Chapter 5538: I Advise You To Think Thrice
Long Chengyu walked back the same road he came from and soon returned to the Totem Dragon n’s warship. The first thing he did upon returning was to look for his father.
Soon, he found his father inside a hall together with Long Xu and Long Muxi.
His father had an awfully livid expression, and his killing intent surged in the hall. Long Xu and Long Muxi had heavy expressions that reflected their unease too.
Clearly, the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief had heard about what they had encountered.
“You’re back?” Long Muxi noticed Long Chengyu and asked.
The first thing she did upon returning was to look for the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief, so she didn’t know about the return of the other Totem Dragon nsmen, who had entered the spirit formation gate leading to the Immemorial Star Sea together with Chu Feng.
“Big sister, the spirit formation gate doesn’t lead us straight to the Immemorial Star Sea but a passageway…” Long Chengyu shared what they had faced after entering the spirit formation gate.
“It looks like young friend Chu Feng wishes to leave his name on the Immemorial Star Sea’s stone monument,” the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief suddenly spoke up. Hisplexion had alleviated from before, and his tone sounded normal.
He was the patriarch of a powerhouse, after all. The least he could do was to control his emotions no matter what happened.
“Brother Chu Feng said that there’s a reason he needs to enter the Immemorial Star Sea, but he didn’t specify what it is,” Long Chengyu said.
“Young friend Chu Feng sure is a mysterious one. I reckon that even Xianhai Yu’er will struggle to keep her name on the stone monument given her talents. Speaking of which…” The Totem Dragon n’s n Chief suddenly paused and let out a sigh. “We have to thank young friend Chu Feng for saving you once again.”
“The debt we owe him just keeps growingrger. If not for him, we’d have all died inside there,” Long Chengyu said.
Even now, he still felt frightened thinking about what a close shave they had. Their fates were already sealed from the moment they entered the realm. They would have all died if Chu Feng hadn’t entered the realm, deciphered thepass, and protected them.
“Chengyu, it’s my fault. I nearly led you to your deaths,” the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief apologized.
“You mustn’t say that, father… but how do you intend to deal with this matter?”
Long Chengyu didn’t bother asking whether his father knew about the existence of the Blood-eyed Qilin n beforehand, for he knew that his father would have never allowed them to enter the realm and work with them otherwise.
“I’ll demand an exnation from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. How dare they make a fool of us? They are looking down on us!” the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief bellowed.
Shoosh!
A beam of light suddenly shot into the hall. The Totem Dragon n’s n Chief caught the light with his hand, and geographical coordinates flowed into his mind.
The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master had sent him a location.
“He still dares to look for me after what he has done?” The Totem Dragon n’s n Chief’s eyebrows shot up as his anger red once more.
“Lord n Chief, I’lle with you,” Long Xu said.
“No need. I’ll suffice,” the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief said before flitting off.
“Lord Long Xu.”
Long Chengyu and Long Muxi looked at Long Xu with worried faces, knowing that neither the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion nor its Mansion Master was easy to deal with.
“Don’t worry. Our n chief knows what he’s doing,” Long Xu consoled them with a smile.
…
The Totem Dragon n’s n Chief soon arrived in a cloudy area not too far away from the Immemorial Star Sea. There was not a single person to be seen in the vicinity. He was at the location the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master had sent him.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he bumped into an invisible barrier. Three figures appeared before his eyes.
One of them was the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master.
The other two were unfamiliar faces, but it wasn’t hard to figure out their identities. One of them was a Totem Phoenix nsman, whereas the other was a Blood-eyed Qilin nsman. Both of them were formidable experts.
The Totem Phoenix nsman had a furious expression despite his best attempt to suppress his anger. In contrast, the Blood-eyed Qilin nsman was rtivelyposed. Without a doubt, the three of them must have been discussing the assimtion formation prior to his arrival.
The Totem Phoenix nsman was probably furious because he didn’t know that this was a suicide mission that doomed his nsmen. It was perplexing to see howposed the Blood-eyed Qilin nsman was, but the chances were that he either knew the truth beforehand or that he was unconditionally loyal to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, such that he wouldn’t kick up a fuss even though this matter had caught him by surprise.
“Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master, you sure have many tricks up your sleeves. Were it not for this incident, I would have never known that the Totem Phoenix n and the Blood-eyed Qilin n are under your protection,” the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief sneered.
Unfazed by his sarcastic remark, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master said, “Totem Dragon n’s n Chief, you arrived just in time. Allow me to introduce you to the Totem Phoenix n’s n Chief and the Blood-eyed Qilin n’s n Chief.”
The Totem Dragon n’s n Chief waved his hand and bellowed, “I’m not interested to know who they are. All I want to know is why you betrayed my trust and made me send my son and daughter to their deaths. I didn’t hesitate to offer you a helping hand when you requested my help, but I never thought that you would be so vicious as to plot against my descendants!”
His deafening voice shook the concealment formation so much that it looked as if it would shatter at any moment, but the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master remained unfazed.
“The two of you should head back first,” the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master said with a wave of his hand.
“Mansion Master, I’ll be taking my leave.” The Blood-eyed Qilin n’s n Chief respectfully bowed to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master before taking his leave.
The Totem Phoenix n turned around and left without saying a word. As infuriated as he was, he dared not to disobey the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master.
In the blink of an eye, the only ones left in the vicinity were the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master and the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief.
“I was fooled as well. I didn’t know it was an assimtion formation. Totem Dragon n’s n Chief, you should know what kind of person I am. I wouldn’t have sent anyone into the formation if I had known that it was an assimtion formation, let alone Chengyu and the others,” the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master exined.
“Heh…” the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief sneered. “You’re telling me that you didn’t know? You, who only makes a move when you’re certain of sess? The Immemorial Star Sea is a trial for the juniors. How did you even find out about the formation there? You better give me a satisfactory exnation today, or else…”
Before he could finish his words, the face of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master suddenly turned cold. “Or else what?”
Boom!
A surge of intimidating oppressive might rippled from the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief, instantaneously tearing about the concealment formation and enveloping the entire Immemorial Star Sea.
Dragon roars resounded in the sky, though the crowd couldn’t tell where it wasing from.
“This oppressive might… Is that the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief?”
The tremendous oppressive might was so powerful and unique that the crowd had no doubt who it was from. Unlike the crowd, who didn’t know better what was going on, the Totem Dragon nsmen on the warship nervously clenched their fists.
They already knew what was going on, which was why they were worried.
“Father…”
Even Long Chengyu and Long Muxi could hardly conceal their nervousness.
Yet, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master, despite being in proximity to such terrifying oppressive might, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he burst intoughter.
“Totem Dragon n’s n Chief, are you certain you want to make a move on me? I advise you to think thrice,” said the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master as he stepped forth and lightly patted the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief’s shoulder.
This light pat caused the Totem Dragon n’s n Chief’s face to stiffen. A hint of fear flickered across his livid eyes.
