Chapter 7205 Preparations

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Young Master, you cant do that! Miao Yin was shocked to hear Long Chen say such a thing. Anyone with the slightest status or reputation would never dare to go to such a place. If they were discovered, they would be instantly labeled a traitor.

Long Chen was the youngest dean in the history of the High Firmament Academy, a peak heavenly genius of the human race. If this was discovered, the very heavens would collapse. His enemies would definitely spread word and exaggerate what had happened until there would be no place for Long Chen within the nine heavens and ten lands.

Furthermore, it would implicate everyone with even the slightest connection to him. It wasnt just the High Firmament Academy that would be affected; the violet blood race, the Jiuli race, the dragon race, the White Tiger race, and everyone else connected to Long Chen would be implicated.

Aiyah, youre still acting too cautious! Youre going to lose out on many opportunities if you keep acting like this. First of all, we will obviously be wearing disguises. But even if we are discovered, I will say that I am using myself as bait to hook a big fish, that my goal is to dredge out the traitors of the human race, said Long Chen with a smile.

But would anyone believe that? Its still too dangerous! said Miao Yin worriedly.

Wealth is found within danger. If you dont take any risks, how will you ever gain anything substantial? retorted Long Chen.

But

Miao Yin still didnt feel that this was a good idea. The Heavens Peer Dao Sect was like a viper hidden in the bush, watching Long Chen. If they slipped in any way, wouldnt they be giving their enemy a knife to stab them with?

Little sister, just listen to Long Chen. Hes got big guts, but hes actually very meticulous. Hes not as brash as he appears. Furthermore, consider his prestige. Even if he is discovered, its fine. Those who trust him will still trust him, and those who wont will not change anyway. If people choose to become enemies with him because of this, they were either already planning on it, or they are simply idiots. Yes, I agree with you that steadiness is important to walk further, but the nine heavens and ten lands are already in chaos. We must seize as many opportunities as we can. If we fall one step behind, well only get pushed further and further back. Catching back up will be much harder, said Zi Yan.

When it came to Long Chen, Zi Yan didnt have any worries. Few people knew him better than her.

Hearing Zi Yans opinion, Miao Yin nodded obediently.

Long Chen smiled at her. Dont worry, Ill handle everything. Just tell your people to prepare, the faster the better. If possible, I would hope to finish this before the Heavenly Sound Sects competition for the position of Music Grandmaster. That way, your odds of winning will be a bit higher.

Alright, Ill set it up right now. Miao Yin immediately got to work. The battleship had her own communication formation. She had to send out orders.

Staring at Miao Yins back as she left, Long Chen found it an enchanting sight. He sighed to himself. He didnt even know how he had managed to reject her before. What a lethal charm

Its lethal, isnt it?

Zi Yan gave Long Chen a smile. She seemed to see through his thoughts.

Long Chen was instantly embarrassed, but he nodded sincerely. Yes, truly lethal!

He didnt hide anything from Zi Yan. Naturally, had it been Tang Wan-er instead, he wouldnt have admitted to it no matter what.

Zi Yan laughed. Do you like her?

Of course I do. But I cant. If I am not him, wouldnt I be tricking her? Long Chen sighed.

In that case, would you say that you tricked me? asked Zi Yan.

Why would I have tricked you? Long Chen stared at her in confusion, but he then grasped what she was saying. At the same time, he thought back to Aunt Gongs words. When you dont know who you are, you are you. When you know who you are, you are no longer you.

When Long Chen first met Zi Yan and the others, he had no idea who he was. Now, he knew who he might be, but also who he might not be. This became another shackle on him when it came to Miao Yin. He did like her, but he didnt dare to get close to her. It was the kind of conflicting feeling that could drive a person crazy, as if their soul was being ripped apart.

Theres no need to rush this. There are still many things to do in the meantime! The palace master said that he would expound on the Dao to us when we got back. You should get ready with Miao Yin, said Long Chen.

Zi Yan knew that Long Chen was changing the subject, but she understood that, even though he was a peerless expert in other areas, there was no one who could be a real expert in matters of the heart.

Long Chen didnt want to let down others, so he wouldnt easily accept someones feelings. That was especially true when he wasnt sure of himself exactly what he felt or, indeed, even who he was. At this point, there was no chance of him accepting Miao Yin.

When they returned to the first academy, they were greeted with the heaven-shaking cheers of the academys disciples. News of Long Chen crushing the opposition and beating Feng Xinglie in just ten moves had already arrived. The disciples clenched their fists tightly, especially when they looked at the elite disciples on the battleship. They swore inside that they would definitely join the ranks of these eight million elites so that they could fight alongside Long Chen. Even if they died, they would die without regrets.

The grand return of the heroes was followed by a great celebration that even managed to stir the elders hot blood, so it was no wonder that the disciples were raring to go. The first academy had managed to loudly announce to the world that their rise was unstoppable. Let alone minor figures, even overlords with long histories would not dare to set their sights on the first academy.

The first academys disciples could finally stand tall again. If anyone dared to bully the weaker ones, these eight million elites would definitely stand up for them. As long as they werent the ones intentionally causing trouble, they would be safe.

In fact, Long Chen himself promised the disciples that as long as they were in the right, then even if they did start trouble, he would support them. With such a domineering dean, how could they not be filled with confidence? That was especially now, when the first academy had reached an unprecedented reputation in the Sovereign Emperor Heaven.

Long Chen gave an encouraging speech to these disciples, but he also gave them a firm warning to prevent them from getting too arrogant over this. They had to focus on their cultivation and not go around bullying others.

After that, the first thing he did was go find the palace master with Zi Yan and Miao Yin.

The palace master smiled when he saw them. Long Chen truly seemed to be in a bit of a rush.

Are you not planning on resting after your battle?

All I did was bully an arrogant idiot. Theres no need! replied Long Chen.

It was true that Long Chen had used the power of the eight gates at the end and summoned the full power of the Eight Star Battle Armor, but by that point Feng Xinglie was completely outmatched. And Long Chen hadnt even used his astral essence, so he was not exactly at full power.

It must be nice to be young. Unfortunately, Im already old. If not for that, Id probably go and show off a bit too! The palace master sighed. Indeed, youth was the time to be arrogant. Those who didnt show ff when they were young would have no chance to do it when they were old.

Then let us start!

The palace master manipulated space and brought the three of them away.
