Chapter 532 – Past Affairs
Mid-air, the leading lady caught Jiang Wuya. His face was pale and his chest was sunken in, though Long Chen observed that it was puffing back up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It had to be some Life Combat Technique.
“You didn’t defend yourself? It’s your fault, then.” The Demon Emperor had no idea that the other party wouldn’t defend himself at all.
Jiang Wuya coughed up some blood clots. A few moments later, he managed to get out of the lady’s arms and stand mid-air, proving that his body had a shocking regenerative ability. He looked at the Demon Emperor and said, “Brother, after that punch, I no longer have any connection to the Ancient Demon Domain. This place has never given me anything. If we meet again in the future, I will not hold back then.”
“Big declarations like that should wait until you have reached the Third Earthly Martial Stage. If I had not held back, would you still be alive?” asked the Demon Emperor.
“Let’s go,” the lady commanded before Jiang Wuya could come up with a reply. What had happened was Jiang Wuya’s own choice. Although the other five wanted to stop him, it was useless to speak when he was this stubborn.
Considering how powerful they were, if they really wanted to leave, the Demon Emperor could not stop them. However, they had given the Demon Emperor some face because Jiang Wuya was once part of the Ancient Demon Domain.
Under the trembling gazes of the crowd, the six members of the Dragon clan started moving towards the exit. Halfway, Jiang Wuya suddenly halted and turned around to look at the Clear Shallows King, who was tearing up.
When he saw the look in the Clear Shallows King’s eyes, his chest tightened. The other five also stopped when he did and looked at him with concern. The girl in blue asked, “Second Brother, what’s the matter?”
“Wait for me. I need to chat with an old friend.” Then Jiang Wuya went towards the Clear Shallows King. Everyone around the Clear Shallows King backed away in fear when they saw him approaching. Only Liu Yiyi remained, though she was puzzled. She held the Clear Shallows King’s arm and hid behind her back, eyeing this strange but familiar man timidly.
“Clear Shallows, it’s been over ten years since we last saw each other, hasn’t it? I’ve come to the Ancient Demon Domain a few times since, but I never saw you. Have you been well?” Jiang Wuya was a little reserved.
“I’ve been very well.” The Clear Shallows King hurriedly wiped her tears and gave a faint smile.
Jiang Wuya sighed in relief and said, “Our identities have changed. Old friends like us can’t meet anymore. I heard you had a daughter; I’m guessing it’s her. She’s ...”
When Jiang Wuya finally gave Liu Yiyi a good look, he froze. The feeling of bloodlines connecting suddenly overwhelmed him.
His face made Jiang Wuxie and the others give a knowing smirk.
“Yes, she’s my daughter.” The Clear Shallows King quickly pulled Liu Yiyi behind her. Pain flashed in her eyes, but soon, she buried it and looked at him bravely.
Shock crashed through Jiang Wuya’s heart. When he finally stabilized his emotions after great difficulty, the Clear Shallows King said coldly, “Wuya, since you decided to betray us, you should leave as soon as possible. This is no place for you. We haven’t been friends for a long time. You should leave.”
“What is her name ...” asked Jiang Wuya, as if talking in his sleep.
“I am Liu Yiyi.” Liu Yiyi didn’t know how her mother was related to this man. Growing up, she had heard stories about this person. He used to be a prodigy in the Ancient Demon Domain, but after that, he killed countless Martial Alliance members for a woman and betrayed the Ancient Demon Domain. Thus, he became one of the top ten on the Bounty Board!
To her surprise, her mother seemed to be quite familiar with Jiang Wuya. At this moment, Liu Yiyi was mostly concerned about Long Chen. When the six of them appeared, she had imagined they would rescue Long Chen, but she was left disappointed because they had not given Long Chen even one look.
When the man spoke to her mother, Liu Yiyi knew this was her chance. Especially when he even asked for her name, she knew that he cared about her, so she quickly begged him, “Can ... Can I please ask you for something? Could you do me a favor? Please?”
The Clear Shallows King quickly said, “Yiyi, don’t trouble him.”
Jiang Wuya took a deep breath. His thoughts were a mess because he knew that this teenage girl was likely related to him. He recalled the dramatic love affair years ago and knew in his heart.
“What do you want? I will do it!” he said hurriedly.
“Save him. Take him away.” Hope had returned. Liu Yiyi pointed at Long Chen in panic, as if she had found a chance for him to live. She said with tears in her eyes, “Save him and take him away, I’m begging you ...”
Seeing her heartbroken gaze was a huge blow to Jiang Wuya. He looked at Long Chen. He knew what the young man had just done, and even he had thought about rescuing the young man. However, this would cause a huge conflict with the Ancient Demon Domain!
Therefore, he had decided to simply walk away!
But now this girl, who was very likely his daughter, had begged him so sincerely. How could he refuse?
Saving the teenager was going to be complicated. Jiang Wuya knew that it would bring great trouble.
He glanced at the Clear Shallows King and saw no objection in her eyes. Although she did not speak, Jiang Wuya knew that she hoped he saved Long Chen too. He made his decision in his heart.
“I’m sorry.”
After that, he went back to his gang in the blink of an eye. Liu Yiyi had spoken quite loudly, so almost all the masters present were watching to see what Jiang Wuya would do.
“You want to save him? It looks like you guys are certainly going to fight the Ancient Demon Domain today.” The Demon Emperor smirked.
When the other five members of the Dragon clan met Jiang Wuya’s eyes, they saw the determination in them. The leading lady’s eyes widened the most, but she very quickly stabilized her emotions.
Since the six of them had not left yet, it showed their decision.
“We must take this young man away,” said the lady.
“Nonsense! He killed a Demon King of the Ancient Demon Domain and many grand elders! Even the king of the heavens will not be able to take him away!”
The harshness of the Demon Emperor’s attitude was a huge problem to the six people. A few of their brows were deeply furrowed. But when Jiang Wuya glanced at Liu Yiyi again, the hopeful look in her eyes made him decide that he would do his best no matter what.
“Yue, are you confident?” Jiang Wuya asked in a low voice.
“I will try.” The black-clothed lady took a few steps forward.
Long Chen was watching the whole process. He had not expected Liu Yiyi to be his last ray of hope. He knew that Liu Yiyi had always liked him very much, but he had no choice but to let her go because he never belonged to this place, and his life goal was to meet Ling Xi.
Could that man named Jiang Wuya be Yiyi’s father? Long Chen came to this conclusion after observing their behavior. The tension in the air was thick; it was clear that they were ready to grab him immediately.
Long Chen did not want his fate to be in another person’s hands at a moment like this.
I am severely injured, so I definitely cannot use Blood Warp. Although those people are as strong as the whole Ancient Demon Domain, I am very fragile right now. Even if they manage to get me, the Demon Emperor and the rest can kill me with a casual attack. I cannot just wait like this ...
The only thing I can use is the Primordial Dragon Talisman. This talisman has its own powers, so it is unrelated to my body’s condition ...
Now’s the time!
Long Chen started to move!
Both sides were still in a standoff; one side was thinking about how to save Long Chen, while the other side was playing defense. The Demon Emperor was ready to instruct a Demon King to lock Long Chen up. Previously, Long Chen was not able to run even though they were not holding him. It was different now. Since they wanted to save him, the Demon Emperor had to lock Long Chen up.
Long Chen suddenly sprinted towards the six!
His movement was the hairpin trigger!
The lady moved at the same time as the Demon Emperor!
Since the Demon Emperor was closer to Long Chen, he appeared next to him in a flash. The Demon Emperor watched the fast-approaching lady with a smirk and said, “You want to save him? Let’s see how you’ll save him when he’s dead!”
He had been trying to come up with an appropriate way to kill Long Chen to make him pay for the losses, but since these masters wanted to save Long Chen, he obviously could not let them get away with him. Therefore, he had decided to kill Long Chen directly!
Killing Long Chen was a simple task for the Demon Emperor!
Another punch!
Sparks flew!
The Demon Emperor was closer to Long Chen, so he arrived first. Just because of this slight advantage, his fist hit Long Chen. It was a simple punch, but it was enough for Long Chen’s life force to fade very quickly!
Now! Primordial Dragon Talisman, Rewind!
At the very last moment, Long Chen used Rewind!
Time flowed backwards and his body returned to the state it was in ten breaths ago!
The Demon Emperor had assumed that a casual punch would be enough to kill Long Chen. After he confirmed that Long Chen would die, he was about to laugh, but Long Chen merely tumbled once on the ground and looked exactly the same. Most bizarrely, he was somehow caught and guarded by the Dragon clan.
This was the most intense moment of Long Chen’s life.
And he had succeeded.
