Chapter 1504 1504
âIs that so? If the Dragon King really had such a noble mission, why didnât he tell my father about it? Why did he come sneakily and even hurt our people in the process? If that man was really so threatening, why did the Dragon King have to hide it? In reality, he is just after the Flame of Origin. I know. That could be the only reason why he didnât tell my father!â The Princess retorted.
âThat, I know the answer of. I was right there when someone asked this exact question to him after he declared this mission.â Long Chen quickly thought of an answer. In such matters, his mind was faster than anything. When he was in the mood to bluff, he could make solid reasoning out of nowhere.
âSo what reason did he give?â The Princess asked.
âHe said he was a proud Dragon. What would the world think if he needed the help of another God Beast King to kill a sleeping enemy? He said it would be insulting for him to work with someone else for it when he could finish it himself! And thatâs why he decided to come alone.â
âAs for why he killed your people, itâs because they recognized them. The Dragon King didnât want your father to know, or he was going to be back to square one with cooperation between the two sides which he didnât want.â
Even Xun was surprised as she heard what Long Chen was saying. That man, he truly was good at coming up with lies.
All Long Chen knew about the Dragon King was that he was an arrogant person who believed he was the best. Using that personality trait, Long Chen made up a story.
âThatâŠâ
Even the White Tiger Princess couldnât say that the story didnât make sense. It was perfectly plausible for this story to be true. In fact, it even made sense with how much he knew the Dragon King.
âDo you really not know about the person who sleeps here? You know nothing of this maze or its history?â Long Chen asked.
The woman blankly shook her head. âHow can I believe you about that person sleeping here? Why should I believe you?â
âYou donât have to believe me. You can see with your own eyes. Even though I lost the Dragon King, I still want to get out of this maze and reach that man. A man like that can be a danger to the entire universe after all,â Long Chen explained. âYou can accompany me. When you see the coffin of that man, youâll believe me yourself.â
âSo, youâre saying I should work with you?â
âIf you donât want to work with me, you can go in the direction you were going. I wonât stop you.â Long Chen stepped aside, clearing the path. âBut before you leave, I must tell you something. You are going in the wrong direction. The real exit is through the opposite direction. Thatâs where we were heading.â
âAnd how do you know that? How do you know where the real exit is?â The woman asked, rolling her eyes.
âBecause we have a way to find a way out. We know what person sleeps here, so we obviously knew what artifacts he couldâve used as traps. So we came prepared. The Maze of Death, we can clear it,â Long Chen explained. âBut if you think you can do it alone and donât need our help, you can go ahead. As I said before, I wonât stop you.â
âBy the way, without our help, this maze will be impossible to clear. This is a maze which even the Ice Phoenix Queen couldnât clear in her time. She died in this maze. It was the place where you took her last breath. Despite so much strength, she couldnât get out. You think you can?â
Long Chen rolled his eyes as he gazed at the woman as if he was looking at an idiot.
He later started telling her everything he knew about this maze, regarding a billion choices and the dead ends. He didnât know why this woman was so ignorant about it though.
A godly beast had died inside this artifact. Shouldnât more and more people know about it? In any case, he was sure that her father must know. He was the King, after all. If even he didnât know, then this entire clan was too useless, he thought.
The more Long Chen told the woman about this place, the more she was worried. This place⊠It sounded really dangerous. She didnât know if she could trust Long Chen or not about this story, but she knew it was better to believe his story than not to believe it and face a dead end later.
She wasnât going to lose anything if she believed his story. However, if she didnât, and she turned out to be wrong, the chances of death were really high.
Long Chen took a deep breath, sighing. âSo, are you going to come with us or not?â
âI will come with you to test your theory. However, if I find out that youâve been lying to me about this place or that mysterious man, youâll be the first one to die at my hands!â The woman threatened Long Chen, even though she agreed.
âAs you wish, Princess.â Long Chen turned his back on the lady, flashing a sly smile towards Xun, which the Princess couldnât see.
He went to Terra, who was sitting with the support of the wall. âHow are you feeling now?â
âIâm feeling fine. Just a little tired, but I can continue,â Terra answered. âBy the way, is that woman going to work with us now?â
âYeah, she is really sorry about what she did. She thought you were an enemy. She even told me to say sorry to you,â Long Chen said to make Terra feel somewhat better. In any case, he was sure that the woman wasnât actually going to say sorry ever.
However, it was important for him that the woman stayed with them. She was their shield against the White Tiger King. Moreover, if he could share this information about a deadly being sleeping here, the chances of the White Tiger King accidentally waking Tian Shen up were going to go really down. It was an almost perfect situation for him.
With Terra ready to continue, Long Chen helped Terra up. He walked side by side with Terra as he continued advancing ahead. Xun and the White Tiger Princess joined the two of them.
âSo, Princess, itâs your first time working with a Demon?â Long Chen asked, walking in the long pathway.
âHow did you know Iâm a Princess?â The Princess asked as she glared at Long Chen.
