Chapter 832 - Tailing the Divine Wind Faction
Long Chen guessed that the other party would take Wu Guangyu to either the Divine or Wind clan’s base to treat his injuries. Therefore, he decided to follow Wu Guangyu.
Out of the five main cities of the five districts, Giant Metal City was the closest to the Eternal Battlefield.
Long Chen followed their group, maintaining a connection with Xiaolang. This was how Xiaolang learned of Long Chen’s plan.
“Don’t worry, Big Brother. When the time comes, the bastard will die, and we won’t leave a single trace of him behind.” Although Xiaolang seemed like a peaceful person, he had a wolf-like quality in his heart, especially after he turned into the Sun Devouring Wolf. Wu Guangyu had made them suffer through many hardships, so Xiaolang would never forgive him for this.
With Xiaolang’s affirmation, Long Chen could rest easy.
Wu Guangyu’s condition gradually improved after the nourishment of many spiritual herbs. After a few days, he was mostly healed and his combat abilities were back to normal.
Despite that, Long Chen couldn’t find an opening to lure him out. The Divine and Wind clans were constantly traveling day and night. If Wu Guangyu suddenly disappeared, the others would surely be suspicious.
Looks like I’ve got to wait until they arrive in Giant Metal City. Long Chen was not in a hurry.
He was like a fierce tiger waiting for his prey to wander into his trap. He could not be impatient during this process, as impatience would only make him lose his chance to kill his prey.
Therefore, he continued to follow the party towards Giant Metal City.
Wu Guangyu had always thought of himself as the number one cultivator beneath the heavens, yet he had lost to Long Chen. Despite having recovered from his injuries, he still looked very depressed. Along the journey, he did not even utter a single sentence and his expression was terrifyingly solemn. Wu Guangyu was stronger than the elders themselves, so those experts did not dare talk to him. They could only hope that Feng Zhilin would make him open up.
Feng Zhilin’s words would surely be effective since she was his fiancee.
Under the elders’ persuasion, Feng Zhilin had no other choice. Admittedly, she was starting to fall for the young man, ever since he used the Azure Lotus Manual during the duel. The results did not matter, because in her eyes, he was already an extraordinary master.
She approached Wu Guangyu, bit her lip gently, and said in a tone filled with heartache, “I don’t know what Long Chen pulled in the end. I can’t believe he wasn’t hurt at all. I clearly saw your sword slash through his neck ...”
The young man whose eyes had always been filled with confidence looked beyond gloomy right now, like he had endured a huge blow.
“Is he ... an undying monster ...” Wu Guangyu finally said, but his expression was unnatural. It contained some pain, some disbelief, strong unwillingness, and fury.
“I don’t think he can use techniques like that often. If he really is a monster that cannot die, wouldn’t he be peerless? And if that were the case, you wouldn’t have been able to take away his pet beast,” Feng Zhilin said after thinking about their information on Long Chen.
“Sun Devouring Wolf ...” When Wu Guangyu heard the words “pet beast,” he glanced at Xiaolang behind him. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said fiercely in a low voice, “No way! I cannot admit defeat like that! I am still the number one prodigy of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory! How could I lose to a nameless character?! The Sun Devouring Wolf! This beast used to be his. Today, I will make his own pet kill him!”
After hurrying along for a few days, the Divine Wind Faction finally arrived in Giant Metal City. This was the Wind clan’s base.
The results of the Martial Youth Competition had spread across the whole Ancient Graveyard. Everyone now knew about Long Chen’s quick rise to power and how he had turned the tables to kill Wu Guangyu. The people of Giant Metal City naturally received news of this too.
It was difficult for everyone to accept this.
It was just way out of their expectations.
Before Wu Guangyu and the others returned, people had already been discussing the topic for a long time. Worried that it would hurt Wu Guangyu’s feelings, the high-ranked elders had briefed the clan that they were forbidden from mentioning the Martial Youth Competition.
As a result, when Wu Guangyu and the others returned, they were greeted with bright smiles. When Wu Guangyu saw that these people were not in intense discussions about his failure, and that they did not fault him for it, his tight nerves relaxed. He suddenly felt like that failure was not so serious after all.
Next time we meet, it will be the day I take your life ... Amidst the crowd’s cheers, Wu Guangyu clenched his fists slowly. If he could meet Long Chen alone, he would also bring Xiaolang.
I will defeat you with your former pet beast by my side. I will show you what it feels like to be killed by something you were once the closest to.
While he thought about this, Wu Guangyu did not know that Xiaolang was actually thinking about a method to lure him out.
Xiaolang knew that Long Chen was currently outside Giant Metal City, waiting for his chance.
Wu Guangyu and the others had arrived in the evening. Since Wu Guangyu was severely injured and needed to focus on recovering his essence, he had been left alone. He did not like to be disturbed anyway.
Night soon arrived.
Wu Guangyu was cultivating in his quarters, recovering his lost essence. He had replenished most of it during the past few days, but due to the previous failure, he was traumatized and would only be assured once he recovered to his peak state.
The essence of a Ninth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator surged to its peak in his body.
An azure lotus levitated in the air right before his eyes. It was the advanced Emperor-tier divine weapon, the Azure Lotus Sword!
Xiaolang was standing guard outside his quarters.
“It’s time to lure him out ...” Having received instructions from Long Chen, Xiaolang was prepared.
When Xiaolang was prepared to act, Feng Zhilin arrived. It had been days since she was able to take a bath, so she had cleaned herself thoroughly as soon as she arrived. She was wearing a long, snow-white dress with a hairpin in her hair, making her look beautiful. A fragrance wafted off her, making her seem like a goddess.
Since Feng Zhilin was here, Xiaolang was no longer in a hurry to act.
