After Long Yi finished speaking, even the Scorpion Girl glanced at him slightly, with a look of confusion on her face.
She had met some of Lu Yiyi's friends before, but they were all ordinary people, without any trace of cultivation on them.
Then why did Long Yi, who knows magic, suddenly appear beside Lu Yiyi? And seeing how confident he looked, it was obvious that he had something to rely on.
Fan Wuyan looked Long Yi up and down again with some fear, and found that apart from his strong body and bronze skin, there was no trace of a cultivator on him.
"This guy is either an ordinary person pretending to be ignorant, or he has heard some knowledge about magic from hearsay. The most unlikely thing is that Long Yi is an unparalleled master of martial arts who has reached the level of controlling the true energy in his body."
Fan Wuyan calmly concluded Long Yi's strength and became more vigilant.
"You ask who I am?" Long Yi laughed dumbly. He caught a glimpse of Lu Yiyi's pretty face full of surprise and doubt, and couldn't help but smile: "As I said before, I am a friend of this Miss Lu. We grew up together..."
"But... I suddenly remembered." Long Yi suddenly added with a playful look in his eyes: "But the brothers in the Central Plains are still willing to respectfully address me as Master Long!"
"Master Long?" Fan Wuyan and others were obviously stunned.
Although the families of these four people are all in the Central Plains, they belong to the kind of hidden sects that practice Taoism and usually do not care about the interests and disputes of the secular world. Therefore, although the name "Master Long" is well-known in the Central Plains, it is somewhat unfamiliar to them.
What's more, the title of "master" has been used a lot. Any pig-killer in a village dares to call himself a pig-killing master, so the word "master" really has no value.
But since Long Yi could utter these three words without changing his expression under the pressure of everyone, it proved that he still had some reputation.
Not only Fan Wuyan, but even the Scorpion Girl was quickly searching her brain for relevant information about Master Long.
"Huh? I really can't recall anyone named Long in the world of magic, let alone a master." The Scorpion woman was suspicious.
"No! Could it be the new lord of Central Plains... Master Long who came out of the capital?" The tall man standing behind Fan Wuyan said in a lost voice, as if he had thought of something, and his face suddenly changed drastically.
"It's you! Rumor has it that Master Long, despite being so young, has mastered incredible magic. In just six months, he's already intimidated many of the powerful figures in the four provinces of the Central Plains!"
The tall man's eyes lit up and he spoke with increasing certainty.
"Master Zhongyuan Long?" Fan Wuyan kept repeating the name.
He had not left the Fan family for nearly a year. Everyone in the family was immersed in fire control magic and was very isolated from the news in the secular world.
"Master Fan, I think we should think carefully about bringing Miss Lu back to the sect, especially we should avoid a head-on conflict with Master Long." The tall man whispered.
He forced a smile, but took a few steps back without leaving any trace, putting a few steps distance between him and Long Yi.
"Oh? Judging from your expression, could it be that this kid is some powerful character?" Fan Wuyan asked in surprise.
Although this tall man was not from the Fan family, he knew quite a bit about the tall man. He was an external cultivator at the peak of the Earth Realm, and his body building had already reached the pinnacle. He even had the glorious feat of using his body to resist bullets.
The tall man, sweat dripping down his forehead, couldn't help but say in a hoarse voice, "This young man is more than just a powerful figure. He is the well-deserved underground emperor of the Central Plains. Even Lord Shuntianhai follows his lead."
"So he's from quite a big background!" Although Fan Wuyan said this, his face showed an arrogant attitude as if he had nothing to fear.
"Even if more big guys obey his orders, what's the harm? He's alone now, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
His words were just to put pressure on Long Yi, but he was still a little afraid of Long Yi in his heart.
After all, a fierce dragon from across the river cannot defeat a local snake, and the bigwigs in the four provinces of the Central Plains are not fools. The fact that Long Yi can convince so many bigwigs proves that he is still capable.
"But this kid's talent is truly enviable. He looks only in his early twenties, yet he's already a ruthless character who can intimidate anyone. The young are truly formidable!"
Lu Yiyi's beautiful eyes were full of surprise and suspicion. She originally thought that Long Yi had been working as an intern in the Beijing Hospital, but in just half a year, he had reached the level of the underground emperor of the Central Plains.
"Brother Yi, is everything he said true? What does the underground emperor of the Central Plains do?"
Long Yi smiled slightly and explained, "What the underground emperor means is that in places where the official words of Longguo are not effective, my words will be the imperial decree. However, soon I will not only be the underground emperor, because the officials of Yandu will also support me openly."
After all, Qi Zhixing had just promised him a few days ago that as long as he was willing to become the chief instructor of the Red Dragon, his influence in the Central Plains would receive official support and endorsement from Yandu.
After giving Lu Yiyi a brief explanation, Long Yi fixed his gaze on Fan Wuyan again and said sternly:
"Now, as long as you kneel down and apologize to Miss Lu, I can forgive the unpleasantness that just happened."
At first, Fan Wuyan thought he was hallucinating, but when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but say angrily:
"How dare you! This is the first time in all these years that someone has dared to speak to me like this!
Even if you really are the underground emperor of the Central Plains, so what? The Fan family has never bothered to fight for you before. If a fight really breaks out, even if you can fight ten people alone, the Fan family can easily crush you to death! "
After saying this, he still felt that he had not regained his advantage, so he suddenly pinched his ten fingers together and uttered ancient and vast words.
The next second, a lion created by raging fire appeared out of thin air, waving its claws, leaping up, and pouncing towards Long Yi.
Fan Wuyan controlled the fire lion with precision, just like Zhurong, the ancient god of fire. The lion in the air kept changing its shape, crawling on the ground, roaring, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Long Yi at any time.
Seeing Fan Wuyan casting the spell at such a close distance, Lu Yiyi was stunned for a moment. She felt that the temperature in the air had risen by several degrees, and her exposed skin was also scorched red.
"Haha, that's not the way to brag. My Fan family has killed countless people in the capital, so we don't need a crappy Dragon Master like you!" Fan Wuyan sneered while controlling the Fire Lion.
At this time, Long Yi still had his hands behind his back with a calm expression, but the tall and strong man behind Fan Wuyan had a distorted expression.
