The Third Demon Elder's words were booed by many people.
Zhao Qingyun didn't frown. This time, it was Long Chen who didn't come. He was in the wrong, so he didn't know what to say and just let them be.
"Why is Long Chen so unreliable? Given his character, even if he hasn't cultivated successfully, he shouldn't have stage fright." Zhao Qingyun was also puzzled.
"Palace Master, I think we'd better forget it. That so-called Long Chen might have already sneaked out of Mount Emperor Demon with the Traceless Phantom. I'm afraid our Palace of Demons will only have two secret books left." The Third Demon Elder sneered.
"Shut up."
This time, Zhao Qingyun was a little angry. The roar of an expert in the Reaching Heaven State shook the Third Demonic Elder like a storm. The Third Demonic Elder let out a muffled groan and took several steps back, almost falling to the ground.
"Let me tell you, the Palace Master of Heavenly Devil Palace is me, not you. Long Chen is my disciple, and you say that he betrayed me? Aren't you saying that I'm blind? How dare you, Third Demon Elder?"
It would have been better if Zhao Qingyun had not flown into a rage. Once he did, everyone was scared into silence. Everyone was ready to join the three demon elders in grabbing Long Chen. Seeing Zhao Qingyun angry, they remembered that Long Chen was Zhao Qingyun's favorite disciple, and then realized that they had gone too far with their words.
The Third Demon Elder was not convinced that Zhao Qingyun had suppressed him. But with Zhao Qingyun's identity and strength, he really couldn't resist.
"Third Demon Elder, why are you in such a hurry? We might as well wait for another two hours. Palace Master will take care of it." The First Demon Elder's hoarse voice woke the Third Demon Elder up and he nodded cautiously.
At this time, behind the First Demon Elder stood his first disciple, Yang Danfeng, at the eighth level of the Sky River Realm, and behind the Second Demon Elder stood her disciple, Murong Yu, at the eighth level of the Sky River Realm. Murong Yu said softly, "I think he will come. I told him the secret of my cultivation. If it takes him more than 40 days, he should come. But 20 days is too short. I don't think he will just take the secret book and leave. If he is not delayed, he will come."
Murong Yu's words stunned the people around. They all looked at her strangely, especially Yang Danfeng, who didn't understand at all.
"Little Yu, you know Long Chen and have a good relationship with him." The Second Demon Elder said in a serious voice.
Murong Yu nodded and told them about their encounter in the Misty Valley.
"I just saw that he works hard and is a man who knows how to take responsibility. He should be a good man, so I helped him for a while." Murong Yu was a little embarrassed.
"Nonsense." The Second Demon Elder lowered his voice and scolded.
Murong Yu was a little stunned by the scolding.
"Little Yu, listen. Try not to have any contact with Long Chen in the future, or I will punish you."
The Second Demon Elder said in a low voice. The three of them had adopted the attitude of rejecting Long Chen. But Murong Yu, as the first disciple of the Second Demon Elder, had given Long Chen so much help, which really pissed the three Demon Elders off.
"You shouldn't have helped him at that time. You should have let him die there. Then your Third Uncle wouldn't have to worry so much about Yang Jun." The Second Demon Elder looked at Murong Yu with some blame.
"Master, I don't understand. Isn't Long Chen good? He has great potential. If he joins the Celestial Devil Palace, the strength of the Celestial Devil Palace will be like a tiger with wings. Maybe there will be a figure in the Reaching Heaven Realm in the future. Besides, he has a grudge against the Royal Family, so we are like-minded." After hesitating for a while, Murong Yu finally spoke out her doubts.
"Little Yu, are you really an idiot?"
The Second Demon Elder shook his head and said, "You have forgotten the rules of our ancestors. According to the rules, you can only become the next Palace Master if you hold all the Three Secret Classics, practice them successfully, and make the Demon Imperial Sword recognize you as its master. Do you want the orthodoxy of the Celestial Devil Palace to fall into the hands of an unknown outsider?"
Murong Yu was aware of this point. She also finally knew the reason why the three great devil elders were afraid of Long Chen. When they confirmed that this Long Chen was the Long Chen of the outside world, they didn't rejoice in their hearts. Instead, their ridicule turned into vigilance. They had already reserved the position of the next Heavenly Devil Palace Master for their disciple. Now that Long Chen had appeared out of nowhere, who would feel at ease?
Murong Yu could only smile helplessly. In fact, she did not particularly care about the position of the Palace Master. The person she cared about the most was standing next to her, and that was Yang Danfeng. At this time, Yang Danfeng was looking at Murong Yu, and there was an unknown light shining in his eyes.
On the side of the three Demon Elders, Zhao Qingyun was subdued. But the other disciples had waited for a long time, and they could not wait any longer. They greeted each other and whispered.
"Forget it, let's go back. We are destined to be stood up today."
"Damn it, I have been looking forward to it for so long. Damn it, that Long Chen is really a grandson."
At this time, not far away from them was Wang Xing's childish face. He originally came here with infinite reverence, but now that Long Chen did not come, he was very uncomfortable to hear others scolding him. At this time, he finally could not stand it anymore. He turned around and shouted, "Bullsh * t, how could my Brother Chen be afraid of this Yang Jun? He must have been delayed by something important. Just wait and see, he will soon appear here and use Traceless Specter to defeat Yang Jun."
"Little brat, what did you say? Do you want to die?"
Looking at Wang Xing's attire, he was just a servant disciple, and a servant disciple dared to yell at him. It was really rebellious.
Seeing that the other side revealed a look of wanting to beat someone up, Wang Xing was scared half a step back. But when he thought of Long Chen, his courage was boosted, and he said, "I am just saying the truth. Brother Chen will appear soon. You people who speak ill of him are all looking for death."
"Ouch, he really did it. Brothers, beat him."
Without saying a word, a group of people raised their fists and surrounded Wang Xing. When they were about to beat him, a figure stood in front of them. It turned out to be Yang Danfeng. Seeing that there was still fighting below, the First Demon Elder was worried that the situation would get out of control, so he asked Yang Danfeng to come down to control it.
The troublemakers were all disciples of the First Demon Elder, and there was also a servant disciple.
"You guys, go back and slap each other a hundred times. I will go back and check whose face is not swollen. I will do it for you."
Yang Danfeng's cold voice made them feel like falling into an ice cave. There was no doubt that they would choose to slap themselves. If Yang Danfeng slapped them, they would not be able to live.
Several disciples fled in embarrassment.
Yang Danfeng looked back at the timid Wang Xing and said, "You know Long Chen."
"Yes, Brother Chen is very good to me." Wang Xing said proudly.
Yang Danfeng smiled and returned to the back of the First Demon Elder without saying a word. This little conflict was just a small episode for the whole situation.
Time passed slowly. Half an hour later, when everyone completely lost their patience, Zhao Qingyun could not suppress the complaints in everyone's heart. If he forced so many people to stay here, his prestige as the Palace Lord was about to decline to the extreme.
"Father-in-law, Chen may not be able to come. Let's disperse first." Dongfang Xuanxiao was worried that Zhao Qingyun's reputation would decline, so he suggested.
Zhao Qingyun could only helplessly nod his head. Just as he was about to announce the result, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. Zhao Qingyun's heart trembled as he looked to his left. Indeed, there was a silhouette rushing over at an extremely fast speed. With a loud bang, that silhouette directly broke through the crowd and stood on the stage.
This person was none other than Long Chen.
Looking at the young man who was panting but had a determined expression on his face, everyone's minds went blank for a moment. They originally thought that if Long Chen really came, he would be scolded to death. However, looking at his panting appearance, it seemed that he really had been delayed by some matters.
"Finally, he came."
Zhao Qingyun showed a satisfied smile. If Long Chen did not come today, it would be difficult for Zhao Qingyun to clean up the mess no matter what the result was.
Dongfang Xuanxiao and Zhao Xuanke also breathed a sigh of relief.
On the side of the three Great Demon Elders, the only one who breathed a sigh of relief was Murong Yu. She knew that her judgment was right. Long Chen could kill Song Zhong City. It was impossible for him to be afraid of Yang Jun, who was at the seventh level of the Heavenly River Realm.
As for the three Great Demon Elders, their expressions were very interesting. The three Great Demon Elders were the most furious and directly scolded, "Long Chen, if you don't have the guts, don't come and fight with Yang Jun. What do you mean by leaving 10,000 people of the Heavenly Demon Palace here?"
Long Chen was also extremely depressed. He had inexplicably touched the rune, and then the flow of time had slowed down. In just a few breaths of time, two days had actually passed. When he rushed over with all his might, everyone had already been waiting here for almost an hour.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. I was delayed because of some important things, but you don't have to complain, because you are about to see an extremely exciting battle. I believe that everyone who comes here will not feel that they are at a disadvantage." Long Chen looked around, and his words showed strong confidence.
"He succeeded in his cultivation." Murong Yu had a hunch.
At this time, Yang Jun slowly raised his head and said gloomily, "You made tens of thousands of people of the Heavenly Demon Palace wait for an hour because of your important matter. Long Chen, you think too highly of yourself."
"That's right. Who do you think you are, Long Chen? You made me wait here for you."
"Practicing the Traceless Specter for 20 days? What a joke. Long Chen, if you have the ability, show us the Traceless Specter."
The people below were angry.
"Since I've delayed everyone's time, I won't talk nonsense. Yang Jun, it's useless to talk. Let's start."
