Chapter 244 - The Return of Royalty
“I’m guessing that the Heavenly River Pills and that colorful ray came out of this crack. But the crack isn’t doing anything now.” As Long Chen spoke, he took out his Azure Dragon Halberd. It contained a lot of energy and was made of an extraordinarily sharp material.
Clang! Long Chen stabbed it into the crack. The ground was indeed as hard as steel, so despite his great strength, the halberd only penetrated about centimeters into the ground.
“A crack?” Mo Xiaolang leaned over.
“Based on the sound, there should be a hard layer of soil at least a hundred meters thick. I don’t think we will get anything if I just dig using the Azure Dragon Halberd. But I don’t know if that strange phenomenon will happen again. Let’s wait here for a while and see if we get anything else,” said Long Chen.
“Alright.” Mo Xiaolang nodded.
They had initially decided to hurry off after taking the pills, but there might be more Heavenly River Pills. Even though it was a little dangerous, the duo decided to stay.
After about an hour, Mo Xiaolang suddenly exclaimed in a low voice and Long Chen hurried over. “What happened?”
“That crack! It has completely disappeared!” said Mo Xiaolang .
Long Chen examined the ground closely and indeed, it had disappeared. This meant that the surface of the ground was moving with time.
“Should we leave?” asked Mo Xiaolang.
“We’ll wait a little longer,” Long Chen responded after some thought.
They stayed for a while longer. At that point, Long Chen was prepared to leave. The Heavenly River Pills were already a great surprise.
However, another colorful ray appeared in the sky and disappeared in a second.
That ray had appeared in another spot, though it was still in the Burning Heaven Mountain Range. They looked at each other and accelerated, rushing towards its source. This time, they arrived much quicker than before and found three glowing Heavenly River Pills.
They approached, took the pills, and then rushed to a crack. The crack was next to the pills, and when Long Chen first saw it, it was the width of a palm. When he looked down into it, it was pitch-black and he could not see anything.
However, the crack was narrowing at a rate detectable by the naked eye. It was decelerating though, and when it was a finger’s width wide, he could no longer visibly see the ground moving.
The three pills were all they got from it.
“Big Brother, do you think there are more Heavenly River Pills in the crack?” Mo Xiaolang asked.
“Xiaolang, Long Chen, you’re finally back! The Patriarchs have come here so many times in the past few days. I think they’re so worried, their mustaches have curled upwards!” said Yin Mengyao with a small smile.
“Sister Mengyao, any recent updates on Yuanling City?” asked Long Chen after sitting in a pavilion.
“This morning, the old Patriarch and a few elders, along with some outstanding disciples, went to welcome the Ninth Prince. The rest of them will return after escorting the Ninth Prince to the Jade Royal Palace. I heard there will be a grand feast tonight, and the Azure Dragon Patriarch said to go meet him immediately after you arrive. You guys must join this feast.”
“Jade Royal Palace?” Neither of them knew where that was.
“It is a palace that the three main factions of Yuanling City contributed resources to build a month ago. It was specifically built for the Ninth Prince. I hear that there’s divine jade and precious treasures everywhere inside, much grander than the Lingwu family’s buildings. The three factions have spent a lot of resources just to please the Ninth Prince. But I hear that the Ninth Prince really likes the palace and even promised to stay there often.”
The Ninth Prince’s visit to Yuanling City would be one month long at most, yet the three main factions had built a palace just for him. This meant that despite Yuanling City being considerably far from the Biyang Imperial Capital, they were still afraid of the royal family.
It looks like the royal family is quite scary. It’ll be difficult to take revenge for Xiaolang, thought Long Chen.
“It’ll be evening soon. You two should go see the Azure Dragon Patriarch. Your disappearance made him very anxious, so his mood is very unstable,” said Yin Mengyao worriedly.
Long Chen smirked to himself. That old geezer definitely didn’t know that his daughter had sent people to assassinate Long Chen. If she had succeeded, Long Chen would never have returned and Mo Xiaolang would probably have slaughtered his way back here.
“Xiaolang, let’s go. Let’s see how powerful the Ninth Prince is. He must have three heads and six arms if he can make the three factions bend their knees like they saw their fathers,” Long Chen mused.
“Long Chen, be careful with your words in front of them.” Yin Mengyao furrowed her brows.
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Then they both went to the Eastern Azure Dragon family. Long Chen didn’t go to the main administrative area, the Xuanfeng Pavilion, but rather went straight to the Xuanyu Pavilion. It was completely empty. The ancient ruins were about to be opened, so the other youths had stopped cultivating.
Here, Long Chen sensed Dongfang Xuanyu’s aura. When they stepped in, Dongfang Xuanyu rushed out. Her face changed when she saw Long Chen.
“Why are you scared? Unless ... you did something that made you feel guilty?” Long Chen said darkly, taking a few steps forward.
“What do you mean by that?” Dongfang Xuanyu replied. She had secretly investigated and learned of Chu Tianxiong and Jin Luan’s deaths. She also knew that Long Chen had snatched away the Blazing Thunder Crystal Soul. In the past, she was no match for him, but now she was helpless.
However, this was the Lingwu family, so she had people protecting her. That was why she boldly refused to admit it.
“Don’t you dare act dumb in front of me, Dongfang Xuanyu! I showed you mercy once, yet you tried to kill me. This is your fault! I am not killing you now because I have more important things to do, but don’t you let me get a chance, because I’ll make you regret being born.”
Then Long Chen left.
Dongfang Xuanyu trembled greatly, feeling as if she had fallen into an icy pool.
