Chapter 1598: Scheming against Each Other

Long Xing was scared of Jiang Chen from the bottom of his heart .

It was because of this fear that he’d convinced himself that Jiang Chen had been relying on his distinguished identity to predict things with miraculous accuracy .

He’d assumed that Jiang Chen had achieved things that average people couldn’t achieve simply because Jiang Chen had had all kinds of endless resources .

In other words, Long Xing had assumed that Jiang Chen was only a mediocre man who wouldn’t have achieved anything without his identity and resources .

He was even surer of this after seeing Lin Yueru get injured . This was why he had arrived laughing .

“You behaved as a lying hypocrite in our meeting in the Realm of True Force to mislead the world so that I would be targeted by the Demons and the Blood Race . Also, you weren’t sure whether I was the practicing body or the true body at that point,” Jiang Chen said slowly .

Lin Yueru was in a very bad situation . The crystal in her back would pierce through her entirely very soon .

“You’re right,” Long Xing admitted his duplicity straightforwardly, because he knew it would be meaningless to deny it in front of Jiang Chen .

“You let your apprentice be humiliated because you know what kind of person he is . You wanted him to come after me to kill me at all costs,” Jiang Chen added .

Long Xing smiled without speaking . He neither admitted nor denied it .

In the opposite corner, Xiao Hongxue looked as if he was pondering the situation . He seemed to be in the throes of very complicated feelings .

“In addition, Yueru doesn’t want to be ageless like you . It’s you who want to be immortal like her . Am I right?” Jiang Chen made the most important point .

“That’s right,” Long Xing became rather emotional when this topic was brought up .

Seeing Lin Yueru getting old rapidly, he said coldly, “Being ageless and immortal were not separated in the first place . I was in love with this woman and gave her one of those two . However, 500 years passed, and during these 500 years, you were the only person this woman was thinking about . No matter what I did, I just couldn’t impress her . ”

It was hard to tell whether Lin Yueru had heard this speech . The divine crystal had pierced into her body completely, and she couldn’t even move .

“So I returned to the relics where we had been and found the divine crystal . It used to bear the ability to be ageless and immortal . I wanted to fetch what is supposed to be mine .

“However, the divine crystal has a specific purpose . The ability to be ageless and immortal is supposed to be inseparable . I couldn’t do it myself, and if I wanted to make others do the work, nobody would be able to because Yueru is too clever . ”

Jiang Chen looked awful by then . “So, you thought of me . ”

“Exactly . You told me if I wanted to convince someone, I would have to make him believe he’s the one who has the control,” Long Xing said with pride .

“So you even knelt down in front of me and told me you didn’t mind disclosing our secret to the world, and you gave me the divine crystal . ”

“Yes . You wouldn’t know that the crystal could activate itself . That was your blind spot . Even though you were the First Young Master of the Sacred Zone, there’s no way you could know the function of this divine crystal . ” Long Xing didn’t deny anything . However, at the mention of kneeling down, his eyes flashed with hatred .

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said, “Your plan isn’t complicated . ”

“The more complicated a plan is, the more flaws it’ll have . You said that also,” Long Xing said complacently .

“What about him?”

Jiang Chen pointed at the Shadow Yama with a serious look .

If Long Xing was collaborating with the Blood Race, it would be a very bad situation .

“Him? We take what we want . That’s all . I’ll kill him after you die,” Long Xing said calmly .

“As long as Lord Long Xing can stop me,” the Shadow Yama wasn’t angry . He smiled weirdly .

Jiang Chen looked toward Xiao Hongxue, who was observing the situation . He said, “You know so many secrets of your grand master’s, and you’ve disrespected him to such an extent . You even wanted to grab his immortal body . How do you think you will end up?”

Xiao Hongxue, who had been very silent, suddenly turned pale, as if he was facing a dangerous enemy . He was on his guard .

“Hongxue,” Long Xing yelled .

Xiao Hongxue came to himself and gave Jiang Chen a stare .

“The First Young Master of the Sacred Zone is trying to drive a wedge between my apprentice and me . What a low move! It’s true that resourcefulness is restricted by position . Currently, you can only resort to such a low move,” Long Xing said sarcastically .

PAH . PAH . PAH .

Jiang Chen applauded . He said with a smile, “Your plan is too simple, but extremely effective . That’s not bad . After all, we worked together for such a long time . ”

“Huh, it makes sense to bring this up at the moment . Although you’ve already realized what’s going on, you said yourself that there is only a thin line between geniuses and stupid people . Geniuses can figure things out in the first place, while stupid people can only figure things out in hindsight . ”

Long Xing seemed rather unhappy . He said, “And now, you’re the latter . ”

“Not necessarily . Maybe I’m the former,” Jiang Chen smiled more .

“What?” Long Xing frowned, not feeling good . That being said, he didn’t think Jiang Chen could turn the tide since the die had been cast .

“The smart part of your calculation is that I would’ve tried to verify what you told me, even though I didn’t know the divine crystal well .

“Even though I was baffled, pushed by you, I would be in danger, and Yueru would have to approach me .

“You worked along two lines . That’s great indeed . ”

By then Long Xing had thrown out his shoulders with pride .

“But you neglected one thing . Even if Yueru really was going to grab your ageless body at all costs, I would help her,” Jiang Chen suddenly changed his tone, which charged the air with tension .

“So what? You were doomed to failure the moment you took the divine crystal,” Long Xing shouted .

“It’s actually the contrary . The moment I took the divine crystal is when your failure started .

Jiang Chen laid his eyes on the divine crystal in Lin Yueru’s back . He said, “This is a vehicle of Extraordinary Power . It can take the Extraordinary Power in you and Yueru back by force . But you don’t know how to use it, so you wanted to use me .

“The thing is, I know this thing better than you do . Yueru, surprise him . ”

As soon as he’d finished speaking, Lin Yueru, who had been lying motionless, suddenly recovered completely .

The divine crystal pierced into her body turned into a flowing light . It penetrated Long Xing’s body at a speed that was even too high for him .

AH!

“Whaaaat?” Long Xing could only give one tragic scream . Then he froze just like Lin Yueru had a moment ago . All of his strength was taken away .

At the same time, driven by the divine crystal, his strength whooshed across the sky and flew into Lin Yueru’s body .

Lin Yueru gave a joyful scream . Her white hair became black and shining once again rapidly . Her skin became elastic again .

“Kill!”

This sudden twist made the Shadow Yama and Xiao Hongxue realize the situation had become unfavorable for them . They launched an attack against Jiang Chen at the same time .

Lin Yueru obstructed the Shadow Yama without effort .

However, Xiao Hongxue was about to succeed in killing the true body . But, in the end, Jiang Chen didn’t even throw him a glance . He flew over toward Long Xing instead .

PAH!

The sound of an electric shock rang out, and Xiao Hongxue was sent flying .

“You are so arrogant just because you are a Venerable Sovereign? How sad!” Xiao Nuo flew over . There was only coldness on her pretty face .

“Jiang Chen calculated all this!”

Seeing Xiao Nuo show up, the Shadow Yama knew this couldn’t be good for him . It was impossible to kill Jiang Chen . He started to think about escaping .

However, Lin Yueru didn’t give him the chance . Getting the ageless body helped her take a big leap in her fighting force . Every movement of her sword was fatal .
