Chapter 350 - Martial Library

Long Chen and Zhao Qingyun had not walked for long before they arrived at a pagoda-type building. The pagoda had seven floors and was both grand and regal. It was far from the impression of “demons” that normal people had. Long Chen even thought that the Heavenly Demon Palace should have been called the Heavenly Deity Palace because that would have been more accurate.

From far away, he saw many guards standing around the Martial Library. More than ten of them, who were leaders of the guards, were around the Seventh River Stage and could be considered stronger members of the Heavenly Demon Palace. The Martial Library was a sacred place for cultivation here.

Long Chen and Zhao Qingyun stood before the sacred pagoda.

“The Martial Library stores tens of thousands of martial techniques from the Yellow-tier up to the Heaven-tier. Defense techniques, attack techniques, body techniques, healing techniques, body tempering techniques can all be found here. They have been passed down in the Heavenly Demon Palace for over a thousand years, and I’ve read through most of them. I’ve got more experience in cultivating combat techniques, so if you don’t understand, you can ask me,” Zhao Qingyun said with a bit of pride in his tone.

Tens of thousands of combat techniques spanning over many levels and categories. It was clear that the Heavenly Demon Palace possessed great wealth; they even had Heaven-tier techniques at the very top of the Martial Library.

“The security around the Martial Library is extremely strict. In fact, the three Demon Elders’ residences are all less than five hundred meters from here, so the slightest commotion here will cause them to show up immediately. The three Demon Elders are indeed annoying sometimes, but it is undeniable that they have contributed greatly to the Heavenly Demon Palace,” Zhao Qingyun explained.

As he spoke, the bowing guards moved aside to let him take Long Chen up. Traceless Demon Shadow was located on the seventh floor.

Long Chen grew excited. He was about to receive a Heaven-tier combat technique.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from behind. Long Chen and Zhao Qingyun turned around and saw that the elders were approaching, along with two people leading in front. One of them was the short but fierce Third Demon Elder, along with a muscular teenager who was standing respectfully behind him.

This teenager was more than two meters tall and was covered in solid muscles and tan skin. There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes; he gave Long Chen the same feeling as the Heavenly Wolf Gang. They were all brutish, violent people.

In terms of looks, the Third Demon Elder looked comical standing in front of the muscular young man.

Based on the teenager’s aura, Long Chen guessed his identity. The two most powerful disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace were at the Eighth River Stage, both under the First and Second Demon Elders. The Third Demon Elder’s most powerful disciple’s name was Yang Jun, and he was at the peak of the Seventh River Stage, apparently about to break through to the Eighth River Stage some time soon. He had also cultivated many advanced Earth-tier combat techniques, so he was ranked third among all the young disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace. He was the Third Demon Elder’s favorite disciple.

The strong and vicious teenager was Yang Jun.

But what did Zhao Qingyun going to the Martial Library have to do with them?

The Third Demon Elder knew that there was no chance Traceless Demon Shadow would be given to Long Chen, which was why he had made a joke. However, to his shock, he was right.

“You are right. I came here today because I have decided to let Long Chen cultivate Traceless Demon Shadow. As for Yang Jun, come again when you have attained the Eighth River Stage.” Zhao Qingyun’s words rang across the group.

He had always been a straightforward person. After making this direct statement, he was not afraid of attracting more problems.

The crowd fell silent. Everyone stared at Long Chen in shock. After a long time, they finally believed that they had not made a mistake.

“Him? Are you kidding me? He’s a fake! Does he even know what a Heaven-tier combat technique is?”

“Palace Lord, your decision has made my heart turn cold! Are you really going to show blatant favoritism?”

Words of disagreement arose from the group instantly, and each statement was worse than the last. Forget about Zhao Qingyun—even Long Chen’s brows were deeply furrowed after he heard them.

Everyone was in disbelief, especially the Third Demon Elder and Yang Jun. Yang Jun did not say anything. All he did was glare venomously at Long Chen with killing intent in his eyes. Although the Third Demon Elder was famous for his short temper, how could Yang Jun swallow this injustice too?

“Palace Lord, did I hear you right? Are you saying that a prodigy like Yang Jun is less deserving of receiving the Traceless Demon Shadow scripture than a nameless brat from God-knows-where? I refuse to believe it. Is this really coming from the Heavenly Demon Palace’s Palace Lord? Was this decision made solely because he is your direct disciple? Palace Lord, while it is undeniable that your strength allows you to hold an indisputable position as our leader, this does not mean that you can do whatever you want and ignore our ancestors’ teachings! Your decision does not only disappoint me, it will also disappoint Yang Jun, who is a hardworking child, and the tens of thousands of Heavenly Demon Palace disciples!”

Although the Third Demon Elder used ugly words, it was what everyone was thinking.

Seeing that Zhao Qingyun was silent, the Third Demon Elder continued, “I have indeed overstepped, but I’m sure everyone here thinks the same. Palace Lord, if you think I am wrong, kill me! And I will die without regret!”

“Yes, Palace Lord. Although the Third Demon Elder’s words were a little emotional, he is correct! We are all moved by his words too! We hope you will re-think your decision regarding Traceless Demon Shadow!”

“Please, Palace Lord!”

The large group of people knelt before Zhao Qingyun. Only Yang Jun and the Third Demon Elder did not.

“Everyone, get up and we’ll talk,” said Zhao Qingyun in exasperation after a moment of hesitation.
