The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

"Have you gone mad? Seeking death, then I’ll grant it to you,"

Xuanyuan Pan realized the situation and yelled, then he increased his strength, aiming to chop off Long Chen’s fist with one slash.

But the very instant his knife edge met the fist, Xuanyuan Pan found he was wrong, terribly wrong.

On Long Chen’s fist, a terrifying spirit light burst forth, and vaguely there seemed to be the flicker of a dragon’s head.

Immediately after, Xuanyuan Pan felt a terrifying colossal force assault him, ravaging his entire body in a split second.

With a grunt.

Xuanyuan Pan spat blood and was knocked back, completely powerless to resist.

"How could this be?"

Xuanyuan Pan stared at Long Chen in disbelief.

"Die for me,"

Long Chen, like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, reached Xuanyuan Pan in the blink of an eye.

Xuanyuan Pan’s complexion changed, smelling trouble, all he wanted was to quickly flee.

But Long Chen was too fast, Xuanyuan Pan couldn’t escape.

In desperation, Xuanyuan Pan turned around and swung his knife with all his might, spiritual power surged, transforming into a terrifying blade Qi, slashing towards Long Chen’s head.

But before his knife could fall, his chest was deeply pierced by Long Chen’s fist.

Xuanyuan Pan’s eastward motion froze on the spot, unable to move a muscle.

"I said, you must die,"

Long Chen slowly withdrew his fist.

"You... how did your cultivation..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xuanyuan Pan couldn’t speak any further, and died.

Long Chen’s pupils also returned to their clear distinction of black and white.

He swiftly left, speeding towards the Great Xia Mansion.

Returning to the Great Xia Mansion, Long Chen found that indeed, Li Yuechan was gone.

Xia Ling and the others were all gathered, extremely downcast.

Seeing Long Chen return, their eyes were red, not knowing what to say.

Long Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "It’s not your fault, are all of you okay?"

"You already know?" Xia Ling asked.

"Mhm," Long Chen said, "That old thing named Xuanyuan Pan, I’ve killed him."

"It wasn’t just him who came, there was also Chu Ling, and more than a dozen peerless masters, as well as hundreds of people from the battle zones,"

Xia Ling said through clenched teeth.

"No wonder,"

Long Chen murmured thoughtfully.

Zhao Churan cried, "It was Yuechan who stepped out herself and left with them, she didn’t want us to get hurt, her father wanted to kill us, but it was Yuechan who fought desperately to protect us, and only then did Chu Ling finally take his people and leave."

"It’s okay, don’t cry,"

Long Chen reached out and embraced Zhao Churan, comforting her, "No matter what, Chu Ling is Yuechan’s biological father, he won’t do anything to her, Yuechan is safe, we’ll just find an opportunity to rescue her."

"But, I’m afraid she’ll be lonely,"

Zhao Churan bowed her head.

That sentence also struck Long Chen’s heart.

"I’ll stay in Qianzhou, and I’ll make a trip to the Emperor City, to see Yuechan,"

Long Chen said softly.

"Going alone?" Xia Ling looked at Long Chen.

"Yes, don’t worry, I can handle it,"

Long Chen said.

"Then take care, we’ll wait for your return,"

Xia Ling didn’t say she wanted to accompany him.

After all, the journey was long, and Qianzhou also needed someone to keep watch.

Not long after, Long Chen set out for the Emperor City.

He traveled at the greatest speed, without any stops along the way, he went straight to the Great Xia Imperial City.

Later, by asking Ancestor Xia, Long Chen found out the location of the Chu Royal Mansion.

The Chu Royal Mansion lay to the east of the Imperial City, like a city within a city, towering and domineering.

At the entrance gate, heavy soldiers stood guard, the defense was extremely strict.

Long Chen strode toward the entrance, his expression stern.

"Who are you?"

Someone inquired.

"Go in and report, I, Long Chen, wish to see Chu Ling,"

Long Chen stated seriously.

"You are Long Chen?"

The palace soldier sneered, "You dare to come here, you’re asking for death."

With a bang.

No sooner had the palace soldier’s voice fallen than Long Chen struck him down without hesitation.

The others, witnessing Long Chen’s methods, changed color and their faces paled.

"You... wait, I’m going to report this. You’re finished for killing someone outside the Chu Royal Mansion."

Another palace soldier hurriedly ran into the mansion.

But Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to wait and strode directly into the estate.

Several palace soldiers wanted to stop him but didn’t dare to, their actions comically hesitant.

Long Chen entered the Chu Royal Mansion just like that, moving quickly.

"Long Chen is here. He’s killed someone! Come quick, subdue him!"

A palace soldier shouted.

In just one minute, a dozen experts burst out from hiding spots, encircling Long Chen.

Chu Ling also appeared, narrowing his eyes slightly as he stared at Long Chen.

"Oh my, isn’t this Long Chen? What’s brought you chasing here?"

Just then, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out.

Long Chen turned his head and saw that it was Han Min, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Han Min, dressed like a wealthy lady and dripping with gold and silver, was trying to exude an air of luxury, but she couldn’t hide her vulgar manner.

"So you’re still not dead."

With his first words, Long Chen angered Han Min to the point of fury, "You disrespectful brat, do you know where you are? This is the Chu Royal Mansion. You had better be polite to me."

"Scram."

Long Chen was merciless.

"Long Chen, no matter what you say, she is Yuechan’s mother. To treat Yuechan’s mother with such an attitude shows that my decision to take Yuechan away from your side was the right one."

Chu Ling spoke, his demeanor calm.

"I don’t care who she is. I only respect those who deserve respect. Where’s Yuechan?"

Long Chen stared at Chu Ling.

"Your fate with Yuechan has ended, and you are well aware that as the one who brought forth the Dragon Order to the world, I would also go out of my way to kill you. But considering that you have come for my daughter, I will not lay a hand on you today. Leave now, and do not come back to the Chu Royal Mansion."

Chu Ling’s voice, though not loud, carried an inexplicable authority.

Long Chen took three steps forward, his gaze firm, "If I do not see Li Yuechan today, I will raze this place, even if it means burying myself here; I will bring down the Chu Royal Mansion with me."

Chu Ling’s pupils shrank at those words.

Did this young man truly not fear death?

"Lord of Chu, allow me to test this young man’s abilities and see if he is worthy of his arrogance."

One of the experts, a middle-aged man, immediately leaped out and attacked Long Chen on the spot.

Boom.

The middle-aged expert made his move with a deadly flourish, turning Spiritual Power into a ferocious eagle to tear Long Chen to shreds. Such magic techniques were beyond the sight of ordinary mortals.

"Do you think you’re worthy?"

Long Chen struck back with a simple slap, completely lacking fanfare, yet he sent the middle-aged expert flying dozens of meters. The man hit the ground and then did not rise again.

This scene put everyone on alert, and even Chu Ling had to reassess Long Chen!

"Now, even if you let Yuechan go with you, she may not be willing to leave. Since you want to see her, I shall grant you that wish."

Chu Ling signaled Han Min to bring Li Yuechan over.

Understanding, though unwilling, Han Min nevertheless went to do as told.

Before long, Li Yuechan was brought forth.

At the sight of Long Chen, Li Yuechan’s tears could not be stopped from falling.

"Yuechan, come back with me."

Long Chen reached out his hand.

"Stay where you are." Li Yuechan closed her eyes and turned away, "Long Chen, from now on, stop looking for me. I’ve returned here to recognize my ancestors and claim my heritage, which is my fortune. As for you, aside from me, you have other women. One more or one less of me makes no difference to you. From now on, do not come looking for me."

"Yuechan, is Chu Ling threatening you, is that why you..."

"He’s not threatening me. That’s really what I think. Go back. Don’t think about finding me. I won’t go back with you. In the future, we will both be well."

Li Yuechan stood with her back to Long Chen, tears streaming down her face.

Heaven knows how much her heart hurt at that moment.

If she didn’t say these things, Chu Ling would kill Xia Ling and the others.

If Chu Ling couldn’t kill Long Chen, he would turn to Xia Ling, Zhao Churan, little Unrivaled, and everyone around Long Chen who could be killed.

This was the threat Chu Ling posed, and Li Yuechan dare not gamble on whether he could make good on it.

All she knew was that even if she died in the Chu Royal Mansion, she absolutely could not let any of them die there.

Long Chen stared at Li Yuechan’s back, his heart pierced with pain, "Yuechan, I don’t believe you are such a person, it must be Chu Ling threatening you, isn’t it?"

"Not, not, not." Li Yuechan cried out with emotion, "Now, as the daughter of King Chu, I am elevated to Commandery Princess, I want for nothing. Why should I go share a man with other women? Long Chen, to be honest, I’m sick of you. Every day surrounded by various women, you’re fickle and loose. Just go, I never want to see you again."

"Do you hear that? She told you to leave," Han Min sneered coldly. "My daughter is an honored lady, not someone you can aspire to. Ultimately, you are but a lowly person, buried in the dust. Don’t think that just because you’ve learned a few tricks, you can shake off your lowly status."

"Mother, could you please shut up?"

Li Yuechan fiercely glared at Han Min.

Then Li Yuechan said, "Long Chen, what I’ve said is true. You need not hold on to any memory of me. Go now, do not persist, it’s best for everyone."

Staring blankly at Li Yuechan, Long Chen, in that moment, could no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood.
