Chapter 755: Actors Behind The Scenes



“Be good,” Suxue said with a raised voice. She was getting mad at her stubborn sister, and her chest was heaving.

“Yan’er, go back,” said Long Chen. He wanted to see what Suxue would do.

Suyan was willing to listen to Long Chen, so after he spoke, she nodded obediently and left. She looked back at almost every step, showing just how unwilling she was to leave.

After Suyan left, Suxue’s gaze cooled. She eyed him for a while, then said, “I don’t know how you made my father believe you, but I’m warning you now. If you start having funny thoughts and you fail to save my sister, I will never let you live!”

Since she was unpleasant to him, there was no reason for him to be pleasant to her. He squinted and said, “To be honest, it has nothing to do with you, whether I am willing to save your sister or not. I have my way of doing things. If you don’t like it, you may leave. There is no need to threaten me. Don’t assume that I am afraid of you, alright?”

Long Chen’s rudeness angered her so much that her face turned red. Swallowing her anger, she said coldly, “Don’t celebrate too early. Don’t think that I am ignorant of your true intentions. You just want to manipulate my sister and climb on my father so you’ll get a boost to power. I’ve met people like you before, but I will dash your dreams very soon. Don’t think that there are no other alchemists in the Demon clan. Our alchemists are a hundred times stronger than you. You just wait! When I call one over, you will be exposed as a fake alchemist! You just wait!”

“I won’t be seeing you off.” Long Chen did not bother with the argument and pointed at the door.

“Hmph!” Suxue huffed, then turned to leave. Her fragrance slowly disappeared.

“She thinks she’s the shit.” Long Chen did not even shoot her a glance.

After she left, Suyan walked in cautiously. She looked at him apologetically and said, “Big Brother, I’m so sorry. My sister has always been cautious of strangers. But she’s not usually like this …”

“Don’t worry, Yan’er. I don’t blame you. Alright, then I shall stay here. I’ll treat you again in ten days. During this time, I will be cultivating alone. Do not disturb me without my permission, got it?” Long Chen’s objective for coming to Heavenly Wood City was to cultivate. The earthly spiritual Qi in the city was extremely potent, more so than in the other places he had been before. This was an excellent place for cultivating.

“I can’t disturb you?” Suyan pouted. She thought she would be able to play with him every day, but Long Chen needed to cultivate. She did not dare disturb him though, so she nodded obediently and said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll only come when there’s a need. If my sister comes looking for trouble, I’ll stop her.”

“Good girl.” Long Chen smiled warmly.

After a while, she finally left. Long Chen closed the door and sat cross-legged on the floor.

The black, furry cat emerged from the Primordial Realm and climbed onto the wooden desk. He looked at Long Chen, snickered, and said, “You’re lucky, kid. Wherever you go, cute girls pester you. I think you should stay here. Why are you still searching for that Ling Xi girl? There are two princesses here. One is obedient, the other loves to argue. You could get both girls in bed and enjoy the most glorious thing in life. This is wonderful; you don’t know how many people are jealous.”

Long Chen glared at him coldly and asked, “Did you come out just to spout nonsense?”

Little Cat continued with a grin, “I’m being serious. The Royal Territories are more treacherous than you imagine. An unimportant figure like you will just be treated as a joke when you go to the immense Swordsoul Palace. You may even die randomly, and no one will bother to bury you. You’re just going to humiliate yourself. Heavenly Wood City is amazing with two women for you. One has both a fiery temper and figure, while the other is gentle in both nature and figure. They are highly ranked too. Why would you destroy such a beautiful life for an uncertain, faraway dream?”

Long Chen bit his lip. He looked at Little Cat coldly and said, “You want to know why? I’ll tell you why. Because I am Long Chen!”

This was such a simple answer to Long Chen. Why wouldn’t he enjoy such a beautiful life, and instead choose to embark on a journey of no return? Why would he risk his life to forge ahead, even having countless brushes with death? There was only one reason—he was Long Chen!

Looking at Long Chen’s determined gaze, Little Cat smiled awkwardly and said, “I was just making a joke. Why are you getting all riled up? Do you think I don’t know how you are? Hehe. Let’s change the topic. For example, your trump cards like the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance have been seen through by someone.”

“What?” Long Chen’s eyes widened with disbelief.

“Do not underestimate other masters. I am sure that guy Bai Lan knows that you have received the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance and even sensed your Five Emperor Seals. He hid it well, right? You didn’t even realize that he saw right through you.”

“What do I do?” He saw that Little Cat was calm, so he knew that he would have a solution.

Little Cat said lazily, “Don’t worry. He did not attack you immediately because he is a smart man. He knows there are things he can touch and things he cannot.”

“What do you mean?” Long Chen still did not understand.

“Just trust me. You came here wanting to meet Bai Lan, but I think that he will try to get closer to you too. Based on how he let you treat his darling daughter and stay right next to her, it shows that he is trying to nurture the relationship between you and his daughter.”

Long Chen had a revelation. “He is indeed an old fox. I can’t believe I didn’t figure that out. If you hadn’t told me, I would still be in the dark.”

Long Chen thought he was a little too careless sometimes. If it wasn’t for the fact that Bai Lan wanted to get closer to him, he would have died already.

But why did Bai Lan want to be good to him?

“I think he also knows about the presence of the people behind the scenes. You see, the Thunder Demon faction and the Divine Wind faction are almost equal in strength. Yet the Divine Wind faction took up two districts so brazenly, whereas the Thunder Demon faction focused all their strength on Heavenly Wood City. It shows that Bai Lan wants to keep a low profile. He is cautious of the people behind the scenes, so he dares not stand out. He knows the saying, ‘the outstanding bird gets shot.’ That is why he will not touch you, but will quietly build a relationship with you. Alright, I can say that both of you guys suddenly want to build a relationship. Could this be a match made in heaven?”

“To hell with you,” scolded Long Chen while laughing.

“It looks like I can do anything without reservation in Heavenly Wood City, then. After I reach the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, I will start going to the peak of the city to cultivate the Seven Star Body! Of course, I must first cultivate the Seven Star Constellation’s essence, which is the foundation for cultivating the Seven Star Body and the Big Dipper Step. As for the divine weapon I received, the Three Thousand Star Clusters, it’s too powerful. I’ll save that for later.”

Very soon, Long Chen laid out his cultivation plans.

As long as he was in Heavenly Wood City, Long Chen had the protection of Bai Lan and the little girl Suyan guarding him, so he could sleep without any worries.

However, the people behind the scenes were like a thorn in his mind.

After he cleared out his thoughts, he let Little Cat keep watch and sank his mind into the Primordial Realm without a worry, starting to study the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage’s techniques. Some time had passed since he broke through to the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage, so it was time to work towards the next breakthrough.

The Martial God Tombstone glowed gray beneath the enveloping, gray Primordial Qi.

Long Chen focused his attention on the tombstone. A silhouette of a person appeared. Once again, this person started performing the Earthly Martial Fist Manual from the First Earthly Martial Stage until the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. Long Chen realized that every time he revised this routine, it benefited him greatly. He previously had many flaws in his Fifth Earthly Martial Stage cultivation, but they were all filled now.

After about half a day, the silhouette finally reached the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. When it started performing it, Little Cat’s voice came from outside the Primordial Realm. Long Chen had no choice but to pull his mind out of the Primordial Realm. He opened his eyes and saw Little Cat staring at him with his large eyes.

“What is it?” blurted Long Chen.

“Take a look for yourself.” Little Cat then stretched his back.

Long Chen quickly used the Soul Swallowing Gaze and indeed, not far away, Suxue was rushing over angrily with a young man by her side.

“Big Sister, Big Brother said that no one can disturb him when he’s cultivating,” Suyan said anxiously, trying her best to stop her sister.

“What? Who does he think he is? He’s merely cultivating, and he is in my city. Yet I’m not allowed to get near him?” Suxue was furious.

“But Big Brother said …” said Suyan in a small voice.

“So what if he did?” Suxue pushed her gently aside, then walked over to his quarters.

“Big Sister, if you do this, I’ll never talk to you again …” When Suyan said this, the door opened with a creak.
