Chapter 5723 Change of Plans
As the coffin opened, Yue Zifeng appeared before everyone. Even though Long Chen had already seen his condition before, his killing intent surged once more at the sight of him.
Yue Zifeng’s entire body was covered in nails, each inscribed with spiritual runes radiating Zuo Yan’s aura. He had clearly done this.
“That bastard!”
Gu Yang clenched his teeth furiously. Yue Zifeng had been suffering unimaginable torment all this time.
“This is troublesome. These nails carry Zuo Yan’s spiritual marks. They’ll explode if touched and are linked together. Removing even one would trigger them all,” said Xia Chen grimly after examining them.
“Is there no way to extract them?” asked Long Chen.
“There is, but it will take time—time that Zifeng doesn’t have,” replied Xia Chen.
“Let me,” said Long Zhantian.
Long Zhantian walked up and gently put his hand on Yue Zifeng’s chest. A seven-colored divine light enveloped the nails. With a slight movement of his hand, all three hundred and sixty nails were extracted simultaneously.
“Dad, your control is incredible!” Long Chen couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
The greatest difficulty in extracting the nails was maintaining an absolute balance between them. Xia Chen, as a formation master, could have done it too, but it would have required extensive preparations. As for Long Chen, even with his precise control, he wouldn’t have dared attempt it. The slightest mistake could have cost Yue Zifeng his life, and he didn’t dare to gamble on it.
Yet, Long Zhantian had done it with a mere wave of his hand. This level of mastery left Long Chen in awe. If he had such control, perhaps he would have been able to kill Zuo Yan.
Freed from his torment, Yue Zifeng shuddered before he erupted into a fit of coughing.
“Zifeng!”
Long Chen and the others were delighted to see him wake up.
Leaning on Song Mingyuan, Yue Zifeng slowly sat up, his face pale as paper yet his gaze remained sharp. When he saw Long Chen, he smiled faintly.
“I can’t. In fact, I need to take you with me,” Long Zhantian replied.
“What? Where are we going?” asked Long Chen in surprise.
“To the violet blood race’s territory.”
“You’ve found them? Did you find mom’s tracks?” Long Chen asked, his excitement surging.
“Details on your mother are still unclear, but the situation is promising. I’ve already found your grandfather,” Long Zhantian revealed.
A stern and icy figure surfaced in Long Chen’s mind—one of immense wisdom and unparalleled determination: Immortal King Luo Zichuan.
Back when Luo Zichuan was merely an Immortal King, he had dared to embark on a lone journey to rescue his ancestors. Later, through a fateful encounter, Long Chen met him again in a secret realm, but their reunion was brief.
Apparently, the Lifehunter race had grasped the general location of the violet blood race. However, after clashing with them multiple times, Long Chen couldn’t gain any useful information.
Hearing that Long Zhantian had found his grandfather, Long Chen was delighted. The day his family would be reunited was finally within reach.
He could hardly contain his emotions. The thought of finally meeting the mother he had no memories of filled him with excitement and nervousness.
“Don’t celebrate just yet. Entering the violet blood race’s domain won’t be easy,” Long Zhantian warned.
“What do you mean?” asked Long Chen.
“I am considered a sinner for them. You must understand this. That’s why I need you to lead the way,” Long Zhantian said helplessly.
Long Chen instantly understood. Because of his mother, Long Zhantian had refrained from making direct contact with the violet blood race. Instead, he had come to find Long Chen—because Long Chen carried the violet blood within him.
“Senior...”
At that moment, Long Chen turned to consult the Dragon Sovereign. His plans would have to change.
