Chapter 2022 - 2022 2012 The Person Behind

2022: Chapter 2012: The Person Behind 2022: Chapter 2012: The Person Behind “Why should I go if I don’t know who the other party is?”

Long Yan said.

The Blood Shadow Sect is not the Seven-Star Hall; he wouldn’t take the risk.

What if the Shengdao Alliance leaked the information to the Blood Shadow Sect and its upper echelon took the opportunity to deal with him?

Wouldn’t that be like entering a dragon’s den without any chance to escape?

“Since I have come, I will certainly take you to the Blood Shadow Main Altar.”

Ruan Chengyu said, “Your strength is not weak, enough to have killed Guo Kun, but you are definitely not my match.”

Long Yan was an extraordinary genius and worthy of serious treatment, but he had his own pride and wouldn’t be led around by Long Yan.

“Your strength is indeed greater than mine, but you’re not capable of dealing with me just yet.”

Long Yan was equally confident, Ruan Chengyu was not a threat to him.

Ruan Chengyu’s expression subtly changed.

Long Yan’s assertive attitude surprised him, as Long Yan was merely an Outer Sect Disciple, yet he wasn’t even giving him face.

If it weren’t for that person’s instructions, Ruan Chengyu would have really liked to make a move and suppress Long Yan’s sharp edge.

“I can’t tell you who wants to meet you, but I can tell you this much, he knows your identity and your purpose for entering the Blood Shadow Sect.”

Ruan Chengyu pondered for a moment before speaking to Long Yan.

That phrase was what that person had told him.

“Has the Shengdao Alliance really leaked the information to the Blood Shadow Sect?”

Long Yan’s eyebrows lightly furrowed, a sinister premonition arising in his heart.

It was clear that the other party was targeting him, seemingly leaving him no other choice.

If he did not go to the Blood Shadow Main Altar, the other party likely had other means to deal with him.

It seemed they were attempting diplomacy before resorting to force!

“Fine, I will go with you to the Blood Shadow Main Altar.”

After thinking it over, Long Yan decided to go to the Blood Shadow Main Altar.

Whether it be fortune or disaster, if it were disaster it couldn’t be avoided, perhaps the situation wasn’t as bad as he imagined.

“Let’s go!”

Right then, Ruan Chengyu took Long Yan and flew towards the Blood Shadow Main Altar, leaving the Outer Peak.

It took fully one day’s time for Ruan Chengyu to lead Long Yan through the Inner Peak and into the Blood Shadow Main Altar.

Ruan Chengyu, merely an Inner Sect Disciple, was not typically qualified to enter the Blood Shadow Main Altar, but he had a special token given to him by that person.

The Blood Shadow Main Altar, compared to the Inner Peak and Outer Peak, was much larger, with solitary peaks standing tall and neatly arranged, and was basically the training ground for core disciples.

At this moment, Ruan Chengyu and Long Yan appeared on the top of an isolated peak.

The peak had a giant square, with several grand halls standing tall, not appearing luxurious, but undoubtedly magnificent.

“Long Yan, you will cultivate here in the future.

That person will come to meet you.”

Ruan Chengyu said to Long Yan.

Having said that, Ruan Chengyu left.

“What does this mean?”

Long Yan felt puzzled inside, suddenly having an ominous premonition as if he had fallen into someone else’s trap.

“Forget it, what’s done is done.”

Unable to figure out what was going on anyway, Long Yan simply stopped thinking about it, entering one of the great halls to begin his cultivation.

………………

“Elder Yu, as per your arrangement, I have brought Long Yan to the Blood Shadow Main Altar.”

A sword peak stood in the clouds, halfway up the mountain; a grand hall built against the mountain, like a bright pearl embedded within it.

Inside the great hall, Ruan Chengyu stood respectfully.

Ahead of him, a fetching figure lay across a couch, her body draped by pink curtains.

“You didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have, right?”

A seductive, bone-melting voice came from behind the curtains, soft yet carrying an undeniable authority.

“Not a word.”

Ruan Chengyu replied, not even daring to lift his head to look at Elder Yu.

“You did well, here’s an Elixir as a reward.

Now get lost.”

An Elixir, whirling through the air with force, landed right in front of Ruan Chengyu.

Elder Yu had already issued an order to dismiss him.

“Thank you, Elder Yu.”

Ruan Chengyu pocketed the Elixir and, after bowing again, left the Great Hall dejectedly.

“Long Yan, Long Yan, you are now in my control.

What waves can you possibly stir?”

After Ruan Chengyu left, a faint voice echoed in the Great Hall.

The next morning, Long Yan was still in the midst of his cultivation when he was abruptly awoken.

“Kid, who are you?”

A black-clothed young man looked at Long Yan and demanded coldly.

Behind the black-clothed young man, more than ten youths followed, all fixing their menacing gazes on Long Yan.

“I am Long Yan, and who might you be?”

Long Yan inquired, sizing up the other.

The Cultivation Base of the black-clothed youth was not low—God King Level 1; his companions were mostly either True God Ninth Level or True God Tenth Level.

These were all core disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect, either exceptionally talented or from influential backgrounds.

“Why does the name Long Yan sound so familiar?”

The black-clothed youth’s gaze narrowed as he searched his memory.

“Are you the one from the Outer Door Peak who killed Guo Kun, that Long Yan?”

Suddenly, the black-clothed youth remembered.

A few days ago, he had inadvertently heard news that a new disciple from the Outer Door Peak had directly killed Guo Kun, the foremost among them.

When he learned this news, he was also shocked and took note of the name Long Yan.

“Indeed, that was me.”

Long Yan nodded.

“I hadn’t expected it, you don’t look remarkable, but your strength is notable.

How about this: follow me, Lan Yi, from now on, and I guarantee you the best of food, drink, and endless cultivation resources.

How does that sound?”

The black-clothed youth, also known as Lan Yi, carried an arrogant demeanor as he directly attempted to recruit Long Yan as his subordinate.

Having the ability to kill Guo Kun, attracting Long Yan as his subordinate would also bring Lan Yi glory.

“I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”

Long Yan, his expression unchanged, declined immediately.

Lan Yi was unmistakably the type of prodigal noble, and Long Yan would never stoop to serve such a person.

“Kid, don’t reject the face offered to you.

The Young Master Lan is honoring you by making you his follower; otherwise, what are you worth?”

A youth behind Lan Yi rebuked Long Yan.

Long Yan was just an Outer Sect Disciple and yet dared to refute Lan Yi’s offer, probably not wanting to live any longer.

“You can act as dogs if you wish; I, Long Yan, refuse to be one.”

Long Yan spoke, “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”

He could hardly bear to even look at these prodigal scions for another moment.

“Long Yan, I’m giving you a chance to reconsider.”

Lan Yi’s face turned frosty.

A mere Long Yan actually dared to disregard him completely; it was as if he was asking for trouble.

In this Blood Shadow Sect, how many would dare disrespect him, Lan Yi?

“I’m sorry, I don’t need it.”

Long Yan responded curtly, his attitude firm.

Regardless of how influential Lan Yi’s background was, his decision remained the same; he simply could not stand such dissipated individuals.
