Chapter 502 - Plan

As expected, when the Red Ghost King was about to hit Long Chen, the Clear Shallows King stood in front of Long Chen and dispersed the pressure that came crashing on him. Long Chen enjoyed being protected by someone, especially when that someone was a pretty lady like the Clear Shallows King.

“Red Ghost King, did you just walk into my pavilion and try to kill one of my direct disciples? Are you here to wage war with me?”

“Direct disciple?! How is Jiang Cheng your direct disciple?! You can only take one every year!” the Red Ghost King hollered.

“Are you stupid? I did want to accept Huangfu Qi as my direct disciple, but since she’s someone important from the Huangfu family, I had to let her go. Since she’s gone, I can naturally have Jiang Cheng take her place. Who are you to come and question my freedom?” The Clear Shallows King's face was filled with frost and arrogance.

“Fine! I won’t talk about that right now. You know why I’m here. Even though he’s your direct disciple, he can’t just kill mine! Jiang Cheng must die today!” The Red Ghost King didn’t want to fight the Clear Shallows King if possible, because there were no benefits to that, and they would also get reprimanded by the Demon Emperor.

But Long Chen had to pay!

The Red Ghost King doted on Zhao Wuji. He intended to train him to become the second Ying Shaotian. In a few years, he would have two geniuses under his care and he would defeat the other Kings. That was why he had given Zhao Wuji the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman to defend his life. But then the news of his disciple’s passing reached his ears merely hours later.

The Red Ghost King’s heart shattered when he heard that, so he had grabbed Ying Shaotian and rushed to the Clear Shallows Pavilion to get revenge.

But things were not going as smoothly as he had thought. Even though Zhao Wuji was his direct disciple, the Clear Shallows King was claiming that Long Chen was her direct disciple as well. It would’ve been fine for him to kill Long Chen if the latter were just a normal disciple, but how could a Demon King let someone kill their direct disciple?

Long Chen nodded in his heart. The Clear Shallows King was determined to protect him. Long Chen was officially her direct disciple after she announced it today. That meant he was now qualified to go to the third layer of the Demon World. Also, since he was at the Seventh Passage Stage, he could go to the region where the other Seventh Passage Stage disciples were.

The Red Ghost King still intended to take Long Chen’s life despite everything.

The Clear Shallows King scoffed, “Red Ghost King, everyone is bound by rules. You cannot treat my direct disciple as a nobody while calling your direct disciple an important person at the same time. The masters must come out to mediate when disciples fight. Also, while Zhao Wuji was indeed killed by Jiang Cheng, do you know the reason why? Jiang Cheng, tell us what happened.”

Long Chen explained what had happened the previous night. The Red Ghost King knew that ever since Zhao Wuji reached the Fifth Passage Stage, he had knocked on Long Chen’s door every day to redeem his dishonor. While he believed Long Chen’s story, he didn’t want to accept it.

The Red Ghost King was impressed by his direct disciple’s intellect and laughed. “You are right. Let’s do as you’ve said. Clear Shallows King, do you accept? If not, your direct disciple is lying, and you won’t be able to blame me for what happens next ...”

The Clear Shallows King hesitated. Ying Shaotian was indeed strong, and even she didn’t know how to turn the situation around. She would be asking for Long Chen to die if she asked him to take even a single hit from Ying Shaotian.

The Clear Shallows King was about to reject that proposal when Long Chen interjected, “That’s a good idea. Let’s do it right now. But if I manage to block it, take your master and get out of here. We do not welcome you here.”

“Jiang Cheng ...” Both the Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi were shocked. They thought Long Chen was being rash. Liu Yiyi had seen Ying Shaotian’s strength, and he was stronger than her, so she was worried.

Both the Red Ghost King and Ying Shaotian were surprised by how fast Long Chen had agreed. Ying Shaotian had a feeling that the situation was now beyond his control after a single sentence from Long Chen.

“To be fair, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the death of my junior.” Ying Shaotian nodded and accepted Long Chen’s proposal. If Long Chen could block a single attack from him, they would leave.

“Don’t worry.” Long Chen said when he saw the Clear Shallows King frowning. He then walked to the empty spot in the middle of the pavilion and looked at Ying Shaotian. “Come, stop wasting our time.”

The Red Ghost King and Ying Shaotian exchanged looks before the latter approached Long Chen. Ying Shaotian stopped ten meters away from his target and looked at him carefully. He sensed nothing wrong with Long Chen.

I watched him barely beat someone at the Fourth Passage Stage during the qualifiers. He’s much weaker than me, yet he agreed to my proposal? Might as well kill him and let Master reward me later on ...

Ying Shaotian circulated his Qi and turned serious. A soft wind blew his sleeves, making him look like a godly general descending from the heavens.

Long Chen decided not to transform. It was not yet time for him to reveal his true strength. He only needed to chase the two of them away today.

Liu Yiyi and the Clear Shallows KIng looked on with concern on their faces. To the Clear Shallows King, Long Chen was her hope for the event in one month. If he died, she would be in trouble too.

Ying Shaotian’s body flashed and he shot towards Long Chen like a tornado. When he got close, he pointed at Long Chen with his finger. The atmosphere changed, and strong wind hurled past the pavilion and blew Long Chen’s hair wildly.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
