Martial God Asura

Chapter 6281: The Dragon Clan’s Demoness, Long Zhuoyan

“Big sister, are you really...”

Chu Feng was dying to know the answer. He had his conjecture, but he needed confirmation to know for sure.

“Come with me.”

The red-haired woman grabbed Chu Feng’s arm and leaped into the flames.

Passing through the flames, Chu Feng saw that the humongous ancestral dragon’s remnant lying on the ground like a boundless mountain range had vanished.

The red-haired woman brought Chu Feng deep underground. By the time she came to a halt, Chu Feng was utterly confused.

Like most realms, lava gushed in the deepest underground regions of this realm. Such lava could no longer harm cultivators of Chu Feng’s caliber, but it was also precisely due to how normal the lava was that he was confused.

Why did the red-haired woman bring me here?

The red-haired woman noticed Chu Feng’s confusion and smiled. She pointed at the lava below, and a mini crystal palace emerged from within.

Chu Feng was stunned.

The mini crystal palace was transparent, allowing one to see its layout. It was a treasure harnessing incredible recovery energy, but much of its energy had been depleted. Even so, it was still a formidable force by Chu Feng’s standard. It must have been an incredible treasure in its complete form.

But what shocked Chu Feng more was not the crystal palace itself but the fact that it had been there all along. To think he didn’t notice the crystal palace despite it being so close to him!

The red-haired woman’s world spiritist techniques must be at a level far beyond his reach.

“I was severely injured back then, so I had to forsake my shell and seek refuge here as I healed up. It’s only recently that I regained my freedom. Yes, I am the Lord Ancestral Dragon that they speak about. Little brother, let me ask you a question,” the red-haired woman asked.

“Feel free to ask anything, big sister,” Chu Feng replied.

“If someone looted your shell without your permission for their cultivation, only to proclaim you as their ancestor afterward and hypocritically worship you, would you forgive them or kill them?” The red-haired woman looked at Chu Feng with a smile.

Chu Feng fell silent. That was a difficult question to answer.

That was the red-haired woman’s own experience. He was not qualified to tell the red-haired woman what she should do.

But Chu Feng couldn’t stay silent here.

“Big sister, I can tell that the Totem Dragon Clan’s deeds have enraged you. Regardless of their reasons, they are at fault for looting your shell without your permission. The looting was done by their ancestors, but I think it’s fair for you to vent your anger on their descendants since they have benefited from your shell as well.

“However, I have friends in the Totem Dragon Clan, so I can only make an unreasonable request of you. Big sister, please spare the Totem Dragon Clan on my account. Please give them a chance to make up for their mistakes.”

Chu Feng bowed deeply after saying those words.

He knew the red-haired woman had both the reason and ability to vanquish the Totem Dragon Clan, and he had no right to ask her to give up on her vengeance. But he was on close terms with the Totem Dragon Clan and couldn’t turn a blind eye to their plight. He could only muster his courage to speak up on their behalf.

“Give them a chance to make up for their mistakes? How can those trash make up to me?”

Chu Feng’s heart sank upon hearing those words, but the red-haired woman looked at Chu Feng and soon added, “Little brother, I can spare their lives on your account, but even family members keep scores with one another. You’ll have to return the favor on their behalf.”

“How can I return the favor?” Chu Feng asked.

“I haven’t thought about it yet, but you’re different from them. With your talent, you’ll have plenty of ways to return my favor once your abilities mature,” the red-haired woman said.

“Rest assured, big sister. It’s my honor to be your little brother, and I am thankful that you’re willing to spare the Totem Dragon Clan on my account. If you need me for anything, as long as it’s within my means, I’ll do my best to aid you,” Chu Feng gave his promise.

But the red-haired woman continued staring at him with a smile that unnerved him. What she said next were words that he didn’t want to hear the most.

“Little brother, you must know that words are cheap. People can easily say whatever they want, but whether they will follow through with it is a different matter. For instance, there are plenty in the world who always say that they will work hard, but how many of them have truly followed it through?” the red-haired woman asked.

“I concur, big sister.”

Diligence was a talent too, and not everyone had the diligence to see through their words. In that case, their promises were bound to be empty.

“That’s why I look at actions instead of words. Little brother, you should show some sincerity if you truly mean what you say. Men should speak less and do more.”

The red-haired woman opened up her palm, revealing a sixteen-centimeter-long red dragon coiled in her hand. The red dragon raised its head to look at Chu Feng. For some reason, its blood-red eyes sent shudders down his spine.

This red dragon was a bizarre entity. It appeared to be a living creature, yet it was filled to the brim with medicinal energy as if it was forged from a pill.

“This is bad!” the Divine Deer suddenly exclaimed.

“Elder, do you recognize that red dragon?” Chu Feng hurriedly asked.

“I wasn’t sure before, but there’s no doubt about it now that she has taken that out. Chu Feng, she’s not someone you should have gotten involved with. That person could be the demoness of the Ancient Era’s Dragon Clan, Long Zhuoyan.

“I have only heard about her; I have never met her before. Long Zhuoyan possesses the most orthodox Dragon Clan’s bloodline, but she is exceptionally fond of world spiritist techniques, and she is highly talented in that field too. She was one of the top world spiritists in the Ancient Era.

“Few people have met her, but those who have always complimented her beauty. She does enjoy the title of the Ancient Era’s number one beauty.

“I also heard that Long Zhuoyan has a quirk. She’s fond of acknowledging little brothers and little sisters, but that’s not a good thing for them. She’s picking people with potential to use, and she would coerce them to swallow a dragon-shaped gu poison to ensure they remain under her control. The gu poison is extremely potent, such that many fail to withstand it and die on the spot,” the Divine Deer said.

That gave Chu Feng a good grasp of the red-haired woman.

Long Zhuoyan’s name sounded like a young lady, but her deeds were more aligned with that of a demoness.

But Chu Feng had no choice but to play along with her, or else she could obliterate the Totem Dragon Clan with a wave of her hand. So, he turned to the Divine Deer and asked, “Elder, is there any benefit to that gu poison?”

“...I don’t know. Chu Feng, are you planning to swallow that?” the Divine Deer asked.

“I have no other choice,” Chu Feng replied.

“You have a choice. I have recovered my energy. I can take you away, but...”

“But what?” Chu Feng asked.

“I don’t know if my ability is enough to escape from someone of her caliber. I can only pray that she hasn’t fully recovered yet. If we fail, our only fate is death. It would be a gamble.”

The Divine Deer’s words further drove in just how powerful Long Zhuoyan was. To think not even the Divine Deer was confident of escaping from her!
