Chapter 633: 633

After the battlefield was cleaned up, Long Chen examined everyone’s injuries . It went without saying that this battle had been extremely fierce .

Although they had all undergone complete tempering before advancing to Meridian Opening, it was still difficult for them to battle Xiantian experts .

But luckily, there hadn’t been that many enemies . They had only been ten times the Dragonblood Legion . If it had been more, Long Chen wouldn’t have dared let them take this risk .

The death of any one of his brothers would cause him great grief . But there was no way around this . They had to take advantage of this opportunity .

The cultivation bases and numbers of their enemies had been perfectly at the limit of what the Dragonblood Legion could handle . If there had been more enemies, there would have been terrible casualties .

Their enemies had been just strong enough and the perfect number to give the Dragonblood Legion the best tempering . Too strong and they wouldn’t be able to handle them . Too few and there wouldn’t be any pressure or feeling of death .

The most gratifying thing was that not a single person had died . Reality was just this cruel . Long Chen had no choice but to make everyone go through this danger .

However, if they didn’t take this risk this time, the Dragonblood Legion’s power would be thrown behind . Next time when they had to face enemies, it would be even more dangerous .

Long Chen’s own cultivation speed was too fast . If he continued like this, the Dragonblood warriors wouldn’t be able to keep up with him . They wouldn’t be able to fight shoulder to shoulder with him .

He understood each Dragonblood warrior . They were all hot-blooded warriors who would rather die on the battlefield than be abandoned, discarded, and thrown away . That was their own dignity .

Long Chen also had never had any thoughts about abandoning them . So the only choice was for them to take on trials and dangers with him .

Those who had been injured would be fully healed in just three days after consuming Long Chen’s personally refined healing pills .

Long Chen had everyone go rest . As for the mines? Fuck, if anyone could find the mines anymore, then they could go steal from them if they wanted to . Long Chen really had to admire himself .

The entire mining region had been destroyed . Who could find the entrance to the mines? Let alone the Xuantian Dao Sect’s mines, even two neighboring mines had been buried .

But it wasn’t so important . The black gold ore was almost depleted; thus, no one had any hope toward that elusive Phoenix Blood Black Gold . As for the miners, they only worked part-time nowadays . During the past few days, there hadn’t been any mining at all, so there was no one buried underground . And so, the mines could just be left buried . This way, they also didn’t need to worry about being attacked for the mines .

The original buildings had been destroyed now, so everyone could only live in tents . Within a certain tent, Zhou Kun lay on the ground, his eyes closed and blood pouring out of his seven orifices . His face was an unhealthy yellow color, and his aura was incredibly weak .

“Long Chen, can you save the district chief? If this continues, he might die!” The elder who had once threatened Long Chen begged him for help now .

This elder was bewildered . Zhou Kun’s cultivation base was the highest here, but then why was he the one to receive the heaviest injuries now?

“I could . ” Long Chen rubbed his chin thoughtfully .

“Really? Great! Hurry and heal him!”

“The problem is, why should I save him?”

The elder almost died from rage . “We’re all members of the same sect here! How can you just watch as someone dies?”

“How can I just watch as someone dies? I really have to admire you . Just how did you manage to make your skin so thick? When we were facing those Corrupt enemies, you all just hid in here like tortoises . Why didn’t you think of such sanctimony at that time?” snorted Long Chen .

“That was…”

The elder was speechless . At this time, Meng Qi suddenly sighed, “Long Chen, let it go . After all, we’re all members of the same sect . At this time, we should be united against outer enemies . ”

“Right, right, this lady’s words are entirely correct . We should be united!” cried the elder .

Long Chen sneered and didn’t say anything . Meng Qi walked over and examined Zhou Kun . “The district chief’s cultivation base is high, but his Spiritual Strength is too weak . He definitely must have tried using his Spiritual Strength to examine the battle, and as a result, he didn’t retract his spiritual energy in time and received a backlash to his soul . ”

The elder’s heart shook . Meng Qi was correct . The Zhou family didn’t have any talent when it came to Spiritual Strength . As for Zhou Kun, his Spiritual Strength was famed for being weak .

He didn’t question her words at all . However, he couldn’t understand why Zhou Kun would use his Spiritual Strength that way . Perhaps only he knew .

“But then how can you save him?” asked the elder . After all, Zhou Kun was their leader . They had to rely on him for everything .

Although the elder was also a member of the Zhou family, he hadn’t been given knowledge about many things . Also, Zhou Kun hadn’t passed anything to him, so it was all too easy for him to mess up . That was why he was so anxious now .

“Ah, fine . I’ll sacrifice a portion of my Spiritual Strength to help heal his soul,” sighed Meng Qi .

“What?! Who do you think he is? He’s not worthy of you sacrificing your Spiritual Strength . Have you gone stupid?!” Long Chen raged, his expression completely changing .

“Long Chen, you have to pay more attention to the big picture . Temporarily put down this enmity of yours,” said Meng Qi .

Long Chen snorted with rage and left .

Seeing this, Meng Qi said to the elder, “Help protect me . Don’t let anyone disturb me . I’ll heal the district chief’s injuries . ”

Two hours later, Meng Qi left Zhou Kun’s tent . When she returned to the Dragonblood Legion’s area, Long Chen was already laughing, coming out of his tent . His previous anger had disappeared .

“How was it? Did you get it?” he asked .

“You really are a scoundrel . That act of yours was so real that I even thought you got angry,” said Meng Qi .

“Hehe, quick, get in . Tell me, what are they up to?”

Long Chen pulled Meng Qi into his tent . Tang Wan-er was also present . After resting for a while, Tang Wan-er was no longer as pale as before .

“This Zhou Kun really did have a plot . Long Chen, you really were smart . You even thought of such a plan . ” Meng Qi looked at Long Chen and sighed .

“Hehe, overpraise, overpraise!” Long Chen laughed mischievously . When it came to handling bad people, he always had many cons .

Zhou Kun had truly been schemed against by Long Chen . When the shockwaves from Tang Wan-er and the Corrupt Celestial’s attacks had reached him, Long Chen had directly used his Spiritual Strength to force Zhou Kun into a slumber .

But Long Chen hadn’t expected Zhou Kun’s Spiritual Strength to be so weak . This move of his had almost dispersed his soul .

Luckily, bad people always had the protection of the heavens . He hadn’t died . So Long Chen had come up with an act with Meng Qi, having Meng Qi go save him .

Yes, she was to save him . But at the same time, Meng Qi had used a secret technique to rifle through Zhou Kun’s memories .

This was different from soulsearch . It required the target to not have the slightest bit of resistance at all and a comparatively long time to do . That was why Meng Qi had wasted two hours in order to obtain the information that she wanted .

At the same time, she had implanted some memories in him, memories that said that back then, he had used his Spiritual Strength to probe Tang Wan-er and the Corrupt Celestial’s battle . As a result, he had been heavily injured .

As for why he would do something so stupid, that was his own problem . In any case, once he woke up, he would definitely remember that he had done that stupid thing, which had resulted in this . That was enough .

“Long Chen, perhaps we’ve really fallen into a huge trap this time,” said Meng Qi worriedly .

“It’s fine . I was aware of that . But to raise the Dragonblood Legion, we had no choice but to enter the trap . Otherwise, the Dragonblood Legion would require a long time to stabilize their foundations, and only then could they advance . But we don’t have enough time for that,” said Long Chen helplessly .

How could he not know this was a trap? But he had no choice .

“The Zhou family intentionally leaked the information that you’ve come to the chaos region to the Corrupt path . From Zhou Kun’s memories, I also learned that their attacks won’t stop here, nor will that Celestial today be the only one . In fact, the attack today was entirely not within their plans . They were supposed to gather multiple groups before giving us a thunderous strike .

“Furthermore, behind this matter is also the Pill Tower . Although Zhou Kun isn’t aware of the whole plan, he has had interactions with the Zhou family’s experts, and they implied their intentions . The Zhou family originally had enmity with you . Now they can even get a favor from the Pill Tower’s Huo family, and they are using the blades of the Corrupt path . They don’t even have to get their own hands dirty to cut you down .

“Then when the time comes, they’ll announce that the mine was sneak attacked, and all the ore in the mine was stolen . Then that ‘stolen’ black gold ore will enter the Zhou family’s pockets . It is truly a marvelous scheme,” sighed Meng Qi . She was extremely shocked by this plot .

But Long Chen’s expression was extremely calm . He wasn’t at all surprised by this kind of trap . He asked, “How much did Zhou Kun know?”

“He doesn’t have much information about the Corrupt path . All he knew was that they won’t just send one Celestial . They want to kill us in one, sudden strike . However, according to his expectations, the attack should have come between half a month to a month from now . As for these fellows today, they were a complete accident,” said Meng Qi .

“Not just one? Half a month to a month from now? Hehe, not bad, not bad . They’re giving us a lot of valuable time . ” Long Chen smiled . “Two days from now, I’ll bring all the members of the Dragonblood Legion away from here . As for Meng Qi, you focus on refining the Heavenly Dao Fruit, and Wan-er will protect you . ”

“You’re going to leave? Could it be…?”

“Yes . You’ve also seen that the Dragonblood warriors have already steadied their auras after this battle . In truth, they’ve long since reached the peak of Meridian Opening . I had them suppress their cultivation bases, not letting them advance, but now I’m prepared to give them the Heaven Advancing Pills . They’ll be able to advance perfectly to the Xiantian realm . In other words, once we return… hehe, we’ll give those Corrupt experts a nice surprise . ” Long Chen laughed .

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er looked at each other . If all the Dragonblood Legion advanced to the Xiantian realm, then they would be a pack of wolves and tigers . Who could possibly defeat them?
