Chapter 533 – Reborn
It was a very short moment, so the crowd hadn’t seen exactly what had happened.
Even the Dragon clan did not know what had happened when they helped Long Chen up. They thought they had failed to save him, but they succeeded in the end. Somehow, Long Chen was theirs.
The whole area was silent.
The Demon Emperor was frozen in place.
After a while, the crowd had no choice but to believe that this was reality. Long Chen was saved. Now that he was with the six masters, even the Demon Emperor could not kill him.
When Liu Yiyi saw this, she smiled through her tears.
Long Chen looked at the teenage girl with a bitter smile, not knowing what to say. He had been on the brink of death, but he had survived because of her.
Although the six did not know why Long Chen hadn’t been killed, they did not ask questions. They were still in the Ancient Demon Domain after all, and they needed to get out fast.
The most shocked and confused person was definitely the Demon Emperor. He had punched Long Chen, and he was confident in his own abilities. Long Chen’s survival was out of his expectations, causing him to first feel shocked, then defeated.
“Do you really think you can take him away just like that? Do you guys think you can save someone the Ancient Demon Domain wants to kill?” asked the Demon Emperor, shaking his head.
“What do you mean by that? He’s already in our hands, and you’re still arguing about it?” asked the girl in blue.
Admittedly, this was a very complex issue, and the Demon Emperor was struggling to solve it. He frowned and pointed a finger in the direction of the Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi. He said mildly, “You guys are too na?ve. Do you think you can save him just like that? Clear Shallows King, Liu Yiyi, you two conspired with the enemy! This is a punishable act!”
Jiang Wuya had only decided to rescue Long Chen because of Liu Yiyi’s words. Liu Yiyi and the Clear Shallows King were still members of the Ancient Demon Domain, so the Demon Emperor could hold them hostage in order to blackmail the Dragon clan. He was very sure that Jiang Wuya cared about their safety. Compared to them, Long Chen was nothing.
The Demon Emperor’s eyes fell on Jiang Wuya. “Wuya, you choose! Either they die, or he dies!”
He had successfully struck Jiang Wuya’s Achilles’ heel.
Helplessness flashed in the Clear Shallows King’s eyes as she said, “Yiyi, we have tried our best, so ...”
Liu Yiyi thought they had succeeded, but was it all for nothing?
Long Chen was the main character of the day, and he had escaped the Demon Emperor’s claws, but he would have to go straight back into them. He would never let the Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi sacrifice themselves for him.
“You’re the mighty Demon Emperor of the Ancient Demon Domain! And yet you are afraid of a puny figure like me, afraid enough to stoop to a lowly threat?” Long Chen broke free of the person supporting him and walked up to the front while he mocked the Demon Emperor.
His words were sharp, catching the Demon Emperor’s Achilles’ heel.
Long Chen had already escaped, but the Demon Emperor had used a lowly method to threaten him. If this got out, it would surely affect his reputation.
“When everyone learns that Demon Emperor Jiang Wuxie used two women to threaten a weak teenager, with one of the women being a Demon King of the Ancient Demon Domain, I wonder what other people will think!” Long Chen continued.
“What are you trying to say, you brat?” The Demon Emperor’s brows were furrowed. He sensed that if news of today’s events got out, it would indeed sound comical. As the clan leader, his reputation was very important. This would indeed affect him.
“Big Brother.” Jiang Wuya couldn’t take it anymore and looked at the Demon Emperor wistfully. “You’re aware of the relationship between me and Clear Shallows. Although we were not fated to be together, I can confidently tell you that if anything happens to her or Yiyi, I will never let the Ancient Demon Domain have a moment of peace for the rest of my life! The Dragon clan is united, and there is nothing in this world that we dare not do. That is all I have to say. This young man is leaving with us today!”
“Are you threatening me?” asked the Demon Emperor furiously.
“I’m not threatening you, I’m just telling you not to force me. I may have left this place by my own will, but I have never forgotten that this was once my home. I hope you won’t kick me out for real; if you do, don’t blame me for treating you like a stranger!” cried Jiang Wuya fiercely.
“You!” The Demon Emperor was so furious, he could not speak.
He knew his younger brother’s personality well—he was an insanely stubborn person. If he made a decision, he would follow through no matter the cost. The Demon Emperor knew that he would actually do as he said, but the problem was that Long Chen was filled with secrets. If the Ancient Demon Domain let him leave now, who could say he would not come back for revenge?
“I hope you listen to me. Goodbye!” After Jiang Wuya finished, he glanced at the Clear Shallows King one more time, clenched his jaw, grabbed Long Chen, and dashed into the pathway. The other five followed him. The fourth layer of the Demon World was finally quiet again.
No one dared to speak.
“Father, Second Uncle took a punch from you. Let this matter rest. I think Long Chen sustained severe foundational damage; he’s almost a cripple. Even if he lives, he will be useless. And what can trash do to the Ancient Demon Domain? You don’t have to worry anymore, Father,” said Jiang Wushang in an attempt to comfort his father.
He made sense.
“I’m going back to the palace. I’ll let you handle the rest,” said the Demon Emperor, resigned.
Jiang Wushang nodded and asked, “What do we do with the Clear Shallows Pavilion?”
The Demon Emperor leaned close to his ear and said, “Liu Yiyi is your cousin; what can we do? Can we do anything to someone with Jiang blood?”
Then the Demon Emperor disappeared.
***
He was saved.
Long Chen felt like he had escaped the clutches of death.
This was the closest he had ever been to a dead end. All he could do was sigh at how lucky he had gotten to survive this ordeal.
But then again, he was very unlucky to have killed the Demon Emperor’s son, even entering the Ancient Demon Domain afterwards ...
Everything was controlled by luck.
The third stage of Blood Sacrifice had caused far more damage than the other stages. Since Rewind could only bring him back to his condition from ten breaths ago, he was not able to recover this time. While he was in the Demon World, he was only forcibly holding on until he was finally saved. Afterwards, he suddenly felt weak throughout his whole body and he fainted before he could thank his saviors.
He did not know how long he had been unconscious.
Suddenly, he felt a warm current flowing into his body. He was not conscious enough to control the fluid, but it still flowed through his body in an orderly manner to slowly heal his internal injuries. It treated the injuries but was not able to heal foundational damage.
After the fluid appeared three times, Long Chen felt much better and slowly regained full consciousness. By the time he opened his eyes, he realized he was lying on a soft, grass mat.
He first saw the girl in the blue dress. While she had a seductive look, there was a hint of mischief and arrogance in her. Although her features conveyed temptation, the actual personality that shone through was filled with mischief.
Other than her, four people surrounded him. They were all male, and one of them was Jiang Wuya. The other three were between Jiang Wuya and the girl in blue’s age, so they were in their twenties to thirties. On the path of cultivation, they were considered youths.
However, they possessed terrifying strength.
“Oh! Big Sister, he’s finally awake,” cried the girl in blue with joy and surprise. Then the other lady came up and Long Chen saw only her eyes, which were as deep as a lake.
She took a look and said, “Mmm. You’ve recovered thanks to the nourishment of the Life Spirit Essence Fluid, but there are still deeper injuries that require a large amount of spiritual herbs to fix.”
Long Chen was suddenly moved by all the concerned looks. They had only just met, yet they cared so much. It was clear that the six of them were good people. He quickly sat up and said, “Thank you all for saving me. I ... I will never forget this!”
Although it had been Liu Yiyi’s request, the fact that they had chosen to save him was a huge act of kindness to Long Chen.
Now that he was awake, the six of them looked at each other and the leading lady said, “Little Brother, why don’t you introduce yourself? We’re all very interested in you.”
Her voice was low, and he could not tell what she was feeling.
“My name is Long Chen ...” Due to the name on the Bounty Board, Long Chen was hesitant to tell them his name.
“Long Chen?” The six of them were indeed surprised. The girl in blue cried in surprise, “What a coincidence! You have the same name as Sister Long Yue’s younger brother.”
Everyone looked at the lady.
Long Chen finally learned that this Dragon Warrior descendant’s name was Long Yue.
So the Long Chen on the Bounty Board is Long Yue’s younger brother?
Long Chen once heard Jiang Cheng say that the top three people on the Bounty Board were masters at the Earthly Martial Realm.
“It is a coincidence indeed.” Long Yue paused, then she said, “Long Chen, with that name, I guess you were fated to meet us. Since you’re awake now, we will officially ask you some questions. Don’t worry, we don’t want to trouble you, so everything is up to you.”
Long Chen froze. What did they want to ask?
