Chapter 3228: 3228
Chapter 3228 Sword Pointed at the Chu Family
Long Chen was brought to a secret underground world beneath the Luo family’s territory. This was their most hidden place.
There were layers of protective formations here, and the spiritual qi was incredibly dense. At this moment, Long Chen saw six hundred warriors of the Luo family here, their eyes filled with emotions.
Some of them had more, some of them had less, but within all of their eyes, Long Chen saw a trace of violet blood. However, there were no violet pupils. Violet pupils were the mark of their violet blood reaching a certain density. In all the generations of the Luo family, only Luo Zichuan had awakened violet pupils, and that was only because of Violet Fern.
Even so, Luo Changwu was incredibly excited. Those disciples had all become Primals. He felt like he was in a dream. This fruit was absolutely heaven-defying.
Long Chen then saw Luo Bing and Luo Ning amongst them. He waved at them.
They were unaware that the fruit they had eaten had come from Long Chen. Luo Changwu classified this matter as the highest level secret of the Luo family.
Except for Luo Bing and Luo Ning, the other disciples would become the hidden power of the Luo family. They would not be allowed out of this underground space lightly.
If the rest of the world were to learn that the Luo family had produced six hundred Primals overnight, they would be in danger.
At this moment, Luo Changwu and Long Chen returned to the surface. However, Luo Changwu’s excitement had yet to fade. “Long Chen, you are the greatest benefactor of the Luo family!”
“You’re too courteous. I am the one who received great kindness from the Luo family,” said Long Chen with a smile. Of course he owed the Luo family. Without the Luo family, how could he have come to exist?
Long Chen continued, “The family head is no longer present, and we are surrounded by enemies. We cannot continue like this. As for myself, I cannot stay in the Luo family forever. I hope to resolve this problem soon so that I can return to the academy.”

“Resolve it? What do you mean?” asked Luo Changwu.
“I mean let us pluck out the Chu family by the roots and have them vanish from this world,” said Long Chen.
Luo Changwu jumped in shock. “That… that’s difficult. The Chu family has a half-step Immortal King. Furthermore, they worship Lord Brahma’s divine statue. If they use that faith energy, that expert’s power will rival an Immortal King. Furthermore, the Chu family has plenty of experts. It’s unknown just how many of them are being raised in secret. They are all Lord Brahma and Fallen Daynight’s followers. Once they draw on the power of their gods, their power soars. If we fight against them directly, we won’t have an advantage. Most importantly, father isn’t present. We don’t have the power to fight them like that. If their higher-ups were to learn that father is no longer present, it would be the Luo family that is in danger of being destroyed.”
The Luo family and the Chu family were mortal enemies. They all dreamed of eliminating the other. However, both sides were evenly matched. Without assurance, no one wanted to take the risk of attacking the other.
Long Chen shook his head. “This is no solution. The Chu family definitely has some secret methods for drawing the devil sea’s sea demons to the Ying Prefecture. With the Chu family also in a position to attack, the Luo family had no choice but to split their attention. You are in a constant tense state. Maintaining that state would make anyone weary over time. The other aspect is that as you lead the Ying Prefecture’s experts against the sea demons, although you won every time, there are always some losses. Such constant invasions will slowly grind you down. It doesn’t matter whether it is the Luo family or the other forces of the Ying Prefecture, they won’t be able to endure forever. If the birth of new geniuses doesn’t keep up with the losses, people will naturally get nervous. As time passes, their morale starts to fall. Then when the Chu family adds some more mental warfare, you will crack from the inside, and the Luo family will have no chance of turning things around.”

Luo Changwu sighed. “I’ve also thought of all of that. But there is no good way to deal with any of it. However, now we have six hundred more Primals. Once they grow up, there’s no need for them to even reach the Divine Lord realm. Just the peak of the Four Peak realm will be enough for us to trample the Chu family. It won’t take too long, maybe two or at most three years. We’ve been waiting for so many years; we’re not missing two or three.”
Long Chen bitterly smiled. This uncle of his was just as Luo Zichuan said. He was focused on defense, not offense. He always did things steadily, without taking risks.
“Martial-uncle, my character is a bit like the family head’s. It can be said that in my life, if I’m not attacking, I’m on the road to attacking. Defense isn’t my specialty, but I do have a sharp nose for conflict. Don’t you feel that the Chu family’s mischief this time is very sudden?”
“You mean…?”
“Let’s think logically. The Chu family suffered setbacks in the High Firmament Academy. Their four Primal disciples were slain by me in the Nine Prefecture Convention. I used heavenly tribulation to kill so many of the Bloodkill Hall’s experts, and countless sects disbanded overnight as a result. Logically, now is not the time for them to make such a move. They should be quietly waiting and watching. Isn’t it unnatural for them to provoke the Luo family at this time?”
“Now that you say this, it is a bit strange,” said Luo Changwu, feeling startled.
Long Chen continued, “Thus, there must be something we don’t know. Although we don’t know what it is, my intuition tells me that the more we hesitate, the more danger there will be. Since you wish to be conservative, how about we launch a sneak attack as a probing blow to see the real situation in the Chu family?”
“What kind of probing blow?” asked Luo Changwu.
“I wish to know, how is Uncle Wen’s power compared to yours?” asked Long Chen.
“Big brother is a bit stronger than me. It is said that he has touched the barrier,” said Luo Changwu. Luo Changwen’s realm was a bit higher than his. But just touching the barrier didn’t mean that he could progress to the next step.
Touching the barrier was equivalent to seeing the path ahead. However, there was still a heavenly chasm blocking that path, and if it couldn’t be walked through, it still meant nothing in the end.
“Alright. It’ll take a few days for me to refine some medicinal pills. Once you and the other peak Primal Divine Lords of the Luo family consume these pills, you will all possess the power of half-step Immortal Kings,” said Long Chen.
“What medicinal pill is so amazing?” Luo Changwu jumped in shock.
Long Chen smiled. “You’ll know when the time comes. So, can we try this?”
“If you really can refine a pill like this, we definitely can try probing the truth about the Chu family,” said Luo Changwu. He was very moved. He was growing more and more shocked when it came to Long Chen.
“Alright. I’ll borrow the precious land of the family head to refine pills in. That’s no problem, right?”
“Naturally, it is no problem.”
“Then it’s decided. First tell uncle Wen about this, and wait for my good news,” said Long Chen. After saying this, he headed toward the Honing Heavenly Staircase.
Staring at his departing figure, Luo Changwu sighed deeply. Long Chen had truly stunned him. He was a very terrifying youngster. Fortunately, he was a friend of the Luo family.
After this, Long Chen smiled a bit sinisterly.
“What probing blow? Who has time to play with them? We’re going to play big.”
The pitiable Luo Changwu still had no idea that he had been conned by his nephew. In Long Chen’s eyes, there was no such thing as a probing blow. If he were to launch an attack, it would be to end things once and for all.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
