Long Chen and the others had just stepped out of the Huayun Trading Company's main gate. It was noon, sunlight shining on the earth, and through the shadows of countless buildings, Long Chen sensed strange fluctuations.
After advancing to the first level of Immortal King, Long Chen received the Dragon Spirit blessing. With the Heavenly Dao being affinity, his perception became even sharper.
This kind of perception, in dragon clan terms, is called bloodline sensing. Any being with the power of vital energy and blood can be sensed.
Even more advanced than blood and energy perception is soul perception. Some beings can seal their blood and energy to evade perception.
But while blood and energy can be sealed, the soul cannot. Otherwise, it would truly be sealed, and such concealment would be meaningless.
However, Long Chen was not of the dragon race and lacked a dragon soul. All he could do was perceive through bloodline.
But even so, it was enough. Even if Long Chen sensed the killing intent earlier, he couldn't pinpoint the opponent's location.
Now things were different. Long Chen could clearly sense more than a dozen fluctuations in the shadows, and as he walked out of the courtyard, the fluctuations in the shadows grew more and more.
It seemed they had used some method to teleport within the shadows, yet the spatial fluctuations showed no abnormalities—extremely strange.
Long Chen pretended nothing had happened, smiling as he bid farewell to the people of Huayun Trading Company, then walked straight along the city's main street, without any intention of hiding or hiding.
"Boss, where are we going?" Guo Ran asked.
"With all your money spent and hands empty, act as a force to help the weak, rob the rich to help the poor." Long Chen said seriously.
"Hahaha, this is great!"
Hearing Long Chen say this, Xia Chen and Guo Ran's eyes lit up with excitement.
"What about 'helping the weak by defeating the strong, robbing the rich to help the poor'?" Yu Qingxuan didn't understand, her big eyes full of confusion.
Long Chen immediately felt awkward and didn't know how to explain. He couldn't just tell Yu Qingxuan that they were going to rob someone.
Soon, a large area of buildings appeared ahead, including a magnificent dome-shaped structure with four large characters inscribed on it. At that moment, Yu Qingxuan seemed to understand.
Longteng Trading Company covers a larger area than Huayun Trading Company, with even more grand and magnificent architecture. In Nieying Heaven, wherever Huayun Trading Company is located, there is always a Longteng Trading Company nearby. Sometimes, Longteng Trading Company is right across from Huayun Trading Company.
So, not far after Long Chen left Huayun Trading Company, he could see the Longteng Trading Company's buildings.
As Long Chen and the others walked toward Longteng Trading Company, he sensed more and more fluctuations. He immediately understood that these Night Clan members were hiding inside Longteng Trading Company.
Previously, Long Chen thought the Night Clan and Longteng Trading Company were colluding, but to put on a show, they still had to keep some distance. Now he realized he was wrong—they had come here openly.
It seemed that these people were also very puzzled. Why did Long Chen leave Huayun Trading Company and not flee immediately? Why was he heading straight for Longteng Trading Company? What was he trying to do?
When Long Chen first came out, he had already sensed that this group was already restless, as if they might strike at any moment. But now, he had actually calmed down, seemingly watching and waiting to see how things would unfold.
Long Chen ignored the powerful figures lurking in the shadows and led his men in a grand procession straight to Longteng Trading Company.
When he arrived at the main gate of Longteng Trading Company, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. The steps of Longteng Trading Company were very high; to get here, one had to look up to see the guards at the entrance.
This wasn't business—it was clearly the government office. Doing business requires fair transactions, and this gate already showed Longteng Trading Company's attitude: when doing business with them, you had to keep a low profile.
"Stop! Who are you..."
Before Long Chen arrived, two Divine Venerables stood at the gate, looking at him with contempt.
Long Chen sneered. This was clearly a deliberate question. Long Chen didn't believe Longteng Trading Company would normally let two Divine Venerables guard the gate.
"I'm here to collect taxes."
"Clang!"
After Long Chen finished speaking, he drew his Minghong Blade and swung it fiercely at the main gate.
With a loud explosion, the entire city trembled violently. The massive gatehouse was smashed to dust by Long Chen's blade. The two Divine Venerables spat blood wildly, nearly killed by the terrifying blade wind.
They never dreamed that Long Chen would dare to directly challenge Longteng Trading Company. This was simply insane.
"Boom!"
Behind the gate, dozens of experts had been hiding. But after the gate exploded, Long Chen slashed down with his blade. Those dozens of powerful figures flew out like rolling gourds, smashing the surrounding buildings one after another.
"Robbery!"
Long Chen rushed through the gate, shouting sharply. Thunder exploded, and the entire city trembled under his furious roar.
"Boss, aren't we supposed to collect taxes?" Guo Ran asked in confusion.
Long Chen glared at Guo Ran and said, "Collecting taxes and compiling a list is straightforward, and robbing is straightforward. Enough nonsense, hurry up and get to work." "
This is outrageous, you brat, you're courting death!"
At that moment, a furious roar rang out. Before the person even appeared, Long Chen could tell from the voice that it was the Heavenly Venerable from Longteng Trading Company who had come that day.
Sure enough, amid the roar, the void trembled as a Heavenly Venerable from Longteng Trading Company appeared. His face was filled with murderous intent, but his eyes were filled with excitement.
He was just thinking about how to quietly get Long Chen killed, but unexpectedly, Long Chen came to his door. Wasn't this a pleasant surprise?
"Enough talk. I opened this path, planted this tree. In short, everything here is mine."
I advise you to give up resisting. After all, money belongs to the trading company, and your life is yours. We only seek wealth, not harm lives. Putting down resistance is your only way out. Long Chen shouted loudly.
"Hahaha..."
The Heavenly Venerable expert from Longteng Trading Company laughed bitterly in anger. This was the biggest joke he'd ever seen in his life—someone had robbed him right on his head.
"You idiot, do you think this is Ziyan Heaven?" Today, none of you will survive. Guards, activate the grand formation and kill them all, leaving no survivors. The Celestial Venerable expert from Longteng Trading Company said with a sinister expression.
"Buzz..."
As he finished speaking, the entire Longteng Trading Company was filled with layers of barriers that lit up layer upon layer, numbering dozens in total. In an instant, this place became an impenetrable prison.
"Long Chen, take your secret with you and die!"
After the barrier was sealed, the Heavenly Venerable expert of Longteng Trading Company chuckled and suddenly waved his hand.
At that moment, the whole world suddenly turned dark, the chilling chill sending chills down one's spine, as if immersed in the darkness.
Long Chen chuckled too, "You really look down on me that much?" You want to kill me with some Immortal King realm rookies? "
Long Chen suddenly planted his long blade on the ground, a thunder orb appeared above his left hand. The moment it appeared, the night was ignited. Under the glow of the lightning, shadows could be seen wielding sharp blades and charging toward Long Chen.
Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and the others were all startled; they had no idea there was such a terrifying group around them.
Those shadows were exposed to the lightning and immediately fled in all directions, as if frightened.
"Too late, Thunderlight will destroy the world."
With a sharp shout, Long Chen thunder exploded in his hand, transforming into raging waves of thunder that instantly devoured the swarm.
