the battle of heavenly geniuses in clearwind city had ended with xiang yunfei’s defeat. even though a netherpassage expert of the ancient races had interfered, long chen had still managed to kill xiang yunfei. this news caused huge waves throughout the entire continent.

xiang yunfei had been eighth place on the devil slaughter rankings, and he had won this ranking not based on his amazing area slaughter arts, but on true power. he had not relied on techniques to get his ranking, so it could be said that he was a truly terrifying existence.

he possessed a paragon art, as well as ancestral divine items, the one hundred and eight heavenly bone spears. he had even summoned the power of his ancestors but had still lost to long chen.

this battle also slapped the faces of certain malicious people spreading rumors that long chen had no power and had relied entirely on cheating to get first place on the devil slaughter rankings.

in reality, the devil slaughter rankings were based on the number of devil creatures that could be slain, so it was mainly testing wide-area killing power. that kind of killing power wasn’t necessarily strong in one-on-one battles.

xiang yunfei hadn’t relied on area attacks but had still gotten eighth place. furthermore, at that time, he hadn’t used his paragon art. he had relied entirely on his own power.

if xiang yunfei had used his paragon art at that time, perhaps he could have gotten first place.

however, such a figure had still died to long chen’s hands. that proved just how strong long chen was.

the entire continent was shaken. those voices raising doubts about long chen were silent. everyone’s gazes gathered on the ancient races.

xiang yunfei was one of the ancient races’ top geniuses, and he had been slain by long chen just like this. would the ancient races declare war on the martial heaven alliance?

moreover, long chen hadn’t only slain xiang yunfei. on the same day, he had also slain di long’s son, infuriating the ancient races and the ancient family alliance in one go. for a while, the continent held its breath as it waited for the results.

the name of the eastern madman gained even greater power. long chen was truly worthy of this nickname. he would do anything regardless of the consequences. however, despite his craziness, he also had the brains to look for solutions to his problems.

...

three incense sticks were inserted into the earth. there was a fresh grave here. long chen slowly rose from his respect toward this grave.

“if the first commander was still alive, this bow of yours would be his life’s glory,” said ye lingshan softly.

the first commander and second commander had been buried, and the others had already left. long chen had come on his own to light a stick of incense for him.

“he was worthy of it. he was a true hero.” long chen touched the gravestone, rubbing away some dirt that had gotten onto it.

“sometimes i really don’t understand men. a single gaze, a single promise is enough for you guys to risk your lives? are you fools?” asked ye lingshan. she placed a flower in front of the grave. however, there were already many flowers covering the ground.

she had suffered a great deal from other people’s contempt, but no one had ever treated her like family. that unconditional trust and love had made her swear on her life to properly respect this master of hers.

so even though long chen was joking, this was still offensive to her. this kind of joke was unacceptable.

“please, my guts are too small. don’t scare the crap out of me.” long chen hastily waved his hands, accepting his loss. if he couldn’t even make a joke, he was no longer interested in trying.

after seeing him admit defeat, ye lingshan’s expression softened. “thank you for your medicinal pill.”

“no problem. it was just thanks to my relationship with qingqing.”

“rogue.”

long chen shrugged. “what’s roguish about it? qingqing’s such a kind and beautiful woman. who wouldn’t like her? she’ll sooner or later find her companion.”

“yes, she truly is the type to be liked by others. tell me, do you like her?”

“of course i like her.”

“then have you thought about taking her as a wife?”

“no.”

“why not?”

“there’s no why. i like plenty of people. am i supposed to marry them all? something beautiful should just be peacefully appreciated, like a lotus on the riverside. if you pluck it, it will quickly wither. it is only suited to stay by the riverside, while i am fated to not be a riverside. also, i already have several wives, and they’re difficult enough to deal with, especially a certain jealous tigress. if she knew i was picking flowers randomly, she’d skin me alive.”

ye lingshan laughed. she found that speaking with long chen was very interesting. his words were always direct and sincere.

“you really are curious. the so-called heavenly geniuses that i’ve encountered want to gather as many beautiful women as they can in their pockets, as if beautiful women are only fit for them. it’s like anything they like should be theirs,” sighed ye lingshan.

“i like plenty of things, not just beautiful women. i like powerful people, so am i supposed to marry them? those four old strongest experts from the martial heaven alliance, am i also supposed to marry them? sorry, that’s not to my taste,” said long chen.

ye lingshan laughed again. even the grand elders were not spared from his jokes.

“you might not be interested in us, and that’s fine. but we’re very interested in you.”

suddenly, a voice rang out that made long chen and ye lingshan’s smile stiffen.
