Chapter 5291 Liao Yong

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, hello!”

As Long Chen walked out of the barrier, a disciple of Tianyu City immediately greeted him, looking at him with both curiosity and reverence. The image of Long Chen riding a three-vein Emperor Gold Lion was seared into many people’s memories, a scene they would never forget.

“Hello!”

Long Chen smiled and waved at those disciples. These disciples lacked the haughtiness that many talented disciples possessed. Perhaps only those who frequently danced on the edge of life and death could truly appreciate how precious life was.

It was a refreshing change for Long Chen. Previously, everywhere he went, there would be a group of arrogant individuals eager to provoke him. But here, no one dared to court death because it meant they would truly die.

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, do you really come from beyond the Desolation?”

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, is the world outside the Desolation very big? Is it bigger than this place?”

“Are there even stronger demonic beasts than the Gold Lions there? More ferocious than the Stone Spirit race? More twisted than the devil creatures?”

Once Long Chen responded, it was as if the floodgates had opened. Seeing his friendly demeanor, more and more Tianyu City disciples gathered around him. The female disciples, in particular, seemed especially curious. Suddenly, Long Chen found himself surrounded and bombarded with questions. He had no idea how to answer them all.

In truth, their curiosity was understandable. In their world, only the Gold Lion race, the Stone Spirit race, and endless devil creatures existed. They had never ventured beyond this small realm. Everything they knew about the outside world came from ancient texts and stories. Now that someone from beyond the Endless Desolation had appeared, they were eager to learn about the world beyond.

Other than that, Long Chen looked to be near their age and didn’t act cold with them. His handsome features also piqued the female disciples’ curiosity, and a few bold ones even tried to touch his hand to see if people from the outside world had the same kind of flesh and blood as them.

Long Chen hastily but politely declined their overly forward actions, reassuring them that he would be staying for a few days. There was no need to rush—there would be plenty of time to ask their questions.

Soon, the area in front of the plaza became crowded, with people drawn in by the tales of the outside world. To prevent being overwhelmed, Long Chen chose a few common questions and gave simple answers so that they wouldn’t keep asking more about it.

Even so, these disciples’ eyes were shining as they listened to him. They all wanted to see the outside world.

Hearing about the vast world filled with different races and landscapes, they were filled with envy. To them, Long Chen’s experiences were like stories from a legend.

“Enough with the stories. How do you know any of this is true? You’re just going to believe whatever he says? He could be lying, and you'd have no way to verify it!” A sharp voice interrupted the excitement.

Long Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with a sword on his back leaning against the wall, glaring at him coldly.

“Liao Yong, what are you saying? Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen has no reason to lie to us. Your words are simply hurtful!” shouted a woman indignantly.

The man was Liao Yong, an expert ranked among the top ten of Tianyu City’s junior generation. Known for his pride and difficult nature, most people didn’t bother arguing with him. However, Long Chen had made a positive impression on everyone, and his stories about the outside world captivated them. Thus, they spoke against him.

For Liao Yong to call him into question was far too rude. He was practically calling Long Chen a liar.

“What’s hurtful about it? It’s just the truth. None of us have seen the world outside the Desolation. He can make up whatever he wants. How would we verify the truth?” said Liao Yong disdainfully.

“You...!”

“Furthermore, who knows whether or not he harbors malicious intentions in coming to Tianyu City? He was riding a Gold Lion! With his cultivation base, how could he have beaten a three-vein Emperor? The most likely explanation is that he’s in collusion with the Gold Lion race. There are too many suspicious things about him. I’m just warning everyone to be cautious,” Liao Yong sneered.

Long Chen met Liao Yong’s glare with a smile but didn’t say anything.

Liao Yong found Long Chen’s silent smile unnerving and demanded, “What are you smiling at? Feeling guilty? Then tell us, how did that Gold Lion agree to let you ride it?”

“Because I’m handsome, so it wanted to be my mount. Tell me, what could I possibly do about that?” Long Chen shrugged helplessly.

“What nonsense!” Liao Yong snorted, refusing to believe that lie.

“Then what if I told you that I’m so strong that it directly pissed itself and surrendered to me to save its own life?” remarked Long Chen.

“Even more nonsense!”

“If everything is nonsense, how do you think I got it to carry me over?” Long Chen countered.

“I don’t care how you did it. I’m just telling you that Tianyu City does not welcome people with unclear origins!” declared Liao Yong coldly.

“Liao Yong, you’re going too far! The patriarch personally welcomed senior apprentice-brother Long Chen as an important guest! What right do you have to question him?” a female disciple shouted indignantly.

“Hmph, what right do I have? I simply don’t like him. I dislike people who might be spies or have ulterior motives. What about it? And who’s to say the patriarch hasn’t been deceived? Kid, I don’t accept you! If you want me to, then face me in combat. If I lose, I’ll shut up. But if you lose, then leave Tianyu City immediately!”

“What a ridiculous challenge! You’re already a Heaven Saint, while senior apprentice-brother Long Chen is only a Sage King! You’re clearly bullying him!” shouted someone.

“Isn’t he supposed to be very strong? He even subdued a three-vein Emperor Gold Lion! If he doesn’t dare fight me, then everything he said must be lies!” Liao Yong sneered.

Liao Yong was trying to mess around with this rude challenge. However, the crowds couldn’t find any fault in his logic. If Long Chen really did have the power to subdue a three-vein Emperor Gold Lion, Liao Yong truly wasn’t a match for him. They also wanted to know how strong Long Chen was.

Under their expectant gazes, Long Chen slowly stood up. The tension rose as everyone watched, holding their breath in anticipation.
