Chapter 1645: Catching One

Just as Long Chen rushed over to Tang Wan-er, he noticed that the invisible blades in this s.p.a.ce didn’t react to his presence.

“Long Chen, wait!” shouted Meng Qi suddenly. Long Chen immediately stopped. “Wan-er should be in the midst of an inheritance. Her soul is in a different world right now, so she can’t hear us. However, her wind soul mark has appeared on her forehead.”

Long Chen saw a mark on Tang Wan-er’s forehead, which represented her wind energy. Her soul was in a calm state. There wasn’t anything strange about her right now.

When she had coughed up blood, everyone’s nerves had tightened, resulting in Long Chen charging out. However, now he saw that her fresh blood was entering the sphere, almost like a seed germinating within it.

Seeing this, Long Chen relaxed. It had really been frightening just now.

“Long Chen, we’ll guard this place. You can find an opportunity somewhere else,” proposed Meng Qi.

“Me? I’m not good at finding opportunities, but I’m decent at s.n.a.t.c.hing them.” Long Chen shook his head. He would never have this kind of good luck, of that he was sure.

“You can’t put it that way. Although the Jade Lake Venerate’s main inheritance was the four kinds of elemental energy, there are others as well. Furthermore, you’re a flame cultivator, so you should have an affinity with the fire inheritance. With the four of us guarding Wan-er, no one can get close, so don’t worry,” said Meng Qi.

Long Chen hesitated. “I’m just worried about Di Xin and Shen Bijun. Shen Bijun is especially sinister and difficult to deal with. I don’t want you falling for one of her schemes.”

“Even if Shen Bijun comes, we have four people here. She won’t have an advantage,” said Meng Qi confidently.

“Just go. I’m here, and even if Shen Bijun comes, she won’t be able to harm any one of us. I’ll be the one killing her. Her zither music is ineffective against me,” said Liu Ruyan indifferently.

Liu Ruyan wasn’t a human. She was an Undying Willow, and her senses were different from humans. Shen Bijun’s music was truly unable to do anything to her.

“Alright, then I’ll go for a stroll. Be careful.” Long Chen nodded. Liu Ruyan’s promise was very relieving.

In truth, the one he was most worried about was Shen Bijun. She was too sinister. The most frightening thing wasn’t someone suicidal, but someone absolutely shameless. Those people were the most difficult to deal with.

However, Liu Ruyan’s power was the greatest amongst them, and with her undying body, she should be able to fight even one on one against Shen Bijun.

He exited the palace and looked around at the surrounding giant palaces. He felt himself to be an ant crawling around in an imperial palace.

He left a spiritual mark on this palace so that he could return as fast as possible if he needed to. He then went in a random direction. He knew that with his bad luck, rather than running into a lucky opportunity, he’d more likely run into a deathtrap. He was most interested in seeing if he could catch Di Xin and his group.

Those fellows were all Empyreans with great luck. Stalking them might get him some benefits.

The fact that Tang Wan-er had instantly found her inheritance made him sigh about how people really had different fates. He was someone whose opportunities had to be won through risking his life against other experts, and if he did manage to win it, it would become like a slippery loach in muddy water. Then if he did catch it still, it would become a viper and bite him.

That was why he didn’t dare to live off luck. He had to live off power and intelligence to s.n.a.t.c.h those opportunities out of adversity.

Long Chen was rus.h.i.+ng forward when one of the gates he had just pa.s.sed blew open. A figure flew out, his blood splattering.

This was a disciple from the Southern Xuan Region, a rank eight Celestial. As his body tumbled back, it actually split in two. He had been severed by some blade.

He was already dead, and his Yuan Spirit didn’t even manage to escape. His expression was one of terror as if he had run into something unbelievably terrifying right before his death.

Long Chen had looked through several palaces only to find nothing. Most likely, others had long since plundered them. Even if there had been treasures in them, they had long since been taken.

“There should be something here.” Long Chen was still in the midst of observing the corpse when another figure flew out of the palace. When Long Chen saw who it was, he was startled.

“w.a.n.g Shan?”

Long Chen immediately understood that this was a case of killing to s.n.a.t.c.h treasures. He checked the corpse again and saw that it was holding something in its hand.

It was a small jade tablet, and an ancient, desolate aura came from it. It most likely was no ordinary object.

Without another word, Long Chen took the jade tablet. w.a.n.g Shan, who had just charged out, jumped in surprise when he saw Long Chen. When he saw Long Chen take the jade tablet, his expression changed. He had killed this person specifically for the jade tablet.
