Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 2047

during these days, quite a few ancient powers that had come out recently had sent a few of their people to the martial heaven alliance. it could count as an expression of goodwill.

many of those sects and powers had had relationships with the martial heaven alliance before sealing themselves off. by sending people over, they were both indicating that they hadn’t forgotten that past relationship as well as telling the martial heaven alliance to announce to the world that they had returned.

although there were also ancient powers resurfacing amongst the ancient races, the ancient family alliance, the xuan beasts, and even the corrupt path, the majority of the powers coming out were connected to the martial heaven alliance.

that was why this return of the ancient powers was not a bad thing to the martial heaven alliance. with them present, the martial heaven alliance would not be forced into a passive position.

“the dongfang family? who are they?” asked long chen.

“they are one of the four everlasting families. they existed in the same glorious era as the sovereigns, and their foundations run deep. come greet them with me. we can’t make them wait,” said qu jianying.

“then i just won’t go. i’m thinking of going to the cloud chasing heaven swallowing sparrow race next. i still have a lot to do.” long chen wasn’t interested in the everlasting families.

he understood qu jianying’s meaning. she wanted him to come so that at the very least, he was a familiar face to the people of the everlasting families. that would make it easier for him to form connections in the future, but long chen was never in the habit of doing such a thing.

if you helped him, he would help you. but asking him to curry favor was impossible.

“you have to.” qu jianying directly ordered him, not giving him any room to negotiate.

“come on, you are the martial heaven alliance’s number one genius. if you weren’t here, then it wouldn’t matter, but since you are here, if you don’t go, wouldn’t that mean that you were putting on airs?” said ye lingshan with a smile.

long chen was startled, not expecting ye lingshan to possess such eloquence. she left him with no room to retreat.

“not everyone is as bad as you imagine. many of those ancient experts have their own elegance. they are also geniuses that crushed their generation, and they’re not necessarily your enemy. having more friends is good.” seeing long chen hesitate, ye lingshan pulled him away.

long chen helplessly followed. within the palace, there was a group of young men and women waiting for them.

they were all young. the men were handsome and the women were beautiful. they wore white robes, looking like transcendent figures.

their leader was a particularly handsome man. his face was enough to infatuate countless women. he wore a jade belt and a golden crown that made him look grand and majestic without appearing tyrannical.

even long chen had to admit that this man was very handsome. it was the kind of appearance that posed the greatest threat to a woman’s heart.

ye lingshan was not releasing her aura, but dongfang yuyang had still noticed some clues. his gaze was shockingly sharp. his cultivation base had reached an unfathomable level.

“miss lingshan, please don’t blame me for being rude. when i awakened my manifestation, i also went through this process, which is why i sensed it. i wasn’t trying to pry. i only said that because i was happy that another awakened empyrean will soon be appearing within our human race,” said dongfang yuyang hastily.

“no, i’m not angry. i’m simply amazed by your perceptiveness,” said ye lingshan. she wasn’t angry. she looked at her master. having taken the jade case, she didn’t know if she was supposed to put it away or open it.

“this is just a small gift from the dongfang family. you can open it and look. to tell the truth, this was arranged by the family head, so even i don’t know what’s inside,” said dongfang yuyang.

hearing that, they naturally had to open the case. seeing her master nod, ye lingshan was about to open it when long chen, who hadn’t said anything this entire time, suddenly said, “be careful of being bitten.”

qu jianying’s expression immediately darkened. why did this little brat have to be so similar to the old man?

those disciples of the dongfang family immediately glared at him coldly. was long chen doubting their sincerity?

on the other hand, dongfang yuyang didn’t show any displeasure. he looked at long chen, a faint light shining within his eyes. “you must be the current world’s number one expert, long chen. seeing you today, i must say that you really are a dragon amongst men. nice to meet you.”

“you’re too courteous. i wouldn’t dare to be called the world’s number one expert. compared to the geniuses that once dominated their generation like you, i definitely can’t compare. you were all unrivaled, while i’m beaten black and blue. originally, i was hoping to make a living with my handsomeness, but after seeing you, it seems i’ll have to change plans, or i might starve to death.” long chen shrugged helplessly.

“hahaha, brother long is too humble. such direct words show a clear heart. it was definitely the right thing to come here today. i’m happy to see sister lingshan and brother long’s abilities,” said dongfang yuyang. the tense atmosphere once more relaxed.

qu jianying sighed with relief. dongfang yuyang was a genius of the ancient era. when it came to his accomplishments or fame, he was greater than long chen. she truly hoped that long chen could have some allies like this.

long chen had practically flipped the continent, and the world was filled with his enemies. she really was worried that long chen would die one day.

although the martial heaven alliance was powerful and known as the continent’s number one alliance, they weren’t completely united, and so when it came to reliability, they could not compare to the immense power of an everlasting family.

seeing that dongfang yuyang could talk and laugh with long chen, she felt much more at ease. she told ye lingshan, “go ahead and open it. let’s see what’s inside.”

le lingshan nodded and was about to open it when long chen once more spoke.

“be careful of being bitten.”

qu jianying’s expression changed, and she was so angry that she had an urge to slap long chen. as for those disciples that had come with dongfang yuyang, killing intent started to manifest within them.
