”Brother Long.” Li Tang stood at the door to Long Chen's room and lightly knocked. Long Chen opened the door and welcomed him with a smile.
”How's Brother Long's strength?” Li Tang asked.
”Alright, thank you for the Soul Warming Fruit.” Long Chen politely replied.
”What's the point of trifling matters? Then, since brother Long has recovered from your injuries, I wonder if you would like to come with me and Uncle Yuchi to the villa to hunt.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the villa, where Yuchi Jing was waiting with three horses, accompanied by a group of people. Seeing that the two of them had arrived, Yuchi Jun. With a few giggles, Yuchi Jinglei led the horses out of the villa, followed by Long Chen and Li Tang.
When he looked at the village again, the village looked desolate under the sunlight, but it was no longer as eerie as before. Li Tang had buried everyone in the village at the back of the village on a slope facing the sun.
The few of them got on their horses. Li Tang pointed in a direction and the group of people galloped off.
On the way, Li Tang turned his head to ask Long Chen, ”I wonder if Brother Long has ever ridden a horse in the Dragon World before?”
Long Chen shook his head.
”Are there a lot of divine beasts in the Dragon Realm?” Yuchi Jing also came over, smiling as he asked.
Long Chen paused and nodded. This made him think of a certain slut. Ever since he came out of the formation, he discovered that he had been teleported to two different locations with the scales.
When he came out, he could only feel that his connection with the Sharp Scales was still there, but it was far enough away. At that time, he had also suffered some injuries from the battle with the Tiger Wolf Guards, so he decided to rest at the Li Residence for a few days.
However, these two days, he suddenly felt that the connection between him and the scales had become much weaker. Logically speaking, after separating from the scales, he should have taken the initiative to come and find them.
He had followed Li Tang out to hunt because he wanted to see what had happened to Sharp Scales.
Although Li Tang said that he was out hunting today, he was actually trying to sound out Long Chen's intentions. After all, he was gambling. The stakes were too large, so he couldn't afford to lose. He didn't want to lose everything. If he lost too many lives, even if he died and entered the Nether Realm, he wouldn't be able to rest at ease.
”Isn't it great to drive a divine beast?” Yuchi Jin asked.
”Divine Beasts aren't used to controlling them. They are just like everyone else, and they also have feelings, so we treat them like our own family. Sometimes, we treat the Divine Beasts that we raised from young even more deeply.”
Long Chen couldn't help but think of Zhu Juan of the Free and Unrestrained Sects, and also of the Free and Unrestrained Sects. He didn't know if Hua Jiu'er had done anything to the Free and Unrestrained Sects to break down the bridge.
Seeing the blank look in Long Chen's eyes, Li Tang didn't ask any further questions. He picked up the steed he sat on and quickly lifted it up.
”Is this the Ten Thousand Evil Forest?” Long Chen asked as he sat on his horse and looked at the endless forest.
Yes and no.” Li Tang smiled and pointed the whip in his hand at the forest not far away, ”This place used to be a part of the Demon Area. The Ten Thousand Evil Forest was previously connected to this place. ' After that, the Tianxin Royal Family overthrew the previous dynasty and invaded the Demon Region. The eight madmen of the Heavenly Heart Royal Family started a great war with the demons, and along the way, the Demon Region Dragon and Phoenix Tribes used all their strength to resist, but they were still forced to retreat step by step. In the end, the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes invited the Primordial Divine Beasts to help, and only then did the Human-Demon War stop.
In truth, the so-called 'Great Spirit Demon War' was actually a war between the Tianxin Royal Family and the various sects. The other empires would have to avoid it if they wanted to. Among them, the Heavenly Heart Royal Family was the main force, with twelve members of the Heavenly Heart Royal Family's Xuan Ren brothers and sisters. Half of them had died in the demon war, which was how the Heavenly Heart Royal Family gained its reputation. Among these twelve siblings, King Xuan was the fiercest, with a million souls dead in his hands. Rumor has it that even those of the same cultivation level as him would not dare to carelessly touch the blade in Xuan Zhou's hand, and if one did not, they would instantly lose their minds, just because that long blade is tainted with the anger of a million souls. ”
Long Chen could see everything clearly. When Li Tang mentioned the Tianxin royal family, this group of people all lowered their heads, not showing any reverence towards them.
Yuchi Jin no longer had a silly look on his face. Instead, he lifted his head and looked into the distance, his lips tight and his fingers gripping the horsewhip so tightly that they turned white.
A smile hung at the corner of Li Tang's mouth. When he opened and closed his eyes, no fluctuations could be seen. However, that hint of madness hidden deep within his eyes made Long Chen unknowingly stare blankly.
Brother Long might not know, but the Tiger Wolf Guards that we fought against last time was established during the Great Human-Demon War. At that time, the Tiger Guards were in the open, and their fighting strength was astonishing, and they were not inferior to the Vermillion Bird Army of the Xuan King. However, the Wolf Guards were always in the dark, and many of the great powers of the demon race had died under the hands of the Wolf Guards.
Long Chen seemed to have guessed the identities of Li Tang and the Li Residence, but they needed to be verified.
”Look at what I'm saying!” Li Tang seemed to come back to his senses and slapped his thigh, waking everyone up. Yuchi Jingjing was still as silly as a bear, and everyone else seemed not to have heard anything.
”Let's hunt properly. What's the point of saying so much?” Li Tang said to Long Chen with a smile.
