Chapter 369: Chapter 359 How to Respond

Long Chen’s words were like a sudden enlightenment for Yang Taixuan.

He stood dumbfounded for a moment before bowing deeply, "I will benefit for a lifetime from these two pieces of advice from Lord."

Long Chen smiled and said, "It’s just a reminder, brother Yang, you must not take it too seriously."

"You’re being modest, Lord." Yang Taixuan replied, "Your words are like the ultimate truth to me. I will remember them for life before parting."

After bowing, Yang Taixuan immediately turned and walked away.

Long Chen was startled, then called out, "Hold on, I promised to help you. Aren’t you going to leave some way to contact you for future discussions? Or, if you need to find me?"

"No need." Yang Taixuan said with a smile, "There’s no need for contact between us; we’ll just wait for the opportune moment."

With that, Yang Taixuan walked away.

"He is indeed an interesting man."

A smile appeared on Long Chen’s face.

"This man is indeed very different from the others at Undying Mountain."

Long’er echoed.

"In the future, he may be a great partner for cooperation. Let’s see how it goes," Long Chen said.

"Let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you. How did you manage to memorize the Undying Scripture and even achieve its cultivation in such a short time? Can we do the same?"

Xia Ling, curious, her bright eyes shining.

"How should I answer your question?"

Long Chen tilted his head, pondering for a moment, then replied seriously, "Maybe it’s because I’m relatively handsome?"

"Get lost, narcissist. Answer the question seriously." Xia Ling grit her teeth.

Long Chen laughed and said, "There’s really no way to answer that; it’s probably innate talent. As for whether you can do it, I don’t know, but I will do my best to help you. When you can achieve the practices within the Undying Scripture, I can’t guarantee; after all, everyone has a different level of comprehension, and in this respect, I really can’t help you."

"My god, are you posturing? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death."

Xia Ling raised her fist, looking angry and aggravated.

"I’m just telling the truth," said Long Chen.

Long’er glanced at Xia Ling and said, "Talent is indeed innate. Unless one goes through Nirvana, changing one’s bloodline, it’s hard to see any major changes later on. It’s better to give up and take it slow."

Xia Ling was torn between laughing and crying.

The gap between individuals could really be vast.

Fortunately, this monstrous talent was her man; otherwise, she would feel seriously unbalanced.

...

Meanwhile, Yang Taixuan quickly returned to the hotel where the Undying Mountain’s Great Guardian and the others were staying.

When he appeared, the Great Guardian’s expression was cold, but he did not drive Yang Taixuan away.

After all, Yang Taixuan was an Elder-level figure in Undying Mountain. The threat he made earlier in anger about turning Yang Taixuan into a Loose Cultivator was just that—a heated remark. Truly driving him away was not within his authority; only the Mountain Master held that power.

"Yang Taixuan, you disrupted everyone’s fighting spirit. Do you understand your mistake?"

The Great Guardian asked in a deep voice.

"I understand my mistake," Yang Taixuan bowed his head and said, "The Great Guardian has taught me well; I should not have spoken so."

The Great Guardian raised his eyebrows, not expecting Yang Taixuan, who is usually so unbending, to submit.

He thought that Yang Taixuan would again stubbornly oppose him, and the Great Guardian had even thought about how to deal with him.

But Yang Taixuan’s submission caught the Great Guardian off-guard.

Yang Taixuan had guessed the Great Guardian’s thoughts accurately, then continued, "That Long Chen, upon reflection, is not to be feared. He is no match for our Undying Mountain, and once our reinforcements arrive, we can suppress him at any time."

"You’re right to have thought of this earlier," the Great Protector said with a smile. "I have already sent word back, and by tomorrow two protectors and an elder will rush to Qianzhou. Now that Long Chen has become the Lord of the Great Xia Mansion, he will inevitably become a stumbling block for us. Without crushing this stumbling block, we cannot carry out our business well, so Long Chen must die."

"It must succeed,"

Yang Taixuan said gravely.

Yet in his heart, Yang Taixuan felt that even with two more protectors and an elder, it would be very difficult to pose a real threat to Long Chen.

He had witnessed Long Chen’s terrifying aptitude; with such an extraordinary aptitude, his cultivation must be unfathomable.

The Great Protector would inevitably pay a heavy price for his arrogance.

But Yang Taixuan couldn’t be bothered to remind him again, choosing instead to echo the Great Protector.

The next day, as agreed, the experts from Undying Mountain arrived and met with the Great Protector to discuss how to suppress Long Chen.

On the other hand, Long Chen had long been aware of the arrival of experts from Undying Mountain in Qianzhou.

Because the newcomers, just like when the people of Undying Mountain’s Great Guardian first arrived, were extremely unruly, refusing to comply with registration, and instead forced their way into the city.

"Long’er, should we suppress those guys?"

Long Yi asked in a deep voice.

"No rush," Long Chen said. "Since they have come, they surely want to deal with our Great Xia Mansion, mainly me, so they will definitely come to us."

"What if they don’t dare to come?" Long’er asked.

"If they don’t dare to come, it’s not too late for us to find them. But from what I’ve observed, the people from Undying Mountain are extremely arrogant and will probably come. You go set up an ambush. Don’t arrange it inside the mansion, set it up two hundred meters outside," Long Chen instructed.

"Yes."

Immediately, Long Yi turned to carry out the task.

Long’er stood behind Long Chen and said softly, "It looks like a fierce battle is imminent."

"Has only the force of the Cultivation World from Undying Mountain been active recently?" Long Chen asked.

Long’er shook her head and said, "Not just Undying Mountain, many other forces are also moving in the shadows, but compared to Undying Mountain, they are much more low-key."

"Make a list, let me see which forces are involved,"

Long Chen said.

"Alright, it should already be available, I’ll go get it for you," Long’er replied.

"Go ahead."

...

In a short while, Long Chen obtained a document.

This document, recorded by the Great Xia Mansion’s Heavenly Net, contained various pieces of information about the cultivator forces.

Undying Mountain was also conspicuously on the list.

After Long Chen scrutinized the information, his brows furrowed.

"What’s wrong?"

Long’er asked quietly.

Putting down the document, Long Chen said softly, "Our Great Xia Mansion currently has a few hundred people. It seems like a lot, but with cultivator forces and cultivators spread all over the different regions of Great Xia, how should we deal with this situation?

If many forces like Undying Mountain, unmanageable and combative, were to emerge, wouldn’t we be stretched too thin?"

"This is a very realistic issue and difficult to solve. Our Great Xia Mansion is unlike ordinary departments; everyone who joins must possess extraordinary strength to survive and carry out their work,"

Long’er said gravely.

"You’ve reminded me," Long Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. "I know what to do now. We don’t need too many people; the few hundred we have are enough to handle it."

"What is the plan?" Long’er asked, curious.

"You’ll know in a moment," Long Chen said with a smile. "For now, go gather everyone. I want to have a proper talk with them all."
