216: It's cracking! It's going to crack!

"But Big Brother Chen, you don't even know the location of the Eastern Demon Alliance's capital."

Bai Jun tried to calm Chen Heng down.

He no longer expected Chen Heng to go back and report his safety first; he only hoped they could leave tomorrow morning.

Bai Jun had been following Chen Heng for several days and truly needed some rest.

"Who said I don't know?" Chen Heng pulled out a map of the Eastern Demon Alliance and pointed to a red-marked area in the center of the map.

"This Divine Demon Domain is right in the very center of the entire Eastern Demon Alliance. If I go fast, I'll be there in little over a day."

"How could I forget about that..." Bai Jun sighed helplessly.

"Big Brother Chen, then give me one night. I'll prepare some Medicinal Pills for the journey."

Bai Jun dismissed his ongoing studies, stood up, and patted the dust off his backside.

"Alright, then we'll depart tomorrow morning to deal with that wicked Dragon."

Chen Heng nodded. Just as he put away his black fiend blade, intending to go back and rest, he saw a Demon Slave with rolling eyes and a trembling body running towards him, wielding a cleaver.

"Kill you..."

"Sigh..." Chen Heng grabbed the Demon Slave's head and flung him away, turning him into a shooting star that vanished into the night sky.

Out of sight, out of mind, I suppose... Why does this wicked Dragon feel like getting covered in excrement?

A toad doesn't bite, but it's disgusting.

"Alright, no one in Golden Tiger City can harm me, even if they all come at once. Focus on refining your pills. I'm going back to lie down for a bit."

"Oh."

...Throughout the night, a Demon Slave, looking like he had epilepsy, was occasionally thrown out of Chen Heng's room.

Chen Heng's original plan was just to take Bai Jun and Snake Green to the Divine Demon Domain to see how arrogant that wicked Dragon truly was.

But the commotion was too great, startling even the Zhu Ri siblings, who still had their bandages on.

Before dawn, Chen Heng, Bai Jun, Snake Green, and the Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang siblings were all seated in the main hall.

"..." Chen Heng's old face was as dark as the bottom of a pot; a few people could even see his temples throbbing.

It seemed his blood pressure had skyrocketed to at least two hundred and fifty.

"Brother Chen, actually, once we leave the Eastern Demon Alliance, we won't be affected by the black qi."

Zhu Ri had been trying to dissuade Chen Heng ever since he learned Chen Heng was going to confront the wicked Dragon.

Although he had never seen the wicked Dragon with his own eyes, he could infer a thing or two from various ancient records and legends.

"There's no need to get angry with a guy who's been Sealed..."

"Don't try to persuade him." Bai Jun shook his head. He already knew the wicked Dragon's fate.

Other than being made into a Nine-Revolutions Great Dragon, the wicked Dragon would have no other outcome.

"You two should rest and recover in Golden Tiger City. Bai Jun and Little Green will come with me." Chen Heng didn't say another word, stood up, slung his black fiend blade and thousand-year profound iron spear over his back, and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother Chen, since you're going, my sister and I must follow."

Zhu Ri stood up to follow, but Chen Heng stopped him with a single look.

"With all those injuries, you two shouldn't go. You'll only hold me back."

"But, the Divine Demon Domain isn't like an ordinary large city; it's a floating island suspended in mid-air."

"And there's an incredibly sturdy defensive formation around the Divine Demon Domain. Records say it was developed in ancient times to Seal the wicked Dragon."

"Even His Majesty, the Demon Emperor, cannot break it with brute force."

Zhu Ri's words indeed made Chen Heng stop. He turned to look at Zhu Ri.

"Floating island? Defensive formation?"

"That's right. Ancient texts record the birth and purpose of the Divine Demon Domain; that place was specifically created to suppress the wicked Dragon."

Zhu Ri quickly winked at Zhu Chang, who understood and immediately went to fetch the ancient texts with relevant records.

A few minutes later, Zhu Chang ran back, carrying a large pile of crumpled ancient texts.

"Brother Chen, look." Zhu Ri took out the thickest ancient text and pointed to the section about the birth and purpose of the Divine Demon Domain.

"The Divine Demon Domain was born two thousand four hundred years ago. At that time, the heavens collapsed and the earth caved in, and the wicked Dragon also appeared then."

"At that time, the Yao Race had seven Emperor-level powerhouses. These seven Emperor-level powerhouses burned their Life Qi to barely suppress the wicked Dragon."

"But even after being suppressed, the aura emitted by the wicked Dragon would cause any living creature that came into contact with it to undergo a drastic change in temperament."

"This also led to the Yao Race splitting into two alliances, East and West."

"This is also why the relationship between the Western Demon Alliance and the Human Race has always been good; they were not contaminated by the black qi."

"And the reason why the Yao Race of the Eastern Demon Alliance is irritable and warlike is also due to the wicked Dragon's influence."

"It wasn't until a thousand years ago, with the appearance of the current Demon Emperor, His Majesty, that the Eastern Demon Alliance truly calmed down."

"Otherwise, the current Eastern Demon Alliance might have become a death zone."

After speaking, Zhu Ri looked up at Chen Heng.

He imagined that Chen Heng, upon hearing that seven Emperor-level powerhouses had barely managed to Seal the wicked Dragon, would give up the idea of confronting it.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Heng became even more excited after hearing it.

He even looked as if he was rubbing his fists and eager to try.

"So, this wicked Dragon is very strong?"

"Yes, very strong..." Zhu Ri didn't really want to answer Chen Heng's question.

"Then it's settled. I'll discuss it with your Demon Emperor and see if I can sit on the Demon Emperor's throne for a few days for fun if I help him kill the wicked Dragon."

Chen Heng clapped his hands, even more determined to kill the wicked Dragon.

"But the Divine Demon Domain is a floating island suspended a thousand meters in the air, and it has an outer defensive formation."

Zhu Ri knew Chen Heng couldn't be dissuaded, but he still decided to try.

What if Chen Heng listened to reason... Well, that wasn't possible.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." Chen Heng was even more determined to kill the wicked Dragon after learning the full story of the Divine Demon Domain.

Seven Emperor-level Yao Race members ≈ one wicked Dragon. This was much more challenging than killing the Demon Emperor.

Chen Heng wasn't afraid of an opponent being too strong; he was only afraid of an opponent being too weak and not being able to give him a good time.

"What, you two still insist on coming?"

Chen Heng looked at the conflicted expressions of the Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang siblings and asked.

"Alright, you can come, but you can't hold me back."

Ultimately, Chen Heng decided to take the siblings with him. He really wasn't at ease leaving them in Golden Tiger City.

They were both injured now, and once corrupted by the black qi, his Household Guardian Beast would be gone.

At least by his side, he could look after them.

"But you two must remember, you can come, but when I tell you to run, run immediately, understood?"

"We understand." The Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang siblings nodded.

"No, I was talking about them, not you, right?" Chen Heng turned to look at Bai Jun, who was also nodding, and grabbed the top of his head.

"Last time, when we dealt with the Wutong God, I told you to run, but you didn't. You had to make me personally send you off."

"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Bai Jun struggled like a fish out of water, but Chen Heng's large hands, like hydraulic pliers, were not something he could break free from.

"I promise I'll be the first to run next time, alright!"

"Stop squeezing! My skull is going to crack!"
