Chapter 5807: The Request
Evil dragons intertwined densely, like an endless mass of vengeful spirits devouring each other, tearing into one another with a ferocity that made one's skin crawl.
These dragon-formed cocoons appeared to be ethereal at times, and at others, they solidified, resembling a pulsating heart. You could faintly discern a blood-like flow encircling the Dragon Bone Evil Moon.
The Dragon Bone Evil Moon stood tall in the center of this enormous cocoon, with runes all over its body continuously pulsating, in perfect sync with the cocoon.
Within the cocoon, an aura of malevolence burned, and one could faintly see black flames surging. In this state, the Dragon Bone Evil Moon seemed even more savage and bloodthirsty.
"Damn, this is deceiving."
Seeing the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in this state, Long Chen couldn't help but curse. Weren't they supposed to use it even while in seclusion? Now, with the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in this condition, Long Chen had no way of utilizing it. Doing so would seriously impact its progress.
"Long Chen..."
At this moment, the powerful members of the Purple Blood Clan gathered around. Even Luo Yanfeng and the others, who had been close to Long Chen, now approached him with caution.
There was no way around it. Initially, they had seen Long Chen as a weak brother and felt the need to protect him. Later, they recognized his strength and didn't mind his patience in teaching them. After the Bi family's sneak attack and Long Chen's subsequent vengeance, they had witnessed Long Chen's power.
With each display of Long Chen's strength, they realized the growing gap between themselves and him. It wasn't until just now, when Long Chen single-handedly annihilated the entire demon army, that they truly understood the immense disparity. This gap made them revere Long Chen and feel somewhat estranged from him.
They couldn't believe that such a terrifying monster was their brother. Now, as Luo Yanfeng and the others looked at Long Chen, their expressions had changed. Admiration mixed with awe, and a sense of distance crept in.
There was no way around it. They had all been sparrows before, and now Long Chen had transformed into a roc. How could they possibly compare?
Long Chen noticed their expressions and couldn't help but laugh, patting Luo Yanfeng's shoulder with force. "Yanfeng, don't be discouraged. Your bloodline is awakening, and you will definitely get stronger. Someday, you'll be just like me."
"Really?" Luo Yanfeng and the others were excited.
"Of course. I've never been wrong with my judgments." Long Chen said seriously.
Hearing Long Chen's words, everyone became incredibly excited. They knew that Long Chen's words were meant to encourage them, but they still believed in him. After all, they had been personally guided by Long Chen. If they didn't excel in the future, how could they face Long Chen?
Long Chen looked at them, and his expression gradually turned serious. "Yanfeng, Jiang, Zimo, and Yingsister, in the future, the younger generation of the Luo family will depend on you. Although the crisis with the demon clan is over, and the Bi family's grudges have been settled, it doesn't mean we can relax from now on. When we enter Emperor's Mountain, countless branches of the Purple Blood Clan will converge, but resources will be limited. We will inevitably face more rigorous tests and challenges, possibly even encountering more cunning and ruthless opponents than the Bi family. For the honor of our people, the safety of our families, and to live with dignity, you must work even harder than before and give it your all."
"You can rest assured, we won't slack off. Otherwise, we wouldn't deserve to be your brothers," Luo Yanfeng said, clenching his fist.
To be Long Chen's brother, one must possess that level of strength; otherwise, it would only tarnish Long Chen's reputation. In their hearts, Long Chen was like a god-like figure, and they would never allow anything to compromise that image.
"Long Chen, are you leaving us?" Luo Ying quivered as she sensed the underlying meaning in Long Chen's words.
"I still have many important things to do, but don't worry. We share the same purple blood running through our veins, so we will definitely meet again. I believe it won't be too long, and when that day comes, I hope you'll make me proud," Long Chen smiled.
"Don't worry; we will never let you down," Luo Jiang and the others said loudly.
Long Chen nodded. In reality, Long Chen had already laid the foundation for Luo Yanfeng and the others. They were now embarking on their own paths of cultivation. This journey couldn't be guided by outsiders; it had to be self-driven. Long Chen believed that after the external battles with the demon clan and the internal conflict with the Bi family, they had transformed from delicate flowers in a greenhouse into hardy trees. They were no longer naive, weak, or indecisive but were gradually growing into true warriors.
"Are you really leaving now?" Luo Zichuan was also surprised. After a major battle, Long Chen should have taken some time to recuperate. Leaving right now was quite dangerous. The Nine Heavens were open, and numerous terrifying experts were waking up like dormant beasts, gradually emerging into the world.
Although Long Chen was powerful enough to slaughter mid-stage God Emperors and effortlessly crush early-stage God Emperors, it didn't mean he could dominate the entire God Emperor realm. Both the demon clan's God Emperors and the Purple Blood Clan's God Emperors were bred like hothouse flowers to preserve their pure bloodlines. They might have high realms but not necessarily matching strength. The demon clan's powerful individuals had even been weakened by the Seal of Demon Suppression, making them vulnerable. Not all small worlds were safe. Some had extremely harsh living conditions, and the inhabitants had to practice relentlessly to survive.
Experts from such small worlds were many times stronger than those from the demon clan's lairs or the Purple Blood Clan's branches. So, Long Chen was concerned about his safety.
Long Chen looked at Luo Zichuan and smiled. "I do need to go. Destiny is like a relentless whip, constantly lashing at me from behind. If I slow down, my behind will get torn up."
Hearing Long Chen's analogy, Luo Zichuan couldn't help but laugh, though his smile carried a hint of bitterness. This state of mind could only be understood by him. Long Chen, at such a young age, could speak such words, indicating that he had experienced even more pain than Luo Zichuan. He sighed inwardly, knowing that people only saw Long Chen's boundless glory but not the suffering and helplessness hidden behind it.
"Grandfather, this thing hasn't been used, so I'll leave it to you," Long Chen said as he handed the charged dagger from the demon clan to Luo Zichuan. This item was incredibly powerful and uncontrollable. Long Chen had never found a suitable opportunity to use it. Perhaps it might come in handy for his grandfather. After all, detonating it could kill even a late-stage God Emperor on the spot.
Thankfully, Ying Wudao had stolen this treasure from the demon clan. If the demon clan had used it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Grand Elder, there's one last thing I'd like to ask you," Long Chen said after giving the dagger to Luo Zichuan, his expression becoming more solemn.
