Chapter 393 - Return

Murong Yu was the savior of his stepfather, and also one of his benefactors. Even though his relationship with her wasn’t as deep as his relationship with Ling Xi, he would treat her as a friend no matter how coldly she treated him.

Long Chen had always been appreciative of his friends, and he would help them back if he could. Murong Yu was an important benefactor, so he could never abandon her. Seeing her in so much pain, Long Chen’s eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his fists. He swore that if she died here, he would kill the three Demon Elders with his bare hands!

It was clear that they were the culprits!

“Xiao Xi, how’s it going?” Long Chen was anxious.

Xiao Xi did not answer him as she was focused on treating Murong Yu. Long Chen dared not ask her any more questions, fearing he’d distract her. He looked at them and felt like a boulder was weighing down his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

After some time, he saw Ling Xi’s face relax, and Long Chen thought Murong Yu was saved. “Xiao Xi?”

“I’ve succeeded, but don’t talk right now or you will startle it,” she told him before focusing on controlling the worm.

While she did that, Long Chen saw that Murong Yu was no longer in pain. It seemed that the worm was no longer eating at her heart and she had stopped screaming. Still, her face was pale and covered in sweat.

Long Chen could only see her eyes because the rest of her face was covered in a veil.

He sighed in relief after seeing that she was no longer in danger. Since the worm had only started attacking her heart recently, she should be able to recover as long as she could get the worm out and take in some spiritual herbs.

Long Chen stared nervously at Ling Xi slowly moving above Murong Yu’s body. She was at the chest and slowly approaching the throat. Ling Xi took a deep breath and never stopped when she reached the throat.

A black worm slowly crawled out of Murong Yu’s mouth. Long Chen was disgusted to see such a massive insect crawling out of her, and his hatred for the three Demon Elders grew. How could they use such a technique on her?! He had never met anyone who would treat their disciples like that!

Long Chen was even more inclined to kill the three Demon Elders now!

When the worm crawled out, Ling Xi shot out a small amount of Sword Qi and killed it. Long Chen quickly picked it up and threw it onto the ground before stomping it into a paste.

“What a disgusting thing!”

After dealing with the Black Yin Worm, Long Chen picked Murong Yu up. Thankfully, she still had a little bit of consciousness left. Long Chen took out the best spiritual herbs he had, including some of the advanced Earth-tier ones like the White Lotus Heart.

“You once used a White Lotus Heart to save my life, so I will use the same to save yours. Refine it,” Long Chen whispered to her.

He crushed the White Lotus Heart and placed it in her mouth. The spiritual herb transformed into a flow of clean energy that slowly healed her bitten heart. The heart was a fragile organ, and even Murong Yu needed a lot of time to heal it since her consciousness was weak.

Ling Xi pouted when she saw Long Chen resting Murong Yu’s head on his lap. But there was nothing wrong with it. Not only was Murong Yu barely conscious, she was also heavily injured, so Ling Xi focused her dissatisfaction on the Three Demon Elders instead. “Those three bastards are vile! To think that they would use such a disgusting thing on their own disciple. They probably placed it in her body not too long ago.”

“Xiao Xi, what was that thing?” Long Chen suppressed his anger to remain calm.

“It’s a type of worm that people use for torture. They use a special technique to hypnotize and control the worm. The Demon Elders must’ve implanted it into her body and told her to either obtain the Demon Emperor Sword or die. If she failed, it would activate and eat her heart. It’s probably the reason why she was so cold towards you. She knew that she would die if she couldn’t kill you.”

Ling Xi pitied Murong Yu. She now felt her heart ache when she thought about the situation Murong Yu was in.

“It’s a pity she has such awful masters ...”

“If it wasn’t for you, she would be dead already.” Long Chen growled. He hated the three Demon Elders and wanted to kill them.

“Thankfully, nothing happened ...” Ling Xi shook her head.

Murong Yu had finished refining the White Lotus Heart and would soon regain consciousness.

Long Chen could get out as long as he cut the space with the Demon Emperor Sword, but he wasn’t in a hurry. Murong Yu’s injuries were more important.

“Her attitude was different when I went to Three Demons City. The worm was probably inside her by then. She helped me, but I didn’t manage to protect her ...”

“Brother Chen, you don’t have to blame yourself. No one could’ve guessed that there was such a vile thing inside her. Thankfully, she is fine.”

Murong Yu’s injury was slowly healing. Ling Xi thought that it would be troublesome to explain if Murong Yu woke up and saw her in that state, so she decided to return to the sword while Long Chen was researching the Demon Emperor Sword Technique.

The Heaven-tier martial technique gave him what he needed, a strong offensive technique. His strongest techniques used to be the Azure Dragon Technique as well as the Shadow Sword Technique that Ling Xi had taught him. Long Chen knew that he couldn’t win against the imperial family with just the Shadow Sword Technique.

That was why he needed to cultivate the Demon Emperor Sword Technique as soon as possible.

Time slowly passed. On the other side of the space, six hours had gone by. Normally, it wouldn’t take so long to fight the two battles, so Zhao Qingyun was worried.

He was sitting at the highest seat while staring at the black stone. The results would be known the moment the stone exploded, but it hadn’t exploded after such a long time.

Zhao Qingyun was patient, but the other disciples weren’t. They started discussing what was happening inside.

“Another two hours have passed. What is going on? The winner should have been decided by now, right?”

“I don’t know what’s happening inside either, but six hours is too long. Did something happen to them?”

“Impossible! Senior Murong is at the Ninth River Stage. How could anything happen to her? If anything, Long Chen is the one who would suffer! I think Senior Murong is holding the Demon Emperor Sword!”

“Of course! Her strength is on par with the three Demon Elders! She’s a genius!”

The Three Demon Elders were happy about the compliments, but they were still worried because the results were not announced yet.

“Brother, what do you think it’s happening? With our guidance, she should have been able to finish the first trial in two hours. It can’t be that she's still fighting Long Chen.”

“I don’t know either. Something must’ve gone wrong ...” The First Demon Elder frowned.

“Brother, do you think the Black Yin Worm activated?” The Second Demon Elder was worried.

“Xiaoyu might be interested in him, but she would never risk her family for him. Also, you know what kind of vile creature the Black Yin Worm is. You need to have trust in her.” The First Demon Elder was confident.

“But what if Long Chen is stronger than her?” The Second Demon Elder was still worried. Murong Yu was her disciple after all.

“You are thinking too much, Second Sister. She’s already at the same level as us, the Ninth River Stage! Do you think Long Chen could stand up to us?” The Third Demon Elder chuckled.

“Let’s just wait until the results are announced.”

Everyone continued waiting, and the anxiety slowly built up. It was already past afternoon, but the contestants still weren’t out. The disciples couldn’t wait any longer; even the Three Demon Elders were perplexed at what was happening. The First Demon Elder asked, “Palace Master, why aren’t they out yet? Did something happen?”

Zhao Qingyun was clueless too. He shook his head powerlessly. “We can only wait. I don’t know what is happening. If you can’t wait anymore, you can head home first ...”

Just then, the black stone exploded!
