Dragon Blooded War God

Chapter 386 - Avenging Danfeng

Life at the Heavenly Demon Palace was quiet once more, but a storm was brewing beneath the calm.

After returning from Dongfang Xuanxiao’s place, Long Chen was still thinking about the day’s events. Ling Xi suddenly said, “Brother Chen, Murong Yu told you their secret and caused the three Demon Elders’ plan to fail. Do you think it’ll affect her after they return? She was kind enough to help you; she must be innocent ...”

It was clear that Ling Xi was actually worried about her. Previously, Ling Xi hated Liu Lan of the Lingwu family when she had close contact with Long Chen, but Murong Yu had helped Long Chen several times without asking for anything in return. That was why Ling Xi liked her.

Long Chen’s eyebrows were furrowed. After thinking for a while, he said, “No way. Since she helped me, and can be considered the person who saved my stepfather, I cannot abandon her. I’ll go to Three Demons City right now!”

Long Chen intended to leave immediately.

“Brother Chen, are you going to go alone? Why don’t you call your master?” reminded Ling Xi.

“There’s no need. After what just happened, will the three Demon Elders dare touch me? With Xiaolang here, they couldn’t kill me even if they wanted to!” With Zhao Qingyun supporting him, Long Chen was not afraid of the three Demon Elders.

Then he called for Xiaolang and rushed towards Three Demons City. The sky was slowly brightening now, and the morning light was starting to shine upon the Heavenly Demon Palace. Being in the corner of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the location of Three Demons City was highlighted by the morning light.

Very soon, Long Chen arrived. It was actually an extra-large courtyard with some bronze doors. Right now, there were many disciples guarding them. When they saw Long Chen, they grew slightly panicked because they recognized him, and many had personally seen him show the equivalent of two thousand Fire Essences at the Demon Pavilion.

Before he approached, one of the disciples mustered up his courage to ask Long Chen in an impolite tone, “Long Chen, what are you doing at Three Demons City?” Long Chen had made the three Demon Elders lose face after all, and as the three Demon Elders’ disciples, they were also embarrassed.

“I want to see Murong Yu,” Long Chen answered mildly, standing at the door.

“Senior Murong Yu?” Everyone froze, then they eyed Long Chen up and down cautiously. Murong Yu was a goddess to the Heavenly Demon Palace disciples, and everyone drooled after her. If Long Chen said he wanted to see her, then it was obviously because he admired her.

There was a saying to not let nutritious water flow to an outsider’s paddy field. Murong Yu was not just nutritious water, she was the goddess of Three Demons City! If this outsider got her, no one would feel good about it. Therefore, they all immediately gathered their courage to refuse him by saying, “No way! Senior Murong doesn’t even want to see us, let alone you.”

“She’s not seeing anyone? Is this a lie you made up?” Long Chen said coldly with a raised eyebrow.

“Who said we made this up? Long Chen, are you trying to force yourself in? I’ll go tell the Demon Elders now! Even with the Palace Lord helping you, you’ll suffer for trying to break into Three Demons City!” the disciple yelled sternly. He stepped back as he yelled, and a few of the disciples grouped together, nervously looking at Long Chen.

“Oh? Are you guys saying that the three Demon Elders are more powerful than the Palace Lord? How dare you say such insubordinate things? Whatever. I’m too lazy to argue. I’ll give you two options: you either ask Murong Yu to come out here, or you lead me to her!” said Long Chen while closing in on the disciples. Even without using the Dragon Soul Transformation, he was at the peak of the Seventh River Stage and had surpassed Yang Jun. No one here could withstand one strike from him, so they all stumbled backwards in terror.

“Long Chen, you’re looking for death!”

“Yeah, our masters will kill you!”

They did not forget to threaten him even after they retreated in terror.

Long Chen did not care. All he wanted was to enter Three Demons City alone, and as soon as he saw that Murong Yu was safe, he would leave.

“Long Chen, that’s enough!” someone shouted. Long Chen looked up and saw the three Demon Elders walking out. The First Demon Elder and the Second Demon Elder stopped, while the Third Demon Elder walked forward and glared at Long Chen with reddened eyes. He threatened fiercely, “You brat! Don’t make me remind you again that what happened last night is not over! Even though the Palace Lord is backing you, we are still furious. If you force our hand, don’t blame me for not being able to control myself! I won’t hold back!”

He was speaking in a very low voice, so the other disciples could not hear him clearly.

“I am not here to cause trouble. All I want is to see Murong Yu. Even though she is your disciple, I do have the right to see her once, don’t I?” Long Chen said without fear.

“And if we don’t let you see her?” The Third Demon Elder smirked.

“It’s simple. I will see her even if I have to force myself in!” Long Chen had a bad feeling. Based on how they were blocking him, had something really happened to Murong Yu?

After the Third Demon Elder heard Long Chen, he suddenly burst into laughter, which echoed across the area and shook the ground. He finally stopped and yelled in the direction of the Three Demons City. “Xiao Yu, come out here.”

Immediately after, Murong Yu appeared in front of Long Chen. He found that she was the same as last night—tall, elegant, and curvy. But he somehow felt like she was radiating a distant coldness.

“Xiao Yu, tell this brat clearly that he needs to get the hell out of here. We’re watching.” The Third Demon Elder smirked, then went to stand next to the First Demon Elder, looking at Long Chen in amusement.

Murong Yu stepped forward until she was two meters away from Long Chen, then she shot him a cold look.

“Are you alright?” Long Chen was relieved when he saw that she was not hurt. However, he felt like she was acting unnatural; she was much colder than before.

“I’m fine. Why is that any of your business?” Murong Yu suddenly raised her voice. There was some hatred in her tone.

Long Chen was a little stunned, but based on Murong Yu’s expression, it was as if she wanted to pick a fight with him.

“Hey, what’s going on with you? Did the three old geezers force you into this? Did they do something shady?” Long Chen whispered. He felt like Murong Yu was acting a little unnatural, likely because of the three people standing behind her.

“You’re thinking too much. Long Chen, let me tell you this. Yang Danfeng and I have been close friends since we were young, yet you killed him! My masters did not spread this information, but I know everything that happened! That is why you should not underestimate the hatred I feel towards you!” Murong Yu said in a low voice. The other disciples couldn’t hear her, but the Demon Elders could.

What was going on?

Long Chen was momentarily stunned because Murong Yu’s behavior had taken a sudden turn. Even if Long Chen was a fool, there was no way he wouldn’t know how much she hated Yang Danfeng. Now she was saying that they were close friends? What nonsense was that?

“Long Chen! Listen to me! I have a hundred percent confidence in getting my cultivation level up to the Ninth River Stage before the fight for the Demon Emperor Sword. You’d better prepare yourself. When that day comes, I will kill you to avenge Danfeng!” Murong Yu said coldly, ignoring Long Chen’s reaction.

“You ...” Long Chen did not know what to say, because she was acting too strangely. He knew that she was acting this way because something had happened.

“I’ve got nothing else to say. We are now enemies, so do not look for me again. You’re ruining my reputation! Don’t blame me for treating you badly if you do!”

Then Murong Yu turned to leave without even giving Long Chen a chance to reply.

Only the disciples, who didn’t know what was going on, and the three Demon Elders remained. After Murong Yu left, they smiled approvingly and looked at Long Chen. “You brat, did you hear that? The toad can’t get the swan! Get the hell out! Once the fight for the Demon Emperor Sword arrives, you’ll have it coming! Xiao Yu will become a Ninth River Stage prodigy, and in the future, she will surely reach the Heavenly Passage Realm. You’re nothing but a clown!”

This was a rare time where Long Chen did not argue with the three Demon Elders, as his brain was filled with Murong Yu’s words. Under normal circumstances, she would never have been like this. That was why he was in deep thought.

“Hey, kid, nothing to say?” the Third Demon Elder asked rudely.

“I do not speak to animals.” Long Chen smiled, and before the Third Demon Elder understood the insult, he turned to leave. All he thought about was Murong Yu’s strange behavior.

“Did he call me an animal?” The Third Demon Elder felt as if he had eaten a fly that he would never cough up if he did not get to torture Long Chen.

“Don’t cause trouble and ruin our plan,” the First Demon Elder said gently.

The three Demon Elders were very satisfied with Murong Yu’s performance today. After Long Chen left, they left too. The remaining disciples looked at each other, and one of them said, “Did I hear that right? I think the Third Demon Elder said that Senior Murong is going to reach the Ninth River Stage?”

“Based on his tone, he seemed confident. If he’s that confident, then it must be a certainty!” said another.

“Heavens! Doesn’t that mean Senior Yang Danfeng will lose?”

“That’s right! But why didn’t I see Senior Yang Danfeng today?”

“He’s probably in a cultivation retreat and also preparing to break through to the Ninth River Stage. But with Senior Murong Yu on our side, the Demon Emperor Sword will definitely belong to Three Demons City!”
