Rise of the Demon God - Chapter 1332

"Those arrogant beings had attacked openly without being concerned about the Heavenly Emperor or the Demons," the woman replied. 

"Then why would they come here?" The Northern Emperor asked. "I don't understand anything."

"Even I'm not sure as to why they're here. I think the conversation between those two Heavenly Beasts would have given me some answers, but I wasn't able to hear what they talked about. They were too careful," The woman let out, sighing. 

"The man wasn't that careful. So it must be the work of the lady he talked to," she added. 

"Anyway, from what I could guess after hearing the conversation of that man with the Blood Dragon Emperor, I think the Heavenly Beasts are trying to save someone known as Long Chen. And they were probably trying to find the Blood Dragon Emperor."

"Even I don't know why the Blood Dragon Emperor was needed and where this Long Chen is trapped. I don't even know who this Long Chen is, nor do I care. Just let them do whatever they want."

"Don't annoy the Heavenly Beasts if you don't want the Immoral World to be destroyed. That's the only advice I'll give you," the lady said before she disappeared. 

"We would be careful. I understand that. But what about our lives? That Blood Dragon Emperor would return and kill us," the Western Emperor muttered, sighing. 

At first, he had hope that he could take down the Blood Dragon Emperor! He was optimistic. But it's only now that he realized how useless that whole notion was. Before the Blood Dragon Emperor, they were like fish on a chopping block. 

"I think we shouldn't stay here. Run away," the Western Emperor suggested. 

"Run away and go where? Do you know what you're talking about? This is the Immortal World! This is our home! We can't live in the Mortal world because of the restriction. Even if we live there, we'd have to live like a weakling!" The Southern Emperor protested.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Wait for our inevitable death?" The Western Emperor asked, angered.

"Even that death is better than living in the mortal worlds like weaklings! Moreover, it's not certain we will die! It's clear that wherever that green eyed man took the Blood Dragon Emperor is a dangerous place since it held his friend hostage!" the Southern Emperor said 

"Who knows, the Blood Dragon might die there," he added. "He would be a weakling in the Higher Worlds after all! And if he dies, then we'll be safe!"

"And what if he doesn't die and returns for our heads?" the Western Emperor asked. 

"Then we will ask him for mercy. What else can we do? Fall before him and remind him that you had nothing to do with the First Emperor! We already swore our allegiance to the Queen. What is one more person in that list as long as it helps us survive!" The Southern Emperor replied. 

"Who else is with me?" he asked. 

"I think the idea of the Southern Emperor is better than running away. And if we're sincere, the Blood Dragon Emperor would probably let us live! And who knows, it might not even come to that since he might die without returning." The Northern Emperor agreed. 

"I also think it's worth the risk," the Eastern Emperor also agreed. 

"See?" The Southern Emperor said, looking at the Southern Emperor. "Everyone else agrees too, but if you don't want to do it, I won't stop you from leaving. In fact, I would even wish you the best of luck in your endeavors."

"Sigh, whatever. I would listen to you too," the Western Emperor ultimately nodded. "I would stay and take the risk if you're willing to."

"That reminds me, I need to get back to the Empire. I told my army to come behind me. I better stop them before they leave. It'll be a useless effort otherwise," he said before he bit his farewell. He disappeared. 

"That's right. I also need to do that. I'll leave as well. Don't forget to inform me if something important happens," the Southern Emperor said before he disappeared as well. 

The Eastern Emperor was the last to leave. 

...

The Western Emperor returned to his palace and commanded his men to stop mobilization. The army had almost left, but they returned as they received a different command. 

Princess Mimi approached the Western Emperor. 

"Father, I heard you returned from the War. You stopped the men from leaving. It appears that you were victorious?" 

"Victorious? If you consider almost being killed as being Victorious, then yes. I was victorious," the Western Emperor nodded, sighing. 

"Almost killed?" Mimi asked as her face turned pale. "You're not harmed, are you? I'll call a physician!" 

"There's no need. I am perfectly safe," the Western Emperor nodded. "All thanks to that Long Chen."

"Thanks to Long Chen? What?!" Mimi exclaimed in shock. 

"Why are you acting so shocked? It's as if you know who that Long Chen is," the Emperor looked at Mimi suspiciously. 

" May I ask who this Long Chen is that you're talking about? I think I also knew a person known as Long Chen. But he's certainly not strong enough to save you," Mimi let out. 

"Heh, I already know. There must be many people known as Long Chen. But the Long Chen you know can't be the Long Chen I'm talking about," the Western Emperor exclaimed. 

"The Long Chen I'm talking about is probably the friend of a Heavenly Beast. Moreover, he is trapped in someplace. The Heavenly Beast is trying to save him," he added. 

"The Blood Dragon Emperor returned. And he was stronger than we expected. All the Emperors went to kill him, but we were too weak. We were like ants before the Blood Dragon Emperor, and we were just about to be killed."

"Fortunately, that Heavenly Beast stopped the Blood Dragon Emperor since he was in a hurry to leave. He forced the Blood Dragon Emperor to go with him."

As the Blood Dragon Emperor finished, Mimi signed a breath of relief. It appeared that the Long Chen she knew was different from the Long Chen her father was talking about. 

"Oh right, there was also a snake with them too. It was probably a Snake Monarch. I thought those went extinct. It's surprising to see one with my own eyes," the Western Emperor continued. "He also went with them?"

"A Snake Monarch was with them too? That means... The person who is trapped...."

"What happened? Why are you acting so strange today?" The Western Emperor asked, confused.
