Chapter 383: Chapter 373: Attack

Long Chen returned to Great Xia Mansion to oversee the cultivation of seventeen individuals at a mysterious base.

These seventeen, under the careful tutelage of Long Chen, had reached a level that was not to be underestimated, though it was still far from enough.

However, it was foreseeable that in the future, these seventeen would become a formidable force that would make the entire world tremble.

Long’er stood beside Long Chen, looking at the seventeen individuals who had transformed completely, feeling a sense of gratification.

"It’s as if I’m watching seventeen suns slowly rise, full of promise for the future."

Long’er sincerely whispered to Long Chen.

"Hey, that reminds me of a perfect name," said Long Chen. "How about calling it Bright Hall? The sun represents light, and the seventeen suns of Bright Hall will shine brightly across all of Great Xia."

"That’s a good name indeed. Bright Hall, I think it’s quite fitting."

Long’er gave a thumbs up.

"Then it’s settled, that will be the name," Long Chen smiled.

"Yes, let’s go with that."

Long’er gave a gentle smile.

"Hey, have you guys noticed that our Hall Master is only this gentle and even smiles when she sees Brother Long? I always thought the Hall Master never smiled and was an ice beauty," someone whispered quietly.

"Don’t say that. She looks really beautiful when she smiles."

"Are you asking for death? Shut up already," another person said.

But by then, it was already too late.

With a stern face, Long’er commanded, "So you have this much free time? Ten thousand push-ups each, start now."

The crowd instantly gasped.

Ten thousand push-ups, that was terrifying.

All seventeen synchronously looked at Long Chen, hoping he would rescue them.

Long Chen gave a slight smile and said, "Gentlemen, ten thousand push-ups are also a form of rare cultivation. Start now; cultivate your power as you proceed. Unexpected benefits might arise."

Hearing this, the seventeen were on the verge of tears.

Especially those who were dragged in innocently, they looked utterly dejected.

"Long’er, let’s go outside."

Long Chen took Long’er’s arm.

"Hmph, you’re hoping they won’t have to do it once we go out, aren’t you? You’re just favoring them."

Long’er glared at Long Chen.

"That’s absolutely not the case; they wouldn’t dare slack off."

Long Chen said.

"If they slack off, then you’ll have to do it for them, ten thousand for each person and seventeen people in total. I can’t do the math, but you’ll have to do them all."

Long’er crinkled her nose.

Lately, Long’er had become much livelier in front of Long Chen than before.

Such changes made Long Chen rather pleased.

Together, they walked out of the secret base to the external cultivation field.

Here, Xia Ling and others were cultivating earnestly.

Seeing Long Chen arriving, Xia Ling signaled him to go and check on Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan was there with a paler face, not due to cultivation strain but seemingly agitated and restless.

Immediately, Long Chen squatted by Li Yuechan’s side, "Yuechan, what’s wrong? Are you troubled by something?"

"Husband, I...."

Boom.

Before Li Yuechan could finish speaking, a sudden explosion was heard from outside.

Long Chen turned his head to see that the gate of Great Xia Mansion had collapsed.

Seeing the abnormal situation, Long Chen immediately rushed outside without waiting for Li Yuechan to speak.

Upon arriving, Long Chen saw a woman in plain clothes, standing with a sword, her profound eyes like the cosmic starry sky, seemingly harboring infinite divine power.

"Are you the disciple of Sword Martial Immortal, Qing Zhi?"

Long Chen stared at her.

"Yes."

Qing Zhi nodded.

At this time, Xia Ling and others also rushed out.

Qing Zhi glanced over and calmly said, "So many women? It seems you are indeed quite the charmer."

"It seems you have no concern," Long Chen smiled. "If you don’t mind, you could join in as well."

"Perhaps in your next life after you die and are reborn, I might consider it."

Qing Zhi spoke indifferently,

"You’re a bit too arrogant. Our Long Chen doesn’t even care for someone like you."

Xia Ling replied disdainfully,

"Looking to die."

Suddenly, Qing Zhi slashed his sword towards Xia Ling.

Boom.

This strike, like a thunderous explosion, was utterly terrifying.

Apart from Long Chen, everyone felt their scalp tingle.

Long Chen hurriedly intervened, blocking Qing Zhi’s sword energy with his palm.

The moment he touched the sword energy, even Long Chen felt a piercing pain in his palm, and blood flowed out.

Long Chen didn’t hide it; instead, he lifted his hand, looked at it, and, far from angry, he smiled, "Interesting."

After speaking, Long Chen turned his back.

While backing away, Long Chen utilized the Undying Technique he had learned from Undying Mountain, and his wound quickly healed.

"I thought your hand would be severed directly, but it seems I still underestimated you,"

Qing Zhi said coldly.

"Do you want to fight today?" Long Chen asked.

"Since I’m here, I must fight you to avenge my worthless disciple who died,"

Qing Zhi replied.

"Please, let’s fight inside Great Xia Mansion."

Long Chen suggested.

"Fine."

Qing Zhi sheathed his sword and fearlessly stepped into Great Xia Mansion.

Long Chen smiled slightly and was about to follow Qing Zhi inside when suddenly a chill ran down his spine.

Then, with a swish, a sword pierced directly through his abdomen.

The person who struck was Li Yuechan.

Long Chen struggled to turn his head and saw that Li Yuechan’s eyes had turned gray and white, as if possessed.

Others were also stunned, utterly in disbelief.

Why would Li Yuechan suddenly stab Long Chen?

Why?

Li Yuechan’s lips curled into a sinister smile, "Everyone says it’s hard to kill you, but I think it’s not difficult at all."

With these words, the crowd was shocked.

Li Yuechan’s voice had turned into a man’s voice.

Swish.

She violently withdrew her sword, and as the sword was pulled out, a stream of blood spurted out.

Long Chen’s body wobbled, nearly collapsing.

Just as Li Yuechan was about to strike a second time, Long Chen rapidly extended his hand, seizing Li Yuechan’s wrist.

When Xia Ling and others reacted and were about to attack Li Yuechan, Long Chen stopped them, "Don’t hurt her; someone is controlling her, using her to kill me."

After saying this, Long Chen exerted a slight force, causing the sword in Li Yuechan’s hand to drop to the ground.

He also reached out a finger and pointed it at Li Yuechan’s brow.

Boom.

Instantly, a black shadow flew out from Li Yuechan’s body, condensing into a vague human shape in the air.

Li Yuechan immediately fainted, unconscious.

Long Chen quickly operated the Undying Technique to control his injury and begin healing.

The Undying Technique was truly extraordinary. In such a situation, it firmly stabilized Long Chen’s injury, which also began to heal at a steady pace.

"Who are you?"

Long Chen looked towards the black figure in the air with icy eyes.

The black figure was extremely blurry, its face indistinguishable.

It let out a strange, cackling laugh, "Boy, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to have mastered this supreme skill from my Undying Mountain. Whomever the traitor is, I’ll definitely find him. Just wait, you’ll surely die by my hands, hahaha."

He laughed wildly as his figure dispersed into thin air.

This was just a decoy!

"This person must be the Master of Undying Mountain. Qing Zhi, oh Qing Zhi, I thought you came here alone, but it turns out you brought reinforcements."

Long Chen glared at Qing Zhi, his voice deep.

This intriguing woman suddenly seemed uninteresting in Long Chen’s eyes.
