Chapter 1393: Consequences

Most of the time, Long Chen was unaware that these people were chasing him. He didn't even know that they had killed the old lady who had saved his life when he was at his worst, all so they could get some clue to locate him. 

It was only when he was in the mountain, preparing to break through to the Immortal World. That was the time when he wasn't strong enough to face them. However, the reality was different now. 

"It's you, the Demon!" The envoys said, bringing out their weapons.  "Kill him before His Majesty finds out what we did!"

"It's certainly me," Long Chen smiled. He didn't attack directly. He wanted to savor this moment more. 

He casually snapped his fingers as he muttered a Chant. 

The chant was inaudible for the envoys, but they did hear the last words of Long Chen. "Dark Restriction."

Some invisible ropes came out of nowhere, trapping the three envoys. Their hands were tied by the invisible ropes, and so were their legs. 

The three of them dropped to the ground, losing their swords. No matter what they tried, they couldn't break the restriction. 

Long Chen smiled. "Don't be in a haste to die. You still have to see me do many more things."

He rubbed his hands lightly as he walked past the men who were lying on the ground. 

An invisible rope also appeared around their neck, which dragged their body behind Long Chen. 

Long Chen continued his slaughter as he went deeper into the Royal Palace. The three envoys could only watch him ruthlessly kill everyone, just like they had killed the old lady. 

They kept trying to free themselves, but they couldn't. The restriction was just too powerful.

After a short time, Long Chen reached the Royal Court. He found the doors closed and two guards standing outside the doors. 

His figure flickered as he appeared around the guards, grabbing their throat. 

Their struggles soon stopped as Long Chen crushed their throat. 

He tossed the bodies away. The bodies fell on the ground far away. 

After being done with all the minor things, he kicked the door open and stepped inside the Royal Court.

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at the door, wondering who dared to kick the door open like this. 

As they turned around, they found Long Chen standing there. Behind him, three men were being dragged. 

The eyes of the Northern Emperor didn't fall on the bodies. Instead, it fell on the eyes of Long Chen first, followed by his sword. 

"A demon with a Saint Emperor's Sword? May I ask what you're doing here?" The Northern Emperor asked.

Finding an opportunity, the. Envoys chimed in to clear themselves of any responsibility.  "My King, he is the half demon you told us to chase! It looks like he somehow survived!"

"So you spend even a full demon. That's disappointing. I was about to give you respect for no reason," The Northern Emperor commented. 

"So tell me. What brought you here. And why did you capture my men?" He further asked. 

"What brought me here? It's simple. Your death brought me here. I need to kill the traitor that betrayed the Saint Emperor!" Long Chen said. 

"Hmm? That idiot still lives? That's surprising. I thought he might be dead after...."

"After you backstabbed him while keeping his wife hostage?" He asked the Northern Emperor, completing his sentence. 

"So you think you can kill me," the Northern Emperor asked, laughing. 

"You think I can't?" Long Chen asked, laughing. 

He appeared behind the Northern Emperor within the next second, surprising him by the sudden appearance. The Northern Emperor pulled out his Sword, swinging it behind him. 

The sword sliced through Long Chen, who turned to smoke, appearing on the other side of his. 

The Northern Emperor once again swung his sword missing again. 

Long Chen was now standing back in his original position. 

"You know, I could have killed you like a thousand times by now?" Long Chen asked, smiling. "Anything else? Show me your best."

"Are you mocking me?" The Northern Emperor asked, laughing in anger. 

He split into tens of clones, all surrounding Long Chen. 

All the clones pulled out a dark knife. 

"Is that the cursed knife that killed anyone it wounds? The same knife that you used to take out the Saint King?" Long Chen asked, amused 

The Northern Emperor didn't answer. All the clones ran towards Long Chen, attacking at the same time. Only one of them was real though.

Long Chen didn't even flinch as he let all the clones attack. Instead, he selected one who was on the right, grabbed the wrist. 

He twisted the wrist of the Northern Emperor, stabbing his heart with his own knife. The same knife which was gifted to him by the Saint King and used by him to kill Saint King became the cause of his death. 

The knife stabbed the heart of the Northern Emperor, cursing him to death.

Long Chen pulled out the knife and kept it in his storage ring. The knife was a pretty good treasure. 

As for the Northern Emperor, he couldn't believe how Long Chen found the right one. How did he see through the trick?

He didn't realise that Long Chen now had the Buddha's Gaze, which helped him see the weakness of any body. And it also allowed him to see through such mirages. It didn't matter to him. 

These Mirage were like children's play. In fact, everything worked out the way he wanted. He wanted to kill the Northern Emperor using the cursed knife and that is what happened. 

After the Northern Emperor dropped to his knees as all his nerves turned black. Black lines started appearing on his face as well. The poison spread far and wide. 

Unlike the Saint King, he hadn't received a minor wound from the knife. Instead, his heart was stabbed. He couldn't even survive as long as the Saint King did. His body was paralyzed as he laid on the ground, unable to move. 

"Now, shall we start with you all?" Long Chen asked, turning to the ministers.

The Three Envoys had thought that they would see Long Chen die in the Royal Court, and they were going to be free, but it was completely opposite. Within seconds, Long Chen had wiped the entire Royal Court. Not even a single person was alive except the three envoys. 

"Now that you saw the death of everyone, it's your turn." Long Chen turned to the envoys. "But I can think about leaving you alive if you tell me about the floating castle in the sky."
