Chapter 927

Within the Stone tribe’s ancestral land, Long Chen was sitting alone beside a small lake . He was as still as the motionless water .

It had already been a month since the battle, and Long Chen had fully recovered . He had taken a great risk in summoning the Green Dragon Battle Armor last time, and although he had succeeded, it had been extremely damaging to his body .

The green dragon essence blood had been so domineering that it had almost broken his meridians . Fortunately, the Flame Devil’s corpse had been thrown into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce and devoured by the black soul, giving him enough life energy to recover .

Guo Ran and the others fully recovered in less than three days . After refining the rank four Heavenly Dao Fruits Long Chen had given them, they had all become rank four Celestials .

The high-spirited Guo Ran had just been about to lead everyone to look for Xue You, Ji Changkong, and the others as revenge for Little Snow .

But Long Chen had stopped him . There was no meaning behind such an action . As long as they weren’t stupid, they would have hidden themselves . Trying to find someone who was hiding in a place as large as the Immemorial Path was no different than searching for a needle in an ocean . It was just a waste of time .

Although Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had accompanied him while healing, Long Chen hadn’t returned to his lively self . He gradually became a person who liked to be silent .

Little Snow’s death made him feel like a boulder was crus.h.i.+ng his heart . It was hard for him to breathe .

He gently rubbed the scarlet crystal core in his hand . That was Little Snow’s crystal core . His memories and soul were sealed within it .

Although he knew that if he could find a suitable housepet, he could erase that housepet’s soul and allow Little Snow to be reborn, that didn’t change the fact that Little Snow had died . Last time, it was Ye Zhiqiu and Lu Fang-er who had died . Ye Zhiqiu had been lucky, and a powerful expert had brought her away . Long Chen had sensed her aura, so he knew she had been reborn and was more powerful than ever .

But Lu Fang-er was gone forever . Meng Qi hadn’t been able to bear burying her, and she had instead used a crystal coffin to keep her body by her side forever .

Legend said that if a corpse wasn’t buried in the ground, its soul wouldn’t enter the cycle of reincarnation . Then the soul would forever guard the person it was with .

When Meng Qi thought no one was around, she would occasionally look at her dead sister and silently weep . Long Chen had noticed her several times like that, but he had never disturbed her .

Everyone had their own weak spots . Everyone had times when they were helpless . But people could only do their best to hide their weaknesses and instead expose their sharp fangs as they fought against fate .

Ye Zhiqiu had been lucky . Little Snow had also been lucky that the Eastern Wasteland Bell was present . But something like luck wasn’t reliable . Long Chen wasn’t someone who could hope to live off luck forever .

“Perhaps what is required is another reign of terror . Otherwise, some people will never learn their lesson and will constantly try to scheme against me behind my back,” said Long Chen as he gently stroked Little Snow’s crystal core .

The Flame Devil had been killed . Six of the eight peak experts had been killed . But Long Chen was still filled with anger and sullenness . He just didn’t know who his hate was targeted towards . He felt like he was a bloodthirsty devil king who had constantly been suppressing his own urge for slaughter . But now, he was feeling like he couldn’t suppress it any longer . He had to release his true self .

“Senior, no matter how strong the enemies I encounter, you can still help me handle them, correct?” asked Long Chen .

“Of course . ” The Eastern Wasteland Bell’s response was extremely direct .

“Then good . Next time, I’ll let my name resound throughout the entire Martial Heaven Continent . Whether it’s a glorious name or an infamous name, I will make sure it becomes known through slaughter . I’ll kill until those people scheming against me are finally afraid and will tremble upon hearing the name Long Chen . ” He continued to stroke Little Snow’s crystal core gently, but his voice was full of killing intent .

“I know that persuading you is useless, but I’ll just warn you one more time . Take it easy!” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell a bit helplessly . To it, Long Chen was becoming more and more terrifying . Sometimes he was frighteningly calm, sometimes he was frighteningly crazy .

Furthermore, he had found that Long Chen was a determined person . What he had decided, no one could change .

“Long Chen…”

Suddenly, a soft voice rang out . Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er walked over . They looked like two fairies who had walked out of a painting .

They sat beside him, holding his arms . They were full of worry, as they had never seen Long Chen in such a slump . Little Snow’s death had been a huge blow to him .

“Sorry, I’ve made you worry . ” Long Chen felt a bit guilty . Little Snow’s death had been a constant weight on his mind, and this entire time, he hadn’t been able to escape his sullen mood .

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had done their best to cheer him up during this time . In fact, they had even slept in the same bed with him, subtly indicating that they would have been willing to go through with certain acts . However, in his pain and guilt, Long Chen hadn’t been interested .
