CHAPTER 689: CHAPTER 686: THE GREAT ELDER OF DRAGON CONTROL CASTLE!

Li Chen, ignoring Ling Shuanghua’s astonished gaze, busied himself with his own tasks.

Half an hour later, the roasted meat was golden all over, with oil seeping from the skin, its aroma wafting for miles.

Even Ling Shuanghua, a Heavenly Pride Girl, was dazzled by the sight, and unconsciously swallowed her saliva twice.

Li Chen tore off a tiger leg and waved it in front of Ling Shuanghua, asking, "Want some?"

Just as Ling Shuanghua was about to reach out to take it, she had a second thought. As the Heavenly Pride Girl of the Cloud Sea Sect, how could she eat such lowly food? She immediately shook her head and said, "No, you eat it yourself!"

Li Chen asked, "Really don’t want it?"

Ling Shuanghua declined again, "No!"

"Perfect, I’ll have it all to myself then!"

After saying that, Li Chen stopped paying attention to Ling Shuanghua and heartily began eating.

Moreover, his eating manners were quite unsightly, smacking his lips, causing Ling Shuanghua to involuntarily swallow her saliva, even feeling hungry, something she never knew before.

But as a Heavenly Pride Girl, having spoken, her words were like spilled water, impossible to take back.

Ling Shuanghua remembered there was a Spirit Fruit Tree nearby, the fruits tasted not bad, so she planned to pick some to satiate her hunger. Out of sight, out of mind, so she wouldn’t have to watch Li Chen enjoying his meal and smacking his lips.

But just as she took two steps, Li Chen’s voice suddenly rang out.

"What are you going to do?"

Ling Shuanghua casually replied, "Just taking a walk by the mountain stream over there!"

"You’re not allowed to go!"

As he spoke, Li Chen’s gaze inadvertently glanced towards the deeper part of the forest.

Ling Shuanghua was surprised, coldly laughed and said, "Ha, my legs are on my own body, I’ll go if I want. Why should I listen to you?"

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Li Chen’s expression change, and a suspicion arose in her heart.

Suddenly, Ling Shuanghua thought of something terrifying, subconsciously looked around, and hugged her arms involuntarily shivering.

In the wilderness, he had eaten nutritious tiger whip, if he wanted to do something evil, wouldn’t she be like a lamb to the slaughter?

While Ling Shuanghua’s thoughts were rapidly spinning, fifty miles away in the depths of a dense forest:

About twenty shadows, ghost-like, gathered there.

Surrounded by them, was a giant black-armored python, dozens of feet long and as thick as a water barrel.

On the python stood a weak, hunched old man with white hair and beard.

His eyes shady, he stared fixedly ahead.

After a long while, a black silhouette flashed from the distance and knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to the Great Elder, fifty miles ahead. There’s a young man and woman, both about Late-stage Foundation Establishment in cultivation, roasting meat and eating!"

Hearing "roasting meat and eating," the hunched old man sinisterly smiled.

He had been worried about encountering some Heaven’s Chosen Sons or Holy Daughters from the Great Sects or Great Families, which could lead to unnecessary trouble, hence he had sent someone to scout.

But it seemed he had been worried for nothing.

Those from Great Families and Great Sects, the Direct Disciples, would only consume pills and drink Immortal Dew, never demeaning themselves by eating the bodies of Demon Beasts.

Only some Loose Cultivators, or lower-level sects would do so. After all, pills and Immortal Dew were expensive, not something just anyone could afford.

"Cai Mao, Wang Tong, Zhang Da, Yan Ping, you four go and encircle them, leave no survivors. This time, no matter what, our Dragon Control Castle must obtain Master Sanchi’s treasure!"

Thinking of this, a greedy and hot desire emerged uncontrollably in the shadowy eyes of the hunched old man.

He was now a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, and if he could obtain the great fortune left by Master Sanchi, he might be able to break through his bottleneck, refine his Nascent Soul, and join the ranks of top-level experts in the Cultivation Realm.

By then, their Dragon Control Castle would also rise like the tide, advancing from a Human-level Sect to an Earth-level Sect.

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Four elite disciples responded in succession, then turned into streaks of light, swiftly moving towards Li Chen and Ling Shuanghua.

...

"What do you think you’re doing?"

Ling Shuanghua clasped her hands over her chest, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, full of wariness as she looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen shook his head, replying succinctly, "Don’t want to!"

"Uh, don’t want to?"

Ling Shuanghua was confused, her face full of doubt as she looked at Li Chen.

By the time she grasped what he meant, her pretty face blushed fiercely, scolding, "Pervert!"

Li Chen looked at Ling Shuanghua with interest and casually asked, "So how should I answer to not be a pervert? Should I say I want to?"

Ling Shuanghua was flabbergasted and didn’t know how to respond to that question.

"Well then, I’ll just go with your wish!"

As he spoke, Li Chen suddenly stood up, brushed the dust from his hands, and walked towards Ling Shuanghua.

Ling Shuanghua was shocked and instinctively stepped back.

But after retreating more than ten steps, there was an ancient tree behind her, leaving no way out.

Seeing Ling Shuanghua trying to escape, Li Chen immediately stretched out his arm, and with a very domineering move, blocked her way back.

Ling Shuanghua’s eyes widened, getting ready to defend herself to the death, when suddenly, she saw Li Chen wink at her.

Four people have come, two in the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, one Half Golden Core, and one Quasi Golden Core. I’ll take the right side, you handle the left, any problems?

Hearing Li Chen’s thought-transferred message, Ling Shuanghua was startled. She steadied her heart and reached out with her thoughts to scout.

Indeed, as Li Chen had expected, four masters were hidden in the dark.

She nodded slightly, indicating she was ready.

Li Chen stretched out his hand, gently lifted Ling Shuanghua’s chin, feigning a flirtatious gesture.

Seeing this provocative scene, the four elite disciples from Dragon Control Castle were all bright-eyed.

Just as they prepared to enjoy the show, Li Chen swiftly turned sideways, his fingertips flicking out two cold, gleaming short swords, throwing them towards the rear right flank.

These were the fangs of a Saber-Toothed Tiger, extremely sharp, turning into two flashes of lightning, breaking through the air with great speed, reaching a velocity five times the speed of sound. Covering a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the two elite disciples from Dragon Control Castle were still looking forward to the show and weren’t expecting Li Chen’s sudden attack. Caught completely off guard, just as they realized death was upon them, they didn’t have time to react before being struck dead.

Simultaneously with Li Chen’s move, Ling Shuanghua spat out a Golden Needle.

The speed of this Golden Needle was also extremely fast, and as a top-grade spiritual tool, its penetrative power was even sharper than Li Chen’s fangs, piercing through the brow of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment expert instantly, killing him on the spot.

However, when she prepared to take the life of another, that person surprisingly had a Turtle Shell Shield hidden on him, blocking this fatal attack.

Seeing that without even engaging, his side had already lost three companions, his heart was shocked and pale, and he turned to flee.

But at that moment, a streak of light quickly caught up and blocked his escape!
