Chapter 6191 - Tianfeng Valley

At the outskirts of the Land of the Fallen Emperor, there is an ancient city, the closest city to this mysterious land. Initially almost half-abandoned, the emergence of the Land of the Fallen Emperor turned it into a hot spot, coveted by various major forces. This ancient city is now a mix of dragons and snakes, controlled by many factions, resulting in chaotic management and frequent conflicts. However, as it is the nearest city to the Land of the Fallen Emperor, equipped with teleportation arrays, adventurers still flock here. Within the ancient city lies a business firm called the Longteng Firm, the largest in the area and one of the powers behind the control of this city. In a luxurious private room within the Longteng Firm, Long Chen, clad in a black cloak, sits facing Qian Duoduo. "Boss, is it really you?" Qian Duoduo exclaimed with surprise after setting up several layers of restrictions. Long Chen pulled down his hood, revealing his true face: "Brother, I owe you this time." Long Chen felt a chill at the thought that if Qian Duoduo hadn't secretly relayed the information, Yue Xiaoqian and the others might have met their demise. "Boss, there's no need for thanks. The Longteng Firm secretly colludes with the Brahma Pill Valley, but can only operate behind the scenes. My capabilities are limited and I couldn't support Sister Xiaoqian, luckily you came, boss. By the way, boss, the information I received stated that the Brahma Pill Valley mobilized countless allies, with nearly a hundred experts above the Emperor's Third Heaven, and even rumored that a divine son-level expert might descend. But later, there was no news, and I've been worried sick," Qian Duoduo said. Due to the recent development of this ancient city and the covert struggles among the major forces, he was sent here to consolidate the Longteng Firm's position. When Yue Xiaoqian and others entered the Land of the Fallen Emperor, the Brahma Pill Valley immediately ordered the Longteng Firm to cooperate. As the top leader here, Qian Duoduo knew many details. After relaying the information, he realized the terrifying scale of the Brahma Pill Valley, and at that moment, his heart was in his throat. However, the Longteng Firm was then swarmed with terrifying experts, and he dared not send further messages to Long Chen, only praying for him in secret. "Everything's been resolved," Long Chen smiled slightly. Hearing Long Chen's response, Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, visibly more relaxed. "Buzz buzz..." At this moment, a jade tablet in Qian Duoduo's hand flickered. Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "The Brahma Pill Valley has sent another order. They really treat the Longteng Firm like a dog. Boss, wait a moment, I'll see what new tricks they're up to." Long Chen nodded. After Qian Duoduo left, Long Chen took a sip of tea, amused by the thought that among the brute fighters of the Dragonblood Legion, there was actually a businessman. Qian Duoduo soon returned, excitedly saying, "Boss, you're incredible. You actually fought with Fan Ji?" Long Chen smiled slightly, "The news just got out?" Qian Duoduo said, "The Brahma Pill Valley reported that the divine son Fan Ji personally made a move... um..." "Just follow what the message says," Long Chen laughed. Qian Duoduo, somewhat embarrassed, said, "The message says that the divine son Fan Ji defeated you within three moves, but ultimately, you managed to escape. However, being able to face the divine son Fan Ji directly is already remarkable. After all, he's the Hundred Flame Divine Seedling." Long Chen widened his eyes in disbelief, "That's what their report says?" Qian Duoduo was taken aback by Long Chen's reaction, quickly realizing something was off. He took out a recording jade and activated it, revealing scenes of Long Chen and Fan Ji's duel. The footage mostly showcased Fan Ji's divine prowess, with sparse clips of Long Chen appearing suppressed, ending with a shot of Long Chen's retreating figure. "Damn, impressive!" Long Chen couldn't help but express admiration after viewing the segment. "Boss, what exactly happened?" Qian Duoduo asked. "Nothing much, this recording jade has been edited. In reality, neither Fan Ji nor I gained any advantage in that battle. By the way, did they mention anything about the old guys from the Qin Sect and the Painting Sect being killed?" Long Chen asked. "Boss, you killed them? Those are terrifying existences. From the information I got, in the Emperor's Third Heaven, they were nearly unmatched," Qian Duoduo said with wide eyes, shocked. Hearing Qian Duoduo's reply, Long Chen instantly understood that the Brahma Pill Valley had hidden the truth, whether out of pride or some other reason, it was unknown. "They're hiding your strength, boss. They must have ill intentions. I get it, they want to encourage more people to challenge you and stir up hatred," Qian Duoduo said, slapping his thigh. "How so?" Long Chen asked. "The Brahma Pill Valley's slander and exaggerated praise of you, boss, never stops. On one hand, they hail you as the number one of the human race, inciting jealousy among countless geniuses. On the other hand, they smear you, claiming you're the Nine Star Heir, the root of the world's destruction, and that your massacres aren't to protect humans but to muddy the waters of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. They paint you as a great villain. This way, wherever you go, you'll encounter countless brainless challengers, constantly. They deliberately hid the news of you killing Emperor's Third Heaven experts to ensure those brainless folks keep challenging you. They know you're decisive in battle, drawing more hatred, making you a target for everyone," Qian Duoduo analyzed. Long Chen nodded, agreeing with Qian Duoduo's analysis, which indeed matched the Brahma Pill Valley's usual style. "By the way, boss, I also gathered some news about your father," Qian Duoduo said. The Dragonblood Legion soldiers were closer than brothers, so they referred to Long Chen's father as such too. "Father is currently rallying all the Zixue lineage, establishing the second holy land of the Zixue Clan in Tianfeng Valley. It's said to be the ancestral land of a large branch of the Zixue Clan. Father's move is to protect the scattered Zixue Clan members across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Reliable sources say that father single-handedly stormed a secret base of the Life Hunting Clan, beheaded their Emperor's Fifth Heaven leader, and hung the head on the city gate. He declared that anyone who dares to attack the Zixue Clan will pay in blood, tooth for tooth. Now, Zixue Clan experts from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are rushing to Tianfeng Valley," Qian Duoduo said, his face full of excitement at Long Zhantian's deeds. This father-son duo was truly formidable. Long Chen smiled, realizing that his parents had begun taking action. Only by doing so could more clan members be protected, otherwise, the Zixue Clan would be picked off one by one. Moreover, the future would only become more chaotic, so gathering the Zixue Clan early was the best strategy. Long Chen couldn't stay here long, so after reminding Qian Duoduo to take care of himself, he left him with a Dark Blood Evil Orchid. After all, clients worthy of Qian Duoduo's personal attention must have enough value, otherwise, suspicion could arise, especially since Qian Duoduo had many opponents within the Longteng Firm constantly monitoring him. When Long Chen took out the Dark Blood Evil Orchid, Qian Duoduo was startled, finding the item too precious to be given cheaply to the Longteng Firm. Long Chen, however, laughed, telling Qian Duoduo to think bigger, as more would be taken from the Longteng Firm in the future. Leaving the Longteng Firm, Long Chen donned his hood, concealing his face, and headed towards the teleportation array. However, just as he reached the array, he saw a large group hurriedly rushing into it, tossing a small bag to the guardian before activating the array themselves. "The Fusion Beast Clan?" Long Chen was surprised, and in a flash, dashed into the array just as it was about to close.
