Chapter 638 - Converse

The wind blew from the sky as clouds lazily drifted, casting huge shadows onto the ground.

Mu Chen and Luo Tianshen were shrouded by a shadow as a gentle wind slightly fluttered the corner of their clothes. The surrounds seemed to have calmed down at this instant as countless gazes focused on the two of them.

Even others that weren’t too sure of the current situation could faintly sense the abnormal atmosphere.

In the distant sky, Dean Tai Cang had his brows knitted at the sight of this scene and looked at the Northern Sea Dragon. The latter smiled with his eyes narrowed and lightly waved his hand, “Rest assured, Mu Chen is someone from our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Although the Luo God Clan isn’t good to provoke, I won’t let him suffer any bullying in our academy.”

“However… the situation right now doesn’t seem to be good for us to meddle in. After all, Luo Tianshen is Luo Li’s grandfather, it is natural for an elder to examine the guy his granddaughter loves.”

Dean Tai Cang bitterly smiled, “I’m just afraid that this old man will break them apart.”

“If that’s the case, it might not be a bad thing for Mu Chen,” said the Northern Sea Dragon. He knew that Mu Chen was a raw jade that required some polishing if it wanted to be a perfect jade.

Dean Tai Cang sighed, and just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. His gaze was directed to a secluded peak that was flickering with spiritual light which flew over to Mu Chen’s direction.

One of the two guys that picked up Luo Li earlier had his eyes flickered with light and his figure move, instantly appearing in the direction of the light that was flying over.

“Hold your steps.” He spoke in a loud and clear voice with his fluttering black long hair.

Rustle!

That streak of light showed no signs of stopping and on the contrary, it increased instead.

The guy had his eyes narrowed with killing intent concealed in the centre of his brows. He grasped his hand and a longspear appeared in a flicker and at the next instant, he thrust his spear forth.

Boom!

Lightning converged between the heavens and earth that tore this space apart. Everyone could see a huge spear image piercing through space towards that streak of light at speed comparable to lightning.

That streak of light lightly extended her hand out as stars gathered on her slender fingers and flicked. The vast sky of stars flew out, instantly forming into an enormous Spiritual Array. Within that Spiritual Array, it was as if a volcano was emerging.

Boom!

The volcano erupted as violent Spiritual Energy swept out in this region and collided with the huge spear.

The two dreadful energies wreaked havoc and spread out.

Astonishment flashed across the man’s eyes and just when he was about to unleash another attack, his expression froze as he realised that the earth and sky around him had suddenly darkened. Space was distorted as it formed into a profound Spiritual Array with dominant fluctuations of Spiritual Energy that trapped him inside.

The streak of light flew past him, bypassing the blockade and appeared in the sky of the Goddess Luo Association. However, she only stood there and did not approach Mu Chen and Luo Tianshen. However, anyone could tell that she came for Mu Chen.

Tsssk

Earth-shattering spear light tore apart the profound Spiritual Array. After breaking free from the Spiritual Energy, that man was looking at the beautiful girl dressed in white with shock in his eyes and smiled, “So it’s a Spiritual Array Grandmaster, I have misjudged you.”

The one that attacked was Ling Xi, but at this moment, she did not look at the long-haired man and only stared at Mu Chen and Luo Tianshen.

Ling Xi’s appearance made Mu Chen a little startled. He looked at the former’s bright eyes as he felt touched in his heart. He knew that Ling Xi had come forth so that he didn’t suffer too much pressure from Luo Tianshen.

Despite having a massive gap between herself and Luo Tianshen, there wasn’t any hesitation in her.

Liiiiii!

Just when Mu Chen was feeling touched in his heart, a bright and crisp cry suddenly rang out. A purple light soared out of Mu Chen’s body and into the sky. As the light spread out, it had formed into a sizable black bird with purple flames blazing on its body.

That was naturally the Nine Netherworld Bird.

She stopped high up in the sky as she flapped her wings, bringing along a terrifying gale. But similarly, she only stayed in the air and did not make any other movements.

“The Nine Netherworld Bird?”

The gaze of the two men that followed Luo Tianshen changed again, looking at Ling Xi and the Nine Netherworld Bird before looking at Mu Chen.

There was a hint of shock in their eyes, since the youth that looked so weak and feeble in their eyes didn't seem to be as simple as he looked. At least it was impossible for an ordinary youth to have such a formation around him.

“Spiritual Array Grandmaster… Nine Netherworld Bird…”

Raising his head, a faint smile appeared on Luo Tianshen’s face as he shifted his gaze towards Mu Chen. “If you want to threaten me with this, your methods are still too tender.”

“If I were to threaten, I will do it myself. They are only my friends.” Mu Chen spoke calmly.

Luo Tianshen calmly stared at Mu Chen, and after a brief moment, he nodded his head. At least Mu Chen wasn’t too disappointing for their first meeting. If this youth before him couldn’t pass with the first look, Luo Tianshen wouldn’t give him any chance, even if that girl would hate him for the rest of her life.

“What is your name?”

“Mu Chen,” replied Mu Chen.

“I believe Luo Li has told you the matters regarding the Luo God Clan with the relationship the both of you have.”

Luo Tianshen continued to slowly speak, “I believe you also understand how important she is to the Luo God Clan.”

Luo Tianshen glanced at Mu Chen. “In the three years that Luo Li left, the Luo God Clan has undergone hundreds of battles, whether it was on a large or small scale. We have also lost countless of our people.”

Mu Chen went into his thoughts, as if he could smell the blood-reeking sea of blood spreading out. That sort of battle would definitely be cruel.

Luo Tianshen shifted his head as he looked at Luo Li, who was seated on a Lightning Eater Crane, she was also looking over at their direction from far away. The old man helplessly sighed as he spoke, “What I am going to tell you next is not to advise you to give up on Luo Li.”

“Do you see those two men?” Luo Tianshen cast a glance at the two men that fetched Luo Li.

“Among those two, one of them is called Luo Qingya. He can be considered a rare genius in the younger generation of the Luo God Clan; furthermore, he does not have any arrogance or impatience that most geniuses would have. All these years, he cultivated from the lowest position of the army and underwent all sorts of trials before becoming the captain of the Lightning Crane Army at such a young age. Right now, he also possesses considerable fame among the four armies of the Luo God Clan.

“The other one is called Luo Xiu, he is from a branch of the Luo God Clan’s royalty. His status is high, and ever since he was young, he was named trash. He was once thrown into the battlefield by his father, and at that time, he was only ten. In that battle, his father died, only he survived and managed to climb his way out of the mountain of corpses.

“Right now, he has also become one of the well-known figures in the younger generation of the Luo God Clan with unlimited prospects.”

Mu Chen went into silence, those two were definitely not ordinary people, and in the future, they would definitely become dominant figures. He could feel it as he sensed that those two were even more dangerous than Ji Xuan.

“The both of them are Luo Li’s knights, and likewise, they are also in love with Luo Li.” Luo Tianshen spoke as he stared at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen slightly knitted his brows as he looked at Luo Tianshen, “Patriarch Luo is trying to get me to give up knowing how difficult it is?”

“I’m not trying to ask you to give up, I just want you to know how outstanding those that like Luo Li are. If you do not have that ability, I’m afraid it won’t be a good thing for you to stand by her side.” Luo Tianshen spoke slowly.

“She’s too outstanding, and if you stand by her side, there will always be people that dislike you. And at that time, you will only suffer contempt from your strength or even suffer humiliation. At that time, do you want her to protect you from matters?”

Mu Chen submerged into his thoughts, what Luo Tianshen said had deeply affected him. However, he raised his head and smiled, it wasn’t a smile that was putting on a brave front.

He looked at Luo Tianshen and spoke in a severe tone, “Patriarch Luo, perhaps you might feel that I am arrogant and ignorant from what I am about to say. But I still have to say it…”

Mu Chen cast a glance at the two guys that made every single genius in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy dim, the brilliance in his eyes became even sharper as he revealed what was in his black pupils, “When I am of the same age as them, I will far surpass them.”

Luo Tianshen was stunned as he looked at the youth’s dazzling eyes. The confidence and drive that the latter possessed made him a little astonished. The courage of this youth doesn’t seem that bad.

“Looks like you don’t seem to agree with me. Since that’s the case, I will not speak any further and only time will tell if Luo Li’s choice was an ordinary rock or a dazzling diamond. I believe there will be an answer to that in the future.” Luo Tianshen didn’t speak any further as he understood the drive of the youth. He had seen many geniuses all these years, but in the end, most of them died young.

When this youth that stood before him suffered the harsh reality, only then will he understand the distance between him and Luo Li.

At that time, perhaps Luo Li could still persevere, and he might have quietly given up.

Luo Tianshen’s voice paused as he pondered for a brief moment and spoke, “Perhaps Luo Li has never told you this matter, and she should be against me telling you this, but I still have to let you know about it.”

“Battle Emperor of the West Heaven Realm… I believe you have heard of his name and you understand what that implies. After all, he is a great figure in the Great Thousand World. He once wanted Luo Li to enter the Great West Heaven, and in that way, the Luo God Clan will be protected by the West Heaven Battle Emperor. At that time, all the danger of the Luo God Clan will be resolved. However, Luo Li rejected him…”

Mu Chen’s pupils slightly narrowed. The West Heaven Battle Emperor, a fearsome existence whose name was on par with the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Ancestor of the Martial Realm.

Compared to that level, the current him was still too far away.

Mu Chen’s face finally turned heavier as he inhaled a deep breath of air, his black pupils were staring at Luo Tianshen closely with a deep and hoarse voice, “Patriarch Luo, you have taken Luo Li from me today, and in the future, I will definitely take her back from you. At that time, no one can obstruct me, no matter who he is.”

His eyes were flickering with scarlet-red as if he was a madman.

At that time, whether it was Luo Qingya, Luo Xiu or that West Heaven Battle Emperor, he would fear none of them!
