Chapter 176 - The Return Of Long Zhentian
Right after Ling Chen left the room, Wanxue abruptly grabbed Little Mei and hugged her tightly in her embrace.
"Little Mei, I am very sorry I wasn't able to protect you from the past five years. I'm sorry that your mother was useless and made you go through all that pain and suffering. I am sorry......" Continuously voiced out Wanxue in anguish as tears burst forth like water from a dam from her helpless eyes, spilling down on Little Mei's back.
At this moment, Wanxue didn't know what to do or to say except for telling Little Mei how guilty and extremely sorry she was. She could only imagine all the pain and suffering her daughter's been through.
As a mother, she was extremely hurt and heartbroken. This was the second time she was experiencing such heart-wrenching grief and pain. At the same time, the memory of the incident that happened five years ago played like a song in her head. She felt as though there was an invisible beast eating and tearing out her heart from the inside.
' How can someone be so cruel?'
'Why is the world so unfair?'
Meanwhile, feeling her mother's warm embrace as well as her mother's tears flowing down her back, Little Mei's eyes started to drip with tears. The wall that used to hold her up and made her strong, started to collapse brick by brick until it completely crumbled and collapsed as Little Mei burst out crying like a baby past endurance, releasing all the sadness and sorrow that she's been holding inside her all these years.
She cried loudly in mother's chest as her little hands clutched at her dress. No matter how strong and brave she was, she was still a child. Ever since she was five years old, she's been living in the streets alone without a single person to rely on. She didn't have any family members to take care of her or a place to stay.
It was a miracle that she didn't starve or freeze to death on the streets. The suffering she lived through, the tortured her mind and body went through were enough to drive any grown man insane.
While most children of her age were living happily and comfortably with their parents, she was alone on the street with her sick mother while thinking about how her next meal or whether or not she would survive the night.
Sometimes, she spent days eating dirt or whatever she could find in the trash. Not only she had to worry about her self, she had to take care of her sick mother as well.
Nonetheless, she didn't steal or beg as she bravely lived her life while protecting and taking care of her mother.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen felt a little melancholy and sad while looking at the pair of mother and daughter comforting each other inside the small temple with his eye power
He always thought that he had a bad and sad childhood, but at this moment, he finally realized how great his childhood life was compared to many people.
At the same time, regardless of whether or not they were willing, he already decided to avenge the grievance of the pair of pitiful mother and daughter as though they were his real family.
While Ling Chen was still peeping on the mother and daughter's reunion with his eye power;
Rumble!
A powerful and frightening aura suddenly engulfed the sky above Blue Dragon City as a golden carriage that seemed to be bathed in flames was soaring through the sky.
The golden carriage was being pulled by two giant beasts that looked like tigers with four large wings protruded on their backs.
Behind the golden carriage were dozens of men riding on top of dozens of ferocious flying demon beasts.
Though they were few in number, each of one them was emanating a powerful martial aura and had a cold and awe-inspiring presence. They were all dressed in black with a blue dragon drawing on their back.
However, the most terrifying of all was the aura being exuded from the golden carriage. Even though no one was able to see who was inside the carriage, this terrifying aura made it seem like there was a supreme existence inside it.
His powerful and overbearing aura alone which the person didn't even bother to hide was enough to make others want to prostrate in fear.
It was if that person was a supreme god embarking on a conquest with his invincible legion as the golden carriage soared through the sky.
For such a grand entrance and shocking sight not to draw anyone's attention was clearly impossible. Hence, not long after the golden carriage along with the men in black appeared in the sky, the entire Blue Dragon City fell into a clamor and commotion as countless figures rushed over from all over to watch.
However, when they saw the majestic golden carriage being pulled by the two powerful demon beasts, gasps endlessly sounded out under this piece of sky.
Normally, it was forbidden to fly over the city. However, these people were flying above the sky of Blue Dragon City as though they owned the place. How aggressive and domineering was this?
"A Golden Carriage pulled by two Powerful Winged-Tiger demon beasts, It seems like Young master Long Zhentian is back." Exclaimed one the spectator after seeing the golden carriage as well as the two giant demon beasts.
These two Demon beasts were both mid-level demon saints that had traces of divine bloodline flowing through their veins, their presence alone caused many people to palpitate.
They were emitting a ferocious and domineering aura that could cause even high-level Martial Saints to tremble.
Rumor has it that both of these demon beasts were tamed by Long Zhentian himself from one of his trips to the Divine Demon Beast Region.
When Long Zhentian captured and tamed those two demon beasts, he was only a 2nd Tribulation Martial Saint while both of them were 3rd Tribulation Demon Saints, so how could people not be amazed as they watched these two demon beasts pulling Long Zhentian's golden carriage?
Long Zhentian!
This name struck everyone's ears like thunder, shocking them all.
Long Zhentian!
The young master of the Long Family and also a legend in the Heaven Suppression Region, the pride of the Blue Dragon City as well as one of the Twenty Young Deities.
"Only young master Long Zhentian could have such a treatment in Blue Dragon City." A jealous spectator had to admit: "From the Twenty Young Deities, he's rank 10th and he's also the future head of the Long Family."
Many of the spectators even clapped their hands and applauded as they yelled in unison: "Welcome back young master Long Zhentian."
"..."
Whispers and chatters swiftly spread about as many people were watching with awe and reverence as the golden carriage soared into the sky.
Many people felt suffocated while watching such a shocking and grand sight. Some of the weaker ones that were close by even kneeled on the ground due to this suppressive aura.
The golden carriage slowly traveled forward into the deeper part of the city. Even though it was very far away, its suppressive aura and grand momentum were far-reaching.
Long Zhentian's return caused a huge commotion as the many people were gazing at his carriage with anticipation and reverence.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen stood in front of his small temple while looking at the golden carriage disappearing into the horizon with an evil smile on his face.
"So, You're back. I hope you won't disappoint this poor monk." Mumbled Ling Chen with a mysterious smile on his face.
