"Understand what?" Long Chen asked.
"That person might really be your father. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a violent conflict with Tianfu." Bai Zhantang said,
"We had just entered Emperor Heaven when we heard that a major event had erupted within Emperor Heaven. The Tianhuang Long family clashed with Tianfu, and Long Zhantian killed seventy-six Purple-Gold level assassins from Tianfu. It was a sensational event at the time."
"Purple-Gold level assassin?" What is that? Long Chen asked.
"That's the assassin level in Tianfu. Usually, those ranked among the Purple-Gold assassins are at the Saint King level.
Legend has it that when the conflict broke out, over three hundred Purple-Gold level assassins attacked your father, but your father alone launched a fierce counterattack, killing seventy-six opponents and forcing them to scatter.
And because of this, your father just entered the Long family and immediately became one of the Four Great Heavenly Saints, forcibly pushing out one of the old established Heavenly Saints, which caused quite a sensation. Bai Zhantang said.
Hearing his father so fierce, Long Chen couldn't help but feel overjoyed and excited. He was full of admiration for his father, and the poem he once recited would occasionally echo in his ears:
"Snow presses the branches low, though low, they cannot touch the mud; One morning, the red sun rises, still level with the sky. In
his youth, Long Zhantian was exceptionally gifted and full of ambition, never facing an opponent in his life. Yet he was suddenly trapped for many years, living worse than death, yet never bowing his noble head.
Now that Long Chen had appeared with this round of the Red Sun and he was once again displaying his brilliance, all the powerful beings in the world paled in comparison.
From Long Zhantian, Long Chen felt the overwhelming aura that only an emperor possessed. Now, upon hearing news about his father, Long Chen was so excited he wished he could shout and shout.
At the same time, Long Chen understood Bai Zhantang's meaning: Tianfu was the enemy of the Purple Blood clan, and Long Zhantian was their son-in-law. Naturally, he wouldn't show mercy when facing Tianfu.
And why did Tianfu send people here, using the Nine-Turn Destiny Pill to create a group of Destiny Practitioners, planning a surprise attack on Lingxiao Academy? With this, all karma would be completely clear.
"How is my father now?" Long Chen asked excitedly.
"I'm really not sure. I just heard that the Tianhuang Dragon family sent people to the academy, and the dean is in charge of reception. I don't know the details, so I was sent back." Bai Zhantang said.
"Didn't the director ask you to look after us in any way?" Long Chen asked.
Bai Zhantang thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem like I really did not. I was sent back, partly to handle family matters, and partly to meet with the head of the Pure Courtyard." "
Have you met Lord Jingyuan?" Long Chen asked.
"I have, and I have brought the Dean's words along. However, the Pure Courtyard Lord just nodded and said nothing." Bai Zhantang said.
He was also extremely troubled by Lord Jingyuan. In his memory, Lord Jingyuan seemed to have never spoken to him, only nodding and shaking his head.
So, when he heard that Long Chen could communicate with the Pure Courtyard Master, Bai Zhantang felt extremely dissatisfied. Why should he? This is clearly looking down on people!
But when facing Lord Jingyuan, he dared not show the slightest disrespect. Not only because of his father, who respected him greatly, but even the Hall Master, whom he greatly admired, treated Lord Jingyuan with utmost respect.
Long Chen really wanted to ask Bai Zhantang what message he had brought to the Jingyuan master. With Bai Zhantang's cunning, he could easily get him out. However, such matters were somewhat taboo and very improper, so Long Chen had no choice but to hold back from asking.
Having resolved his worries, Bai Zhantang was in an especially good mood. For the first time, he and Long Chen had a friendly conversation. Long Chen was generous and brought out some good wine. The two drank and chatted by the waterfall.
Rather than chatting, it was more like exploring Long Chen's past. Long Chen was an upright person and had nothing to hide about his past.
From birth, his spiritual roots, spiritual blood, and spiritual bones were stolen, thrown into the Fengming Empire, and adopted by Long Tianxiao. Step by step, he stepped into the cultivation world. Aside from secrets like the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, the Pill Emperor's Memories, and the dragon clan's powerhouses, Long Chen had nothing to hide. Whatever Bai Zhantang asked him, he would answer.
Bai Zhantang's eyes showed a hint of emotion. He had always thought Long Chen was just a reckless playboy, arrogant and domineering just because of his talent.
But unexpectedly, Long Chen had endured so much hardship. At the same time, thinking of Long Chen's father, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. These two father and son were truly pitiful people, and their hostility toward Long Chen was greatly diminished.
Originally, Long Chen wanted to learn more about Emperor Tian through Bai Zhantang, but found that this guy was truly 'unreliable'—clueless when asked, at most knowing some changes in the Heavenly Dao and rare treasures.
When asked about the treasures in Bai Xiaole and Bai Shishi's hands, Bai Zhantang said Bai Xiaole's treasure was obtained by Bai Shishi's mother in a desolate ancient ruin.
Bai Shishi's wristband was taken from a powerful monster during their first visit to the academy base during a conflict with an extraterrestrial monster.
According to Bai Zhantang's account, the monsters they encountered were a horde of demon corpses. These corpses were all from the primordial era, powerful cultivators in life, but after death, they mutated and became terrifying demon corpses.
The corpses of these demon corpses are immortal, their souls undiminished, and their fighting spirit retained. It is said that they do not realize they are already dead, believing they are still defending their homeland on the battlefield.
Bai Zhantang saw a demon wearing a gold wristband and immediately realized they were priceless treasures. His first thought was his daughter, and he was about to snatch them for Bai Shishi.
What he hadn't expected was that the demon wearing the golden bracers was actually the leader of that group, terrifyingly powerful and nearly killed by it. At that time, his two wives were not by his side. If the Hall Master hadn't intervened in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After that battle, he realized that the strength of these corpse demons cannot be judged solely by their appearance or aura; their strength lies in the fighting will they unleash the moment they strike.
In other words, unless you fight a corpse demon, you can't know its true strength, which is quite troublesome. This is one of the reasons why the dean dares not act rashly.
Moreover, many extraterrestrial monsters—even the strongest within Emperor Heaven—have never fully figured out their racial relationships, nor even made mistakes in how to judge their strength.
This kind of mistake is extremely fatal. You think it's a rabbit, but when you get close, you realize it's a fierce tiger, and you won't be able to run away at all.
For Lingxiao Academy to establish itself in Emperor Heaven, it first needed support from some local forces. Putting aside resource support, just the distribution of resources in Emperor Heaven, monster levels, cultivation taboos, and other information were what Lingxiao Academy needed most.
Therefore, considering various factors, Bai Letian had to choose to be more conservative to avoid basic mistakes that could cause unnecessary losses.
"But you don't need to worry. After all, Lingxiao Academy is Lingxiao Academy, so these issues aren't really a problem.
Within Emperor Heaven, there are our enemies and our friends. However, the news that Lingxiao Academy has entered Emperor Heaven has not yet spread. For now, the timing is very favorable for us. Bai Zhantang said.
Long Chen nodded. The title 'Number One Academy Under Heaven' was certainly well deserved. He believed that with the dean's wisdom, before entering Emperor Heaven, he would be well prepared. The dean was simply waiting for the best opportunity.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, the jade token at Long Chen's waist trembled, and a cold, murderous intent appeared on his face:
"You really are a thief who won't give up. Vice Hall Master, let's go together and meet the fate hunters of the Death Hunter clan."
"Huff, huff,"
as they spoke, their figures disappeared at the same time.
