"That’s exactly why I’ve been trying so hard to break through. And now that I have the Sword of Ti, it’s certainly going to be easier than before," Long Chen agreed with the statent of the Snake Monarch.
Because of that sword, he was certainly in a better situation than before.
The realm he was currently in would have taken him at least a thousand years to reach if it hadn’t been for the Sword of Ti.
Instead of being concerned about it before, Long Chen was excited about becoming strong to face Tian Shen.
He wanted to show Tuan Shen that he wasn’t going to be a pawn in soone else’s plans. Instead, he was going to be the Ruler of his own destiny.
Snake Monarch closed in to Long Chen before he whispered. "By the way, this Xun... She really wanted to sacrifice you?"
"Not actually a sacrifice. I was going to be left alive, but they were going to steal my bloodline and my cultivation, making a waste in the process," Long Chen explained.
"Why did you still keep your friendship with her? Were you acting? Until now, I really thought she was your best friend. Who knew she had an ulterior motive, and you even knew that?" Snake Monarch comnted.
"I wasn’t acting. She is just a misguided girl whose whole life was a lie. If I were in her place, I would have done the sa thing. Now she will see the reality for herself, and she will be free of these false mories," Long Chen explained.
Snake Monarch glanced at Xun, who was sitting in the distance, trying to comprehend the book.
"I honestly didn’t expect this from you. If it were , I would have killed her for scheming against ," Snake Monarch comnted.
"No, you wouldn’t," Long Chen let out, smiling wryly. "Alright, let’s make it like this. I’ll tell you a scenario. And you tell what you would do."
" What Scenario?" Snake Monarch asked.
"If tomorrow, you found out that you I was fooled by soone from my childhood, from even before I t you. And that I was to sacrifice you to save a person I considered my mother, all because of false mories. What will you do?" Long Chen asked. "Can you kill ?"
"Of course not! You’re my right hand man! I’ll just tell you what an idiotic a*shole you are to be fooled so easily. I’ll tell you the truth and then kill the person who actually sched against . You were just a pawn," Snake Monarch firmly stated.
"Is that so? Then tell , how is my situation any different?" Long Chen asked the Snake Monarch.
Since they were both talking through their thoughts, Xun didn’t hear a single word.
"Moreover, she was the Treasure Spirit of this ring. She had so influence on the Fake Bloodline Temple. It was going to be stupid to tell her the truth when she wasn’t going to believe it," Long Chen explained.
"At Least now I can make her know the truth with that skill. Moreover, I can use her help in the future against Tian Shen," he further stated. "Even though most of her mories are fake, she still knows more about so things than anyone else could."
"That’s true as well. I think she would be helpful if she’s all that you’re bragging her to be," Snake Monarch agreed.
"There’s only one person here who likes to brag, and it’s most certainly not ," Long Chen comnted, rolling his eyes.
"Now stop talking and look through the windows. Do you still see Royal Guards outside?" he asked the Snake Monarch, comfortably lying on the bed.
Snake Monarch flew towards the window and looked outside.
"Yeah, I still see so of them outside," he agreed.
"Good. It seems like they’re suspicious of this place. It doesn’t matter though. I have finished the process. There would be no trail to lead them here now," Long Chen comnted as he closed his eyes.
" Yeah. They’re never going to find what we did. Snake Monarch comnted, laughing.
" Yeah. I doubt they can even find that thief, let alone us," Long Chen muttered.
Throughout the night, all the guards kept searching the entire city, trying to find anything, but they didn’t find anyone.
....
"Did you find anything?" The Western General asked the Captain of their guards when they returned.
Even though he asked a question, in reality, he already knew the answer to the question. The answers were already written on their disappointed faces. It was clear that they couldn’t find anything.
"We couldn’t find anything," the Captain replied, as per expectations. "But there was certainly sothing strange that a few of our n reported.
"What was it?" The Western General asked.
"They reported a strange phenonon where most of the Qi in a big area had suddenly decreased as if all of the Emperors were cultivating at the sa ti," the Captain answered.
" Did you verify these claims?" The Western General asked.
"Yeah. When I reached there, I was able to feel it as well. That place had certainly recovered a lot of its Qi until I reached there, but I was able to feel it. The n were telling the truth."
" What was causing it? Were you able to find out?" Western General asked, curious about which place it was.
"Our n searched everywhere, but we weren’t able to find the source of it," the Captain answered.
"Alright, lead to the place. I want to see it for myself," the Western General let out, telling his n to lead him to that strange place.
As per his orders, his n led him near the hotel Long Chen was staying in.
...
It was early morning. Throughout the night, Long Chen hadn’t slept. He spent his ti trying to comprehend the Skill of Saint King.
In the anti, Xun also comprehended the skill the Long Chen had given him. As a human, it was the first skill he had learned.
Without telling Long Chen that she had comprehended the skill, Xun started using it to see if her mories were actually manipulated.
As she used her skill herself, her lips opened slightly. Everything that Long Chen said was true. Tian Shen wasn’t trapped in the Bloodline Temple. And she wasn’t created by the owner of this bloodline.
In fact, she was even able to rember the mont when she truly ca into existence. The face she had seen wasn’t the face of any higher being. Instead, it was the face of Tian Shen.
She also rembered the first words she had heard.
