Chapter 1957: Chapter 1950: Then Pour Me a Cup of Tea
Long Sen sat cross-legged on the ground and began to regulate his breathing, but because his strength and realm were sealed, the speed of healing was not fast, only having a minimal effect. However, at least it could make his injuries slightly more bearable.
"Those Divine Profound Hall bastards have started torturing people again." The surrounding direct disciples all bore injuries on their bodies.
"Humph, trying to pry secrets of Yujian Villa from us, they’re dreaming!"
"That’s right, we from Yujian Villa are all tough men, not a single coward afraid of dying!"
The Villa Master of Yujian Villa looked at Long Sen, his lips moved, but he didn’t know what he should say. He understood clearly that all ancient Yujian Villa’s legacies resided with Long Sen, but few people in the entire Yujian Villa knew of this. Most believed those secrets must be with the Villa Master.
Usually, the two of them would often retreat in seclusion to study the legacies of Yujian Villa. To outsiders, it seemed that the Villa Master favored Long Sen as his most beloved direct disciple. So, to force the Villa Master to submit, they tortured Long Sen every few days, causing him serious injuries before sending him back when he was barely alive.
"Damn!" The Villa Master of Yujian Villa couldn’t bear to see Long Sen in this state. Hence, he used soul communication to tell Long Sen, "Sen’er, if you really can’t hold on, give them those secrets. Stay alive, there’s always hope."
Long Sen looked at his teacher, his blood-stained face showed a grim smile, then he shook his head, "Teacher, we won’t be imprisoned here for long. My brother Gu Xiao will find a way to rescue us if he finds out about this."
"Sen’er, Gu Xiao entered the Endless Land three years ago. You know what kind of place it is. His fate is unknown now; we can’t pin our hopes on him." The Villa Master of Yujian Villa was also feeling helpless.
"Even if he can really return with vastly increased strength, he’s still young and his foundation is weak. How could he deal with the currently thriving Divine Profound Hall?"
"Don’t worry, Teacher," Long Sen still seemed to have great confidence in Zhang Menglong. "I believe that even within the Endless Land, my brother Gu Xiao can turn bad luck into good. He said once that he would level the Divine Profound Hall, and since he uttered those words, I’m sure he can achieve it."
"I hope he truly can." The Villa Master of Yujian Villa couldn’t understand why Long Sen had such almost obsessive trust in Zhang Menglong.
...
In the Flaming Sun Divine Nation, Vice Hall Master Inyun arrived here under orders from the Hall Master.
Although his realm was the same level as the Emperor of the Flaming Sun Divine Nation, his status was evidently much more prestigious. On the day of his arrival, the border fortress was decorated, welcoming him.
Apart from Inyun, no other members from Divine Profound Hall came, since with War Shackles, he alone represented a powerful top-tier fighting force.
Upon hearing the news of Zhang Menglong’s comeback, people of the Flaming Sun Divine Nation were naturally somewhat uneasy, and even Inyun’s presence couldn’t bring them much comfort.
Because the memories of Lei Poguan left a deep impression, and the combat power and aggression Zhang Menglong has shown is even more formidable than back then at Lei Poguan.
Let’s not forget, if it weren’t for the Hall Master’s intervention, Divine Profound Hall could have lost two vice hall masters back then. Now, the defense forces of the Flaming Sun Divine Nation might not be able to withstand Zhang Menglong.
However, witnessing the power of War Shackles, they immediately dismissed those previous thoughts.
It can double the wearer’s strength, and share 100% of that power with 10,000 people, plus 50% power can be shared with 100,000 people!
Even among Ninth Grade Martial Artists within the Dao Realm, Inyun is considered extremely strong, at least five or six times the strength of an ordinary Ninth Grade Martial Artist! With his strength doubled, he’s nearing the strength of Peak of Dao Realm Martial Artists!
This means 10,000 Peak of Dao Realm Martial Artists, 100,000 Ninth Grade Martial Artists, and 1 million Martial Artists close to Ninth Grade at the peak of Eighth Grade Realm. With such forces, Lei Poguan back then would have been doomed, how much stronger could Zhang Menglong be?
Amidst a night of revelry, apart from the city-protecting team, everyone else entered a dream.
"Where are the people? Open the doors, let out those 12 superpower members held here!"
A voice full of power, echoed across the city’s sky through the spread of energy, waking numerous people from their sleep.
"Being noisy at this hour, aren’t people allowed to sleep?"
"Who dares to shout in my Flaming Sun Divine Nation?"
"You want to release people from superpowers? Such boldness, who dares to demand such?"
All warriors of Flaming Sun Divine Nation immediately put on alert, awaiting orders, while higher-ranking officers rushed to the city gate, cursing under their breath. Naturally, this included Inyun, as Zhang Menglong’s voice was recognized, given he was a top figure on Divine Profound Hall’s bounty list, his voice ingrained in every Hall member’s mind.
Inyun instantly appeared atop the city wall, seeing Zhang Menglong floating alone in the air, surrounded by over 8000 youths wearing Sunset Sect attire. They didn’t rush to attack the city’s protective formation, seemingly just there to shout out their frustration.
"Gu Xiao, you have quite the nerve to shout within my Flaming Sun Divine Nation!" The King of Flaming Sun Divine Nation shouted angrily at Zhang Menglong.
"What is there to be afraid of," Zhang Menglong shrugged, "aren’t the other superpower members imprisoned here? Quickly release them. If you voluntarily release them, we won’t make things too hard for you. Though you’re lapdogs of Divine Profound Hall, you’re at least peripheral ones, I separate public from private affairs, no intent to trouble you."
Upon hearing "lapdogs," the King’s face immediately reddened, as it was true, but did it need to be spoken? Didn’t he care about dignity?
"They’re here, if you’ve got the skills to rescue them!" He countered, "Do you believe that with just these people, you can rescue them here? Isn’t that too naive!"
The figures appeared with the voice from the Flaming Sun Divine Nation, gathering behind the King, totaling over 20,000 Dao Realm Martial Artists!
"Is this it?" Zhang Menglong shook his head. "The strongest is only around Fifth Grade Realm, not enough for us. Show me your true skills!"
"Gu Xiao, you’re too arrogant!" Inyun appeared at this moment too. "I’m aware of your fighting ability, your people may be only Peak Divine Cultivators, but their strength matches Eighth Grade Dao Realm. I’ve heard of your victory over Feng Cong."
"Since you heard, why not prepare me a cup of tea and release my people?"
"Humph!" Inyun snorted coldly, "These people, you’re still far from rescuing them from my Flaming Sun Divine Nation."
