Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 172 - The Twenty Young Deities And Long Zhentian.

Upon hearing Long Meng's words, Ling Chen couldn't help but frown a little. The main reason he didn't want to help Long Meng by getting rid of the Soul Devouring Poison in his sea of consciousness was that he didn't want to make any powerful enemy in Blue Dragon City.

Even though he didn't know who had implanted the soul-devouring poison in Long Meng's sea of consciousness, he was a hundred percent sure that this person was a very powerful existence.

Though Long Meng wasn't that strong and was only a peak Martial Sovereign realm warrior, he was still a member of the Long Family.

Not only the Long Family was one of the nine ancient strongest families in the Sun Demi-God's Domain, but they were also the ruler and the founder of Blue Dragon City.

The presence of the Long Family in Blue Dragon City was like his Ling Family in the Heavenly Demon Sect's Domain. They were like gods and not many people would dare to offend them.

Yet, someone dared to implant a soul-devouring poison in Long Meng's sea of consciousness, a member of the Long Family.

Furthermore, from the looks of things, Long Meng didn't even dare to report his situation to the Long Family which clearly had the means to easily get rid of his problems and punished whoever did that, but instead, he came to him, a perfect stranger.

Ling Chen wasn't that stupid to help Long Meng and incited the wrath of whoever had implanted the soul-devouring poison in his sea of consciousness.

It's not like he was afraid, but he didn't want to make enemies needlessly and messed up his peaceful life in Blue Dragon City.

However, he didn't expect that he would unconsciously make a powerful enemy just by saving and helping the pair of pitiful mother and daughter, the very thing he was trying so hard to avoid.

Still, he wasn't mad or regretted his action. Even if he had known beforehand that saving the pair of mother and daughter would anger some powerful people, he would still do it without any hesitation.

"Who is that person you're referring to, benefactor." Calmly asked Ling Chen as he was looking at Long Meng.

"One of the twenty Young Deities, young master Long Zhentian." Blurted out Long Meng with a nervous and frightened expression on his face.

Just mentioning the name of that person was enough to send a cold icy chill down Long Meng's spine.

However, while Long Meng was waiting to see the frightened expression on Ling Chen's face after mentioning the name of Long Zhentian, something beyond his comprehension happened.

"Amitabha. Twenty Young Deities, Long Zhentian, I am afraid this poor monk doesn't know what or who you are talking about?" Answered Ling Chen with an oblivious expression on his face.

Long Meng gasped in shock after hearing Ling Chen's words. Almost all the people in the Heaven Suppression Region have heard about Long Zhentian and the Twenty Young Deities before.

They were as famous and popular as the Ten Demi-Gods of the Heaven Suppression Region.

'Was this monk living under a rock or cave!' Long Meng thought inwardly as he was looking at the oblivious expression on Ling Chen's face.

He could clearly tell that Ling Chen wasn't lying, and he was right. Ling Chen didn't know anything about Long Zhentian and the Twenty Young Deities.

He only did some research about the Ten Demi-Gods when he came to the Heaven Suppression Region. Other than that, he didn't really care about the ancient families and the so-called geniuses of the Heaven Suppression Region because none of them could pose a threat to him.

After seeing that Ling Chen really didn't know anything about the Twenty Young Deities and Young master Long Zhentian, Long Meng proceeded on explaining everything to him.

According to Long Meng, the Twenty Young Deities were the most powerful and outstanding younger generations of the Heaven Suppression Region.

They were all below the age of forty. However, they had all broken through the Martial Saint Realm years ago.

They had the power to jump rank and challenge an opponent that was a rank higher than them. No one among the younger generations could compete against them.

They were all prodigies and supreme geniuses in the eyes of the world. Also, they were all descendants of great powers.

The Twenty Young Deities were supreme existence in Heaven Suppression Region and their strength was enough to deter the world. Even the older generations found them dreadful and would show them respect.

Furthermore, they didn't only call them Young Deities because they were all unparalleled geniuses, but because everyone believed that they would someday break through the mysterious and unattainable Martial God Realm.

As for Long Zhentian, aside from being the top amongst all of the youngest generations in the Long Family, he was also one of the legendary Twenty Young Deities.

From this point alone, one could see just how powerful and frightening he was.

Upon hearing Long Meng's explanation, Ling Chen finally understood why Long Meng looked shocked and surprised when he said that he didn't know anything about Long Zhentian and the Twenty Young Deities.

It turned out that they were very famous and powerful as well. Nonetheless, he didn't look impressed or afraid after hearing about them.

"Amitabha. Benefactor, could you then tell this poor monk the relationship between that young lad Long Zhentian and the pair of mother and daughter?" Ling Chen asked again with an amiable smile on his face while still keeping the appearance of the wise and accomplished monk.

Seeing that Ling Chen was still calm and composed even after he'd explained just how powerful and terrifying Long Zhentian was, Long Meng was lost for words.

'It seems like this monk is even more frightening than I thought.' He inwardly thought before he started explaining the connection between Long Zhentian and the pair of mother and daughter.

According to him, aside from being domineering and arrogant, Long Zhentian was also frivolous. He's extremely handsome and somewhat of a player by nature but many ladies were willing to fall prey to him anyway because of his power and background.

However, there was one peerless beauty that had refused to fall prey to him or become his little toy and that lady was Wanxue.

Even though she came from a poor family and was a regular mortal, she refused to become one of Long Zhentian's conquest.

Still, Long Zhentian didn't do anything shady or underhanded despite Wanxue's refusal, he was still trying to use his charm and wealth to conquer her.

However, everything changed five years ago when Long Zhentian came out of a long seclusion and found out that Wanxue had gotten married and even gave birth to a little girl.

Long Zhentian was furious after knowing that. Even though there wasn't anything between him and Wanxue yet, he had already considered her as his woman.

As such, he didn't believe that someone in Blue Dragon City would dare to go after one of his women. To make matters worst, the guy was only a lowly merchant.

In a fit of rage, Long Zhentian slaughtered the entire family of both Wanxue and the husband.

As for the husband, he tortured him before he eventually killed him. Even though he didn't kill Wanxue at the end, he fractured her soul and turned her into a vegetable.

Ever since then, no one dared to get close or help the pair of mother and daughter openly as they were afraid of inciting the wrath of Long Zhentian.

Many people even cursed at her and humiliated her because they believed that she was blessed, yet she did not appreciate it, especially the ladies. To them, being fancy by the great Long Zhentian was the best thing that could ever happen to a young girl.

Furthermore, It would be fine if Wanxue was married to another powerful and wealthy character, but she was married to a lowly merchant instead.

Upon hearing Long Meng's explanation, Ling Chen couldn't help but shake from anger as he uttered: " Amitabha, Oh merciful Buddha. What an evil and domineering child."

"Anyway, this pair of mother and daughter are now under the protection of this poor monk. Tell that young master of yours and the Long Family that one might be able to survive an act of God, but no one can survive a self-brought calamity." Ling Chen said nonchalantly before he went inside without giving Long Meng another glance.

Ling Chen's remark was very light and calm, but it contained a bloody and ruthless warning.
