“brat, are you bragging? hahaha, no, you’re definitely not, hahaha!” the old man patted long chen’s shoulder forcibly, laughing extremely proudly.

qu jianying, li tianxuan, and the others were also shocked and delighted. although they had not witnessed feng fei fight, her aura had been enough to terrify them.

these fellows that had lived for several centuries all had a sharp vision. they knew that feng fei was a terrifying existence, and also knew that the divine families had sent her to intimidate them and make them aware of the divine families’ power.

feng fei made all other heavenly geniuses lose their splendor. they were like fireflies trying to compare to the moon.

when feng fei had arrived, all the disciples had come out to take a look. but feng fei had found them too unworthy for even a second glance. only the dragonblood legion had made her eyes brighten for a moment. she had said that they were worthy of being the continent’s number one legion.

after that, she received the numbers that qu jianying had supplied and then left. she had been there for no more than a few minutes but had still left behind an impression of an insurmountable mountain.

her power made others despair and give up hope of ever reaching the top. adding in her peerless beauty which made others submit, they wondered if this was the model of a sovereign.

compared to feng fei, other heavenly geniuses like di feng and tian xiezi were nothing.

hearing that long chen had actually eked out a draw with her was something difficult to believe, but they knew that he disdained lying.

“haha, long chen, you're back. we’ve already started climbing in the netherpassage realm... damn, what happened to you?”

just at this moment, the disciples of the martial heaven alliance heard that long chen had returned and began congregating. ye lingshan, bao buping, and chang hao came in. bao buping jumped in shock upon seeing long chen’s current state.

seeing them, long chen also jumped. “you... are my eyes more damaged than i thought? you’ve reached the third step of netherpassage? how did you do that?”

it was long chen’s turn to be filled with disbelief. they clearly possessed the death qi of a third step netherpassage expert. not only that, but they were able to easily keep that aura inside, which meant that they had reached that realm a while ago. how did they advance so quickly? when he had left, they had clearly just started attempting to reach the second step.

“long chen!”

at this moment, meng qi, chu yao, tang wan-er, ye zhiqiu, dong mingyu, liu ruyan, cloud, and the rest of the dragonblood legion came over.

guo ran seemed to have even more confidence in long chen than long chen himself. he had absolute confidence in him, as well as in the dragonblood legion. they had also gone through a transformation during this time.

“don’t brag. take advantage of this time to increase your realm as much as possible,” said long chen. he then bade farewell to the old man and the others. after that, meng qi brought long chen to a secluded area. this was an isolated mountain that was the best place for entering seclusion within the martial heaven alliance. the entire mountain was covered in spirit formations that linked together.

holding meng qi’s hand and looking at her beautiful face, long chen suddenly felt full of confidence. he had to protect them. he couldn’t let them worry. perhaps this was his greatest motivation to continue forward.

“meng qi, i brought you back some things. see if you can use them.” long chen summoned a giant skeleton.

meng qi exclaimed, “a netherbeast?”

“you recognize it?” asked long chen.

“no, all i know is that the netherworld has its own demonic beasts. the marks on the bones are specific to those beasts. i saw an introduction about them in a badly damaged bone shard, but it didn’t explain the various types. where did you get this?”

as a beast tamer, meng qi was constantly looking for more information relating to her profession. with the huayun sect’s help, she had looked through many ancient tomes that others had never had a chance to peruse. that was what allowed her to recognize the origin of this skeleton.

“hehe, this is something that mo nian and i dug out of a grave. do you think it’s useful? i remember you saying that there was a technique to control beast corpses,” said long chen.

“that technique is for the martial heaven continent’s magical beasts. but it also requires the crystal core to be fully intact and still contain a trace of soul essence. these netherbeasts...” meng qi didn’t feel much confidence in this. if she failed to control it, the crystal core would shatter. such a priceless treasure would be gone in an instant.

“it’s fine. it wasn’t bought with money, so losing it wouldn’t be painful,” said long chen. seeing how nervous she was, he waved his hand, bringing out more skeletons. “there’s plenty even if it’s a failure. even if they all break, they can be used as food for wilde.”

long chen took out thirty-six skeletons at once to lighten the pressure on meng qi. after all, if crystal cores on this level were embedded into certain armor or weapons, it would bring them immense power.

meng qi was shocked but also comforted. with so many of them, she wasn’t too worried about losing one or two.

she formed a hand seal, and a flower mark appeared on her forehead. as she reached out, a gentle light landed on one of the skulls.

the beast’s body shuddered, and following that, a berserk aura rose. long chen’s expression changed, and he immediately appeared in front of meng qi.

“it’s going to explode.”
