Huang Feiyang and the two major guardians of the Scarlet Blood Holy Sect, along with Li Yan and others, had all died. What remained here were only Long Chen, Wen Ya, and some girls from Yanluo Town.
At this moment, these girls had already recovered and were looking at Wen Ya with admiration, even with some affection, because it was Wen Ya who had saved them from those devils.
As for Long Chen, he had not shown his skills in front of the girls, so it was no wonder they did not pay much attention to him.
"Huang Feiyang doesn't know when he will return. It's already late, let's go back to Yanluo Town first."
At this moment, Wen Ya's brows were deeply furrowed. So much time had passed, and who knew what might have happened to Huang Feiyang. However, he could not leave here, and in this vast mountain, how could he find Huang Feiyang?
A large group of people went down the mountain.
Wen Ya walked alone at the front. The women, seeing that Long Chen was more approachable, quickly gathered around and asked, "Sir, are you... are you from the Lingwu Family?"
Long Chen, who had killed Huang Feiyang and successfully deceived Wen Ya, was feeling quite pleased. So when he saw the beauties surrounding him, he said proudly, "Of course, only our Lingwu Family could save you so easily!"
"Wow..."
Long Chen was young, and Wen Ya was not much older, fitting the image of the heroes in the girls' fantasies. After being saved, they were still a bit frightened, but they quickly recovered.
"The man in front, is he your senior brother? Was it him who saved us?"
"Your senior brother must be a super strong person from the Lingwu Family, right?"
In response to these questions, Long Chen said proudly, "Of course, Senior Brother Wen Ya is a well-known figure in our Lingwu Family. Many girls secretly admire him. If you also have this idea, you'd better act quickly!"
The girls were blushing and laughing at Long Chen's words.
Before they had walked halfway, Yan Beitian had already led a group of skilled people from Yanluo Town, searching anxiously in the mountains. When he saw Wen Ya and the group of girls, everyone first looked surprised, then cheered.
Yan Beitian immediately saw that his daughter was safe and sound. He led the way to kneel before Wen Ya, saying gratefully, "Today, the Lingwu Family has saved our Yanluo Town from a great disaster. Whether as the town leader or as a father, I am extremely grateful to the... two great lords!"
"Yes! Yes, if the lords have any orders, we will do our best to fulfill them, no matter the cost!"
Yan Beitian did not see Huang Feiyang but noticed Long Chen surrounded by the girls. He frowned slightly, and at this moment, Wen Ya had already coldly told him to get up.
"Sir, we have already prepared a grand banquet. We hope you will honor us with your presence..."
Huang Feiyang was nowhere to be found, and Wen Ya had no interest in attending any grand banquet. So he impatiently waved his hand and said, "You go back first. I have some matters to attend to. Cancel the grand banquet."
Wen Ya's firm words made the skilled people of Yanluo Town pause and look at each other. They did not understand why, after completing the task, Wen Ya's mood was still not good.
Wen Ya had not initially realized the importance of the matter, just thinking that Huang Feiyang, relying on the All-Heaven Life and Death Wheel, would surely return safely.
However, so much time had passed, and who knew what might have happened to Huang Feiyang. At this moment, he could not focus on Long Chen, as killing Long Chen was a small matter, but Huang Feiyang's life was a big matter.
Turning around, Wen Ya said coldly, "Long Chen, you stay in Yanluo Town and wait for me and Huang Feiyang to return. Then we will return to Yuanling City together!"
Long Chen quickly nodded.
Wen Ya looked at the young man for a while, seeing that he did not seem to care about Huang Feiyang's life or death. Long Chen was supposed to be like this, so he found no suspicious points.
After a few words, Wen Ya left the group and headed deeper into the mountains!
At this moment, Yan Beitian and the others were all looking at Long Chen. Seeing that Long Chen was calm and even in a good mood, Yan Beitian asked cautiously as they returned to Yanluo Town, "Sir, what happened to the other two lords?"
Long Chen answered according to the lie he had fabricated, "Earlier, Senior Brother Wen Ya went to save these girls, while I and Senior Brother Huang fought against two Dantian Realm guardians. However, those two guardians fled when they saw they could not defeat us. Senior Brother Huang chased after them and has not returned yet. We couldn't wait for him, so we had to come down the mountain first. Senior Brother Wen Ya is probably going back to look for him now!"
Yan Beitian and the others were enlightened. No wonder they didn't see Huang Feiyang earlier; it was for this reason.
The group headed down the mountain. The girls found their families and did not stay by Long Chen. Long Chen walked alone at the front, relieved to have dealt with Huang Feiyang, his rival.
"Next, I can focus on dealing with the Scarlet Blood Holy Sect. But I wonder if the lie I fabricated will pass when I return to the Lingwu Family?"
Thinking of the beautiful but crazy woman, Liu Lan, Long Chen was not very confident.
In the crowd, Yan Beitian was quietly observing this young man, his gaze filled with surprise and seriousness.
Earlier, in the town leader's residence, Yan Beitian had seen Huang Feiyang's oppression and killing intent towards Long Chen. He had also guessed that Huang Feiyang might take action against Long Chen while in the mountains.
However, the result was that Long Chen returned unharmed, while Huang Feiyang was missing?
Recalling what Long Chen had said, Wen Ya did not know what had happened between Long Chen and Huang Feiyang. This meant that whatever had happened, Long Chen could fabricate it himself.
Yan Beitian appeared simple, but he was old and experienced, a cunning old fox. What Wen Ya could not see, he might see.
"This young man is truly beyond my expectations. Huang Feiyang is probably in great danger."
Although he thought this, Yan Beitian would never say it. He knew who to be wary of and was not foolish enough to do anything to Long Chen.
"Daddy, why are you staring at this guy?"
Beside Yan Beitian, a beautiful girl around fourteen years old asked curiously.
Yan Beitian, looking at his beloved daughter who had been rescued, felt a mix of emotions. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Wan'er, he is a super genius. Do you believe it?"
This girl named Wan'er looked at Long Chen suspiciously and said, "I think the other senior brother was stronger. He was the one who saved us, and he was so cool. This one is just so-so. He seems to be very obedient to his senior brother, so I don't think he is that strong..."
Yan Beitian laughed.
"This young man has extraordinary talent, a ruthless personality, and knows how to hide himself. His future is boundless..."
Of course, Yan Beitian only thought this to himself. At first, he had been deceived by Long Chen's appearance, but now that he understood the real Long Chen, he felt a chill.
They quickly returned to the town leader's residence. Since Wen Ya had not returned, Yan Beitian did not hold a grand banquet. After warmly entertaining Long Chen, Long Chen found an excuse to leave.
The bodies of Huang Feiyang and others were still in his Qiankun Bag. If he did not dispose of them quickly, they would be a hot potato!
Long Chen acted very quickly. After leaving Yanluo Town, he found an uninhabited corner and burned Huang Feiyang and the others to ashes, completely erasing all traces.
"Huang Feiyang's Qiankun Bag was destroyed by my Heaven-Burning Devil Sun Fist, but the two major guardians' items were left behind, benefiting me, Long Chen."
Before buying the Spirit Fertilizing Fruit, Long Chen was already as poor as a church mouse, having only one divine jade. Now, what he needed most was divine jade.
Opening the Qiankun Bags of the two major guardians of the Scarlet Blood Holy Sect, Long Chen found a total of 135 divine jades. This was the most wealth he had ever obtained.
As for the Qiankun Bags, they contained some yellow-grade medicines and secret books, as well as some miscellaneous items that were useless to Long Chen. He emptied the Qiankun Bags and kept them for himself.
Although these items were not valuable to Dantian Realm martial artists, Long Chen had other uses for them.
"I'm sure Ling Qing will like this gift. Girls have many things, and it's really inconvenient without such a thing."
Back at the town leader's residence, Long Chen practiced in peace until late at night. Wen Ya finally returned, appearing in front of Long Chen with a look of anxiety and confusion. He coldly stared at Long Chen and said, "Long Chen, can you guarantee that what you said is true?"
Long Chen's eyes turned cold, and he said, "What do you mean? Do you suspect I am lying to you? How ridiculous. Do you really think I could kill Huang Feiyang and the two major guardians of the Scarlet Blood Holy Sect? You must be overestimating me, Long Chen."
Wen Ya knew this was impossible, but Huang Feiyang had indeed disappeared completely. He had searched the entire Yan Dong Mountain and found nothing. How could this be explained?
"Could he have been killed by the Scarlet Blood Holy Sect and then completely destroyed?"
Wen Ya guessed the destruction but not the person who did it.
He knew Long Chen's strength was only at the eighth level of the Dragon Vein Realm. If he could kill three Dantian Realm strong people, the sun would rise in the west.
"Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, the truth will come out when we return to the Lingwu Family. No one dares to lie to Lady Liu, the steward. If you lied to me, be prepared for punishment! In three days, if Huang Feiyang does not return, we will return to the Lingwu Family!"
With that, Wen Ya left.
His words made Long Chen somewhat nervous. Liu Lan was not someone he could defeat now, and following her orders was truly a challenge.
"What's there to fear about that woman? With two more Spirit Fertilizing Fruits, I can unleash all my strength and take her life. Humph!"
Liu Lan had once flirted with Long Chen, so Ling Xi hated her deeply.
"I only have enough divine jade to buy one more Spirit Fertilizing Fruit..."
Three days passed quickly. On this day, Long Chen and Wen Ya left Yanluo Town amidst the cheers of the townspeople and set off on the journey back to the Lingwu Family.
Long Chen did not know what storm was waiting for him.
