Rise of the Demon God

Chapter 1503 1503

He couldn’t believe this woman was so stupid. She thought they brought the Dragon Clan here? If that was the case, then she could easily be fooled. Since she was sure that they hadn’t killed her people, she wasn’t going to find them a threat, which was a perfect situation for him to fool her without fighting. She wasn’t a threat to him. 

Long Chen stopped midway. “Alright, you caught me. We didn’t destroy anything. We are just weak guides who were forced by the Dragon King to escort them here. Since the beginning, we had been trying to free ourselves, but we were unable to. Our life was in his hands. If we had said no, we would’ve been killed.”

”Fortunately, we managed to lose him as we all fell into this Maze of Death. Since then, we had been trying to find a way out when you came across us and attacked us for no reason,” he further stated. 

Hearing his answer, the White Tiger Princess nodded her head. “As I expected, the Dragons are here. Only they could be strong enough to kill our people without alerting anyone. So, how many of them are here?”

”There are around twenty of them here, including the Dragon King. I can’t say for sure, though. It’s quite possible that some of them died in this maze since it’s so dangerous.”

”Is that so? Twenty, huh. That’s too many. No wonder. However, you led them here. Tell me how you found out about this place? How did you meet the Dragons to tell them?”  The woman asked. 

Long Chen glanced back at Terra, who seemed fine now. Terra had opened his eyes. Long Chen also seemed to calm down, seeing that he was safe. As long as Terra lived, her path of escape was safe. 

”I found out about this place in a tomb. There were some clues that talked about this place. I managed to put the clues together and found this location. Unfortunately, one day when I was drunk, I talked about this out loud in a bar. That was my biggest mistake as I didn’t know a Dragon was there. They grabbed me and them and took us to the Dragon Realm where we were told to explain more.”

The White Tiger Princess frowned deeply. “That’s enough. I can put the pieces together from that point on. You were brought here with them, and you ended up in this maze.”

”That’s right. By the way, are you also here to kill that thing?” Long Chen asked, seemingly very serious. 

His biggest problem here in this realm was that he had no way to explain his presence here before. But because of this lady, he now had a valid excuse. He was forced to be here. With that, his guilt couldn’t be proven. He was innocent. Moreover, the blame for killing the White Tigers was also not on his head. 

Since he had managed to remove all the blames and troublesome things, there was no reason to have enmity with the White Tiger Clan. In fact, if he helped the Princess, he knew he could use her later. Not only could she help him with the resources he needed, but she could also help him leave this realm and go back to Zhu Chang. 

Moreover, he didn’t know why this lady was here but one thing he was sure of! She didn’t know who laid in this place. She probably didn’t know anything about Tian Shen. If he could convince her without giving too much information, he could also have her help in killing Tian Shen when they found him. 

Moreover, they were in a maze of Death. He had just met the White Tiger Princess. Even if he Killed her, what if he came across the White Tiger King next? That man was a God Beast King. He could kill him easily. The presence and the support of the Princess were like his insurance in case he met her father. 

As for how he knew she was the Princess, it was also very simple. Xun had told him already as soon as she saw the lady. The ring that she wore was the Royal Ring which only people in the Royal Households wore. 

”Kill what thing? What are you talking about?” The lady looked at Long Chen in confusion. “Are you all claiming you came to this tomb to kill something and not for the Flame of Origin?”

”Flame of Origin?” Long Chen didn’t even know what this meant, but if it brought people like her here, he was sure that this Flame of Origin must be really special.

Unlike Long Chen, Long Tian was more excited as soon as he heard about the Flame of Origin. He excitedly exclaimed, “Don’t tell me Flame of Origin is here too?!”

Long Chen ignored him momentarily. He needed to set his story straight first. He could ask about the Flame of Origin later. 

”You’re wrong. I don’t know about the Flame of Origin or what that even is. I only know about the person who went to sleep millions of years ago here. If he wakes up, the entire world will be in danger!” Long Chen exclaimed. 

”That’s why the Dragon King decided to come here,” he added. 

”Do you want me to believe that nonsense? Someone sleeps in this shabby place who can destroy the world?!” The Princess scoffed at Long Chen. 

”You don’t have to believe me. Just look around you, and you’ll get your answer. Do you know what this place is? It’s the Maze of Death! An artifact that was used to kill the Ice Phoenix Queen in the past. I don’t know if you know about this or not, but you should,” Long Chen explained. 

”The person who had this small toy which could destroy a God Beast King with ease, you think he isn’t a threat? Why else do you think the Dragon King would come here? He knows about the person who rests here… The person who not only killed one God Beast King but more than one,” he further added. 

”The Dragon King doesn’t want a future threat to continue existing, so he came here to destroy it himself before that thing could wake up from his slumber. Because if that person wakes up from his sleep, no one will be able to kill him!” Long Chen declared, using every bit of his convincing skills to try to convince the lady.
