Chapter 360 - Brother Chen Appears

Many people agreed with the Third Demon Elder.

Zhao Qingyun frowned slightly. Long Chen was not here, and that was a fact. He did not know what to say, so he let them be.

“When did that little brat Long Chen become this unreliable? With his personality, even if he did not complete the technique, he wouldn’t get cold feet.” Zhao Qingyun was very confused.

“Palace Lord, I think we should call it off. Long Chen has probably taken the Traceless Demon Shadow scripture and slipped out of Demon Emperor Mountain. The Heavenly Demon Palace probably only has Two Great Secret Scriptures left!” the Third Demon Elder mocked.

“Shut your mouth!” Zhao Qingyun was already slightly angry. The rage of a Heavenly Passage Realm master was the equivalent of a storm slamming into the Third Demon Elder. The Third Demon Elder let out a grunt and stumbled a few steps backwards, almost falling on his bottom.

“Let me tell you this: I am the Heavenly Demon Lord, not you! Long Chen is a disciple I took in! You say he’s a traitor; doesn’t that mean you’re calling me blind? Third Demon Elder, you’re bold!”

Zhao Qingyun was usually mild-tempered, but the moment he raged, the whole crowd fell completely silent. They were initially prepared to cheer in support of the Third Demon Elder, but when they saw Zhao Qingyun rage, they recalled that Long Chen was his favorite disciple and realized that they had indeed crossed the line.

The Third Demon Elder was very unwilling to be suppressed by Zhao Qingyun, but with Zhao Qingyun’s status and strength, the Third Demon Elder was completely helpless.

“Old Three, why are you so impatient? Why don’t we wait two more hours? After that, you won’t need to do anything. The Palace Lord will know how to deal with it.” The First Demon Elder’s hoarse voice woke the Third Demon Elder up. He nodded solemnly.

Standing behind the First Demon Elder was his number one disciple, Yang Danfeng, at the Eighth River Stage. And standing behind the Second Demon Elder was also her disciple, Murong Yu at the Eighth River Stage.

Murong Yu said gently, “I think he will come. I told him the trick to cultivate the technique. Then again, he wouldn’t succeed even if he had forty days to practice. Twenty days is just too short. However, based on his personality, I don’t think he ran with the scriptures. If he wasn’t held up by something else, he will definitely come.”

Murong Yu’s words stunned the people around her. They all gave her strange looks, especially Yang Danfeng, who did not understand why she had spoken up.

“Xiao Yu, do you know Long Chen? And you two have an amicable relationship?” the Second Demon Elder asked sternly.

Murong Yu nodded and told her about the time they had met at the misty valley.

“All I saw is that he works very hard and is a man who can shoulder responsibility. He seemed like a good person, which is why I helped him,” said Murong Yu, slightly embarrassed.

“Nonsense!” the Second Demon Elder snapped, suppressing her voice.

Murong Yu was stunned.

Yang Danfeng smiled and returned to stand behind the First Demon Elder without another word. This small conflict was just a minor interruption in comparison to the whole event.

One more hour passed. The crowd had completely lost their patience, and even Zhao Qingyun could no longer suppress their resentment. If he continued to force everyone to remain, as a Palace Lord, his reputation would be the worst it had ever been.

“Father-in-law, perhaps Chen’er really isn’t coming. Maybe we should let them all go back?” suggested Dongfang Xuanxiao, worried that Zhao Qingyun’s ratings would fall greatly.

Zhao Qingyun could only nod tiredly. He was ready to announce it when the crowd suddenly erupted. Zhao Qingyun’s heart trembled when he looked to the left. Indeed, there was a figure rushing over at extremely high speed. Boom! The person broke through the crowd and stood on the Martial Arena!

It was none other than Long Chen.

Everyone’s minds went blank for a while when they stared at the panting but determined teenager. They all thought that if Long Chen showed up, he would be scolded to death. But looking at how hard he was panting, it looked like he had truly been held up by something...?

“He finally came.” Zhao Qingyun smiled approvingly. If he did not come, no matter how the day ended, it would’ve been difficult for Zhao Qingyun to pick up the pieces.

Dongfang Xuanxiao and Zhao Xuanming both heaved a sigh in relief.

The only person on the side of the three Demon Elders who sighed in relief was Murong Yu. She knew she had not made a mistake. Long Chen had killed Song Zhongcheng, so there was no way he was afraid of a Seventh River-Stage cultivator like Yang Jun.

The three Demon Elders had very interesting expressions, though the Third Demon Elder was the most furious. He yelled, “Long Chen, if you were afraid, you should not have even come! How dare you even agree to a duel against Yang Jun?! You left ten thousand members of the Heavenly Demon Palace here waiting for you! What is the meaning of this?!”

Long Chen was also very frustrated internally. He had excavated the stone talisman and then time slowed down. Two days had passed in just the blink of an eye! And even after he rushed over as fast as he could, the crowd had already been waiting for almost an hour.

“Everyone, I apologize. I was held up by some important matters. However, there is no need to be resentful because soon, you will witness a very exciting duel! I believe every person here will think that this show was worth their time!” Long Chen looked around him. His words were filled with confidence.

Did he succeed? Murong Yu had a feeling.

Yang Jun slowly looked up and said darkly, “That important matter of yours made ten thousand members of the Heavenly Demon Palace wait an hour for you. Long Chen, you think too highly of yourself!”

“That’s right! Who do you think you are? That I have to wait here for you?”

“Thinking you can cultivate Traceless Demon Shadow in twenty days is the joke of all jokes! Long Chen, if you can really do it, why don’t you show us your Traceless Demon Shadow?”

The people watching below were furious.

“Since I have already caused a delay, then I shall not waste more time on nonsense. Yang Jun, talk is meaningless. Shall we begin?”
