Chapter 1478 (2/2)

“I’ll remember this. I came here mostly for news, and now I’ve obtained that. If you could help me out to keep track of any movements in the Eastern Xuan Region, that would be helpful. I can see my goal clearly now. Since they want my life, I won’t let them have it so easily.

“For now, I’ll let the ancient races and ancient family alliance act arrogant. The power structure within them is too complicated. They are both large alliances, and I don’t know which particular members within them are the ones who targeted the Xuantian Dao Sect. So, I’m going to start with the Corrupt path. I’ll slowly investigate who directly partic.i.p.ated in the attack, and once I’m sure, I’ll start my revenge,” said Long Chen.

The ancient races and the ancient families were both composed of tens of thousands of individual powers. Their internal structure was extremely complicated, and not every power within them was bad. Long Chen wasn’t a slaughterer, and he couldn’t treat them all as one for his vengeance.

Leaving that matter for Zheng Wenlong to determine would be the best, but Long Chen couldn’t wait. He was going to use the bloodiest method to shake the Eastern Xuan region. Anyone who partic.i.p.ated in the attack against the Xuantian Dao Sect would have to pay the price in blood.

While Zheng Wenlong investigated this matter, Long Chen couldn’t simply lay there idly. He was preparing to raise his blade toward the Corrupt path. He didn’t need to have any misgivings even if he destroyed the entire Corrupt path.

“Brother Long, I…” Zheng Wenlong hesitated.

Long Chen laughed and patted him on the shoulder. “I know. I won’t make things hard on you.”

He knew what Zheng Wenlong’s issue was. Zheng Wenlong couldn’t provide him with confidential information about the powers the Huayun Sect conducted business with. Therefore, he couldn’t provide Long Chen with confidential information about the Corrupt path, as they had business with them. Telling Long Chen such secrets would be against the rules.

However, Long Chen didn’t need this information from Zheng Wenlong. The Xuantian Dao Sect had some secret information of their own regarding the Corrupt path. At the very least, they knew where some strongholds were located. From the start, Long Chen hadn’t expected to force Zheng Wenlong to tell him these things.

He understood Zheng Wenlong. Although he cared a great deal about their friends.h.i.+p, he was someone with principles. He followed the Wealth G.o.d, and he couldn’t do anything that betrayed his faith.

What Long Chen wanted to know wasn’t business secrets. Such things couldn’t be told to him by Zheng Wenlong, or it would offend many people. Furthermore, this matter also involved Pill Valley, and it might provoke the endless battle between the two of them. Zheng Wenlong didn’t want to implicate the entire Huayun Sect just for his friends.h.i.+p.

If Zheng Wenlong left the Huayun Sect before telling Long Chen these secrets, that would be a different story. Even if others learned about it, it would be the conduct of one person, not the Huayun Sect.

However, after Hua Mingxiong’s advice, Zheng Wenlong had retained his status as a disciple of the Huayun Sect. He helped to answer some of Long Chen’s questions and provided some resources for him, but Zheng Wenlong couldn’t betray his sect.

“Do you need any other help?” asked Zheng Wenlong a bit apologetically. It seemed just information-wise, he wasn’t able to help Long Chen that much.

“For now, I don’t need anything. But don’t worry, when I do, I won’t stand on courtesy. Ah, speaking of which, I have some large business that I wonder if you dare to receive?”

“What business?”

“Just some pills that came from Pill Valley. Well, more accurately, it’s the entire private stock of Pill Valley. Do you dare to take this business?” asked Long Chen.

“You… d.a.m.n, so… it was you.” Zheng Wenlong stared at Long Chen with shock. He instantly connected him to Long San.

“Some of these medicinal pills have Pill Valley’s marking on them. I trust you have a way to remove them. However, this matter is very big, so I have to ask if you have the courage to swallow this big piece of meat.”

Zheng Wenlong smiled bitterly. “This isn’t meat, this is a giant dragon. I need to ask the higher-ups. This… this is too big.”

This was truly too big. If Pill Valley learned of this matter, they would definitely think that Long San was someone the Huayun Sect had sent to Pill Valley. Then Pill Valley wouldn’t hesitate to launch a decisive war against them. That wasn’t something Zheng Wenlong wanted to see.

Zheng Wenlong left for a bit before quickly running back in excitedly. “I’ve asked. You can leave the medicinal pills behind, and the Huayun Sect will help you get rid of them. However, due to the high danger, we will be taking an extra thirty percent cut of the profits. Is that alright?”

That was naturally fine. There were many medicinal pills that Long Chen couldn’t even use. If he kept them, they would just rot in his hands. For the Huayun Sect to only take an extra thirty percent cut made him feel that they truly had a conscience.

Long Chen handed Zheng Wenlong all the medicinal pills. Zheng Wenlong offered to show Long Chen the historical sales of these pills to make him understand how much money he might earn, but Long Chen declined. He didn’t have the time.

Leaving the Huayun Sect, Long Chen found a concealed place to remove his disguise. With his real appearance, he appeared in the middle of the Eastern Xuan City.

“Aren’t you all looking for Long Chen? Well, I’ve come!”
