Chapter 816 - Secret

Long Chen’s hair stood up when the people in black robes appeared. Even though he wasn’t at Confounding City, he held his breath because of the shock he was experiencing. He was afraid that he would affect Little Cat and cause some sort of accident.

But his worries were unwarranted because he could still control the Primordial Dragon Talisman. He could recall Little Cat back at any time.

Let’s see who they are and what they are planning to do.

Little Cat sensed that Long Chen had stopped cultivating and sighed in relief. He carefully hid even though he wasn’t afraid of the outsiders in black robes. But due to him occupying the body of the Dream Demon, who was a demonic beast, the instinct to run from powerful foes couldn’t be switched off. That was why Little Cat’s body was trembling.

Little Cat used all of his willpower to control the body of the Dream Demon to stop trembling, then he stared at the men in front to see what they were up to.

There were six of them, and they were standing around where the Five-Colored Altar had appeared. One of them stepped forward and did a complicated seal with their hands. A purple light traced their movements like a ribbon.

The person stepped back, then Long Chen saw the Five-Colored Altar appear once more. It was still hazy, and it disappeared very quickly after flashing.

The appearance of the Five-Colored Altar was within Long Chen’s expectations. It seems that they already know about the altar.

Long Chen observed closely and saw that the one who made the seals had an odd appearance. The person’s arm slid out from the black robes and revealed purple-scaled claws.

Rows of neatly arranged purple scales adorned their hand, and their fingertips ended in sharp claws. An eerie, purple light danced in the palms of the person.

Is he a Beast Warrior? But why is he in his transformed form when he’s not in battle?

Long Chen was curious.

After the Five-Colored Altar disappeared, they finally started conversing. Long Chen was excited to hear what they was going to talk about in hopes that he would get more information.

He was hoping he could overhear something important.

The man who had made the seals chuckled sinisterly. His voice was horrifying, as if he had come from the depths of the Nine Spirit Purgatory.

“The secret entrance of the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm... It will open a month before the Ancient Graveyard shuts down. Let’s just wait for them to finish their childish tournament before we give them the final key.”

Another eerie voice came from another person. “Where should we place the final key?”

“Since it’s the Black Emperor Key, we should toss it at Tianyi Water City.”

“Heh, we can finally get our hands on the treasures of the Five Emperors! We’ve waited for it for so long. Those damned Five Emperors. How dare they set up such a restriction even after they’ve died? I can’t believe they would go to such lengths to prevent us from taking the treasure!”

“If I were to spread this around, it would cause panic and no one would enter the Secret Realm anymore. I fear that the people from the Demon Race would get angry and kill everyone here after finding out that their plan has failed.”

Long Chen knew that he could not be rash since this was an important matter.

“We cannot let anyone know. We still have five months, so let’s just wait and see for a bit. The Divine clan, Wind clan, and the Five Element Alliance have nothing to do with me, but Bai Lan and Lei Ji have helped me a lot. I might let them know secretly so that they could prepare themselves.”

Little Cat assured him, “Don’t worry, since your ancestors from the Ten Thousand Nations Territory could set a restriction to prevent the Demon Race from taking their treasure, they probably foresaw this too. I have a feeling that you will be able to leave peacefully after obtaining the treasure. They would never let their inheritance be taken by someone random.”

Long Chen agreed since Little Cat had a point.

“Just set this aside right now. I’ve heard from Suxue that Jin Ling is very strong. I have to face him tomorrow, and I cannot be careless.”

Long Chen started cultivating again and soon, the next day arrived.

No one bothered Long Chen until it was almost noon. Bai Lan and the others made sure they were ready to depart before they approached him.

“Are you ready?” Bai Lan asked.

“We will be victorious today.” Long Chen smiled confidently.

“Good. It’s all up to you now.”

Of all of them, Long Chen was the most confident. Everyone else was worried about him since Jin Ling was famous for being a crazy bastard completely engrossed in cultivation. Jin Ling had never lost before, not even once.

Long Chen’s luck wasn’t the best since he would be fighting against Jin Ling first.

The Nine Clan Martial Youth Competition was an important matter in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. Since it was being held in the Ancient Graveyard this time, there weren’t a lot of spectators, but the three factions took it very seriously and arrived at the venue long before the set meeting time.

Feng Liu had been sent back to Giant Metal City to be treated, so not a lot of people were left in the Divine Wind Faction. The grudge between Feng Zhilin and Long Chen had deepened after their previous encounter. Feng Zhilin’s face was icy when she saw Long Chen. Her thick bloodlust even leaked out uncontrollably.

Wu Guangyu was the same. Compared to Feng Zhilin, Wu Guangyu was even more loved by his mother. His mother was at the pinnacle of strength in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory as the matriarch of the Divine clan. He had always done what he wanted ever since he was young, and no one could control him. Wu Lian, however, had been strict on his cultivation so Wu Guangyu could be powerful. He had never once tasted defeat.

But he was wary of Long Chen after he saw how he had defeated Feng Zhilin.

Make sure to win against Jin Ling so I can teach you a lesson. You are not qualified to fight me if you lose.

Long Chen could tell what Wu Guangyu was trying to let him know by just looking into his eyes.
