Chapter 7120 Miao Yin’s Ambition

The translucent figure was a white-haired old man with an angular, sharp face that seemed carved with just a few strokes of a knife. He was like a furious lion. Even though it was just a projection with no pressure, that gaze alone could terrify others.

Well, most others. In front of his fury, Long Chen merely curled his lips in disdain.

“What kind of amazing thing are you?”

“That would be Li Zhifu,” called out Miao Yin. “He is the master of the Immortal Ascension Gate. His father was once a famous Heavenly Sovereign of the nine heavens.”

“Ah, I see. Is he a Heavenly Sovereign, though?” asked Long Chen.

Miao Yin shook her head. “He is not. But—”

“If you’re not even a Heavenly Sovereign, then who the fuck do you think you are to act mighty in front of me?!”

BOOM!

Long Chen waved his hand, and the Starry River Demon Suppressing Bell trembled. Astral energy turned into a storm. Li Zhifu’s projection and Li Mingdao’s Yuan Spirit were directly blown apart.

...

“You bastard, how dare you kill my descendant?! I will definitely make you suffer a life worse than death!”

Li Zhifu’s roar rang out from an underground room.

“You, come here!”

Following Li Zhifu’s roar, a black figure appeared in the room. It was in a strange, half-illusory state, as if it couldn’t decide whether it was a human or a ghost.

“Yingluo! Stop everything and investigate the death of Mingdao! I want the killers in chains in front of me in no more than ten days! Do anything, no matter the cost!” ordered Li Zhifu.

The newcomer was shocked to hear that Li Mingdao had been killed. He quickly said, “What about the first academy? In three days...”

“I’ll arrange for someone else to go! You carry out my orders!” Li Zhifu took a deep breath.

“As you wish.”

With this short acknowledgment, the figure disappeared.

...

“You... you really didn’t want to hear what he had to say?” Seeing Long Chen directly vaporize them, Miao Yin was rather surprised.

Although Li Zhifu was just a projection and had no power in that state, he was still the master of the Immortal Ascension Gate. For him to appear meant that there was room for negotiation. But Long Chen didn’t give him any chance to speak. Now, he was truly a mortal enemy of the Immortal Ascension Gate.

The experts on Miao Yin’s side were still terrified. This black-robed fellow didn’t even care about someone like Li Zhifu. For them to want to recruit him as a subordinate truly was a crazy dream.

“He’s just an old fogey whose brain is rotting. Isn’t it obvious what he was going to say? Who has time to waste on trash like that? Also, for some reason, he seemed pretty hateful. When I looked at him, I felt an urge to slap him,” said Long Chen indifferently.

Miao Yin laughed. “Your senses truly are shocking. Li Zhifu actually is targeting you, or perhaps I should say he is targeting the first academy. Are you going to do anything about that, Dean Long Chen?”

Dean Long Chen?

Miao Yin’s people were deeply shaken. They had long since heard of Long Chen’s name. The High Firmament Academy’s youngest dean in history, and the one crowned with the title of the number one figure of the junior generation! Although that title had been spread around by the Brahma line to get him killed, the fact of the matter was that Long Chen was still alive and well even after being challenged by countless other heavenly geniuses. So far as everyone knew, he actually did deserve the title.

They had truly never expected that a random person they encountered on their way would be the existence that shook the nine heavens and ten lands. However, they then looked at the tiny flying boat he was on. They truly could not imagine how someone so terrifying could be so poor. Even an ordinary heavenly genius would have countless followers by their side and an extravagant battleship. Those were all markers of a peak expert. Long Chen didn’t match the image in their minds at all.

Just as Long Chen was about to speak, Miao Yin said, “Dean Long Chen, my subordinates were rude just now. Allow me to apologize to you again. I hope you won’t hold a grudge. I will take the responsibility and suffer punishment you deem fit.”

When she spoke, Long Chen heard a sound that was beyond simply her voice. Yet he didn’t reply, and simply looked at her calmly.

Miao Yin then followed up with something that utterly shocked her followers. “Since I was the one who was at fault, there’s no way I can just avoid blame. Let us carry out our bet from before. Please give me some pointers, Dean Long Chen!”

Everyone was stunned. That was Long Chen! Those two triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns had been slain like chickens! Yet their mistress still wanted to challenge him? If she lost, she would be Long Chen’s servant!

“What did I say? I was right, wasn’t I? She really is powerful,” said Zi Yan. “Furthermore, just like you, she is very brazen. So what do you think? Are you going to take the bet?”

Long Chen was rather surprised. Miao Yin now knew he was strong, but still wanted to gamble with him. In other words, she had utmost confidence in her power. In other-other words, she was exactly like him, someone posing as a pig in order to eat the tigers coming for her.

Seeing Long Chen’s hesitation, Miao Yin smiled. “It just so happens that I am the same as you. I have great ambitions, so great that they cover the entire nine heavens and ten lands. The Heavenly Sound Sect is just a starting point. But I obviously cannot rely on myself for everything, so I had to gather subordinates. If I have you on my side, then achieving this wild ambition of mine will be much easier. Of course, if I lose, I will become your servant, and I will be loyal to you until death. I am not joking, and I am not exaggerating. I truly will help you achieve all your goals.

“In fact, I can tell you that although I have just started out, I have subordinates spread across all the nine heavens and ten lands. I just mentioned your first academy, right? Three days from now, the Immortal Ascension Gate will gather a hundred eighty-three top-rate factions to surround the first academy. That includes the Underworld Ghost Gate, the Corpse Devil Sect, the Heavenly Demon Golden Crystal Monkey race, and dozens of other factions on par with them. The majority of their experts will be going, and I am knowledgeable about all of them. For a tiger like you, having me on your side is like having a pair of wings.”

Miao Yin’s voice was truly seductive, and her words shocked even Zi Yan. The Heavenly Sound Sect had only just come out of hiding, yet Miao Yin had already planted her forces in all the major factions. That kind of skill was truly terrifying! As a comparison, Huayun Trading Company’s network was simply titanic, yet the information that Zheng Wenlong had given Long Chen was nowhere near this detailed. There was no mention of the Immortal Ascension Gate, for instance.

Ignoring Miao Yin’s personal power, just this infiltration ability would be enough to get accurate information from every corner of the nine heavens and ten lands. Adding on Miao Yin’s beauty and musical talent, how could anyone not be moved?

Miao Yin looked at Long Chen expectantly. There was an indescribable fire in her eyes, a fire that could make anyone melt. Anyone apart from Long Chen would have been subjugated by that gaze without even putting up a fight.

“You will definitely lose. Are you sure you want to do this?” asked Long Chen.

Hearing that, Miao Yin calmly nodded. “Although I know your reputation, I am also confident in myself. Although I won’t say that I will definitely win, I believe there is no chance I will lose!”

“In that case, Fairy Miao Yin, let me experience your abilities!”

Long Chen finally nodded. He was truly curious just how powerful Miao Yin was.
