“I previously heard from someone that if you join the Lingwu Family, they will specially arrange to exterminate the enemies of the newly joined members. Although the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect is much stronger than us, against such a colossal monster like the Lingwu Family it is not enough to even fill the gaps between its teeth.”
Every member of the Yang Family listened attentively to Long Chen’s words.
At this moment, Founder Yang raised his head and asked: “Chen Er, are you sure about this?”
Long Chen nodded his head solemnly and said: “There is no longer anyone here in Poplar Town that is our match. One reason for my decision is the expansion of my growth. As for the other, it is to deal with the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect. Therefore, I have already made up my mind.”
Founder Yang knew exactly how great Long Chen’s strength was right now. At least below the Human Dan Realm, there were no opponents for him anymore.
It was well known that a genius can only grow in a stressful environment. If Long Chen stayed in a small town like Poplar Town he might only have this small level of achievement throughout his entire life.
Looking at the other Yang Family members once again, Long Chen could see their touched and unwilling expressions.
At this moment, Long Chen’s proposal to go to the Lingwu Family was mainly for the Yang Family. He had been thinking of how to save everyone and this time he even decided to travel on a long journey to find the solution. They all felt extremely moved and appreciative of his actions.
To tell the truth, in the past the Yang Family members treated Long Chen horribly but he was able to let bygones be bygones, which made all of them respect him.
“Since this is the case, Chen Er when do you plan to leave?”
“The threat of the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect is still imminent, so it cannot be delayed. I wish to leave tomorrow. Grandfather, do try your best to use the Soul Diffusion Fruit and enter the Deity Dan Realm. With that, when the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect sends some of its people to come and investigate, our Yang Family will have some form of resistance. I will make haste and quickly enter the Lingwu Family.”
“So you’re leaving tomorrow?”
Both Yang Xueqing and Yang Lingqing felt extreme reluctance.
After the battle of the Soul Diffusion Fruits Yang Xueqing’s and Long Chen’s relationship had mended.
“The Crimson Blood Sacred Sect is located in Yuanling City. I think that after I enter Yuanling City it will be easier for me to understand them better. Therefore, I have decided to leave at dawn tomorrow.”
The Yang Family members nodded their heads and, since Long Chen had already decided, they, naturally, did not object.
Now, with Long Chen taking the vanguard against the threat of the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect, they were a little more relieved.
Although they knew that Long Chen was not yet a match for the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect, they still found solace in their hearts.
The night descended quickly.
Long Chen was in his room packing his belongings and suddenly there was a knock on the door. As he opened it, he noticed Yang Xueqing standing outside and she asked: “Can I come in?”
Long Chen smiled and said: “Of course you can. What mother is not allowed in her son’s room?”
With Long Chen’s smiling expression the atmosphere around the two turned lively. Yang Xueqing sat on the wooden chair and, as she was about to speak, Long Chen said: “Don’t even think about apologising. It doesn’t matter to me anymore. Currently, I also no longer blame you for that. I am leaving tomorrow but you don’t have to miss me too much. Isn’t it just only Yuanling City? I can return home anytime.”
Yang Xueqing looked at this imp and rolled her eyes saying: “What nonsense are you saying? The Lingwu Family is governing the whole of the Yuanling City and the security is extremely tight over there. How could you enter and leave as you please? Chen Er, I come here only to tell you that when you get there you must do your best to restrain yourself. If you make a huge mess while your strength is not enough, sooner or later you will suffer.”
“The Lingwu Family is such a colossal existence after all. Rumours have it that there are experts who are over the Deity Dan Realm. These experts are existences that can destroy the heaven and earth. Although, right now, you are number one in Poplar Town, when you get to Lingwu Family you will be at the bottom of the ladder. I do not wish you dead, so you must be extremely cautious……”
Seeing the worried expression on Yang Xueqing’s face, Long Chen was extremely moved and noted her words in his mind.“In the next two months, I will try not to get into any dangerous situations and at the same time find more medicine with spirit healing properties.”
Long Chen became distressed thinking about all these things.
Protecting the Yang Family and the survival of Lingxi’s life had become two of his mission that must be accomplished.
“Lingxi’s current situation is still extremely dangerous. It seems that I will need to invest more time and effort in this matter. This silly girl, how can i bear to let her leave me……”
“Speaking of which, I, Long Chen, am still very poor……”
After understanding this fact, the allotted time gradually passed. Long Chen once again packed some clothes and luggage. He opened his room’s door and saw that the Yang Family members were already outside waiting.
He quickly scanned through the crowd. Realising Yang Lingqing was not there, Long Chen hurriedly asked: “Where is Lingqing?”
Yang Yuntian forced out a smile, shaking his head, and said: “This silly girl said she was preparing a gift, but has yet to return. If you need to leave now, I’m afraid she will not be able to send you off.”
“Let’s go outside first to continue our talk.”
Long Chen was clueless as to what Yang Lingqing was up to. Under the various questions of worry and concern showered on to him, Long Chen and the rest very quickly left the Yang residence. It was at that moment that the sun began to rise and mild golden sunlight shone down on the earth, extending to Long Chen’s feet.
The crowd waited for a while, however Yang Lingqing was nowhere in sight. With a heart filled with anxiety, as soon as Founder Yang moved to ask Long Chen to stop waiting, the cry of a horse came sounding from the distant horizon.
Long Chen looked afar and spotted this silly girl, Yang Lingqing, who was rushing over to the crowd on a two metre tall majestic horse. Very quickly, she arrived in front of everyone.
The crowd was eagerly looking towards the tall and majestic horse. It was completely black from head to tail, had firm muscles, strong and powerful legs, and every breath it made was tough and steady from practice. On the neck there grew a long and black horse mane, and had a pair of eyes that displayed haughtiness and endurance, along with a tinge of red color.
On both its head and legs there were a few black scales. This was seemingly akin to the scales of Long Chen’s [Dragon Soul Transformation].
“This……Isn’t this a demonic beast in the fifth level of the Huang grade: the Ebony Scaled Horse?”
Long Chen never thought that the gift Yang Lingqing would give him was actually this Ebony Scaled Horse.
This majestic and awe-inspiring presence of the beast was favoured greatly by Long Chen. What especially interested him was the faint murderous and blood-filled aura that it carried. The horse was definitely to Long Chen’s liking.
Yang Lingqing understood his tastes very well. She even went into Big Barren Mountain during the night to tame this beast for him! When the masses saw Yang Lingqing covered in dirt as she hopped down the horse’s back, it was clear that she definitely suffered a lot in the process.
The Yang Family had originally prepared a fine horse as Long Chen’s mode of transportation but, compared to the Ebony Scaled Horse, it definitely paled in comparison.
Very soon, Yang Lingqing walked in front of Long Chen. While she excitedly looked towards him she chirped: “Elder Brother Chen, this is a gift that I prepared for you. Do you like it?”
Seeing the pretty face of this girl, which still had some mud that was not yet removed, Long Chen felt extremely moved. He laughed heartily as he embraced Yang Lingqing and furiously pinched her cheeks, saying: “Girl, if only you weren’t my cousin, how great would that be? I would definitely drag you to bed!”
Saying these words in front of the Yang Family members, Long Chen was not embarrassed in the slightest. As for Yang Lingqing, she was extremely shy and angry at the same time. She pushed Long Chen away and hurriedly ran towards her father’s side. When she saw that everyone was looking at her, her whole face flushed red like a ripe apple.
“Alright now, Chen Er, don’t bully my daughter anymore. If not, I’ll fight with you to the death again.” Yang Yuntian laughed heartily.
Looking at the Ebony Scaled Horse Long Chen saw the reluctance in the eyes of everyone. This was including the shy, yet furious, Yang Lingqing, and the gentle gaze radiating from Yang Xueqing. Long Chen did not say another word and mounted the horse.
That Ebony Scaled Horse was so frightened by his powerful aura that it did not dare move.
After taking in a deep breath, Long Chen waved towards the Yang Family members before turning around and headed towards Yuanling City.
At this moment, the sun was scorching in the sky and Long Chen gradually disappeared under the blazing sunlight.
