Chapter 1736: Ancestral Blood Arrow

There were only a few dozen tables at the highest floor of the restaurant . They all had windows beside them so the customers could experience the beautiful sight of Eastern Xuan City .

The number of seats on the highest floor was low, but since it was extremely expensive, the seats weren’t completely full . Amongst the customers were two large men with swords on their backs . They were chatting arrogantly, and the others ignored them .

However, when a black-robed man walked up the stairs, everyone’s expressions changed . Time seemed to stand still in that moment . The only thing they could hear was their own heartbeat .

“Long… Chen . ”

Everyone gulped . They actually didn’t say this name out loud as they were struck dumb . However, this terrifying name echoed in the deepest depths of their hearts .

“In your opinion, I, Long Chen, am what? I really want to know . ”

Long Chen’s gaze swept through the people here . The majority of these people came from other regions, and he could tell this from their robes .

The situation was clear . Since he hadn’t come out to fight in a long time, the other side was helpless to do anything other than slander him, using the most shameless yet also the most effective method to force him to appear .

Now, he had appeared . Seeing their astonished expressions, Long Chen could tell the situation .

The two people talking saw Long Chen smiling faintly as he walked slowly toward them . One of them suddenly hurled their table at Long Chen . The two of them instantly fled for the streets . The first one was quite crafty and knew that experts like Long Chen cared about status . They wouldn’t let themselves get soaked in the wine and food on the table .

“You didn’t even answer me before leaving . Don’t you think that’s a bit rude? Get back here . ”

The first rank nine Celestial only saw his vision darken for a moment before a large hand slapped across his face, blowing him back into the restaurant .

Long Chen was standing in the air, his hand raised . A lightning arrow shot out, killing the other rank nine Celestial who had fled in the other direction . He instantly exploded into dust .

“Heavens, Long Chen really appeared!”

The entire Eastern Xuan City was shaken . Countless experts began flying over from every direction .

“Hahaha, I’ve long since said that Long Chen is the strongest expert of our Eastern Xuan Region . There’s no one he’s afraid of! Nice, it’ll count as payment for cutting off my arm . ” In the distance, a one-armed man laughed delightedly .

Long Chen ignored what was happening outside . He slowly walked up to the rank nine Celestial whose head was half destroyed .

This was a serious injury . His soul was shaken, and his Yuan Spirit had been heavily injured . He was on the verge of death .

“My cultivation base grew too quickly . I can’t even control my own power . ”

Long Chen had been planning on learning a few things from this person’s mouth, but that wasn’t going to work now . He decided to directly point a finger at that person’s head, killing him instantly .

“So that’s the case . ”

Long Chen finished his soulsearch and learned what was going on .

Coincidentally, someone had arrived as soon as Long Chen had left the Eastern Xuan City to go to the Skysc.r.a.ping World .

That person was eighth on the Devil Slaughter Rankings, Xiang Yunfei . He was an expert from the ancient races .

Xiang Yunfei did not directly go to the Xuantian Dao Sect for his challenge . Instead, he made a large announcement in Eastern Xuan City and then built a martial stage, saying that Long Chen’s reputation was undeserved, and he wanted a real fight against Long Chen to expose his inferiority .

At that time, Long Chen had arrived in the Skysc.r.a.ping World and had no knowledge of the challenge, so he naturally hadn’t come over .

However, in the Martial Heaven Continent, the news of Xiang Yunfei’s challenge had long since spread throughout all the various regions . Experts from all over had come over in antic.i.p.ation for this battle .

Unfortunately, Long Chen refused to reveal himself, and those experts gradually lost patience . Some became jittery and began saying that Long Chen had to have cheated his way to his current position, which was why he didn’t dare to have a real fight .

In Eastern Xuan City, quite a few people supported Long Chen . After all, Long Chen was their top expert in the junior generation in the Eastern Xuan Region . So there were quite a few arguments and lots of cursing between the two sides, eventually resulting in conflict and deaths .

As the conflict grew, this matter ended up even disturbing Qu Jianying . She had directly made an order that experts within Eastern Xuan City were not allowed to fight with martial power, or they would be given the death sentence .

The experts from the other regions were cowed and stopped fighting . Qu Jianying’s power and status were not unearned . If they offended her, they really would lose their lives .

Qu Jianying’s orders were clearly to protect the Eastern Xuan Region’s disciples . That was because the Eastern Xuan Region’s top geniuses were all gathered in the Xuantian Dao Sect .
