However, Ji Xuan was completely unaware of this and continued speaking, "But now, there is a great opportunity to change your fate in front of you.
Once you join us, not only will you be able to seek asylum and not fear the Feng family in the capital.
"There is even more hope to acquire high-level human skills."
"Even if you manage to please that big shot, it won't be impossible to obtain earth-level skills like those individuals possess. By then, it won't be difficult to advance to the Spiritual Essence Realm or even the Dharma Realm."
Upon hearing this, Long Chen lost interest.
If this body's predecessor had been given such an opportunity before he transmigrated, he might have indeed agreed to it.
But now, he had already mastered two high-level earth-level skills, and one of them was even of an unknown level. As long as he had luck points, he could purchase any kind or level of skill or technique.
This situation is as ridiculous as a beggar telling a millionaire that if he joins them and works hard in the future, he can earn hundreds of dollars by begging.
At the same time, Long Nian, who was standing behind Long Chen, looked odd after hearing the city lord's promise.
If he didn't have strong self-control, he might have laughed out loud.
The clan leader had already taught him two high-level earth-level skills. How could he still see high-level human skills as treasures?
In contrast to the two, even low-level earth skills had become as insignificant as a piece of food.
Initially, I thought that the force wanting to recruit the patriarch would be extremely powerful, but after hearing this, I realized it was nothing much.
As the two of them remained calm, Ji Xuan gradually noticed something unusual.
Long Chen was not the only one who remained indifferent to the temptation of these high-level human and low-level earth skills.
Even this young man from the Long family was surprisingly calm.
Ji Xuan found it difficult to understand.
Do you know, when I first heard these terms, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for three days!
Seeing Ji Xuan's doubts, Long Chen also realized he had been too calm and immediately changed the subject, "So who is the force behind you?"
Upon hearing the other party mention this matter, Ji Xuan immediately put all doubts behind him, and then said very proudly, "This is no big secret.
The person I am loyal to is the Tiandu Palace in the capital.
The Palace Master! He is a powerful being in the Dharma Realm, expected to aspire to the Heavenly Realm, and has been consecrated by the First Prince of the imperial court! As long as you join his leadership, you will be able to obtain unimaginable resources!"
"Of course, all you need to do is show a little loyalty.
The first step is to step down from your position as clan leader and allow the people sent by the Palace Master to take care of your Long family.
After that, you will no longer be hindered by these trivial matters.
You can focus on your cultivation, go to Tiandu Palace, follow the arrangements of the Palace Master, and work with him personally..."
Along with Ji Xuan's narration, Long Chen also gradually understood what this force was all about.
Except for the fact that no actual sale contract was signed between the parties, the other unequal treaties treated these innate monks as slaves, even more like dead warriors.
If someone could break through to the Spirit Expansion Realm or the Spiritual Essence Realm, these treaties would be upgraded, thus gaining more attention from the Tiandu Palace Master and receiving more cultivation resources.
Even those who perform well will be appointed to important positions in major cities within the Tiandu Palace by the Tiandu Palace Master using their power.
For example, Ji Xuan became the governor of Star City because of this.
It is only that for ordinary people, the treatment is very good, but for Long Chen, it is useless.
So, before Ji Xuan could finish his speech, Long Chen interrupted him, "I'm not interested. There's no need to mention this matter again."
Ji Xuan's expression suddenly stiffened, wondering if he had heard wrong, then immediately looked at Long Chen and said, "Is the clan leader Long joking with the city lord?"
He really couldn't imagine that the head of a small family could resist such a temptation.
Long Chen sat quietly in the grand master's chair. Under Ji Xuan's gaze, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "The tea is a bit cold. I think it's getting late. The city lord is busy with his work, so it's better to leave early so that you can return early."
Seeing Long Chen directly issuing an eviction order, Ji Xuan's face suddenly darkened.
I initially thought the other party would join them, so I patiently said a lot.
As a result, he was rejected by the other party with a light word of disinterest.
Thinking of this, Ji Xuan looked gloomy and couldn't help but shout angrily, "How ridiculous! Long Chen, I initially thought you were a smart man, but I didn't expect you to make such a foolish decision.
Do you know what this step will do?
What kind of disaster will it bring to your Long family?"
The angry voice was like thunder, reverberating in the hall, deafening!
After feeling the powerful aura emanating from the city lord, Long Chen couldn't help but look tense.
The overwhelming pressure made his face turn pale and gradually breathless.
But at this moment, a familiar pure breath fell on him, like burning chaos that shines, dispels all the fog, and wipes out the coercive effect brought by Ji Xuan.
It's the patriarch!
Suddenly Long Chen felt relaxed all over, and couldn't help but feel great joy in his eyes!
Amidst the two waves of innate world pressure intertwined with each other.
Long Chen looked at Ji Xuan and said casually, "Does the city lord Ji want to die here?"
"Hmph! Don't think that just because you've broken through to the innate world, you'll be able to fight me. I just don't know how strong your combat power is."
Ji Xuan's face was cold, his tone icy, and there was a hint of killing intent.
The humiliation he suffered today should make Long Chen pay the proper price for his arrogance!
Upon hearing this, Long Chen looked calm and slowly returned the teacup in his hand to the wooden table.
Seeing that the other party was calm and unhurried, as if he didn't consider himself anything, this kind of deep contempt made the anger in Ji Xuan's chest even more intense!
Without any more words, Ji Xuan leaped and came to Long Chen.
The distance between the two sides was less than three meters, his eyes filled with violence. Suddenly he waved his arm and struck!
Long did not move at all and made no evasive moves.
Seeing this, Ji Xuan was particularly surprised, thinking that the other party was afraid of him.
When the fist was only two fingers away from Long Chen's face, a sudden change occurred!
Zheng——
In an instant, an invisible and terrifying sword intent burst out from Long Chen's body!
Under the blessing of the sword, Long Chen's body seemed to transform into an unparalleled sword, and strands of sharp energy swept through, covering the entire meeting hall!
