Volume 4 Chapter 189 The City of Returning to Heaven
As the sky darkened and approached nightfall, the multicolored floating lotus carrying Long Chen and the white fox appeared above the Qingbo River and quietly landed on the riverbank.
Long Chen searched for the location of the first time along the river bank according to the memory of the time, and finally arrived at the destination before nightfall, and after confirming that there was no one around, he put the white fox into the beast control nine-eyed sword, took out a pearl from the hiding bag, took a deep breath, and "boom-" into the turbid river water.
The teleportation stone platform leading to the ground staircase is hidden in the depths of a tunnel gushing out of the earth spring at a depth of about forty meters at the bottom of the Qingbo River, even if the river is dry to the bottom, I am afraid no one would have thought that there is a teleportation stone platform hidden underneath.
After diving into the bottom of the river and finding the entrance to the earth spring, Long Chen went straight into a tunnel with a diameter of less than half a meter, swam forward for about twenty meters, and came to the cave where the teleportation stone platform was located.
With the sound of "buzzing" after the teleportation stone platform was activated, Long Chen's figure gradually blurred until it disappeared.
In the next moment, Long Chen's figure had already appeared in the second weight of the Void Breaking Vientiane Thousand Rota Tower.
Long Chen released the white fox from the Nine Eyes of the Beast Controlling Beast, and then left the Vientiane Thousand Rota Pagoda without stopping, and quickly went to the Phoenix Chick Rotten Wood Pavilion, and used the token to open some prohibitions in the ground level shooting field.
After coming out of the Phoenix Chick Rotten Wood Pavilion, the white fox who was following Long Chen towards the Nine Clouds and Birds Pavilion asked as he ran, "Why don't you just use the teleportation stone platform to go to Heavenly City?"
Long Chen immediately replied: "As an external member of the Ning family, if I don't pass through the teleportation stone platform of the Tianhai Floating Island, I suddenly appear in the Heavenly City, which will inevitably make people suspicious, so it's better to be careful." β
The white fox blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "So, after you entered the Heavenly City, someone from the Ning family also monitored you?"
"It's just normal. β
Long Chen said lightly: "I am not an ordinary external member, the final result of this Heavenly City Xuandou Conference must be related to some important interests of the six major families, of course they must ensure the basic loyalty of every external member under their command, and avoid the situation that someone is secretly bought by other families, so as long as I appear on Tianhai Floating Island, I will inevitably be targeted by the Ning family until I enter the scope of Ning Family City." β
The white fox said softly: "Your mother and sister both live in the Ning family's city, and the Ning family should be very relieved of you." β
"Rest assured, rest assured, what should be done, the Ning family will still do it, and if I am Ning Changde, the same will be true. β
Long Chen smiled and added: "Moreover, other families will definitely try their best to do that kind of thing to secretly buy people's hearts, even if the Ning family doesn't stare at me, there will be people in other families staring at me, at least until the end of this Xuandou Conference in Heavenly City, I don't dare to use the teleportation stone formation in the Vientiane Thousand Luo Pagoda at will." β
In fact, Long Chen was able to enter and leave the Heavenly City at will after serving as an external member of the Ning family, partly because his mother and sister lived in the Ning Family City, but the main reason was the secret guarantee of Puyang Mu and others, otherwise, before the Xuan Dou Conference was held, he would not want to leave the scope of the Ning Family City at all.
After arriving at the Nine Clouds Bird Pavilion, Long Chen did not linger any longer, but directly used the teleportation stone platform at the top of the tower to return to the Grass Mountain area of the Misty Continent, and drove the Colorful Floating Lotus to the boundless sea area east of the Sea Continent, and the time left was running out, just to raise the newly ingested Purple Cloud Breaking Dome and Shadow Fire Hundred Sparrow Attack to the ground level, I am afraid it would take at least two months.
On the way to the boundless sea, the white fox squatting on the colorful floating lotus turned his head to look at the border between Dayu and Zilan in the distance, and suddenly asked, "Longchen, aren't you going to go to the capital?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "I originally planned to go over, but if I think about it, in this situation where the time is not enough, even if I go over, I can't play much role, at most, I can help the Fan family solve a few honorable mysteries, which is almost insignificant to the royal family of Dayu Kingdom, and it doesn't play a big role in the Fan family." β
The white fox asked again, "Don't you want to know what the situation of the Fan family is?"
"I can probably guess the current situation of the Fan family, and it must still be in a difficult situation. β
Long Chen had a hint of thought in his eyes, and said lightly: "However, with the means of my grandfather and the strength accumulated by the Fan family for a long time, there should not be too many problems in dealing with it for a year and a half, after all, the main policy of the royal family of Dayu to deal with the Fan family is to rely on the numerical advantage of the Venerable Xuan, step by step, to eat away at the Fan family, and it is impossible to launch a life-and-death attack in a short period of time, and that Emperor Jing is obviously planning to solve the Fan family's wishful thinking with the minimum loss." β
Speaking of this, Long Chen smiled bitterly and sighed softly: "Besides, today's Hainei Continent is simply a Longtan Tiger's Den to me, in less than three years, I have set up many enemies in the Hainei Continent, among which the Xuanzong Hall is the most, speaking of which, since I was promoted to executive envoy, I have not returned to the Insect Sect Hall for more than half a year, and this alone is enough to make the Deputy Sect Master of the Insect Sect Palace, Bu Tian, angry." β
The white fox blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "I remember that the last time you came back, there seemed to be no movement in the Insect Sect Palace, could it be that the Xuanzong Hall would kill you because of this matter?"
"That's just it, Bu Tianji won't kill me, but, no matter what, he has to arrest me and imprison me for half a year and a year according to the rules of the Insect Sect Palace, otherwise how can he save the face of the deputy sect master?"
Speaking of this, Long Chen squinted slightly, revealing a little cold light, and said softly: "Moreover, Li Ying obviously knows that I have a relationship with Xiao Potian, but he has not revealed this matter for a long time, I suspect that he must still be waiting for the day when I return to the Insect Sect Palace, after all, if I am not controlled by the Insect Sect Palace, even if he exposes this matter, it will not be easy for the Insect Sect Hall to arrest me." β
The white fox asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure that Li Yingyu didn't inform Xuanzong Hall about this?"
Long Chen sneered and said, "It's very simple, Li Ying wants to maximize the benefits. β
"Profit maximization?"
The white fox had obviously heard these five words for the first time, and in fact, these five words had never appeared in this world.
"Li Ying is an extremely careful person, even if he wants to kill me, he will not let this matter be known to others, because he is afraid of Xiao Potian, if he can't get the benefits he wants from me, he won't take such a risk. β
Long Chen looked at the boundless clouds from afar, and said slowly: " The benefits that Li Yingyuan can get from me, naturally only Xuanzong Hall can give him, but if he only gives Xuanzong Hall a single unverifiable information related to Xiao Potian, this will naturally not bring him much benefit, unless, he can find some important things from me to prove this, and when the time comes, whether he takes my life in person or hands me over to Xuanzong Hall to deal with, he can get the greatest benefits, and it is even possible to enter Xuanzong Hall through this, so he will definitely not easily tell Xuanzong Hall about this, unless I one day, I will force him to a desperate timeγ β
The white fox easily understood Long Chen's words, and a trace of curiosity couldn't help but appear in his blue eyes, and he hesitated slightly, and finally couldn't help but say bluntly: "Actually, I've always had a question, you're only seventeen years old, why do you think of so many things?"
Ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, where can they have the exquisite mind of Long Chen, who has almost reached the extreme of trying to figure out people's hearts?
The white fox has been following Long Chen for more than a year, no matter what happened during this period, Long Chen showed a mind that did not meet his age every time, which was a puzzle that the white fox had always been difficult to solve, in her opinion, if she put aside her strength and knowledge, in other aspects, Long Chen had surpassed her original master.
And her original owner was hundreds of times older than Long Chen.
The white fox's question made Long Chen a little dumbfounded all of a sudden, and after being silent for a long time, he smiled and said, "Forced, if I don't think about it, I won't be able to live today." β
Since the age of six, Long Chen has been forced to keep thinking about some things, and the questions he needs to think about in the past ten years have exceeded the problems that some ordinary people have to think about in a lifetime, especially with the strength of a high-level master, he has hidden three pieces of two pavilions and three halls that will set himself on fire at any time and wander in the mainland to this day, if he stops thinking, I am afraid that he will already become a skeleton.
After getting Long Chen's very simple answer, the white fox stopped talking, and sat quietly, looking down at the slowly moving earth under the clouds.
When the colorful floating lotus flew out of the border of Dayu Kingdom and entered the territory of Daliang Kingdom, the white fox suddenly asked again: "Then, about the matter of the Hainei Continent, do you plan to deal with it after the Heavenly City Xuandou Conference is over?"
Long Chen nodded lightly and said, "Well, I planned it this way, now it is less than four months before the Xuandou Conference, and my mother and sister are in the Heavenly City, so there must be nothing that can affect me." β
Under the unfavorable situation that there are countless threats to Long Chen lurking in the inner continent, the Heavenly City Xuandou Conference is no longer just a simple show, behind this Xuandou Conference is not only related to the interests of the six masters of the Heavenly City, but also closely related to his own fate.
Long Chen never thought that he could sweep away all the obstacles in the sea continent by himself, especially the Xuanzong Palace, which can be called a mountain that overwhelms him the most, even if he has the supreme token of two pavilions and three halls, but without the two pavilions and three halls of Xiao Potian Ye Ruxue and his party, sooner or later they will be swept away by the Xuanzong Palace, how can they talk about resisting the mountain of the Xuanzong Palace, or even overturning it?
The real master behind the Xuanzong Hall in the Hainei Continent now must be one of the six families of the Heavenly City, but it is definitely not the Ning family.
Long Chen had already thought very clearly, he was helping the Ning family, in fact, he was helping himself, only if the Ning family obtained the greatest benefits in this Xuandou Conference, he could take this opportunity to get rid of all the hidden dangers of the Hainei Continent step by step, including, Xuanzong Palace!
Therefore, this time in the Xuandou Conference, Long Chen had already prepared to completely show his true strength in the worst-case scenario, this opportunity that could allow him to get enough attention in the Ning family, of course he could not let it go.
After flying continuously at high altitude for nearly thirteen days, the colorful floating lotus finally appeared in the sky above the semi-ring island in the Wuji Sea, and after collecting the white fox into the beast control nine-eyed sword, Long Chen used the teleportation stone platform of the half-ring island to reach the Tianhai Floating Island, all the way to the Heavenly City unimpeded, and then hurried to Ningjia City, the one thing he wanted to know most now was how many tenth-level magic stones were exchanged for the two Guluo Pills given to Zhu Zicheng.
