"Heavenly Oath to kill?" Zhu Chang asked.
"Yeah. It's a long story. I had received the inheritance of the previous Emperor from the Immortal World. His soul made me take the oath that I'll help him finish his revenge. So I can't leave without doing it. If I did and they died accidentally, I would be in a mess," Long Chen explained.
Zhu Chang looked towards his father.
"Sigh, fine. You can go ahead and finish your revenge, but Zhu Chang won't come with you. I don't trust him. If he left, he might run away again. So you can only go alone," Zhu Chang's father said.
"I accept." Long Chen replied.
"Here, take this talisman. It'll help you teleport to the immortal world and back after you're done," the old man added.
"According to my deal with the Heavenly Emperor, we can stay here for a little longer. However, if you don't come back within twelve hours, we'll leave. You understand?"
"I'll be back in a couple of hours. I won't even take twelve hours," Long Chen answered.
"That's better."
"But father, I should go too. I promise I won't run away."
"Nope. No way in hell am I letting you leave," the old man straightly refused his son's demand.
Long Chen felt slightly bad for Zhu Chang. Because of him, this guy was caught.
"I'm sorry for getting you caught. But maybe it won't be all that bad. I'll be back soon, and then we'll go see your home," he told Zhu Chang before turning to the Blood Dragon Emperor and Snake Monarch.
"Are you two coming?" Long Chen asked.
"I'm always coming with you. Who will protect you if I'm not there," Snake Monarch laughed as he flew closer to Long Chen.
Long Chen sent the Snake Monarch back in his storage ring before looking at Blood Dragon Emperor.
"I'm coming too. That's my home after all," Blood Dragon Emperor said.
Long Chen sent the two of them in his Inner world before using the Talisman to leave.
Using the Talisman, Long Chen appeared in the Immoral World, right in the dead center.
There were four directions he could take, and each direction led to an Emperor's palace.
He flew south instead. He had already been to the northern and Western Empire. He could teleport there anytime. For now, he needed to get where he hadn't been to before.
He also called out the Blood Dragon Emperor.
"Are we there yet?" The Blood Dragon Emperor asked.
"We are. You can get going. But keep one thing in mind. You aren't allowed to hurt the Emperors at any cost. You understand?"
"I do understand that, but are you sure? You're allowing me to leave? Didn't you want to tame me?"
The Blood Dragon Emperor was slightly surprised that Long Chen was letting him go so easily. At one point, he had even lost hope of escaping Long Chen after Zhu Chang, and Long Chen met.
"Tame you? I've lost interest. You were strong. So it was interesting to tame you. But now..." Long Chen shook his head.
"In any case, one Snake Monarch is enough. I don't need two blubbering idiots."
Long Chen left the Blood Dragon Emperor behind and continued flying like a rocket.
Before long, he reached the Southern Emperor. He had to ask for directions along the way, but he did end up reaching the Southern Royal City. From there, it was an easy thing to find the Royal Palace. All he had to do was find the tallest building in the city.
After reaching the Southern Royal Palace, he landed at the entrance.
He approached the guards. "Is the Emperor inside?"
"Yeah. May I know your purpose for coming here?" The guard asked.
"My purpose?" Long Chen smirked.
He clapped his hand. As if matching the sound of his clap, the clouds roared in the sky.
Long Chen flew back.
"Huh?" The guard looked up, stunned. The sky was perfectly clear until now, but suddenly, it was covered in dark clouds.
A massive mountain came out of the clouds and fell straight down.
Thump~
Before the guard could even make some noise, the mountain landed right above the Royal Palace, flattening it to the ground.
Long Chen remained back, observing the place. After the mountain disappeared, he checked the rubble to see if anyone was alive. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There were only the dead bodies there, and one of them belonged to the Royal Emperor who had died.
Just the weight wasn't enough to kill the Emperor, but the mountain was made from the purest of Heavenly Energy. It was the skill of a powerful Heavenly Expert which was made to kill even stronger enemies by sucking their life force. This much was nothing.
He also noticed the body of the Emperor in the rubble. The Emperor was unmoving. His face was pale as well.
Just to be sure that there were no loose ends left, Long Chen swung his sword once again.
...
Next, he went to the Eastern Empire to kill the Eastern Emperor. This time, he was slightly slower as he didn't use the mountain.
Instead, he simply barged inside the Royal Palace to kill the Eastern Emperor openly. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell everyone why he was doing it and what these scums had done to the Saint Emperor in the past.
The next stop was the Western Empire. However, this was the complicated part. Mimi had helped him in the past. But his Target was now her father. He didn't want her to see him do it.
But he was also sure that she was going to know what he would do. He had to decide on a swift plan where he could kill her father while not being seen by the culprit either.
As he appeared in the Western Royal city, he noticed his face on the posters.
"I am wanted?" he commented, smiling. "Heh, not bad. But making me famous as a thief? That's a little upsetting."
He teleported inside the room of Princess Mimi this time.
As he appeared there, he found her to be missing. She wasn't here.
He walked towards the shower room to check if someone was there.
He found the door to be unlocked. He was already sure that no one was inside. Still, he pushed the door open to check.
As he opened the door, he found Mimi inside. It wasn't empty. Mimi had just finished shower, and she was drying her hair with a towel.
"There you are," he said, attracting her attention.
