Chapter 441 - Expert From The Emperor Territory

“There is a secret entrance to the Three Emperor Territories in the Ancient Graveyard. You need to first reach the Ancient Graveyard, but I don’t know how you are going to do that.”

“Does that mean I first need to reach the Divine Martial Territory to find out the way to enter the Ancient Graveyard? Only then can I reach the Three Emperor Territories and find you?”

Ling Xi was worried, but she nodded.

Long Chen felt like his heart was being cut apart when he saw her in so much distress.

Strength ... Damn! If I was strong enough, I wouldn't have to worry about separating from her. It’s all because I lack strength! Long Chen had been increasing his strength steadily up till this point. He had been content with his talent, but now he knew he was just an ant.

He was unrelenting. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

“Another hour ...” Long Chen took a deep breath. This was what he had chosen, so he would not regret it, but still, it was a devastating feeling to learn that he wouldn’t see her for a very long time. There was even a chance he wouldn’t see her ever again.

Ling Xi cried when she heard him.

“Xiao Xi, don’t be like that. You need to stay calm and distance yourself from me. I don’t know how temperamental your family is. If they look down on me and see how close we are, I’m pretty sure something bad will happen.”

He didn’t fear death, he just didn’t want to get into trouble. Now that he knew he couldn’t change his decision, he had no choice but to accept it. But Long Chen knew that one day he would appear before her without needing to fear any repercussions.

Long Chen’s words shook her. Because it was related to his life, Ling Xi dared not take a risk.

“Brother Chen, I can feel who’s coming to get me. It’s my grandmother! My mom and dad might be stubborn, but my grandmother is very good to me. If I beg her, she might bring you back!” Ling Xi said excitedly.

“Grandmother? She treats you well?” Long Chen was moved. He knew that if he were to go to that place right now with Ling Xi, the others would bully him because he was still weak. Still, he wasn’t sure if he could leave Ling Xi alone. If her grandmother did allow him to follow, he would take the risk.

“My grandmother treats me well, so she might agree to it!”

Long Chen never thought there would be a chance like this. If her grandmother agreed, he wouldn’t have to go through the Ancient Graveyard.

After thinking about it, he said, “Ling Xi, this method might work, but you must never let them know about our relationship. You can just say we are friends and I helped you obtain the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. We might have a larger chance that way.”

She’s much stronger than Ling Xi ...

The person behind the old lady was even stronger. He appeared to be around fourteen years old, roughly the same age as Xiaolang. He was even almost as good-looking as Xiaolang was. But while Xiaolang exuded a gentle Yin energy, the youth was radiating intense Yang energy.

As for his strength ... Long Chen felt like the youth was the sun, and he could barely look at him directly. The golden eyes and movements that radiated strength confirmed Long Chen’s suspicions. The youth was incredibly powerful.

They were Ling Xi’s family members, but they didn’t look like her at all. Maybe they are not related by blood? But Ling Xi did say that the old woman was her grandmother.

Ling Xi cried out in surprise and hugged the old woman when they appeared.

Long Chen smiled as he knew Ling Xi was faking it. She was still worried and scared because she had to separate from Long Chen, and she was just putting up a front.

The old woman started crying when she found Ling Xi. Seeing how excited she was, the old woman was happy too. “Good child. As long as you are safe ... Quick, tell me what happened to you. How did you end up in this deserted place? Why have you been gone for an entire year?”

Ling Xi took out the Ling Xi Sword and sobbed as she told the story of how the sword had destroyed her body and bound her soul. The old woman was shocked and wanted to snatch the sword away, but an invisible wave of energy repelled her.

“Impossible!” The old woman was shocked. “Xi’er, this sword must be a demonic sword! We need to let your father examine it. It might be a great treasure.”

Long Chen was also surprised by how the Ling Xi Sword had reacted.

The sword had only allowed himself and Ling Xi to touch it. It had rejected the touch of other people, including Li Xuanji. He was certain that there was more to the sword since the old woman had said it was a treasure.

The old woman was just about to leave, but Ling Xi started to execute her plan. She grabbed her grandma’s hands and said in a coy tone, “Grandma, why are you in such a hurry to leave? There’s still so much to tell you! Such as how I managed to restore my body so you could come find me!”

Long Chen could tell the old woman favored Ling Xi, so he sighed in relief. He felt like there was a good chance the plan would succeed.

The old woman asked, “Xi’er, how did you restore yourself?”

In order to emphasize how Long Chen had saved her while also hiding their relationship, Ling Xi tried her best to summarize it.

“That’s because I made a really interesting friend here. He’s called Long Chen. He found many spiritual herbs to keep me alive and even defeated the Emperor of a kingdom to get the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit just for me. Grandma, I finally found a friend. Can I bring him to our place to thank him for saving me so many times? I want to play with him there,” Ling Xi said with anticipation.

Long Chen was anxious. This was the moment when he would learn if the plan would succeed or not.
