Chapter 319: Chapter 310: The Return of Dragon Hunting Hall

Xu Fu had never imagined that, as a member of the Heavenly God Temple, he would one day feel so stifled, so subservient.

His heart was filled with reluctance.

But at the moment, for the sake of those Elixir Formulas, Xu Fu could only endure.

Watching Long Chen’s calm demeanor, showing no sign of disturbance, Xu Fu’s thoughts rapidly turned, and he said, "Mr. Long, you can truly rest assured that the Heavenly God Temple will absolutely not trouble you over the previous conflict. Those dead folks, whether Gao Qiu or anyone else, they all deserved their fate, just a bunch of trash."

"Oh, you mean that because that group of people couldn’t suppress me, they’re considered trash? You were hoping they could suppress me?" Long Chen asked.

"Absolutely not," Xu Fu hastily replied. "Mr. Long, how could I have such thoughts? If I did, I wouldn’t have come alone today, would I?"

"Get to the point, I don’t want to listen to your nonsense."

Long Chen spoke indifferently.

Xu Fu took a deep breath, then continued, "It’s the same as before, Mr. Long, our Young Master from the Heavenly God Temple indeed very much desires the Elixir Formulas from your company. If your company is willing to trade, you can set the conditions."

"What if I insist on not trading?"

Long Chen stared at Xu Fu.

Xu Fu replied, "If you insist on not trading, then of course, we have no other option."

"Then please return, I won’t trade."

Long Chen was straightforward, not beating around the bush.

Xu Fu was stunned.

He had not anticipated that, after going around in such a big circle, Long Chen would dismiss him with just that one statement.

"Mr. Long, actually, I didn’t come here to negotiate with you. I know I am not qualified to discuss such matters with you. It’s our Young Master who wants to meet with you," Xu Fu said.

"What’s your Young Master’s name?" Long Chen inquired.

"Our Young Master is named Yun Taiyi, the third son of the Hall Master of the Heavenly God Temple," Xu Fu said earnestly.

"Oh, if he wants to see me, then let’s meet. Just have him come to see me," Long Chen stated calmly.

Xu Fu was taken aback, Long Chen’s attitude made him extremely uncomfortable.

People from the Heavenly God Temple were not accustomed to being treated in such a manner.

There were very few who dared to ask the third son to come to them. Long Chen was the first.

If he agreed, it would be tantamount to acknowledging that the third son’s status was lower than his own.

If he didn’t agree, knowing Long Chen’s temperament, this conversation was likely to fall apart here and now.

"Mr. Long, how about this: You and our Young Master each travels half the distance, meet somewhere in the middle?"

After much consideration, Xu Fu could only ask with such caution.

"No."

Long Chen’s answer was very straightforward.

"But..."

"Leave." Long Chen simply used one word to cut off Xu Fu’s words.

Xu Fu’s face showed a subtle change, his heart was filled with extreme frustration.

But Xu Fu dared not erupt in anger, much less initiate a fight.

He stood up, suppressing his rage with a polite bow, then turned around and left.

Once Xu Fu had departed, Li Yuechan and the others looked towards Long Chen.

"Long Chen, this Xu Fu, and this Yun Taiyi, seem to be tough and ruthless characters," Xia Ling said seriously.

Long Chen was puzzled, "Why do you think so?"

"Because they can endure," Xia Ling replied. "Brutes are not to be feared, but it’s people like Xu Fu, who can endure what others cannot, like a sniveling dog; you never know when he’ll suddenly bite. It’s hard to guard against."

"We indeed need to be cautious," Long Chen agreed with a smile. "But there’s no need to be overly anxious, we’ll take it slow."

"Listening to Xu Fu, it seems that the person in charge in Qianzhou for the Heavenly God Temple is just the third son of the Temple Hall Master, the real main character hasn’t shown up," Zhao Churan said.

"We still don’t know exactly how formidable the Heavenly God Temple really is. Sister Xia, I think we still need to work out a way to focus on investigating them," Li Yuechan suggested.

"We’ve tried it before," Xia Ling said with a wry smile. "But we couldn’t find anything, nothing at all."

"I think..."

Shh.

Long Chen suddenly lifted a finger to his lips, signaling Li Yuechan to stop speaking.

Then, Long Chen’s gaze slowly shifted towards the office door.

He faced the closed office door and said indifferently, "Since you’ve come, don’t crouch at the door like a thief eavesdropping. You might as well come in and listen openly."

As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, Li Yuechan and the others were taken aback.

Right at that moment, the office door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe walked in.

This man’s robe was quite peculiar, with a dragon-slaying embroidery on the cuffs.

Long Chen noticed it immediately, but Li Xiu didn’t pay attention.

Xia Ling and the others also recognized at first glance that this man was not from the Dragon Shadow Group.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing in my Dragon Shadow Group? What about the people outside?"

Xia Ling asked seriously.

"Director Xia need not worry. They’ve just been knocked out by me, no one will lose their life,"

The man in the red robe replied with a light smile.

He spoke, but his gaze remained fixed on Long Chen.

"You, who exactly are you?"

Long Chen’s voice was calm.

The man in the red robe smiled and said, "Long Chen, you’ve had dealings with the power behind me in the past. Have you forgotten so soon?"

"What do you mean?" Long Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Flashing a brilliant smile, the red-robed man said, "Do you still remember the name ’Dragon Hunting Hall’? I come from the Dragon Hunting Hall."

Dragon Hunting Hall?

Long Chen’s brow furrowed, and suddenly, a flood of related memories surged in his mind.

It was like a key unlocking several locks of memory in rapid succession.

At that moment, Long Chen remembered many events.

In particular, the memories from the Peak of Kunlun emerged distinctly.

"Since we are enemies, how dare you intrude into my Dragon Shadow Group alone?"

Long Chen’s eyes darkened slightly.

The man in the red robe was not at all flustered and smiled, "Long Chen, the situation changes in the blink of an eye. The Dragon Hunting Hall no longer wishes to cooperate with the Yan Royal Mansion. The Yan King is not trustworthy. After much consideration, we believe it’s better to work with you. Only in this way can we stand tall in the midst of the upcoming turmoil."

"How amusing," Long Chen could not help but chuckle, "What makes you think I would cooperate with your so-called Dragon Hunting Hall?"

"The Dragon Hunting Hall has nine grandmaster level experts, and the Hall Master is even at the Martial God level. I believe that’s worthy enough to discuss a collaboration with you," the man in the red robe said earnestly.

"Is that all?" Long Chen laughed, "To tell you the truth, that’s still not enough for me to crush with a single finger."

Although he said that, for some reason hearing the name ’Dragon Hunting Hall’ made Long Chen feel distinctly uncomfortable, as if the enmity he had with them was deep.

The red-robed man was angered by Long Chen’s words and blurted out, "Long Chen, do you really think you’re still that great warrior from the Peak of Kunlun who could slaughter in all directions? Everyone knows now that you barely survived the nine deaths you faced at Kunlun, and you only just managed to live as a cripple. Stop bluffing here. If you don’t agree to work with the Dragon Hunting Hall, then you won’t be able to keep this large Eastern Dragon Shadow Group. I’ve heard that someone has been causing trouble for you frequently. Are you sure you can handle it? Haha."

The red-robed man laughed heartily, filled with mysterious confidence.

"Who said I paid with being a cripple? Where did this news come from?"

Long Chen stared at the man in the red robe.

The man’s face stiffened, then he looked evasive as he said, "Everyone is talking like this; the whole Martial Arts World is saying so."

"If you won’t tell me, today you will bleed to death here."

Long Chen said coldly.

As soon as Long Chen’s words fell, Xia Ling suddenly raised her hand, and her palm was filled with holy white light.

This was the first time Xia Ling had shown the power of a cultivator, startling the man in the red robe.

The man sensed a terrifying aura and immediately submitted.

"I’ll tell you, I’ll just tell you," he said, "A man who claimed to be a half War Immortal told us in the Dragon Hunting Hall that if we cooperated with you at this time in Qianzhou, it would ensure prosperity for five hundred years, so here we are."

"What’s the real name of this half War Immortal?" Long Chen pressed.

"I... I don’t know, I really don’t know. I only know that he’s an extremely terrifying being, that even the Hall Master of our Dragon Hunting Hall stands no chance against him. Without his guidance, we in the Dragon Hunting Hall would never have come to Qianzhou."

The man in the red robe whispered, his previous bravado now completely gone.

Long Chen took a deep breath, his expression somewhat complex.

It seemed that not only the Heavenly God Temple was keeping an eye on him but besides them, there must be other immensely terrifying beings somewhere, watching his every move.
