Chapter 1520: 1520
Demonic Princess brought her Sword down to kill the clone of Long Chen, who had no way of escape at the moment.
He could only close his eyes.
Clank~
The sword was just about to kill Long Chen when a weapon came out of nowhere and blocked the sword.
The Demon Princess gazed at the spear which had blocked her attack. âWhy are you stopping me from killing this liar! He used me and the Demon Empire by lying to us! He almost caused a war that killed millions of our people!â
âI know what he did, and he certainly deserves punishment, but I canât allow you to kill him. Now that the other lady is dead, only this guy knows where they are keeping the real Long Chen. We canât kill him yet,â Zhu Chang chimed in.
The Demon Princess stepped back. Even though she was angry, she knew that was right. Moreover, she was on their turf; even to have her revenge, she needed their permission.
âFine. You get your answers, and after that, Iâll kill him. And Iâll also issue a formal apology from the Demon Realm for our mistake.â The Demonic Princess respectfully stated.
Zhu Chang agreed.
However, right then, Long Chen chimed in. âI know where the real Long Chen is, but I will only tell you if you promise that I wonât be killed. Youâll ensure my safety for as long as I live!â
He had also heard their conversation and knew what they were talking about. If he answered them, he was going to be killed, but if he didnât answer, he was going to be brutally tortured for answers. The only path to safety was to get Zhu Changâs promise to his safety. Then, even the Demon Princess couldnât hurt him.
âEnsuring your safety for a hundred years, I canât promise that. I canât be your bodyguard, but if you answer me, I can promise you that no one from the Black Tortoise Realm will even think about killing you. We will forgive you,â Zhu Chang responded.
âWhat is your forgiveness when she is there as well? Even if you forgive me, she will kill me. If Iâm to die anyway, why would I tell you anything?â Long Chen inquired lazily. âI better die without answering in that case.â
âWhat if I made her promise that she will also forgive you? The Demon Realm wonât look to hurt you either, and weâll allow you to leave?â Zhu Chang inquired. âThatâs my best offer.â
âCan you make her promise that? The Demon Realm will forgive my lies?â Long Chen asked.
Zhu Chang gazed at the Demonic Princess. âCan you please forgive him for what he did? If you do, I wonât ask for an official apology from the Demon Realm. You forgive his mistake, and we will forgive yours.â
The Demon Princess was really angry at Long Chen for making a fool of them and wanted to kill him, but the offer she Received in exchange wasnât bad. Issuing an apology from her Empire was bad for their dignity in a lot of ways, so if she could avoid it, she wanted to take that offer, even if it meant forgiving that bastard.
Moreover, things didnât go too far, so it wasnât that bad. Fortunately, all the misunderstanding was gone.
After a long time, she agreed to the offer. âFine. To help you, and as an apology, I will listen to you this time and forgive this bastard for lying to us. The Demon Realm wonât look for him and wonât raise this issue again. I, as the Princess of the Demon Realm, pardon him for lying to us.â
Zhu Chang nodded in satisfaction. âThank you for being understanding.â
He also declared that he was forgiving this guy and that they werenât going to punish him. He was forgiven for his crimes.
âNow tell me where the real Long Chen is. After we find him, we will send you anywhere in the universe you want to go. Youâll be a free man. Itâs my word as the Prince of the Black Tortoise Clan!â Zhu Chang let out.
Long Chen sighed in relief. He had narrowly escaped death. And these people didnât know that he had come here for Long Chen. They still thought he was here for God Core, so he was safe.
After being freed, he could stop thinking about killing Long Chen and leave to roam the infinite world now that he wasnât sealed in that small world. He still had anger toward Long Chen for leaving him in the sealed world, but he was going to forget that man and live his life anew. It was better than dying, after all.
He stood up now that he was pardoned and patted his clothes. âThatâs good. Iâll help you now, and you must keep your promise then,â
âWe will!â
âThe Real Long Chen is in the White Tiger Realm, trapped inside a tomb. We donât have him in a coma. The Immortal Queen lied about that part. Everything else was true though.â
âIf you donât have Long Chen, how do you have his memories?â Zhu Chang inquired.
âBecause Iâm his clone that he made a long time ago and left on a sealed world to rule over it. After I left the world, I synced my memories with his and saw everything about this place. Thatâs when we made this plan. I donât have him, but I do know where he is now,â Long Chen explained.
âI can take you to the entrance of that tomb, but you canât go inside. Only his blood and a key can open that tomb. Despite being a clone, I donât share his blood, so I canât open the tomb.â
âHow do we know you arenât lying?â The Demon Princess asked again.
âBecause Iâm not. I also know that the White Tiger King is inside that Tomb with his daughter for some reason as well. If Iâm not telling the truth, how am I supposed to know that?â Long Chen asked before turning to the Patriarch. âYou can go to the White Tiger Clan and confirm if you doubt me. You should be able to.â
âWhite Tiger King went inside a tomb personally? Whatâs inside the Tomb?â The Patriarch asked.
âInside the Tomb? Inside that place sleeps the nightmares of Long Chen,â Long Chen answered. âOr at least thatâs what Long Chen thinks. I donât know if heâs right or not, but if heâs right, I doubt heâll come back alive. The world might change forever as well. But it doesnât have anything to do with me. Since I donât share his blood, I donât have to worry about all that.â
