Chapter 1556 Chapter 1056: Marriage
Long Chen walked towards the source of the aura, finding everything strange. Despite killing so many people, no one was coming to stop them at all.
Instead, the place looked completely barren, as if it wasn't heaven but some abandoned world. If it wasn't for the aura coming from the Central area, he would've thought that no one was left here at all.
The familiar aura felt even more strange to him.
"Don't you find it all very strange!" he asked the Demonic Ancestor who had returned the body to Long Chen after finding no challenge here.
In his stead, it was Long Chen who was destroying everything in his path while advancing forward.
"Could this be a trap?" Long Chen further asked, starting to get suspicious.
"It's impossible for it to be a trap. They don't know about my return. And we've directly arrived here. So it's impossible for them to be prepared. Moreover, if this was a trap, they wouldn't have made it so obvious."
The Demonic Ancestor didn't take Long Chen's worries seriously, thinking that he was worrying unnecessarily. "Moreover, even if it's a trap, I quite want to see what kind of trap it is.'
The Demon Ancestor didn't know the meaning of fear. In his life, he had fought fiercely, even when he fought against the Heavenly Ancestor.
He also believed that worrying about the descendants of his enemy was no different than lowering his dignity. Even in the soul form, he was confident about being able to deal with any unexpected situation.
"I'd be really upset if this is how I die. So you better not be wrong," Long Chen said, as he walked towards the Central Area, blood still dropping down his sword.
After walking for close to ten minutes, he reached the Palace in the middle, which belonged to the Heavenly Emperor. Although he had never arrived here, but he had seen the Heavenly Emperor in the past.
He had also been trained by someone who used to be very close to the Heavenly Emperor, only to be sent to the Prison later.
Although the man wasn't his master, but he had taught Long Chen, which made him want to pay the man back, even if it was in the form of the Heavenly Emperor's head.
"No guards here either," Long Chen commented, things getting more bizarre.
He pushed the door open, using his divine consciousness to scan his surroundings. Although he was able to scan a large area around the palace, as soon as his divine consciousness entered the palace, he was caught by surprise, unable to see anything beyond the ten meters range.
"You won't be able to use your Divine Consciousness inside the palace. So don't bother," the Demon Ancestor reminded Long Chen. "This Palace is made from a special material that blocks divine consciousness. It seems that whoever designed this place went to great lengths to ensure privacy and security."
"Unlike the brats back home, who only sealed the Spatial Movements and that too barely." He couldn't help but scold his descendants, as if looking down on them.
"No amount of Spatial restrictions could stop you from leaving. So of course you won't find it anything special. But if it was just me, breaking free of it would've been almost impossible unless I used special means," Long Chen replied, trying to ease his concern while talking with the Demon Ancestor.
"Don't forget your promise though. After we destroy Heaven, you'll teach me everything you know. And after that, you'll be gone."
"Don't worry. I always keep my word. As the Ancestor of the Great Demons, it would be beneath my dignity to lie to a mere human. Although the mere human is a lot better than my descendants. What a pity. My bloodline has really fallen," the Demon Ancestor kept talking as Long Chen entered the palace, finding his way through the maze-like corridor.
"Anyways, although you're married, but have you ever thought about marrying into the Demon Clan? That little brat's daughter isn't half bad. If you're interested, I'd be happy to accept you into the clan and get you two married. With you, I'd be much more confident about future prosperity for my descendants when leaving."
Hearing the Demon Ancestor, Long Chen couldn't help but feel like smacking the Demonic Ancestor. Even at this time, he was thinking about the marriage of his descendants to rope him in.
"Aren't you forgetting that you're here for revenge? Why does it feel like we're out on a walk? Can we get a little serious now?" Long Chen asked in return.
He was very careful about his choice of words to not show much of his displeasure.
"Are you not interested in that girl? I am sure that brat can find someone else in the clan for you?" The Demonic Ancestor asked again.
"Why are you even talking about such things? Are you worried that if I'm to learn your skills and you leave, I might use your skills against your own clan if I were to ever become their enemy?" Long Chen asked, guessing the worries of the Demon Ancestor.
It was clear that the man had really high expectations of Long Chen, while he really looked down on the Demon Emperor who was his descendant.
Long Chen didn't know if he should be happy about such high praise from the Demonic Ancestor, who used to be one of the strongest beings of his era, or if he should be annoyed.
"It's not wrong entirely. You'd be quite an annoying enemy if you ever stand against my descendants. And you'll only become more dangerous after learning my skills. But I can't break my promise of teaching you either. So I can only try to get some relationship going between you and my descendants," the Demonic Ancestor answered.
"You don't have to worry about that. The Demon Clan and I already have a relationship going. You're what links us, and you'll always be the link, even after you're gone. So I promise you, I will never become the Enemy of the Demon Clan, unless they betray me or try to kill me."
With a promise, Long Chen stopped before a thick door. "That's enough. I'm sure they're on the other side. We'll talk about the rest later."
