Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1539 Lied

The Demon Princess jumped down where Long Chen came out of, barely missing a lightning bolt that was about to fall on her.

She landed inside the empty chamber, looking at her surroundings. There were no scriptures she could find here. She continued her search and entered the cave that was connected to the hall.

On the other end of the cave, there was the Maze of Death. But before that maze, there was an empty space where a man's shriveled-up body was lying lifeless. A young girl was sitting before the body, crying.

Baihu Yang had also arrived here. He and the Royal Guards couldn't believe that the frail and lifeless body belonged to the White Tiger King. Unfortunately, they couldn't deny that either. It was evident that it was his body.

Baihu Yang placed his hand on his sobbing sister's shoulders.

Ling looked up. Finding a family face, she stood up and embraced her brother. Her sobbing only intensified. 'It's all my fault! All my fault!"

"Calm down. Tell me what happened. Your brother is still alive! I won't let anyone hurt you! You're safe! Tell me, who did it?? I'll find them, and I'll make them pay!"

"You can't. It's impossible. Even father couldn't..." Ling still remembered how weak her father was before that Spirit who occupied Long Chen's body. "If you go after him, he'll kill you as well!"

"Who? Who will? Tell me everything! What happened here? Also, how was father's Godly Core was stolen? The Black Tortoise Clan is outside.? If I'm weak, we can take their help! We must retrieve the Godbeast Core! Without that, our Bloodline will be the weakest God Beast Bloodline!"

Baihu Yang kept asking his sister about what happened here, but his sister was in such a shock that she found it hard to even speak properly.

"Alright. Don't speak. Just relax. Forget everything! Just relax for now. Here, drink something."

He gave some water to his sister, realizing that she couldn't answer like that. Until she was calmer, she couldn't answer.

"Take the body of father," he commanded the Royal Guards.

The guards picked up the body and wrapped it in a piece of cloth firmly before keeping it in the Spatial Realm where it could be more secure.

Baihu Ling drank the water. Her breathing had finally started to calm down as she came out of her phase in the presence of her brother. She still had tears in her eyes, but she looked better than before.

Baihu Yang sat beside his sister with his back resting against the wall. "Feeling better?"

Ling nodded. "Brother, we forever lost Father..."

"I know. We'll get through this together. But first, I need to know what happened. Can you tell me how you ended up in this situation?"

"I arrived with father when..."

Ling started talking about how she ended up here. She explained everything from falling into the Maze to meeting Long Chen.

"He was brought here by the Dragons..."

Even though Baihu Yang knew that Long Chen wasn't with the Dragons and that he lied, he didn't interfere in the explanation.

He let Ling continue. Getting answers was more important.

Inside the cave, the Demon Princess also arrived. She heard the story of Ling as well, wondering if she had some answers as to where those scriptures were.

"Father, Long Chen, the girl, and I arrived here, stepping out of the maze. There were two statues right there when we came. And then..."

She talked about how the conflict between her father and Long Chen began when Long Chen tried to stop him from touching the Statue. She also talked about how Long Chen accidentally fell on her, engaging their father even more.

She described the battle and then one of the statues breaking.

"That spirit's aura... It even made my ring break. That spirit occupied Long Chen's body. It was so strong. Father was helpless as he was killed, and his Godbeast Core was stolen..."

"So Long Chen did it! That bastard! You're not the reason father is dead; he is! He's the treasure father's Soul Weapon was trapped in the Maze of Death! If it wasn't, Father could've fought back! That bastard!"

"I will kill that bastard!"

"Brother, he isn't at fault. He didn't want the statue to break. It's our fault. He was forced to come to this world, and then he was attacked by us. And now he's also suffering as it's his body that's occupied. Even if you kill him, that evil spirit will just possess someone else!"

Even though her father had been killed in Long Chen's hands, Ling still didn't feel that it was right for them to kill Long Chen, especially when he didn't want it. He was just here to stop a Demon!

"You naive girl, Long Chen lied to you! He used you! He wasn't brought here by the Dragons! The people who you claimed died in the town? They couldn't have been killed by the Dragons since Dragons didn't come. They were killed by Long Chen!"

"He killed them, and then he used you. He knew if he was caught here, he was going to be killed, so he lied about his identity and used you to get in father's good books!"

"How do you know that?" Ling asked, grimacing.

"Because she is a guest of the Black Tortoise Clan. He was also in the Ancestral Temple with me. Apparently, he was trapped here, and he came to our world from there. The Black Tortoise Clan's Patriarch and Zhu Chang came themselves to bring Long Chen back! He had no relationship with the Dragons!"

"Father was right! That bastard was using you! And who knows, maybe freeing that Demon was also his plan? Even if the Demon is occupying his body, it's him who is becoming stronger! His story about coming here to stop a man from waking up?"

"It's a bunch of lies! I'm coming from there! There was no body or anything that could hint at someone staying there! The only thing that's worth importance here are the Two Statues, and he came here for them! That bastard! I will kill him!"

Baihu Yang made a promise to himself that he was going to kill Long Chen, no matter what it took. It was only after killing Long Chen that he could take back the Godbeast Core.

While he made up his mind, the Demon Princess stood in the back, stunned. So there were no scriptures here! Instead, it was the Spirit who knew those skills. She also felt that maybe that spirit belonged to one of her ancestors since they knew those skills.
