Divine Demon Eye!
Long Chen's left eye turned pitch black, representing the Demon Path, while his right eye turned bone-white, signifying the Divine Path. His gaze penetrated all obstacles. Though he was underground, he could clearly see everything happening on the surface.
Right now, a young man in blue robes was leading two groups straight toward the Chen Xin Chamber. The first was led by Su Miaoyu, with over a hundred members of the Su Family in tow. The second was led by Long Hen, also with more than a hundred members of the Long Family.
The blue-robed youth leading them was none other than Long Yu, the son of the Long Family's Great Elder, Long Tian.
The entire reason Su Jun had chased Long Xin to the Chen Xin Chamber in the first place had been orchestrated by Long Yu.
Long Chen's heart sank. The Su Family Head, Su Feng; the Great Elder, Su Kun; the Second Elder, Su Lie… Over a hundred members of the Su Family are here!
The Su Family Head, Su Feng, was at the War Ancestor Realm. The two elders were at the War Maniac Realm, and the strongest of the remaining Su Family members were at the War Master Realm.
Empowered by the Divine Demon Secret Technique, Dragon Blood Boiling, Long Chen didn't fear the two elders. However, he was certainly no match for Su Feng of the War Ancestor Realm. Furthermore, the Su Family had overwhelming numbers. Even with over a hundred members of the Long Family present, they would likely be useless. After all, the current head of the Long Family was Second Elder Long Hen.
No wonder Long Yu didn't come down with Su Jun. He went to inform the Su Family! Long Chen continued to scan the crowd with his Divine Demon Eye. It seems there are no deacons from the Martial Ancestor Ground Institute among them.
"Young Master, I haven't perceived the aura of anyone at the Half-step War King Realm," Xia Duoduo reported. "The strongest one here is the Su Family Head, Su Feng, who is at the First Layer Heaven of the War Ancestor Realm."
Long Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this. Xia Duoduo was my mother's most trusted handmaiden; her Perception should be flawless! Since no deacons from the Martial Ancestor Ground Institute are present, we still have a chance to salvage this situation, even though our position was exposed early and things have changed.
Xin'er is only lightly injured and unconscious; it's nothing serious. Long Chen propped Long Xin against the wall before using his Divine Demon Eye to check on his father.
He clenched his fists. Father's injuries have mostly recovered. He should wake up within another hundred breaths.
We can't escape now, and we can't fight them. All I can do is stall for time. Once a hundred breaths pass and Father wakes up, we can turn the tables! By then, we won't have to fear anyone, not even the deacons from the Martial Ancestor Ground Institute if they show up!
Outside, Su Miaoyu and the others had stopped around the entrance to the Chen Xin Chamber.
With her hands clasped behind her back, Su Miaoyu stared at the entrance and asked with a smirk, "Cousin Su Jun, how are you enjoying yourself down there? Have you killed Long Chen yet?"
The Su Family members smirked knowingly, all assuming that Su Jun, having chased Long Xin into the secret chamber, was currently taking his pleasure. In stark contrast, the members of the Long Family looked utterly humiliated. Powerless to resist, they could only bow their heads in shame and fury.
After all, Long Xin was their young miss, and Long Chen was their Young Clan Leader. The thought of their young miss being violated and their Young Clan Leader likely being dead was an unbearable blow to their dignity, even though the Long Family had already submitted to the Su Family. Theirs had once been the number one family in Dragon City, superior to the Su Family, but now the roles were reversed.
Su Miaoyu's willow-like brows furrowed. "Hm?" Why is there no response?
The Su Family Head, Su Feng, shot Long Yu a cold glare. "Are you trying to make a fool of us?" he demanded in a low voice.
Long Yu's expression changed instantly. He scrambled to explain, "Family Head Su, I wouldn't dare, not even if you gave me a thousand times the courage! I personally led Master Jun here! I heard Long Chen's voice with my own ears and saw Master Jun enter the secret chamber with my own eyes! Master Jun himself ordered me to report back to the Su Family. He said he would go down first to capture Long Chen and have his fun with Long Xin!"
His words drew expressions of both contempt and suspicion from the Su Family. They were disgusted that Long Yu would so shamelessly permit Su Jun to toy with Long Xin and even announce it publicly. Yet they were also suspicious because he didn't seem to be lying. If that was the case, why was there still no response from below?
"Everyone, please calm down! I'll go down and see for myself!" Long Yu ground his teeth and prepared to descend into the chamber.
Before he could take a step, however, a middle-aged man stopped him. It was the Great Elder of the Long Family, Long Tian—Long Yu's own father.
"Your Cultivation is about the same as Su Jun's," Long Tian said. "If he ran into trouble, you going down would be useless!" He paused, then turned to Long Hen. "If anyone is going, it should be the family head!"
Long Hen's breath caught in his throat. "Long Tian, you...!" he sputtered, his face flush with anger.
Just then, a voice echoed from the secret chamber below. "Su Miaoyu, you bitch! Do you dare come down?"
Instantly, everyone's expression flickered. Long Chen was still alive—and apparently unharmed! But there was still no sound from Su Jun.
"This..." A cold chill ran down Long Yu's spine, and he swallowed hard. Thank goodness Dad stopped me just now.
"Long Chen! You shameless beast! How dare you curse at me?" Su Miaoyu's beautiful face turned livid. She stared at the entrance to the chamber, her voice filled with anguish. "If Shangguan Pojun hadn't happened to pass by and save me the other night, I would have already been defiled by you!
"I promised you, I even begged you! I told you that I would give you my body after we were married, but you insisted on violating my will!
"Do you take me, Su Miaoyu, for some common woman from a Green Tower? My Su Family may not be a great and noble clan, but we still have our dignity!
"Since you were the one who was heartless and sought death first, then I will grant your wish!"
As her words fell, Su Miaoyu's expression turned frigid, and she started walking toward the secret chamber.
