Chapter 76 Madam Administrator!

Huang Feiyang would never let him leave alive, and Long Chen’s hand had left his ear due to the impact of the blast, so Ling Xi was now free to emerge!

Long Chen screamed with all his might, “Ling Xi, get the fuck back! Or I’ll hate you until my last breath!”

The Ling Xi Sword started to move. She heard his frantic voice but couldn’t process his words.

Long Chen was currently at the brink of death, and this was the only thing on her mind.

“Ling Xi! Listen to me, please!”

Long Chen’s desperate screams did not cause Ling Xi to change her mind!

Huang Feiyang had already arrived in front of Long Chen by now, his eyes bloodshot. Without another word, he launched his next attack!

The Ling Xi sword was just about to leave Long Chen’s ear to defend him!

At the very last second, a woman’s cold voice suddenly rang out, and Huang Feiyang was blasted backwards. He stumbled several steps back and looked at the incoming person with a pale face!

Huang Feiyang’s furious expression suddenly changed when he saw who it was, and he greeted hurriedly, “Greetings, Madam Administrator!”

Wen Ya, who was next to them, also bowed.

Long Chen didn’t know who she was, but he recovered slightly and managed to stand up with great effort. Ling Xi, who was about to attack, saw that Long Chen was saved and finally sighed in relief.

“You’re dead when we get back!”

After scaring Ling Xi with this threat, Long Chen clenched his teeth and dragged himself onto his feet despite the intense pain.

He was barely holding on, but he still looked at the newcomers.

Everyone watched as a group of people approached.

These were no ordinary people. They looked like they were a lot more powerful than Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya, especially the lady in the center. This made Long Chen squint.

The lady was extra eye-catching among the group of young men. She was wearing a red dress, had delicate, feminine features, skin as white as snow, and a beautiful smile. Her curvy and elegant figure attracted all the men’s attention as she walked.

The sudden arrival of such a beautiful lady caused the eight cultivators to gulp, their eyes wide.

Long Chen was already shy around beautiful girls like Ling Xi and Yang Lingqing, but this lady was a completely different type. Every move, every look, and every smile radiated maturity, intellect, and elegance. This was a level of attractiveness that a normal man could not withstand!

Beauty beyond this world. This was the phrase that popped into Long Chen’s mind.

But he was now in extreme pain, and he didn’t care about flirting with her. And she was crazy powerful, so she wasn’t someone he could flirt with at his level.

And so, Long Chen immediately turned into an injured, innocent teenage boy. He bit his lip and glared coldly at Huang Feiyang.

He already had handsome features, but paired with an innocent expression that contained a hint of arrogance, he immediately attracted the beautiful lady’s attention.

Long Chen was only sixteen and had the look of a teenager. There was still blood on the corner of his mouth. When the lady saw this, her brows furrowed. It looked like her heart was aching for him.

She quickly turned to Huang Feiyang, looking at him in half-amusement. “Huang Feiyang, may I ask what it is you were trying to do?”

The lady’s voice was high-pitched and flirtatious, which ignited a fire in Long Chen. But when he remembered that Ling Xi was still living in his ear, he deflated like a balloon and didn’t dare look at her.

She was speaking in a completely nonchalant tone, but this was the tone that Huang Feiyang feared the most. He quickly replied, “Madam Administrator, it happened like this: these two were dueling to decide who would enter the Lingwu family, but this teenager named Long Chen was vicious. He had clearly won the duel already, but he was relentless and attempted to kill his opponent. This behavior is against the rules, so I think he should be disqualified and chased out of this place!”

“Oh?”

The lady regarded Long Chen with her beautiful eyes and gave a small smile, as if this didn’t matter to her. “Huang Feiyang, tell me, when did the Lingwu family ban killing? Have you forgotten already? We encourage killing ...”

When Huang Feiyang heard her reply, his face changed and he was about to argue when the lady suddenly looked at him. He suddenly felt suffocated and his face paled, not speaking another word.

Long Chen was secretly shaken. The lady was twenty-seven or twenty-eight at most, yet she was far more powerful than Huang Feiyang. He was previously shocked by her beauty, but now he admired her strength greatly too.

“Is that person your younger brother?”

Her voice slithered into Huang Feiyang’s ear like a venomous snake, causing drops of cold sweat to sprout from his forehead. He didn’t dare utter a single word, his face turning white and his body trembling.

She had a very seductive smile, just flirtatious enough to intoxicate any man. But to Huang Feiyang, it was a nightmare. “Huang Feiyang, you’re under me, Liu Lan. How dare you misbehave on my watch? Aren’t you afraid of going to the Star Devil Prison?”

Her suppressed, low tone scared Huang Feiyang to his core. When Liu Lan saw him tremble, she straightened her back and giggled happily. She then waved. “That was a joke, I’m just scaring you. Don’t do this again, alright? Scram now ...”

Wen Ya was initially too afraid to breathe, but he sighed in relief when Liu Lan said that. He quickly dragged the stunned Huang Feiyang away and said hurriedly, “Thank you for your mercy, Madam Administrator! We’ll leave now!”

Liu Lan paid them no attention. She turned to a young man next to her and said, “Huang Feiyang is useless. Make the necessary arrangements for these five newcomers and brief them on the things they should know, especially the Lingwu family’s rules. Understood?”

The young man nodded hurriedly. “Yes, Administrator Liu!”

Liu Lan nodded, then her beautiful eyes fell on Long Chen and she smiled. “Take extra care of the kid. I’ll meet him alone tonight ...”

Then she left with the group.

When Long Chen watched her leave, his tightened muscles relaxed. But Huang Feiyang’s hostile glare was something he would never forget. I’ve only just arrived in Yuanling City, yet I’ve made such a huge enemy already. What bad luck. I really need to be careful in the future.

The man who stayed behind eyed all five participants, his gaze lingering a little longer on Long Chen, then he said, “My name is Gan Lin. The Lingwu family is the same as a large sect, and we work under Administrator Liu. You may call me ‘Senior Gan.’ Understood?”

Long Chen and the rest nodded.

When he saw them being so obedient, he was satisfied and said, “Why don’t you guys introduce yourselves?”

The five of them announced their names and families, including Long Chen, who repeated the details he had given during registration.

When Gan Lin heard that Long Chen was from a small town in Yuanling County, he looked surprised and praised, “I was watching your fight from afar just now. You’re so young and from a small town too—I’m impressed you managed to reach such a high cultivation level!”

Being humble was the way to go. Senior Gan was friendly, and Long Chen needed many answers from him, so he decided to do his best to maintain this relationship.

“I had some luck, but most of it is because I’ve cultivated hard since young.”

Long Chen didn’t put himself down, nor did he speak too humbly, so Gan Lin was very satisfied and patted his shoulder with a smile. “Now that you’re in the Lingwu family, you’ll need to work harder in the future. This is the true battlefield, and anyone with true talent and determination will shine. Those who slack off and rely on their family and parents for everything will die tragic deaths. Just like the kid you defeated just now.”

He then turned to the others and said, “Now I will bring you all to Lingwu City. I’ll also give you your identity jade tokens and brief you further. Ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand, and I’ll explain. This is to avoid making mistakes in the future that might cost you your lives.”

Long Chen and the other four nodded. Under Gan Lin’s lead, they walked towards Lingwu City. That was where the Lingwu family’s true base was.

As Long Chen looked at Gan Lin’s tall figure in front, he thought of Xiaolang, Liu Lan, and many other things.

This is where my real trials will take place. Just from Liu Lan and Gan Lin’s words, I can roughly tell how intense the competition within the Lingwu family is. Now I’ve entered the Turquoise Sun Hall, and Administrator Liu is obviously ranked highly here, judging from how terrifyingly powerful she is. And the Turquoise Sun Hall is just a piece of the Turquoise family. Other than the Turquoise family, there’s eight more outer families. And the true Lingwu family has four main inner families ...

Long Chen was momentarily speechless.

When I was in Baiyang Town, I had only heard of the Lingwu family name, but I didn’t know how scary it all was. The Blood Saints really are nothing compared to this, though they are now related to the fate of the Yang family. If I don’t improve quickly, the Yang family will be done for!

Long Chen felt an insurmountable pressure.

They had followed Gan Lin for approximately two hours when he suddenly turned and said, “We’ve arrived at Lingwu City!”
