153: Chaos is imminent

The many Disciples around the Arena were quickly dispersed by Mo Wentian.

At this moment, only Su Ronger, Su Lie, and Yang Lingchen and his mother remained on the Arena.

After a long while, Su Wanyun slowly released Yang Lingchen.

"Chener, how did you come to the Central Domain Divine Land? Where is your father?"

Su Wanyun looked at Yang Lingchen with eyes full of maternal love. Over these years, she had missed her son every single day, her heart filled with worry.

"Father is still in the Northern Profound Region. I came to the Central Domain Divine Land by accident."

"Mother, let's go back to the Northern Profound Region! I promised Father that I would bring you back." Yang Lingchen looked at his mother with great anticipation.

"Alright, let's go home." Su Wanyun nodded, then looked at Su Lie: "Father, I want to return to the Northern Profound Region."

"Returning to the Northern Profound Region is no problem, but this brat must call me Grandfather first." Su Lie said as he stroked his sparse, gray beard.

"Old man, you almost killed me with a palm strike earlier, and you still want me to call you Grandfather?"

Yang Lingchen said irritably. He really didn't have a good impression of Su Lie. If it hadn't been for the people from the Heavenly Emperor Palace back then, their family wouldn't have been separated for so many years.

"You little rascal, as cunning as a monkey, could I really have hit you?" Su Lie replied indignantly.

"Then why did you separate our family back then?" Yang Lingchen asked coldly.

"That can't be blamed on me! Back then, people from the Demon Cloud Sect were searching everywhere for your mother. If I hadn't brought your mother back to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, not only would your mother have been in danger, but you and your father would have been in danger too." Su Lie explained.

"So does that mean you don't oppose my mother and father being together?" Yang Lingchen stared directly at Su Lie.

"Hmph, you're already this old, is it of any use for me to oppose it?" Su Lie snorted coldly.

In truth, he had also felt deeply regretful for so many years about confining his daughter in the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

"For my mother's sake, I'll acknowledge you as my grandfather for now." Yang Lingchen said.

"What's going on with you colluding with the Yao Race? The outside world is spreading rumors that you colluded with the Yao Race and stole the heavenly martial divine pearl." Su Lie asked in a deep voice.

"Bullshit! These people covet the heavenly martial divine pearl in my possession and dare to frame me for colluding with the Yao Race. Sooner or later, I will wipe out their entire clans."

Then, Yang Lingchen explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

"Preposterous! These sanctimonious scoundrels actually dared to commit such dirty and ugly acts."

Su Lie's face turned furious instantly, then he said in a deep voice: "However, you possessing the heavenly martial divine pearl and the Sword Cultivator Legacy is a huge hidden danger for you. Now that your identity is exposed, the situation on the continent is about to fall into chaos. You had better raise your cultivation level quickly during this period, otherwise, you will face immense danger."

"The world is falling into chaos? What does that mean?" Yang Lingchen frowned slightly.

"According to reliable information, the Seal of the Heavenly Absolute War God in the Western Demonic Region has cracked, and the Demon Race may descend upon the human world at any time." At this moment, Su Lie's expression was incomparably grave.

"It's that serious?" Yang Lingchen frowned and asked.

Regarding the Demon Race, Yang Lingchen had also learned about them in the Heavenly Martial Secret History. They were a bloodthirsty, vicious race, inherently cruel, and naturally hostile toward humans.

In ancient times, if the Heavenly Absolute War God hadn't appeared, the Human Race of the Heavenly Martial Continent might have been completely wiped out.

Yang Lingchen hadn't expected that in this era, the Demon Race would strike again.

"The situation is far more serious than we imagined, especially for you. If the Demon Emperor finds out you possess the heavenly martial divine pearl and the Sword Cultivator Legacy, the consequences would be unimaginable." Su Lie said heavily.

"Demon Emperor? What is his strength?" Yang Lingchen asked in a deep voice.

"The Demon Emperor from a million years ago had strength comparable to the Heavenly Absolute War God, and his cultivation level reached the God Entry Realm. However, after that earth-shattering battle, the Demon Emperor was killed by the Heavenly Absolute War God, and the other Demon Race members were sealed in the Western Demonic Region by the Heavenly Absolute War God." Su Lie said with a grave expression.

"Then why didn't the Heavenly Absolute War God completely exterminate the remnants of the Demon Race back then?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"Actually, the Heavenly Absolute War God wanted to wipe out the entire Demon Race, but he was also seriously injured at the time. Plus, the Demon Race still had many powerful elders, so the Heavenly Absolute War God had no choice but to use great Divine Ability to Seal the Demon Race in the Western Demonic Region." Su Lie said.

"Then has the Demon Emperor of this generation also broken through to the God Entry Realm?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"According to my estimation, even if the Demon Emperor of this generation hasn't broken through to the God Entry Realm, he has at least reached the Peak of the Half-step God Realm, far beyond what someone like me at the Peak of the Saint Realm can compare to." Su Lie said in a deep voice.

"I can't be bothered with these annoying matters. I am not a Saint. What does the chaos of the world have to do with me? I will take my mother back to my Northern Profound Region. As for the Demon Race, as long as they don't provoke me, it's fine. If they provoke me, then they can just wait for their clan to be exterminated!" Yang Lingchen's eyes revealed a trace of icy coldness.

"Pfft."

"Disciple, Master likes this arrogant and domineering side of you." Su Ronger chuckled.

"Hehe... It's a pity you are my cousin, otherwise I wouldn't mind taking you." Yang Lingchen smiled and said.

"You're asking for a beating! Not only did you lie to me for so long, but you also dare to take advantage of me." Su Ronger scolded coquettishly.

"Alright, you young people chat, I'll leave first."

After Su Lie finished speaking, he flashed away and instantly disappeared from the Arena.

Wuji Sword Sect.

"What did you say? Yang Lingchen is Su Lie's grandson?" Situ Canglan said, his face full of shock.

"Yes, Sect Master. Our people just sent a Sound Transmission; Yang Lingchen killed Su Beiming." A deacon of the Wuji Sword Sect said with a grave expression.

"How did this brat's strength grow so fast?" A look of incomparable shock appeared on Situ Canglan's face.

One must know that Su Beiming's strength was the same as his, both at the eighth layer of the Saint Realm. Now that Su Beiming had been killed by Yang Lingchen, it meant that he might not necessarily be Yang Lingchen's opponent.

"Has my father come out of seclusion?" Situ Canglan looked up and asked.

"The Old Sect Master's scheduled time to come out of seclusion is within these few days; it should be soon." The deacon said.

"Notify the other Sects for this Sect Master, tell them I have urgent matters to discuss." A glimmer of shrewdness appeared in Situ Canglan's eyes.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Blood Demon Sect.

Yueya Hall.

Dugu Yueya, dressed in black satin robes, suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze emitted a terrifying aura.

"Hahaha..."

"Finally broke through to the ninth layer of the Saint Realm. In the future, the entire Heavenly Martial Continent will surely bow at my feet." Dugu Yueya laughed wildly.

"Dong dong dong."

Just at this moment, a burst of urgent knocking came from outside the hall.

"Come in." Dugu Yueya said.

A middle-aged man with a long, narrow scar on his face walked in and said respectfully: "Young Master, good news."

"What good news?" Dugu Yueya asked.

"Just received a Sound Transmission from a secret agent. Yang Lingchen is at the Heavenly Emperor Palace, and he is the grandson of the Heavenly Emperor Palace Master, Su Lie." The Scar-faced Man said excitedly.

"Very good, Little Bastard, I have finally found you. This time, no one can save you."

Thinking about how Yang Lingchen threw a woman at him and beat him into serious injury, Dugu Yueya was filled with rage. For so many years, this was the first time he had been schemed against like this.

"Additionally, Situ Canglan of the Wuji Sword Sect sent a Sound Transmission, inviting you to discuss a major matter." The Scar-faced Man continued.

"Situ Canglan? There's no need to pay attention to that idiot. Does he even deserve to compete with me for the heavenly martial divine pearl? He simply doesn't know what's good for him."

A look of disdainful cold laughter appeared on Dugu Yueya's face.
