I've repaid your kindness!
The Black Dragon Empire's capital. Outside the city walls, there were tens of thousands of corpses. A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it a nauseating smell of blood.
Above the city walls.
Qin Feng's face was twisted. He rushed to the front of the five Return to Void Stage demon-masked figures and grabbed one of them by the collar. He yelled crazily, "I am the Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire. Kill this person, them, and everyone else here today!"
Qin Feng was in a state of madness. He couldn't believe that the five of them would choose to stop.
Long Chen, a Soul Transformation Stage cultivator, actually defeated five Return to Void Stage cultivators by himself …
The five of them looked at Qin Feng. They shook their heads and sighed. With a slight movement of their divine senses, they forcibly pushed him away.
Then, the five of them said to Long Chen in a deep voice, "Remember what you said today. If you want to touch the Black Dragon Empire, the five of us will fight you to the death even if we have to give up our lives!"
After the five of them finished speaking, they looked deeply at Qin Lie. Then, their figures moved and flew away, disappearing into the darkness.
Qin Feng staggered back dozens of steps and stood at the edge of the city walls. Looking down at the tens of thousands of people who died under the heavy crossbows, he suddenly laughed loudly.
Looking at Long Chen and Qin Lie, he said in a hoarse voice, "I have lost this battle! But so what? Soon, you will come back to accompany me … That old bastard Qing Yun Zi will definitely not let you go! "
Saying this, Qin Feng actually flipped over and fell down the city walls. "I refuse to accept this!"
A violent sound rang out. Qin Feng died just like that. He didn't know why he lost at the moment of his death. Originally, when he became Qing Yun Zi's disciple, he felt that the position of Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire was his.
But then, a small character from the Three Cities Tournament in Iron Mountain City turned the situation around step by step by himself …
Long Chen watched as Qin Feng died. The spiritual energy around his body receded like a receding tide. His hair slowly turned white, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Liu Cang Lan swiftly charged over when he saw this scene. He supported Long Chen before placing his hands on Long Chen's arms. He cried out involuntarily, "You, what secret technique did you use to actually cause you to lose almost 30% of your vitality!"
Long Chen shook his head without saying a word. Liu Cang Lan saw that he didn't say anything, so he stomped his foot and wanted to bring him back to the Pill Pagoda immediately.
However, after taking a few steps, Long Chen suddenly stopped and looked at Qin Lie from afar.
Qin Lie also stared at Long Chen. In the end, he bowed deeply and said in a deep voice, "Qin Lie will never forget Mister's kindness. As long as the Black Dragon Empire exists, the Long Family of Iron Mountain City will never fall!"
Long Chen dragged his weak body and turned around. He didn't accept Qin Lie's bow. His breathing was weak as he stared at Qin Lie and said slowly, "I have repaid your kindness … Karma goes back and forth. You and I no longer owe each other anything. You don't have to do this!"
After saying these words, Long Chen followed Liu Cang Lan and headed toward the Pill Pagoda.
Countless Pill Pagoda elders followed closely behind, ready for battle.
Yan Li and Liu Yiyi's faces were filled with worry …
Qin Lie stood in place blankly. He still didn't know what kind of kindness he had done Long Chen to make him an enemy of the entire Black Dragon Empire. He didn't even hesitate to make an enemy of the Divine Blade Sect's Elder Yun Zi.
Qin Lie laughed bitterly and took a deep breath. He knew that he was now the true monarch of the Black Dragon Empire!
Because of Long Chen's existence …
"Men, pass down the order. From today onwards, Iron Mountain Village's Long Family will be conferred as a Royal Family with a different surname. Generations of meritorious service, they can establish a private army of a hundred thousand. They will be allocated according to the Royal Family's resource allocation method!"
"Pass down the order. The Empire's army is to be ready for battle. Guard against other countries taking advantage of the situation!"
"Pass down the order. Lock down the entire Imperial City …"
Qin Lie displayed unprecedented boldness as he passed down the orders one after another.
On the other side, inside the Pill Pagoda.
Under Long Chen's orders, Liu Cang Lan began to collect all kinds of spirit herbs. Long Chen had paid a great price to be able to obtain a complete victory against five great Origin Return Realm experts.
After Long Chen consumed the elixir, he immediately went into seclusion to heal his injuries. With the help of the Pill Pagoda, healing elixirs were continuously sent into the secret room.
In just three days, Long Chen discovered another shocking fact. That was his body's recovery ability. The wound on his chest that was so deep that his bones could be seen had actually disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, he discovered that the Dragon Essence in his Sea of Qi had an almost terrifying recovery ability.
However, when Long Chen sensed the Dragon Essence in his Dantian, he knew that this represented something else.
The Dragon Essence could far surpass the spirit energy contained in an ordinary person's Sea of Qi. However, if he wanted to condense a Golden Core, he would need an even more boundless spirit energy to support it.
Although the Sea of Qi of a hundred thousand miles gave him an almost invincible strength in the Soul Transformation Realm, it also increased the difficulty of condensing the Dragon Essence by countless times …
"Right now, relying solely on the resources given by the five great sects is not enough to allow me to continue improving my strength. If I want to break through again, I must join the five great sects!" Long Chen muttered to himself.
The Nine Great Empires had very little resources. The main sources were basically given by the five great sects. Long Chen only had a Sea of Qi of a hundred thousand miles. If he wanted to break through, he was afraid that even if he seized all the resources of the Nine Great Empires, it would take him three years or even longer to step into the Origin Return Realm.
Long Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. After recuperating for a few days, he left the secret room.
At this moment, although he looked fine on the surface, his strength was actually less than a third of his original strength. Especially after using that secret technique, he had lost his vitality. He could only wait for Liu Cang Lan to find specific spirit herbs and use them to recover.
However, when he came out of seclusion, more and more alchemists in the Pill Pagoda came to consult him in an endless stream.
In particular, many nobles of the Black Dragon Empire came one after another.
The number of spirit herbs that were delivered to him every day was innumerable …
Long Chen did not avoid them and accepted them one by one. This action made the five Origin Return Realm experts of the Black Dragon Empire feel a lot more at ease.
…
On the other side, the news of the replacement of the Black Dragon Empire's monarch had also spread among the Nine Great Empires. Even the deaths of people in the Black Dragon Empire were known to everyone.
On one hand, he blocked the news, and on the other hand, he spread many different versions of rumors so that the various countries did not have a clear understanding of what had happened that day.
Therefore, after a short period of restlessness, the various countries all regained their calm. The armies at the borders of the Black Dragon Empire also gradually returned to their normal state.
Originally, the replacement of a monarch was enough to make the various countries move. However, the Immortal Path was about to open, and the envoys of the five great sects were about to arrive. This made this matter seem less important than imagined.
