Chapter 434: Chapter 419: A Sword Severs the Thoughts

Long Chen bowed his head, looking at the sword plunged into his abdomen and then at Li Yuechan, before breaking into a smile.

"You and I have been through a lot together and even separated at times, but I really never imagined, or even considered, that your sword would one day pierce through me, heh, even the foundation of your cultivation was taught by me."

Long Chen gave a bitter smile.

Li Yuechan’s expression froze, staring blankly at Long Chen’s abdomen.

At that moment, her heart felt increasingly suffocated.

However, Long Chen didn’t give Li Yuechan much time to dwell in confusion, he forcefully pushed her away.

Li Yuechan stumbled backward for more than ten steps, a trail of blood following her, a shocking sight.

"How could you do this to Long Chen, Li Yuechan?"

Xia Ling and the others were stunned, and after coming to their senses, they hurriedly supported Long Chen.

The one who asked was Xia Ling.

Li Yuechan, not realizing the gravity of the situation, frowned and said, "He insulted my father first, it’s not my fault."

"Can’t you see that Long Chen didn’t truly want to hurt you? If he wanted to injure you, even with your increased cultivation, you would not be qualified to fight him. He could take your life at any moment."

Xia Ling spoke with a heavy voice.

Hearing this, Li Yuechan suddenly fell into silence.

Recalling the brief exchange, she indeed felt the man’s formidable strength.

If he had exerted his full power, she truly might not have been a match for him.

"Li Yuechan, I didn’t think you could be so heartless. Long Chen has lost his memory before, but even then, he couldn’t bear to harm us, yet what have you done? Your cultivation was given to you by Long Chen, yet you used it to harm him. You really are something."

Xia Ling clenched her teeth in anger, nearly unable to hold back from attacking.

But remembering their sisterhood from days past, Xia Ling couldn’t bring herself to strike; she wasn’t so merciless.

"Yuechan, how could you have become like this?"

Zhao Churan’s eyes reddened.

The current change in Li Yuechan was something she, and they, all found hard to accept.

Yet none of them laid a hand on her.

Because in their hearts, Li Yuechan had always been a dear sister.

Li Yuechan stepped backward, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

She touched her own cheek, not understanding why she wanted to cry.

"I... I might have done wrong, but I don’t regret it. Anyone who insults my father is my enemy."

With those words, Li Yuechan turned and ran swiftly out of Great Xia Mansion.

Long Chen took a deep breath, his eyes turning icy.

He was certain that Li Yuechan’s transformation to her current state had something to do with Chu Ling.

"It looks like I’ll have to pay Chu Ling a visit in Emperor City."

Long Chen said gravely.

"First, care about your own injuries. Aren’t you a bit foolish? Even if you can’t bear to hurt Li Yuechan, you should still be careful and not let yourself get injured. You’re not devoted only to Li Yuechan; you have us too. How can you be so selfish?"

Xia Ling glared at Long Chen, cursing as tears fell.

Her meaning was clear to Long Chen.

"I understand." Long Chen chuckled bitterly: "I just didn’t expect she would actually stab me. I thought she wouldn’t do it, as her memories hadn’t completely vanished. I underestimated her, and her sword cut off my lingering hopes."

Hearing this, Xia Ling and the others were taken aback.

"Do you mean... you’re going to give up on Yuechan?"

Xia Ling hurriedly inquired.

"Perhaps I will."

Long Chen spoke seriously: "But before that, I’ll make one last effort to investigate the truth."

"What do you mean by cutting off your lingering hopes?"

Zhao Churan asked.

Long Chen explained: "Recently, almost all our enemies have been vanquished, and life has been too comfortable. I believed that our days would continue to be peaceful and happy. Now, Yuechan’s appearance and her abnormalities have made me realize that all this comfort is temporary. I must cut off my desire for indulgence."

"So that’s what you meant, you scared the hell out of me."

Xia Ling patted her chest and said, "I thought you were ready to give up because of Yuechan, but no matter what, I still want to believe Yuechan is innocent. Everything she said here wasn’t what she truly meant. If we could restore her memory, we could get back the Yuechan we once knew."

"I think so too, Brother Long Chen, I’ll accompany you to Emperor City."

Zhuge Xuan said softly.

"I’m coming too."

Zhao Churan said, "I’ll set aside the things here for now."

"Don’t be absurd." Xia Ling said, "We can’t neglect the affairs of Dragon Shadow Group. Pull one hair and the whole body is affected. If something goes wrong, a lot of people will suffer. We must not be careless.

As for Emperor City, it’s best if Long Chen goes alone. As long as he doesn’t let his emotions get in the way, with his cultivation, there shouldn’t be any problem."

"Alright then."

Zhao Churan gave a wry smile.

She also knew that the various affairs of Dragon Shadow Group and the Great Xia Mansion were very important.

Getting Long Chen, who shirked his duties, to do anything was basically impossible.

"I can go to Emperor City by myself, you all just take good care of home."

Long Chen smiled.

"You should get your wounds treated first." Xia Ling said.

"No need, they’re already healed."

Long Chen lifted his clothes to reveal that the wound on his abdomen had healed.

Such a miraculous healing ability astonished Xia Ling and the others.

"You’ve got an Undying Body?"

"Honey, you haven’t turned into a monster, have you?" Zhao Churan also cautiously touched Long Chen’s abdomen.

If it weren’t for the bloodstains still there, they would have doubted whether Long Chen had been injured at all.

Long Chen also touched his abdomen, full of complex emotions.

The situation with Li Yuechan really gave Long Chen a headache.

If Chu Ling hadn’t been Li Yuechan’s biological father, he would have already gone to Emperor City to kill Chu Ling himself.

But with that relationship, Long Chen had no choice but to suppress his killing intent and plan for the long term.

No matter how difficult, Long Chen had to hold back.

This was excruciating for Long Chen.

...

The next day, Long Chen left Qianzhou for Emperor City.

Only the people of Great Xia Mansion knew of his departure.

But not long after Long Chen entered Emperor City, he saw a familiar figure blocking his way.

It was Li Yuechan.

"How did you know I was coming to Emperor City?"

Long Chen glared at Li Yuechan.

"That’s none of your business, why are you here in Emperor City?"

Li Yuechan said.

"I came to see why things have turned out this way."

Long Chen said.

"Then you can go back. The reason I’ve become like this is that I entered the Nirvana Pool. I entered willingly. The Nirvana Pool makes one lose some memories, it’s that simple.

So, you don’t need to bother investigating. Just go back where you came from."

Li Yuechan said coldly.

"I don’t like the sound of that. Emperor City isn’t your home. I come and go as I please; what’s it got to do with you? Get lost."

Long Chen said disdainfully.

"Say that again."

Li Yuechan said, her fists clenched in anger.

"I told you to get lost."

Long Chen repeated.
