Chapter 7175 A Mysterious Fellow

The sweeping elder nodded at Long Chen’s response. “It seems you’ve been planning for everything!”

Long Chen smiled. “Other than your appearance, everything else was within expectations. But can I ask you one question? Are you able to handle Qi Yunao?”

Long Chen knew that both of them had only come in the form of avatars. These were not their true bodies. However, at their level, they were able to use an avatar to unleash the power of their true body. That was why Qi Yunao was willing to take so many risks just to force the sweeping elder out; it was all to get this answer.

“I was able to see through him, but he cannot see through me!”

The sweeping elder’s response immediately gave Long Chen a boost of confidence. In that case, he could carry out his plans even faster.

The sweeping elder then added, “However, I intentionally let him see a level of power that should make him wary. He will most likely quickly recruit allies to strengthen his side. In other words, he will not be facing the High Firmament Academy directly again for the short term, but it will not be long before he tries to test us out again. While it can be said that our first academy won this time, it can be said that the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect hasn’t lost either. At best, it can be considered even.”

Long Chen nodded. It was true that the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect had basically not suffered any losses. It was the Immortal Ascension Gate and the others that had been devastated. Furthermore, these forces were now so badly crippled that if they wanted to survive, they would have to find a backer. Naturally the best backer to save them from this crisis was the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect.

“The Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect didn’t suffer any losses in this battle, and they’ve even obtained a pack of loyal dogs. It seems that they are the ones who benefited the most from this battle. Even we were used!” The palace master grimaced irritably.

“Palace master, don’t worry. This matter isn’t over. I can take anything except a loss!” Long Chen grinned.

The palace master’s anger faded a bit after hearing that.

“Alright, I leave this place to you. I’m going back!”

With that, he disappeared.

Long Chen looked down at the ground. There were still two giant curse vortices spinning there. Cang Lu and the Two-Face Ghost Wolf were absorbing them, and they were getting close to finishing.

“Boss, Li Yifu ran off, but his disciples must still be in the core of the Immortal Ascension Gate. I saw some fool stick his head out just now. Do you want to...?” At this time, Long Ziwei ran over excitedly.

Li Yifu had managed to protect the core of the Immortal Ascension Gate. There were quite a few people hidden inside. Someone had used divine sense to scan the surroundings furtively just now, only for Long Ziwei to notice it.

Long Ziwei’s meaning was very clear. Since things had reached this point, they might as well destroy the Immortal Ascension Gate. This world would no longer have the Immortal Ascension Gate in the future.

However, shockingly, Long Chen shook his head and patted Long Ziwei’s shoulder. “As a fellow human, I’d say it’s best not to push people too far. If you kill them, you won’t get to see them in the future!”

“What...?”

Long Ziwei stared at Long Chen in shock. This didn’t seem to be his boss’s style!

Just then, the curse vortices were absorbed. There was no longer any curse energy left. Cang Lu and the Two-Face Ghost Wolf were called over by Long Chen and Miao Yin.

“Let’s go!”

Long Chen waved his hand. Their group grandly returned to the High Firmament Academy. They didn’t use the battleship this time, and they didn’t travel quickly either. It felt as if they were showing off their glory beneath the brilliant sun.

Actually, Miao Yin was pretty much out of resources that could power her Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon battleship. If they were to ride it back, it probably wouldn’t last for long, and if it came to a stop halfway back, wouldn’t that be awkward? Thus, it was better to just fly back on their own.

Once Long Chen and the others left, the spectators eyed the wreckage that was the Immortal Ascension Gate. Explosive news quickly spread through the world. Long Chen, with the aid of two women, had managed to beat a half-step Heavenly Sovereign! At the same time, the appearance of two overlords from the primal chaos era, the sweeping elder and Qi Yunao, also caused massive waves.

Forces with deep foundations and a long history were at least aware that the sweeping elder existed, although nobody was sure how strong he was. But among those currently in the spotlight, there were actually many who were completely unaware that an old man in the High Firmament Academy was capable of competing with a Heavenly Sovereign from the primal chaos era.

Those forces that had offended and even attacked the High Firmament Academy in the past were all terrified by this news. If the High Firmament Academy decided to get revenge on them, then they would be instantly wiped out. After all, none of them were capable of stopping a Heavenly Sovereign.

Some of them hastily sent emissaries with immense gifts to the High Firmament Academy, asking to let bygones be bygones. After all, the High Firmament Academy was a behemoth that they could not possibly deal with. Reconciling as fast as possible was their best option. Some others had deep grudges with the High Firmament Academy and knew that there was no chance of reconciliation, so they quickly looked for someone capable of backing them. As for those who couldn’t find a backer, they directly packed up and fled for their lives. Although dissolving a long-standing organization was a bit regretful, it was better than having the enemy come to their door and wipe them out.

To sum up, this battle caused massive waves that affected not only the human race, but also the other races. Long Chen’s name was once more brought to the forefront in the discussions between major forces.

...

“What do you think?”

Qi Yunao watched as Long Chen and the others left, then turned to a young man standing beside him.

This young man appeared to be in his twenties. His skin was pale and fair, while his eyes were as deep as the sea; surprisingly, he had double pupils.[1]

The young man said, “He is very strong. Even in the primal chaos era, he would be considered to be at the peak. But the fact that he did not notice me watching signifies that his comprehension of the Dao is inferior to mine.”

His voice was very light, but there was absolute confidence in it. Even someone as incredible as Long Chen could not be considered a threat to him.

Qi Yunao said, “You’ve suppressed your realm to the sixth Heavenstage, but he didn’t sense you. That means he is still within the realm of ‘laws,’ not the ‘Dao.’ That said, even if his comprehension of the Dao is inferior to yours, you cannot be careless. After all, he only used the power of the violet blood race and the Jiuli race in this battle. He also has dragon blood, and he is also a nine star heir. Astral energy should be his greatest strength.”

“Yes, master. I will not be careless. But when will you allow me to actually make a move?” asked the young man.

“In theory, as a peak Sovereign Lord, now should be your most opportune moment to kill him. But killing him directly wouldn’t bring you any benefits, and it might even start a war with the High Firmament Academy. That old fellow has lived for so long and he has managed to preserve his Heavenly Sovereign source after the erosion of so many years, so you can imagine he is no ordinary man. If I were to fight him, I can’t guarantee I would win. Even if I do win, it’ll cost me more than I can afford to pay. That’s why we must wait for our opportunity!” said Qi Yunao.

The young man frowned slightly, but then nodded. “Alright. Then I’ll let him live a bit longer. He’s very arrogant. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of expression he’ll have when I crush him under my foot.”

“Let’s go. It’s time to train the dogs!”

Qi Yunao brought that mysterious young man away.

Once the two vanished, a mass of tiny colored glass leaves transformed into a streak of light that also vanished...
