Not to mention the others, even Ling Chen was taken by surprise by Long Bai"s sudden declaration. He didn"t see that coming at all.Earlier, he had this gut feeling that something was wrong or something bad was going to happen. However, he wasn"t able to put his finger around it.
Many speculations ran wild in his minds. However, the thought about his cover being blown never came to his mind.
Ling Chen was very confident in his illusion or transformation. His illusions Art had reached a level at which even a peak Martial Saint realm expert wouldn"t be able to tell his illusions apart from reality.
Even if that Martial Saint was practicing a magical eye Battle Technique, it would still be pretty hard to see through his illusions and disguise.
Unless one was a Demi-G.o.d rank expert or had a spiritual power that was far stronger than his, they could never see through his transformation or illusion.
Yet, that old geezer Long Bai who was neither a Demi-G.o.d rank expert nor had a spiritual power that far surpa.s.sed him was able to somehow see through his disguise.
How could he not be surprised!
Even though Ling Chen was a little shocked and surprised that Long Bai somehow knew his true ident.i.ty and even had the guts to announce it in front of a bunch of people, he didn"t look scared or afraid at all.
Ling Chen remained seated in his seat as a faint smile appeared on his face. His expression was like the still water in an ancient well. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Meanwhile, the entire main hall was still swathed in a death-like silence. Only heavy breathing could be heard.
At the same time, all the guests had their gazes gathered on Ling Chen.
They were all inevitably shocked to hear that the nameless and harmless Venerable Monk was in fact the notorious and Heaven-defying little devil from the Heaven Desolate Region.
While most people in the Heaven Suppression Region didn"t know anything about Ling Chen as they didn"t care about anything that was happening in a backward place such as the Heaven Desolate Region, it wasn"t the case for the people in the main hall.
They were all people who wielded great powers in the Heaven Suppression Region, as such they were privy to a few secrets.
They knew about the Tomb Of The Great Luo Martial G.o.d as well as the Nine Keys needed to open it. They also knew that the last key was lost somewhere in the Heaven Desolate Region as well as the Ten Demi-G.o.ds" search of it.
Because of all this, they"ve been paying attention to the Heaven Desolate Region. It was also how they heard about the legend of Ling Chen also known as the little devil and his devouring ability.
By the time some of them wanted to make a move on him in order to dig out his secrets, he suddenly was vanished. However, they didn"t expect that he was right here in front of them at this moment.
"How did you know about my true ident.i.ty?" Ling Chen suddenly asked as he was looking at Long Bai with his cold and emotionless pupils.
Meanwhile, Long Bai was staring at him with a smug and scheming smile on his face. One could tell that he was doing all this in purpose and had some ulterior motives for doing so.
Swoos.h.!.+
Having said that, Ling Chen suddenly changed back into his true appearance. At this moment, he didn"t look like the old amiable bald monk anymore.
He was now a fifteen or sixteen years old young man clad in a white robe that was even whiter than snow. His jet black hair hung loosely on his shoulders like black ink.
His eyes were like two perfect pieces of gemstones. It was unknown if his eyes were black or blue as his right pupil was completely covered with red magic rune while the left one was cover with a blue magic rune or circle.
Each of his eyes gave off a different vibe. His left eye that contained the blue magic rune exuded a divine feeling while the right one felt rather demonic and evil.
He was handsome to the point of being a bit demonic. Many ladies would feel ashamed when looking at him. His body was as toned as any man could wish his to be.
He didn"t possess a shocking imposing aura. Aside from his pair of eyes and his beautiful facial features, he looked extremely ordinary with no shocking power. He didn"t look like a powerful warrior at all.
However, everyone knew that this was just a facade.
After knowing that is cover was blown, Ling Chen didn"t even bother to hide his ident.i.ty anymore.
He was as cautious and prudent as he could be while living in Blue Dragon City. However, he never imagined that not only his cover was blown, he even fell in the foul trap of Long Bai.
He was also certain that Long Bai didn"t lure him here in his birthday party where all the apex existences of the Sun Demi-G.o.d have gathered just to expose his ident.i.ty, there must be something more to it.
Furthermore, he was also sure that Long Bai didn"t have the power to see through his transformation or disguise. Which means that someone must have told him about his true ident.i.ty.
So far, there"s only one person who knew about his true ident.i.ty and that person was the Sun Demi-G.o.d. However, he doubted that the Sun Demi-G.o.d would divulge that kinda information to someone like Long Bai.
In fact, the Sun Demi-G.o.d was trying to keep Ling Chen"s true ident.i.ty a secret from the other Demi-G.o.ds as he wanted to make a deal him and even volunteered to tell him everything he needed to know about why he was referred to as the Fateless Monster.
Ling Chen also had the feeling that Long Bai knew that he was in the possession of the last key of the Great Luo Martial G.o.d"s Tomb which only the Demi-G.o.ds were aware of.
If he were to reveal that information in the main hall, this would mean that he, Ling Chen, would be thrown into an indescribable situation!
The legacy or the inheritance of the Great Luo Martial G.o.d was something that every sentient being in the Great Luo Martial World wished to obtain.
It was especially so for the old monsters in the Martial Saint realm as well as the Demi-G.o.d rank. The appeal of the Great Luo Martial G.o.d Tomb and treasures or inheritance within could be said to have overridden all their other desires.
Ever since the Great Luo Martial G.o.d disappearance, there"s never been Martial G.o.d in the Great Luo Martial World.
Many people believed that the key to breaking through the legendary Martial G.o.d was located within the Great Luo Martial G.o.d. That was also why many people wished to enter the Tomb he left behind.
If the information about him possessing the last key of the Great Luo Martial G.o.d was to make public, it would cause a stir in the entire Land of Heaven Suppression Region.
It would be known to all the powerful Martial Saints in the Heaven Suppression Region as well as demon beasts in the Divine Demon Beast Region.
The price of this would be that he would become a fugitive as he would be chased by every small and big influence in the Heaven Suppression Region. And it would be far more dangerous for him compared to when he was in the Heaven Desolate Region.
Even if they weren"t sure that he had the key, just that fact that there was a possibility would enough to drive them mad.
Meanwhile, the majority of the crowd eventually regained their composure after seeing Ling Chen"s true appearance.
At the same time, the people who had been silent in the main hall found themselves unable to remain silent any longer.
"So, this is Ling Chen, the little devil of the Heaven Desolate Region." Murmured one of the guests as she was bewitched by Ling Chen"s look.
No matter men or women, all of their hearts birthed a feeling of being ashamed of their inferiority when they saw him.
"He looks so young." Whispered another guest.
Even Long Zhentian"s quiet demeanor had suddenly changed when he saw the true appearance of Ling Chen.
He didn"t know as much as Long Bai, but as the successor, he had still heard of a few things about Ling Chen.
Upon hearing Ling Chen"s answer, Long Bai"s mouth curved upward into an evil smile as he slowly uttered." A magician never reveals his secrets."
He then took a quick glance at the guests before he s.h.i.+fted his cold gaze toward Ling Chen. With a malicious smile on his face, he said." I heard that little brother Ling Chen had the last key of the Great Luo Martial Tomb with him. As today is this old man"s birthday.................."
Boom!
However, Long Bai could even finish his sentence, In just a split second, numerous powerful and terrible aura erupted forth and spread throughout the main hall like a tidal wave.
The entire main hall trembled as cracks began to appear on the ground under the combined torrential pressure released by the powerful experts with the main hall.
At the same time, the entire main hall was filled with a murderous breath as everyone was looking at Ling Chen with their bloodthirsty eyes that were glowing brightly with greed.
