Zhu Chang had managed to break the entire plot of the fake Long Chen, all thanks to the Snake Monarch.
Even though the fake Long Chen had managed to escape with the Demon Queen, they forgot the Immortal Queen behind, who was in the grasp of Zhu Chang.
She needed to answer if she wanted to survive, but there was also a problem in that. If she said the truth, the plan to have real Long Chen killed was going to fail. She didn't want that to happen at any cost, especially after working so hard.
Moreover, even if she hid her responsibility and only told about Long Chen's goal of coming here, this was going to be troubleso. Long Chen couldn't be allowed to survive, especially now that she was here. If the real one arrived, he was going to kill her as he promised.
"I-" The lady felt her eyes widen as she was choked. The pressure around her throat was just too much. She couldn't even properly breathe anymore.
"I... Will... Tell... You!" The lady declared after she couldn't take it anymore.
Zhu Chang loosened his grip. "Of course, you will tell. If not, you'll be dead. So tell , what was the goal of you three in coming here? And where is the real Long Chen?"
The lady dropped to the ground as soon as Zhu Chang freed her. However, he still cast an energy barrier around her to make sure that she couldn't run.
"T-the real Long Chen is dead! His dead body was discovered by on the Immortal World!" Since she couldn't tell the truth, she needed to lie. However, she couldn't tell a stupid lie either. She needed to say sothing that was going to justify her coming here with a fake Long Chen.
"You're lying. If he was dead, how did you find out that his family was here? You really want to die, don't you?"
"I-i ant she is ntally dead! When we found him, his body was breathing, but his mind was in a coma. I recognized him because I had seen him before. I, and a friend of mine were really curious about Long Chen since we had seen him becoming weak to strong! So we wanted to know his secret; that's why we read his mories!"
"Through his mories, we ca to know about this place! That's the only reason we ca here! My friend used a transformation skill to disguise into Long Chen so we could co here!"
"Nonsense. This father of yours isn't stupid like your real father. Why would you co here just because of his mories?" Snake Monarch snorted in disbelief.
"No, it's the truth! We had to co here because of what we saw in his mories. Long Chen's mories were a hit or miss. So were there, while so mories weren't there. In the mories that we saw, we found out about the treasure that he was carrying."
"However, he didn't have it when he went to the tomb. As for where that treasure went, we don't know. That mory was missing, but we had a feeling that he gave it to his family mber."
"That's why we ca here with his disguise. We wanted to get in contact with his family to find that treasure!" The Immortal Queen made a perfect web of stories that not only justified her taking this risk but also the disguise.
If they ca here, they couldn't say that they ca here to roam around? They also couldn't say they ca here to kidnap or hurt his family, so the safest way out of this problem was simply saying they needed the help of the family.
Moreover, this way, she also pretended that it was an honest mistake with no malice behind it.
"What treasure could be so important that even the Demon Princess agreed to co with you?" Zhu Chang inquired. "You didn't think this story through, did you?"
"It's the truth. As for the treasure, let alone the Demonic Princess, anyone would've been ready to do this mission because the treasure is just so incredible!"
"And what treasure might that be?"
"The God Core." The lady declared, stunning Zhu Chang. Not only him, even his father was stunned.
"God what?" Only Snake Monarch seed to not get it. "Are you making up nonsense nas?!"
"Snake, you might not know about it, but there are many people in the world who know how special that thing is." She turned to the Patriarch. " If I'm not wrong, you know it too. That's why, despite so much risk, we planned to co here."
"Are you saying that Long Chen had the God Core?" The old man asked, seemingly really intrigued at this point.
Snake Monarch grew even more confused. What was this God Core that even the old man was interested in? When he was with Long Chen, he hadn't seen any such treasure? The highest grade of treasure that Long Chen had was his Sword of Ti, and the patriarch didn't even take an interest in that as if that was useless.
For a person who considered the Godly Sword of Ti as useless, even he considered God Core special? Just what was it?
Snake Monarch was sure that the lady was lying about it, but he couldn't be sure. Since he didn't even know what it was, how could he say if Long Chen really had it or not? Maybe he had sothing special that he didn't realize?
"What is this God Core?" He asked Zhu Chang. "Tell so I can confirm if Long Chen had it or not? I'm sure she is lying."
He was right as well. The Immortal Queen was lying. She had internationally used sothing that was the object of everyone's desire in the universe... The God Core!
As for what the God Core was... Every influential person knew about it. They had all heard the stories. All the God Kings wanted it. Even the Heavenly King craved for it. Unfortunately, no one knew it was even true. To hear about it again, the old Patriarch of the Black Tortoise Clan was suddenly really interested.
"Think for yourself. A young man who was born in a small village in a backward mortal world... How did he manage to grow so much in such a fast ti that he should face even the Rulers of the Immortal World? He could face the Heavenly General and even more, despite being mortal!"
"How did a man manage to reach so far? It was all because of the God Core! That was his secret. That's why we ca here, thinking it'll be with his family! That could be the only reason why he didn't have it when we found him!"
