Chapter 28: Pure Demon Blood

Vroom!

The sound of a car exhaust resonated from the villa's area as Long Tian and Ling Han set out for a destination. Despite their initial destination being the Heavenly Demon Sect, they were set to return to Tianhai City once again.

The Heavenly Demon Sect, although infamous for their wicked practices and study of demonic techniques, was highly respected in this nation.

Long Tian had his eyes on something within this sect.

"So, after we return from Tianhai, we're going back there again?" Ling Han broke the silence. n..Ove1b1n

"Yeah, I didn't anticipate the process would be this fast. But it doesn't matter, I miss my mother anyway," Long Tian responded, a smile on his face.

"Lady Su will undoubtedly be happy to see you," Ling Han replied.

Long Tian offered a thin smile. They were heading back to Tianhai, not to the Wudang Sect, but to his father's opulant mansion.

There was something he wanted to retrieve there. Furthermore, tomorrow, being Sunday, is a day when school is not in session.

************

Several hours passed, and the surroundings grew darker. It was already two in the morning, just a few hours before dawn.

At this moment, Long Tian and Ling Han had arrived in front of a grand, luxurious house.

The house, made entirely of top-tier white marble, emanated a distinct aura of opulence.

A middle-aged man walked towards the car.

The car window rolled down, revealing Long Tian's face. "It's me," he stated.

The man's expression changed in an instant. He immediately bowed and greeted, "Welcome, young master."

"Open the gate," Long Tian ordered.

"Right away, young master," the middle-aged man nodded, immediately opening the gate.

Ling Han drove the car into the mansion grounds, and they stepped out.

Long Tian looked at the grand building in front of him, a smile on his face. He hadn't visited his parents' home for three months.

"Aren't we too late, young master? Lady Su might be asleep," Ling Han commented.

"Well, I'll check on her inside," Long Tian declared, immediately walking into the mansion.

Inside, the furnishings were extremely luxurious, seemingly out of a fictional kingdom.

However, Long Tian was not overly impressed. This was his birthplace, and he was accustomed to such opulence.

"Mom? Are you still awake?" Long Tian called out.

There was no response from anyone. However, shortly after, a muscular man dressed in black came towards him.

"Young master, Lady Su is on a business trip in Beijing, while Master Long is busy cracking down on a drug cartel in the Seiji district," he explained.

Long Tian nodded and said, "I see, you may go back to your duties."

As the muscular man left Long Tian, Long Tian made his way to the third floor.

He entered a room that was conveniently unlocked. This room was a collection of antiques amassed by his father.

He looked at each one, hundreds of them filling this grand room. It was like a museum.

From meteorite stones, ancient manuscripts to a frozen sabertooth carcass, the room was filled with these items.

However, what Long Tian sought was far more valuable than any of these...

"Are you looking for another hidden technique?" Shen Yulan suddenly questioned.

"No, something else. I'm looking for a buffalo horn, can you help me?" Long Tian asked.

"Sure," Shen Yulan answered, she then stepped out of the jade and appeared in her spectral form.

She floated above and scanned the entire room. After a while, she spotted what Long Tian was searching for.

She promptly floated to a spot, in front of a frozen buffalo head.

"Here, I found it," Shen Yulan stated.

Hearing this, Long Tian immediately walked towards Shen Yulan.

In front of him was a sizable buffalo head. He was slightly puzzled about whether he should cut the horn off or not.

In the original plot, Qin Chen stole a buffalo horn while saving Li Yue'er.

"I do feel something inside one of those horns. Have you figured it out?" Shen Yulan questioned.

"Which horn?" Long Tian asked.

"The left one, it feels as if it can be easily removed," Shen Yulan responded.

Upon hearing this, Long Tian immediately pulled out the left horn. And sure enough, he could remove it easily.

A grin spread across his face, "Finally, I found you," he said.

The buffalo horn was no ordinary item. It contained pure demon blood preserved for thousands of years.

Qin Chen, with his massive luck, found this item and took it to the Heavenly Demon Sect, gaining another immense power after the Galaxy Dantian.

He then shifted his gaze to Shen Yulan, "It's fortunate that you're my mentor, Lady Shen. And wouldn't it be better if we keep it this way?"

"I'm just fulfilling the contract, Long Tian. Don't forget that I will only be your mentor for one month," Shen Yulan responded.

"I know, but wouldn't it be better if we partnered up? I know you want to get out of that jade, and if you stay with me, I can help you return to your human form," Long Tian stated.

Shen Yulan was silent for a moment. Long Tian's words sounded promising, and she was quite impressed with him over the past few days. His calm yet firm demeanor, his knowledge and looks... it was actually a good offer.

But she shook her head, "I can't, Long Tian, I'm sorry," she replied.

Long Tian sighed, "Is it because of Qin Chen?"

"Not just because of Qin Chen. Actually, I'm much different from what you currently see in front of you. After being trapped for millions of years, my original memories and demeanor have been shrouded in thick clouds. But now, I'm slowly recalling them. I used to be a cruel and cold-blooded person, who knows if I manage to return to my human form, I might kill you?" Shen Yulan stated.

"Then I just have to fight back," Long Tian responded, smiling.

Shen Yulan was slightly surprised at Long Tian's reply. She smiled back, "No, Long Tian, let's not discuss that. For sure, I will still be your mentor for a month."

"Well, I don't want to force you either. So, let's get out of here," Long Tian declared.

With that, Shen Yulan returned to the jade, around Long Tian's neck.

*************

Stepping out of the mansion, Long Tian immediately approached Ling Han who was sitting in the mansion's yard.

"Uncle Ling, let's go to the Heavenly Demon Sect," Long Tian said.

"Oh, have you already gotten what you wanted?" Ling Han asked.

"Yes, I got it. But, it seems we are short of men to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect," Long Tian replied.

"Young master, you don't intend to wage a war against them, do you?" Ling Han asked earnestly.

"Well, that depends on them," Long Tian replied, an enigmatic smile on his face.
