Chapter 276: Chapter 269: The Mysterious Figure in the Black Robe

Long Chen slowly moved his gaze, his eyes landing on Yan Yiqiu.

But Long Chen strangely took no action, standing in place, unmoving.

Xuanyuan Yu’er ran to the front of Long Chen, grasping his hand, and cried inconsolably.

Yet at this moment, Long Chen’s body fell limp.

The Spiritual Power within him was also dispersing, vanishing at this moment.

His Power could no longer coalesce.

Because Long Chen’s Spirit Sea had shattered, all his Cultivation was about to leave him.

At the same time, Long Chen was hanging by a thread, his consciousness gradually blurring.

Seeing this, Yan Yiqiu, overcome with excitement, drew his sword and charged at Long Chen without any hesitation.

"How dare you."

Ye Zhiqiu’s face changed dramatically, he quickly stepped forward, and with one move, repelled Yan Yiqiu.

Yan Yiqiu’s gaze darkened. Sensing the strength of Ye Zhiqiu, he said gravely, "Ye Zhiqiu, Long Chen is your enemy. With him so powerful, his death would greatly benefit you and me. Why would you stop me?"

"His strength could be of great use to Great Xia. He may die on the world stage, but he must absolutely not die by the hands of a petty villain like you, Yan Yiqiu."

Ye Zhiqiu stated seriously.

"You..."

Yan Yiqiu raged, but he was powerless against Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu spoke sternly, "Princely Heir Yan, if you don’t leave now, I’m considering whether to execute you or not."

"Yan Yiqiu, as the Princely Heir of the Yan Royal Mansion, your scheming attack on Long Chen is truly despicable. We can’t stand to watch it happen."

"That’s right. If such a peerless talent of our Great Xia were to die because of you, you would certainly become infamous, but it certainly wouldn’t be a good reputation."

"Just scram."

Those masters who had not taken action were all staring at Yan Yiqiu.

Seeing this, Yan Yiqiu knew he had provoked the wrath of everyone.

Without any hesitation, he turned and stumbled down the mountain.

"Not good, his... his breathing is getting weaker. Who among you can save him? Please, I’m begging you, save Long Chen."

Xuanyuan Yu’er held Long Chen, shouting for help.

"I understand medicine, let me have a look."

Ye Zhiqiu crouched down.

"You’re not going to take advantage of him, right?"

Xuanyuan Yu’er was very wary.

"If I wanted to take advantage of him, I wouldn’t have stopped Yan Yiqiu just now."

Ye Zhiqiu said.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu’er relaxed her vigilance against Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu quickly examined Long Chen’s injuries, and after a moment, spoke bitterly, "His Dantian is shattered, and he forced himself to enhance his combat strength at the cost of his life. His head, internal organs are all severely damaged, and some meridians are also severely injured. I’m afraid..."

"Can you save him?"

Xuanyuan Yu’er asked urgently, her face deathly pale.

"I..."

Sss.

Before Ye Zhiqiu could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Madman suddenly thrust a dagger into Long Chen’s abdomen.

Blood immediately surged out, the scene gruesome.

"Ah!"

Xuanyuan Yu’er screamed in fright.

"Yu’er, he must die, he must die, haha, I killed him, I succeeded."

Xuanyuan Madman laughed wildly.

"Why don’t you go die?"

Xuanyuan Yu’er, enraged, kicked Xuanyuan Madman and sent him flying.

This was her own great-grandfather.

But in this second, Xuanyuan Yu’er couldn’t control herself, "Grandfather, don’t you realize, if it weren’t for Long Chen holding back earlier, you would’ve been dead by now, you would’ve died, ah, how could you still..."

"Quickly stop the bleeding."

Ye Zhiqiu frantically tore open Long Chen’s clothes.

For some reason, Ye Zhiqiu’s heart was in turmoil.

"A genius of his generation, fallen to such a state, it’s truly sad and lamentable."

At that moment, a cold voice came through.

Following that, from the heavens above, a mysterious figure shrouded in a black robe descended.

The moment he landed, the entire mountain seemed to tremble, and all the experts were pushed back several steps by the shock.

Everyone looked on in horror. Who was this person?

The gaze of the robed figure fixed directly on Long Chen.

His eyes were filled with barely concealed complexity.

A few seconds later, the robed figure spoke sternly, "Apart from Ye Zhiqiu and that girl, all the others, leave the area at once. You have one minute, and those who don’t leave will face death without mercy."

"Elder, we won’t start any trouble here, why must you—"

"Silence." With a wave of his sleeve from afar, the person who spoke was sent flying and tumbled down from the mountain.

Seeing this, the rest inhaled sharply.

They understood well that this was probably a being as fearsome as Long Chen, not to be provoked.

For a moment, the crowd dispersed hastily.

And with that, the Martial God Conference too came to its conclusion.

After watching everyone leave, the robed figure turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu and Xuanyuan Yu’er, who were surrounded by unease and fear.

"That girl, you’re called Xuanyuan Yu’er, right?" The robed figure stared at Xuanyuan Yu’er.

"Yes. Don’t you even think about hurting Long Chen. If you want to kill him, you’ll have to step over my dead body."

Xuanyuan Yu’er was terrified but stood her ground resolutely.

"You misunderstand. I won’t kill him. I’m here to tell you that Long Chen will become a cripple, and there’s no need for you to protect him so desperately. You barely know him, and you’ve already done enough as expected of a moral and righteous person. So, you should leave as well.

Oh, and the reason I didn’t ask you to leave with the others is precisely because of what you did. That’s why I’m telling you this separately." The robed figure spoke indifferently.

"I won’t leave, not even if I die."

Xuanyuan Yu’er gritted her teeth.

"Whether Long Chen lives or dies is uncertain at this point. I will take him away to attempt treatment. That place is not somewhere you should follow. But when you go back, you mustn’t divulge any information. If you do, your Xuanyuan Family will meet destruction," the robed figure warned solemnly.

After finishing speaking, without giving Xuanyuan Yu’er a chance to respond, he waved his hand, and a surge of powerful energy wrapped around Xuanyuan Yu’er and sent her flying down the mountain.

Merely this display revealed the extraordinary nature of the robed figure.

At the peak, only Ye Zhiqiu, the robed figure, and the unconscious Long Chen remained.

"Elder, why have you left me behind?" Ye Zhiqiu asked, keeping her gaze fixed on the robed figure.

The robed figure stretched out his hand, and a delicate golden box appeared in it.

He tossed the box to Ye Zhiqiu from afar, saying, "There’s an Elixir inside this box that can heal him, but once he’s healed, he will most certainly lose all his cultivation, and perhaps even his memory. I hope you can take care of him for a while, using any methods necessary to temper his temperament. Don’t hold back; I want to see a Long Chen whose character is tough to the point of faultlessness."

"You’re not Long Chen’s enemy, so who exactly are you?" Ye Zhiqiu asked, still intently watching the robed figure.

The robed figure turned away, pondered for a long time, and then said, "I am Long Chen’s father."

Boom. Ye Zhiqiu was shocked. So it turned out, he was Long Chen’s father.

But if he was the father, why would he treat his own son with such cruelty?

With such a high level of cultivation, why could he bear not to intervene when his son was in a critical state of life and death? Why?

She couldn’t understand, and even less could she accept it.

"Ye Zhiqiu, I’ve investigated you, and in my heart, you are the woman most qualified to be my son’s wife. I am entrusting the man to you for six months. His life and death are in your hands. If you wish to take revenge on him and kill him, you may. Do as you please.

Otherwise, if you can’t bring yourself to kill him, then temper him well for me. Whether it’s his martial arts foundation or his temperament, after six months, if you do not wish to truly marry him, I will compensate you and your family in other ways.

One last thing – keep today’s events a secret."

After saying this, the robed figure vanished in an instant.

A cultivation as such left Ye Zhiqiu’s heart pounding.

Disappearing in the blink of an eye, what kind of being was this?
