Chapter 233 - Madness in the Heart

That was why he had spoken little throughout the journey.

After they sat down, they started to discuss the ancient ruins. The ones who hated Long Chen occasionally glanced at him. One of them was Beitang Mo.

The hatred he felt was even more intense than Dongfang Tianchen’s. Long Chen had made him lose face and caused him to lose Yang Lingqing. It was like he had stolen something right out of the palm of his hand. Beitang Mo had never experienced bullying and humiliation of this level in his life!

Beitang Mo and the others shot Long Chen venomous glares, but the subject of their hatred felt nothing. He continued chatting away with Mo Xiaolang, and they slowly grew much more familiar with each other. “I think they hate you to bone,” remarked Mo Xiaolang.

“How am I to blame if I’m just too handsome? Is that why I stole away the people they liked?” Long Chen said shamelessly.

That was when they suddenly heard an argument nearby. Long Chen frowned and saw that the youths sitting at the two tables next to him had erupted in a fight after they had too much to drink. They were even starting to get physical inside the restaurant. Chaos erupted instantly with bowls and plates flying everywhere, some even flying in Long Chen’s direction.

It was an unlucky incident for them, and Long Chen didn’t want to intervene, intending to leave immediately. Unexpectedly, Beitang Mo had also seen the fight break out downstairs and cocked an eyebrow. Then he threw the wine jug down at the source of the noise!

Boom!

There was a loud crash, and the jug shattered at the center of the crowd. Due to the strength of the throw, the broken pieces of the jug and good wine flew in all directions. A few people were hurt by this and screamed. “Shut up! This place is under the jurisdiction of the Lingwu family, everyone get the fuck out!” Beitang Mo glared daggers at everyone, scaring the fighting folk into cowards who dared not make a sound. The entire county belonged to the Lingwu family, so who would dare anger them?

Long Chen knew that Beitang Mo was flexing his authority in an attempt to intimidate him. Under Beitang Mo’s deliberate control, some of the flying fragments had flown in Long Chen’s direction. If he hadn’t defended himself, he could have been injured by the fast-flying shards!

Beitang Mo was chuckling coldly to himself. He had done this extremely subtly, and if other people started questioning him, he could definitely say it wasn’t on purpose.

However, he had forgotten how emboldened Long Chen had been in recent times.

“Think you can use such lowly tactics on me?” Long Chen smirked. He did not let this matter slide. Under everyone’s watch, he gripped the wooden table next to him, which was covered with plates of food, and flexed his muscles. The large, heavy table immediately flew upwards, crashing directly in Beitang Mo’s direction!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Countless plates, bowls, and food fell on the ground. Bits of food were sent flying towards Beitang Mo and his group.

The moment food left its plate, it could be considered garbage. Therefore, a whole pile of garbage landed on their heads, and despite their talent, they ended up looking pathetic. This was especially so for a person like Dongfang Tianxuan, who screamed even though only a little sauce had landed on her clothes.

The aristocratic gentlemen and ladies scattered like a chaotic nest of ants. After dodging the garbage with great difficulty, they glared at Long Chen angrily. With Beitang Mo at the lead, a few of them were already rushing downstairs. “Long Chen, what the hell are you doing? Are you looking for death?” Beitang Mo seemed to be the angriest of them all, but in reality, the stone-faced Dongfang Tianchen was burning with killing intent inside. There was a piece of bok choy stuck to his neck, but unfortunately, he didn’t notice it.

“Who’s looking for death?” Long Chen gestured nonchalantly, then he looked at Beitang Mo. “Are you trying to play your childish games with me? That jug you threw just now—that was undoubtedly directed at me. You served me wine, so I served you some dishes. Isn’t that how it’s meant to be? And what’s up with your face? It’s so red! Is it a monkey’s butt?” Long Chen let out a guffaw with no reservations.

“Long Chen, don’t you dare overstep the boundaries now. Do you really think we wouldn’t dare to touch you?” Dongfang Tianxuan glared at him angrily.

“If you want to touch my big brother, you’ll have to go through me first!” Mo Xiaolang spoke for the first time, now standing by Long Chen’s side. Although he looked calm, he would not hold back if he fought.

Even though Beitang Mo had the Black Tortoise Axe, he wasn’t confident that he could defeat Mo Xiaolang. The rest were not either. They knew that Mo Xiaolang and Long Chen shared some history, and Long Chen even rescued him from the Star Devil Prison. It made sense that Mo Xiaolang was so close to him.

Does this mean that we truly can’t kill this bastard? Dongfang Tianxuan despaired. She had never expected that these two brothers could step on their heads when they were some of the most powerful people in Yuanling County!

“Tianxuan, I intend to act now ...” Dongfang Tianchen took one step forward and stood with Beitang Mo. Long Chen’s reckless words and stupid smirk had made him lose his patience. He wanted to teach him a lesson right now.

“Big Brother, you must wait.” Dongfang Tianxuan was worried.

“Long Chen is only at the initial Heavenly Core Realm and he barely managed to defeat you. If it wasn’t for his master, or Mo Xiaolang, could he have survived until today? He’s just a brat relying on other people’s reputation to live. How can we live with pride if we’re getting stepped on by lowly scum like this? If we don’t do anything, what will happen to the pride of the Lingwu family?”

Towards the end, Dongfang Tianchen was almost shouting.

All the rage in his chest had been unleashed with his rally cry. Everyone realized that the quietest one, Dongfang Tianchen, was actually the one who hated him most!

The last question gave a ton of motivation to every Lingwu teenager.

Even Nangong Huang and Ximen Xiaodie locked eyes, then they stood at the very front, preparing to attack.

There were five mid-Heavenly Core Realm cultivators and three initial Heavenly Core Realm cultivators. Wasn’t that enough to defeat Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang?

“My brothers and sisters! Tianchen is right. We are the proud Lingwu family, also the leaders of Yuanling County. We must not let two dogs climb on top of our heads and act so arrogantly!” Beitang Mo also became emotional when he saw how passionate Dongfang Tianchen was.

Long Chen was speechless watching their silly, youthful rage. He was truly only afraid of the people above the late Heavenly Core Realm, not them.

“Big Brother, shall we?” asked Mo Xiaolang, stepping next to him.

“If the enemy moves, we will beat them up. If they don’t move, we won’t move. There’s a long journey ahead; there will be many more opportunities to beat them up if we are patient,” said Long Chen.

With such a large conflict taking place, everyone in the restaurant had retreated to the walls. Especially the people who had first started fighting—they were now trembling with fear.

The more knowledgeable bystanders guessed the identities of both sides. Dongfang Tianchen and his group were famous in Yuanling City, but Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang weren’t as famous. However, after today, their names would spread!

Who would dare challenge the prodigies of the Lingwu family when there were only two people on their side?

“Which faction are these two teenagers from? Based on their boldness, they must be quite strong!”

“Who knows? We’ll see. They might just be two stupid youths. They’re obviously not from the Dawn Trading Alliance or the Beast Soul Palace, so they might be from one of those small clans no one cares about.”

Similar conversations could be heard all around.

Long Chen was fully prepared. If the group could no longer hold themselves back, he didn’t mind having a warm up here before the fight at the ancient ruins.

The furious Lingwu youths looked at each other, about to make a move, when a shrill shout came from the door. “Stop it!”

Everyone turned to look. It was that woman, Dongfang Xuanyu.

She entered the restaurant icily, staring at both parties. She hated Long Chen, so she naturally stood next to the Lingwu youths.

When the woman arrived, Long Chen knew that the fight would not happen today.

“What’s going on?” she asked.

“Aunt Xuanyu, Long Chen insulted us! What he said was over the line, so ...” Dongfang Tianxuan, who had always held a lofty position, found Long Chen’s words hard to swallow. When she thought of Dongfang Tianchen’s internal suffering, she couldn’t wait to slap Long Chen hard. After all, she had always looked up to her eldest brother.

“Insult?” Dongfang Xuanyu was furious, her heart aching as she looked at the youths. To be honest, she really wanted to attack Long Chen herself. However, she was the only senior here, so she had to have some sense. She couldn’t ruin her father’s plans, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to stop the fight.

But that didn’t mean she would let him go easily!

She woke from her thoughts and glared coldly at Long Chen. “You dirtbag, you’re getting more and more arrogant. Don’t you know that there should be limits to your arrogance? With that attitude, you’re going to die a tragic death!”

“And what’s that got to do with you, Miss Dongfang?” Long Chen was too lazy to argue with her. Under everyone’s furious gazes, he told Mo Xiaolang, “Let’s go.” Then they left without looking back.

“Long Chen! You!” Dongfang Xuanyu raged when she was ignored. She turned to see that the Lingwu youths were almost vomiting blood from rage and privately made a decision. “You must die even if I die as well!”
