Chapter 531 - Traitor

Chapter 531 - Traitor

[1]

Dragon clan.

When Long Chen heard the name, he was puzzled. He had never heard of them before, and he did not know anyone else related to dragons. Since they called themselves the Dragon clan, were they related to dragons?

This was also the assumption of the members of the Ancient Demon Domain. Why would they be in the fourth layer of the Demon World?

Long Chen had already lost hope, certain these were his final moments, but he sensed a possible opportunity with this sudden twist. He started to study the six people in detail.

He could confirm that they were all at the Earthly Martial Realm, though he did not know the specific tiers. Based on the calm demeanor they displayed in front of the Demon Emperor, they were at least as strong as the Ancient Demon Domain.

After Demon Emperor Jiang Wuxie spoke, one of the six stepped forward. This man was about forty years old, but his youthful features made him look like he was thirty. He had a head full of long, black hair that fell like a waterfall, a slender figure, and clear features. He gave Long Chen the same feeling as Dongfang Xuanxiao—a very charismatic middle-aged man.

However, this guy was much stronger. CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Long Chen noticed that the man in black clothing had features very similar to Jiang Wushang, and Jiang Wucheng too. Based on his age, he was likely related to the Demon Emperor, though Long Chen could not see the Demon Emperor’s features underneath his cloak. However, since he was Jiang Wushang’s father, then his features were probably similar.

All of this meant that the middle-aged man with a sorrowful expression was closely related to the Demon Emperor.

He stepped forward and said to the Demon Emperor, “Big Brother, how have you been?”

“You traitor of the Ancient Demon Domain! What right do you have to call me ‘Big Brother?’” The Demon Emperor snickered coldly.

The man did not react to Jiang Wuxie’s cold treatment and stepped back. Jiang Wuxie looked at the six people and said, “Tell me why you are here. The Seven Layered Demon World of the Ancient Demon Domain is not a place you can enter on a whim!”

“What are you yapping about? There’s nothing special about this place! I’ll tell you! We came to steal! We’ve already searched your whole treasury in the sixth layer!” said a pretty girl, who was wearing blue clothing.

The girl looked like she was only a little bit older than Long Chen, but in reality, she was at least five or six years older. She had a seductive look, and every movement she made could ignite the feelings of an onlooker. Her snow-white skin, playful gaze, and bright-red lips attracted all the male disciples’ attention.

She was definitely as pretty as Liu Yiyi, though she was many times more seductive.

However, Long Chen was more focused on her cultivation level. She was clearly just a little older than Jiang Wushang, but she was already an Earthly Martial Realm master. She had to be a super prodigy of the younger generation in the Divine Martial Empire!

“You came here to steal?” The Demon Emperor’s tone changed and his voice turned ten times colder. There was now a hint of killing intent in his glare.

The Demon Emperor’s face darkened, and he confirmed that they had not taken anything. On the one hand, it would be bad for the Ancient Demon Domain’s reputation if people heard that he let them go just like that. On the other hand, the main powers of the Ancient Demon Domain were here. If he chose to fight and they were lucky enough to kill the six of them, the Ancient Demon Domain would suffer heavy losses.

The Dragon clan may be the Martial Alliance’s enemy, but they are not the Ancient Demon Domain’s enemy. The Martial Alliance may be after them, but all the Ancient Demon Domain actually needs to do is pretend to make some noise and it will do. It won’t do us any good if we fight, and I don’t think we should put any effort into this ...

The Demon Emperor’s mind raced.

The six members of the Dragon clan were also waiting for an answer. Their attitude was simple—since they were already here, they would fight if needed, but they were also fine with not fighting. They had always been straightforward like this; there was nothing to be scared of.

The Ancient Demon Domain had suffered enough losses today. Most people trembled when they heard the name of the Dragon clan, so Jiang Wuxie chose to let them go. However, he had to save some face, so he said coldly, “You want me to let you go? I can do that; I will just say were my guests. But how can I allow you to leave without paying a price? Send me one person. If that person can withstand one punch from me, I will let you go.”

“Is that some kind of joke? You can’t even stop us. We can just go if we want to! Why would we take a punch from you?” The girl in blue laughed.

She was the youngest out of the six, and likely also the weakest, but she was also the most talkative. When she finished, the man in black, who looked like he belonged to the Jiang bloodline, pulled her back and stepped forward. “Thank you, Big Brother! I was the one who brought them into the Ancient Demon Domain. I will take the punch!”

“Wuya, let me do it,” said the leading lady with Dragon Warrior blood. She was the only one who was equal to the Demon Emperor.

“I’ll do it.” The man in black, named Jiang Wuya, shook his head. He looked like the oldest out of the six of them and seemed to be the second strongest.

Seeing as he was insistent, the lady did not speak again. Her dark eyes were as tranquil as a quiet lake. She stared at Jiang Wuya for a while, and the look in her eyes remained unchanged.

When the Demon Emperor saw that Jiang Wuya had stepped forward, there was a flash of anger in his eyes. “I knew you’d be the one to step forward, you traitor!”

“Big Brother!” Jiang Wuya’s expression was also solemn. “Remember, the one I betrayed was not the Ancient Demon Domain, but the Martial Alliance! I know I am still a traitor, but I do not regret anything that I have done!”

“Including orbiting around that lady every day like a clown?” said Jiang Wuxie.

Jiang Wuya froze, then he bit his lip and said, “My business is none of your concern. Just do it!”

The Demon Emperor did not hold back at all. The moment Jiang Wuya finished speaking, he appeared right in front of him and threw a punch.

Long Chen was shocked!

He had been watching Jiang Wuxie’s attack closely. There were no frills to it, just a simple punch. He did not see any eruption of Qi, but this punch terrified Long Chen.

Not much Qi leaked out of his punch; all his energy was concentrated in his fist. Although it doesn’t look powerful, if he punched me, all my bones would’ve shattered many times over. Is this why it’s called the ‘Martial’ Realm?
