Chapter 1412 - 1412: Possessed

Rise of the Demon God

Zhu Chang took Long Chen with him to his mother's courtyard and informed her that he was leaving for the Plum Blossom Mountain. After telling her, he talked about the desire of Long Chen about teaching his family.

Just as Zhu Chang had predicted, Li Yi agreed right away. 

After finishing, the three of them went to the Portal Hall. From there, Zhu Chang took them to the farthest portal, which was different in color than other portals. 

The Portal looked black. 

"What is this portal?" Long Chen asked. 

"Don't worry. It's just marked in black because it leads to the exit."

Zhu Chang stepped inside the Portal. Xun grabbed Long Chen's hands as she stepped inside the portal with him. 

Leaving the portal, Long Chen found himself outside the Palace of the Black Tortoise Clan. 

The palace looked really big from outside, but it was nowhere close to its actually massive size on the inside. 

There was a black carriage waiting for them outside the clan. The carriage was being pulled by two Yellow Winged Horses. 

"Our ride is prepared. Get inside," Zhu Chang said, telling Long Chen to get inside the carriage. 

Long Chen allowed Xun to get inside first before stepping in himself. He sat in the Middle, with Xun sitting on his left and finally Zhu Chang sitting on his right. 

Zhu Chang closed the door. 

The carriage started moving slowly, gaining speed as time passed. The horses soon started flapping their wings, rising in the wing with the carriage. 

"How long does it take to get to Plum Blossom Mountain?" Long Chen asked Zhu Chang. 

"Just a couple of hours. The rise is pretty fast," Zhu Chang replied. 

...

Just as Zhu Chang's carriage had left, disappearing into the horizon, his father appeared before the entrance. 

"I want you to increase the security at the entrance as well. Make sure no youngster leaves without a guardian. No one must be allowed inside either. At least until he finds it." He told his Second Brother before stepping inside the Clan with his brothers. 

He had completely forgotten about the fact that just yesterday, he gave permission to Zhu Chang to leave with Long Chen. And the two had already left. 

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't have worried much. Zhu Chang wasn't at risk, according to him. His son was really talented. 

He wasn't going to worry about Zhu Chang. Moreover, they were going to be in the Plum Blossom Mountain. There was no way someone was going to attack a place where all the geniuses gathered. 

His actual worry was about the commoners that couldn't defend themselves and the youngsters of his own Clan, who were at more risk. 

...

"Oh right, I didn't ask before, but I was really curious about something," Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Chang broke the silence. 

"Curious about what?"

"The lady who is sitting beside you. How did she recognize us so easily? How did she know what we were and where she was? I don't think she should have known such things."

"Your entire family was ignorant, except this one person. So I've been curious about it. How is she so knowledgeable about us?'

"I don't think there's any question about that. It's all because she had a master who was from the Heavenly Realm. He taught her about such things. It's because of him that she was able to recognize you."

"In fact, she is even more knowledgeable in such things than me. She has been my guiding light throughout this journey," Long Chen said, placing his hand on the thighs of Xun. 

"It wouldn't be wrong to say that I might not be sitting beside you if it wasn't for her," he continued. 

"Ah, so that's what it is. No wonder," Zhu Chang nodded his head. "I think I can understand now."

"So, while we're waiting to get to the Plum Blossom Mountain, how about you tell me about some of your adventures? I'm sure you must have had many after getting from the bottom of the universe to the top? Was there something of interest?"

"I don't think there was anything of interest. My journey had been pretty boring, if I were to say. It was all about finding resources, struggling for survival, and continuing growth," Long Chen replied, trying to keep a low profile. 

He didn't want to tell Zhu Chang about his adventures in the Bloodline Temple, his equation with the Heavenly Beast while trying to hide Little Snow, and about how he literally destroyed worlds just to continue walking on his path. 

"What about you? Any interesting adventures you went through?" Long Chen asked, changing the topic back to Zhu Chang. 

"There have been a few noteworthy things, I guess," Zhu Chang smiled. "I think most of them were related to my life at the academy."

"Any examples?" Long Chen asked. 

"Like how I 'accidentally' killed someone in the academy. However, he was brought back to life, so no worries."

"Despite that, I was given a punishment. I was told to spend an entire week in the Eternal Prison Forest, without anything to eat."

"However, I started getting bored and started looking around. Ultimately, you know what I noticed?" Zhu Chang asked. 

"What?" Long Chen asked. 

"A strange temple that was buried under the ground. I tried to open it, accidentally letting loose thousands of ancient spirits. One of those spirits took control of my body."

As Zhu Chang reminisced about the past, he started laughing. "It was a bloodbath. Many of the students were caught by the spirits and possessed, including some teachers. '

"Fortunately, the teachers managed to control the situation. We were all freed of the possession, and the spirits were trapped again. It was after that point when my father gave me this pendant to keep me safe from the spirits in case I ended up in a similar situation."

"From that point on, no one was given the punishment to enter the Eternal Prison Forest."

"Spirit Temple with ancient spirits trapped?" Long Chen muttered. "Interesting."

"There is also another incident which I distinctly remember."

"What?"

"I had made a bet with the heir of the Ice Phoenix Clan. She said I couldn't steal something from the room of a teacher. I was also supposed to broadcast the live event to the other students so they could see I actually did it."

"You stole it? Or were caught? Seems pretty ordinary."

"Not at all. When I entered his room at night to steal, I noticed that he was having sex with his disciple. And because everyone was seeing my break in, they all saw that."

"The news spread throughout the entire academy.. The teacher and the student both were expelled in the end."
