This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back, but some sharp-eyed onlookers noticed a multicolored light flickering above the palm he used to block Liao Yuhuangs attack. Violet qi poured from his hand, trying to push back the multicolored glow.

Chi Yutong and Xin Yu were both stunned. Even someone as strong as Long Chen had been pushed back. This woman was truly frightening.

I really didnt think Fairy Yuhuang was so powerful. You are now qualified to speak to me. So tell me, what do you want in exchange for Zi Yan? Long Chen demanded.

This exchange with Liao Yuhuang took away some of Long Chens momentum. The Zither Sects disciples felt like they had regained a bit of their dignity.

Long Chens consecutive slaps of Luo Xing had embarrassed the whole Zither Sect. Now, someone finally put him in his place.

Liao Yuhuang glanced at Luo Xing, who gave a small nod.

Then, she said, Dean Long Chen, everyone knows the Heavenly Devil Zither is the Zither Sects priceless treasure. Miss Zi Yan stole it from us. We managed to get the zither back, but she was caught with it. If anything bad happens to Miss Zi Yan, its her own fault, and she cant blame anyone else

Long Chen interjected, Cut the crap! We all know how this situation came around. Get to the point.

Liao Yuhuang didnt get angry at being interrupted.

She continued, Miss Zi Yan has merged with the body of the Heavenly Devil Zither. If we want to take back the Heavenly Devil Zither, we must kill Miss Zi Yan. However, our Zither Sect does not like killing. We prefer to live peaceful

Hahaha!

Long Chen couldnt help but laugh at that statement.

Liao Yuhuang was finally pissed and said, Dean Long Chen, do you have no intention of talking properly? I, Liao Yuhuang, am speaking to you as a representative of the Zither Sect. You should show me some respect! Miss Zi Yans life is in our hands. Do you not want to save her?

Long Chen took a deep breath and relaxed his expression, staying silent.

Liao Yuhuang snorted and said, It is possible to remove Miss Zi Yan from the Heavenly Devil Zither alive. But it would come at a huge cost for the Zither Sect.

Long Chen bluntly asked, Fine. What do you want?

Do you think the Zither Sect is trying to extort you? You underestimate us. We are the leaders of the four ancient sects. We have our pride and wont take advantage of others. But Miss Zi Yan stole our priceless treasure first. Shouldnt the cost of removing her fall on someone else, not the Zither Sect?

What do you want from me? Just tell me, Long Chen demanded, not trusting the Zither Sects words at all.

Removing Miss Zi Yan will use up the Heavenly Devil Zithers primal chaos source. There is only one thing in this world that can quickly restore the primal chaos source. Its called the Nine Rune Heaven Devil Dao Crystal.

The Nine Rune Heaven Devil Dao Crystal? Long Chen asked, frowning. He had never heard of it.

However, Zi Nuo, Chi Yutong, and Xin Yus expressions changed. As natives of the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, they knew exactly what it was.

Xin Yu shouted, Youre making impossible demands! The Nine Rune Heaven Devil Dao Crystal is hidden in the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm! Your Zither Sect knows exactly where it is, but you also know its impossible to get! Youre just sending others to their deaths. How sinister!

Liao Yuhuang disregarded Xin Yus criticisms and replied, This is the only way to save Zi Yan. Everything is up to Dean Long Chen. Where theres a will, theres a way. If Dean Long Chen truly cares for his woman, he will find a solution. With Dean Long Chens strength, I believe he has a good chance of succeeding.

Xin Yu said, Long Chen, dont agree! This woman is clearly unreasonable. The Nine Rune Heaven Devil Dao Crystal is impossible for people in our era to obtain.

Liao Yuhuang looked at Xin Yu and said, That wont stop Dean Long Chen unless he doesnt want to save his woman. Well, Ive already given you our request. Dean Long Chen, as old friends, I hope you wont hate me. After all, these are the sect masters words, and this is the greatest concession the Zither Sect can make. Since Ive said all I need to say, we wont disturb you any longer.

You have one year. After that, this agreement will be void. The world is changing, and the Zither Sect cannot wait forever. If Dean Long Chen fails to acquire the Nine Rune Heaven Devil Dao Crystal within this period, the Zither Sect will resort to extreme measures to eliminate Zi Yan. In such an event, Dean Long Chen will bear all the consequences.

After saying that, Liao Yuhuang turned to the Zither Sects disciples and said, Put down the gifts. Were leaving.

Zi Nuo immediately replied, Take them. The Wine God Palace cant accept the Zither Sects gifts.

Long Chen was a guest of the Wine God Palace, and the Zither Sect had come to threaten him. Was that not a provocation toward the Wine God Palace as well?

Luo Xing and Liao Yuhuangs attitudes had displeased Zi Nuo, so he no longer treated them kindly.

Thats fine. In that case, goodbye! Long Chen, dont forget, you only have one year!

After saying that, Liao Yuhuang and Luo Xing walked out, followed by the other disciples of the Zither Sect.

Once they had left the seventy-two cities, Luo Xing gnashed his teeth and cursed, That damn brat, if it were not for the sect masters personal orders, I would have definitely killed him!

Luo Xing had been slapped twice, yet he dared not kill Long Chen. He could barely hold himself together.

Pavilion Master, please calm down. Killing Long Chen would be easy, but then the Zither Sect would have to endure the wrath of the High Firmament Academy. Long Chen will definitely die later, but we must avoid doing it directly, Liao Yuhuang said.

Yuhuang, youve exchanged blows with him. Tell me, what do you think your chances of winning would be if you fought again? asked Luo Xing.

If this had happened earlier, I would have been like an ant before him. Now, under the sect masters guidance and empowered by the Heavenly Devil Zithers law, I have undergone a complete transformation. But Liao Yuhuang sighed. I can tell I wouldn't stand a chance against him in a direct fight. Hes just too strong. Maybe only the Music Grandmaster can rival him among our heavenly geniuses.

What? Impossible! Even with your power, you cant beat him with the Heavenly Devil Zithers aid?

Luo Xing was shocked, as were the other disciples.

Liao Yuhuang shook her head. Long Chen possesses too many trump cards. Although he lost the Heaven Earth Cauldron, we shouldnt underestimate him. The sect master is always cautious about Long Chen. Thats why I came with you this time. He advised me multiple times to avoid clashing with Long Chen so that things didnt reach the point of no return. Pavilion Master, its fortunate you endured through it all. I believe no one else could have such restraint. When we return, I will ensure the sect master knows of your skill. All that you endured will be repaid a hundred times over.

Liao Yuhuang didnt forget to praise Luo Xing at the end, which made him feel much better. She had risen upon entering the Primal Chaos World and possessed high emotional intelligence. As a result, Cao Yiyang liked her, and even Pavilion Master Luo Xing had to show her respect.

Hmph, I wonder if that brat will have the courage to ener the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm. Tch, well just wait to hear the news!

Luo Xing thought about Long Chens gloomy expression as they departed, and much of his anger eased.

Liao Yuhuang smiled slightly but didnt say anything in return. After that, they flew off into the horizon.

Within the palace, Long Chens gloomy face turned into a smile once all the Zither Sects people had left.

He slowly raised his palm, displaying a flickering five-color rune on it.
