Chapter 876 - Nine Layered Seal

As they spoke, one of their robes floated in the air to reveal their purple scales.

The demon who spoke had a familiar voice that everyone recognized. But where had he come from?

“I am Zi Xue. You should know me by now.” He laughed, and a massive illusion appeared behind him. It was a massive Purple Jiao, but the head was incomparably large!

Almost everyone here knew about the Purple-blooded Jiao. It was the same one who had told them that he was the Black Emperor’s mount!

Everyone realized that they had been tricked!

“You bunch of idiots actually thought that I was a mount for the Black Emperor? The Five Emperors are our enemies, how could I serve him? Idiots.”

While he was speaking, a cold aura enveloped the area. Everyone was so surprised and afraid that they dared not utter a word. the Long-Bearded Guest, who had obtained the Five Emperors’ treasure, dared not move at all. He was already sweating bullets and regretting taking the treasure.

It was clear that the demons were here for it!

“Zi Xue, you talk too much. Let me handle it!”

Tian Kun, the man from the wolf tribe, stepped forward and asked, “Who has the treasure?”

Everyone, including Long Chen, looked at the Long-Bearded Guest. It was clear that he was the one who had taken it, and he dared not deny it. He quickly said, “Dear experts from the demon race, I will willingly give you the treasure ... Ack!”

Everyone was shocked when they heard him shout in pain. They all took a step back when they saw that Tian Kun had punched through the Long-Bearded Guest’s chest with his claws and destroyed his heart in an instant.

He then took the storage ring on the Long-Bearded Guest’s finger and tossed the corpse aside. Even in death, the Long-Bearded Guest’s eyes were still wide with shock.

Everyone was intimidated by the cruelty of the demon race. They all stepped back because they knew that the demon race was making an example out of the Long-Bearded Guest. If they didn’t comply, they would die too. The demon race weren’t very kind to begin with.

Tian Kun took out the treasure chest, and the five other demons surrounded him.

“Yes, this is it! I can’t believe that those five ghosts hid it so well and even restricted us from obtaining it. We never would’ve been able to get it without their help.”

“We finally got it after all these years.”

“Let me see if that thing is inside.”

They were looking at the chest with anticipation and ignored the three thousand people below them.

They tried opening the chest, but they were barred by the seal.

“It’s a Nine Layer Seal! Those damned bastards!”

All six demons became angry.

“Shit. To think they used the Nine Layer Seal! Can we open it?”

“I can’t. Can anyone else? If not, we might need to find someone to help us open it. We cannot spread word about us obtaining the treasure right now. Once someone opens up the seal, we can just kill that person.”

“I suppose that’s the only thing we can do.”

The six demons decided to leave after they discussed amongst themselves.

Thankfully, they did nothing else.

Long Chen looked at them. Everything had been out of his control so far. Even though he had become stronger, he couldn’t defeat the six demons.

“Long Chen, are you going to let them take it?” Bai Lan whispered.

“We can’t fight them, so I have no choice.”

Just then, two of the demons floated down from the sky. One was Tian Kun, the man from the wolf tribe, and the other was skinny like a snake. He was none other than Xuan Feng from the Northern Snake Tribe.

“Where are Long Chen and Bai Lan?” both of them said at the same time.

Both Long Chen and Bai Lan were taken by surprise. How did they know them?

Long Chen and Bai Lan had no choice but to step forward. They remained calm as they approached the demons.

“Are you Bai Lan and Long Chen?” Tian Kun observed them while Xuan Feng waved his arm. Two figures flew over from the horizon. Long Chen was shocked to find that they were Xiaolang and Suyan!

Mo Xiaolang appeared to be fine, but Suyan was crying out of fear. She looked so pitiful. Both Long Chen and Bai Lan felt their hearts twitch. Mo Xiaolang was one of Long Chen’s closest friends, so he would fight to the death if something happened to him.

Xiaolang was as important to him as Ling Xi, while Suyan was like a sister to him.

Thankfully, the demons had not harmed either of them.

“Yan’er!” Bai Lan’s eyes were red. If Long Chen weren’t holding him back, he would’ve attacked the demons. It was indeed bad news for Suyan to fall into their hands.

The demon called Xuan Feng looked at Bai Lan. “Don’t worry, I am giving your daughter the opportunity of a lifetime! To think that her body has the rare Immortal body constitution. It would be a waste to leave something so precious in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, so I will take her back to my tribe. There, she will become our Saintess. As her father, you should be proud that she will become the Saintess of the Northern Snake Tribe. Even I will have to bow down to her in the future.”

Bai Lan and Long Chen were utterly surprised.

“Little Cat, what’s the Immortal body constitution?”

Little Cat explained seriously, “It’s a type of body constitution that grants the wielder a physical body that will never rot away. She shouldn’t have it, but I think maybe your dragon blood changed her body completely from the inside out since she consumed a lot of it. I think her body constitution quite literally upgraded to the Immortal body constitution. Don’t be confused. You have the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon, so this is natural.”

Long Chen understood what was happening now.

He knew he had done the right thing in saving Yan’er. If not, she would’ve been dead a long time ago.

Sometimes, life would find a twisted way to continue on.

Bai Lan was indignant, but Xuan Feng said, “Bai Lan, you are not an idiot. I am giving your daughter a grand future and a chance to become stronger. You should be proud of her.”

Bai Lan knew that it was indeed good for Suyan, but how could he let his daughter live with the demon race? Suyan was still young and timid! He couldn’t let her live so far away all by herself.

He felt his heart aching.

“Bai Lan ...” Long Chen patted his shoulder. “There’s nothing we can do. Let’s just hope that this is good news for Yan’er.”

Long Chen knew that Bai Lan valued his daughters more than his own life, but there was nothing he could do against absolute power.

“Father ...” Suyan started crying in the air.

Mo Xiaolang stood beside her and consoled her. He was also communicating with Long Chen using his gaze.

Xuan Feng said, “I will give you fifteen minutes to say goodbye. Afterwards, we will send all of you back to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, but there’s one more person that has to stay behind.”

He then gestured at Tian Kun.

Tian Kun looked at Long Chen and asked, “I’ve heard from your brother. You wish to go to the Three Royal Territory?”

“Xiaolang?” Long Chen assumed that Xiaolang had told them that.

Tian Kun had no ill intentions for Long Chen so he smiled and said, “I’ve heard about you from Xiaolang. You’ve indeed helped him grow a lot during his journey. I suppose you’ve done a good deed for us, the Wolf Tribe. Even though I’m not certain if he’s a Sun Devouring Wolf, I do know that someone as talented as him will reach a very high rank in our tribe. He will be given a lot of resources to cultivate, and will become the strongest person in our tribe.”

Long Chen had learned a lot from Tian Kun’s words, and he smiled helplessly. Xiaolang was helpless too.

It was clear that the six demons knew about Xiaolang’s talent, and since he was a wolf-type demonic beast, it was natural for him to go to the Wolf Tribe. But to Long Chen and Xiaolang, this was going to be another separation for them.
