Chapter 129: The Fallen
Star Luo Empire.
After the spirit master team disappeared, Emperor Star Luo sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
With a large reward and the promise of amnesty, someone told the truth.
Upon learning that Long Chen had solved the wolf bandit group and destroyed the spirit master team, Emperor Star Luo was furious.
He ordered people to describe Long Chen's deeds in an exaggerated way.
The part about Long Chen "devouring" the spirit master team was even more exaggerated as a demonic act.
Afterwards, a notice was quickly issued to the world, portraying Long Chen as a fallen person with a powerful devouring ability, claiming that this person must be eradicated to maintain the reputation of the empire.
Emperor Star Luo also sent envoys to Tiandou City to try to put pressure on Emperor Xue Ye through diplomatic means.
On the other hand, he secretly mobilized the empire's elite killers to secretly investigate Long Chen's whereabouts and find an opportunity to kill him.
Tiandou City, the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye received a letter of negotiation from the Star Luo Empire and called Xue Qinghe.
"Qinghe, there is news about Long Chen."
During this period, Xue Qinghe had been sending people to look for Long Chen.
Finally, there was news about Long Chen, but seeing the solemn expression of Emperor Xue Ye, he had a bad feeling.
"Father, Long Chen..."
"Take a look for yourself."
Emperor Xue Ye handed the negotiation letter to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe opened it and looked happy.
He originally thought that Long Chen had encountered some unexpected events, but he did not expect that Long Chen actually solved the wolf bandit issue that the two empires were helpless against, and also destroyed the spirit master team of the Star Luo Empire.
"Father, if it is true as stated in this letter, the wolf bandits on the border have been completely eradicated by Long Chen, it is a great thing. The people there will no longer have to encounter the invasion of wolf bandits and can live a peaceful life."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded slightly.
"Yes. Long Chen's strength is far beyond my imagination. He has done what the two empires and the Spirit Hall could not do. You have seen Long Chen's performance in the finals of the Spirit Master Competition. Does he really have a strong devouring ability?"
Xue Qinghe shook his head and disagreed.
"Father, although Long Chen's soul skills are a bit strange, I have never seen him show his devouring ability. This may be that the Star Luo Empire is exaggerating and deliberately targeting Long Chen. We can't just listen to their one-sided words."
"What you said makes sense. Eradicating the wolf bandits is also a great achievement. Let's ask Long Chen after he comes back."
"Father, I will keep an eye on Long Chen's movements and inform you immediately if there is any news."
"Okay."
After this incident, Qian Renxue became more interested in Long Chen.
The more dangerous Long Chen's situation is, the more he needs a backer. Qian Renxue hopes to recruit him.
Xue Qinghe came to the Ye Mansion and wanted to find out about Long Chen from Ye Tianming and his wife.
He told Ye Tianming the contents of the negotiation letter.
Ye Tianming said: "As I expected, Xiao Chen was betrayed by them."
Xue Qinghe was shocked when he heard this.
"So you knew about this."
"Yes. Your Highness, you are a step late. Xiao Chen and Lingling came back, but they left again because they were worried that this incident would have a bad impact."
Then, Ye Tianming told Xue Qinghe everything he knew.
Xue Qinghe was secretly happy after hearing this.
"So that's how it is. Star Luo was really exaggerating. Those soul masters were killed by Long Chen in order to seize the soul bones. They really deserved to die."
"Yeah, if we have to blame someone, it's their inferior skills."
Seeing Xue Qinghe's attitude, Ye Tianming's worries were alleviated a lot.
"By the way, do you know where they went?"
Ye Tianming shook his head and sighed softly:
"Long Chen has grown up and has his own ideas. Probably because he was afraid that we would worry, he didn't tell us where he was going. He just said that it was a very safe place and he would practice there with peace of mind."
Xue Qinghe nodded half-believingly.
"Then when he comes back, let him come to me. As long as I am here, I will be able to protect him."
"Your Highness, are you really willing to protect him?"
"Of course. Long Chen solved the problem of wolf bandits and restored peace to the people on the western border. This is a great contribution. Moreover, a young spirit master with talent and potential like Long Chen should be valued."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Once there is news about Long Chen, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"Okay."
After Xue Qinghe and his party left the Ye Mansion, Ye Susu said: "Brother Ming, do you think Your Highness is sincere?"
"Maybe. Xiaochen is safe for the time being, but no one knows what will happen in the future. With the promise of Your Highness, at least there is one more choice."
Xue Qinghe returned to the palace and told Emperor Xue Ye what he had learned.
There was already a contradiction between the two empires.
Emperor Xue Ye was not willing to be outdone, and soon announced to the world, exposing the lies of Star Luo, saying that those spirit masters wanted to seize the spirit bones but were killed by Long Chen.
Long Chen's deeds soon spread throughout the two empires.
Yu Xiaogang, Ning Fengzhi and others all hear about it.
They were all shocked. They didn't expect that after Long Chen disappeared, he actually went to the western border to hunt wolf bandits.
What they didn't expect was that Long Chen showed even more powerful strength and actually destroyed a soul master team led by a soul saint.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
Looking at the letter in her hand, Bibi Dong's face gradually became gloomy.
Recalling the scene in the final of the soul master competition, the strange beasts summoned by Long Chen with the sound of the magic harp not only showed amazing combat power, but also had a heart-pounding devouring ability.
Those strange beasts roamed freely on the battlefield, and the shocking scene still makes Bibi Dong feel scared.
This time, Long Chen actually used his devouring ability to devour a soul master team composed of eleven soul masters in a moment, including a soul saint with a higher level than him.
Although the Soul Devouring Spider King also has the power of devouring, it seems to be inferior to that strange beast.
"Long Chen, it seems that you were too conservative in your performance in the Soul Master Competition. I really don't know how much strength you have hidden?"
"A soul master with such a strong devouring ability is very likely to become a fallen one. If he can't be used by me, he must be eradicated as soon as possible."
A trace of determination flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She originally wanted Long Chen to submit to her and keep Long Chen to deal with Tang San.
However, she would not allow any potential threats to exist, especially a young man like Long Chen who is gifted, powerful, and has the ability to devour.
Bibi Dong also knew that Long Chen was not an easy person to deal with.
Being able to solve the wolf thieves problem that has plagued the two empires for many years alone, and also destroying a soul master team led by a soul saint, is enough to prove that his strength and wisdom are extraordinary.
Bibi Dong wants to find Long Chen as soon as possible. If he can't be used by her, she will kill him directly before he becomes stronger.
