Rise Of The Demon God Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440

"So, who else came here other than you and Baihu Yang? Is Long Hu still not here?" Zhu Chang asked.
"He left much before the other guy," Long Chen replied. "Other than those two, I don't think anyone else came here yet."
As Long Chen finished speaking, another person stepped into the room.
"Bai Gu, it looks like you're the fifth to get here. That would mean Yui Ling will be the last."
"It doesn't matter who came when," Bai Gu said. "What matters is if you found something important here? Any clues?"
Zhu Chang looked at Long Chen. "Did anyone find anything?"
Long Chen shook his head. "No one found anything. There are only artifacts here, and no one can take them; otherwise, we'll all be sealed."
He pointed towards the stone tablet.
Bai Gu also read the stone tablet.
"I have a feeling that we must stay here to tell Yui Ling that," he said, frowning. "She is too impatient. She might pick up something in haste."
"I can stay here. You two can leave to catch up to the others. They didn't find anything here, but that doesn't mean they won't find. You should stay behind them."
"Are you sure? I don't think Yui Ling will listen to you. She might even attack you after finding you alone." Zhu Chang frowned.
"What can her attack do to me?" Long Chen asked, smiling. "I'm the best at running away. You don't have to worry about me."
"I'll just guide you to the stone tablet and leave. Don't worry about me. I can leave this temple whenever I want."
"But..."
"I think we should listen to him. If he says he'll be safe, let's just trust him. He won't be an idiot and place his life in danger," Bai Gu patted the shoulder of his friend, turning around.
"Where is Xun?" Zhu Chang asked.
"She's safe in my Inner world. And I have her revival talisman. You don't need to worry about me," Long Chen replied.
"Alright, I'll trust your words and leave you here, but don't take any risk. Just tell him about the tablet and leave."
"Understood," Long Chen said, patting the shoulder of Zhu Chang. "Now you two leave, or you'll be too far behind the others."
Zhu Chang and Bai Gu left.
After everyone left, Long Chen was left behind, taking a sigh of relief. Everyone was so close to finding the whereabouts of the Rainbow Phoenix, but fortunately, none of them saw. Now he only needed to make sure that Yui Ling didn't see either.
"It would've been so good if I could just keep the telescope in my storage ring. But I can't move anything from its place. This sucks so bad," he said, sighing in disappointment.
He started walking back and forth, waiting for Yui Ling to arrive, but over twenty minutes passed, and she still didn't arrive.
Getting tired of waiting for her, he decided to leave the room to check if she could find her in the hallway somewhere, but he didn't go too far from the room.
"There she is. Finally, she arrived," he exclaimed, noticing Yui Ling coming up the stairs.
He entered the artifacts room once again and stood with the support of the wall.
Finally, Yui Ling stepped inside the room.
"You! How are you first here?" She asked, finding Long Chen there.
"First? That's certainly true, but not the way you think. You're not the second person to step here. You're actually the last. Everyone else left already."
"I was left behind to tell you about the stone tablet and the fact that you can't move anything here or everyone will get sealed here," Long Chen exclaimed, pointing towards the stone tablet.
"Hmm?" Yui Ling looked at Long Chen like she was looking at an idiot.
A smile appeared on her lips, which Long Chen found odd. Why was she so happy after hearing this news? Was she happy that no one was able to take any treasures from here because of it?
'This idiot, as expected, he doesn't know,' Yui Ling thought.
"I understand the rule. You can leave now," she told Long Chen.
"Whatever," Long Chen turned around and left. Yui Ling watched Long Chen leave, making sure he went away.
Only after Long Chen left did she sigh a breath of relief.
"As expected, these idiots don't know the benefit of being the ones to open the temple. What a disappointment they are. But it's good. They couldn't take any treasures."
"If only they knew that the three people who use the keys have an exception to this rule," she said, laughing.
She didn't know that Long Chen had left but not for long. Since he was suspicious, he had returned after using his Shadow Transformation. He was still inside the room, hearing her every word.
Hearing her words, he finally understood why the girl was so upset that Long Chen had taken the key and why she couldn't tell anyone why the key was so important. He was glad that he had kept the key in his hand.
"All because of that idiot who stole my key, I couldn't take these treasures, but at least they're in the same boat. It doesn't matter. I'll take them in the future," she muttered before she glanced one last time at all the treasures. She left.
This time, Long Chen watched her leave, smiling.
"So I'm an exception to the rule. I suppose I should thank her for helping me with this secret," he muttered, smiling.
He still couldn't believe her entirely, but he believed she was telling the truth. A person could lie to others, but they wouldn't lie to themselves this convincingly, at least not people of such high caliber.
He decided to take the risk of taking a treasure to see if it was actually going to seal the temple. And the first thing he took was none other than the telescope, which was the most important thing here since it was able to show the whereabouts of the Rainbow Phoenix.
He kept the telescope in his storage ring and stood still, waiting to see if there were any changes in the space or the temple.
Fortunately, there was nothing.
"So she was indeed telling the truth. That makes things easier."
He walked to the vial that had a blood droplet and kept it in his storage ring before moving into other treasures. Within minutes, he had robbed the entire room, leaving it completely empty.
After finishing, he turned to leave, only to find Yui Ling standing at the door with a smirk on her face.
