Chapter 681: Passing Guest



To Long Chen, it was indeed stressful that all of their futures and livelihoods were in his hands. However, he was confident in his own abilities and was also doing this to make Long Yue rest easy. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry too much. After I finish cultivating this technique and Xiaolang wakes up, I’ll go look for Zhao Danchen.”

“That’s right!” Long Yue paused. “With your current situation, you should deal with Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan separately. Zhao Danchen is weaker and is your main opponent. As for Feng Xuan, her final goal is the Ancient Token. You can put her aside until it appears.”

The plan was set.

Long Yue said, “As long as you kill Zhao Danchen, I can control the whole Divine Martial Empire. As for the specific plan, we’ll wait until you’re fully prepared before deciding.”

The bonfire party continued until very late before the crowd started to disperse. Before that, Long Yue called everyone together to discuss. Long Chen did not participate. He found a spot to study the advanced King-tier Desolate Divine Seal.

Moonlight shone on them.

Long Chen sat on the branch of a tall, thick, ancient tree in the lush forest and looked up at the sky.

“Only the final obstacle remains in the Divine Martial Empire,” Long Chen muttered to himself.

He had been cultivating the Desolate Divine Seal for over ten days now. He was supposed to spend a long, long time cultivating a technique of this level. However, he had watched a gigantic palm descend in the mysterious space created by the tombstone. The palm contained all the essential information of the Desolate Divine Seal, making it much simpler to master than learning the technique through normal means.

“Zhao Danchen … He reached the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage and has more trump cards than me. But I, Long Chen, will give him a huge surprise!” Long Chen clenched his fist and gave a faint smile.

While Zhao Danchen thought he was awesome for mastering the Martial Overlord Seal, Long Chen would use the Desolate Divine Seal to show him what the actual strongest combat technique in the Divine Martial Empire was!

Beneath the moonlight, Long Chen sat cross-legged on the branch without moving, but his hands were making various seals. His hands moved at varying speeds and without rhythm. The patterns looked simple, but they were profound. As they moved, a gray gas formed on his palms and spun around his hands, slowly turning into an irregular-shaped ball.

The small, gray ball looked like another world. It was blurry, and the grayness made it look like there were many things inside. Gray clouds and gray earth, the occasional oasis, and that gigantic palm from before …

When Long Chen’s hands reached a speed that was no longer clear to the naked eye, the strange ball disappeared. It had dispersed very suddenly.

“The Desolate Divine Seal is the only thing I’m lacking. But I still can’t do it; just a little bit more. I might need more time to practice to control the Desolate Divine Seal completely.” Long Chen contemplated the technique.

He was prepared to do it again, but he heard footsteps nearby. He looked down and saw a white-clothed teenage girl. She had simple makeup and her clothes billowed around her. She emerged from the darkness and came beneath Long Chen like a dream.

It was Liu Yiyi.

“Come up here.” Since she was looking at him, he knew that she was searching for him.

Liu Yiyi had not reached the Ninth Passage Stage yet, so she could not fly. But he was not in a high spot, so she easily leaped up and landed by his side. She sat next to him on the branch and stared at him, pursing her lips without a word.

“What is it?” Long Chen saw sadness in her eyes.

“While you were fighting earlier today, I was watching you from afar. You really are getting stronger; you’ve left me far behind,” lamented Liu Yiyi.

He chuckled and said, “Are you complimenting me? Why do I detect a hint of sourness? Are you jealous?”

Liu Yiyi burst into a chuckle.

She was beautiful, more so when she laughed. She looked so similar to Ling Xi that Long Chen went into a daze for a moment. Looking at his intense stare, Liu Yiyi immediately turned red.

“What are you looking at?” She turned away shyly.

Long Chen woke up and grinned awkwardly, “Nothing …”

Liu Yiyi suddenly looked up, mustered up the courage to look at him, and asked, “After you finish your matters in the Divine Martial Empire, you’ll leave immediately, right?”

This was likely what she actually wanted to ask today.

Long Chen did not want to lie to her, so he nodded.

“That also means that we aren’t going to see each other ever again, right?” Liu Yiyi asked bitterly. Tears were starting to pool in her eyes.

Long Chen thought for a while. He knew that there were some complicated feelings between them. Liu Yiyi was the one who actually liked him, while she only reminded him of Ling Xi.

She was the one who had begged Jiang Wuya to save him at the Ancient Demon Domain so Long Chen could live.

Long Chen had fought in front of the Ancient Demon Domain so Liu Yiyi could escape the fate of being married off to the Martial Alliance.

From an outsider’s point of view, this counted as love.

But Long Chen knew that there was only one person in his heart. The companionship he experienced during that part of his journey, and risking their lives together, was something he would never experience again. That was why he could only apologize to Liu Yiyi. It did not mean that she was not good. In fact, she was a very good girl. It was just that his heart had already been filled by another person.

So he clenched his teeth and said, “I don’t know what will happen in the future either the future is unclear. I have stayed in the Divine Martial Empire for close to a year. I don’t know if I’ll die on my journey forward either. So, I don’t think it will be forever. Perhaps there is a possibility that I will return.”

If he returned, it would mean that he had failed at the Royal Territory but did not die. It would mean that he had completely lost hope. But it would be unlikely for that to happen. Long Chen was an arrogant person and would never permit himself to be a weakling. He would forge ahead and deal with every problem as they came!

“Perhaps you will return?” Liu Yiyi muttered to herself woodenly. Then she looked at him gratefully and said, “Thank you for not giving me hope in order to comfort me. My mother told me that some people are fated to just be passing guests in our lives. It’s our luck to have met them, and we are fated to part. We don’t need to force anything, so I have let this go …”

Long Chen bit his lip. He wanted to say something but stopped.

He could see Liu Yiyi’s feelings towards him. Many men could decisively head to their deaths, but could not cut off their feelings. Long Chen was the same. In this world of feelings, everything was blurry, but Ling Xi gave him direction. His only goal was to advance in her direction!

There was a strong yearning in his heart to head to the Royal Territory and fight the people who looked down on him!

Those people had easily destroyed Long Chen in Baiyang Town. One day, he would go to the Royal Territory and show them how much stronger the person they had looked down on had become!

Who would expect that he was still alive?

When Liu Yiyi saw that Long Chen had only furrowed his brows and did not speak, as if thinking about something, she remained quiet. She only spoke when he returned to calm and said, “Are you going to the Royal Territory to find a girl?”

Although her mother had warned her, she still wanted to know if this was true.

Long Chen nodded. “Yes.”

There was nothing else to say.

Liu Yiyi bit her lip and forced a smile, but her tears would not cooperate and started to flow. What she wanted most was for her to become the person he was searching for. But she wasn’t.

“Goodbye …” Liu Yiyi leaped off the branch, then her white silhouette flickered through the trees and disappeared from his sight.

It was a very clean goodbye.

Long Chen sighed.

Liu Yiyi was also just a passing guest on his journey. He was just like a star that was slowly rising in the sky. He was fated to reach the highest peak and become an indomitable bright sun. Nothing in his path would stop him.

He calmed his emotions and resumed his cultivation. There was not much time left. He knew that he had to kill Zhao Danchen before the Ancient Token appeared. Then he would be able to fully focus on dealing with Feng Xuan!

She was his final enemy!

He formed seals with his hands again.

***

Liu Yiyi returned to her home with swollen eyes. This was a newly formed home with Jiang Wuya and the Clear Shallows King. They lived a happy life in the Battle clan.

As long as they eliminated the Martial Alliance, then they would live a happy, carefree life.

Both Jiang Wuya and the Clear Shallows King wanted a life like that.

When the couple saw Liu Yiyi return with red and swollen eyes, they both had a rough guess of what had happened. The Clear Shallows King pulled Liu Yiyi into her arms and said, “My child, do you remember what I said?”

Liu Yiyi nodded obediently.

“Mother, I want to go take a walk and have some quiet time alone. I won’t go somewhere with many people. I want to go to a place with mountains and water to look at the scenery and relax,” said Liu Yiyi.

“I’ll go with you,” said the Clear Shallows King.

“There’s no need. I want to be alone. When I return, you’ll see a happy daughter,” Liu Yiyi said with a forced smile.

Jiang Wuya and the Clear Shallows King looked at each other. In the end, they could only agree.

Their hearts ached for their daughter. If she could not get over this, she may never be happy again for the rest of her life.
