Chapter 116 - Dongfang Tianyu

In terms of cultivation, only a person in the Earthly Core Realm could make Long Chen as weary as he was. Being able to attain the Earthly Core Realm at his age meant he was the prodigy of prodigies.

He’d called himself “Brother Tianyu,” so he had to be Dongfang Tianyu, the one that Chu Yunyao had mentioned. He was a member of the Eastern Azure Dragon family, who were an inner family of the Lingwu family.

When these thoughts ran through Long Chen’s mind, he knew that all he could do in the face of a person with such high status was suppress. Suppress all emotion!

Just like on his first meeting with Huang Feiyang and Feng Wutian—only self-control could keep him alive.

Chu Yunyao was obviously Dongfang Tianyu’s romantic interest. Long Chen had chills knowing that if Dongfang Tianyu had heard what he just said, he would be dead by now.

When he first entered the Lingwu family, Gan Lin once told him that the four inner families were the true Lingwu family members. They were not people the outer families could afford to offend.

Although Long Chen was defiant, he had no choice but to admit that the Lingwu family was a gigantic organization. He was just an ant in the face of such a powerful entity, so he had no choice but to accept it all.

Therefore, he immediately transformed back into his clean, youthful human form.

Although he was more powerful post-transformation, he was also radiating killing intent. If it offended Dongfang Tianyu in any way, it would be the end of him. This is not the right time. I’ll just pretend to be weak for the moment.

When Chu Yunyao saw Dongfang Tianyu, she was overjoyed and chirped, “Brother Tianyu! How did you know I was here?”

“I heard from your father that you were participating in the Heavenly Martial Realm’s training event today, so I came. You outer families are ridiculous; isn’t everything fine as it is? Why must they have training exercises like this? What if you get hurt? Right, I saw that you weren’t happy just now. What happened?” Dongfang Tianyu gazed at Chu Yunyao with concern.

When she thought of Long Chen, a few tears appeared in her eyes, though only for a moment. She looked at Long Chen, then said demurely, “I’m fine, we were just competing for the Supreme Purity Sword in that Heart Eater’s body. I can’t blame them for trying to take it as well ...”

Dongfang Tianyu furrowed his brows. He turned and looked at Long Chen, asking coldly, “Is there someone brave enough to fight you? Does he not know of me, Dongfang Tianyu?” By now, he was already glaring at Long Chen with ice-cold killing intent in his eyes.

Long Chen explained hurriedly, “Miss Yunyao here wanted to experience true battle, so she requested that we fight for real. We would only dare fight her because we were obeying her orders! If not, why would we dare take anything from Miss Yunyao with you here?”

Staying alive was the top priority. He needed to pretend to be a kiss-ass now to keep himself alive. There would be future chances to take his revenge anyway, so Long Chen kept an open mind even if it disgusted other people.

“Is that so?”

Dongfang Tianyu nodded, satisfied with Long Chen’s explanation.

The rest of the crowd was speechless at the speed at which Long Chen changed his attitude. Chu Yunyao’s intention was to kill Long Chen indirectly by using Dongfang Tianyu. However, Long Chen’s explanation had ruined all her plans.

If she pressed on and tried to stubbornly prove that Long Chen was lying, she would risk making Dongfang Tianyu think she was manipulative and vengeful. That was why she gritted her teeth and decided to let Long Chen go. You bastard! As long as you’re in the Lingwu family, I will find a way to kill you! No one who goes against me gets to live!

By now, Dongfang Tianyu had already killed the Heart Eater. He retrieved a Universe Pouch from its body, then he took out a pale-green longsword and gave it to Chu Yunyao, mumbling, “The Supreme Purity Sword isn’t bad at all! Take it back with you. Once you reach the Earthly Core Realm, I can ask my father for something else for you.”

“Thank you, Brother Tianyu!”

Chu Yunyao happily took the Supreme Purity Sword, the object of her dreams, in her hand. Then she put it away in her Universe Pouch. She secretly glared at that useless man, Long Chen, with contempt. When she saw that Long Chen didn’t react, still maintaining his polite expression, she felt like puking. Finally, she refocused her attention on Dongfang Tianyu. “Brother Tianyu, now that I’ve gotten the Supreme Clarity Sword, the training exercise has ended. Shall we leave?”

“That’s perfect! There’s a beautiful valley not far from Yuanling City with beautiful scenery and full of wildflowers. I was just thinking of taking you there to admire them.”

They chatted amongst themselves, not even looking at the rest, and he led her out of the Heavenly Martial Realm to the aforementioned valley.

Long Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief, though everyone looked at him strangely.

They were very impressed at first, but when they saw that he had turned into a coward the moment he encountered a strong opponent, they were disgusted. “He’s a coward without a backbone. We’re embarrassed to be on the same team as him.”

The training event in Heavenly Martial Realm had officially ended. Chu Yunyao had obtained the Supreme Clarity Sword without any effort at all; she was the final winner of the day.

Everyone accepted this fate and left the scene.

Seeing as the event had ended and Feng Wutian was still unconscious and severely injured, Liu Ling and the rest quickly left to bring him back to Turquoise Sun Hall so he could receive adequate treatment.

Very soon, Long Chen was the only remaining person. Next to him was the Heart Eater’s carcass.

Long Chen was frustrated. It put in so much effort, yet in the end, that girl still got the Supreme Clarity Sword anyway. Chu Yunyao, you may want to kill me, but it won’t be easy. One day, I’ll make you regret it. Also, Dongfang Tianyu ...

The person who truly stressed him out was Dongfang Tianyu.

This was his first time witnessing the terrifying power of an inner family member. He knew that despite beating Feng Wutian, he was still at the bottom of this massive hierarchical system. At least I still have the Heart Eater’s carcass. It counts as my reward for the day’s hard work.

Chu Yunyao hadn’t taken the carcass away, and since Long Chen was still standing there, the others did not dare take it themselves.

Long Chen had just used the Blood Transmutation on the Flaming Golden Lion and attained the mid Human Core Realm, so he was not in a hurry. He took out his Universe Pouch and put the Heart Eater in it.

When he was about to leave the Heavenly Martial Realm, he noticed a curvy, beautiful lady. Isn’t that Administrator Liu?

Liu Ling had left in a hurry to look for her, so he hadn’t expected her to be here.

The fact that she arrived so quickly meant that Liu Lan had been watching the event for a long time. Long Chen guessed that she had seen everything he’d done. Now, there was no fake seductiveness or deep contempt in her eyes, only calm.

“So? Have you finally fallen for my extreme handsomeness?” asked Long Chen shamelessly, walking up to her as he admired her curves.

She’d teased him twice already when he was pretending to be an innocent gentleman. Now, he finally got the chance for retaliation.

But the beautiful lady wasn’t mad. She gave a small smile, then strode towards the exit of the Heavenly Martial Realm, saying, “I have known for a long time that you’re a lecher. All I did was to deliberately force you to show your true self. I didn’t expect to fail last time, though now you have revealed yourself.”

Initially, Liu Lan thought Long Chen would be no match for Feng Wutian, but he had proven himself after defeating Feng Wutian. Long Chen knew that she was shocked by his performance and was just pretending to be calm.

At least she no longer behaved as if she was certain that he was going to die. Therefore, he knew that he had defeated at least a part of this woman.

They walked together, chatting like they had been friends for many years. “To be honest, I had indeed underestimated your strength before this. But you must not overestimate yourself either. I’m sure you felt something in the depths of your heart when you saw Dongfang Tianyu.”

Long Chen indeed felt the weight on his chest when he saw Dongfang Tianyu. The memory of him pretending to be a kiss-ass for the man was branded in his mind.

“Also, based on your performance just now, I should give you a new potential value,” she said, looking amused.

“How much?”

“Four stars.”

He nodded. “Still not five stars? How many people have five stars in the Turquoise family?”

She smiled in exasperation. “Just one. There’s no need for you to know who it is. Long Chen, now that you have attained four stars, the Lingwu family can actually help you do one thing. Initially, I said we could help you deal with the Blood Saints, but that was vetoed by the Sect Elder, unfortunately. It was then I learned the identity of the Blood Saints’ Great Priest.”

Long Chen furrowed his brows deeply. “Who is it?”

She smiled bitterly, shaking her head. “I didn’t know it before this either, because his identity is kept hidden, so the average person doesn’t know this. You know of Yuandi City’s Beast Soul Palace, right?”

Was there a relationship between the Blood Saints and Yuandi City? Long Chen had a bad feeling. “Yuandi City is a faction whose power is almost equivalent to Lingwu City.”

She said, “The most powerful leader of the Beast Soul Palace is known as Emperor Yuan, and he has many progenies. The Great Priest of the Blood Saints is one of his grandsons!”
