Chapter 1084: 1084

The next day, Long Chen brought Tang Wan-er to Treasure Gem Island . She directly went to a certain shop and pointed at a necklace on the wall with an embarrassed expression .

Long Chen looked at it and immediately understood . This necklace was called Blessing of the Wind Fairy . It had a heart-shaped pendant that was half-transparent, and energy was fluctuating within it like water .

In truth, that wasn’t water, but wind energy . This pendant was created from a Heavenly Wind Crystal, a treasure every wind attribute cultivator longed for .

By wearing it, she would be able to comprehend the profundities of wind more easily while cultivating . When using magical arts, she would be able to link up to heaven and earth’s wind energy, allowing her to cast them more quickly and with more power .

Without a second word, Long Chen directly handed over his crystal card . He knew why Tang Wan-er didn’t buy it . It cost eighty million points . After buying it, the Dragonblood Legion’s points would drop precipitously .

But Long Chen didn’t mind . Spending however much money was fine if it was for Tang Wan-er . On the contrary, he felt that he was the one who owed her far too much . He doubted he could repay it in his lifetime .

He personally put the necklace on Tang Wan-er, making her indescribably moved . Even her eyes became moist . Not daring to look at Long Chen, she turned away to wipe away her tears .

That made Long Chen even more ashamed . In truth, Tang Wan-er had very low requirements for him . She was a very easily satisfied woman .

Long Chen brought Tang Wan-er for a stroll . After a while, he learned that there were very few pieces of equipment for wind attribute cultivators, and there were essentially no weapons to be found . That was because for wind attribute experts, their strongest weapon was the wind that existed around them .

Currently, Tang Wan-er had yet to reach Foundation Forging, and she didn’t have the qualifications to enter the Xuantian Catalog to cultivate . Each person only had one chance to enter the Xuantian Catalog . Once they left, they would never be able to enter again .

In fact, even a monster like Long Chen wasn’t an exception . He had found his inheritance in the Xuantian Catalog, and after that, his fate with the Xuantian Catalog had ended . He would also never be able to enter again .

In order to allow the disciples to make the greatest gains in the Xuantian Catalog, they were only allowed to enter after reaching Foundation Forging .

However, there were exceptions for people like Meng Qi, Yue Zifeng, and Wilde who possessed special attributes . For others, entering too early might be wasting their best opportunity .

Long Chen brought Tang Wan-er around Treasure Gem Island for a day, and he bought quite a few trifles just to make Tang Wan-er happy . Tang Wan-er also bought a few small gifts for Meng Qi .

Time passed by . Just as everyone was energetically drilling their formations, the bell to gather finally sounded on the seventh day . All the inner sect disciples once more gathered in the plaza .

As soon as they were present, they were sent directly to the Infernal Devil Abyss . This time, they appeared on a huge wall that stretched far into the distance .

In front of the wall was a boundless black wasteland . The ground was ink-black and emitted a corrosive aura . In fact, the smell of death came from it .

“The Dragonblood Legion, Heaven Female Alliance, and Ten Thousand Insect Guild are in charge of defending this place . ”

They had only just arrived on top of the wall when a figure descended from the sky . That person was precisely the previous generation’s top heavenly genius, Gao Xianyang .

The army on this battlefield was being led by the Law Enforcement Hall’s disciples, so they had the authority over who defended where .

Seeing that it was Gao Xianyang, Long Chen sneered . But he didn’t say anything . Gao Xianyang continued, “There are a total of three passes in this wall . Of course, those passes have been closed . What you need to do is to not allow a huge number of ninth rank devil beasts to attack the wall . Although the wall is protected by divine runes, it can’t handle too many attacks from the ninth rank devil beasts . As for devil beasts weaker than that, they won’t be able to cause any substantial harm to the wall . However, once there are too many eighth rank devil beasts gathered, they’ll pile up like a mountain . Once that mountain reaches the height of the wall, they’ll be able to get past .

“Your mission is to not allow a single devil beast get by . Right now, the place you were guarding last time is defended by a group of outer sect disciples . If too many devil beasts get by, I’m sure you can imagine the consequences . The wall is three hundred meters high, and these devil beasts cannot fly . As long as you don’t allow them to pile up, blocking them should be simple enough .

“That’s all I have to say . The rest is up to you . Long Chen, don’t disappoint me! Everyone else, come with me . You will be guarding another region . ”

Gao Xianyang smiled profoundly at Long Chen . Waving his hand, he led the Flame Gate, Divine Beast Mansion, and Hegemon Hall’s disciples away .

Now, the only ones here were the three factions of the Dragonblood Legion, Heaven Female Alliance, and Ten Thousand Insect Guild .

“Gao Xianyang definitely gave us the most difficult spot to defend . He must have given them the safer regions,” said Wang Zhen .

Thinking of Long Chen’s past interactions with Gao Xianyang, a bad feeling arose in many people’s hearts .

“If you were my subordinate, I’d kick you,” said Long Chen . “If it weren’t for our past relations, I’d suspect you were a spy sent by Gao Xianyang to rattle people . ”

“Sorry, that wasn’t my intention,” apologized Wang Zhen .

“It doesn’t matter . In front of absolute power, all schemes are nonsense, just jokes,” laughed Long Chen . Turning to everyone, he said, “Riches and opportunity are found in danger . If we just wanted to be safe, why would we even come out? We’d just stay home eating and drinking . Right now, I’m looking forward to this dangerous region Gao Xianyang set up for us . On the contrary, I was worried he would give us a safe place where we wouldn’t even be able to see a devil beast .

“Only when there are many devil beasts can we make the most points . Furthermore, this is the best opportunity for us . The Foundation Forging disciples only get ten thousand points for killing a ninth rank devil beast . As our strength grows, the points for killing ninth rank devil beasts drop . So right now, this is the last chance where we can still get a million points for killing a ninth rank devil beast .

“This kind of opportunity is too rare . Let me warn you, keep your eyes open when the devil beasts come . Don’t blame the Dragonblood Legion for being too vicious and taking all the points . ”

Putting it this way, everyone’s tense hearts loosened . Yes, this was precisely an opportunity to become rich .

Right now, they were all at the peak of Sea Expansion . Once they advanced to Foundation Forging, the points gained from killing any devil beasts would drop . It was just like what Long Chen had just said . They should be praying for more devil beasts .

The Dao Sect’s rewards were very fair . The number of points given was based on the disciple’s combat strength and the danger involved .

When you were weaker, it was more dangerous to kill devil beasts, and so the rewards were naturally higher . Once you were stronger, killing devil beasts became easier and the rewarded points dropped . Last time, just one ninth rank devil beast had been worth ten million points . These disciples had instantly experienced what it meant to go from a beggar to moneybags . That refreshing feeling was something they wouldn’t be able to forget .

Now that Long Chen said that this might be their last chance to make such wealth, quite a few them turned red-eyed . They wished for the devil beasts to cover all of heaven and earth . Some people really did worry there would be too few devil beasts and that they might start fighting over them . The Dragonblood Legion was too intimidating now .

Seeing Long Chen wipe away the unease caused by Wang Zhen’s careless words made both Hua Shiyu and Wang Zhen completely convinced . Long Chen was a natural leader . Each word he said, each action he made, was full of the charisma of a leader .

Furthermore, each sentence, each word, was full of his absolute confidence, making it so nobody doubted the veracity of his words .

“Alright, don’t overthink things . Gao Xianyang won’t be so nice as to let us laze about here . Normally, each time the devil beasts erupt, they will start with the weakest ones . The Dragonblood Legion doesn’t need more tempering . If there are any formations that you feel like your factions are uncomfortable with, you can use that chance to train . Oh, they arrived this quickly!”

Long Chen was in the midst of talking when he started to hear mixed roars coming from not far . Although there was still nothing on the horizon, they could hear them .

Hua Shiyu and Wang Zhen had their people jump off the wall . They advanced to a suitable distance before arranging their formations .

Unlike the Dragonblood Legion, thousands of new disciples had joined their factions . Although their drilling went decently, the support disciples hadn’t entered the battlefield before . No one knew whether or not there would be mistakes from their nervousness .

As the roars approached, countless black spots appeared on the horizon . They were like a tide pouring over them . Nevertheless, the fact that they were essentially all seventh rank devil beasts allowed the Heaven Female Alliance and Ten Thousand Insect Guild’s disciples to sigh with relief .

Once those devil beasts were closer, hundreds of people from the two factions flew into the air . They threw out golden rays of light that flew amongst the devil beasts . Explosions shook the sky as those devil beasts were blown apart .

“Talisman cultivators . ” Long Chen smiled slightly . Those disciples were throwing out talismans . When they exploded, their power was not bad .

Talismans required special paper, ink, and writing utensils . With just a thought from the talisman cultivators, their talismans could be detonated .

Right now, they were just practicing . These talismans were just ordinary ones . They hadn’t taken out their powerful ones .

“These talismans cultivators are very dashing,” said Guo Ran enviously .

Although his Spiritual Strength was alright, it was lacking some spirituality and stability . There was no way for him to write runes onto thin paper . He could carve them onto solid armor, but it was fated for him to be unable to become a talisman cultivator .

After the attacks of the talisman cultivators, the rest of the faction also made their battle preparations . All the disciples took out their weapons .

Just at this moment, two women from the two factions soared into the air, ancient zithers in their hands . Waves of music rang out, startling Long Chen .
