Chapter 87 - Bait

Huang Feiyang was secretly laughing at Long Chen, seeing as he looked like he wasn’t afraid to die at all.

Long Chen didn’t look at him, and instead turned to Yan Beitian. “Mayor Yan, I apologize for delaying the start of the mission. I had to attend to some important matters.”

Huang Feiyang was naturally extremely uncomfortable with being ignored by Long Chen. However, he was also long past the age of youthful impulse. Instead, he squinted, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. This brat looks a little different. But I can’t tell what changed ...

His killing intent heated up as he stared at Long Chen darkly. This brat looked so unwilling earlier, yet he’s now grinning at us. I’m sure he’s only pretending. Now that I’ve cornered him, he must hate me to the bone and wishes to stab me a thousand times. But you shall experience true torture very soon, you brat ...

Long Chen could immediately read Huang Feiyang’s mind.

Mayor Yan felt frustrated when Long Chen spoke to him before the other two.

He was a cunning old man himself and knew that Long Chen was deliberately trying to anger Huang Feiyang. As he looked at the young Long Chen, he felt that it was a waste.

But his daughter’s life was in danger, and he responded hurriedly, “If you all are ready, it’s time to enter Yandong Mountain now!”

“Alright.” Long Chen nodded.

Are you pretending to be calm in front of me? We’ll see how you fare later!

With this thought, and after he saw Yan Beitian’s panicked look, Huang Feiyang waved and said, “We shall depart for Yandong Mountain now. Long Chen, I hope you will perform well!”

Long Chen didn’t care to reply.

Although he looked calm, he wanted to kill Huang Feiyang as much as the latter wanted to kill him. He was just better at hiding it.

Under Huang Feiyang’s instructions, Yan Beitian stayed in Yanluo Town while the trio left for Yandong Mountain.

The mountain was not far, and the trio quickly arrived at a dense forest with no sign of human habitation. “Let’s all split up and search in three directions. Make some noise as you travel. If a strong opponent appears, we’ll come to protect you immediately if you shout loudly!”

Huang Feiyang spoke like a true senior.

Long Chen turned and smirked coldly without a word, walking up to the front.

Once Long Chen was a little further ahead, Wen Ya asked with a frown, “Something feels very strange with the brat. If we don’t kill him now, it’ll only get more complicated later!”

“He’s only pretending to be calm. I think he’s scared to death. There’s no one in Yandong Mountain, and we’re two mid-Human Core Realm cultivators. Now that he’s in the palm of our hands, do you think he can escape us?”

Huang Feiyang was smiling confidently. “All I want is for the people on the other side to kill him. Wen Ya, if there are a lot of them, try your best to not kill all of them so the news can spread. That way, it’ll be easier for Madam Administrator to believe that we didn’t kill Long Chen!”

Wen Ya could only nod in agreement. “Alright. But Madam Administrator has taken a liking to him. Do you think it’s risky for us to do this?”

“Taken a liking?” Huang Feiyang snickered. “How important could he be? Is he more important than Boss Feng Wutian? With him protecting us, Madam Administrator won’t do anything to us over a mere brat’s death!”

Seeing that Long Chen was already walking far ahead, both of them followed silently.

Huang Feiyang’s evil plans were clear as day to Long Chen. I think he’s going to use the Blood Saints to kill me. You think I wouldn’t figure this out? You’ve crafted this situation to suit your plan, but do you think I can’t use it to my advantage as well?

First, they had to lure the Blood Saints out. That would not be an easy task, but Long Chen had a trick up his sleeve. There were many Category One and Two Yellow-tier beasts in Yandong Mountain, so when he found a nest of some canine-type beasts, he chased tens of them out.

These low-tier beasts were in a state of chaos and created a huge commotion in the area. Long Chen kept disturbing more beasts until chaos spread across the whole mountain.

Huang Feiyang grinned when he saw how hard Long Chen was working.

“If a strong enemy appears, we will not attack. It’ll be much easier if we wait till we find their nest, and we can kill two birds with one stone!” said Wen Ya, patting Huang Feiyang’s shoulder.

Yandong Mountain wasn’t as large as the Desolate Mountains, though there were many low-tier beasts around. Very soon, most of them had been triggered by Long Chen, and he noticed there were more people watching him other than Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya. Indeed, the bastards from the Blood Saints haven’t left this place!

Although he didn’t know where they were, Long Chen could clearly sense their presence.

After a while, a disheveled middle-aged man, clad in a blood-colored robe, at approximately the Eighth Draconic Stage, saw Long Chen from afar. His eyes brightened and he praised, “What a beautiful teenage boy! Just my type. How lucky am I? Looks like the heavens are treating me well today!”

Why is this guy looking at me in a disgusting way?

Long Chen was already suppressing a lot of anger seeing as he still couldn’t fight Huang Feiyang. When he saw the perverted middle-aged man staring at him, drooling, Long Chen turned into a tornado and charged before his enemy approached!

There was a red dot between the middle-aged man’s eyebrows. “Blood Saints ... We meet again ...”
