Chapter 1389: Invitation

"Sigh, you know, I can just tell Zhu Chang that you tried to kill me to keep my existence here a secret. That certainly won't be good for the relationship between the Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Beast."1

" Who knows, the Heavenly Emperor might blame you too. A person who couldn't differentiate between a Demon and an Ordinary human. Isn't that right?" Long Chen asked, flashing a cheeky smile. 

"You!" The Heavenly General found his face twitching. Was this guy actually blackmailing him?

"Are you trying to blackmail him?" he asked. 

"Blackmail? Not at all. I'm just saying that it would be pretty awful if someone found out how shameless the Heaven was being to keep secrets. I mean, it certainly won't be good for the reputation since these are things that are done by Demons and not Heavenly Warriors."

The Heavenly General clenched his fist. He took a deep breath. "Fine! Tell me, who do you want to be free?"

"Lu Chen and Zia Uzhi."

"Didn't you talk about one person before?"

"Really? I remember talking about two."

"Fine! Two, it is. If their crimes are actually minor, as you claim, they'll be free," the Heavenly General agreed. He contacted the other Warriors and asked them to free Zia Uzhi and Lu Chen. 

"Can I trust you with your words that you'll let them leave after I go?" Long Chen asked, being suspicious. 

"It's the promise of the Heavenly General! I won't go back on the promise!" The Heavenly General said. 

"That's more like it."

Long Chen happily flew with the Heavenly General.

The two of them entered the Inner Prison. Long Chen was already pretty curious about this place. However, after seeing what it was like, he finally understood why people called it a good place. It was a thousand times better than the outer prison. 

At the other end of the person, Zhu Chang had finished searching the entire prison. He still didn't find Long Chen. He only received disappointment. 

Just as he turned to search other places, he saw Long Chen flying towards him. 

"There you are!" Zhu Chang smiled. "I knew you would be here."

Long Chen landed before Zhu Chang. "I honestly didn't expect you to come here for me. Thank you."

"Heh, why thank him only? It was all the work of this Emperor. I brought him all the way here, saying that my right hand man needed help. He was scared all the way. He wouldn't even be here without this monarch!"

"It was I who defeated all the Heavenly Warriors to barge inside! You have no idea how much I had to work to get to you."

"Snakey?" Long Chen asked, peeking behind Zhu Chang. The Snake Monarch was flying back. 

"Blood Dragon Emperor as well?" Long Chen asked, surprised. 

He didn't expect the Blood Dragon Emperor to be here if he received his body back. 

"Did you force him to come here?" He asked Zhu Chang. 

" More or less," Zhu Chang smiled. "What happened to your eyes though? Also, you seem stronger. And a bit... Older?"

"Just went through some things. Nothing special," Long Chen smiled. "But still, may I ask why you came to find me?"

"You wasted so much of your time for me?"

"Meh, how could I finish your wishes if I didn't find you. I don't like living in someone's debt. That's all. Nothing more," Zhu Chang lazily replied. 

"What? Weren't you saying that you wanted to save your friend? Why hide the truth? Are you embarrassed? Come on; you don't need to be. Let it out. I won't judge," the Snake Monarch shamelessly chimed in. 

"This snake of yours... You know, it's a miracle that he's still alive," Zhu Chang told Long Chen. "But he won't be alive for longer if he doesn't stop now."

"Who could know it more than me?" Long Chen chuckled. 

"Snakey, it's good to see you too, little buddy." Long Chen patted the head of the little snake. 

He turned to the Blood Dragon Emperor. "And you... You know it's all because of you. If you hadn't talked so much about it being fine, I might not have touched that box, and I wouldn't be here."

The Blood Dragon Emperor started looking elsewhere.  "I don't know what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter though. In the end, it was a good experience. And everything turned out for the better. So I don't mind," Long Chen said, forgiving the Blood Dragon Emperor. 

Moreover, by now, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds. At the moment, even Blood Dragon Emperor was a weak beast for him that wasn't worth taming. 

"Everything isn't good here though. It's because of this trip that my family caught me. And I'll be taken back home. But I won't be alone. You'll be coming with me as well," Zhu Chang said, pointing back.

"This is my Father. And that's my uncle."

"Ah," Long Chen was blank for a moment before he bowed respectfully.  The Heavenly Beast Emperors were here. Moreover, these people were the ones that were looking for little snow. He was praying that they wouldn't sense the little guy through him.

"So you're the guy my son was talking about. You're certainly peculiar," Zhu Chang's father stepped closer to Long Chen and observed his eyes. 

"Your eyes... They are so similar to Demon Eyes, but they aren't quite Demon Eyes. And I can see that it hasn't been long since your eyes turned black. May I ask how it happened?" The old man asked. 

Long Chen couldn't just say that it was because of a God-Grade Sword of time which had destroyed a world. 

"Even I'm not sure. I think it's some eye sickness. Fortunately, I can still see properly," Long Chen replied. 

"Eye sickness, huh," the old man smiled. "Doesn't seem that way."

"However, I won't ask too many questions. Since you're the friend of my son, you're the friend of our entire clan. And I have no problem with you coming with us."

"Coming with you to... Heavenly Beast Realm?" Long Chen asked. 

The Beast Realm was a place which was a dangerous place for little snow. He couldn't let her out of the ring. But he also couldn't lose this chance. He was already looking for a way to go there to get some phoenix blood. And now that he had a chance, he couldn't refuse. 

"Don't say no," Zhu Chang told Long Chen. 

"I won't say no. But I have something to do in the Immortal World. I have taken a Heavenly Oath to kill someone, and I can't leave without that. Can I get a few hours before we leave?"
