Chapter 1825: The Strange Woman

That person immediately took out three divine items . There were one spear and two swords . They were all quasi divine items .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, I’ve taken out everything I own . Can you please let me off?” That person immediately felt more relaxed upon seeing that Long Chen merely wanted to rob him . He felt that as long as he handed his treasures over, Long Chen wouldn’t kill him .

“Don’t try to trick me . I’ve killed many people . I’ll give you to the count of three, and if you don’t hand over everything, I guarantee that you won’t see tomorrow’s sun . ” Long Chen smiled disdainfully .

Long Chen’s divine sense was completely locked onto this person . He could sense even the most imperceptible fluctuations . As nothing could escape his senses, lying to him was an impossibility .

That person’s expression changed . Under Long Chen’s icy gaze, he finally submitted, tossing out another seven divine items .

This person was truly a marvel . Ordinary spatial rings were unable to store divine items . The only exception was a spatial ring that had reached the same level as a divine item . Otherwise, they would need to be stored in a spiritual space .

In either case, he had to have forced the divine item to submit or sealed it, or he would simply be courting death . The self-detonation of a divine item would annihilate him .

As expected, these divine items all had sealing runes on them . This person was quite skilled in this regard, or there was no way he could have sealed this many divine items with his power .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, I swear these are all the divine items I have . I beg you to stay your hand and let me off . ”

This person was pale, looking as miserable as if his parents had just died . He knew that Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was many times stronger than his own . Hiding anything from Long Chen was suicide .

If he was tougher, he could refuse to hand over anything . He could have crushed his spatial ring, throwing the divine items into the chaotic flow of space so that no one could obtain them .

However, in front of Long Chen, it was impossible for him to be tough . He still wanted to live, so he had no choice but to hand over his treasures .

“You had quite a few . ” Long Chen smiled icily . Each of these divine items represented the life of an expert, or perhaps more accurately, the life of a Righteous expert .

This person’s power wasn’t worth crap in Long Chen’s eyes . His guess was that all the people he had killed had been people who had trusted him, his friends . There was no other way he could have killed so many experts in possession of divine items .

“Long Chen, you’re a peerless expert . I’ve already handed over my treasures . Killing me won’t get you anything more . Will you still kill me?” probed the man brazenly . A glint of resentment flashed in his eyes .

These divine items were all his treasures . For them, he had used his own connections, viciously attacking the people closest to him, but now, all those treasures had ended up in Long Chen’s hands . He was extremely unwilling, but he had no choice .

Long Chen suddenly slapped that person, sending him staggering back . “Scram . ”

After slapping him away, Long Chen didn’t look at him anymore . He grabbed the divine items and put them in the primal chaos space .

The man glared at Long Chen resentfully, but he didn’t dare to express it . He rushed away, vanishing within the mist .

“You bastard Long Chen, just wait! I won’t let you off for this! I’ll- AH!”

That person was in the midst of cursing Long Chen when he suddenly grabbed his head and tumbled to the ground, rolling around crazily .

“You bastard… you did something to my mind!”

When Long Chen had slapped him, he had sent a strand of Spiritual Strength into this man’s mind-sea .

When his resentment and rage flared, it would cause his soul to rage as well . After that, the single strand of Spiritual Strength would transform into a sharp blade, and countless illusions began to appear in his head .

He saw the friends he had betrayed and killed . They were covered in blood . Then he saw the very blade he had used to kill them in their hands . With it, they began to hack him over and over again .

“NO!”

A terrified scream rang out . In real life, he was rolling around crazily, but in his mind, he was unable to move . He could only allow these people to cut him to pieces .

Although Long Chen wasn’t a soul cultivator, he had learned some simple soul arts from Meng Qi, and his Spiritual Strength was extremely powerful . When that person’s resentment erupted, he would fall into his most terrifying nightmares . The more he was afraid of something, the more he would see it .

These illusions used his Yuan Spirit as fuel . They would continue until his Yuan Spirit ran out of energy and was incinerated . Only then would his pain stop .

However, a person’s Yuan Spirit had quite a bit of energy, and it could be incinerated for a long time . In other words, this person would slowly die amidst endless pain and suffering . Perhaps this was his retribution for betraying others .

…

Long Chen put away all the divine items . He supposed he had made quite a decent profit . As for that person’s fate, it was within his expectations .

“Thank you . ”

The woman gratefully bowed toward Long Chen .

Although her looks were ordinary, every single one of her movements contained an indescribable charm to them that made Long Chen feel like she looked very familiar .

“There’s no need to thank me . I was just being a robber . I’m even more evil than that person . But don’t worry, I’m much superior and tactful . Speaking of which… that sword is a calamity in your hands . How about you give it to me for safekeeping? Again, there’s no need for you to thank me . ” Long Chen waved his hand, looking at the sword in her hand .

The woman actually chuckled at Long Chen .

“Miss, I’m in the midst of robbing people, so please be more serious . Respect my profession . ” Long Chen hardened his expression .

“The great founder of the Dragonblood Legion, an unrivaled heavenly genius, the unmatched Long Chen would actually rob a weak woman? I don’t dare to believe it . ” The woman smiled at Long Chen without the slightest fear .

Long Chen swore inside . So he had been recognized . He immediately said, “I haven’t been doing too well in the world lately . It’s been tough . Sometimes I’m forced to be a robber to get some money to survive . Uh, girl, why do you look a bit familiar to me? Do I know you?”

“I know you, but you don’t know me . I’m just a nameless little figure, a nobody . My talent is only ordinary, while you are a dragon amongst men . How could you know me?” The woman sighed with sorrow .

“Hey, little girl, why do I feel like you sound world-weary? Did you enter the Yin Yang World to seek your own death? Cough, I put that badly, but you know what I mean . ” Long Chen had seen all kinds of people, but he felt that this woman was different from all of them .

“Seeking my own death? Perhaps . In the Yin Yang World, I’ve seen many ugly things . I don’t quite know what to do . ” A complicated expression appeared in her eyes . She seemed at a loss .

“Tch, another girl living in dreams . ” Long Chen shook his head . “You’re the same as that foolish Zi Yan . Either you are always protected by others when looking at the world, or you learn about the world only through other people’s mouths . Standing in the sunlight, you look at how amazing the world looks, yet you never see just how dark the places where the sunlight doesn’t reach are . Tch, I’m not going to get in another argument with one of you . ”

Just as Long Chen turned to leave, he hesitated . He took out a small arrow tube and handed it to her .

“This tube is an item used for sneak attacking that Guo Ran made for me . I’ll probably never use it, so based on the destiny that brought us together, you can have it . I also benefited a bit thanks to you . There’s a mechanism inside it that can be activated three times . Each time, it will shoot out three hundred poisoned needles that will paralyze someone . If you use it at close range without any warning, someone like that fellow just now would definitely be struck . You would then have a chance to kill him . Even if you can’t, you would have won a chance to run away . Girl, remember that life is beautiful, but it is definitely not perfect . When you despair, think of the things that make you happy, and you’ll feel that no matter where you go, there will still be sunlight in your heart . Alright, that’s all I have to say . I’m still busy, so goodbye . ”

Long Chen waved his hand and vanished, leaving the woman holding the tube . She looked in the direction Long Chen had gone . Without being aware of it, tears streamed down her face .

“Did he recognize me?”

“No one can recognize you . Furthermore, that evil weapon of Long Chen’s is currently in slumber, so there’s even less chance of him recognizing you . ” A voice rang out in the woman’s mind .

“If he didn’t recognize me, then he just gave an ugly, talentless girl that he didn’t even know a life-saving treasure, as well as saving her and comforting her . He really is still the same . He has not changed . He’s always been a good person . ”

“What makes a person good or bad depends on your viewpoint, just as Long Chen said . There were many things you couldn’t see before this . Now that you’ve changed your viewpoint, don’t you think you have seen a more truthful view?”

The girl nodded . “It really is a different view . It’s completely different from what my master and the Elders taught me . Senior, I’m lost . ”

“What is there to be lost about? Again, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world . What matters is where you stand . The things your master taught you are correct to her . As for what Long Chen said, he’s also correct . As for that fellow that snatches treasures from others to live, he is also correct . Using any means necessary is a method of survival . Naturally, you are lost now, but if you want to see the world clearly, you’ll need to view it from multiple angles . That’s the only way you can find a more complete view . ”

“Senior, I want to return to my old status . Please . ”

“No . ”

The mysterious voice merely gave an icy reply with no room for negotiation .
