Rise Of The Demon God

Chapter 1500 1500

　　"What else?"

　　"There are no paths that don't have negative energy, but that doesn't mean that there are no paths with positive energy. There are two paths where I sense only negative energy. But there is one path where I see a small amount of positivity along with lots of negative energy," Terra explained. 

　　"From what you told me about this place, I believe that path should be the right one. As for the negative energy on that path, it might be because it splits into wrong paths ahead as well, but if we focus only on positive energy, we should be on track to escape safely," he added. 

　　As Terra talked, Long Chen finally signed a breath of relief. He was worried for no reason. It seemed his plan hadn't failed entirely yet. 

　　"You know, you made me worried for a moment there." Long Chen rubbed his forehead. "But it's good that we know the right path. So which path is the right one? Wait, don't tell me just yet."

　　Terra weirdly looked at Long Chen. Why was he stopping him now?

　　"Tian, if we didn't have Terra, we would've had to guess. I want to see how right our guess would've been. So which would you select?" Long Chen asked. 

　　Long Tian couldn't help but laugh. Previously, Long Chen wanted to clear this place as soon as he could, and he was worried, but now that he had Terra, he has calmed down. He was also starting to relax and spend some time. 

　　Terra was really curious why Long Chen was talking to thin air, but he didn't ask. 

　　"I would've selected the center one," Long Tian answered. 

　　"I think the center would've been wrong. It would've been a common answer, either that or the first one.  I think the third would've been correct." Long Chen looked at Terra. "So, which is the right one?"

　　"The center one." Terra smiled wryly, selecting the path that Long Chen had just rejected. 

　　Hearing the answer, Long Tian flashed a bright smile. "I guess sometimes the common answer is the right answer."

　　Long Chen didn't respond. "You win one. There are thousands of choices, as you said. Let's see who leads by the end."

　　With great confidence, Long Chen ignored the two other paths and took the center one. He was somewhat happy that he was in this maze now. This made him even more relaxed, all because he knew he wasn't in this maze alone. He was sure that the White Tiger Clan was also here in this maze since they were in the same hallway. 

　　He was happy they were going to be trapped here while he found his way out of this place. 

　　Just as he had expected, all the White Tiger Clan members were separated, and all of them were inside the maze. 

　　Not many people recognized the maze except the White Tiger king. Seeing the symbols on the labyrinth, he remembered a story he had heard from his father, the previous King. 

　　That story talked about there existing a powerful being a long time ago. That being was insulted by the Ice Phoenix Queen, which enraged that person. In response, that person trapped the Ice Phoenix Queen in the maze. Since then, the Ice Phoenix Queen wasn't seen again. As she had died, another Ice Phoenix Queen received the God Beast Core of the clan. 

　　It was a maze that had killed a God Beast Queen. Even though the Ice Phoenix Queen was weaker than the White Tiger Patriarch even at that time, even the Patriarch used to say that he wasn't sure if he could come out from this place. 

　　Finding himself in this maze, the White Tiger King let out a deep sigh. "So this belongs to the person indeed... That's why this place has the Maze... If my daughter and others are trapped inside, they might have a hard time getting out. I need to find and help them!" The White Tiger King declared. 

　　Even though he had heard the stories about this maze, he was sure about his own strength. He was confident in getting out of this place because of his soul weapon, but he was more worried about his daughter and the other clan members. 

　　He needed to find them before it was too late. He shot straight inside the maze. He didn't even waste a second as he kept selecting the path and advancing ahead.

　　Back in the Black Tortoise Realm, the clone of Long Chen was brought to the castle. The guards at the castle were asked by the escorting guards of Long Chen had actually been here before. After getting a confirmation, the escorting guards left the custody of three intruders with the guards of the castle. 

　　The responsibility was now passed onto them to escort them to the Patriarch. Even the guards of the castle hadn't managed to find out that this Long Chen wasn't the real Long Chen. 

　　They thought he was the real one since they had heard about Zhu Chang being worried since Long Chen was lost. Now that he was back, they were relieved. Their prince was going to be happy now that his friend was back. action

　　If Long Chen were alone, they would've taken Long Chen straight to Zhu Chang, but since he had arrived with two strangers, they felt the need to inform the Patriarch and take them to him for further commands. 

　　They still hadn't freed the three from the restrictions. 

　　"Follow me inside." One of the guards commanded. "Don't lose yourself inside. I'll take you to the Patriarch."

　　The Demon Princess grew even more serious as she heard the mention of the Patriarch. She was the Princess of the Demon Realm, and now she was going to be before the Black Tortoise Clan Patriarch. 

　　The Black Tortoise Clan was known to be really intellectual. She had a feeling that he was going to recognize who she was at first glance. She really hoped that Long Chen was going to succeed. 

　　The three were escorted inside the Clan and taken to the hall of portals. The guards took them inside one of the Portals, which led straight to the courtyard of the Patriarch. 

　　The Patriarch of the Black Tortoise Clan and his wife lived inside a really simple courtyard. If someone were to see it, they would've had a hard time believing this was the place where the Patriarch lived. 

　　However, the Courtyard that was assigned to Long Chen's family was also nearby. 

　　As soon as Long Chen stepped out of the courtyard, he recognized that place, thanks to Long Chen's memories.
