Chapter 1749: Crisis of the Devil Slaughter Rankings

When Long Chen returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect, he saw that the sect had been rebuilt . All the damage done by the Corrupt path’s sneak attack had been repaired .

Furthermore, the current Xuantian Dao Sect gave Long Chen a strange feeling . It was like it was a slumbering beast that could unleash terrifying power if awakened .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen!”

As soon as Long Chen arrived, the disciples guarding the gates bowed reverently .

Long Chen greeted those disciples and was just about to go to Crouching Dragon Mountain when Li Tianxuan’s voice rang out in his head . He wanted Long Chen to first go see him .

“You little fellow, how did you do this?” Li Tianxuan immediately pelted Long Chen with questions when he arrived .

“What are you talking about?” asked Long Chen .

“Don’t act dumb, when I went to the ancient races to save you, everything was already over . What I want to know is, how were you able to heavily injure a Netherpa.s.sage expert?” demanded Li Tianxuan . Even with his intelligence, he was unable to comprehend how Long Chen had been able to half destroy the ancient races in the face of a Netherpa.s.sage expert .

The news that Long Chen had slain Xiang Yunfei’s clone in the Eastern Xuan City and was being hunted down by a Netherpa.s.sage expert had quickly reached Li Tianxuan . At that time, he had been extremely worried for Long Chen .

Although Li Tianxuan knew that Long Chen was a Heaven-Defier and wouldn’t die at the hands of another person, there were no absolutes in this world . Who could guarantee that the Heavenly Daos wouldn’t use the hands of others to kill him?

By the time he received this news, Long Chen had already been being chased for a while . To catch up to them was not possible . So after thinking about it, Li Tianxuan had decided to bring the Xuantian Tower directly to the ancient races .

When the patriarch asked him why he was confident in going to the ancient races, Li Tianxuan explanation was the following: Long Chen could not defeat a Netherpa.s.sage expert, so he had only two options . One was to return to the Xuantian Dao Sect, leaving that expert unable to do anything to him .

The more brazen option was to go to the ancient races’ home and make it so the Netherpa.s.sage expert had to be worried about hitting his own people . Then, it would be easier for Long Chen to survive and cause trouble there .

The first option was the safest, but Li Tianxuan was profoundly aware of Long Chen’s character . With his temper, he would definitely make sure to launch a vicious counterattack on whoever was hunting him .

So Li Tianxuan had been confident that Long Chen would go to the territory of the ancient races and make a huge ruckus . That Netherpa.s.sage expert would be forced to hold back, giving them time to go save him .

Li Tianxuan’s intelligence had accurately predicted Long Chen’s thoughts and actions . The only area his prediction had failed was the conclusion of the events . That was because the conclusion was absolutely outrageous .

Long Chen laughed and waved his hand . He brought out the corpse of the Sword Spine Armor Dragon . This place was the Xuantian Tower’s s.p.a.ce, and the Xuantian Tower could easily control the room to fit a giant mountain .

Li Tianxuan and the patriarch both jumped in shock . “A Sword Spine Armor Dragon!”

Long Chen gave a simple explanation of how he had encountered and subdued the Sword Spine Armor Dragon, however, he didn’t mention the original devil race .

“No wonder . The Seven Star Dragon Tortoise is known to have an unrivaled defense, but their offensive power isn’t very great . As for the Sword Spine Armor Dragon, it is famed for being a perfect punching bag with monstrous defense . When defense is up against defense, it becomes a battle of attrition . ” Li Tianxuan finally understood how the ancient races had been half destroyed .

“Xuan Master, are there any movements on the Martial Heaven Continent?” Long Chen was worried about Li Tianxuan pressing him for details . Then he might have to tell the dishonorable story of his time as a bandit . So he immediately changed the subject .

“There are many movements lately, but it’s the matter of the Devil Slaughter Rankings that is the greatest . The images of you and Guo Ran fighting the devil creatures have been publicly released . Countless experts are saying that the two of you cheated, and that you didn’t rely on your personal power, so your rankings should be canceled,” sighed Li Tianxuan .

In the end, there were still some traitors in the Xuantian Dao Sect . Of the one hundred and eighty thousand disciples that had partic.i.p.ated in the battle of the Devil Abyss, less than eighty thousand had returned . But some of those people had betrayed the sect .

The images of Guo Ran unleas.h.i.+ng black water had been publicly released, and people said that Guo Ran was relying on nothing more than a cheat . His own power was garbage, and he wasn’t qualified to enter the top ten .

As for Long Chen taking first place, it had been done with the help of a mysterious expert from the original devil race . Although his final attack had been truly stunning, it had only had such great effect because those Life Star level devil creatures had been unable to defend . It didn’t prove that Long Chen really had the ability to kill them all, so it was also cheating .
