Dragon Blooded War God-Chapter 395 - Justice In Everyone’s Heart

Long Chen had actually just opposed the three Demon Elders and stepped on one of them in front of everyone else.

He was not afraid of the consequences. The two remaining Demon Elders were glaring at him, but he didn’t back down even when the Third Demon Elder tried to get up. Long Chen merely stomped harder and bruised the face of the man beneath him. The Third Demon Elder was utterly immobilized!

“Chen’er, let him go.” Zhao Qingyun defused the situation, and Long Chen heeded. He was defiant, but he needed to give his master the respect he deserved, so he moved his leg.

Zhao Qingyun was secretly elated, but he had to put on a look of sympathy when he helped the Third Demon Elder up. The Third Demon Elder was not only hurt, but also humiliated. He almost couldn’t hold himself back from charging at Long Chen the moment he got up, but Zhao Qingyun had a firm grasp on him. Everyone else saw that Zhao Qingyun was helping him up, but actually, he was holding the Third Demon Elder down before pushing him towards the other two.

“Let me go!” the Third Demon Elder shouted, but the First Demon Elder held him back. His eyes were bloodshot and his clothes were covered in dirt, but he wanted to skin Long Chen alive!

The First Demon Elder was old, but he was not weak. “Calm down and don’t embarrass me!” he said into the Third Demon Elder’s ear, his voice icy. The Third Demon Elder finally snapped out of it. He understood that no matter how angry he got, the two Demon Elders would never let him go, so there was no choice but to suppress his anger.

“Long Chen, you need to give us an explanation. If you can’t, I will have to punish you even though you are my direct disciple,” Zhao Qingyun said in a chilly voice.

Long Chen knew that Zhao Qingyun was just putting on a show of empathy for the sake of the three Demon Elders and the other people in positions of power; he actually had no ill intention towards Long Chen.

Long Chen only needed to follow the narrative and explain his story. He told them about Murong Yu and laughed at the three Demon Elders. He then walked towards Murong Yu. Currently, she was very nervous and didn’t know what to say.

“Everyone, do you know what a Yin Black Worm is?” Long Chen stood beside her and looked at her pitifully.

The three Demon Elders’s expressions changed when they heard that. The First Demon Elder immediately calmed down and signaled the other two to remain calm.

“Yin Black Worm?” Zhao Qingyun looked at the Second Demon Elder. He knew that she was the one who was good at dealing with poisonous insects.

The others who knew that the Second Demon Elder was familiar with insects looked at her too. The Black Yin Worm was uncommon, but it was quite a famous insect in the Heavenly Demon Palace. One of the middle-aged elders explained, “I know of the Yin Black Worm. It's a notorious poisonous insect that people can cultivate, and an ancient curse is used to control it. It can be planted in someone’s body and be used to control them. If they don’t obey the owner’s command, the worm activates and eats the victim’s heart while they’re still alive. The Second Demon Elder is a famous user of poisonous insects, but why do you bring it up?”

The elder that had spoken was clearly on the side of Zhao Qingyun. When Long Chen asked about the Yin Black Worm, he more or less guessed what had happened. Not only had he explained the vileness of the worm, he had even flat-out said that the Second Demon Elder was good at cultivating poisonous insects.

Long Chen was elated. That old man is so cunning!

He looked around before looking at the Three Demon Elders. “The reason why I attacked them was because I was so angry at the injustice. Everyone here will understand when I tell you what happened.”

When he was about to explain what was happening, Murong Yu grabbed his arm, leaving him stunned. He knew that she didn’t want him to talk about it, but Long Chen would not back down. “When we were in the space of the Demon Emperor Sword, I defeated her and obtained the sword. But then I saw her collapse, which was when the Yin Black Worm started eating her heart! If I hadn’t saved her, she would’ve died in there! I was treating her, that’s why it took us so long to exit! Everyone, the Second Demon Elder excels at cultivating poisonous insects and Murong Yu had Yin Black Worm inside her. I’m sure everyone can guess what happened! I can’t believe someone would treat their disciple like this! Do you think beasts like them deserve to live?”

Everyone gasped when they heard his explanation. They never thought the Demon Elders would do that.

“No wonder they came out so late. It seems likely that it happened.”

“But why would the three Demon Elders do that to their most prized disciple?”

Everyone chatted and discussed amongst themselves.

The First Demon Elder calmed everyone down, saying, “Everyone, Long Chen’s words are lies and baseless. He said we implanted the Yin Black Worm into Murong Yu’s body, but what would be our motive for doing so? Do you think we would torture the disciple that we painstakingly raised?”

He was right. Why would they want Murong Yu to die if Long Chen won? It was illogical.

Everyone leaned towards the three Demon Elders. Long Chen’s explanation sounded quite ridiculous and there was evidence; it was indeed baseless.

Long Chen knew they would do that, so he laughed and said, “I assume everyone here isn’t aware yet. Do all of you know how Yang Danfeng died?”

The three Demon Elders were visibly distressed when Long Chen brought that up.

But Long Chen would not stop. “When I first exited the Pyro Passageways and obtained the two stages of the Demon Seed Planting Technique, the disciples of the three Demon Elders were jealous of me because I took their rewards away. So Yang Danfeng did something to get back at me. He called my stepfather’s previous love enemy, Elder He Tian, to come and kill Dongfang Xuanxiao! He wanted to get back at me by attacking the people I loved because I won the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique!”

Long Chen stopped for a moment to let it sink in before continuing, “But Murong Yu warned me and I caught on to their plan. Thankfully, I managed to arrive in time to stop Elder He Tian, then I ended up killing Yang Danfeng, who was hiding nearby! Now do you understand why Yang Danfeng went missing? Because I killed him! Why have the Demon Elders not said anything about his death? It’s because they are afraid that their reputation will be tainted!”

The crowd couldn’t get enough of the information and shouted in shock. The Demon Elders’ reputation was going down rapidly, and everyone sneered at them. Long Chen increased the pressure. “You guys don’t know this, but I’m actually good friends with Murong Yu. That’s why the three Demon Elders put the Yin Black Worm inside her. If she failed to kill me, she would be killed instead. But they never thought I could defeat the Ninth River Stage Murong Yu!”

Now everyone knew why the three Demon Elders would do such a thing. It was clear that they wanted to kill Long Chen. If it was all a lie, it wouldn’t have been so logical. They would have no choice but to admit that Long Chen had a vivid imagination if everything was a lie.

Everyone was silent once Long Chen finished his explanation, and they all looked at the three Demon Elders; even the other elders were staring at them. They had always seen the three Demon Elders as fair and hard-working individuals who had sacrificed a lot for the Heavenly Demon Palace.

But they had tortured their disciple to reach their goals.

The reputation of the three Demon Elders sank even lower.

The Demon Elders didn’t know what to do. Both the Second and Third Demon Elders were speechless after getting exposed by Long Chen. Only the First Demon Elder was calm as he looked at Long Chen. “Long Chen, your imagination is very vivid. Your story definitely doesn’t have any holes and I’m impressed. But still, you are young and you cannot make a perfect lie.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I want to ask a question. Since you know that the Yin Black Worm is controlled by an ancient curse, how did you save Murong Yu if she was getting attacked by it? Do you also cultivate poisonous insects?”

Long Chen had forgotten about this detail. The First Demon Elder was no pushover; he had toppled over Long Chen’s accusation with just a single question because Long Chen could never tell anyone about Ling Xi. It was his biggest secret!

“I have my own ways. Everyone has their secrets, so I don’t think you can call me a liar just because I don’t want to disclose it, right?”

“Justice is in everyone’s hearts! I know everyone here will trust their judgment whether you are lying or not. Xiaoyu, come with us!” The First Demon Elder finally managed to turn the tables and immediately pressured Murong Yu. They were ill-prepared to face the raging Long Chen today.
