Chapter 473: Long Family’s Condition
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Su Chen… Chen Su… Could these two people have some kind of relationship? Chen Su of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan entered the inheritance site of the World-Transcending Sword Master for three years, while Su Chen also disappeared for three years…”
Zhu You of the Heavenly Demon Alliance muttered with flickering eyes as a cold light flashed through them.
He had pondered this possibility before. He just never had the chance to voice his thoughts until now.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the elder from the Long family shook his head and looked at him, saying, “Fellow Daoist, you worry too much! When Chen Su appeared, there were countless powerful experts present. Even you yourself have seen Chen Su of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan before. Therefore, you should understand that these two people are not the same. If they were, how could Chen Su have entered the inheritance land safely?”
To everyone present, the human prodigy Su Chen was no longer as important as Chen Su of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan. After all, Su Chen was just a human prodigy, hardly worth their attention. No matter how talented he was, that was all.
One had to understand this was the Chaotic Sea Star Region, the hinterland of their Southern Region. Even if Su Chen was a great saint, it would be impossible for him to leave this place. As long as he dared show his face, the hordes of experts present would jointly attack him.
Although Su Chen’s reputation in the East Barren was great and his background quite formidable, that was only in the East Barren. Here in the Southern Region was not human territory but the domain of the myriad races.
In this place, the human race’s status was as lowly as ants. No matter what extraordinary abilities Su Chen possessed, as long as the myriad races wanted him dead, he could only obediently accept his fate.
On the other hand, Chen Su of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan now seemed very important. Although only a great saint of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan, he was still one of the myriad races, yet he had obtained the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master. This could not be taken lightly.
Anyone could take the inheritance, anyone but the weaker races! This was an unspoken agreement between the ancient myriad races!
“Hehe… Fellow Daoist Zhu merely worries about Su Chen’s junior sister. If she dares show herself here, 1 will certainly help you kill her!” said the Long family elder, stroking his beard. His profound eyes seemed to peer into one’s soul. No one dared meet his gaze.
By saying this, he had seized upon the weak spot of the Heavenly Demon Alliance. Over the past three years, all the factions in the Southern Region had been investigating Su Chen’s whereabouts. So naturally, the matter from three years ago of a human cultivator offending the Heavenly Demon Alliance would have caught their attention.
If that had been all, then it was fine. Any of the forces present had dealt with humans before and could easily handle a petty human cultivator. But this was the junior sister of Su Chen, the number one prodigy of the human race. That changed things. The junior sister of the eminent Su Chen holding a grudge against the Heavenly Demon Alliance – how could Su Chen sit back and watch her be bullied? Impossible.
One must understand that even covered in glory in the East Barren, Su Chen was still fiercely protective of his own. Before his meteoric rise, he had helped this junior sister annihilate an entire sect. It was clear how much he valued her. How could he possibly let the Heavenly Demon Alliance mistreat her?
What cultivations had Su Chen and his junior sister been at then, and what were they now? As a Great Saint Realm powerhouse, who among those present could guarantee Su Chen would not directly come to the Heavenly Demon Alliance and raze them for his junior sister’s sake? He was fully capable of doing so.
Back in the East Barrens, he had demolished many sects, even wiping out the famed Spirit Race and Dashang Empire. The Heavenly Demon Alliance of the Southern Region was nothing to him.
This was in the Southern Region. If it were in the East Barens, Su Chen would not even need to act personally – the factions aligned with him would readily band together and erase the Heavenly Demon Alliance.
“Then tell me your conditions,” said Zhu You, eyeing the other party coldly and emotionlessly.
Everyone knew of Su Chen’s potential. In under fifty years, he had reached his current height. Given another hundred years, who could guess how peerless he might become? No fool would court his wrath.
So why would this Long family elder suddenly cozy up to him now? He surely had his own agenda.
“My condition is simple,” said the Long family elder, glancing back at his junior. “I will help you deal with Su Chen, but you must help me seize the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master!”
“Hm?” Zhu You’s brows furrowed slightly. With the sheer number of factions present, everyone coveting that inheritance, he did not think some alliance between the Heavenly Demon Alliance and the Long family could secure it.
None of these factions were stupid. Just as they might collude secretly, so might the other factions. That inheritance would not be easily claimed. All present were eminent among the myriad races. None would relinquish it lightly.
Besides, obtaining such a mighty inheritance by stealth would be one thing. But claiming it publicly? Chen Su of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan had demonstrated that lesson clearly enough! Even united, could their two factions wrest the inheritance free and escape this place with it?
The inheritance was a hot potato, yet a hot potato all desired.
“Fellow Daoist, I am but a great saint. What help could 1 offer you?” Zhu You said solemnly. The place was lousy with Saint King Realm masters. A mere great saint would contribute little.
The Long family elder laughed. “Think nothing of it, fellow Daoist. Simply relay my proposal to your Heavenly Demon Alliance experts. If they lend their strength, my Long family will not only help you resolve Su Chen but will also owe your Heavenly Demon Alliance a favor, redeemable at any future time of need.. We of the Long family never delay in settling our debts!”
