Chapter 398 - Giving The Cangyang Kingdom To You

“Close your eyes. Everything will be different once you open them,” Ling Xi said pitifully. No woman wanted to be ugly. It was clear that Murong Yu had been troubled by the curse for a very long time.

She nodded and closed her eyes.

Ling Xi started to work on dispelling the curse while Long Chen just sat in a corner to not disturb them. Time slowly passed, and Ling Xi appeared to be succeeding. After just an hour, the red mark on Murong Yu’s chin slowly faded.

A pale, red line was left on Murong Yu’s face. Ling Xi followed the line and slowly dismantled the curse. Making a mistake at this point would be terrible, so she was very careful. Thankfully, Ling Xi was very good with curses and seals. Two more hours passed, and the red mark was completely gone. Murong Yu just needed to rest for a few days and her skin would become normal again.

Ling Xi was tired when she was done. She floated towards Long Chen and warned him, “I’m going to sleep. Don’t do anything to her just because she’s pretty! And maintain your distance! Do you understand?”

“I know, I know.” Long Chen nodded and sighed. He looked at Murong Yu and saw that she was indeed a super beauty. No wonder Ling Xi had left him with a warning and was wary of her.

“Good.” She then disappeared into the sword.

Murong Yu slowly got up, and Long Chen passed her a mirror without any hesitation. “Take a look, pretty lady Murong.”

Murong Yu soon saw her own face and was surprised to see that the red mark was gone. She bit her finger to make sure that it wasn’t a dream!

She cried out of happiness.

Long Chen sighed in relief when he saw her crying. Women truly put a lot of effort into looking good.

She had endured it for a long time and struggled with insecurity.

She cried for quite some time before she calmed down. “Long Chen, where is Ling Xi?”

“She went back to sleep. If you have nothing else to do, you should do the same. People might get the wrong idea if they see you sleeping on my bed while I’m in the room with you.”

“Alright. Thank you.” Murong Yu blushed and got up from the bed.

“No need to thank me. You saved my stepfather’s life and even suffered the pain of the Yin Black Worm because of me. This is just a small gesture of goodwill to thank you.”

Murong Yu smiled and looked at the veil on the floor. “Do I still need this?” she mumbled.

“No need. You can confidently show everyone your face.”

“Am I pretty?” She was nervous.

“Of course. I’m actually holding myself back here. Unfortunately, I’ve pledged myself to Ling Xi ...” Long Chen chuckled.

“Then I should get rid of this,” she said while looking at her mask.

“Wait. What is that thing? Can it really fool others?”

Long Chen had failed to notice the Fire Poison Curse because of the mask.

“This is a human skin mask. My master is good at making masks, and I learned a lot from her. You can use it to change your face. Even someone at the Heavenly Passage Realm would have a hard time seeing through it.” Murong Yu was quite proud of her creation.

“Wait, what?!” Long Chen was excited. “I need to slip into the palace, but everyone knows what I look like now, so could you make me a mask?”

It would be very useful if the mask was capable of fooling even someone at the Heavenly Passage Realm.

“Of course. I could make it so that even the Palace Master wouldn’t recognize you.”

Long Chen trusted her skills.

“Then quickly make me one!”

***

Since it would take some time for her to complete the mask, Long Chen stayed at the Heavenly Demon Palace a little longer.

Back in Three Demons City, the three Demon Elders were barely seated when the Second Demon Elder said, “Elder Brother, Third Brother, Xiaoyu asked me for materials to make a mask a couple of days ago. I failed to notice it at first, but then I thought of something.”

“What is it?”

“You should know about how Long Chen got here. He was being pursued by the imperial palace and found the Heavenly Demon Palace. Now that he has become stronger, he will definitely return for revenge. Xiaoyu doesn’t make masks without a purpose, and now she suddenly wants to make one after spending some time with Long Chen. Do you think that Long Chen would disguise himself and go to the imperial capital with the Demon Emperor Sword?”

The other two were visibly shocked and knew that it was a possibility. “That damned brat. He dares take the three secret techniques and the Demon Emperor Sword away from us?”

The First Demon Elder frowned. “There are three experts in the imperial palace: the Sword Emperor, the Sword Devil, and Lin Zichen. Long Chen might be strong, but he would die if he faced all three of them. It doesn’t matter if he dies, but our Demon Emperor Sword would end up in the hands of the Emperor! Once he has that, he will come and destroy us!”

The three of them realized how severe the consequences were.

“What should we do?”

“Go find the Palace Master. He would never let Long Chen do that,” the Second Demon Elder suggested.

“No.” The First Demon Elder shook his head. “Long Chen is his direct disciple. There is no reason for Zhao Qingyun to be unaware of his plan. He probably supports Long Chen! We cannot rely on Zhao Qingyun!”

“Then what should we do?” The Second Demon Elder was panicking.

“I say we stop him together. When he leaves the mountain, we will intercept him halfway and kill him! If we can’t kill him, we will need to at least take the sword away from him! We can fight against the Palace Master if we work together, so there’s no way we can’t defeat someone at the Eighth River Stage!” The Third Demon Elder was still angry about what had happened to him last time.

The First Demon Elder was worried too. “I think that’s the only way. Prepare yourselves and watch his movements as closely as possible. We must not let Long Chen leave with the sword, or we will perish ...”

***

Long Chen finally mastered the Demon Emperor Sword Technique and also received the mask Murong Yu had made. When he put it on, everything about him changed except for his body.

His mask still made him look like a handsome man, but it was someone older, around twenty-five years old. His face was sharp and mature.

Murong Yu was very happy with her work. “All you need are some mature-looking clothes and you can pass on as a twenty-five-year-old wandering cultivator.”

“Not bad. I can’t recognize myself.”

“When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow,” Long Chen said as he looked at himself in the mirror.

“Okat. I will see you off tomorrow!”

Just then, Zhao Qingyun appeared. Murong Yu knew they needed some time alone, so she left.

“Are you leaving tomorrow?” Zhao Qingyun didn’t want him to leave.

“I still need to take my revenge. Also, there’s something I need to do in the imperial capital. Now is the time for me to do so.”

Zhao Qingyun smiled. “Then I won’t stop you. Just be careful. I will wait for the good news of you decimating the imperial family.”

“Master, you’ve helped me so much. What if I gave you the entire kingdom?” Long Chen chuckled.

“That would be great. I’ve always hated the imperial city. Taking control of the kingdom would complete the dream of my ancestors,” Zhao Qingyun said with a sigh.

“Then I won’t disappoint you.” Long Chen smiled. “Master, do you have any techniques that belong to the Western Sea Kingdom? I need to play that part.”

The Cangyang Kingdom didn’t have someone as strong as Long Chen, so it would be hard to slip in without anyone investigating him.

“Of course. I have some advanced Earth-tier techniques. You can learn them while you travel.” Zhao Qingyun took out some books and gave them to him.

“Then you can await the good news.”

Long Chen put the book away and stared at the direction of the capital. There was nothing but killing intent in his eyes.
