Chapter 765 – Dark Plans

With that thought, Long Chen said directly, “If I told you, would it be alright for you to not tell anyone else?”

“Is it that mysterious?” Suxue froze, then she said, “If it’s very important, you don’t need to tell me. If you do, you’re going to blame me if I accidentally tell someone.”

“I have the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord, and I’m cultivating the Seven Star Manual. Do you believe me?” Long Chen said in a joking tone.

“I knew you were just joking with me.” Suxue glared at him. She initially wanted to punch him, but she thought it would be inappropriate, so she put her hand down. She glared and said, “Just be careful.”

Then they parted ways. Long Chen returned to Suyan’s place, though Suxue’s yard was just next door. Dawn was still quite a few hours away. Due to Chen Xu’s interruption, Long Chen could no longer cultivate the Seven Star Manual today, so he could only study the Martial God Tombstone. Time passed quickly.

After Situ Yu returned to Heavenly Wood City, he quickly dashed through the shadows to get to his grandfather without being seen. The eight Sect Elders were at the peak of the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and held high positions in the Demon Clan. They were the most powerful of the Demon clan’s masters who had come to the Ancient Graveyard, besides Bai Lan, of course.

Situ Yu stopped anxiously in front of a simple but elegant wooden house and said in a soft voice, “Grandfather, your grandson, Xiao Yu, requests to meet you.”

After a short while, a hoarse voice came from inside. Situ Yao said, “Come in.”

Situ Yu opened the door gently. It was a little dark in the wooden house, and Situ Yao was sitting in the center of the room. He had clearly been cultivating, but Situ Yu had interrupted him, so he glared at Situ Yu and asked, “What the matter now? Haven’t you embarrassed me enough today? And now you have the guts to come and see me?”

“Please don’t be mad, Grandfather. I truly did my best earlier today, but those symptoms were too difficult to resolve ...” Situ Yu said resignedly.

Looking at his grandson, Situ Yao sighed and said, “If you’re here to see me this late in the night, you must have caused some sort of trouble. I heard an explosion above just now. It was your doing, right?”

Situ Yu said awkwardly, “It’s not completely my fault ...”

“Fine. I still don’t quite understand you. Tell me what happened today. Let me hear what trouble you got yourself into this time.”

Although Situ Yao was strict, he still loved his grandson.

Thus, Situ Yu told him about everything starting from the beginning, and finally added angrily, “I didn’t know that Long Chen had such tricks. Chen Xu was one level above him, so I thought he could easily finish Long Chen off. I didn’t expect him to fail!”

After Situ Yao heard the whole story, he remained silent. Then he suddenly looked up with fire in his eyes, enunciating each word slowly. “You idiot! You’ve gotten bolder! Let me ask you this. If you killed that guy and caused Suyan to die, do you think someone with Bai Lan’s personality would let you live?”

Situ Yu was startled, and he quickly explained, “Give me ten more days and I will surely develop a successful pill. Plus, he has no evidence to say that I killed someone! And don’t I have you to protect me, Grandfather? Long Chen made me lose face earlier today; I can’t just swallow my anger. Of course, I don’t have to kill him, but I must teach him a lesson at least, right? It’s his fault for climbing up to such a high place in the middle of the night. He seemed to be absorbing starlight, cultivating something ...”

“What did you say?” Situ Yao glared and his breathing became heavier. His eyes were fixed on Situ Yu, as if he wanted to swallow his grandson whole.

Situ Yu had never seen such a scary expression on his grandfather before, so he trembled with fear as he responded, “I said ... I said Long Chen was cultivating ... starlight ...”

“The Seven Star Lord!” Situ Yao said decisively.

There was a strange light in his eyes.

“Seven Star Lord? What is that ... Ah! Grandfather, are you referring to one of the Seven Lords? The Seven Star Lord, who has the divine weapon known as the Three Thousand Star Clusters?” Situ Yu’s eyes almost fell out of his head as he stared at Situ Yao emotionally.

Situ Yu did not give a direct reply. He was silent for a while, then he said, “There was a rumor that the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance had appeared a while back, but I did not hear who received it. That brat Long Chen did some shocking things at the Metal District and even snatched the Martial God Tombstone from the Wind clan’s princess. Then, if he was cultivating and absorbing starlight at such a high place ... It’s such a dramatic cultivation method ... I am ninety percent sure that he has received the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance!”

“That’s impossible! Look at him; look at his pitiful cultivation! How could he have gotten the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance?” Situ Yu had been outdone in terms of alchemy, so his only comfort was that his martial abilities far exceeded Long Chen’s. Now Situ Yao was saying that Long Chen had gotten the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance?

The Divine Demon Lord’s inheritance had led to the rise of the Demon clan!

The White Lotus Fairy’s inheritance had led to the rise of the Divine clan!

This showed just how important the inheritances of the Seven Lords were.

“Inheritance or not, we’ll know when I test him tomorrow night,” Situ Yu said mildly, lowering his voice. His initial excitement had turned to calm.

“Grandfather, if it really is the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, do we snatch it for ourselves?” probed Situ Yu. He sensed that this matter had turned serious due to the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance.

“Snatch it? Hehe, you know nothing, you little brat. If we guessed it, do you think that old fox Bai Lan wouldn’t? He probably knew about it a long time ago and just didn’t tell us,” said Situ Yao.

“Doesn’t that mean the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance will go to the Clan Leader?” Situ Yu asked unwillingly.

“I’m guessing that Bai Lan has long known about this. I know why he hasn’t acted yet—he’s probably thinking of his daughter’s life. Bai Lan is a person who kills decisively and has extraordinary cultivation, making him a good candidate for being the clan leader. The only flaw is that he takes relationships too seriously. Whether it is his relationship with Lei Ji or his daughters, he sees them as more important than everything else. Even if he knows that Long Chen has the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, I don’t think he dares to take it.”

“If he’s not taking it, we can.” Greed shone in Situ Yu’s eyes. He was waiting for Situ Yao to make the decision, but Situ Yao fell silent. After a while, he looked up coldly at his grandson and said, “Child, do you know? If we killed Long Chen and took the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, we would become Bai Lan’s enemies, even the whole Demon clan’s enemies. Do you think it’s worth it?”

Situ Yu froze. He initially did not think it would lead to such a severe outcome, but now that he had thought about it, it was very possible.

“Grandfather, I can’t decide. But if it really is the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, then it’s just too tempting. If you can get the inheritance, you may even break through the Heavenly Martial Wall and reach the Heavenly Martial Realm successfully. With the addition of the Three Thousand Star Clusters, you would be peerless at the First Heavenly Martial Stage. That would make you the strongest master after Bai Lan and that other master from the Divine clan ...”

Situ Yu was trying to tempt his grandfather.

Slap!

Situ Yao slapped Situ Yu and said angrily, “I understand those things better than you do, brat! Do I need you to teach me? But you are wrong about one thing. Bai Lan and the guy from the Divine clan aren’t the only masters in the Ancient Graveyard. Do you think that the Five Elements Alliance has no Second Heavenly Martial Stage masters of their own? Do you think there aren’t any among the regular cultivators? Do you know who organized the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition that will take place in three months?”

Situ Yu was at a loss for words because he could not answer these questions.

“So there are that many powerful masters! Grandfather, are we still going to take the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, then?” Situ Yu asked in a daze.

Situ Yao fell silent for a while. He looked out at the starry night sky outside the window and said, “Other than Bai Lan, I am the only elder who knows that Long Chen might have gotten the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. It is a very rare chance that we may not get again in our lives. If we miss this, we will regret it forever. I thought I had reached the peak of my cultivation, but if I get the chance to move forward, it doesn’t matter what obstacles I face, or the risk of death and family! I will not give up! Say, am I going to take it? Am I?”

Situ Yu stumbled several steps back in fear.

For the first time, he realized how terrifying his grandfather was. He was usually an elder who kept a low profile, but there was actually so much unwillingness in his heart.

“Grandfather, I will stand by your side no matter what!” Situ Yu said emotionally.

“Of course, you’re a smart kid. When I get the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, wouldn’t it be the same as you getting it? When I start another empire like the Divine Demon Empire, you will inherit it!”

“Grandfather, it won’t be the Divine Demon Empire, but the Star Empire! In fact, we will rule the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory!”

Situ Yu was overwhelmed with emotion.

“You’re an ambitious kid. These things take time. Now, let’s plan.”

Then Situ Yao suddenly looked towards the outside and said, “Chen Yang, since you’re here, you should come in.”
