The voice was not loud, but it was not angry and intimidating, making people dare not disobey. Even though Long Chen was used to seeing strong people, he still felt frightened.
A person is like his voice. Just by listening to that voice, Long Chen could feel the arrogance and stubbornness in his bones, which made Long Chen's heart suddenly feel cold.
He is similar to Long Chen in some aspects. He will never change the things he decides, and he never regrets the things he has done.
In this case, I'm afraid it's going to be a fight. Long Chen came to Luo's house to find out about his mother, but just by hearing that voice, Long Chen felt that it might be difficult to get what he wanted today.
Luo Changwu and all the Luo family members' expressions changed when they heard about the sword-sharpening ladder, but no one dared to speak.
"Master Patriarch, Long Chen has just entered the Four Extremes Realm, right..." Luo Changwu couldn't help but say.
However, there was silence in the world, and no one responded to him. Obviously, there was no room for negotiation in the matter decided by the patriarch.
After waiting for a while, there was still no reply. Luo Changwu sighed and said to Long Chen with some embarrassment:
"Long Chen, maybe you shouldn't come this time. Why don't you go back first and come back after you enter the Divine Lord Realm."
"What? Is this knife-sharpening ladder a mere oil pan on the mountain of swords?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"What you don't know is that the sword-sharpening ladder is the trial ladder of our Luo clan. It has ninety-nine steps. It is one of the ancient divine objects passed down by our Luo clan.
Before the forty-ninth level, it is prepared for disciples of the Four Extremes Realm, and above the forty-ninth level, it is the trial ladder for the powerful ones in the Divine Lord Realm.
My talent is limited and I can only climb the seventy-nine steps, and then I can never go up again.
In the modern history of the Luo people, only the patriarch has climbed the ninety-nine steps of the sword-sharpening ladder, and he climbed it at the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm. For you, a person who has just entered the Four Extremes Realm, to climb the sword-sharpening ladder, it is indeed
...It's a bit difficult for others to do." Luo Changwu said helplessly.
After all, it took several generations of the Luo family to produce such a terrifying figure. Now that he uses his own standards, no, it should be higher standards to demand Long Chen, it is really difficult for others.
But Luo Zichuan is the absolute authority of the Luo family. He never accepts anyone's questioning of his words. Even Luo Changwu, his own son, does not dare to disobey him.
But Long Chen is the benefactor of the Luo family and is extremely important to the Luo family. Treating Long Chen like this makes him a little unacceptable. He doesn't understand what his father thinks.
"Since the patriarch is so kind, if I don't dare to go, doesn't it mean I'm afraid?
Since the patriarch can walk over, although I don’t dare to compare with the patriarch, I still have the courage to give it a try." Long Chen said with a slight smile.
He knew that this should be his grandfather's test. Long Chen was also filled with anger. This old guy was so strong.
I have brought such great benefits to your Luo family. Even if your Luo family is arrogant and you don’t need to fawn over me, you still don’t have the right to show off to me, right?
If it weren't for my mother, why wouldn't I be so arrogant like you? Want to test me? Then come on.
Long Chen was also born with pride. Luo Zichuan used his own way to test Long Chen. How could Long Chen back down?
Moreover, it seemed to Long Chen that Luo Zichuan was too proud. Even though he was kind to the Luo family, if he wanted to talk to him, he had to have that qualification, which was to have stepped on the knife-sharpening ladder.
There are such unreasonable people in this world, which makes Long Chen angry. He wants to use his strength to prove that you are awesome and I am not bad either.
Luo Changwu could tell that although Long Chen had a smile on his face, he clearly felt that Long Chen was a little angry.
This is also what he is most afraid of, because the Luo family's knife-sharpening ladder cannot be entered forcefully. If you cannot retreat despite the difficulties, you will die on it.
The Luo family didn't know how many proud and arrogant geniuses died on the sword-sharpening ladder. What he was most afraid of was that Long Chen would become stubborn and do something he knew he couldn't do, which would cost him his life.
Wouldn’t it mean to be laughed at by everyone in the world?
He didn't understand why his father did this, but Luo Zichuan never explained what he was doing, so the Luo clan could only follow orders.
He saw Long Chen's anger and couldn't help but feel deeply helpless. If he tried to persuade Long Chen at this time, it would make Long Chen feel that he looked down on Long Chen, which would make Long Chen want to show off himself even more. After all, he was young.
I know how it feels to be looked down upon.
"In that case, let's go. I hope you can stay calm. If you can't, don't attack forcefully. It will be very dangerous." Luo Changwu patted Long Chen's shoulder and said, he could only express his meaning tactfully.
.
"Junior understands that my life is precious. I cherish my life more than others and will not do anything wrong." Long Chen said with a smile, this uncle is quite good, not like the domineering and unpleasant grandfather.
Hearing what Long Chen said, Luo Changwu felt a little relieved. It would be great if Long Chen could retreat despite the difficulties.
Bai Xiaole and others were received by the Luo tribe, while Long Chen followed Luo Changwu through the stone forest and walked all the way to the rear.
Along the way, Luo Changwu looked solemn and said nothing. Long Chen smiled and said: "Senior, there is no need to worry."
Luo Changwu shook his head and said: "You don't know something. No one knows what the patriarch is thinking.
Even if I am his son, my eldest brother and I will never know his thoughts.
Growing up, we were only responsible for completing the things he told us, and only my little sister..."
At this point, Luo Changwu suddenly stopped talking, with a sad look in his eyes.
Long Chen's heart was beating wildly. He knew that the little sister Luo Changwu was talking about was his mother. He wanted to tell Luo Changwu that she was his nephew.
But Long Chen couldn't. At least it wasn't time for the showdown yet. He wanted to find out about his mother's whereabouts through the Luo Clan and reunite with his parents first.
As for the grievances between his mother and the Luo tribe, it cannot be solved by force, nor can he solve it. The leader of the Luo tribe is too strong and makes people breathless.
Obviously Luo Changwu is also full of awe of him. Although he may not agree with some of his father's actions, he is powerless to change anything.
The Luo family lives in a stone mountain, with standing stones like a forest, and caves in the rocks for the Luo people to practice.
Along the way, Long Chen discovered that the Luo clan was larger than he thought, but there were not many people in such a big family.
Long Chen knew that because of the Chu family's imminent move, most of the Luo family's power was concentrated on another battlefield.
After walking for less than half an hour, the stone forest ahead was getting higher and higher, and Long Chen saw a stone peak rising into the sky from a distance.
Looking from a distance, I can only see clouds floating on its mountainside. Its majesty and thickness give people a great sense of oppression. Just one look at it makes people's soul sting and they dare not approach it.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a huge stone staircase. Each stone staircase is several feet high. The ladder feels like it is prepared for giants.
"This is the sword-sharpening ladder. The clan leader is on it. You have to be careful. Sometimes, the real hero is the one who retreats when faced with difficulties." After Luo Changwu finished speaking, he patted Long Chen's shoulder and turned to leave.
.
Long Chen stood under the stone staircase, watching the stone staircase go up and disappear into the clouds. Long Chen seemed to see a pair of eyes looking down at him.
Long Chen took a deep breath and walked towards the stone staircase.
