Chapter 6978 Not Good

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Long Chen, Xiaoqian Zi Yan sobbed hard.

The three of them hugged each other tightly. Even though Zi Yan had been unconscious, her soul stayed linked to the Heavenly Devil Zither, so she knew everything that had happened.

Even the sacred Heavenly Devil Zither had thought they would perish. But Long Chen appeared just in time and saved them. After all the danger, they were finally together again.

They had so much to say to each other, but for now, no one could say a word. It took a long time before they all calmed down enough to sit together.

Zi Yan It must have been painful all this time Long Chen said.

When he saw Zi Yans pale face, his heart ached.

He thought back to the Heaven Regions battlefield. Zi Yan had known what would happen to her, but she still chose to protect him.

He, on the other hand, had not managed to protect Zi Yan. She had been suffering all this time. Thinking of this, Long Chen was filled with guilt.

I should be the one saying that, Zi Yan said, caressing Long Chens cheek.

She understood him well. While she was trapped, he must have been hurting too.

Long Chen, big sister Zi Yan has awoken. This is a good thing. We should be celebrating! Ill go prepare a banquet with Yutong, so you should take this chance to catch up! Yue Xiaoqian said.

Yue Xiaoqian handed Zi Yans other hand to Long Chen, then suddenly vanished before they could say anything.

She was clever enough to realize that Zi Yan had many things she wanted to say to Long Chen, so she created an excuse for the two of them to be alone.

Once they were alone, Long Chen quickly pulled Zi Yan into his arms. She responded by wrapping her arms around him tightly, tears streaming down her face once again.

Long Chen I really was afraid I might never see you again

Long Chen also felt emotional. Zi Yan had risked her life for him, and now she was revealing her gentler side.

She was scared, but Long Chen was scared too. He couldn't even imagine how it would feel if Zi Yan died. He had no clue how he could handle such a situation.

Zi Yan, dont worry, we wont part again. I swear no one can hurt you this time! Long Chen promised, hugging her tightly. These words were both his comfort and his promise.

After a while, Zi Yan stopped crying. She reached out to wipe the tears from Long Chens face, and they both smiled.

Zi Yans smile was like a flower blooming. Her slightly pale appearance made Long Chen swear to cherish her even more.

Zi Yan asked him about what had happened while she was unconscious, and Long Chen didnt conceal any of it. He even told her about the Dark Master.

As the master of the Heavenly Devil Zither, Zi Yan had her own great fate in this world. She could endure this karma.

Good, we can finally fight alongside each other! Zi Yan exclaimed, smiling.

Thats right, it really is good. I remember back on the Martial Heaven Continent, you always said I was your devil star and kept trying to convert me, Long Chen teased.

You always like to bring up other peoples past! Zi Yan blushed.

Thinking about their rocky past, Zi Yan laughed at herself. Back then, she really had been naive.

Fairy Zi Yan, I misspoke. May I know when I can hear your divine music once again? Long Chen continued teasing her.

Keep dreaming!" Zi Yan snorted.

Long Chen held Zi Yans hand, and the two of them smiled and talked. After consuming a soul-nourishing pill, Zi Yan looked much better.

Suddenly, Zi Yan saw Long Chen staring at her blankly and turned red.

She asked, Why are you looking at me like that?

Zi Yan, youre really beautiful!

Zi Yan had always been beautiful, but now she had matured. Her beauty was no longer just pure, but also carried a sense of depth. She was already quite different from before.

Zi Yan turned even redder and glared at him.

Is that how you conned the others? Hmph, Im going to see Xiaoqian!

Even though their relationship was already clear and they had faced life and death together, Zi Yan still couldnt handle Long Chens intense gaze.

Long Chen knew Zi Yan wasnt as bold as he was, so he stopped teasing her and led her out of the cultivation room.

When they returned to the surface and Zi Yan saw the darkness outside, she was still shaken, even though she had tried to prepare herself.

The music of the Grand Dao is in chaos. Gods and immortals flee, while devils reign in chaos. This world is filled with the roars of destruction and killing murmured Zi Yan.

Even through the grand formations, Zi Yan could hear the sounds of heaven and earth. She had never imagined the world would become like this.

Long Chen didnt want the mood to turn gloomy, so he brought her to a mansion. The Flame God Sect had prepared this place for him, but he had never visited it before.

Yue Xiaoqian and Chi Yutong had already set up a feast. When Zi Yan learned that Chi Yutong had also risked her life for Long Chen, she bowed and thanked her.

Seeing this, Chi Yutong blushed and quickly bowed back.

Zi Yan was the master of the Heavenly Devil Zither, and the power of the Heavenly Daos surrounded her. With her natural beauty and noble presence, even Chi Yutong felt a bit inferior.

Noticing that Chi Yutong was still a little nervous, Zi Yan held her hand and sat next to her. The four of them talked and laughed together. Zi Yan was still too weak to play the zither, or the moment would have been even more special.

Just as the four of them were chatting, the entire Flame God Sect shuddered. They immediately rushed out to see what was going on.

BOOM!

Another explosive sound rang out. Chi Yutong immediately ordered the light formation to be activated.

Everyone gasped in shock when they saw a huge dragon hidden in the darkness. It had two heads and six claws. Its strong Blood Qi made them feel a heavy pressure.

They had never seen a creature like this before. Between the two horns on each of its heads was a lump covered in dense runes.

But now, that lump looked withered. The dragon stared at the people inside the barriers and roared.

Zi Yan muttered, Hungry meat devour grow stronger

Zi Yan could actually understand its emotions from its roars.

Kill it! Long Chen ordered.

The formation activated, causing countless runes to gather into a sharp sword. The sword sliced off both of the dragons heads.

After that, Chi Yutong used the formation to pull its body into the sect. As Zi Yan pressed her hand against one of the heads, her brows furrowed.

Not good!
