When Long Chen had just put away the bodies of Huang Feiyang and the two great protectors of the Chixue Holy Sect, and tidied up the scene a bit, Wen Ya arrived with a dark expression.
Seeing the mess and only Long Chen present, Wen Ya immediately sensed something was wrong. He stared at Long Chen coldly and asked, "Where is Huang Feiyang?"
Long Chen acted as if it had nothing to do with him and said, "Those two guys couldn't beat Huang Feiyang, so they fled. Huang Feiyang just chased after them. You're a bit late."
Wen Ya frowned, his gaze still dark as he looked at Long Chen.
"Did he use a scheme to have them kill Long Chen, and now it has failed? But given Huang Feiyang's character, if his target is Long Chen, why would he easily chase after them? Could something unexpected have happened?"
Wen Ya suspiciously surveyed the surroundings and said coldly, "Why is everything in such a mess here, and there's even a smell of fire? I felt a big commotion earlier, but now only you are here. What exactly happened?"
No matter how hard Wen Ya thought, he couldn't imagine that Long Chen had killed them and put them in his Qiankun Bag.
At this moment, Wen Ya saw Li Yan, and his gaze immediately turned cold. He walked towards Li Yan step by step and said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly happened here? If you don't want to die, better tell the truth!"
Long Chen also looked at Li Yan, smiling faintly. His eyes seemed harmless, but Li Yan knew that if he acted, he would be a ruthless killer.
Seeing Wen Ya's cold expression and Long Chen's calm gaze, Li Yan made a quick decision. He immediately put on a frightened look and said, "R... Report to the lord, the previous lord was too powerful, our two protectors couldn't defeat him, so they fled. The lord hurriedly chased after them!"
Li Yan's story matched Long Chen's, which made Wen Ya frown even deeper.
By now, he believed their story, but he was very puzzled by the outcome.
"I wonder what Huang Feiyang is up to. He said he wanted to kill Long Chen, but he chased after them himself. It doesn't make sense..."
"Wen Senior Brother, should we chase after them?"
Long Chen asked at this moment.
Wen Ya carefully examined Long Chen, but he couldn't find any flaws.
"Huang Feiyang's target is Long Chen. I'll just keep an eye on him here. With the power of the Zhetian Shengsi Wheel, he shouldn't be in any danger."
Thinking this, Wen Ya shook his head and said, "No need to chase. Follow me to rescue those girls. As for this person, kill him..."
Hearing that Wen Ya wanted to kill him, Li Yan quickly looked at Long Chen. Long Chen had saved him from Huang Feiyang, and indeed, Long Chen boldly said, "Wen Senior Brother, they are from the Chixue Holy Sect. I have a grudge against them. If we leave one alive, we can ask about the Chixue Holy Sect. I hope you'll give me a chance!"
"Chixue Holy Sect?"
Wen Ya hadn't heard of it, but since Long Chen had said so much, he wouldn't make things difficult for him over a minor character.
The main person who wanted to deal with Long Chen was Huang Feiyang, and since Huang Feiyang wasn't here, Wen Ya didn't know how to make decisions for him. He just needed to keep an eye on Long Chen and not worry about the rest.
"Follow me."
Saying this casually, Wen Ya headed inside. He had just dealt with the minor henchmen and hadn't had time to rescue the girls yet. Since Huang Feiyang hadn't returned, he decided to rescue the girls first and complete the mission.
Seeing Long Chen follow Wen Ya, Li Yan quickly stood up, looking at Long Chen with fear and timidly followed behind him.
"I'll ask you some questions, answer honestly."
Li Yan quickly replied, "Yes, I understand!"
Seeing that the boy was cooperative, Long Chen felt relieved. Originally, he trusted the information about the Chixue Holy Sect given by Liu Lan, but after this mission, he no longer trusted her.
Li Yan looked like a weakling, so Long Chen probed, "I'm looking for a protector of the Chixue Holy Sect named Xue Yuansi. Do you know his whereabouts?"
Long Chen's question was very clever. If the Chixue Holy Sect knew that the Yang family in Baiyang Town had killed Xue Yuansi, they wouldn't guess that Long Chen had any connection to the Yang family. If they didn't know, the truth wouldn't be revealed.
Sure enough, Li Yan said blankly, "Protector Xue Yuansi has been missing for over half a month. We don't know his whereabouts. What does the lord need him for?"
Long Chen smiled coldly and said, "I want to kill him."
After saying this, he continued, "One more question, why does the Chixue Holy Sect capture so many girls? What for?"
He vaguely felt that there must be another reason for such a large-scale operation.
From the true qi they cultivated, which carried a bloodline aura, Long Chen found it strange.
When asked this question, Li Yan's brows furrowed. He looked at Long Chen with difficulty, stammering and unable to speak.
"Do you want to die?"
Long Chen's voice was like a demonic sound in his ears, and Li Yan was immediately frightened. He quickly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk, but you have to promise to spare me!"
Long Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't break my promise to a weakling like you."
With Long Chen's assurance, Li Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Our sect leader has a unique method to cultivate true qi, which involves gathering the virgin blood of many girls to form a blood pool..."
"Our Chixue Holy Sect disciples can cultivate Blood Soul True Qi in the blood pool. Blood Soul True Qi is twice as powerful as ordinary true qi, a very powerful technique! The last blood pool has dried up, and the sect leader decided to hold a blood sacrifice ceremony to replenish it. That's why we came to capture the girls..."
After hearing this, Long Chen was silent for a long time.
Virgin blood, the blood of virgins. If they needed to form a blood pool large enough for the Chixue Holy Sect disciples to cultivate, they would need to kill thousands of girls...
Long Chen pursed his lips, thinking of the poor souls in the Jade Emerald Tower.
In the past, he had a few friends there. They were just unfortunate people who had fallen into that place, learning arts to barely make a living, but they never imagined they would die so tragically.
And it seemed that not only they had died so tragically.
After hearing this, Long Chen's breathing gradually became heavy.
Seeing Long Chen's reaction, Li Yan was terrified and asked, "Lord, have you finished asking? Can I go now?"
Long Chen finally moved. When he lifted his head, Li Yan was horrified to see that Long Chen's eyes were bloodshot.
"Have you ever bathed in the blood pool?"
Long Chen's indifferent gaze made Li Yan's face pale. He was about to argue, but Long Chen had already punched him in the forehead, instantly splattering his brain and sending him flying. He landed motionless on the ground!
"Damn it! Long Chen, you did well. Such evil people are insane, deserving of divine punishment! Eternal damnation!"
Hearing about the blood sacrifice ceremony, Ling Xi, as a girl, was even more furious than Long Chen!
Long Chen had never seen the usually kind and gentle Ling Xi so enraged!
"I never thought this world could have such dark corners. To increase their power, they harm others so cruelly. The leader and all the disciples of the Chixue Holy Sect should die!"
By the end, Ling Xi was sobbing. For someone who had grown up in happiness, it was unimaginable that such evil people could do such heinous deeds!
Although he had broken his promise by killing Li Yan, Long Chen felt no regret. Ling Xi was sad, and he was also very sad.
"I know, as long as I have enough power, I won't let such people and such forces exist in this world..."
With Long Chen's assurance, Ling Xi felt better and encouraged him, "Then you need to work hard. It's best to stop them before the blood sacrifice ceremony. If so many girls die, I won't forgive you!"
"I know what to do. Besides, if they know I killed their two protectors, even if I don't act, they will. Xia Xi, in that case, I have a blood feud with them!"
"That's good."
Earlier, when Long Chen was questioning Li Yan, Wen Ya was walking ahead and only vaguely heard that Long Chen was asking questions, so he didn't pay much attention. He didn't expect that in a few breaths, Li Yan would be splattered and flying out!
Looking back at Li Yan's tragic state, Wen Ya frowned deeply.
"Having finished questioning and seeing no more use, Long Chen actually killed to silence him? This ruthlessness, if Huang Feiyang doesn't kill him, with Long Chen's talent, Huang Feiyang won't have a good life. But where did he go at this critical moment?"
In a deep cave, Wen Ya rescued over a dozen girls who were crying and pale. Since the Chixue Holy Sect needed virgin blood, they hadn't been sexually assaulted.
When Li Yan first saw Long Chen, his eager look was probably because he had been around these girls he couldn't touch for too long, making him extremely frustrated.
Rescuing these girls completed the mission in Yanluo Town. However, it was strange that Huang Feiyang still hadn't returned. Wen Ya waited for a while, but as the sky grew dark, he decided to leave the mountain.
"He'll probably go straight to Yanluo Town when he returns. I wonder what unexpected event happened..."
