Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 128: The Bell Tolls!

"Long Chen?"

Su Miaoyu also noticed Long Chen, and her brows furrowed immediately. She had held a grudge ever since being humiliated on the Life and Death Platform and was looking for an opportunity to teach Long Chen a lesson. Unfortunately, she had learned Long Chen was away on an assessment mission, so her plans were put on hold. She never expected to run into him here today.

"You actually survived out there? And here you are, back alive?" she said sarcastically.

"Don’t worry. As long as you’re not dead, how could I bear to die so soon?" Long Chen replied indifferently. "Even if I did die, I would drag you down with me."

Seeing Long Chen’s arrogant attitude, a man by Su Miaoyu’s side immediately berated him.

"How dare you!"

"Do you know who you’re talking to?"

"Senior Sister Su is now the direct disciple of the Grand Elder of the Earth Court. When you see her, you should know your place as an inferior disciple!"

Another disciple of the Earth Court said contemptuously, "Exactly! Why don’t you take a look at your own pathetic self?"

"Last time, you only got lucky and survived because you were relying on pills. What right do you have to be so arrogant?"

Ignoring their mockery, Long Chen just smiled. "Su Miaoyu, even if you are the direct disciple of the Grand Elder of the Earth Court, don’t forget that you still owe us Superior Spirit Stones."

"Here’s a piece of advice: if you have so much free time, you’d better spend it earning those Superior Spirit Stones to pay off the rest of your debt as soon as possible." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Otherwise, once the deadline passes, you’ll be paying interest!"

"You..." When Long Chen brought this up, Su Miaoyu’s face turned incredibly ugly, her fingernails digging into her palms in anger.

Still, she suppressed the rage in her heart and refused to show it in front of him.

She spoke coldly, "Don’t get too arrogant. Not only have I become the direct disciple of the Grand Elder of the Earth Court, but my cultivation has also improved immensely. A mere few million Superior Spirit Stones are nothing to me."

"On the contrary, it’s you who should be careful."

"After all, you have to call me Senior Sister when you see me now. What leverage do you possibly have over me?"

Hearing this, Long Chen remained calm and simply responded, "You should be careful too. If you ever fall into my hands, no one will be able to save you."

"You alone?" Su Miaoyu looked disdainful. "Fine, I’ll be waiting. We’ll see who ends up killing whom."

"We shall see," Long Chen uttered indifferently as he walked past her.

"Long Chen, just you wait!"

"It won’t be long before your day of death arrives!" Su Miaoyu gritted her teeth, her expression frighteningly dark.

After returning to the Human Institute, Tang Le went directly to the Deacon House with Long Chen.

Seeing them return, Chen Yao greeted them with a smile. "You two really didn’t disappoint me. The mission must have gone smoothly, right?"

In contrast to Chen Yao’s happiness, Tuoba Jiao was greatly disappointed. Why didn’t that damned Long Chen die out there? That way, no one else would ever know about the humiliation of having to wash his feet and give him a massage.

"By the way, why did only the two of you return?" Chen Yao asked curiously. "Where are the other disciples?"

"Steward Chen, don’t even get me started on this mission," Tang Le said. "It was anything but smooth. We nearly all died on the road."

Hearing this, Chen Yao and Tuoba Jiao looked at each other and asked, "What happened?"

Tang Le then recounted everything that had happened during the assessment to them.

After learning the whole story, Chen Yao’s expression turned grim. "Those people from the Sword Ancestor are truly sinister. They knew who posed the greatest threat to them, so they took this opportunity to try and wipe them out, root and stem."

"Now that some of you have returned safely, the Four Institutes will surely not let this matter rest."

The words had barely left her mouth when...

DONG—

A resounding bell suddenly rang out.

"The bell has been rung!" Tuoba Jiao’s expression changed. That bell only rang when something of major importance happened in the Sect. It seemed the higher-ups of the various institutes had already made their decision. Were they about to declare war on the Sword Ancestor?
