Rise of the Demon God

"Did something terrible happen to him for him to be in a bad mood? Understanding the urgency, he didn't ask questions and started getting bigger. He could ask more and also get an apology when Long Chen was calm. 

At the moment, he wanted to be somewhat considerate.

"Look, there!"

As Long Chen was focusing on the Snake Monarch, a group of people noticed Long Chen. 

They were wearing a beautiful robe that had a snake symbol as well. It was apparent that they were from the same place as the people Long Chen had killed to save the girl. 

"Stop right there. Don't dare to move and answer our questions!"

The person leading the ground was a Peak Earth Realm Cultivator who commanded Long Chen as if it was Long Chen's duty to listen to him. 

"In a hurry. I don't have time to kill you. Scram from here," Long Chen flew into the air and landed on the giant snake that was flying above him. 

The snake left, carrying Long Chen with it. 

The group of people that had just scolded Long Chen were left behind, shivering. As they saw Long Chen fly, they had realized that this man was none other than a Heaven Realm Cultivator?

Despite being measly Earth realm Cultivators, they had dared to threaten a Heaven Realm Cultivator?

Most of them dropped to the ground as their knees grew weak. 

"We were so close to death. We're lucky he was in a hurry. Or we might have been lying dead as well," the Leader of the ground muttered as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. 

"The others must have been killed by him. They annoyed him for some reason, and they were killed. It's pretty amazing," another of the men muttered. 

Everyone could only nod his head. It was confirmed who killed them. They couldn't do anything about it, but they were glad that they hadn't joined their partners in hell.

The snake monarch flew in silence for quite some time while Long Chen sat on the top, brooding over something. 

After a long while, when Long Chen's breathing was calm, the snake monarch opened its mouth as he decided to ask. He was also curious about what was making Long Chen so worried. 

"Can I know what happened?" The Snake Monarch asked Long Chen. "I'm concerned."

"Sigh," Long Chen released a mouthful of breath as he sighed deeply. "I'm sorry for scolding you."

"It's fine. Don't worry about it. Tell me what happened?" The Snake Monarch asked again. 

"It's about Mingyu. I left her at her home. And now I saw a vision. She... She is going to be killed," Long Chen muttered as he clenched his fist.

A murderous aura was surrounding him as if he was going to kill the person that dared to threaten the life of Mingyu. 

"I don't know if it'll happen after six months or tomorrow. I need to get to her as soon as I can," Long Chen said, gazing in the direction of his destination. 

"What? Her life is in danger? Why didn't you tell me before! Watch this monarch kill that dog before he even gets close to that girl," the Snake Monarch roared, feeling agitated. 

He couldn't bear the thought of someone close to him and Long Chen being killed. He knew how bad it could be for Long Chen. 

"Oh right, I don't even know who will try to do it? Do you know who it is? You must have seen that person in the vision?" he asked. 

"Yeah. I know all too well who that bastard is. That guy is her brother! He will kill her!" Long Chen declared, shocking even the snake monarch.

"Her own brother will kill her? What kind of monster yet to kill his own sister?" the Snake Monarch inquired, shocked.

"The monster that will die by my hands before he even gets close to Mingyu. Even if the whole world stands before me, I won't let him live. This destiny! I'll shatter it! I'll shatter everything! I'll destroy this whole world if I have to, but nothing shall happen to her!" Long Chen said grimly. 

The dark aura around him seemed to be getting stronger. 

His Sapling of Darkness Law was also growing slowly as if it was further boosted by the dark emotions of Long Chen. 

"Don't worry. The situation won't come to that. We'll kill him before that," Snake Monarch comforted Long Chen. 

....

In a different part of the Royal City, Lu Wang was meeting a person secretly. 

It was none other than the Half Masked man who always carried with him the book of destiny.

"I didn't expect you to come here. Didn't you say that you can't involve yourself in things?" Lu Wang asked the man. 

"I still can't. I can't stay here for long. The Destiny lines of this place are unstable. If I stay here for long, they'll only get more unstable. I'm only here to tell you something," the man told Lu Wang. 

"Tell me what? If it's about Long Chen, that guy ran away. But I'm sure I did what you wanted me to do. He left Mingyu here. Now he's alone, and his mind must be unstable in anger. Unfortunately, I don't know where he is. So I can't do the next part," Lu Wang sighed. 

"Do you know where he is?" he asked. 

"I don't. He's been a tricky person. His destiny is always shrouded in mystery. I can only see a few vague things. I don't know where he is," the man let out, shaking his head. 

"Then why are you here? What do you want to tell me?" Lu Wang asked. 

"I want to ask you to do something. It's important," the man said. 

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to kill Mingyu."

As the man spoke, it seemed as if time stopped for Lu Wang. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. 

"What nonsense are you talking about? I can't kill my sister. Stop joking with me. This thing is about Long Chen, not my sister. So stop trying to get her involved," Lu Wang said, refusing to listen to the guy.

"Don't be so quick. Listen to me first," the man muttered calmly. 

...

The Snake Monarch kept traveling without stopping. In fact, he moved only faster now that he knew how urgent the situation was. He wanted to help Long Chen and save the life of his loved one. It didn't matter if it made him a bit tired. That was the least of his concern here.
