Chapter 396 - Bleak Future



Chapter 396 - Bleak Future

Who would want a worm that could kill them at any time inside their body?

Whether what Long Chen had said was the truth or not, the staunch believers of the three Demon Elders still refused to believe it. They wouldn’t budge until Long Chen explained how he had killed the Yin Black Worm. The others, however, believed Long Chen.

Zhao Qingyun sighed when he looked at Long Chen.

He’s just like a wild horse. Looks like I have to work around the clock from today onwards.

Zhao Qingyun was a lazy man, which was why he had given most of his power to the three Demon Elders. But now that their trust had been damaged by Long Chen, they would not have that much commanding power anymore. Zhao Qingyun would need to take some time to deal with it.

The Second Demon Elder looked kindly at Murong Yu. “Xiaoyu, stop getting tricked by Long Chen. Come back with us to Three Demons City. Let me heal your injuries.”

Murong Yu lowered her head. On one side was her master, on the other was Long Chen. She didn’t know what to do. She would’ve chosen her master in the past, but it wasn’t the same ever since she implanted the Yin Black Worm in her body. Murong Yu would’ve died a painful death without Long Chen.

Long Chen looked at her. “Don’t go back with them. Just focus on recuperating before deciding whether you want to go back or not.”

Murong Yu indeed needed some time to calm down. She would’ve probably gone crazy if she returned to Three Demon City now, so she bit her lip and said, “Master, let me rest for a moment. I will return later ...”

“That’s the right way to do things.” Long Chen clapped and laughed. “The Palace Master is here. Since her injuries are bad, the Palace Master will give her some herbs so she can recover, right?”

“Of course.” Zhao Qingyun sighed and laughed. Long Chen made him speechless sometimes.

Murong Yu’s choice made the others even more suspicious of the three Demon Elders. The three of them walked away angrily after seeing all the suspicious gazes. They had been humiliated too much and their reputation was in the gutter. More importantly, the Third Demon Elder had been pummeled by Long Chen!

This was a massive blow to them.

The three Demon Elders were used to bringing down Zhao Qingyun’s reputation, but Long Chen had turned the tables, leaving his master extremely satisfied. More importantly, Long Chen had defeated the two strongest youths, Yang Danfeng and Murong Yu. He had even defeated the Third Demon Elder and stomped him with just two attacks. No one else would say Zhao Qingyun was bad at finding disciples anymore.

Once everyone left, Zhao Qingyun shook his head at Long Chen and Murong Yu. “Long Chen, you are forcing me to face off against the three Demon Elders. They have indeed done a lot for the Heavenly Demon Palace, and this place would definitely be more chaotic without them. It’s good that you slapped them in the face, but it’s best not to push them too much.”

“I understand, Master.” Long Chen smiled plainly. He knew that the three Demon Elders had been coddled by Zhao Qingyun for too long and he just wanted to step back.

Zhao Qingyun looked at Murong Yu pitifully. “Xiaoyu, it seems that you have suffered a lot. Go and stay at the Azure Cloud Residence. I see your injuries are quite bad, so you just need to focus on healing. I can also take care of you at the residence.”

“Thank you, Palace Master.” Murong Yu nodded.

She actually hated the three Demon Elders now, so she chose to stay by Long Chen. Still, she was uncomfortable with betraying the people who had raised her.

Zhao Qingyun looked at Long Chen’s Demon Emperor Sword and stroked his beard with pride. “Not bad. It seems that the sword recognizes you as its owner.”

“Of course. I’m none other than Long Chen.” Long Chen was happy that he had completed his objective.

“What do you want to do next?” Zhao Qingyun suddenly asked.

Three months had passed, and Long Chen had finished what he had come here for. He knew it was time to part ways.

“Let me finish cultivating the Demon Emperor Sword Technique first.”

The rule of the Heavenly Demon Palace was that the one who managed to wield the Demon Emperor Sword would become the Palace Master, but both him and Zhao Qingyun knew that Long Chen was only here temporarily. This place was just another stop in his journey.

Long Chen walked back to the Azure Cloud Residence and cultivation quietly. Murong Yu was recuperating in the house beside him.

Everyone else learned about what had happened that day and about the wicked deeds of the three Demon Elders. Long Chen’s talent was also engraved into everyone’s minds. No one had thought that the brat at the Fourth River Stage would grow so fast in just three months.

It had not been an easy journey for Long Chen.

Time slowly passed, and Long Chen’s mastery over the Demon Emperor Sword Technique improved. His comprehension had always been good thanks to the Dragon Jade Pendant, and with Ling Xi’s help, his proficiency in the technique grew tremendously. As long as he continued to practice, he would be able to use it effortlessly.

During the time he was cultivating, the three Demon Elders’ reputation dropped to the point that it was beyond saving. Zhao Qingyun took the chance to handle a lot of the Heavenly Demon Palace’s matters and started taking care of things himself. And so, the strongest cultivator, the Palace Master, and his strongest disciple, Long Chen, became legends ...

Only Zhaoqing Yun knew that Long Chen would leave the place the moment finished cultivating.

Xiaolang, on the other hand, was researching the Demon Seed Planting Technique. Since Long Chen had completed the second stage, Xiaolang managed to cultivate it with his advice and teachings. He didn’t make as many mistakes as Long Chen thanks to the latter’s experience. Xiaolang could now defeat a Ninth River Stage cultivator with ease, and Long Chen could kill someone beyond that level!

One day, when he finished cultivating, Ling Xi floated out of the Ling Xi Sword to get some fresh air.

“Ling Xi, we are about to head back to the capital to get our revenge. You will then get a body and we can travel the world with Xiaolang. Why do you not look happy?”

“Do I not?” Ling Xi forced a smile.

Long Chen was certain.

“Xiao Xi, please tell me what’s on your mind. Do you not want me to go back because you’re afraid I will die?” Long Chen tried to guess why.

“Yes.” Ling Xi nodded. She wasn’t worried about that; she was actually confident in Long Chen’s strength. The only thing he didn’t know was that once he obtained the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit and restored her body, her family would take her away from him. At that time, there would be nothing he could do.

But she didn’t dare say it. She looked at his passionate eyes and kept the secret to herself. Long Chen wanted to restore her body and had fought so hard to fulfill his promises. Ling Xi did not have the heart to stop him, as she knew how much it would impact him.

Although she was laughing, she was secretly suffering.

“Xiao Xi, who do you think I am? I have survived countless dangerous situations. Do you think I’m afraid of the Biyang Imperial Capital? Don’t worry. The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit will be yours. Plus, I need to restore your body so I can kiss you!”

Long Chen patted his chest with confidence.

“You need to protect yourself and live on when I’m not with you, alright?” Ling Xi suddenly said.
