That was a life storage stone, and it was capable of storing living creatures temporarily . Many life rings were created using low level life storage stone, making it so they could only store plants .

However, high level life storage stones could accept living creatures . It was an extremely miraculous stone .

The s.p.a.ce inside it had no natural laws and no spiritual qi . It could barely give enough life energy for its inhabitants to not immediately die .

Long Chen’s sword stopped right before slas.h.i.+ng through Gui Yan’s head . But because it happened too suddenly, his sword swiped across Gui Yan’s forehead, drawing blood .

Long Chen had no choice but to stop . Small faces floated up one by one on the life storage stone . He could see hundreds of the Spirit race women lying in that static s.p.a.ce, completely unmoving .

“Long Chen, I know you won’t kill me . ” Gui Yan clenched the stone . As long as he crushed it, those Spirit race women would be killed .

Long Chen didn’t say anything and just stared at Gui Yan coldly . He hadn’t expected him to have such a trump card . No matter what abilities Long Chen had, he wouldn’t be able to kill Gui Yan now . Was this the karmic luck of a rank nine Celestial?

“Long Chen, the warriors of the Spirit race aren’t afraid of death . As long as you kill him, they’ll be happy even in death . Otherwise, with this person’s power, he’ll kill even more of our sisters in the future . ” The one called the Spirit Guard brought the others back . Looking at the life storage rock, she felt a bit unwilling, but she still urged Long Chen to kill Gui Yan .

That made Gui Yan’s expression change . Right now, he could only use these hostages to extort Long Chen . This was his final trump card . Without it, he would definitely die .

“Long Chen, I trust you won’t do that . You’ll let me go . ” Gui Yan stared at Long Chen confidently .

“You know me so well?” Long Chen stabbed his sword into the ground, leaning on it . His expression was calm .

“Give up on scheming . Even if you could defeat me, you can’t kill me instantly . It’s impossible for you to prevent me from crus.h.i.+ng this life storage rock . ” Gui Yan seemed to see through Long Chen’s thoughts .

Long Chen was truly unable to do this . He had dozens of ways to kill Gui Yan, but he couldn’t stop him from crus.h.i.+ng the life storage stone right before his death .

Even if Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, Gu Yang, and the others helped, it was impossible . This trump card of Gui Yan’s just happened to be Long Chen’s weak point .

“You win . Leave the life storage ring, and I’ll let you go,” sighed Long Chen .

“Long Chen, it’s not worth it!” The Spirit Guard was startled .

“No, killing him isn’t worth it . In my eyes, he’s just a dog . I can take his life whenever I want . Getting the lives of hundreds of sisters for the life of a dog is an excellent trade,” said Long Chen .

Gui Yan’s expression sank, but he didn’t say anything . Although he was mocked by Long Chen, he knew he had managed to save his life .

“I want to bring the life storage stone with me . You can send someone-” probed Gui Yan cautiously .

“Don’t play this game with me . Although you have a trump card, it isn’t as powerful as you think . You can threaten me, but you can’t threaten the people of the Spirit race . If you try taking a single inch, I won’t be so lenient,” said Long Chen coldly .

“Alright . I swear-”

“You aren’t qualified to swear an oath with me . Gui Yan, it seems you still don’t understand your situation . You have no qualifications to bargain or make conditions right now . The people you’ve captured aren't people from the Dragonblood Legion . Do you understand?”

Gui Yan’s expression changed several times . He shouted, “Then how do I know you won’t go back on your word as soon as I hand over the life storage stone?!”

“Tch, my boss just feels sorry for these sisters . Your life isn’t even worth a fart to him . Furthermore, who do you think my boss is? Within all the Central Plains, he’s well known for being a real man . When does he ever go back on his word? As for your own garbage reputation, how much c.r.a.p do you think that’s worth?” shouted Guo Ran .

Gui Yan thought about it, and he agreed that it was true . Although Long Chen was famed for being domineering and vicious, he never went back on his word . There were many things people cursed him for, but that wasn’t one of them .

“Spirit race, if I hand over this life storage stone, will you attack me?” Gui Yan still wasn’t at ease, and he shouted to the Spirit race experts .

His Ghost King was destroyed, and his combat power had dropped precipitously . Let alone Long Chen, even the Spirit Guard could kill him .

“Long Chen is the friend of the Spirit race . His att.i.tude is our att.i.tude as well,” said the Spirit Guard .

Although they all wanted Gui Yan dead, they also hoped for their sisters to return alive . This contradiction made it so although they were unwilling to see Long Chen release Gui Yan, they were grateful to him as well for the lives of their sisters .

“Fine, I’ll trust you this time . ” Gui Yan clenched his teeth . He knew he had no other choices and tossed the life storage stone to Long Chen .

Long Chen received it and tossed it to the Spirit Guard . The Spirit Guard activated it, and light flashed . Hundreds of Spirit race women appeared on the battlefield .

The other Spirit race women went up and pressed their hands on their foreheads . Life energy poured into them, awakening them .
