"Clan Elder, the Martial Devil Cave only allows him to stay inside." Long Chen asked doubtfully.
Su Yuji replied, "Yes, within a ten thousand meter radius of the Martial Devil Cave, only those at my father's level can enter, but even they can't stay inside for too long. This clan elder lives in the Martial Devil Cave all year round. I've seen him once, he's very mysterious, but I don't know his origin. Perhaps he's a member of my Su Clan. In any case, he's never left the Martial Devil Cave."
Long Chen memorized this information. The two of them rapidly advanced in the inner city. The closer they got, the more Long Chen discovered that the astonishing Nirvana Qi had given birth to many celestial spirits. Even the roadside was like a fairyland. If everything in the Martial God Inner City were to fall into the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, how many experts would be created?
Speeding through the mountain forest of the inner city, Long Chen didn't feel like he was heading towards a forbidden area, because the surroundings were filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. Celestial spirits were everywhere, and it was completely like a fairyland on earth.
"It's right in front …" Su Yuji suddenly said.
At this time, many people caught up from behind. The two of them stopped and looked back, only to see at least forty people chasing after them. One of the leaders was Su Yuyao. As for the others, they were all youngsters. Moreover, they reckoned that many of them had similar status as Su Yuji and the others.
The group of people's eyes were filled with anger and ridicule, especially Su Yuyao. However, her anger had already vanished, and the ridicule in her eyes was even more evident.
After this group of people arrived, two youths, a man and a woman, walked forward. The man looked at Long Chen with incomparable anger and roared, "You're the one who injured my little brother, Su Yuchen."
The other woman had a malicious look in her eyes. She sized up Long Chen from head to toe and said, "You injured my little brother so miserably, yet you're actually unharmed. You really deserve to die. Before you enter the Martial Devil Cave, I, Su Yumei, will take half of your life."
They were having fun and immediately rushed back after hearing the news.
Behind them, there were a few people from the ancestral clan and their supporters, the young talents from the branch clan.
They usually had internal strife, but at this time, they were unprecedentedly united.
The two of them were even stronger than Su Yuchen. Long Chen definitely couldn't fight with them. Even if he won, he would only be punished. Fighting with them was meaningless.
However, the other party didn't take him seriously at all. The two young martial artists were about to rush over, but Su Yuji gently stood in front of them and coldly said, "The two Young City Lords, I will bring him into the Martial Devil Cave. Don't make trouble and waste time. If you mess things up, don't blame me for not warning you."
Su Yu Ji was a little older than them, and her posture was more adequate. Her prestige was even more original, and she also had a great advantage in terms of strength. Her words had enough weight.
Thus, the two youths stopped in their tracks and looked at Su Yuji with resentment. "Sister Yuji, this guy injured Yu Chen. That bastard."
Su Yuji coldly shouted, "You better take back your words. My father has already accepted him as his adopted son. Who are you cursing? All of you, get lost. Could it be that you want to go to the Martial Devil Cave as well?"
When she became tyrannical, the others were scared stiff.
Only Su Yuyao didn't take it seriously. She sneered, walked forward, and pretended to dissuade them, "We're all on the same side, don't be angry, and don't be in a hurry to beat him up. Anyway, he's going to enter the Martial Devil Cave, and he's going to experience the most terrifying torture in this world. Why do you have to break the rules just to vent your anger?
What do you two think? "" Sister Yuyao is right. It's fifty years, it's impossible for him to come out alive. Even if he survives, he will definitely turn into a demon and live a life worse than death. Look, this guy is still so indifferent. It's impossible for him to know how terrifying the Martial Devil Cave is. "
Everyone burst into laughter, rocking back and forth with laughter.
The two guys who were about to beat up Long Chen also temporarily gave up on the idea and laughed along with the crowd.
"Outsiders are outsiders. Lowly creatures can never be compared to people like us who have the noble bloodline of gods. Everyone, don't you think so?" Su Yuyao said in a sweet voice.
"Isn't that so? Everyone in the Dragon God Domain is under the control of us, the descendants of gods. We are the descendants of gods. Some dogs just don't understand this principle. They think that once they become adopted sons, they are their own sons. Who would send their own sons into the Martial Devil Cave for fifty years?"
Everyone laughed again. Pride was written all over their faces.
You think my father really dotes on you? You're thinking too much. I'm afraid we can't fulfill the three month agreement we made before. After all, you're going to be locked up in the Martial Devil Cave for fifty years. After fifty years, you won't even look like a human anymore. At that time, there's no need to fight anymore. My father really does dote on me, it's really satisfying. "
As she spoke, she circled around Long Chen. After she finished speaking, she chuckled again. Her voice was filled with pride and satisfaction.
All along, she seemed to have never won against Long Chen. After Long Chen became Su Zhen's adopted son, she felt incomparably sullen. When she heard the punishment of fifty years in the Martial Devil Cave, she laughed until now. The sullenness in her heart was swept away.
"Seeing that you want to enter the Martial Devil Cave, then I'll reluctantly be merciful and cancel the less than three month agreement. You'll only lose face in my hands anyway, so there's no need to thank me. I just feel that it's quite hard on you. You'll have to stay in there for fifty years, right?"
Su Yuyao giggled. Although she had a child's face, she had a pair of majestic breasts that were extremely attractive to men. However, the viciousness revealed in her words made people keep a respectful distance from her.
It was obvious that she was extremely proud of herself.
"As expected, the one who laughs last laughs best." Su Yuyao snorted coldly. She sneered again, her eyes filled with disdain.
"That's right, it's not the final moment yet."
Long Chen replied without batting an eyelid. He turned around and left with Su Yuji, no longer paying attention to this unruly little princess.
Seeing that they were ignoring her, killing intent appeared in Su Yuyao's eyes once again.
"You mean, after suffering fifty years of torture, you'll still be able to walk out alive. However, fifty years later, I'm afraid my achievements will be something that you won't be able to catch up to even if you risk your life. Or do you think that my father will bring you out earlier? Don't be delusional, idiot."
Su Yuyao screamed sharply in the midst of the crowd.
Long Chen did not listen or respond. It was useless to say more. Only by returning from the Martial Devil Cave would he be able to convince her wholeheartedly. Only then would he be able to slap her in the face.
The two figures gradually left.
The others laughed and left one after another, discussing what Long Chen might encounter in the Martial Devil Cave.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Long Chen had already reached his destination. In front of him was a quiet valley. In the valley, there was a waterfall falling down. It was a magnificent sight. This place could not be associated with the Martial Devil Cave in Long Chen's mind.
"We're here. As long as you stand here, the clan elder will appear. I can't take another step forward." Su Yuji said softly.
Long Chen looked into the distance, not saying a word.
"Speaking of which, are you really not afraid?" Su Yuji asked curiously.
Long Chen said, "I'll act according to the circumstances."
"Do you have the confidence to come out before the appointed time and fight with my sister?" Su Yuji asked.
This question …
Su Yuyao was currently rejoicing in his misfortune. She thought she had the last laugh, but Long Chen was not convinced. Therefore, he would definitely come back before the appointed time.
Not long after, the figure of a child appeared in front of him. When the 'child' came closer, Long Chen realized that he had seen wrongly. It was not a child, but a skinny old man who was only one meter tall. This person had already aged to the extreme. His skin was wrinkled and stuck to his bones. There seemed to be no flesh or blood on his body. His eyes were deep and turbid, and his entire body exuded a rancid odor that made people's hair stand on end.
He looked up and down at Long Chen and said, "Is this the one who will be locked up for fifty years?"
Su Yuji nodded in response.
"Alright, little girl, you can go now." The clan elder said with some excitement.
Su Yuji glanced at Long Chen again. Seeing that he was still emotionless, she sighed and turned to leave. Her graceful figure disappeared into the forest.
"Child, come with me." The skinny clan elder led the way in front.
He did not speak to Long Chen. Instead, he was mumbling to himself in a strange language, as if he was repeating an old folk song.
Long Chen squinted his eyes as he looked at his back. He felt that perhaps this guy had many secrets. Otherwise, why would he be the only one in this Martial Demon Cave?
As they walked forward in this mountain stream filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, Long Chen felt that the Martial Demon Cave was getting closer and closer. Indeed, amidst the lush green grass, in the deepest part of the valley, there was a cave with a diameter of about ten meters. Rather than calling it a cave, it would be better to call it a pool of green water.
"This is the Martial Demon Cave." The skinny clan elder said with some emotion.
Long Chen noticed that there were about a dozen stone blocks next to the pool of green water. About seven or eight of them were wrapped with purple-gold ropes. These ropes were obviously dao tools.
Some numbers were written on the stone blocks.
"Oh, you guessed correctly. These numbers are the months they have been locked up. This one has three months left, this one has five months left. As for you being locked up for fifty years, I'll have to calculate how many months that is."
Long Chen had a rough idea. These purple-gold ropes must have been wrapped around the criminals' bodies and then lowered down. When the time was up, they would be pulled up again.
