Chapter 200 Graveyard of the Exiled

Three days later, Long Chen walked out of his immortal cave exhausted . He saw that outside the immortal cave, his entire faction had gathered to send him off . And it wasn’t just his people, but also Ye Zhiqiu’s faction had come as well .

Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and five other core disciples had also come over . They had all expressed their support of Long Chen on that day .

But unfortunately their support hadn’t changed the monastery’s decision . But in any case, they were still filled with respect for Long Chen .

His strength wasn’t necessarily the strongest, but he always dared to resist the rules, dared to confront enemies, and dared to face any hardships without any fear .

“Oh, how lively; did you all some here to send me off?” laughed Long Chen .

“You really are my good brothers, my good sisters . But you guys look a bit too unpresentable . Where are the streamers and ribbons? If you waved those around while cheering my name, that’d definitely be grander . ”

Everyone saw that Long Chen appeared completely exhausted . They assumed he had begun to feel the pressure of being exiled .

But no one ridiculed him . After all, that was a path of definite death . For him to even dare to choose that path already proved his bravery .

Most amazing of all though was that Long Chen didn’t appear to feel the slightest despair or fear . He actually could still joke around with everyone at such a time .

Tang Wan-er walked over to Long Chen . Her tears streamed down before she could even say anything .

Long Chen laughed, “You can’t cry in the future . I’ve already said I’d make anyone who made you cry bleed . Do you want me to stab myself?”

Tang Wan-er wanted to laugh, but she was unable to . A painful feeling filled her heart, but she didn’t even know what feeling that was .

She had a mountain of things she wanted to say, but at this moment, she was unable to say anything .

“Don’t worry . Who do you think I, Long Chen, am? As a huge scoundrel, I have a sturdy life that will survive any disasters . I’ll be fine . ” Long Chen consoled Tang Wan-er when he saw her continue to cry .

“Stay safe . ” Tang Wan-er looked at Long Chen through her tears .

“I promise, I’ll return alive . ” Long Chen solemnly extended a hand .

“Ok, then I’ll trust you . But if you break your promise, I’ll hate you for a lifetime . ”

Tang Wan-er clasped hands with Long Chen . Long Chen’s promise calmed her down a greal deal . She knew Long Chen was someone who kept his promises .

At this time Qing Yu walked over and gently tidied up his collar . “You have to be careful this time . You can’t be negligent or careless at all . Do you understand?”

In front of Qing Yu’s older sister-like love, Long Chen’s heart soured slightly . But he suppressed his own emotions and nodded .

“Boss, you must definitely return . We’ll all go take revenge together . ” Guo Ran also came up, reluctant to part with him .

Long Chen patted him on the shoulders . “Good brother, I’ll definitely return . When I do, we’ll properly go settle our debt with them .

“I still have something to tell you . You possess an expert’s Dao-heart, and you obviously understand what it truly means to protect something .

“But your talent isn’t all that high . So in the future you’ll suffer greatly . If you really want to become a true expert, you need to blaze a new cultivation path . ”

Guo Ran nodded, understanding what Long Chen meant . He possessed no advantage by just cultivating normally . He needed to find an unorthodox method to break through of his current self .

Suddenly the sky darkened and a huge Hawk Eagle[1] flew over, descending to the ground . It was over fifty meters long and gave everyone there an intense pressure . It was a powerful third rank Magical Beast .

There was an Elder standing atop the Hawk Eagle . He said to Long Chen, “The time has arrived . Say your final goodbye to your friends . ”

Long Chen shook his head and smiled slightly . Jumping atop the Hawk Eagle, he said, “There’s no need for farewells . We will see each other again . ”

Looking at his brothers and sisters, he shouted, “Ok, everyone return and work hard to cultivate . I’m going to have a little stroll . ”

That Elder patted the Hawk Eagle and it spread its wings, releasing a powerful astral wind as it soared into the sky . It disappeared from people’s vision in an instant .

Seeing that figure disappear, everyone said their own farewells and returned to their factions . Now that the gap had been pulled open, if they didn’t cultivate as hard as they could, the gap would only grow wider .

Tang Wan-er returned to her immortal cave . Atop the table were countless bottles and jars as well as a piece of paper .

The paper told Tang Wan-er that the name of these medicinal pills was the Muscle Nourishing Pill . It was a medicinal pill for use at the early stage of Muscle Rebirth . It would allow spiritual qi to nourish the muscles faster, increasing one’s cultivation speed .

She looked from the words on the page to the bottles of medicinal pills . That was the result of Long Chen refining for three days and nights .

Tang Wan-er could no longer hold back and all, bursting into tears . Qing Yu walked over and patted her on the shoulders, consoling her .

“Long Chen will definitely return . He refined these medicinal pills for us because he was afraid we wouldn’t have enough points to keep up with the others while he’s gone . So what you need to do now is to distribute these medicinal pills to everyone . You and Ye Zhiqiu also need to quickly increase your own strength . ”

Tang Wan-er wiped away her tears and nodded, “Sister Qing Yu, I know . I’ll get stronger . I have a debt to settle with those bastards . ”

…

Within an Elder’s immortal cave, a young disciple was standing before Elder Sun . From his robes, he seemed like a law enforcer, one of Long Chen’s senior apprentice-brothers .

“Jiang Hao, did you remember everything I told you? First is to bring back Long Chen’s spatial ring, and the other thing is to capture his soul in this Soul Locking Pearl . You musn’t forget,” solemnly warned Elder Sun .

“Disciples understands,” that person respectfully bowed .

“Although you are already an expert in the mid Muscle Rebirth realm, that doesn’t mean anything in the rubble wasteland . There are countless third rank Magical Beasts, and there are even fourth rank Magical Beasts .

“I’ll give you two Aura Concealing Pills . Once you take it, as long as you don’t intentionally release your aura, no Magical Beasts will be able to sense you .

“Take one on the way there, handle Long Chen, and take another one of the way back . Remember, you can’t leak any news of this at all,” once more solemnly warned Elder Sun .

“Yes, disciple understands . ”

“Ok, go . Once you accomplish this, I’ll personally help you break through to the late Muscle Rebirth realm . ”

“Many thanks Elder . ” That person was delighted, hastily bowing once more before leaving .

Seeing that person disappear, Elder Sun smiled sinisterly . Long Chen, just how are you planning on escaping now?

…

Sitting atop the flying Magical Beast, Long Chen realized they were flying straight north . All kinds of arduous lands passed beneath them . High mountains, thick forests, deep winding gorges…

“Do you have any regrets?” That Elder was the first to open his mouth .

“No . Even if I had to do it again, I’d do it the same . ” Long Chen shook his head . He knew that he was also helpless about this .

That Elder ruefully looked at Long Chen . “Young people really have it the best . Looking at you, I’m reminded of myself when I joined the monastery . Haha, sixty years passed in an instant . My sharpness has long since been grinded away . ”

“Elder, can you help me do something?” Seeing that this Elder was so amicable, he had an idea .

“Hey, hey, we’re just chatting . I can’t help you cheat . ” That Elder immediately became on guard .

He thought Long Chen would want him to send him somewhere else . In any case, no one else would know . Once Long Chen returned to the monastery afterwards, his exile would be over .

“Elder has misunderstood my meaning . I don’t want you to help me cheat, but after we arrive at the rubble wasteland, can you help me kill a third rank Magical Beast?” asked Long Chen .

“Oh, that’s no problem at all,” promised that Elder .

“This journey is very far . It will probably take a whole day . You should first rest during this time,” he reminded Long Chen .

Long Chen nodded . He really was tired from having refined pills for three days straight .

If he were to enter that kind of dangerous wasteland in that kind of state, that would definitely not be a good thing . He needed to recover first .

His huge divine ring appeared behind him, beginning to absorb energy . At this point, his divine ring was no longer any secret, so he didn’t need to have any misgivings about that .

But that Hawk Eagle was given a fright once Long Chen summoned his divine ring . It only calmed down once the Elder consoled it .

It went without saying that the divine ring’s power was amazing . In just six hours, Long Chen’s spiritual qi was completely recovered .

When he once more opened his eyes, he saw the scenery around him had completely changed . The ground had leveled out, and occasionally he could see some wild beasts roaming around .

He also saw quite a few vicious Magical Beasts from the air . A huge, fierce tiger with brightly colored fur, a serpent that was even thicker than a water jar, all kinds of Magical Beasts appeared .

Some Magical Beasts let out an angry roar when they saw the Hawk Eagle fly above them . Obviously that was a warning .

Long Chen let out a startled cry at how terrifying these Magical Beasts were . It was no wonder that not one exile had managed to walk back to the monastery from here .

Who knew just how many years these Magical Beasts had lived for . Their auras were many times stronger than Little Snow’s .

That was because Little Snow had only just reached the third rank . He couldn’t even count as having reached the early stage, but he still possessed such terrifying power .

As for these Magical Beasts, that had controlled their domains for many, many years . They had long since reached the mid stage, or some even the late stage . Their power was incomparable .

Let alone Long Chen who was only in the Blood Condensation realm, even a middle Muscle Rebirth expert wouldn’t necessarily be able to walk out alive .

Furthermore, it was reported that those core disciples that had previously been exiled here had all been in the Muscle Rebirth realm . But even so, every single one of them had died here .

But Long Chen had chosen exile because he had no other choice . These countless third rank Magical Beasts would allow him to gather Magical Beast essence blood . It was an excellent place for him to make Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood .

In the past three days, he had not only refined the Muscle Nourishing Pills, but also the medicinal powders required for the Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood . Everything was arranged for him . All he needed was Magical Beast essence blood and he’d be able to make it, allowing him to quickly increase his cultivation base .

That was the reason he had chosen exile . This was the only way for him to quickly increase his cultivation base . Otherwise he would forever be unable to catch up .

At dawn the next day, they arrived at a huge wasteland . Huge rugged stone mountains littered this land . A gloomy sinister scent filled this place .

They had arrived at the rubble wasteland, the graveyard of the exiled .

[1] The Hawkeagle actually appeared in Chapter 16 . Chu Yao had been riding it when she had first captured Long Chen to punish him for bullying her brother . It’s the exact same spelling in Chinese, but previously it was specifically stated that the Hawkeagle was not a Magical Beast . So this is probably just an oversight in names . I’ve changed it to Hawk Eagle to differentiate it .
