Chapter 266 - Sima Yun
After Ling Chen instructed his older brother to go and bring Sima Yun to meet him, he didn't continue his training anymore as he went back to the living room of his house to wait for her.
Ling Chen wasn't expecting her to willingly come to look for him after everything that has happened. He thought that she was going to hide until he left this world, but it seemed like he was wrong.
He had to admit, that was really a smart move. He was planning on looking for her and killing her before he left this world as well as the families of the other Demi-God as he didn't want to leave any hidden danger behind.
However, her sudden appearance somehow gave him another idea instead of just killing her and the other family members of the human Demi-Gods himself.
knock! Knock!
As Ling Chen was quietly waiting in the living room, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Ling Xiao, you can come in." Ling Chen hurriedly said.
Even without using his powerful divine sense or his Eye power, he could tell that it was Ling Xiao knocking on the door.
Sure enough, the door was slowly pushed open and Ling Xiao entered the room accompanied by a pretty young lady.
However, they weren't alone. There was another person with them. It was a man. There was a bag above his head which made it impossible for one to see his facial feature with the baked eyes.
Furthermore, one could tell that this man was a powerful warrior due to the overwhelming presence emitted by his body which was different from any regular mortal.
Unfortunately, the man's true qi energy and spiritual sense seemed to have been sealed which made him no different from a regular mortal with a strong body.
"Brother, I've brought her with me as you instructed." Answered Ling Xiao in a respectful tone.
"Thank you, brother. You can leave us now." Ling Chen answered in a grateful tone.
"It's no problem at all. I'll take my leave now." Said Ling Xiao before he quickly left the room, leaving only Ling Chen, Sima Yun, and the unknown guest in the room.
Right after Ling Xiao left, Ling Chen suddenly shifted his gaze towards the nervous Sima Yun and said with a mysterious smile on his face." So, how should I address you, Sima Yun, the Bronze Rank Shadow Guard from the Fire Phoenix Palace or her Highness the Sun Demi-God?"
Upon hearing Ling Chen's question, Sima Yun didn't look surprised at all. In fact, she was expecting it. If Ling Chen pretended that he didn't know her true identity, she's afraid that she would not be able to keep her poor life today again.
At the same time, though Ling Chen's question looked quite simple, it was kinda tricky as there was hidden meaning to it. If she wasn't able to pick up on that, then all of her years being alive would have been for nothing.
"Young master Ling can address me as Sima Yun. As for the Sun Demi-God, she was foolish enough to offend and even conspired against the young master and paid the price with her life for her foolishness." Answered Sima Yun as she respectfully bowed to Ling Chen.
With Ling Chen's Divine Eye Power, he could instantly tell when someone was lying to him or have malicious intent towards him no matter hard that person might try to hide it, especially if that was weaker than him.
As such, he was able to tell that Sima Yun wasn't lying to him and didn't have any malice towards him even after everything that had happened. Instead, there was fear, respect, and submission in her eyes.
"Ohhh! You surprised me. You have become more decisive." Answered Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face.
"Unfortunately, even though I know about your wish to leave this world as well as the desire to become one of my people, I still won't be able to take you with me, or rather I don't want to." Coldly answered Ling Chen.
Hearing Ling Chen's words, Sima Yun's expression suddenly changed. It was only for a brief second before she returned to normal.
"However, there's still hope. As you might not know, there are two ways for a person to leave this world." Added Ling Chen.
"One is to use a powerful spaceship that was capable of traveling at the speed of light. However, it's impossible for us as we aren't a technological civilization."
"The second one is to become strong enough for the World Will or the Heavenly Dao to kick you out of this world and send you to a stronger world as you will break the balance of this world if you were to constantly use your power."Explained Ling Chen.
"The second option is the one that is applied to us, the people living in this world due to the path that we chose or was chosen for us."
"From I can tell, the limit of this world or all the worlds in the 9th Ring of Chaos universe is the peak of 1st Life Transition. Once you reach that realm, you will be forced to leave this world after some time to a stronger world in the 8th Rings of Chaos Universe."
"I know it's impossible to reach that realm by oneself as the law of this world is still incomplete. However, I have a Dao Law Seed that will allow a person to reach the Deity Transformation Realm. All you have to do protecting my family and the Heavenly Demon Sect for 300 years and it'll be yours." Ling Chen said with a slight smile on his face as he was looking at Sima Yun.
"I agree." Hurriedly answered Sima Yun before Ling Chen's voice could even fade away. She would have been the stupidest person alive if she were to refuse that deal.
Not only Ling Chen didn't kill her last avatar, he even offered a sweet deal. How could she not be happy? 300 years for a Demi-God was nothing, let alone for a powerful being above the Martial God realm.
Even though Ling Chen had killed her main body, it's not a problem to reach that realm in a short time due to her secret technique.
Without any hesitation, Ling Chen threw a spatial ring at her and said." There's Deity Transformation Dao Law Seed inside. It will take some time before you break through the peak of 1st Life Transition after fusing with it, even decades."
"Also, I'm gonna put a curse on your soul. If you even have the idea to betray or cause any harm to my family and the Heavenly Demon Sect, the curse will instantly activate and kill you within a second, even if you were to breakthrough Deity Transformation Realm."
Having said that, Ling Chen Demonic pupils shone brightly with a fiendish red light as a miniature magic circle flew out of it and suddenly entered Sima Yun's body before she could even react.
Nonetheless, Sima Yun didn't look mad as she gratefully said." I understand young master Ling and thank you for the opportunity. I won't disappoint you ."
Though it was not the result she was looking for, it was still better than staying confined in this world for her whole life. That was her dream to one day leave this world for a broader one.
"Now that we have come to an understanding, I trust you know what to do. Also, who is that person?" Suddenly asked Ling Chen. From the moment that man entered the room with the bag over his head, he hasn't said anything.
"Ohh! where are my manners. This is a little gift I bought for young master Ling. I hope you like it." Sima Yun said with a slight smile on her face as she took off the bag over the person's head.
Upon seeing the person's facial features, Ling Chen pretended to look surprised as he abruptly said." The Yan Emperor!"
Indeed the man that was tied up with his hand behind his back with a bag over his head was none other than the Yan Emperor. Ling Chen already knew about him the moment he entered the room with his Eye power. However, he still played stupid like he didn't know until now.
"Hahaha! thank you, little girl. I am indeed pleased with this gift of yours." Ling Chen said while laughing happily.
