Chapter 985

“What? It’s this exaggerated?”

There were huge mountains around them, all of their peaks piercing through the clouds . Three other huge flying boats were stopped on the empty land already . But those weren’t the important points .

The important point was that there were seas of people gathered in front of those flying boats . It was a sea of people that stretched as far as they could see .

Hundreds of thousands of disciples were in front of the three flying boats . sitting on the gra.s.s, some in small groups, some in groups of hundreds .

Although they had long since been prepared, Long Chen and the others were deeply shaken . Hundreds of thousands of Sea Expansion experts were gathered here . That scene was shocking .

When Guo Ran stopped the flying boat, hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes looked their way . Those eyes were full of astonishment, because the flying boat Long Chen and the others were on was covered in huge cracks . It looked like it might break down at any moment .

“Elder Sha, this is…?”

An expert wearing Elder robes walked over, looking at their flying boat in shock .

“Don’t mention it . We were incredibly unlucky and almost lost our lives in the eastern sea . ” Elder Sha was clearly familiar with him . He returned to his indifferent and cold self, bitterly smiling and shaking his head .

That Elder was tactful and didn’t continue asking . But once Long Chen and the others walked off the boat, he nervously asked, “Elder Sha, this is…”

That Elder was clearly startled by how few people there were from the Eastern Wasteland .

“It’s hard to explain . Don’t ask . ” Elder Sha once more bitterly smiled .

The other two Elders also walked over and chatted a bit with Elder Sha . The four of them were clearly very familiar with each other . Speaking with those from the same generation as him, Elder Sha’s expression wasn’t as icy as before .

“How many disciples came in total?” asked Elder Sha .

“There are 876000 from the other three regions . Adding your Eastern Wasteland’s disciples, there’s a total of 876500,” said the first Elder . But even he smiled when saying this . All of them couldn’t help but smile . This time, there were pitifully few disciples from the Eastern Wasteland . Although the Eastern Wasteland was always last place, it wasn’t as exaggerated as this .

The other regions’ disciples looked over . Some were curious, while some displayed their disdain . Some even made provoking gestures .

“As expected, it really is lively,” sneered Guo Ran .

“Let it go . Is there a point to quibble with children? It would be better for you to… cough, you understand . ” Long Chen winked at Guo Ran .

“A, that’s right . There’s definitely going to be a few beautiful girls with this many people . Boss, let’s go pick some up together- aiya!”

Long Chen had been glaring at him as hard as possible, but this fool seemed to have gotten lost in that beautiful dream of his . As a result, he didn’t see Long Chen’s subtle gestures, and he was kicked by Tang Wan-er .

“You deserve it . What do I teach you normally? How can your thoughts be so dirty? I was clearly saying you could exchange pointers with experts and figure out your weaknesses through greater experience . You can’t waste the springtime of your youth, but why is your head always full of such nonsense?” Long Chen scolded him righteously . Guo Ran wouldn’t drag him down this time .

“Haha, are all the children these days so lively?” laughed one of the Elders . Contrary to Elder Sha, this person seemed extremely friendly .

“Lively? Yes, they are truly lively . ” Elder Sha bitterly smiled .

After that huge battle, Elder Sha had thought about it . That ordinary bait they had launched out couldn’t even draw over that many seventh rank sea demons, let alone eighth rank sea demons .

Later, he had been able to privately ask Long Chen about this . But Long Chen refused to admit to anything . However, although Elder Sha was inflexible, he wasn’t a fool . He knew this matter was definitely caused by him .

Now that his peaceful life had returned, when he thought of how he had almost been killed because of Long Chen, he was speechless . But he did admire Long Chen, especially since in that dangerous crisis, he had gone out to face the tenth rank sea demon’s pressure . Despite knowing that it was a definite death, he didn’t retreat a single step . That courage was something he admired .

So he didn’t try to get to the bottom of this matter . He was prepared to keep this secret forever .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, we have to leave and report on our mission . This is my address in the outer sect . If you have any instructions, please don’t hesitate . ” w.a.n.g Mang handed Long Chen a jade plate which recorded his post . Thus, It would be easy to find him in the future .

“Alright . ” Long Chen nodded .

w.a.n.g Mang and the others respectfully bowed to Long Chen before leaving . They were delighted, feeling like they had been blessed . Why? Because other than the Eastern Wasteland, the other regions all had more newcomers than ever . Each one of them had over two hundred thousand disciples .

They would have to spread their hunting profits amongst themselves, so it was uncertain whether any of them could get even a single Neidan . Compared to them, w.a.n.g Mang and the others felt like a G.o.d had specially taken care of them .
