Chapter 1475: Treacherous Scheme

The Eastern Xuan City was flouris.h.i.+ng just as it had before. Waves of pedestrians flowed through the streets. Just the transportation formations had thousands of people lining up.

Long Chen had just reached the Eastern Xuan City when he saw hundreds of experts in front of the transportation formation he was on, investigating everyone who was entering the city.

There was a huge sign at the front, and the image of a person had been drawn on top of it.

“What uniform lines, what bright colors! Even this person’s expression, bearing, and emotion is captured so vividly! I daresay that this painter was an absolute master.” Seeing the painting, Long Chen couldn’t help saying some words of praise.

The person depicted on the sign was himself. The color, the details, they were all captured perfectly. Even Long Chen felt praise for the artist. It truly looked just like him.

“Hey, do you not want your life anymore? That person’s a devil who kills without batting an eye. If you want to die, then don’t bring me down with you.” The man in front of Long Chen in the line turned back to glare at him.

“I was just commenting on the art. Based on your words, this handsome, heroic person has quite the story?” Long Chen couldn’t help feeling that this was funny.

That person’s expression changed, and he glared at Long Chen before actually going out of the line and getting back to the end, looking like he was avoiding a plague, as if just being near Long Chen would infect him.

“What, seriously?” Long Chen startled. How had his words provoked such terror?

“Little brother, you should be quieter. Don’t find trouble for yourself. Let me tell you, those people up ahead are all b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Even if there’s nothing wrong, they’ll find something wrong. If you say anything regarding that person, they’ll immediately investigate you,” whispered the man behind him.

“It’s not like I know the person in the picture. Why would I be afraid?” asked Long Chen.

The person looked up ahead, and seeing they were still several miles from the front of the line, he seemed to feel that this distance was safe enough for him to say, “Little brother, I can tell you have no experience with the world. What matters isn’t whether or not you know that person. What matters is how much you have in your pocket, understood?”

“I really don’t understand.”

“Ah, youngsters, you just haven’t suffered enough. Do you know who that person in the drawing is?”

“Please tell me. This person’s so handsome and carefree, a clearly remarkable hero, someone who can hold up the heavens and the earth-”

“Stop, stop! If you start talking like this, I’ll also join the line at the back,” said that person helplessly. He was also afraid of being implicated.

At this time, there were already several people near them in the line that had run to the back again, clearly wanting to distance themselves from Long Chen.

On his way here, Long Chen had thought through many things, and he felt like Li Tianxuan and Wilde should still be safe. Furthermore, having taken a bite out of the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff, he felt much better. He was more relaxed, which allowed him to joke around with this person.

“Alright, fine, I won’t say anything. Big brother, tell me, what’s the story behind this?” Long Chen directly gave this person a small jade bottle.

The person was startled. He took the bottle, and sweeping it with his divine sense, he found a top grade ninth tier medicinal pill.

He was ecstatic, but he was smart, and that delight only flashed for a moment on his face before being suppressed.

Now he felt that this inexperienced rookie was someone who had to come from an extremely shocking background.

Most likely, he was someone with high status from a supreme power who had come out for experience. That was why he didn’t understand the way the world worked. However, the way he spent his many was shocking. This one medicinal pill was worth over half his total wealth.

“Don’t get any ideas. Although I don’t know much, someone like you is unable to swindle me,” said Long Chen, a touch of disdain appearing on his face.

From that person’s gaze, he had seen greed and craftiness. This person had actually started to view him as a fat sheep. Did his fake appearance really look like a spoiled young master?

Long Chen made his gaze sharp. This person now felt like two sharp blades were piercing his heart and seeing through his thoughts.

“No, no, it was a misunderstanding! I wouldn’t dare to have such thoughts!” The person hastily shook his head. Sweat dripped down his forehead.

He felt like a death G.o.d was staring at him. As long as Long Chen wished it, he could kill him.

“Speak. What exactly is going on? I only just came out for experience, so I don’t know what’s happening in this secular world. If you explain it properly, there might be a reward,” said Long Chen, boasting shamelessly.

Since this person thought he was a young master, he could just act like a young master, someone who knew nothing about the world but was actually an extremely powerful existence. At least then an idiot wouldn’t try to scam him.

“Yes, of course! It seems you’re not someone from the Eastern Xuan Region, or you’d definitely know who this terrifying existence is.” That person hastily began to act sincerely.
