Chapter 269
The curtains had set on this Righteous and Corrupt battle . This battle had shocked both sides, and there was no one who didn’t know Long Chen’s name .
He was praised as Su Prefecture’s number one junior generation . Although he was only at the peak of Blood Condensation, he was unrivalled within the Tendon Transformation realm, capable of even consecutively killing Favored .
That caused a huge wave within the Corrupt path . This time, they had achieved an unprecedented level of power and brought several times the number of disciples compared to before .
There were even five Favored who had appeared at the same time . This generation was acclaimed as their strongest generation . They had expected their disciples to utterly slaughter the Righteous disciples .
But when Gui Yan brought the remaining, decimated disciples back, the entire Corrupt path of this region was dumbfounded . Of over twenty thousand disciples, only five hundred had returned .
Furthermore, three of their Favored had died . The one acclaimed as a genius who only appeared once in a thousand years, Yin Luo, had actually had one of his legs severed .
That news greatly shocked the Corrupt path . They were practically unable to believe this result . After doing a detailed investigation, they finally heard the whole story .
Just Long Chen’s name struck terror in the hearts of the Corrupt disciples now . That was especially true of the Corrupt disciples who had managed to survive that battle . Just hearing his name would make them s.h.i.+ver from head to toe .
Long Chen’s strength caused a great deal of pressure for the Corrupt path’s experts . The higher-ups of the Corrupt path had even held a special meeting just to decide how to handle Long Chen .
And the result was that those Corrupt path experts all unanimously voted that Long Chen could not be allowed to live . Otherwise, he would definitely pose a fatal threat to them once he matured .
They distributed Long Chen’s name and picture to all the various Corrupt powers and he was placed on their must-kill list .
And in fact, this region’s Corrupt path’s high-level members even sent the news up to their higher-ups . After all, the appearance of such a threat had to be told to the higher-ups for them to think of a way to kill him .
Long Chen was a disciple of the Xuantian Monastery . Being so powerful, he would definitely be cherished and protected . It’d be impossible for them to kill him secretly . This region’s Corrupt path would need to borrow the strength of the higher-ups to handle this .
Yin Luo had quickly grown back his leg with his sect’s help . But although his outer wounds had healed, the humiliation he felt practically drove him mad .
He had always been acclaimed as a once-in-a-thousand-year genius . He had never met a match in the same realm, and even Favored found it difficult to last even ten exchanges with him .
He, who possessed the strength to jump realms and kill experts, had actually had his leg cut off by a Blood Condensation brat . That kind of humiliation was unacceptable to him .
After recovering, Yin Luo went into seclusion, sending out word that once he left seclusion, he would personally go cut off Long Chen and Mo Nian’s heads .
Long Chen didn’t care the slightest bit about the Righteous and Corrupt paths’ commotion . Currently he was hurrying to Phoenix Cry, wanting to reunite with everyone .
However, Long Chen wasn’t alone . Wilde, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, and Little Snow were with him .
Originally, Tang Wan-er hadn’t been planning on going back with Long Chen . But for some reason, Chu Yao had pulled her in . Tang Wan-er had had no choice but to follow along with a red face .
Long Chen could sense those two girls were acting weird . Whenever he wasn’t paying attention, they would always stealthily be whispering about something .
Long Chen had tried several times to secretly investigate what they were talking about, but he was always noticed by Chu Yao . As a Favored, Chu Yao’s Spiritual Strength wasn’t much weaker than his own .
Furthermore, after absorbing that Favored’s Dao-mark, Tang Wan-er had managed to miraculously retain its power, also becoming a Favored .
It was said that Favored contained a trace of heaven and earth’s karmic luck . Once you became a Favored, you would obtain heaven and earth’s blessing, allowing you to cultivate twice as fast with half the effort .
Tang Wan-er said that after she absorbed that Dao-mark and had the a.s.sistance of the Heavenly Daos, she had begun to feel a much greater affinity for heaven and earth’s spiritual qi .
At the same time, she also found that her wind energy had changed, becoming incredibly powerful .
It could be said that her luck had been very good . In comparison, after Chu Yao had killed her opponent, she had immediately tossed that corpse to Ye Zhiqiu . Ye Zhiqiu had also absorbed that Favored’s Dao-mark, but unfortunately, she had failed . That Dao-mark had only paused in her body for moment before fading away .
As for Wilde, once he had killed his opponent, he had also tried absorbing his Dao-mark . But he had also failed .
Of the three of them, only Tang Wan-er had succeeded . And so it could be seen that to steal the Heavenly Daos’ karmic luck depended greatly on chance .
Karmic luck was extremely profound and mysterious . It was almost illusory and seemingly nonexistent . But it was definitely a real thing . It was simply too mysterious to completely understand .
“Hey, what are you two whispering about? If you have anything hurtful to say, just say it loudly for everyone . ” Long Chen was somewhat discontented .
Long Chen and Wilde were walking at the front, while Chu Yao and Tang Wan-er were riding Little Snow, keeping far behind them . Occasionally their quiet, tinkling laughter would ring out .
Hearing Long Chen’s grumbling, Chu Yao laughed and didn’t reply . Tang Wan-er was the one who said, “You bad scoundrel, are you unhappy about us having our fun things to talk about?”
Although Long Chen acted discontented, he actually felt a huge pressure fall off his shoulders . He was relieved to see that Chu Yao didn’t feel any resentment because of Tang Wan-er’s existence .
But he was extremely curious how a bizarre, fiery girl like Tang Wan-er was able to converse so happily with Chu Yao, who normally didn’t like to talk too much and was even a bit shy . That was inconceivable to Long Chen .
Wilde suddenly said, “Brother Long, let’s hurry up . My stomach’s rumbling . I’m going to faint from the hunger . ”
