Chapter 357 - Murong Yu
The Nine Devils Ancestral Fire had destroyed Yang Bing’s lineage.
Yang Bing screamed and fell from the cliff, twitching all over. In reality, Xiaolang knew how far he could go and only caused Yang Bing to lose one organ. That was the only injury he had received.
Everyone surrounded him, looking at each other in panic.
“Young Master Bing’s older brother is nearby! We need to tell him quickly!” When one of the teenagers saw that Xiaolang had not left, but rather found another spot to rest, he quickly ran off. They soon found Yang Jun.
At this time, Long Chen had already bought the Soul Nourishing Seeds and was running out after hearing the commotion.
His gaze met Yang Jun’s cold eyes once more.
“What’s going on?” Long Chen asked.
Xiaolang nodded pointedly so Long Chen’s gaze was directed towards the unconscious Yang Bing. Following everyone’s eyes, he soon saw Yang Bing’s smooth crotch.
“You did that?” Long Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought he was the only one who would do something like that.
Xiaolang nodded in exasperation.
“Xiaolang said that the brat tried to pee on him. He only wanted to scare him, but he did not manage to hold back in time ...” Ling Xi giggled.
“You did well. I would have done the same,” Long Chen said with a grin. He did not blame Xiaolang.
This statement was actually meant for Yang Jun to hear.
When he said that, Yang Jun’s face turned even greener. He took a few steps forward, and a heavy aura pressed on Long Chen.
“Long Chen, what did you just say? If you don’t offer any explanation for what happened today, don’t think you’ll get to leave alive.”
“Are you trying to scare me?” Long Chen asked nonchalantly. “Is there a need for me to explain? It’s obvious, and I’m sure many people saw it. This brat on the ground tried to pee on Xiaolang but unexpectedly ended up losing an important part of his body. It's purely his own fault. He was the one looking for trouble.”
Long Chen’s nonchalance triggered Yang Jun’s temper.
They would meet for a duel in a couple of weeks, but Yang Jun was already unable to hold himself back.
“If that’s the case, give me the animal,” Yang Jun demanded through gritted teeth.
“You must be dreaming! Xiaolang is my brother! Would I hand my brother over to you?” Long Chen smiled.
“Brother? Long Chen, if you call an animal your brother, doesn’t that make you an animal too?” Yang Jun smirked darkly. Everyone erupted into laughter. He had finally managed to beat Long Chen with words. At least he had a small win here.
However, Long Chen was not upset at all. He glanced at Yang Bing on the ground and said, “It doesn’t matter if he’s an animal; at least my brother still has his knob! Not like someone’s brother, who doesn’t even have his ... What kind of brother is that? I think ‘sister’ is more fitting. How lovely.”
“Long Chen! You!” Even ten Yang Juns could not beat Long Chen at banter. Yang Jun was furious, and his eyes almost shot our flames. Everyone watched with great interest.
“Remember. There are still fifteen days left till the day we agreed on. It doesn’t matter how much you hate me. We’ll meet in fifteen days. This is not a good time,” Long Chen reminded him.
In reality, as the direct disciple of the Heavenly Demon Lord, Long Chen was ranked higher than Yang Jun. Also, Long Chen had already shown them what he was capable of, winning over the Heavenly Demon Lord. If Yang Jun attacked now and injured Long Chen, it would definitely anger Zhao Qingyun.
It was not worth it.
That was why Yang Jun could only swallow his anger. Even though his younger brother was no longer a man, he had to hold himself back. In fifteen days, all would be settled.
“Alright. You said it. In fifteen days, I will resolve today’s grudge. Long Chen, remember this: I will not hold back. Fists and feet do not have eyes in battle. If I ‘accidentally’ kill you, you can’t blame me for it.”
“You can brag all you want if you’re that strong,” said Long Chen, pursing his lips.
He had to defeat Yang Jun, but it was more important that he completed the cultivation of Traceless Demon Shadow. He had not figured the technique out yet, so he was feeling some pressure.
Fifteen days. Is it really enough? At this point, even he had the same question.
Once Yang Jun left with Yang Bing, everyone else dispersed. However, everyone was looking forward to their duel, seeing as the grudge between them had worsened.
Most of them wanted to see Long Chen make a fool out of himself. Yang Jun was ranked third among the younger disciples after all. His position had never been challenged, which was already a great feat.
How was it possible for anyone to cultivate a Heaven-tier technique in twenty days? They guessed that Long Chen could not even understand the secret scripture at this point.
***
During the argument between Yang Jun and Long Chen, a boy and a girl were standing not far away, watching the commotion.
Both of them were under twenty years old, but it was clear that they had extraordinary achievements.
The boy was wearing green robes. He had a handsome but expressionless face, as well as a tall, lean figure like a flagpole. He had a healthy skin tone, the color of grains, shapely eyebrows, a tall nose, and tightly pursed thin lips. His dark, ink-green eyes looked as deep as the abyss.
The girl next to him was wearing a black chiffon dress. She had a delicate figure, and in parts where her skin was shown, it was shockingly fair. Her face was covered in a black chiffon veil, but based on the shape, she was definitely gorgeous.
If Long Chen saw her, he would think that she looked familiar.
“Sister Yu, do you think this is the real Long Chen?” the boy asked softly.
“I’ve seen him before. He is Long Chen,” she replied in a canary-like voice.
“Oh? Why haven’t I heard you mention him?” The boy was surprised.
“Do I have to tell you everything that happens to me?” The girl glanced coldly at him, then she said, “I’m going back to cultivate. Goodbye.”
Then she left without even looking back.
The boy’s gaze grew lustful as he stared at her curves.
Playing hard to get? You’ll be lying under me one day! Murong Yu, is there a woman in this world that I, Yang Danfeng, cannot have?

Long Chen led Wang Xing back to the Azure Cloud Residence, then he prepared to return to Demon Emperor Mountain’s peak to continue cultivating Traceless Demon Shadow. He felt a little pressured after today’s events.
“Brother Chen, don’t worry. There’s still a lot of time left. Take your time. The more anxious you are, the more distracted you’ll be. It’s better if you quiet your heart down,” Ling Xi said delicately.
“You’re right.” Long Chen had been focused on quietly cultivating for the past few days. Although today’s events had given him more pressure, he could quickly regulate his emotions and continue to immerse himself into the world of Traceless Demon Shadow.
“There’s a girl waiting for you out front,” Ling Xi said unhappily.
Long Chen froze. He activated the Soul Swallowing Gaze, and his surroundings slowly changed. Indeed, he saw a girl with a black veil standing on the path where he usually passed through. She was clearly waiting for him.
Eighth River Stage. She must be one of the top two prodigies of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Since it’s a girl, she’s likely Murong Yu. Long Chen slowly thought about it. Very soon, he arrived in front of her. Murong Yu was tall and radiated a cold elegance similar to Yin Mengyao. However, she did not show her face.
When he approached, he realized that he had actually met Murong Yu before. Right after he had killed the six commanders, Murong Yu was the one who had given him advanced Earth-tier spiritual medicine so he could recover. She was also the one who had told him about the dwarves.
At the time, Long Chen guessed that based on her strength, she had to be from a major faction like the Heavenly Demon Palace. He had not expected to be right.
She looked up and asked in a cold voice, “Long Chen, you remember me, right?”
“You showed me kindness. Of course I remember you.” Murong Yu was not an enemy to him.
She nodded, then looked around him. “Have you failed? That beautiful girl, where did she go?”
She knew about his story, so she also cared about where Ling Xi had gone. Even she had to admit that she was not as beautiful as Ling Xi, and there were not many girls in the world who were.
Murong Yu was only asking out of concern, so Long Chen replied, “Thank you for your concern. I have not failed. All I can say is that she’s in a safe place now. And she’s very happy.”
“That’s good. She’s such a pretty girl, even I could not stand to see harm come to her.” Murong Yu nodded, then she looked at him. “I’m guessing that you came to the Heavenly Demon Palace for the Three Great Secret Scriptures and the Demon Emperor Sword, then plan to return to the Biyang Imperial Capital to take your revenge. Am I right?”
Long Chen nodded. The girl was smart, and he did not need to hide his intentions.
“If that is the case, then we are competitors. I now have one more rival! I have already mastered Traceless Demon Shadow and even received the first stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique. The fight for the Demon Emperor Sword will likely be coming soon. We’ll see what happens.” Murong Yu did not mince her words, but her tone was friendly. It sounded like she was very excited to have one more rival.
