Life in the Heavenly Devil Palace became peaceful again, but under this tranquility, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
After returning from Dongfang Xuanxiao's place, Long Chen was still thinking about what happened today. At this time, Lingxi suddenly said, "Chen, Murong Yu tipped you off, causing the three Great Demon Elders' plan to fail. Do you think they will implicate her after they go back? She helped you out of kindness, so she should be innocent …"
From Lingxi's words, it could be seen that she was actually very worried. Liu Lan of the Lingwu family had some contact with Long Chen before, so Lingxi hated her very much. However, this Murong Yu repeatedly helped Long Chen without asking for anything in return, so Lingxi had a good impression of her.
Long Chen frowned. He thought for a moment and said, "No, since she helped me, she can be regarded as the savior of my adoptive father. I can't abandon her. I'll go to Tri-Demon City now."
After thinking of this, Long Chen was about to take action.
"Chen, are you going alone? Call your master," Lingxi reminded him.
"No need. After what happened just now, the three Great Demon Elders won't dare to touch me. Moreover, with Xiao Lang here, they can't kill me even if they want to." Now that Long Chen had Zhao Qingyun's support, he was not afraid of the three Great Demon Elders.
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Chen called out to the Wolf Cub and quickly headed in the direction of Triple Demon City. At this time, the sky was gradually brightening and the rays of the morning sun began to shine on the Heavenly Demon Palace. In a corner of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Triple Demon City's position was particularly prominent.
Soon, Long Chen approached Tri-Demon City. Tri-Demon City was actually a large courtyard with some independent bronze gates. At this time, there were many disciples guarding in front of the gates. When seeing Long Chen approaching, they suddenly became a little anxious because they already knew Long Chen, and several of them had seen Long Chen take out the Refined Flame Essence equivalent to 2,000 in the Demonic Palace.
"Long Chen, what are you doing in Tri-Demon City?"
Before Long Chen approached, one of the disciples plucked up his courage and raised his head to ask Long Chen bluntly. After all, Long Chen disgraced the three Great Demon Elders. As the direct disciples of the three Great Demon Elders, they naturally lost face because of this.
"I want to see Murong Yu." Long Chen directly stood at the gate and said indifferently.
"Senior-apprentice Sister Murong."
Everyone was startled at first, then looked up and down at Long Chen. Their hearts suddenly became vigilant. Murong Yu was the goddess of the Heavenly Devil Palace, and there was no one who didn't covet her. And when Long Chen came here to ask to see Murong Yu, the meaning of his love was already very clear.
As the saying goes, fertile water should not flow to outsiders. Moreover, Murong Yu was not only fertile water, but also the goddess of Tri-Demon City. If she was won over by an outsider like Long Chen, no one would feel comfortable. Therefore, they immediately plucked up their courage and said, "No, our Senior-apprentice Sister Murong won't see anyone, let alone you."
"Won't see anyone? You made this up." Long Chen raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"Who said we made it up? Long Chen, could it be that you want to force your way in? I'll go tell the three great demon elders now. If you force your way into Tri-Demon City, even if the Palace Master comes, you'll have to bear the consequences."
That disciple shouted fiercely. As he shouted, he retreated. A few disciples huddled together and looked nervously at Long Chen.
"Oh, you mean that the three great demon elders' power is even greater than our Heavenly Devil Palace Master's? You can even say such disgraceful words. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'll give you two choices. First: go in and call Murong Yu out. Second: lead the way."
Long Chen walked towards those disciples as he walked. His current strength, even if he did not use the Dragon Soul Transformation, was still the peak of the seventh level of the Heavenly River Tier, surpassing Yang Jun from before. No one in Tri-Demon City was a match for one move from him, so at this moment, all of them retreated in fear.
"Long Chen, you're courting death."
"Yes, our master will kill you."
While being frightened by Long Chen and retreating, they still did not forget to be stubborn.
Long Chen did not bother to pay attention to them. Now he only wanted to go into Tri-Demon City by himself. As long as he saw that Murong Yu was safe and sound, he could leave.
"Long Chen, that's enough."
At this moment, a shout came. Long Chen looked up and saw the three great demon elders coming out. At this time, the first and second demon elders stopped where they were. Only the third demon elder came forward and looked at Long Chen with red eyes. He said bitterly, "Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you. What happened last night is not over yet. Although the Palace Master is here, we are still angry. If you push me too hard, don't blame me for losing control and killing you."
His words were only said in a low voice close to Long Chen, so the other disciples could not hear him clearly.
"I didn't come here to cause trouble. I just wanted to find Murong Yu. Even if she's your disciple, it shouldn't be that I don't even have a chance to see her, right?" Long Chen said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"What if I don't let you see her?" The third demon elder sneered.
"It's very simple. Even if I have to break in, I want to see her."
Long Chen already had a bad feeling in his heart. Judging from the degree of their interception, Murong Yu was really in trouble.
Hearing Long Chen's words, the third demon elder suddenly raised his head and laughed. His laughter shook the field. After a while, he stopped and shouted in the direction of Sanmo City, "Little Yu, come out."
As soon as the third demon elder's voice fell, the figure of Murong Yu appeared in front of Long Chen. She walked out slowly. Long Chen quickly looked at her. Murong Yu was still the same as before. She was tall, graceful, and had a great chest. But for some reason, Long Chen always felt that there seemed to be a kind of indifference in her that kept people thousands of miles away.
"Little Yu, make it clear to this boy. Tell him to get out of here. We are watching from behind."
After the third demon elder sneered, he stepped back and stood next to the first demon elder. He looked at Long Chen with a faint smile.
At this time, Murong Yu walked two meters in front of Long Chen and stood still. She looked at Long Chen with cold eyes.
"Are you all right?"
Seeing that Murong Yu was not hurt, Long Chen was relieved. But he still felt that Murong Yu seemed to be a little unnatural. At least compared with before, she seemed to be a lot more indifferent.
"It's none of your business whether I'm fine or not." Murong Yu suddenly raised her voice. There was hatred in her voice.
Long Chen was a little stunned. But he saw that Murong Yu seemed to be serious.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Those three old guys forced you. They did something shameful."
Long Chen asked in a low voice. He felt that Murong Yu was a little unnatural. It should be because there were three people behind her.
"You're overthinking things. Long Chen, let me tell you, Yang Danfeng and I were childhood sweethearts, but you killed him. My master and the others didn't spread this news, but I know it clearly. So, don't underestimate the hatred I have for you."
At this time, Murong Yu lowered her voice and said to Long Chen. The onlookers could not hear her words, but at least the three demon elders could hear it with their hearing.
What was going on?
Long Chen couldn't wrap his head around it for a while. The change in Murong Yu was too big. Before, even if Long Chen was a fool, he knew how much she abandoned Yang Danfeng. And now she said that they were childhood sweethearts. What kind of bullsh * t was this?
"Long Chen, listen. Before the fight for the Demon Emperor Sword, I have 100% confidence that my strength can reach the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. You'd better be prepared. On that day, I will kill you to avenge Elixir Peak," Murong Yu said in a cold tone, ignoring Long Chen's reaction.
"You …" Long Chen really didn't know what to say at this time, because Murong Yu's behavior was too strange. Long Chen knew that she must have her own difficulties to be like this.
"I won't say anything else. You and I are enemies now, so you'd better not come to me and ruin my reputation. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you." After saying this, Murong Yu didn't give Long Chen any chance. She turned around and left directly.
After Murong Yu left, the Third Demon Elder smiled approvingly, then looked at Long Chen and said, "Boy, did you hear that? Don't be a toad lusting after swan meat. Get out of here. When the fight for the Demon Emperor Sword comes, you will know what to write. Xiaoyu will become a genius warrior at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. In the future, she will definitely reach the Reaching Heaven State. How dare a clown like you show off here."
It was rare that Long Chen didn't quarrel with the Third Demon Elder. At this time, his mind was full of what Murong Yu had just said. Normally, Murong Yu wouldn't act like this, so Long Chen was thinking hard.
"Boy, you have nothing to say," the Third Demon Elder said arrogantly.
"I don't talk to animals."
Long Chen smiled. Before the Third Demon Elder could react, he turned around and left, his mind full of Murong Yu's strange behavior.
"You called me an animal."
The Third Demon Elder suddenly felt like he had swallowed a fly. If he didn't torture Long Chen, he wouldn't be able to spit the fly out.
"Don't make trouble and ruin our plan." The First Demon Elder scolded softly.
The Third Demon Elder was very satisfied with Murong Yu's performance today. After Long Chen left, they also left. After they left, the disciples looked at each other. One of them said, "I didn't hear it wrong, did I? It seems that the Third Demon Elder said that Xiaoyu is about to reach the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier."
"From his tone, it seems that he is very sure. What he is sure of must be right," another disciple said.
"Gosh, doesn't he beat Senior Brother Yang Danfeng?"
"Yes, but why didn't I see Senior Brother Yang Danfeng today?"
"Maybe he is in closed-door training, preparing to break through to the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. But with Senior Sister Murong, the Demon Emperor Sword will definitely belong to our Third Demon City."
