Chapter 1539 Chapter 1539: Lied
The Demon Princess jumped down where Long Chen came out of, barely missing a lightning bolt that was about to fall on her.
She landed inside the empty chamber, looking at her surroundings. There were no scriptures she could find here. She continued her search and entered the cave that was connected to the hall.
On the other end of the cave, there was the Maze of Death. But before that maze, there was an empty space where a manâs shriveled-up body was lying lifeless. A young girl was sitting before the body, crying.
Baihu Yang had also arrived here. He and the Royal Guards couldnât believe that the frail and lifeless body belonged to the White Tiger King. Unfortunately, they couldnât deny that either. It was evident that it was his body.
Baihu Yang placed his hand on his sobbing sisterâs shoulders.
Ling looked up. Finding a family face, she stood up and embraced her brother. Her sobbing only intensified. âItâs all my fault! All my fault!â
âCalm down. Tell me what happened. Your brother is still alive! I wonât let anyone hurt you! Youâre safe! Tell me, who did it?? Iâll find them, and Iâll make them pay!â
âYou canât. Itâs impossible. Even father couldnâtâŠâ Ling still remembered how weak her father was before that Spirit who occupied Long Chenâs body. âIf you go after him, heâll kill you as well!â
âWho? Who will? Tell me everything! What happened here? Also, how was fatherâs Godly Core was stolen? The Black Tortoise Clan is outside.? If Iâm weak, we can take their help! We must retrieve the Godbeast Core! Without that, our Bloodline will be the weakest God Beast Bloodline!â
Baihu Yang kept asking his sister about what happened here, but his sister was in such a shock that she found it hard to even speak properly.
âAlright. Donât speak. Just relax. Forget everything! Just relax for now. Here, drink something.â
He gave some water to his sister, realizing that she couldnât answer like that. Until she was calmer, she couldnât answer.
âTake the body of father,â he commanded the Royal Guards.
The guards picked up the body and wrapped it in a piece of cloth firmly before keeping it in the Spatial Realm where it could be more secure.
Baihu Ling drank the water. Her breathing had finally started to calm down as she came out of her phase in the presence of her brother. She still had tears in her eyes, but she looked better than before.
Baihu Yang sat beside his sister with his back resting against the wall. âFeeling better?â
Ling nodded. âBrother, we forever lost FatherâŠâ
âI know. Weâll get through this together. But first, I need to know what happened. Can you tell me how you ended up in this situation?â
âI arrived with father whenâŠâ
Ling started talking about how she ended up here. She explained everything from falling into the Maze to meeting Long Chen.
âHe was brought here by the DragonsâŠâ
Even though Baihu Yang knew that Long Chen wasnât with the Dragons and that he lied, he didnât interfere in the explanation.
He let Ling continue. Getting answers was more important.
Inside the cave, the Demon Princess also arrived. She heard the story of Ling as well, wondering if she had some answers as to where those scriptures were.
âFather, Long Chen, the girl, and I arrived here, stepping out of the maze. There were two statues right there when we came. And thenâŠâ
She talked about how the conflict between her father and Long Chen began when Long Chen tried to stop him from touching the Statue. She also talked about how Long Chen accidentally fell on her, engaging their father even more.
She described the battle and then one of the statues breaking.
âThat spiritâs aura⊠It even made my ring break. That spirit occupied Long Chenâs body. It was so strong. Father was helpless as he was killed, and his Godbeast Core was stolenâŠâ
âSo Long Chen did it! That bastard! Youâre not the reason father is dead; he is! Heâs the treasure fatherâs Soul Weapon was trapped in the Maze of Death! If it wasnât, Father couldâve fought back! That bastard!â
âI will kill that bastard!â
âBrother, he isnât at fault. He didnât want the statue to break. Itâs our fault. He was forced to come to this world, and then he was attacked by us. And now heâs also suffering as itâs his body thatâs occupied. Even if you kill him, that evil spirit will just possess someone else!â
Even though her father had been killed in Long Chenâs hands, Ling still didnât feel that it was right for them to kill Long Chen, especially when he didnât want it. He was just here to stop a Demon!
âYou naive girl, Long Chen lied to you! He used you! He wasnât brought here by the Dragons! The people who you claimed died in the town? They couldnât have been killed by the Dragons since Dragons didnât come. They were killed by Long Chen!â
âHe killed them, and then he used you. He knew if he was caught here, he was going to be killed, so he lied about his identity and used you to get in fatherâs good books!â
âHow do you know that?â Ling asked, grimacing.
âBecause she is a guest of the Black Tortoise Clan. He was also in the Ancestral Temple with me. Apparently, he was trapped here, and he came to our world from there. The Black Tortoise Clanâs Patriarch and Zhu Chang came themselves to bring Long Chen back! He had no relationship with the Dragons!â
âFather was right! That bastard was using you! And who knows, maybe freeing that Demon was also his plan? Even if the Demon is occupying his body, itâs him who is becoming stronger! His story about coming here to stop a man from waking up?â
âItâs a bunch of lies! Iâm coming from there! There was no body or anything that could hint at someone staying there! The only thing thatâs worth importance here are the Two Statues, and he came here for them! That bastard! I will kill him!â
Baihu Yang made a promise to himself that he was going to kill Long Chen, no matter what it took. It was only after killing Long Chen that he could take back the Godbeast Core.
While he made up his mind, the Demon Princess stood in the back, stunned. So there were no scriptures here! Instead, it was the Spirit who knew those skills. She also felt that maybe that spirit belonged to one of her ancestors since they knew those skills.
