Chapter 773 - Situ Yu’s Plot

The eight Sect Elders stepped back when they were hit with the domain. They were all feeling unwell, so they circulated their essence wildly to combat Bai Lan’s domain. Unfortunately, they couldn’t resist it even if they all combined their power, and they all spat out blood in the end.

The eight Sect Elders looked at each other with shock.

They never expected Bai Lan to be this strong!

It had been a long time since Bai Lan fought, so many of them had forgotten how strong he was. They felt chills run down their spines when they experienced his power first-hand. Although they were just a step away from the Heavenly Martial Realm, Bai Lan could crush all of them easily. This was the gap between someone at the Earthly Martial Realm and the Heavenly Martial Realm.

The Earthly Martial Realm focused only on “Martial,” while the Heavenly Martial Stage focused on something more advanced.

It wasn’t something that a cultivator at the Earthly Martial Stage could comprehend.

After he injured the eight Sect Elders effortlessly, the outsiders took a deep breath and stared at Bai Lan. At the same moment, Bai Lan sweeped his gaze across and warned them in a cold voice, “Remember that I am the patriarch. The decision is in my hands. I’ve dedicated my entire life to the Demon clan. I’ve made more contributions to the Demon clan than any of you! And yet you dare say you would give up my daughter\'s life to satisfy your greed. Hehe... I will give you all a warning. No matter how far you run, and no matter how strong you are, whether you are at the First Earthly Martial Stage or the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, I will kill whoever touches Long Chen from today onwards.”

Bai Lan’s warning made everyone take a step back.

Even the grand elders were intimidated. While he usually looked kind, he was incredibly deadly when he was angry. No one questioned his authority when he warned them. He would really kill those that dared to touch Long Chen, whether they were an outsider or one of the elders.

Bai Lan removed his domain, and everyone slumped down, panting. It was as if a mountain had been lifted off their heads.

Everyone looked at Bai Lan with fear in their eyes.

Long Chen was speechless too. He never thought Bai Lan would be so frightening when he was angry, to the point that even the Sect Elders were frightened.

When no one was paying attention, Suxue had taken her hand off Long Chen’s. She dared not look at him and stared at her father with displeasure. She then noticed that Suyan wasn’t in a good mood and immediately hugged her. “Yan’er, what’s wrong?”

“Sister, is Big Brother going to become my brother-in-law?” Suyan asked in a blank tone.

Suxue was surprised to see that her little sister was in shock, so she quickly responded, “Yan’er, you are thinking too much. This is just our father’s plan to protect your big brother. I’ve just met Long Chen, so there’s no way ...”

“Is that so?” Suyan shook her head. “But you seem to like him ...”

“No. That’s impossible. The situation is a bit tense right now, so I will explain it to you later, alright?”

“Alright.” Suyan nodded and pursed her lips as she stared at Long Chen. No one knew what she was thinking.

Bai Lan was currently glaring at the grand elder who had suggested that they sacrifice Suyan for the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance.

“Huang Zhong, what do you think?”

Huang Zhong was surprised. He took a deep breath as he looked at both Long Chen and Suxue. “I have nothing to say, but we will all be waiting for the wedding feast of Long Chen and Princess Suxue. I hope we won’t be disappointed. The addition of someone as excellent as Long Chen into the Demon clan is naturally a good thing.”

Huang Zhong’s words were very clear. The engagement between Long Chen and Suxue had been presented so suddenly that they required further proof of their marriage.

“Don’t worry. The wedding will occur soon enough. I suppose this will be the very first wedding to be held in the Ancient Graveyard. Hahaha ...” Bai Lan laughed and stared at everyone else. “Does anyone have any objections? You can step up and speak. Is anyone else dissatisfied with me, Bai Lan?”

Everyone, from the regular cultivators, to the Demon clan and Thunder clan, was silent.

Bai Lan was going to take Long Chen away when someone from the Demon clan shouted, “I object!”

Situ Yao’s face fell because he recognized that voice. It belonged to Situ Yu.

As expected, Situ Yu stormed out from the crowd with blood-red eyes. He was glaring at Bai Lan fearlessly, and bloodlust seethed out of his body.

“Oh? Is there anything that you are dissatisfied with?” Situ Yu’s actions made Bai Lan curious. Long Chen was also curious as to why Situ Yu was being so brazen.

Situ Yu’s mind had been tortured to the point that he was on the brink of collapsing. He dared to speak up when even Situ Yao would say nothing in front of Bai Lan.

But Situ Yu wasn’t an idiot. He had followed Situ Yao for numerous years, so he was quite sly himself. He had decided to take a risk and try out an idea.

Situ Yu raised his head and looked at Long Chen with a challenging gaze. “Princess Suxue is at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. I am the strongest young male in the Demon clan, so I should be the one who’s better suited for her. You are just a weakling at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. I shall not yield to that! Also, Patriarch, I remember hearing you say that I would have Princess Suxue’s hand in marriage once I reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. So why are you going against your promise now and marrying her off to someone else?”

Situ Yu was being too brash.

Long Chen thought he was merely an idiot, so seeing him do something so crazy and brave was a huge surprise.

Bai Lan smiled plainly because he thought that what Situ Yu had said was interesting. “Then let me answer your questions. One, Long Chen is not weak. Everyone knows that. Two, have you reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage?”

Situ Yu was further emboldened when he heard that Bai Lan wasn’t outright shooing him away. Situ Yu could not stomach the fact that Long Chen would marry Suxue and take his dream spot. He had always wanted to marry Suxue and become Bai Lan’s son-in-law. He might even have the chance to cultivate the Divine Demon Lord’s secret techniques. How could he yield his spot to Long Chen?

He could not tolerate Long Chen having Suxue in bed!

Situ Yu’s heart was close to exploding from anger, so he stood out bravely. This had been out of everyone’s expectations.

Situ Yu calmed down and answered, “I can answer the two questions. One, who here witnessed Long Chen killing Chen Yang? Maybe he used a trick? How could someone as despicable as him become the son-in-law of the Patriarch? How could he be a match fit for Princess Suxue? Secondly, even though I’m not at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, I’m just a step away. Can’t you give me a bit more time, Patriarch?”

Bai Lan was silent as he stared at the youth and smiled out of exasperation. This guy is quite cunning. So he has indeed inherited Situ Yao’s genes. It seems that the only way I can solidify Long Chen’s reputation and image to everyone is to let them fight each other. I suppose that’s his goal.

Bai Lan smiled. “Situ Yu, in that case, what can we do to make you feel satisfied?”

Situ Yu had been waiting for Bai Lan to say those words. Unbeknownst to him, Bai Lan had already seen through him.

Situ Yu became brazen again. “That’s easy enough. Since Long Chen can kill someone at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage, he should fight me. Wouldn’t it prove that he’s suitable to become your son-in-law if he defeated me? I’m the strongest amongst the younger males of the Demon clan. If he could defeat me, then me and the other guys would be satisfied too.”

Situ Yu had dragged in the interests of all of the other young males, and everyone agreed. Bai Suxue was so pretty that almost every single one of the youths yearned for her. No one would accept that Long Chen would marry her since he had come out of nowhere. Who would let a pig eat the cabbage?

Everyone agreed to Situ Yu’s suggestion.

Situ Yu smiled as if he was satisfied with his “ingenuity.”
