Chapter 856 – Sneaky Plans

Although they could not see her face, Wu Lian was undeniably perfect in all other aspects.

Unlike Ling Xi, this woman was a mother, and she was filled with the elegance of a mature woman. Her movements exuded endless grace, despite her looking so cold. However, coldness could be considered a kind of fire that men would fly towards like moths to a flame.

But Long Chen had killed her child.

After the Long-Bearded Guest spoke, everyone was waiting for Wu Lian’s response!

“How dare you!” Feng Qing scolded angrily, raising his eyebrow.

Wu Lian was known as the White Lotus Fairy in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, and she was like a saint. Although she had a son, she was still seen as a saint, and her husband’s identity was a mystery. There was a rumor that Wu Guangyu’s father was both a lucky and unlucky man. The rumors told of a famous and beautiful man who appeared in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. He was not strong, but he could compose poems and songs, and was a player among women. He was lucky because he became Wu Lian’s man, but he was unlucky because after she became pregnant, she killed him.

Her objective was to raise an extraordinary offspring to inherit her skills.

But Wu Guangyu had been killed by Long Chen!

Beneath Wu Lian’s calm and cold exterior lay a hidden, volcano-like force!

After she heard the Long-Bearded Guest, she immediately swung her White Lotus Sword, shooting a ray of snow-white sword light at him!

“If I hear another word like that, you will die!”

Her ice-cold voice filled every ear!

The Long-Bearded Guest dodged the snow-white sword light clumsily. At the same time, he diffused his threat because there was no chance Feng Qing would ask him for help again.

This showed how haughty this woman was.

She had not taken off her face veil even once since the beginning.

Long Chen, Lei Ji, and Bai Lan looked at each other and gave small sighs of relief. The issue that Feng Qing was trying to cause had been resolved.

No one dared to make the first move.

Suddenly, Ancestor Jin from the Five Elements Alliance said, “Lady Wu, the Five Elements Alliance will work with you to kill everyone else. What do you think?”

The Five Elements Alliance had four people, so with them, it would make six people!

Ancestor Jin had volunteered to collaborate with Wu Lian. This was extremely dangerous to Long Chen and the others!

There were many dangerous scenarios that couldn’t be avoided. Long Chen and the others remained calm when the Five Elements Alliance suggested working with Wu Lian.

But the Long-Bearded Guest was not calm. Wasn’t Ancestor Jin implying that he was going to be shunned? If they targeted Bai Lan, the Long-Bearded Guest would be next.

The Long-Bearded Guest had refused Wu Lian’s request, so she would surely not let him join their team.

In the face of absolute power, scheming was the way to win.

The Long-Bearded Guest immediately made his decision. He stood next to Bai Lan and said coldly, “If you guys want to work together to bully someone, I cannot stand by and watch. If we’re going to fight, I’m standing with Brother Bai Lan.”

With the addition of the Long-Bearded Guest, they were equal in terms of Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators but lacked two First Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators.

“Everyone, use your domains!”

The combination of three First Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators’ domains was almost as strong as the domain of a Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator. If Long Chen was trapped inside, he would easily be captured!

“You think you can trap me? In your dreams.” Long Chen chuckled and used Blood Warp. He used one-twentieth of his essence and immediately broke free from their trap, instantly getting to the other side of the tower. He disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

“Try catching me! Whoever catches me will receive a gift, which is a slap from me.” Long Chen’s laughter echoed ahead.

“That damn brat!” cursed the three patriarchs as they gave chase. Three arcs formed in the darkness as they shot off.

Their long robes flapped as their essence surged through their bodies.

When Bai Lan and Lei Ji saw that Long Chen was not trapped, they sighed in relief. Wu Lian placed her hopes on the three patriarchs. Whether her goal could be achieved depended on them.

Out of the four Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators, Bai Lan and Wu Lian were the only ones who had received inheritances from the Seven Lords. Although it was fully possible for Wu Lian to beat Bai Lan, it would still take a very long time. In short, if Wu Lian was number one, then Bai Lan was number two!

The Divine Demon Lord was a formidable presence among the Seven Lords!

On the other side, Lei Ji would never lose to Feng Qing, no matter what. They had fought countless times and both knew the other person’s tricks. Both of them fought cautiously.

Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest did not even move, but if one of them did, the other could never remain still.

“It’s best if you don’t move, or you will die here,” said Ancestor Jin arrogantly, raising his eyebrows.

“Hehe. I knew you’d place your hopes on the three patriarchs catching Long Chen. However, I doubt they’ll even be able to touch a hair on his head,” said the Long-Bearded Guest with a laugh.

“A coward who only runs cannot be considered a hero.” Ancestor Jin gave Long Chen a quick, contemptuous glance.

But running away wasn’t the only thing Long Chen did.

After using Blood Warp to increase the distance between him and them, Long Chen accelerated and ran as fast as he could. With the Seven Star Body’s help, he was slightly faster than the three of them. The first floor of the Black Bone Tower was so vast that they could not even catch him.

Long Chen and the three patriarchs started their cat-and-mouse game.

I need to separate them, thought Long Chen.

“Let me try.” Little Cat was very energetic. He peeked his little head out of the Primordial Realm. The closest person to Long Chen was the Water patriarch.

Little Cat cast the Dream Demon’s spell on him.

The Water patriarch saw Long Chen suddenly change directions.

“This way! Chase him!”

The Water patriarch quickly separated from the other two, but the two other patriarchs continued to run after Long Chen. They were very puzzled by the Water patriarch’s behavior.

“You’re next.” Little Cat chuckled and successfully made the next patriarch change directions, thus isolating them!

“Good one, Little Cat.” There was a cold flash in Long Chen’s eyes, then he suddenly turned around!

“Die!”
