Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1417 - 1417: Suspicions

Without wasting a single second, Long Chen sliced the head of the man once again, shattering another barrier that the man had carved.

After killing the man, he waited for the man to return again, but he didn't.

"Looks like you only had two. What a disappointment," Long Chen said, shaking his hand. "This was certainly fun. It would've been more fun if he had more.'

He sent his Sword back into his ancient time before walking back to Zhu Chang.

"I don't think he's coming back to disturb us. We can continue," he told Zhu Chang.

Zhu Chang just nodded his head, still looking at the dead man. "You certainly surprised me there. You're pretty good."

"Maybe you actually are as strong as the Heavenly General," he added. Seeing Long Chen deal with the man with such ease, Zhu Chang was starting to ease up to the idea of Long Chen's strength.

"Where were you taking me? Let's continue."

"Ah, right. Follow me."

Zhu Chang shook his head and got back to the main topic.

He walked back to the center of the arena amidst the watchful eyes of the people who were stunned at the strength of Long Chen. It was their first time actually seeing a Demon, and they were slightly overwhelmed to know how strong a demon could be.

They were all starting to wonder why Long Chen was brought to such a precious place by Zhu Chang. He was a Demon, after all.

Unfortunately, no one dared to ask the question after seeing Long Chen's strength. Moreover, it wasn't as if they owned this place themselves.

The only people who could question these actions were members of Zhu Clan's Direct bloodline.

There were some people like that here as well, but even they had some reservations about questioning the next heir of the clan about his actions, especially since he said he came here after the permission of his father.

Zhu Chang reached the center of the Arena and stopped.

Seeing him stop there, everyone understood what he wanted to do. The Zhu Clan youngsters finally couldn't stop anymore. They ran to Zhu Chang.

"Senior Brother, don't tell me you are taking a Demon to that place! I don't think the Patriarch would have allowed it!"

"Hmm? Zhu Chi? So you were here as well. I didn't see you in the crowd. Anyways, you're absolutely right. I am going there with them. Don't worry though. Father asked me to do this. You can relax," Zhu Chang smiled as he answered.

Even he knew that he was stretching the permissions a bit too far since he was told to bring Long Chen to the Plum Blossom Mountain to show this inheritance site, not for Zhu Chang to take Long Chen to the true core.

However, since he hadn't explicitly denied going there, Zhu Chang had an excuse to give when his father asked, saying that he had misunderstood.

"I don't think the Patriarch would do such a thing. Are you sure?"

"You think I would disobey my father on such an important thing? If you doubt me, you can go back and ask father personally. I don't mind," Zhu Chang replied, laughing. "Now step aside and let me do my thing."

Zhu Chang used his beastly energy to make a small knife. He used the knife to slice his finger a little, letting a blood droplet fall on the ground.

The blood was absorbed by the ground. The ground started vibrating, and a small formation appeared on the ground, which was three meters wide.

"Step on it before it disappears. I'm not using more blood," Zhu Chang reminded Long Chen before stepping on the formation.

Long Chen and Xun also stepped on it. A blinding light flashed momentarily before disappearing with Zhu Chang, Long Chen, and Xun.

"So he actually took a demon there. You think he was telling the truth about having the permission from the Patriarch?" Another Zhu Clan never asked Zhu Chi.

"I'm not sure. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. But I certainly have a feeling that he was bluffing. I think we should call his bluff in that case. It's better to be Wary than to be ignorant," Zhu Chi said.

"Qin, you go there. I want you to talk to Patriarch and confirm this. You understand?" he asks, looking at a dark-haired boy standing in the back.

"I will go back and make sure." The Dark Haired boy nodded as he turned around and left.

He swiftly started flying down the mountain to get back to the carriage.

"What should we do in the meantime?" Another Zhu Clan member asked Zhu Chi.

"We will follow him. Let's see what he's up to," Zhu Chi said.

"You think we are ready?"

"We are as ready as we can be," Zhu Chi said. "Let's just go in."

He also brought a knife and slightly sliced his hand, letting a blood droplet fall.

The formation appeared again. The two of them stepped inside the formation and disappeared.

...

Long Chen and Zhu Chang appeared in what appeared like a tomb underground. There was only a hallway before them, which went as far as their eyes could see.

"Where are we?" Long Chen asked.

"It's the most important place on the Plum Blossom Mountain. Anyone from the Black Tortoise species can open the pathway to this place just by using their blood, as long as their Bloodline is pure," Zhu Chang explained.

"Moreover, according to their bloodline, the people who come here find themselves in different parts of the Tomb," he further added.

"Last time I came to visit this place as well. Unfortunately, the incident happened before I could get in. And I was banned forever. It's like I'm given a second chance," Zhu Chang said, laughing. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

"Father is really going to be angry though," he further added, laughing. "Hopefully, the others bought my bluff."

"So this place is a Tomb? Whose tomb?" Xun asked. "Is there an inheritance here as well?"

"It's the Tomb of the first Godly Beast King of the Black Tortoise Clan. As for inheritance... I don't know. So far, no person has been able to find anything here."

"This place is more like a challenging maze. I don't really care about any inheritance, but going through the challenges to see how far you can go is always fun. Won't you agree?"

"So you came here for challenges?" Long Chen asked. "I should've expected that much."

"Challenges are the fun part, but who knows, we might really find what the First Ancestor left behind.. It's said that he was the most glorious Godly Beast King of his time."
