399: Good! Good! Good!

“Ugh!” Cao Jihan stared intently at the Black Guard in front of him, but there was nothing he could do.

No, there was something he could do.

That was to die, and after dying, return to the Sea of Blood Hell to tell Master Chen what happened here, so he could hurry back!

Thinking of this, Cao Jihan no longer hesitated and began to forcibly detonate the corpse blood and corpse Qi within his body.

The Black Hidden Thorn’s sealing of his acupuncture points actually helped Cao Jihan commit self-destruction.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Jihan’s body swelled up like a purplish-red balloon.

Then, a loud bang sounded, and Cao Jihan instantly turned to dust.

The Black Guard was also severely injured by this explosion, one arm dangling limply.

“Damn it, how did Chen Heng raise so many monsters...”

The Black Guard shook his arm, and the limp arm immediately turned into black mist, then transformed back into a perfectly intact arm.

However, the surrounding black mist had become a bit lighter.

“Boss, we’ve caught everyone we needed to. Let’s retreat!”

An Imperial Guard Army member, carrying the unconscious Chen Fugui and Chen Tian’er, appeared before the Black Guard, but half of his body seemed to have been directly smashed by something.

“There’s also a Martial Artist in their inner courtyard, whose strength is quite terrifying, but his Realm isn’t high, so we dealt with him.”

“Go.” The Black Guard nodded, picked up Xiao He, and prepared to leave.

“Who are you people?” Just as the Black Guard and his group were about to leave, a roar sounded from beside them.

Gou Longxun was leading, with Qi Longhu, Xu Lieying, and Wu Tianba close behind, holding their weapons and charging towards them.

“A mere Martial Artist still wants to cause trouble.”

The Black Guard snorted coldly. Why were there so many people willing to die for Chen Heng?

“What if I am a Martial Artist?”

Gou Longxun exhaled a hot breath, and the black gold long staff in his hand ignited with blood-red flames.

“Xiantian Martial Artist?”

The Black Guard chuckled, casually waved his hand, and a hundred Black Hidden Thorns flew towards Gou Longxun and the others.

Pfft!

In just a blink of an eye, Gou Longxun and the others collapsed to the ground, staring in horror at the figure whose face they couldn’t make out.

“Tell Chen Heng that the Imperial Guard Army’s Black Guard did this.”

“Also, His Majesty the Emperor wants to meet him; tell him to come to the Divine Capital.”

“If he doesn’t come within three days, I will skin these people and hang them on the city walls.”

“You... dream on!” Zhu Ri heard this, mobilized the last trace of Demonic Qi in his body, and charged towards the Black Guard.

“If I tell you to lie down, just do it obediently. You have to force me to kill you.”

The Black Guard turned to look at Zhu Ri, and an arm-thick Black Hidden Thorn shot out from the shadows, directly hitting Zhu Ri’s throat.

Zhu Ri’s body was pinned to the wall like a broken rag, blood slowly flowing from the wound.

“Three days. I’ll only give Chen Heng three days. If he doesn’t come by then, don’t blame me.”

With that, the Black Guard, with only six remaining Imperial Guard Army members, soared into the sky and sped towards the Divine Capital.

“Brother?” Zhu Chang, who had lost a leg, looked at Zhu Ri pinned to the wall, her eyes filled with confusion.

---

At the same time, in New Heavenly Demon City.

Chen Heng, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a sense of palpitation. He felt that something in the Sea of Blood Hell within him seemed to be calling to him.

Without much thought, Chen Heng immediately closed his eyes and submerged into the Sea of Blood Hell.

“Master Chen!” Seeing Chen Heng arrive, Cao Jihan immediately scrambled over.

“You’re dead?” The moment he saw Cao Jihan, Chen Heng realized something was wrong.

Unless Chen Heng actively pulled him back, Cao Jihan would not reappear in the Sea of Blood Hell unless his physical body died.

“Something big has happened at your home! Young Miss Xiao He, your father, and your sister have all been taken away!”

“The two Master Hus also...”

Cao Jihan initially didn’t notice Chen Heng’s expression; he was just anxious to tell Chen Heng what had happened.

But as he spoke, Cao Jihan noticed that the surrounding environment was a bit off.

The already blood-red sky became even deeper, and the surrounding Sea of Blood began to churn incessantly.

“Good, good, good.”

Chen Heng uttered three “good”s in succession.

But Cao Jihan could tell that Chen Heng was currently on the verge of exploding.

“Master Chen, please hurry...”

“You don’t need to spout nonsense. I’ll reward you when I return.”

Chen Heng glanced at Cao Jihan, and that single glance scared Cao Jihan so much that he immediately knelt on the ground.

The next moment, Chen Heng’s figure disappeared from the Sea of Blood Hell, his consciousness returning to his body.

“I’d like to see who dares to touch my people.”

Hu Ling beside him woke up, looking at Chen Heng with some fear.

Her master was not right now; his entire being exuded an incredibly violent Aura.

With a loud bang, Chen Heng flew towards Qiyang City like a cannonball, completely disregarding Hu Ling beside him.

Hu Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, her pretty face pale as she looked in the direction Chen Heng had left.

“What on earth happened, Master...”

Bai Jun and Luo Shuo were also startled awake by the commotion and quickly ran to Chen Heng’s courtyard to check the situation.

“Sister Hu Ling, what happened to you...” Luo Shuo helped Hu Ling up from the ground, asking as he looked at the messy courtyard.

“Quick, quick, follow Master! It seems something has happened to him!”

Hu Ling ignored her injuries, grabbed Luo Shuo, and urged him.

“Ah?”

“Something happened at Big Brother Chen’s house?”

Bai Jun and Luo Shuo were immediately shocked; this was going to be troublesome.

Just as the two were about to follow immediately, a gentle knock on the door sounded.

“Is Benefactor Chen home? This humble monk Hui Che has come to seek...”

“Come with us!” Although Bai Jun didn’t get along well with this young monk, he knew that the Esoteric Buddhist Buddha's Child’s strength would definitely not be weak.

He would be a good help then.

“And me!”

Bai Jun had just clamped Hui Che and stepped onto his Flying Sword when Wu Man hugged his thigh from behind.

“I want to help Chen Heng too!”

“Then let’s go together!”

The thirty-six tiangang beads within Bai Jun’s body lit up simultaneously, boosting his speed to the limit.

After a sharp whistle, there was no longer any trace of Bai Jun and the others... The Black Guard rushed madly, knowing Chen Heng’s power and speed.

He had to pass this blame to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise he couldn’t bear it.

In just over an hour, the Black Guard returned to the Divine Capital at the cost of losing seventy percent of his black mist.

“Your Majesty, that Chen Heng will definitely within three days...”

Just as the Black Guard was about to report the situation, he saw His Majesty sitting opposite a white-haired young man, the two even chatting and laughing.

“Good, I understand.” Helian Jinming nodded.

“Lock these people in the Phoenix Palace, but don’t harm them.”

“Oh, this is the Grand State Preceptor of the Jade Fan Kingdom. Hurry and come over.”

“Your subordinate greets the Grand State Preceptor!” After handing Chen Fugui and the others to the other Imperial Guard Army members, the Black Guard immediately walked to Chang Yutian and saluted.

“Not bad, a Day-level demon.” Chang Yutian saw through the Black Guard’s true nature at a glance, chuckling.

“I wouldn’t dare.” A drop of cold sweat ran down the Black Guard’s forehead. The Aura emanating from Chang Yutian was exceptionally terrifying; he didn’t even dare to look up.
