Chapter 611 – Inner City

The old man nodded quickly and completely ignored Long Chen. He then placed the item in a Universe Pouch and gave it to the lady.

The lady held out her hands happily to take it.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

When he was handing over the Universe Pouch, his hands accidentally touched the lady’s hands. It was a common occurrence, but the lady became furious. She took the Universe Pouch and complained to Zhao Danchen, “Brother Zhao, he actually touched me.”

Zhao Danchen swung his hand. A strong wind blew the old man away without any warning. By the time he landed, he was dead.

The other supervisor of the Martial Merchant Alliance, the lady who had been leading them, immediately kneeled on the ground for mercy.

The lady in Zhao Danchen’s embrace scoffed at the old man’s corpse. “How dare he touch me. I’m your woman; did he think that he could touch me?”

Zhao Danchen chuckled and embraced her. He took the chance to grope her chest, and she even moaned. “Alright, Lian’er. I’ve given you the Blue Devil Flame now. I have something urgent to do. so I will send you back first. I will come to visit you at night, alright?”

“You must come, alright?” the venomous woman answered shyly.

Long Chen saw everything. Birds of a feather flock together. Zhao Danchen isn’t a virtuous person, and his women aren’t either. The old man accidentally touched her fingers and was killed just like that.

After taking the Blue Devil Flame, Zhao Danchen left with Lian’er.

Long Chen sighed, feeling grateful that Zhao Danchen hadn’t noticed him.

Just then, Zhao Danchen suddenly turned back. He frowned when he looked at Long Chen. “Chen Guangjun, why are you here?”

Long Chen knew that Zhao Danchen was suspecting him, so he kept calm. If he lied now, Zhao Danchen would definitely be able to tell. “I thought of buying the Blue Devil Flame, but I shall concede it to you, Martial Emperor Zhao.”

He didn’t add any superfluous words to his sentence, which was exactly how Chen Guangjun would speak.

Lian’er gave Long Chen a condescending look, “A minor character like you wanted the Blue Devil Flame? What a joke.”

She even laughed out loud.

Long Chen said nothing as he lowered his head.

Chen Guangjun had been gone for weeks, but Zhao Danchen didn’t know because of his position, nor would he take notice.

To him, Long Chen looked just like Chen Guangjun. Zhao Danchen thought that he had sensed wrongly when he felt the sliver of danger coming off from Long Chen just now. Zhao Danchen said nothing more and he led his group downstairs.

Long Chen left the place after them.

It was a close call, but thankfully, Zhao Danchen did not realize he was an imposter.

“Xiaolang, I think Zhao Danchen said he would escort the lady home before and then go elsewhere. Let’s follow her somewhere remote, then we will take her life and grab the Blue Devil Flame.”

Even though the lady was beautiful, she was wicked to the core. Long Chen decided to take revenge for the old man and also release his pent-up frustration of someone taking the thing that was supposed to be his.

Mo Xiaolang responded, “Big Brother, I think we should let it go for now. If she goes missing, Zhao Danchen will definitely know that you were the one who did it. We don’t know how long you will have to stay here, so we cannot reveal your identity just for the Blue Devil Flame.”

After pondering a bit, Long Chen agreed. He still had to use the identity of the Hundred-War Martial King, so he could not act rashly.

“She’s still below the Earthly Martial Realm, so there’s no need to worry about her using it. I will take it from her another day. Let’s find out where she lives so we know where to find her.”

He quickly stalked Zhao Danchen and everyone else through the crowd. Once they were out of the Martial Merchant Alliance, Zhao Danchen and the lady separated. The lady entered an extravagant carriage under the guard of the Martial Alliance and sped off towards the east.

Long Chen quickly pursued her.

Soon, the carriage reached its destination. Long Chen saw that it was an extravagant estate. They were still in the outer city, so he deduced that the woman was a noble with at least someone at the Earthly Martial Realm guarding her family.

After taking note of the location, Long Chen left.

Even though the Blue Devil Flame was important to Xiaolang, he hadn’t forgotten his true mission. It was to rescue Long Yue.

The Nine Spirit Purgatory has only one entrance, which is also the only exit. But the Red Souls said otherwise. The third Martial Emperor, Xiao Lin, most likely knows where the other exit is located … I need to find a way to get close to him.

Long Chen had a plan to get the answer after he befriended Xiao Lin.

I can finally use the fourth stage of the Soul Swallowing Gaze: Control. The true strength of the Soul Swallowing Gaze is finally revealing itself.

Long Chen barely used Seduction and Soul Snatching. He did, however, rely on Sight quite often. In fact, it had saved him many times.

Most importantly, the fourth stage, Control, allowed him to control the minds of others through hypnosis. But it had a lot of restrictions and couldn’t be used easily.

Still, it was a technique that defied the heavens.

He planned to use Control on Xiao Lin to obtain the answer.

Long Chen had a clear goal as he reached the gate connecting to the inner city. There were even more guards here than in the previous gate. The inner city was where the high-ranked members of the Martial Alliance resided. Only nobles and the families of Martial Kings and above could enter, so it was much quieter.

He reached the gate, and someone quickly noticed him. It was another Martial King. Long Chen had read the reports and familiarized himself with the other Martial Kings. The one guarding the gate to the inner city was the Fierce Tiger Martial King. He had the Primary Beast Soul of a fire tiger at the King-tier.

“Hundred-War Martial King, where have you been? We thought you went missing.” The Fierce Tiger Martial King was unfriendly from the start.

He was slightly higher ranked than the Hundred-War Martial King since he was guarding the gates. He was older as well, so he was superior in every aspect.

Long Chen simply said, “I ran into a Blue Eyes Golden Toad, a Category One King-tier demonic beast, and almost lost my life. I recovered and rushed back here.”

The real Hundred-War Martial King was actually dead.

“Blue Eyes Golden Toad? That’s a scary beast.” The Fierce Tiger Martial King was surprised when he looked at Long Chen. “It’s not an easy feat to survive an attack from it.”

Everyone Long Chen had met so far had fallen for the disguise without fail. It was clear that Lan Xiang’er’s techniques were unmatched.

“It’s a miracle I did not die.” Long Chen did his best to imitate the Hundred-War Martial King’s tone and exchanged as few words with the Fierce Tiger Martial King as possible because he was afraid that he might slip up. “I haven’t returned in a long time and I’m worried for my family. Fierce Tiger, I will have to take my leave now.”

Fierce Tiger Martial King smiled and patted his shoulder as he snickered. “You are not missing your family, just your beautiful wife. She came here and asked about you many times. Hurry up and go home.”

Long Chen nodded and entered the inner city without saying anything else. He had passed the Fierce Tiger Martial King’s test!

Staring at Long Chen’s back, the Fierce Tiger Martial King licked his lips and sighed. “To think he really came back. I was actually thinking of visiting his wife tonight, but he came back at just the right time. I really don’t understand how that woman would fall in love with him.”

Naturally, Long Chen did not hear that.

The Hundred-War Martial King had a wife called Lady Mo. She was the Hundred-War Martial King’s childhood friend and she was very pretty. They had a son and a daughter together.

Long Chen naturally did not enter the Hundred-War Martial King’s house. Even though he was confident in Lan Xiang’er’s technique, it would be very hard to hide himself in front of the Hundred-War Martial King’s wife. He needed to save Long Yue as soon as possible.

But he was racing against time.

His plan hinged on obtaining Xiao Lin’s trust to succeed.

He knew his way around the inner city since he had memorized the map.

There were very few people here, but those who lived here were of high status, and they rarely went out. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏(.)co𝒎

Long Chen recalled where the Nine Spirit Purgatory was. He took a few steps before a woman shouted behind him.

“Dear?”
