Chapter 1535: Attacking the Soul Transformation Realm
When the photographic jade was activated, Long Chen saw an ancient city. In the middle of the city was a giant steel frame.
At the top of the frame was a cut-off ax head. The ax head was as large as a mountain and emitted a cold, sharp light.
This was a giant guillotine. And captured at the bottom of it, bound by countless chains that pierced through its body, was Cloud. The ground was dyed red with its blood.
“Cloud…”
Although Long Chen had prepared himself for this sight, his eyes instantly turned red, and killing intent filled the room.
Long Chen clenched his teeth so hard that they creaked. Cloud was currently pierced through with hundreds of thick chains and bound to the guillotine.
Its whole body was covered in blood. Its rainbow feathers were now dim, and its wings had even been severed. It lay there, unconscious.
Hatred overflowed from Long Chen. Even after calculating things over and over again, he had still fallen for his enemies’ scheming. They had actually captured Cloud as a hostage.
“Long Chen, I know you’ll definitely see this sight. Hehe, how is it? Are you angry?”
Standing on top of Cloud’s head were three figures. They were Sha Guangyan, Peng Wansheng, and Ye Qingkuang. The one speaking as Sha Guangyan.
Although this was just a photographic jade, the three of them were looking right at him. Clearly, they had intentionally spread this photographic jade for him to see.
“Yes, I really am angry.” Long Chen coldly replied, his voice full of killing intent. These people were too despicable.
“In truth, I really wish I could see your expression when you receive this photographic jade. I’m sure it’ll be very marvelous. Long Chen, I heard you’re very loyal to your friends. I wonder if that really is true? Now your housepet is in our hands. Don’t worry, it hasn’t died yet…”
Sha Guangyan kicked one of the chains beside him, and its runes lit up. Cloud’s body shuddered. Clearly, these chains were torture tools.
“Hehe, sorry, in order to show you that it’s still alive, I have to hurt it a bit. You don’t mind, do you?” laughed Sha Guangyan with a fake apologetic appearance.
Long Chen clenched his fists, wis.h.i.+ng to charge right through this image and punch this loathsome face.
“I won’t waste words. Long Chen, you’ve committed so many nefarious crimes that the entire Eastern Xuan Region’s junior generation has gathered for a Dragon Slaughtering Convention. In the name of upholding justice and removing evil from this world, we will use your steed as a sacrificial offering. Using its blood, we will swear to kill you. If you really have guts, you can bring your Dragonblood Legion to fight against the Eastern Xuan Region’s top junior generation experts. Don’t worry, in the Dragon Slaughtering Convention, Life Star experts are prohibited from interfering. You’ll still have a slight chance of saving your companion. If you win, this Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow will be yours. Of course, if you don’t dare to come, then there’s nothing left to say. The Dragon Slaughtering Convention will take place next month on the eighth. The location will be the Grand Han Ancient Nation’s capital. There are still twenty-seven days from the time of this recording. I’ve given you enough time to prepare. Whether or not you want to come and save it is up to you.”
After saying that, Sha Guangyan smiled sinisterly and kicked one of the chains again.
The image disappeared, revealing the grave-looking Zheng Wenlong. He had cut off the photographic jade.
“Is there another section where they tortured Cloud?” Long Chen’s voice was hoa.r.s.e, and his gaze was as sharp as a blade. It was a bit frightening.
Zheng Wenlong was silent.
Long Chen nodded. “Good. I always felt like I was good at courting death, but it seems they’re not willing to concede defeat to me. I know what I have to do.”
“This is a sure death trap,” said Zheng Wenlong.
“I have no choice.”
Zheng Wenlong was silent for a moment. “If you need any help, just ask.”
Long Chen’s rage softened slightly. Clearly, Zheng Wenlong was willing to use the Huayun Sect’s power to help him. But he shook his head. “You’re a businessman. It’s not good for you to partic.i.p.ate in this kind of struggle. You’d be ruining your own business. Just help me alert the Heaven Splitting battle Sect to prepare to support me. Let’s make this big.”
Long Chen left the Huayun auction house after that. He silently sat on the Heaven Flipping Seal as he rushed off. Suddenly, he had a thought, and an emerald leaf appeared in his hand.
The emerald leaf was the communication tool the Spirit World’s Life G.o.d Tree had given him. Mist flowed out of it, condensing into a figure.
