Chapter 795 – Azure Lotus Lord

In this brutal society, only unity would allow them to prosper and live on.

“Long Chen, follow me,” said Bai Lan after most of them had left.

Long Chen initially thought that the events of the day had ended. Only Lei Ji, Suxue, and Suyan remained. He nodded and was prepared to follow Bai Lan, but Bai Lan said to Suyan, “Yan’er, you may go back first. I want to talk to your older sister and Long Chen about the Nine Clan Martial Youth Competition.”

Suyan asked curiously, “That tournament? You want Big Brother to go?”

Bai Lan smiled and said, “Just go home. Don’t ask too many questions.”

“Oh ...” Suyan nodded obediently. After bidding Long Chen farewell, she left, and Long Chen followed Suxue, Lei Ji, and Bai Lan to the center of Heavenly Wood City.

“The Nine Clan Martial Youth Competition?” Long Chen thought about what Suyan had said. His objective for coming to Heavenly Wood City was to cultivate the Seven Star Body and cure Suyan of the secret spell. After he heard Suyan, he guessed that Bai Lan wanted him to participate in the tournament and represent the Demon clan.

Bai Lan had helped him a great deal. If he really needed Long Chen, Long Chen was willing to help.

He followed Bai Lan and the others into the sophisticated room where he first met Bai Lan. Bai Lan and Lei Ji stood in front and turned around, then regarded Long Chen for a long time. Finally, Bai Lan said, “Your performance today exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know you had achieved such heights. I’m not going to dwell on praises though. Today, I called you here because I have a request.”

“Patriarch, please tell me what you need. If it’s within my power, I will do my best,” Long Chen said with a smile. Bai Lan and Lei Ji completely respected Long Chen, and vice versa. He mainly respected them because of the brotherhood between them, which was similar to himself and Xiaolang.

Bai Lan knew he would agree, so he smiled and said, “Good. You’re indeed a man.”

He paused, then he continued, “We don’t know where you came from, but I don’t think you’re from one of the Nine Clans or the Nine Great Empires. So, you don’t know about the Five Emperors’ treasure, right?”

“Five Emperors’ treasure?” Long Chen was privately surprised. He had long known about it, ever since he obtained the Red Emperor Seal and the Prismatic Key from the Divine Fire Realm.

However, he did not show it and hid the fact that he knew about this matter. Instead, he said, “I know about the legend of the Five Emperors’ treasure, but does it really exist?”

Long Chen had already obtained the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. If he went to the Three Royal Territories, it would help him greatly, and he would be able to coast on it for a while. However, he knew that only the Five Emperors’ treasure could become his true trump card. Something that surpassed the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

The Five Emperors’ treasure was one of the main reasons he had come to the Ancient Graveyard. He would never give up on this chance!

Bai Lan and Lei Ji looked at Long Chen, and Bai Lan continued, “Based on your performance today, very few people will be a match for you in two months. And you are within the age range stipulated for the Martial Youth Competition. More importantly, you are my son-in-law. Every one of the nine clans must send two people to participate. The Demon clan initially planned to send Situ Yu and Xue’er, but you killed Situ Yu. That is why you’ll have to replace him.”

Bai Lan had mentioned Long Chen being his son-in-law so directly that Suxue grew embarrassed. She gave him an accusing glance, though her gaze made her look attractive.

When Bai Lan saw his daughter’s shy expression, he laughed and said, “Of course, participating in this competition can bring great rewards. The champion of the Martial Youth Competition will receive a special prize. The cultivator named Long-Bearded Guest is the one who suggested this reward. He is quite powerful; I think he has reached the Second Heavenly Martial Stage. He has the Yellow Emperor Key with him. It can take two people into the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm, and he has always worked alone, so he decided to use the remaining slot as the reward for the champion of the competition!”

“Another slot?” Long Chen’s eyes lit up. If the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm really existed, then he had to go. If Long Chen could take first place for the Demon clan, the last slot would be his.

When he saw that Long Chen was interested, Bai Lan chuckled and said, “Long Chen, I don’t think you know that the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition is a battleground for the nine clans. Winning first place is an extremely glorious feat. Although the Demon clan is strong, we have not won first place in many years. We both already have our slots, so we are not eyeing another slot from the Yellow Emperor Key. If you take first place, then the slot is yours. The Demon clan lacks one person anyway. If you take it, it is better than having the Five Elements Alliance or the Divine Wind Faction sending another master inside. If that happens, we will be the ones facing huge pressure.”

Long Chen naturally agreed to such a great proposal. In his heart, he had another more important mission. He smiled and asked slowly, “I will go, but I have another question.”

“What is it?” Bai Lan asked curiously.

“I want to know if the Divine clan’s Wu Guangyu will be participating in the competition.” Xiaolang was still with that jerk. Now that Long Chen was stronger, he wanted to take this chance to kill him and take Xiaolang back. He didn’t know if Xiaolang was suffering by Wu Guangyu’s side.

Long Chen blamed himself for this.

“Wu Guangyu?” Bai Lan froze, then he said, “Wu Guangyu is the strongest cultivator in the Divine clan’s younger generation, and also the nine clans’ younger generation. It is troublesome because he has not only reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, but he recently received the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance. If you want to win, he will be your greatest obstacle. Thankfully, there are two more months until the competition begins. Although you can defeat an average Ninth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator now, you are no match for Wu Guangyu yet.”

“Wu Guangyu has received the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance?” Long Chen asked. He was speechless.

Initially, the Divine clan had the White Lotus Fairy’s inheritance. Now Wu Guangyu had the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance too. Wouldn’t that give the Divine clan another great boost in strength?
