Long Chen felt as though he was walking through a spatial tunnel. It was pitch-black in front of him and he couldn't see the end.
The six members of the Demon Race walked in front while Long Chen's group of three followed behind. At this moment, Su Yan was tightly holding onto Long Chen's arm. Her petite body was hiding behind Long Chen's back. There was a trace of fear and confusion on her face. Only when she was by Long Chen's side would she feel a little safer.
"Big Brother, I'm scared, so scared …"
"Be good, Yan 'er. We'll leave this place soon. I'll think of something when the time comes," Long Chen whispered in her ear. Then, he and Mo Xiaolang looked at each other.
Long Chen was definitely not willing to let Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon be taken away just like that. Therefore, he planned to wait until they reached the three Emperor Regions and immediately place Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon in the Taixu Realm. Then, he would use the Blood Escape Technique to see if he could take Mo Xiaolang away.
This was just a risky attempt. Whether he would succeed or not depended on the situation.
"If we walk, we'll never reach the end. Let's split up three people to carry the three little fellows. Let's move forward at full speed. If we're too tired, we'll swap people." After walking in the deep tunnel for a while, Hong Ying suddenly said.
Her decision was quickly approved by everyone. Three members of the Demon Race came over and held onto the arms of Long Chen and the others. Instantly, the three of them were brought in the direction of the Emperor Regions. The wind whistled and the surroundings fell into complete darkness and dead silence.
The speed of the Demon Race seemed to have exceeded Long Chen's understanding. Long Chen couldn't unleash this speed at all.
Long Chen discovered that he was like a blind man as he hurried on his way.
There was dead silence all around and only the whistling of the wind could be heard.
This feeling was a little torturous.
Long Chen decided to ponder about martial arts. Time flew by quickly. About half a month had passed. Long Chen guessed that they were almost at the Emperor Regions.
The six demons who had been hurrying along were now panting a little.
"We're almost there. There's no need to bring them along. Let's take our time. We have to recover all our strength before we arrive. After all, it'll be troublesome if we're discovered by the humans while we're walking in the Serene Hell Prefecture, especially the Official Army of the Serene Hell Prefecture," Tian Kun from the Wolf Clan said solemnly.
"Official Army? Haha, is that the Serene Hell Army? I'll kill as many as they come," Tian Kun from the Northern Snake Clan said with a smile.
"Those are normal soldiers. Those generals, especially god rank generals, aren't people we can deal with." Tian Kun corrected him.
Among the six demons, Tian Kun was the calmest.
From their conversation, Long Chen remembered a few things. After they left this place, they should go to a place called the Serene Hell Prefecture. The Official Army of the Serene Hell Prefecture was called the Serene Hell Army, and they were very difficult to deal with.
"Big Brother."
When the girl named Hong Ying let go of Soyeon, Soyeon hurriedly moved to Long Chen's side and looked at the other demons in awe. Her eyes were trembling. The journey had scared her quite a bit.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Long Chen stroked the girl's long hair affectionately. She would probably feel more at ease if he did that.
"Big Brother, let's go out quickly," Mo Xiaolang reminded.
"I know."
Going out meant that they would have to take another risk.
For Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon, going to the Desolate Emperor's Domain meant that they would have a brighter future. For example, Mo Xiaolang could be groomed and his strength would quickly surpass Long Chen's. However, after spending so much time together, who would be willing to let these demons control their lives?
Therefore, Long Chen decided that if he could, he would definitely take Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon away. If he couldn't, then it was fate. He only hoped that the next time they met, Mo Xiaolang would really become very, very strong.
All of a sudden, Long Chen realized that there was really a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
"We're really here."
Hong Ying from the Scarlet Flame Tree Race stretched her waist, revealing the perfect curves of a woman. She looked enviously at the demons behind her. Hong Ying was the only female among the six demons.
The time to test them had arrived. However, Long Chen's heart was as calm as still water. He held Mo Xiaolang's and Soyeon's arms with his left and right hands, waiting for the moment they walked out of the tunnel to execute the Blood Escape Technique.
They slowly approached.
The white light in front of them was getting closer and bigger.
"Damn it, this damned Serene Hell Prefecture is like hell. Even the sky is dark green. What the hell? It's not even as beautiful as my Desolate Emperor's Domain," Hong Ying complained as she walked in front.
The closer they got to the light, the more Long Chen could see the outside world. This was the place where he had dreamed of reaching, the place where he would fulfill his promise. He had finally arrived today.
At this moment, Long Chen wasn't in the mood to observe these things.
"We're finally out."
Even the few demons from the Demon Race felt a little uncomfortable after staying in the deep tunnel for such a long time. Now that they were out of the tunnel, they felt a little refreshed.
At that moment, Long Chen was the last to step out of the tunnel.
"Let's go."
Immediately, Long Chen kept Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon in the Great Void Realm. Then, he chose a direction and executed the Blood Escape Technique. He flew towards one of the directions in front of all the powerful demons. The Blood Escape Technique was a very useful escape technique.
This ray of blood light was Long Chen's final struggle.
"This kid is indeed up to something."
The six demons smirked. When Long Chen moved, they all unleashed their speed and chased after Long Chen frantically. Although Long Chen's speed was only slightly faster than their ninth-grade Royal Level speed when he used the Blood Escape Technique, their speed was only slightly faster than theirs.
However, Long Chen's Blood Escape Technique could only maintain a distance of five kilometers.
What Long Chen didn't know was that the demons had been watching him for a long time. Otherwise, if Long Chen had suddenly escaped, they might not have been able to catch up with Long Chen.
But now …
The six demons were extremely fast, especially Tian Kun from the Wolf Race, who turned into a bolt of lightning and caught up with Long Chen's Blood Escape Technique. Just as Long Chen was about to traverse the distance of five kilometers, he instantly caught up with Long Chen and stood in front of Long Chen.
"Trying to escape? It's not that easy."
Crackle. Under Tian Kun's control, a deep purple electric net completely trapped Long Chen.
Only a moment had passed from the moment he escaped using the Blood Escape Technique to the moment he was finally stopped.
Long Chen's plan had failed.
Long Chen was a very decisive person. He had already thought things through and had a plan for this outcome. If he really couldn't escape, then he would follow the arrangements of fate. He wasn't strong enough, so he didn't have the right to decide his own future.
In order to prevent the Great Void Realm from being discovered, he let Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon come out of the Great Void Realm in advance. When Tian Kun used the electric net to trap him, Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon were already standing beside him.
The others also rushed over in a short time.
"Competing with the Lightning Soul Chasing Wolf Tribe in terms of speed? What a joke." Hong Ying let Tian Kun remove the electric net and giggled as she looked at Long Chen.
"Xiao Lang, Yan 'er, I'm sorry. This is the result, and I can't change it. We will definitely meet again in the future," Long Chen said after taking a deep breath.
At the same time, anger was accumulating in his heart.
"Don't make it sound like we're going to be separated forever. We're not trying to harm these two little fellows. We're just sending them to a place that's more suitable for them to develop," Tian Kun said coldly, as if he had seen through Long Chen's thoughts.
Long Chen thought about it and understood.
"They're right. Xiao Lang, Yan 'er, there's no future if you follow me. I have my own things to do in the Imperial Region. The dangers are far beyond your imagination. You should go to the Demon Clan. At least it's much safer than following me. When I'm strong enough, I'll look for you. Remember this is my promise."
Long Chen patted the shoulders of the two of them and said.
Mo Xiaolang took a deep breath and said, "Big Brother, I know how you feel. I, Mo Xiaolang, swear here that no matter what happens in the future, you'll always be my, Mo Xiaolang's, closest brother. One day, we'll go through life and death together. You're a genius, and I'll work hard. The next time we meet, I, Mo Xiaolang, won't be weaker than you."
"Deal." Long Chen punched him and laughed loudly.
"Big Brother …" Soyeon called out timidly.
"Yan 'er, you should become stronger by yourself. I'll definitely visit you." Although Long Chen was worried about this little girl, he had no choice.
"Xiao Lang, I'll leave Yan 'er to you."
The three of them looked at each other again.
Under the fiery gazes of the six Demon Race experts, Long Chen glanced at them and said coldly, "I know that you actually want to kill me, but because of the two of them, you don't want to kill me and ruin your relationship with Xiao Lang and Yan 'er. But no matter what, I have to warn you, don't underestimate me, Long Chen. If I find out that my brother and my sister have discovered something, I'll exterminate your race as the price. Goodbye."
Long Chen's decisiveness made him not want to stay here for even a moment. After saying this, he resolutely turned around and left, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Looking at the desolate back of the departing figure, Soyeon sobbed in Mo Xiaolang's arms. Even the usually cold Mo Xiaolang had tears on his face. This time, their separation was completely different from the Young Lord of the God Race. This time, they didn't even know if they would have the chance to meet again.
