As both the marriage and demonic beast hunting competition were approaching, those few youngsters who were participating in the competition were all feeling nervous. As for the others, with the joyous occasion of marriage, they all had smiling expressions on their faces.

Especially for Founder Yang, who after waiting half his life could finally see his own daughter achieving bliss. His mouth was always smiling these days.

One early morning, Long Chen followed Yang Lingqing, Yang Lingyue and Yang Wu. Under Yang Qingxuan’s lead, they all headed toward one of the exits of Big Barren Mountain outside Poplar Town.

As for the other disciples, both families agreed not to let them participate because of their inadequate strength. They could barely protect themselves, so if they entered Big Barren Mountain, they might end up being burdens.

This way, each family has sent a total of four people. The Yang Family’s strength may be slightly weaker, but killing Demonic Beasts also requires some luck, so the winner and loser is still undetermined.

However, both the Bai and Yang Family masters did not follow the hunting party, and this scene of both parties drawing swords only seemed to be an interlude for the marriage. They both were busy preparing for the marriage, so they let the younger generation do as they pleased in the fight for the mayor position in Poplar Town.

Along the way, Yang Lingyue and Yang Wu walked together while Long Chen and Yang Lingqing followed behind.

“Hey, do you really have some methods to protect your life?”

Yang Lingqing asked concernedly.

“Only a few clowns from the Bai Family. How can they be my match?”

Long Chen mysteriously laughed.

Yang Lingqing momentarily showed a helpless expression and haughtily said: “Alright then, I can’t be bothered to talk to you anymore. When it really gets dangerous, just call out loudly. If I hear you, I’ll definitely try my best to help.”

Long Chen nodded his head; in fact he did really appreciate this younger sister of his. If it weren’t for the blood ties, he would have made his move by now.

However, after listening Long Chen’s arrogant words, Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue turned back and looked at him, their eyes filled with ridicule. As they turned back, Yang Lingyue looked at her own elder brother and said softly: “Brother, remember what you promised me.”

Yang Wu nodded his head and said: “If the Bai Family does not attack, I will teach him a lesson.”

Both of their voices were extremely soft, so Long Chen and Yang Lingqing could not hear them clearly.

Very soon, they reached their destination, and Long Chen realised that the party of five from the Bai Family had already arrived.

The leader of the Bai Family was the fourth son Bai Zhanfeng, and the other four would naturally be the four participants in the demonic beast hunting competition. Once they saw Long Chen, Bai Shiji momentarily smirked and pointed a finger at Long Chen.

Long Chen knew that Bai Shiji had meant the [Dark Heavenly Finger].

This was obviously a provocation, but Long Chen pretended not to see. Not even giving a glance at Bai Shiji, he instead looked at the person who stood at the forefront. He was the overseer of the demonic beast hunting competition who had come from the Lingwu Family of the Lingwu City.

This person was wearing an embroidered black robe, and there was a mantle on his head. His features were obscured, but his body emitted a faint aura. It was an indescribable feeling for Long Chen.

“How strong is he?”

“Telling a country bumpkin like you will have no effect. Just understand it like this: Your grandfather cannot withstand even a single stroke of his.”

A casual sentence like this made all the hairs on Long Chen stand up!This Lord Lang’s voice had carried a mysterious magical power to it, and even Bai Shichen, who had the strongest cultivation, had cold sweat forming while listening to those words.

In fact, the words spoken by Lord Lang had long ago been mentioned and warned by their own family elders. They all had an understanding of the immense background of the Lingwu Family, so they naturally did not dare play any tricks.

“Last time there were people who buried the energy cores beforehand, but in the end, for each core buried, one person was buried……”

“If you don’t have any questions, let’s go ahead and begin. Seize the day!”

Long Chen understood. Under the watch of this Lord Lang, to obtain an energy core, there were only two ways. One: Kill Demonic Beasts, two: Obtain it from the other party.

At this point, Bai Shiji and the rest glanced at Long Chen coldly and entered the Big Barren Mountain first. As for Yang Wu and the rest, they followed behind hurriedly. Although Yang Lingqing could not put her mind at ease with Long Chen, she had warned him and then left in the end.

“Eight hours’ time is more than enough for me to kill Bai Shiji. And at this point, I shall just take the energy cores from him.”

Thinking of this point, Long Chen wanted to enter Big Barren Mountain as well. However, at this moment, Lord Lang had actually stood in front of him and sized him up. Then he said, ” Not only a month, but you have already broken through 4 Dragon Pulse Realm levels, and even mastered the [Celestial Core Technique] huh?”

Long Chen was really stumped this time.

This mysterious Lord Lang had actually known his matters so well, even including the [Celestial Core Technique]?

As Long Chen was about to ask, he suddenly said: ”I will not hold back your time, hurry up and enter. I sense that the Bai Family members have enmity towards you. It’s good to be careful.”

After talking, his body made a stealth movement and disappeared without a trace. Even his directions were unknown……

“He knew that I mastered the [Celestial Core Technique], and he was even concerned about my life and death. The voice and figure had some familiarity to it, this person……”

Long Chen suddenly remembered the young man who had given him the [Celestial Core Technique], and he almost cried out in surprise. He was a hundred percent sure that this so called Lord Lang was the one whose beautiful looks could win over many ladies. These bewitching looks even made Long Chen unsure of his gender!

“At that point, I have already felt that his background was immense. However, I never would have thought that he would actually be a member of the Lingwu family. It’s no wonder that he came to Poplar Town. Most likely it was to first understand the background of the two big families in Poplar Town. However, the [Celestial Core Technique] he gave me helped me tremendously, and even now, he still warned me. It looks like I, Long Chen’s, destiny isn’t so bad……”

As he thought of this matter delightfully, he rapidly entered Big Barren Mountain and concealed his presence.

“Those who treat me well, I will return them a hundred times. Lingxi, Lingqing, and that Lord Yang, have all treated me well unconditionally. I will never let them down!”

With his own ability, Long Chen was rapidly progressing in his strength.

“With Lingxi around, finding Bai Shiji is much easier than him finding me. Oh well, I will first let them and the Demonic Beasts tire themselves out. And after taking a stroll at Big Barren Mountain, I will then go claim his life.”

With Lingxi’s strong sense of perception, if Long Chen had met any monstrous Demonic Beasts, he could totally go a roundabout way. Gradually, he entered Big Barren Mountain, and the surrounding forests had slowly become taller. That cold atmosphere slowly turned heavier.

“Big Barren Mountain’s deepest part would have to be Desolate Beast Domain. Last time I went in another direction to get into the Desolate Beast Domain. That’s why I did not pass by Big Barren Mountain……”

“However, this feeling of emptiness is slowly getting stronger. I think we’re almost at the Desolate Beast Domain……”

At this point, Lingxi suddenly said: “Hey, in front there seems to be a person’s presence inside a rather concealed cave.”

Long Chen was momentarily stunned and said: “Is it that Lord Lang?”

“No, it’s a fellow of the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, and there seems to be a sweet scent coming from there. I know, he must be guarding a tree with a spirit medicine that has not yet ripened!
