With the suppression from the gods, the Heavenly Dragon lineage might really be wiped out if they didn’t find a powerful backer.
But this does not mean that what Longyuan did was right.
“Mr Chen,” Long Zhan turned around and looked at David, “I think… I will handle this myself.”
David glanced at him and nodded.
“This is a family affair of your Tianlong lineage; you decide for yourself.”
Long Zhan walked over to Long Yuan and was silent for a long time.
Then he spoke.
“Long Yuan, I won’t kill you.”
Long Yuan raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise.
“But you have to take us somewhere.”
“Where?”
“That devil cultivator’s lair behind you.”
Long Yuan’s body stiffened for a moment.
“That devil cultivator has already escaped.”
His voice was low. “Three days ago, he suddenly disappeared. Before leaving, he took all his belongings with him and left nothing behind.”
David frowned: “They ran away?”
“Yes.”
Long Yuan nodded. “He left in a hurry, as if he was frightened by something. I asked him why, but he didn’t want to answer. I think it was because of Ning Zhi’s departure.”
“Ning Zhi left a few days ago and never came back.”
If Ning Zhi alone couldn’t defeat David, how could the demon cultivators dare to remain in the Demon Realm?
“Take me to see it,” said David.
Long Yuan led his group through the valley and arrived at a large hall located deep within the Demon Realm.
The main hall was quite large, but it was empty now. The doors were wide open, and the inside was a mess, clearly having been emptied in a hurry.
David entered the main hall and looked around.
A faint trace of demonic energy still remained in the air, but it was so faint that it was almost invisible.
He walked to the deepest part of the main hall, looked at the empty hall, and suddenly smiled.
“You’re pretty fast.”
He raised his hand, and purple chaotic power condensed in his palm, turning into a ball of purple fire.
The flames landed on the floor of the hall and immediately spread, devouring the entire hall.
The purple flames illuminated the gray sky of the Demon Realm, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness.
David turned and walked out of the main hall without looking back.
“Let’s go. Let’s go home.”
Long Zhan glanced at the burning hall, then at Long Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, and was silent for a moment.
“Long Yuan, I will spare your life. But starting today, you and your people are prohibited from setting foot in the territory of the Heavenly Dragon lineage again. Otherwise”
He didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Long Yuan bowed his head: “I understand.”
Long Zhan turned and left with David.
Behind them, purple flames were still burning, turning the once invincible palace into ruins.
On the way back to Yunxian City, Long Zhan remained silent.
David walked beside him without disturbing him.
He knew that Long Zhan needed time to digest what had happened today.
The enemy he had hated for years knelt before him, begging for mercy.
But when the time comes for revenge, they discover that what the other party did was not just a crime.
“Master Chen,” Long Zhan suddenly spoke, “Did I make a mistake in not finishing off Long Yuan today?”
David thought for a moment then shook his head.
“There is no right or wrong, only choices. You chose not to kill him, that was your decision. As long as you don’t regret it, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
Long Zhan was silent for a long time.
“I don’t regret it.” His voice was soft but firm, “but I will not forgive him.”
David patted him on the shoulder: “Enough.”
The group quickened their pace and flew towards Yunxian City.
Behind them, the black mist of the Demon Realm slowly dissipated in the purple flames.
For the first time, the land shrouded in darkness for many years revealed its true colors.
Whitish-gray rocks, cracked ground, and a faint green hue in the distance.
