Chapter 373: Chapter 363 Ning Xianzhi

The two protectors must have been seething with fury.

Yet Long Chen’s aura was too strong, and being outside the Great Xia Mansion, the two protectors from Undying Mountain dared not act rashly.

"Lord Long, please be mindful of your actions."

After dropping these words, the Second Guardian turned and walked away.

The Third Guardian, without uttering a word, followed suit.

Yang Taixuan, with a meaningful glance at Long Chen, also took his leave.

"Wait."

Suddenly, Long Chen spoke up.

The already departing crowd was startled.

"Lord Long, is there... is there anything else?"

Yang Taixuan turned and asked.

His gaze flickered through several changes in an instant.

Long Chen said indifferently, "There are quite a few corpses of your people from Undying Mountain here. Don’t you plan to take them with you?"

"Uh, yes."

Yang Taixuan replied bitterly.

"Remember to clean up properly for me; I like things to be clean and tidy,"

Long Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing these words, everyone, except for Yang Taixuan, began to breathe heavily.

But they could do nothing to Long Chen.

With arms folded, Long Chen watched intently as the people from Undying Mountain carried away corpses and cleaned up. Only after everything was finished did Long Chen walk back into the Great Xia Mansion.

On the other side, after the people from Undying Mountain returned to the hotel, the atmosphere was so oppressive that not a single person spoke.

After an indefinite amount of time, Yang Taixuan could no longer hold his silence, saying, "Gentlemen, there’s no need for dejection. After all, the Great Xia Mansion was established under superior orders, so it’s understandable that Long Chen is a bit arrogant."

"Do you have any suggestions by saying this?" the Second Guardian immediately asked.

Yang Taixuan nodded and said, "Second Guardian, I feel that there is no need for us to fall out with the Great Xia Mansion. We can try to truly make peace with them. With the support of the Great Xia Mansion, why should we worry about not being able to establish a thriving enterprise in the bustling city?"

"Nonsense," the Second Guardian said sternly. "Dozens of our people from Undying Mountain have been killed by Long Chen. How could we possibly reconcile with him over this grievous blood feud? It’s surely a fight to the death.

Long Chen must also be aware of this, so he will never allow us to rise in the city. Elder Yang, you are smart, but sometimes you are a bit too naïve. Sometimes, some things are better left unsaid, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist."

"So what does the Second Guardian suggest?" Yang Taixuan asked.

After a moment of contemplation, the Second Guardian said with a sinister look, "I think we can’t just force our way in, we need to find another approach. Since we can’t defeat Long Chen by force, we should use other methods, such as kidnapping someone close to him and using that as leverage."

"We absolutely cannot do that," Yang Taixuan hastily interjected. "I’ve checked, in the past someone tried that, but the outcome was very tragic. This is Long Chen’s sore spot, please rethink this, Second Guardian."

"Just shut up," the Third Guardian scolded. "As of now, this is the only path we can take. Elder Yang, don’t forget, we’ve already lost dozens of men in Qianzhou. If we don’t quickly find a way to suppress Long Chen, once word reaches the Mountain Master, none of us will end well."

Hearing this, Yang Taixuan instantly fell silent.

But in his heart, Yang Taixuan still felt these people were not much smarter than the Great Protector.

What to do against the Great Xia Mansion?

Why must they oppose the Great Xia Mansion?

If they win, they’ll catch the attention of those higher up in Great Xia.

If they lose, at worst they’ll be annihilated and cleansed by Long Chen, at best they’ll lose face.

Why insist on going against the heavens in such a no-win situation?

"You all seem hesitant; doesn’t seem like you can really handle it."

Suddenly, an unexpected voice came in.

"Who?"

The Second Guardian and the others immediately tensed up.

"I’m right here."

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a man stood suspended in the air.

The man, in a white robe with white hair flying wildly, held a black War Blade in his hand, looking like an Ancient War God descending to the world.

"Second Guardian stared at the newcomer, and his face changed dramatically as he said, "White hair, black gold blade, are you the Hall Master of Heavenly God Temple?"

"You’ve got some discernment, indeed, I am the Hall Master of Heavenly God Temple, Ning Xianzhi," he said coldly.

Following that, Ning Xianzhi stepped forward, his figure silently passing through the solid glass and entering the hotel room, the glass remaining completely intact.

This was the long-lost Wall-Passing Technique of the Cultivation World, reappearing with Ning Xianzhi.

Second Guardian performed a respectful salute, then promptly asked, "Has Hall Master Ning already been in Taiqian State for some time?"

"I’ve been here a few days," Ning Xianzhi said somberly. "My Heavenly God Temple’s nine Great Elders were killed, my two sons, Ning Shenji and Ning Shenhua, also disappeared without trace in Qianzhou. All this was done by that little beast Long Chen. After searching for days without finding a clue, I’ve come to seek your aid. I’d like to inquire whether we can collaborate to deal with Long Chen."

"We can, of course we can," the Second Guardian said excitedly. "With Hall Master Ning joining, we need not fear that little beast. Even in a direct and bloody battle, we will not be afraid."

"No, no, no," Ning Xianzhi waved his hand. "Do not underestimate Long Chen, you must be cautious. That little beast’s cultivation is by no means inferior to mine. Aren’t you planning to capture someone close to him? Go ahead with that plan, make your move as soon as possible and do not delay. Once you have captured the person, make good use of them."

"My lords, I still think we should not capture her," Yang Taixuan hastened to say.

"Is this man an Elder of Undying Mountain? He has no backbone. I suggest you detain him first to prevent him from ruining the plan," Ning Xianzhi said indifferently.

"Let’s follow Hall Master Ning’s words and detain Yang Taixuan," said the Third Guardian immediately.

"What are you standing around for? Capture him," Second Guardian also said without hesitation.

Immediately, several people approached Yang Taixuan, but they were still hesitant about whether to actually capture him or not.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Taixuan said, "Fine, I’ll go into confinement myself."

After he had left, Ning Xianzhi said, "Gentlemen, don’t just stand there. Get moving. I will wait here. Bring the person you capture to this hotel."

...

In the blink of an eye, the time reached five in the afternoon.

After school, Little Unrivaled did not go home; instead, she skipped joyfully to the foot of the Dragon Shadow Group building to call Li Yuechan.

"Yuechan, I’m here. Come on down, quick, if we’re too late the cake shop will close and we won’t be able to buy anything," Little Unrivaled urged.

"How many times have I told you, you should call me Sister Yuechan? And usually, you hate Zhuge Xuan the most, why are you thinking of celebrating her birthday? You really are a pair of love-hate frenemies. Wait for me, I’ll be right down,"

"Okay, do hurry," Little Unrivaled hung up the phone.

At this moment, more than a dozen yards away, a black commercial van was crammed with about a dozen people.

These people were the Second Guardian, Third Guardian, and others from Undying Mountain.

"This little girl is suspected to be Long Chen’s daughter. Let’s capture her. Go ahead," the Third Guardian said gravely.

"Hold on," the Second Guardian interjected: "More people will be coming down. It’s better to capture two than one. Let’s wait with patience."

"Well reasoned. Look at the state of my mind," the Third Guardian laughed sheepishly.

Moments later, Li Yuechan came out and met up with Little Unrivaled.

The people from Undying Mountain fixed their eyes on Li Yuechan, completely captivated.

"Such long legs."

"That figure is unrivaled."

"Exquisite."

"After we capture her, I want to enjoy her tonight. Long Chen’s woman really is alluring," the Third Guardian’s eyes gleamed.

"We can make our move now. Take her, and make it quick. Let’s have a swift victory to avoid complications," Second Guardian ordered.

No sooner had he spoken than everyone in the van swiftly got out, striding decisively toward Li Yuechan and Little Unrivaled.
