"Don't worry. I, Xiao Chen, always keep my word." Xiao Chen replied indifferently, and then he paused for a moment before he continued. "Clan King Dongguo, just leave one of your subordinates behind. The rest of them, including you, should leave this place?"
Invincible Dongguo glanced deeply at Xiao Chen, and then he turned his head slightly and ordered Dongguo Wuwo, "Alright, I'll take this gamble. I hope I isn't blind."
"Wuwo, you stay behind. You must bring Xiyue safely back to the clan. If anything happens to Xiyue because of you, then … you can take your own life to atone for your crimes!"
"Err … yes." Dongguo Wuwo was shocked, and he hurriedly expressed his stance. "Clan King, don't worry. I guarantee with my head that I'll definitely bring the princess back safely. If Xiao Chen doesn't keep his word, then I'll definitely kill him first, and then I'll take my own life to atone for my crimes."
"Mmm."
Invincible Dongguo nodded with satisfaction, and then he turned around to face Xiao Chen once more. "Xiao Chen, I have fulfilled all your requests. You don't have any other requests, right?"
"That's all."
Xiao Chen spoke in a straightforward manner. He didn't make any more excessive requests because he knew when to stop. It wasn't a good thing for him to infuriate Invincible Dongguo, and it might even cause Invincible Dongguo to give up on Dongguo Xiyue. That would be … fucking hell!
"Let's go."
Invincible Dongguo was a true man. He took one last long glance at Dongguo Xiyue who was being held hostage by Xiao Chen, and then he led his subordinates and left explosively in the direction of the Grand-Orient Forbidden Area. He wasn't faking it, and he was very open and aboveboard.
Xiao Chen watched Invincible Dongguo's figure disappear completely, and he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He could sense that Invincible Dongguo had truly left, so he withdrew his gaze and looked at Dongguo Wuwo before he smiled faintly. "Dongguo Wuwo, how have you been?"
"Kid, don't get too full of yourself! Hurry up and let her go, or I'll make living worse than death for you! If you don't want me to live, then I'll drag you down with me, hmph! "
Dongguo Wuwo was infuriated when he saw Xiao Chen's smiling face. He had failed to protect Dongguo Xiyue and was blamed by Dongguo Invincible. Now, he was trying to redeem himself. If he still couldn't bring Dongguo Xiyue back safely, he would definitely die. There was no doubt about it.
"Don't worry, I will definitely release him, but it will take some time. After all, your king and the other three hypocrites, the Divine King, haven't really gone far," Xiao Chen replied calmly.
"You … you don't keep your word? You're courting death! " When he heard that Xiao Chen didn't intend to release them immediately, Dongguo Wuwo was instantly infuriated, and he almost couldn't restrain himself from directly attacking and killing. However, when he recalled that Dongguo Xiyue was still in Xiao Chen's hands, he forcefully restrained himself in the end.
"Who's not trustworthy?" Xiao Chen said innocently, "You didn't hear this Emperor's condition clearly. This Emperor wants the four Divine Kings to leave a distance of 150 million kilometers from here before this Emperor will release them. Dongguo Wuwo, I didn't say anything wrong, right?"
"This … that's true, but …" Dongguo Wuwo was speechless. However, he was anxious in his heart, and he didn't have the time to waste with Xiao Chen. If this continued, who knew when Xiao Chen would release Dongguo Xiyue?
The longer this dragged on, the easier it would be for accidents to occur. If something happened to Dongguo Xiyue again, then he would definitely die without a burial ground, and it was even to the extent that not even his bones would be left. Because Dongguo Invincible would personally end his life.
"There are no buts. This Emperor always keeps his word." Xiao Chen indifferently interrupted Dongguo Wuwo. Although he promised to release Dongguo Xiyue, he had to ensure his own safety.
"You …"
Dongguo Wuwo wanted to berate Xiao Chen angrily, yet he forcefully restrained himself in the end. He took a deep breath and calmed his breathing before he said with a dark expression, "Xiao Chen, exactly how long do you need to release my clan's Seventh Princess? There has to be a time, right? "
"This … let me think about it." Xiao Chen acted as if he was pondering. After a long time, when Dongguo Wuwo was growing more and more impatient, he said slowly, "Around a month …"
"What!? A month? Why don't you just die!? "Dongguo Wuwo was infuriated by Xiao Chen's words." Kid, you're intentionally making things difficult for me, right? Could it be that you want me to accompany you for a month? "
"Hey hey! Pay attention to your manners! Could it be that all the elders of your Dongguo Royal Clan are so rude and unreasonable? It seems to me that your clan's King is quite polite and graceful, so why are you so terrible? "
Xiao Chen had just forced the four Divine Kings away and obtained a thousand extremely precious earth-rank divine roots, so he was in a great mood, and it caused his words to become humorous.
"Enough!"
Dongguo Wuwo roared furiously. "Three days, I'll only give you three days. After three days, you must release my clan's Seventh Princess. Otherwise … otherwise you'll be a despicable person, and you'll die a horrible death …."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Chen shouted coldly and interrupted Dongguo Wuwo's furious roar, and his gaze was like a wolf's as he stared at the slightly stunned Dongguo Wuwo.
He said coldly, "Dongguo Wuwo, do you have the qualifications to negotiate with this Emperor? This Emperor said that it'll be a month, so it'll be a month. No one can change that. If you continue to curse and infuriate this Emperor, then this Emperor won't release her. What can you do to me? "
"You …. Alright, you win." Dongguo Wuwo was at his wit's end when he was threatened by Xiao Chen, and he could only swallow his anger.
"That's more like it. Haha." Xiao Chen smiled lightly, and he flew towards Da Huang's group of four. He didn't forget to call out to Dongguo Wuwo. "Follow this Emperor. Remember, don't play tricks with this Emperor. Otherwise …."
"You're the boss now. I don't dare to play tricks with you." Dongguo Wuwo said with a smirk on his face. In his heart, he wanted nothing more than to tear this detestable Xiao Chen into a thousand pieces. He was confident that with his half-step Divine King's strength, he would be able to defeat Xiao Chen for sure.
Xiao Chen carried Dongguo Xiyue and flew at the front, while Dongguo Wuwo followed from a distance of 100,000 zhang. It was a strange scene, and it was rather amusing.
Even though he had a hostage in his hands, Xiao Chen didn't dare to let his guard down. He released his divine sense outwards with all his might, monitoring the movements of the grass in a radius of 10,000 li.
Dongguo Wuwo looked honest on the surface, but in his heart, he was searching for an opportunity to kill Xiao Chen. Unfortunately, he discovered that Xiao Chen didn't have any flaws at all. So, he could only swallow his anger and take it one step at a time.
Even though he wasn't flying very quickly, it didn't even take two hours for Xiao Chen to get close to the area where Da Huang's group of four were.
"Hmm? Something's not right. " Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. He felt that something was not right in front of him, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
The illusion array and barrier he had set up were not destroyed, but he felt that something was wrong. So, he temporarily stopped and carefully observed and sensed, hoping to find out what was wrong.
"Why did he suddenly stop?" When Dongguo Wuwo saw that Xiao Chen had suddenly stopped, he instantly felt a little puzzled. He looked around and also used his powerful divine sense to sense the surroundings, but he didn't seem to find anything wrong.
Dongguo Wuwo thought that Xiao Chen was deliberately mystifying things and even toying with him. So, he said mockingly, "Xiao Chen, don't try to be mystifying. I won't fall for it, hehe …"
Being disturbed by Dongguo Wuwo, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shout coldly, "Shut up, don't be noisy …"
"Pop."
"Pop."
Right at this moment, something strange happened. Two figures appeared out of thin air at almost the same time, and then they attacked Xiao Chen from the left and right like two terrifying fiendgods. However, they didn't attack Dongguo Wuwo.
"There's an ambush! Damn it! " Xiao Chen instantly understood what was wrong. It turned out that there was an expert who was far stronger than him lying in ambush here. Moreover, the method of the ambush was extremely brilliant.
"Ambush? Two Divine Kings! Oh my god! " Dongguo Wuwo was shocked. If even he didn't sense an ambush, then it meant that the person lying in ambush was even stronger than him. He was a half-step Divine King, so if there was an existence stronger than him, who else could it be if it wasn't the Divine King?
