Chapter 858: The Eight-headed Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (III)
A streak of red light immediately landed on the battlefield, beside Long Haochen and Hai Yue. He took Bai Yue from Long Haochen’s arms, as he pointed at the Demon God Emperor who had created a pit from landing at the same time with Agares. He roared out, “Haochen, kill him, kill him quick! Once you kill him, we humans will be able to burst out of this age of darkness and recover our motherland.”
The person who had suddenly rushed over and grabbed Bai Yue was Long Haochen’s father, the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial Long Xingyu. However, Long Xingyu’s face was rather twisted now. It seemed rather vicious, as if he was in some sort of agony.
If it were not for what the Demon God Emperor said before the start of the battle, Long Haochen obviously would not have been thinking as much. However, his mother had actually leapt off the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass for the Demon God Emperor. In that moment, his heart was truly filled with pain.
“No, don’t-” Bai Yue called out as she struggled in Long Haochen’s grasp, “Haochen, you can’t. No matter who kills him, it can’t be you. He’s your…”
Slap! Long Haochen smacked Bai Yue’s face, forcing her words back down her throat.
“Father.” Long Haochen hurried up and grabbed his father’s hand.
Bai Yue became stupefied from the slap. She fell onto the ground and looked at him blankly. Her entire body trembled. In her memory, Long Xingyu had never even scolded her before, let alone lay his hands on her!
In the deep pit, the Demon God Emperor and the Moon Demon God had already stood up, but the despair in their eyes did not vanish. Looking at Long Haochen’s family, the light in the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu’s eyes flickered and he said coldly, “Long Xingyu, what right do you have to hit her?”
Long Xingyu suddenly turned around to face the Demon God Emperor. The depths of his eyes were filled with utter hatred.
“Why can’t I hit her? I don’t care what happened to her in the past. I can ignore it all and not be fussed by it. As a matter of fact, I’ve already moved past it. However, why, just why won’t she consider for her own sun? Haochen is the chairman of the Temple Union. His actions have ceased to represent just himself a long time ago, but the entire union. In order to stop Haochen from killing you, she actually chose to jump off the walls and she wants so say something she’s not supposed to say. Isn’t she supposed to be afraid of bringing ruin and shame to Haochen?”
The Demon God Emperor said coldly, “Ruin and shame? What an impressive ruin and shame. Do you really think that if she stays quiet, I’ll stay quiet as well?”
Now, both sides of the battlefield had already landed on the ground. However, the demon powerhouses that the Demon God Emperor had brought along with him could only be described as in tatters.
The black phoenix that Lin Xin had unleashed in the battle earlier erupted with extremely terrifying attacks. Out of the nineteen demon gods that the Demon God Emperor had brought with him, only six remained apart from him and Agares. At the same time, basically every single demon clan had suffered tremendous losses. In other words, even if Long Haochen had failed to defeat them, the very foundations of the demons had been shaken.
Not to mention, Long Haochen had even killed the Star Demon God Vassago in the battle in the air earlier.
“Yet, your chairman who will lead you all out of the darkness of the demons has my blood flowing through him,” the Demon God Emperor’s voice rang out coldly.
All of the residual demons were shocked by that. The Temple Union was no different. If it were not for the appearance of Long Xingyu and his wife earlier, the powerhouses of the Temple Union would have never believed the Demon God Emperor. As enemies of the Demon God Emperor, they would only think the Demon God Emperor was trying to drive a wedge between them. However, they could tell from Long Xingyu, Bai Yue and Long Haochen’s expressions that the Demon God Emperor might have been telling the truth.
Long Xingyu trembled out of fury. He suddenly turned towards Bai Yue. His emotions had finally lost control due to what the Demon God Emperor said, “Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied to see Haochen being suspected? Why, why do you have to do this? I clearly let it go. Why do you still have to say Haochen’s his son? Do you know that in the past, in the Modu core city, Fengxiu had already killed Haochen once! Why? I’ve loved you for all these years. In my life, apart from my mother who’s already passed away, you are the only woman I’ve loved deeply. I could forgive you for anything you did. However, in your heart, it’s still him. For him, you’d even throw your life away. I don’t understand, I really don’t understand what I’ve done wrong for you to act so cold-heartedly. When Haochen returned from the demons and took part in the Temples’ Great Gathering. I even accepted him as my true son, but why must you continue to hurt my heart like this? Why?”
Bai Yue’s eyes widened from what Long Xingyu said. She climbed up to her feet from the ground, raised her right hand and pointed at him. Due to being overly emotionla, her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she could collapse at any time.
Long Haochen took a step forward and supported his mother. He channeled his gentle natural aura of life into his mother’s body, assisting her in stabilising her condition. He had always been reluctant to facing all of this, but everything had already happened, so it was no longer up to whether he wanted to face it or not. He had already made up his mind. No matter what, he would never spare the Demon God Emperor. This had to do with the future of countless humans! If he did not use the opportunity to kill the Demon God Emperor today, it would probably be even more impossible for him to kill the Demon God Emperor in the future. He constantly told himself inside that his bloodline from the Demon God Emperor had already been destroyed when the Demon God Emperor killed him in the Star Demon Pago. Now, he was only an enemy. Only an enemy!
Slap! What no one expected was that after standing up, Bai Yue would pointed at Long Xingyu without uttering a single word for a while, before raising her hand and slapping him in the face.
“You bastard…” Due to her anger, Bai Yue’s beautiful face became rather twisted as well, while one side of her face still had the handprint from Long Xingyu’s slap earlier.
“I’m the bastard?” Long Xingyu was rather stunned as well. He had thought about just how Bai Yue would respond when he confronted her countless times in the past, but he had never thought it would end up like this, where she would actually slap him.
“If you’re not a bastard, then what are you? You insist on saying your wife’s incestual, and you say your own son’s actually someone else’s. In this world, is there anyone who’s more of a bastard than you?” After hearing what Long Xingyu said, the Demon God Emperor was momentarily stunned, before falling into a rage. He yelled at Long Xingyu.
Long Xingyu’s head immediately blanked out. He was in a daze. Didn’t the Demon God Emperor say Long Haochen was his son? If that was the case, what was this incestual business about? What was happening? What exactly was happening? In that moment, even someone as clever as him could not understand what was going on anymore.
Bai Yue suddenly burst out in tears, “The reason why I’m willing to die for him because half of my bloodline comes from him. He’s my father! Long Haochen’s your true son! How could you suspect me, and doubt me for several decades!?”
Let alone Long Xingyu, even Long Haochen and the human powerhouses were dazed. This was really was confusing, such that the peak existences of the current age even became rather dumbfounded. Many people failed to understand what was going on.
“Mother, what’s this all about? What’s this all about?” Long Haochen asked his mother urgently.
Bai Yue raised her head to look at Long Haochen. Tears were strewn across her face, “Haochen, I never thought, never did I ever think, your father would be thinking like that. No wonder, no wonder he would abandon you so vicious in Odin Town. He said he wanted to nurture you ability by doing that. I don’t know how many times I asked him, but he always refused to bring you over. He even went missing for so, so long. As it turns out, he actually thought I betrayed him, that you’re not even his child.”
Long Xingyu stood there in a daze, yet he was unable to say anything at all. He only felt like a huge rock was pressing against his chest, making him suffocate.
In his heart, the matter that had caused him over two decades of pain seemed to originate from a single misunderstanding. It was just far, far too great of an impact to him. His heart could no longer accept the truth of this matter anymore.
The Demon God Emperor looked at Long Haochen with a sunken face. His heart was filled with a strange feeling. The battle had actually ended already. He knew that it was no longer possible for him to defeat Long Haochen under Austin Griffin’s assistance. Currently, he listened to Bai Yue’s sobs as he thought rapidly. He tried to think of a way to change the current situation.
Bai Yue straightened her body under Long Haochen’s support. She said with a trembling voice, “Long Xingyu, are you tarnishing Haochen’s name, or are you tarnishing your own? For what reason do you say he’s not your son?”
Long Xingyu said instinctively, “He was born with extraordinary mental force. That’s clearly a sign of the Devil Dragon Clan. And, he doesn’t look like me.”
Bai Yue said coldly, “Is there anything wrong with a son looking like his mother? And why don’t you ask where his light element comes from? Do you think it comes from the Demon God Emperor? Your heart’s already been blinded by jealousy and hatred. You’ve actually treated your own son as the son of your enemy the entire time, even believing that your wife’s unfaithful. Do you really distrust me so much?”
Long Xingyu said bitterly, “In the past, you were captured by the demons for a year. I originally thought you were already dead, but when I found you in Odin Town, I saw how you already had Haochen. I had to suspect.”
Bai Yue inhaled deeply, but her tears poured out once more. She sobbed with a trembling voice, “Y- you bastard. Since you had doubt, why didn’t you ask me? Why?”
Long Xingyu also choked with sobs, “How am I supposed to ask you? How am I supposed to? I love you so much, such that I don’t even wish you suffer the slightest harm. How am I supposed to ask such a hurtful question? You never showed any intention of clarifying anything either. I…”
In that moment, Long Haochen felt like he had just collided against the ground heavily, before being plucked high into the sky once more. He finally understood slightly. This all seemed to be a misunderstanding. He was not the Demon God Emperor’s son, but the Demon God Emperor’s grandson. His mother was the Demon God Emperor’s daughter, while Ah’Bao who he had heavily injured was actually his uncle.
