Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1517:
Chapter 1517:
Zhu Chang blocked the path of the Demon Princess, believing she was going to attempt another escape.
The Demon Princess wanted to teleport to Long Chen’s family since this was the only way to control the others here, but she realized that she couldn’t teleport. Moreover, she also couldn’t run to the family members with the Black Tortoise King present there.
She knew this place had failed. It was spoiled before it could even begin. Instead of sticking with the dead plan, she decided to escape. It was better than being caught and being used as a hostage. Moreover, only one person was blocking the exit… Zhu Chang.
Even though Zhu Chang was the son of the Black Tortoise King, the Demon Princess was also the daughter of the Demon Emperor, who wasn’t weak in any sense. She had never fought Zhu Chang, but she believed not only could she face him, but she could also defeat him.
Moreover, defeating him was much easier than going against a God Beast King.
She swiftly turned around like Lightning and let out a kick that landed straight on the chest of the young man.
Zhu Chang also reacted fast and brought both his arms together to block the kick.
He had safely blocked the attack, yet he was pushed back a few steps just from the impact of the kick itself. “You’ll have to do better than that, Princess.”
“How about I chimed in as well?”
Zhu Chang was distracted by the Demon Princess when he heard the coarse voice of Long Chen. A blinding light flashed, forcing Zhu Chang to close his eyes.
At the same time, Zhu Chang’s figure appeared before him, holding a beautiful Dark Sword.
Zhu Chang didn’t open his eyes yet just to be safe; he cast his own barrier.
The Sword clashed with the barrier, unable to break through.
The Old man didn’t interfere in the battle even though his son was fighting two people. It was his son, and he had faith in the young man.
A barrier also seems to appear around the pupils of Zhu Chang, which protected his eyes from the light and other such obstructions.
“You started it, but I’ll finish it!” Zhu Chang grabbed Long Chen by the collar and tossed him out the house before following after him.
For some reason, Long Jun and everyone in the house felt uneasy as they saw Long Chen fight Zhu Chang.
“Are you sure he isn’t the real Long Chen?” Long Jun asked the Snake Monarch.
“This daddy is sure that he is an impersonator!” Snake Monarch exclaimed out loud. “Don’t worry about him. Let him be beaten, and he’ll accept on his own.”
Zhiqing agreed with the Snake Monarch. She was sure this guy wasn’t Long Chen just from his gaze itself. “He isn’t Long Chen. And if he were, he wouldn’t have attacked his friend Zhu Chang for no reason at all.”
“That does make sense, but still… Even though he’s an impersonator, he still has the same face as Chen’er. It’s not easy to not worry about him.” Long Jun sighed.
“Real Long Chen is safe as well. We will bring him back! These people will lead us to him!” The Patriarch chimed in. “But before that, can we talk about the thing we asked before we were disturbed?”
“You mean the God Core?” Long Jun let out. “I honestly don’t know anything about it. I’ve never heard Chen’er mention it. Moreover, he didn’t leave anything with us. He keeps all his treasures with him. At most, he shares some weapons with us and some fighting skills, but nothing that can be called Godly Core.”
“Yeah. I didn’t hear him mention that either. If he had it, he certainly wouldn’t give it to us.”
One after another, everyone from Long Chen’s family came clean that they never heard of anything like that and didn’t see something that could fit the description.
The Black Tortoise King also couldn’t detect any lies in their words, just based on the expressions itself. However, he also knew that if they actually had the God Core, it would make sense for them to lie about it to keep it safe. Still, he just couldn’t accuse them.
The only way for him to get an answer was if he were to imprison them and Torture them, but if later it turned out that they were indeed telling the truth, then it was going to be a disaster.
He turned to the Immortal Queen. “You claimed his family had the God Core. They claim they don’t. One side is clearly lying.”
“I’m not lying. But it’s also possible that they don’t have the God Core. As I told you before, the memories we managed to retrieve were fragmented. We saw him having the God Core when he arrived here. Then some memories were missing ever so often.”
“And by the time we found it, he didn’t have the God Core. The missing memories contain where the God Core. We believed it was with his family since one of the missing memories was when they were together. But there were more… Like in the Ancestral Temple and in spatial distortion.”
“He could’ve dropped the God Core when he was unconscious in the Spatial Distortion. Or it’s also possible that he hid it or gave it to someone inside the Ancestral Temple. We couldn’t go to the other three places, so we wanted to try our luck with his family.”
“That’s why I can’t say for sure if his family have it or not.”
Since he was making the story up, she couldn’t just be stubborn and stick to the story. In case these people were able to prove that they didn’t have the God Core, which was the case, she was going to be in trouble instead, so she spread her story a bit.
“You…” The Black Tortoise Clan was known to be the most patient, but even the old man was starting to lose his patience now.
The God Core wasn’t an ordinary thing! It was something that could change the entire universe! He didn’t want to lose the God Core now that he had some information about it.
“Only Long Chen can have more accurate information as to where it is, in that case. You will take us to the real Long Chen. Do you understand?”
“I-i….” The Immortal Queen was gobsmacked. Long Chen was predicted to kill her, and this h guy was taking her to him?
Moreover, even if that happened, these people were going to find out that she had lied! Under no condition could she do that!
