Yu Qingxuan was startled, confused and confused about what had happened. Long Chen pointed at the tree, but there was nothing unusual about it.
Yu Qingxuan was about to wonder if Long Chen was just too nervous and had seen something wrong, since she hadn't sensed anything.
But soon, Yu Qingxuan's expression changed. The moment Long Chen pointed with his finger, the shadow of the tree suddenly moved.
The shadow of the tree suddenly shook, and with a whoosh, a black shadow shot up onto the tree.
"Pfft!"
A gust of finger wind pierced through the tree, a violent explosion echoing, instantly attracting countless people from Huayun Trading Company. At the same time, alarms sounded as the heavy formation was pushed open.
Long Chen arrived under a large tree, which took several people to encircle it, with a few drops of blood scattered beneath it.
Long Chen stuck the bloodstains with his fingers, rubbed them a bit, and then brought them to his nose to smell.
"There's a dark aura. The blood is cold, and the fluctuations are extremely strange... Long
Chen stared seriously at the bloodstain in his hand. As he spoke, the bloodstain quickly faded, the red part disappeared, turning into a drop of clear water. Finally, even the water evaporated, as if nothing had happened.
"What kind of creature is that?"
Yu Qingxuan said in shock. When that creature approached them, she didn't notice at all. It was terrifying.
"It should be an assassin from the Night Clan." At that moment, a voice rang out.
"President."
At this moment, the President also arrived. After inspecting the scene, his expression grew serious.
"The Night Elves of the evil elf clan?" Long Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right, the Night Clan is skilled in assassination. Their talent allows them to freely switch between flesh and shadow, killing without a trace.
Fortunately, Mr. Long Chen saw through his disguise; otherwise, it would have been truly dangerous. The president said, a moment of lingering fear.
The true strength of the Night Clan is not very strong, but their disguise and assassination skills make them hard to guard against. Even a Heavenly Venerable expert could be assassinated by an Immortal King from the Night Clan if they're not careful.
"I didn't see through his disguise; it was he trying to get close to me, which made me sense something.
Even if he sensed it, he couldn't determine his location. It was when he moved through the shadows that Qingxuan's hairpin reflected light, revealing his location. Long Chen said.
It turned out Long Chen sensed it but couldn't locate him. At that moment, his heart skipped a beat, instantly realizing he had encountered a stealth expert.
Long Chen had originally thought the other party was hiding in the void, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't detect any abnormal spatial fluctuations until Yu Qingxuan turned around, and sunlight shone on her hairpin.
The hairpin's reflection traced an arc as Yu Qingxuan rotated, but as it passed the big tree on the ground, the reflection vanished, and Long Chen almost instinctively launched his attack.
Long Chen's reaction speed was already fast enough, but he still managed to escape. Long Chen didn't even see what the Night Clan's experts looked like.
"We have no grudge or enmity with the Night Clan. Why would they want to target us?" Yu Qingxuan asked in confusion.
"It must be the one behind Longteng Trading Company. The Night Clan has close ties with Longteng Trading Company.
During Longteng Trading Company's growth, they helped the company a lot. Some problems that couldn't be handled personally were all resolved by the Night Clan.
Some forces have offended Longteng Trading Company, and it won't be long before their leaders are assassinated by the Night Clan.
The relationship between the Night Clan and Longteng Trading Company is basically no secret in Nie Yingtian. The Night Clan is the assassin hired by Longteng Trading Company to clear all obstacles on the company's path to rise.
"Mr. Long Chen, I will strengthen the security of the trading firm in the near future. Please do not go out." The president said.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "President, you don't need to worry too much. When it comes to dealing with assassins, I have experience. Since Longteng Trading Company wants to play, I'll play along with them." The
president wanted to persuade Long Chen again, but Long Chen took Yu Qingxuan back to secluded cultivation. Seeing Long Chen choose to go into seclusion, the president breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought that Long Chen was afraid of losing face and would say a few tough words, but in reality, he still needed to avoid the Night Clan.
"Long Chen, you really don't need to take them seriously. You need to hurry up and improve your cultivation." Back at the place of seclusion, Yu Qingxuan advised.
She knew Long Chen's temperament; she didn't want him to waste so much energy dealing with assassins from the Night Clan.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I'm not taking them seriously. Mainly, my cultivation path is different from yours. I've been bored lately, so I'll figure out how to deal with them."
After all, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever; eventually, you'll have to confront them head-on.
Don't worry, I won't do things I'm not confident about. Just focus on refining pills. I've matured enough now, so it's time to make a small change." Seeing
Long Chen say this, Yu Qingxuan said no more and entered her alchemy chamber to begin refining.
Long Chen also entered the cultivation chamber. After activating all the grand formations, he asked,
"Senior, we've been waiting so long. Is it about time now? If we keep waiting, I feel like I'm about to be ruined."
"You're just too impatient. Alright, the Dragon God's body refinement is already ninety-nine percent complete. Now that you start fusing Nie Ying Tian's laws, it won't affect your foundation much. Go ahead!" The dragon clan expert said helplessly.
According to its rhythm, it was intended for Long Chen to rest for about another month to observe the maturity of the Dragon God's Body Refining Technique.
You have to understand, Long Chen's body refinement technique is at its most basic and crucial stage—there can be no room for carelessness.
Once the foundation is flawed, it is irreversible, and this will determine the upper limit of Long Chen's future body refining technique.
Although Long Chen's performance had long exceeded its expectations, to be cautious, it was best to continue to settle for a while, so that if anything went wrong, it would be easier to make up for it.
But it also saw that by not letting Long Chen cultivate, Long Chen had been anxious these days, and even his emotions had become somewhat unstable. If he endured for another month, Long Chen might go mad.
After all, it was a powerful dragon with unimaginable lifespan, so it had no concept of time and no deep understanding of the impatience of humans.
But he knew Long Chen's personality. If he let Long Chen wait any longer, this guy might enter a rebellious phase, so he could only reluctantly agree.
Receiving the dragon clan's reply, Long Chen immediately smiled and quickly formed hand seals.
"Buzz!"
The seven-colored divine ring trembled, stretching open heaven and earth. With the endless grand array's support, the power of the Heavenly Dao was absorbed by the ring, and the laws belonging to Nie Ying Tian began to be empowered upon Long Chen.
Long Chen's blessing was simple and forceful, impossible to refuse. As endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into Long Chen's body, his long-sealed cultivation finally began to loosen.
"Hehe, it's time to show off your skills in Nie Ying Tian. Master Long San is about to make a strong entrance."
Feeling the changes in his body, Long Chen instantly felt a surge of heroic spirit.
