Dragon Blooded War God-Chapter 360 - Brother Chen Appears

Many people agreed with the Third Demon Elder.

Zhao Qingyun frowned slightly. Long Chen was not here, and that was a fact. He did not know what to say, so he let them be.

“When did that little brat Long Chen become this unreliable? With his personality, even if he did not complete the technique, he wouldn’t get cold feet.” Zhao Qingyun was very confused.

“Palace Lord, I think we should call it off. Long Chen has probably taken the Traceless Demon Shadow scripture and slipped out of Demon Emperor Mountain. The Heavenly Demon Palace probably only has Two Great Secret Scriptures left!” the Third Demon Elder mocked.

“Shut your mouth!” Zhao Qingyun was already slightly angry. The rage of a Heavenly Passage Realm master was the equivalent of a storm slamming into the Third Demon Elder. The Third Demon Elder let out a grunt and stumbled a few steps backwards, almost falling on his bottom.

“Let me tell you this: I am the Heavenly Demon Lord, not you! Long Chen is a disciple I took in! You say he’s a traitor; doesn’t that mean you’re calling me blind? Third Demon Elder, you’re bold!”

Zhao Qingyun was usually mild-tempered, but the moment he raged, the whole crowd fell completely silent. They were initially prepared to cheer in support of the Third Demon Elder, but when they saw Zhao Qingyun rage, they recalled that Long Chen was his favorite disciple and realized that they had indeed crossed the line.

The Third Demon Elder was very unwilling to be suppressed by Zhao Qingyun, but with Zhao Qingyun’s status and strength, the Third Demon Elder was completely helpless.

“Old Three, why are you so impatient? Why don’t we wait two more hours? After that, you won’t need to do anything. The Palace Lord will know how to deal with it.” The First Demon Elder’s hoarse voice woke the Third Demon Elder up. He nodded solemnly.

Standing behind the First Demon Elder was his number one disciple, Yang Danfeng, at the Eighth River Stage. And standing behind the Second Demon Elder was also her disciple, Murong Yu at the Eighth River Stage.

Murong Yu said gently, “I think he will come. I told him the trick to cultivate the technique. Then again, he wouldn’t succeed even if he had forty days to practice. Twenty days is just too short. However, based on his personality, I don’t think he ran with the scriptures. If he wasn’t held up by something else, he will definitely come.”

Murong Yu’s words stunned the people around her. They all gave her strange looks, especially Yang Danfeng, who did not understand why she had spoken up.

“Xiao Yu, do you know Long Chen? And you two have an amicable relationship?” the Second Demon Elder asked sternly.

Murong Yu nodded and told her about the time they had met at the misty valley.

“All I saw is that he works very hard and is a man who can shoulder responsibility. He seemed like a good person, which is why I helped him,” said Murong Yu, slightly embarrassed.

“Nonsense!” the Second Demon Elder snapped, suppressing her voice.

Murong Yu was stunned.

“Xiao Yu, listen to me. Try not to interact with Long Chen in the future, or I will punish you,” the Second Demon Elder said in a low voice. The three Demon Elders held strong contempt for Long Chen, yet as the number one disciple of the Second Demon Elder, Murong Yu had given Long Chen so much help, which infuriated the trio.

“You should not have helped him at the time; you should have let him die. That way, your Third Martial Uncle would not have suffered so much with Yang Jun!” The Second Demon Elder looked at her blamefully.

After some hesitation, Murong Yu finally voiced her confusion. “Master, I don’t understand. Isn’t Long Chen quite a good person? He holds huge potential, and now that he has entered the Heavenly Demon Palace, he will definitely strengthen the clan. He might even reach the Heavenly Passage Realm. Plus, he and the imperials are enemies. Isn’t that in alignment with our objectives?”

“Xiao Yu, are you actually an idiot?” The Second Demon Elder shook her head. “Have you forgotten? According to the ancestral rules, the person who possesses the three secret scriptures, successfully cultivates them, and is recognized as master by the Demon Emperor Sword has the right to become the next Palace Lord. Do you want the ruling seat of the Heavenly Demon Palace to end up with an outsider, whose background is unknown?”

Murong Yu understood her logic and finally understood the reason why the three Demon Elders were so nervous about Long Chen. After they confirmed that Long Chen was indeed the infamous Long Chen from the outside world, they were not relieved at all. Their mockery had turned into caution. They had long planned for one of their own disciples to become the next Heavenly Demon Lord, but Long Chen had suddenly appeared. Who would feel good about this?

Murong Yu could only smile in exasperation. In reality, she did not really care for the position of Palace Lord. The person who really cared about it was next to her—Yang Danfeng. At this moment, he was staring at Murong Yu with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

Zhao Qingyun had suppressed the three Demon Elders, but after waiting for a long time, the disciples lost their patience. They started to discuss in whispers.

“Whatever, let’s go back. It’s definitely going to be a no-show.”

“Damn it, I was looking forward to this! Long Chen is a coward!”

Not far away from them was the young Wang Xing. He had come here with infinite admiration and respect for Long Chen. However, Long Chen had not shown up, and he felt very uncomfortable listening to other people insulting him. Finally, he could not stand it any longer and turned around to yell, “Shut up! How could Brother Chen be afraid of Yang Jun? He must have been delayed by something important! You all just wait! Very soon, he will get here and use Traceless Demon Shadow to defeat Yang Jun!” f(r)eenovelkiss.com

“You bratty kid! What did you say? Are you looking for death?” Wang Xing’s outfit showed that he was just an errand boy. It was insubordinate for an errand boy to speak so rudely to them.

When Wang Xing saw that the others looked like they wanted to beat him up, he stumbled a few steps back in fear. However, when he thought of Long Chen, he gained courage and said, “I’m just telling the truth. Brother Chen will be here very soon. All you people speaking ill of him are looking for death!”

“Heh, he’s actually fighting back! My brothers, let’s beat him up!” The whole group raised their fists and surrounded him. They were about to attack when a person stood in front of them. It was Yang Danfeng. The First Demon Elder had spotted the fight brewing and was growing worried that it would throw the whole crowd into chaos, so he sent Yang Danfeng as a control measure.

The bullies were disciples under the First Demon Elder, as well as an errand boy.

“You fools! Slap each other a hundred times when you get back home! I will check later, and if I see that your faces are not swollen, I will slap you myself!” Yang Danfeng’s cold voice made them feel as if they had fallen into a freezer. They would undeniably pick to slap each other themselves. If Yang Danfeng did it, would they survive?

The disciples fled pathetically.

Yang Danfeng turned around and glanced at the timid Wang Xing. “Do you even know Long Chen?”

“Yeah! Brother Chen is very good to me!” Wang Xing said proudly.

Yang Danfeng smiled and returned to stand behind the First Demon Elder without another word. This small conflict was just a minor interruption in comparison to the whole event.

One more hour passed. The crowd had completely lost their patience, and even Zhao Qingyun could no longer suppress their resentment. If he continued to force everyone to remain, as a Palace Lord, his reputation would be the worst it had ever been.

“Father-in-law, perhaps Chen’er really isn’t coming. Maybe we should let them all go back?” suggested Dongfang Xuanxiao, worried that Zhao Qingyun’s ratings would fall greatly.

Zhao Qingyun could only nod tiredly. He was ready to announce it when the crowd suddenly erupted. Zhao Qingyun’s heart trembled when he looked to the left. Indeed, there was a figure rushing over at extremely high speed. Boom! The person broke through the crowd and stood on the Martial Arena!

It was none other than Long Chen.

Everyone’s minds went blank for a while when they stared at the panting but determined teenager. They all thought that if Long Chen showed up, he would be scolded to death. But looking at how hard he was panting, it looked like he had truly been held up by something...?

“He finally came.” Zhao Qingyun smiled approvingly. If he did not come, no matter how the day ended, it would’ve been difficult for Zhao Qingyun to pick up the pieces.

Dongfang Xuanxiao and Zhao Xuanming both heaved a sigh in relief.

The only person on the side of the three Demon Elders who sighed in relief was Murong Yu. She knew she had not made a mistake. Long Chen had killed Song Zhongcheng, so there was no way he was afraid of a Seventh River-Stage cultivator like Yang Jun.

The three Demon Elders had very interesting expressions, though the Third Demon Elder was the most furious. He yelled, “Long Chen, if you were afraid, you should not have even come! How dare you even agree to a duel against Yang Jun?! You left ten thousand members of the Heavenly Demon Palace here waiting for you! What is the meaning of this?!”

Long Chen was also very frustrated internally. He had excavated the stone talisman and then time slowed down. Two days had passed in just the blink of an eye! And even after he rushed over as fast as he could, the crowd had already been waiting for almost an hour.

“Everyone, I apologize. I was held up by some important matters. However, there is no need to be resentful because soon, you will witness a very exciting duel! I believe every person here will think that this show was worth their time!” Long Chen looked around him. His words were filled with confidence.

Did he succeed? Murong Yu had a feeling.

Yang Jun slowly looked up and said darkly, “That important matter of yours made ten thousand members of the Heavenly Demon Palace wait an hour for you. Long Chen, you think too highly of yourself!”

“That’s right! Who do you think you are? That I have to wait here for you?”

“Thinking you can cultivate Traceless Demon Shadow in twenty days is the joke of all jokes! Long Chen, if you can really do it, why don’t you show us your Traceless Demon Shadow?”

The people watching below were furious.

“Since I have already caused a delay, then I shall not waste more time on nonsense. Yang Jun, talk is meaningless. Shall we begin?”
