Chapter 401 - The First PrinceBiyang Royal City.
After over a hundred days, Long Chen once again saw the Biyang Royal City. This majestic jade green city did not change at all due to the changes in time. On the city walls, on the city walls, on the buildings, the jade jade was s.h.i.+ning with a dreamlike light under the sunlight, turning the Biyang Royal City into a city of immortals.Long Chen stood one thousand meters away from the Biyang Royal City, looking at the endless stream of people outside the city gate. This time, he had to pa.s.s through this city, but before that, he had to go to another place.
"Let"s go, Xiao Xi. I will go to the Inverse Wonderland right now and take out the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit s. Only after I have given you your body back will I be able to focus on dealing with the royalty." After Long Chen finished speaking, he left the Biyang Royal City and headed towards the direction of the Inverse Wonderland.
"Brother Chen, do you really want the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit?" Ling Xi asked somewhat nervously."Eh? What do you mean by that? After going through so much suffering from coming to this Biyang Royal City from the Source Spirit City, isn"t it like we want to obtain the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit? " Long Chen was startled, and asked curiously.
"It"s nothing. I was just afraid that you"d get hurt." Ling Xi hid his emotions and tried to hide it. This point was something that Long Chen did not notice."Don"t worry, here, the only person who can suppress me is the Sword Emperor of Heavenly Completion Stage. Even if it"s him, I can still save my life, and with the Sword Emperor in Biyang Royal City, I"ll cause a ruckus in the Inverse Wonderland. He won"t be able to make it here in time." Long Chen laughed and said.
Ling Xi was speechless now. In fact, what she was worried about was not the issue of Long Chen"s safety, but whether or not she should use the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit.
"Forget it, let"s first let Brother Chen obtain the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit and understand his wish before deciding whether or not to use it. After obtaining the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit, I will confess to Brother Chen. I hope he won"t blame me for that," Ling Xi said bitterly in his heart.
Therefore, Long Chen chatted idly with Ling Xi as he walked in the direction of the South Central City. He had only been there once, but the route in his head was still familiar. Last time, he was following behind the b.u.t.t of the Sky Wolf Gang members. But this time, Long Chen had undergone a huge change.He looked down from above and saw that there were actually two groups of people fighting fiercely in front of them. One of them was a guard dressed in the garb of the palace, and each of their cultivation were not considered young, a total of six or seven guards, and were currently protecting a young man who was about twenty-five years of age in the middle of the palace. This young man"s appearance was somewhat similar to the Ninth Prince"s, and at this moment, Long Chen faintly heard the three words, First Prince, which confirmed the ident.i.ty of this group of people.
"Little Wolf, does this First Prince have any enmity with you?" Long Chen"s eyes darkened as he whispered.
Long Chen remembered that the Little Wolf had once said that the Sword Emperor was naturally the one who ordered the people who had enmity with him, and the Sword Demon and Lin Zichen were the ones who carried it out.
The wolf cub, who was in his arms, shook his head."None of the royals are good. I"ll kill him today as an appetizer. However, he seems to not be a match for his opponent at all? " Long Chen thought, then looked at the other group of people, this group of people were all dressed in black, with black cloth covering their faces, it seemed like they were extremely professional killers, and were currently being led by a robust middle-aged man, making a breakthrough towards the center. This guy was actually at the level of eighth level of the Milky Way Realm, and would most likely be able to kill the First Prince in no time!
"There"s actually someone who wants to a.s.sa.s.sinate the First Prince? Looks like they"re the same kind of people." Long Chen thought that if someone were to kill them, he wouldn"t even bother to do so.
Just then, the First Prince bellowed with a face full of anger, "You are all sent by Lin Zichen, right? That guy really had a venomous heart. Father only said that he wanted to choose the crown prince, but he actually sent people to kill me! Did he think royal father was an idiot? "
"First Prince, you"re right, we are indeed His Highness"s men, but, the idiot is not His Majesty, instead, it"s you, His Highness has always been swift and decisive, and this is what His Majesty values. As long as he kills you, with his strength, who would dare to say anything?" The group of men in black, having taken the First Prince down, immediately admitted it.
I, Lin Batian, have led the troops to wage war for many years, defending the borders and getting rid of the criminals. I am more familiar with the four books and five scriptures, familiar with the ways of governing the country. Only then will I truly be suitable to be the crown prince. If we allow him to rule the country, the Canyang Kingdom will definitely not live a peaceful life! " Lin Batian was currently furious!"Sorry, our mission today is to get rid of you. As for the others, you should go to h.e.l.l and talk to the ghost guard, haha!" That man from the eighth level of the Milky Way Realm had instantly killed two of the seventh level of the Milky Way Realm guards in front of Lin Batian.
"Azure Dragon Sword Qi!" At this time, Lin Batian"s eyes turned cold, he suddenly waved the blue colored treasure sword in his hand, and instantly, the sword energy turned into a dragon, rus.h.i.+ng straight at the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin, forcing him to retreat!
"Sword Fighter is indeed powerful. However, in front of the eighth level of the Milky Way Realm, he still has to die. First Prince, see you later!"After the Black clothed warrior was forced to retreat, he immediately became enraged, his speed increased greatly, and even the other guards could not stop him, he had almost arrived in front of the Ninth Prince then, he suddenly threw out a palm, directly sending the First Prince"s sword flying. Then, his other hand formed a fist, smas.h.i.+ng towards Lin Batian"s chest!
If this punch landed, Lin Batian would definitely die on the spot!
"First Prince!" Seeing that Lin Batian was about to die, the guards" eyes were filled with rage. If the First Prince died, all of them would definitely be silenced!
Sure, none of them could save him in time!
Just when everyone was in despair, Black clothed warrior"s punch did not hit it. He was holding Lin Batian in one hand and just as he was about to hit Lin Batian with the other, he suddenly stopped ten centimeters away from Lin Batian"s lower abdomen.
"What"s going on?" Everyone jumped in fright, and when they looked over carefully, they saw that they were all standing behind Black clothed warrior, so when they focused their eyes, the first thing they saw was, at the center of Black clothed warrior"s back, a sword tip had actually pierced through, and at that moment, there was even blood flowing out of the sword tip!
A pract.i.tioner of eighth level of the Milky Way Realm was actually silently pierced through the heart!Everyone was stunned, Lin Batian thought that he was going to die, but in his despair, the opponent actually did not do anything, he suddenly opened his eyes, only then did he see a sword under his armpit, directly piercing into Black clothed warrior"s heart, piercing through it, and at the same time, Black clothed warrior also lowered his head to look at the sword at his chest, his face filled with disbelief.
However, his life had completely dissipated at this time. Even to the point of death, he wanted to move Lin Batian"s body away to see who the person behind him was. Unfortunately, he no longer had the strength to do so.
"Puchi!"
When the tip of the sword was pulled back, Black clothed warrior"s body slowly fell to the ground. And at this time, Lin Batian felt a gust of wind behind him, and then, he saw a black figure quickly shuttling back and forth between the remaining black clothed men, wailing miserably. Only after a few breaths of time, did all the black clothed men completely collapse, while that rapidly changing figure, he finally stopped.
It was Long Chen.
Long Chen kept the Xingjian in his hand and looked at the First Prince who was staring at him in a daze.
The reason why he saved the First Prince was obviously because he had a reason. After listening to their conversation, Long Chen already had a rough understanding of the current situation of the imperial family. Within the Demonic Palace, it was the time to ascend the throne. On one side was the martial genius Lin Zichen, and on the other side was the martial genius Lin Batian who had achieved great military achievements and ruled over countries.
On the road of martial arts, Lin Batian could not compare to Lin Zichen, but in other aspects, Lin Zichen could also not compare to him, and what Long Chen thought of was that only Lin Batian had a strong warrior to protect him, maybe he could still use Long Chen"s goal to completely destroy those strong people of the imperial family, and messing it up first might not be a bad choice."Thank you, sir, for saving my life. May I have your name please?" Lin Batian finally reacted, his heart was in turmoil, but his mind was calm. He forced himself to cover it up, and began to entertain and rope Long Chen in.
I can"t bear to have Lin Zichen rely on his strength to do whatever he wants, so I acted recklessly. As a result, you don"t need to take it to heart, don"t talk about today"s matters to anyone, goodbye! After saying that, Long Chen acted as though he was going to leave.
"Sir, since you dislike Lin Zichen, can you stay and help me? Lin Zichen only knows about the art of martial arts and the art of governing nations, he is completely ignorant of it. If he were to ascend to the throne in the future, he will definitely bring disaster upon the people of the world, I hope that Sir can think for the people of the world! " Lin Batian cupped his hands and said sincerely."The matters of the world are not for me to care too much about. You don"t have to say anything. If fate wills it, we"ll meet again!" Long Chen said with a cold face.
"Sir, I beg of you to lend me a hand. After this is done, what do you want? As long as the royal family has it, I will definitely find it for you!" At this time, Lin Batian kneeled on the ground and pleaded with an incomparably hopeful gaze. Since the lives of the people could not tempt Long Chen, he would tempt him with benefits!Judging by Long Chen"s strength, he was definitely an expert when he killed the eighth level of the Milky Way Realm expert. If such an expert were to slip away like that, Lin Batian would definitely be filled with grief and indignation.
