Chapter 376: Chapter 366 Ximen Wuhen

Ning Xianzhi’s face twitched uncontrollably, never having imagined Long Chen would be so resolute.

Long Chen stared at Ning Xianzhi and said calmly, "You come empty-handed and with smooth talk, you expect me to release your two sons? Who do you think you are?"

"Lord Long, I, Ning Xianzhi, have never lowered myself so humbly before."

Ning Xianzhi clenched his teeth so hard they almost shattered.

"What does that have to do with me? If you don’t kneel today, your sons will slowly walk into hell, understand?"

Long Chen smiled.

"You... are you truly determined to do this?"

Ning Xianzhi clenched his fists.

"By now, they probably already started, cutting off arms."

Long Chen said.

However, as soon as the words left Long Chen’s mouth, Ning Xianzhi still showed no sign of intending to kneel.

Ding.

At that moment, Long Chen received a message.

After looking at it, it was a video from the City Lord Mansion.

In the video, the miserable Ning brothers, one of them had already lost an arm, their screams piercingly sharp.

Ning Xianzhi heard this scream too.

For a moment, Ning Xianzhi’s complexion turned extremely ashen.

From this moment on, Ning Xianzhi completely realized that the man before him, Long Chen, this very young man, was someone who meant what he said, a ruthlessly decisive person.

"Lord Long, what must I do for you to let my sons go?"

Ning Xianzhi asked in a deep voice.

"I said it before, if you kneel and beg for mercy, I will let them go, but now the price has increased. You not only have to kneel, but also kowtow. You have thirty seconds to consider, after thirty seconds, I’ll have another of your son’s arms removed."

Long Chen said sternly.

"Is there really no other way?"

Ning Xianzhi asked.

"No other way, thirty seconds are almost up."

Long Chen said with finality.

"I kneel."

Ning Xianzhi said between gritted teeth.

Immediately thereafter, with a thud, Ning Xianzhi knelt down.

At this instant, Ning Xianzhi’s eyes reddened.

He hadn’t knelt before anyone for fifty years.

Even when sweeping the graves of his ancestors, he never knelt because his pride convinced him that even his ancestors were not his equals and unworthy of his kneeling.

But now, for his two sons, Ning Xianzhi knelt.

"Kowtow and confess."

Long Chen spoke indifferently.

"Lord Long, I’ve already knelt."

Ning Xianzhi said word by word.

"It seems you still don’t want your sons to live."

Long Chen made a gesture to make a call.

"I will kowtow."

Ning Xianzhi hastily said and then began to kowtow.

Thump, thump.

He kowtowed again and again, each time turning a shade paler.

This scene was fully recorded by Xia Ling with a camera.

After Ning Xianzhi had kowtowed thirty times, Long Chen had walked over to where Ning Xianzhi was.

Just as Ning Xianzhi raised his head, Long Chen’s palm pressed against Ning Xianzhi’s forehead.

Ning Xianzhi’s heart tightened, he made no move, nor dared to make any move.

Because Ning Xianzhi felt, since Long Chen had threatened him to kneel, he probably wouldn’t strike.

But as soon as Ning Xianzhi had this thought, Long Chen suddenly exerted his strength.

Bang.

Ning Xianzhi felt the world spin around him and fainted instantaneously.

Long Chen then quickly made a move, crippling Ning Xianzhi’s cultivation.

Afterward, Long Chen made a phone call to the City Lord Mansion, asking them to send over Ning Shenhua and Ning Shenji.

In about fifteen minutes, the two brothers, Ning Shenhua, were brought before Ning Xianzhi.

Long Chen also performed a spell to wake Ning Xianzhi up.

Upon sensing that his cultivation was gone, Ning Xianzhi was completely dumbfounded.

So much so that when the Ning Shenhua brothers called out to him, he didn’t respond at all.

"Old man, I am a merciful person. I do not enjoy fighting or recklessly killing, so I’m sparing your family’s lives. From now on, fend for yourselves."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"You... you actually crippled my cultivation, how dare you do that to me."

Ning Xianzhi howled in agony.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Long Chen stared at Ning Xianzhi.

He felt that there was more to Ning Xianzhi’s words.

Sure enough, Ning Xianzhi then shouted loudly, "My mentor is Ximen Wuhen, the Sword Martial Immortal of Martial Immortal City. By crippling my cultivation, you show no respect to him. He will come for you; he will surely seek vengeance on my behalf."

"Hmm, you may leave now."

Long Chen waved his hand dismissively, utterly unconcerned.

Such an attitude made Ning Xianzhi so furious he coughed up blood and fainted once again.

"If you don’t want to die, then take your father and get out."

Long Chen said to the Ning Shenhua brothers.

The two brothers, already scared out of their wits, quickly lifted up Ning Xianzhi and hurriedly left the place.

"Mr. Long, we’ll head back now."

The people from the City Lord Mansion who brought the Ning Shenhua brothers bowed to Long Chen.

"You have worked hard. Go on back."

Long Chen said.

As the City Lord Mansion’s people left, Long Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thus, the threat of the Heavenly God Temple was eliminated.

But having destroyed the Heavenly God Temple, Long Chen couldn’t let his guard down just yet because of Undying Mountain.

"Ning Xianzhi just said his mentor is Ximen Wuhen, the Sword Martial Immortal. Long Chen, I think we should not take this lightly. Should we look into it?"

Ning Xianzhi asked.

"We should check it out." Long Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "More and more cultivators are emerging; this era is truly changing."

"No need to check, I know."

Long’er spoke softly, "I know Ximen Wuhen."

"Oh? Let’s hear it."

Long Chen and Xia Ling both turned to Long’er with great curiosity.

Long’er took a deep breath, then said, "Ximen Wuhen is known as the Sword Martial Immortal. His swordmanship is nearly that of the Immortal Path. He has lived in Martial Immortal City for seventy years, but for a long time before that seventy years, there were many legends about Ximen Wuhen.

One of those legends says that a hundred years ago, Ximen Wuhen appeared during the civil strife in Great Xia. However, he did not lend a hand to Great Xia; instead, he killed a major figure in Great Xia’s military, causing quite a stir for offending him. The incident was mysteriously suppressed, and only a very few people knew about it...

Later, Ximen Wuhen entered Martial Immortal City, lived a reclusive life, and kept a very low profile, appearing only now and then. But each time he appeared, a significant figure fell; it was quite terrifying.

I heard this from my grandfather; I never expected that after more than a hundred years, he’s still alive. He’s practically a living history book."

"What realm is Ximen Wuhen? Did grandfather ever mention it?" Long Chen inquired.

"No." Long’er said with a wry smile, "But someone who has lived for over a hundred years must have a high realm, to say he’s a living Immortal would not be an exaggeration."

"Hmm, to live more than a hundred years and not die is indeed extraordinary. However, there’s no need to be afraid. Once I’ve dealt with Undying Mountain, I’ll pay this Ximen Wuhen a visit," Long Chen said softly.

"What if Undying Mountain and Ximen Wuhen attack at the same time?" Xia Ling frowned, "Undying Mountain took such a big hit in Qianzhou, they definitely won’t let this go."

"No matter, if one comes, I kill one; if two come, I kill them both. I’ll reduce Undying Mountain and the Heavenly God Temple to nothing but a leader without an army."

Long Chen was deadly serious, his killing intent evident.

Since he had embarked on this path, no matter how powerful the enemies were, he would prevail.

If the enemies did not die, he would be the one to fall; he would not show mercy.
