Chapter 237 - Infernal Island
Chapter 237 - Infernal Island
Hearing Ling Lei's words, Ling Chen didn't waste a second as he quickly flew down to the city. Though it was very interested in the Sky Barrier as well as the multitude of tiny bright light in the dark void, it wasn't as important and as urgent as meeting Old Yan.
Upon his arrival in the palace, the Sun Demi-God was already waiting for him. Though Fang Lan had killed her brother and slaughtered her nephew, she didn't look mad at all which somehow baffled Ling Chen.
As matter of fact, she became even more docile to the point one might even mistake her for one of his followers.
Under the Sun Demi-God's guidance, Ling Chen went to the Indoor imperial garden where they first met.
"So, where is he?" Abruptly asked Ling Chen as soon as they sat down.
Seeing the impatient look on Ling Chen's face, the Sun Demi-God was a little worried. Because even though Old Yan had returned from his trip to the Divine Demon Beast Region, he didn't come to see her personally despite knowing Ling Chen was there. He just sent her a message to pass on to him.
Nonetheless, the Sun Demi-God mustered all her courage as she told Ling Chen everything."He's not here. He just sent me a message saying that in two days, he'll open the Great Luo Martial God Tomb."
"And if you are still interested in knowing the truth about the Great Luo Martial God and the endless universe beyond this world, you should come to the Infernal Island which is located in the Chaotic Sea along with your key."
"I see." Murmured Ling Chen after hearing the Sun Demi-God's words. He could tell that Old Yan was avoiding him which didn't surprise him.
After everything that had happened, Old Yan didn't dare to meet him alone before the opening of the Tomb. He wasn't stupid. He could tell that Old Yan knew that he was aware of some of his his plan after staying in the Fire Phoenix Palace.
If it was before, he wouldn't care. But now that his strength has grown to a degree where he could effortlessly slaughter the Thunder Demi-God, he didn't dare to take any chances.
However, it was a different story in the Infernal Island two days later where all the human Demi-Gods and Beast Gods will gather.
"Ok then, get ready. We will leave for the Infernal Island in two days." Ling Chen added before he stood and left. Even though he didn't know where the so-called Infernal Island was located, he was sure that the Sun Demi-God knew. As such, he didn't even bother to ask her about it.
Seeing that Ling Chen didn't throw a fit and left peacefully after knowing that Old Yan didn't come to the city bust asked him to meet in the Infernal island instead, the Sun Demi-God released a sigh of relief.
Ever since Ling Chen stepped foot into the palace, she hasn't been able to sleep peacefully at all. It's like living with a ticking bomb next to her, she has no idea when it'd explode.
...
Time passed extremely fast, and very soon, two days have gone by and it was time to converge at the Infernal Island.
In the early morning of that day, the rays of the rising sun were warm, and the entire Fire Phoenix City emanated the fresh scent of the earth's atmosphere.
Even though things weren't going well for her in the past four days, the Sun Demi-God had an excited expression on her face. She's been waiting for that day for hundreds of years.
That was because today was the day she was going to enter the Great Luo Martial God Tomb. Though it was a very scary place with a ninety percent death rate, she didn't back down as it was her only chance to break free from everything.
After arranging everything and talking to her only disciples and family, the Sun Demi-God left the pace and flew towards the direction of the Infernal Island accompanied by Ling Chen.
In the sky above the endless ocean, both Ling Chen and the Sun Demi-God were flying at an extremely fast speed.
Whether it was the Sun Demi-God or Ling Chen, they didn't bring anyone with them. They both went alone.
Though Ling Chen didn't care that the Sun Demi-God came alone, the Sun Demi-God was kinda surprised to see that Ling Chen was all alone.
Not only that, the Red Devils and the two demon beasts that were with him seemed to have disappeared into thin air. She knew that they were all in the palace last night, but when she woke this morning, they were all gone.
Though she was kinda curious about their whereabouts, she didn't dare to ask Ling Chen about them.
After flying for over three hours, Ling Chen finally saw a small volcanic island in the distance with black smoke coming out of it.
"So, this is the Infernal Island." Murmured Ling Chen as he was looking at the volcanic island in the distance.
From its name, Ling Chen thought it a very scary place. But from the looks of it, it was nothing but a regular island with an erupting volcano.
As he got closer to the island, Ling Chen immediately noticed twenty people on the islands. All of them were exceedingly powerful.
Even without introduction, he could tell that these people were the human Demi-Gods and the Beast Gods along with some Peak Martial Saints expert.
However, what caught Ling Chen's attention was a barefoot and sloppy-looking old man dressed in a tattered robe.
As if the old man could feel that Ling Chen was looking at him, he suddenly raised his head and looked in their direction before saying." Hahaha, little girl, you finally arrived. You are the last one to arrive."
At the same time, the old man shifted his gaze towards Ling Chen who was landing on the ground, and said with a friendly and amiable smile on his face." And you must be little brother Chen. I've heard a lot about you, it's a pleasure to finally meet you."
