Chapter 26 - Ling Chen’s True Identity Revealed.
historical
The sudden appearance of this voice took everyone by surprise as they all looked at its origin.
The voice itself wasn't commanding or filled with nobility like the Second Prince, but it was the sentences and the words themselves that were overbearing and domineering.
Asking them including the second prince to vacate the Red Sand Valley, this wasn't a light demand. Everyone gasped when they heard this.
Asking any of them was one thing, but to include the Second prince, the most favored son of the Sky Lion King, the ruler of the Sky Lion Kingdom, was a whole different thing.
From all the princes, the second prince had the highest chance of becoming the new King. Whether it was talent, intelligence, background, and power, he had them all. His power and prestige were only second to the king. Aside from his father, they couldn't think of anyone that could command him.
He was the prince of the Sky Lion Kingdom and was always arrogant with his noble identity.
Yet at this moment, he was being asked to leave Red Sand Valley which could even be included in the territory of the Sky Lion Kingdom, despite being there under the order of his father, the King.
Who in the Sky Lion Kingdom had the power to make such a ludicrous demand!
After locating the owner of that voice, everyone present receded like a tidal wave, leaving Ling Chen, Fang Lan, and Ma Tu including his guards in a vast open space.
It was as though they were a plague or a foul smell as everyone was trying their hardest to get as far away from them.
Not to mention them, when Ma Tu heard Fang Lan's request, he almost died from a sudden heart attack despite being in his prime. He could feel cold sweat dripping down his back
Ma Tu was in disbelief due to this sudden development. What kind of people was he hanging around with? They even dared to ask the Second Prince to get the hell out.
For him who came from the side branch of the Ma family, just seeing the famous second prince in person in such a desolate place was already a huge blessing.
His status wasn't high enough nor did his strength was strong enough to have an audience with the second prince, yet these two people he just met didn't even put the second prince or the king in their eyes.
They were either two crazy people that had a death wish or their background was powerful enough to disregard the power of the second prince and the king.
From what he could tell, the answer was mostly the latter. If it wasn't, then he could only wait to be beheaded including his whole family because it was too late to back out now. He could only pray it's the latter.
In the meantime, upon hearing Fang Lan's words, all the guards that were accompanying the second prince drew their weapons and ready to pounce towards Ling Chen and his group like a pack of hungry wolves.
"How dare you draw your weapon against the young master?" Shouted Fang Lan in the response of the guards drawing their weapons.
At the same time, an invincible Martial King's aura covered the entire mountain top. In the presence of such aura, even the second prince had the urge to prostrate on the ground due to the immense pressure.
Fang Lan's powerful figure and momentum loomed above them all like the ruler of the entire world. He was like a natural-born fire king with an unparalleled fiery aura capable of burning the entire world.
"Stay your hand." At this time, the second prince that was silent suddenly yelled at his guards and commanded them to lower their weapons.
The second prince ignored the shocking expression of the crowd due to Fang Lan's powerful aura and walked toward Fang Lan. He cupped his hands together and said with a serious demeanor. "I am really sorry for my subordinates' action, this was just a misunderstanding. May I know the name of your young master."
The second prince was a smart person. The moment he felt Fang Lan's powerful aura, he knew that he wasn't a person he could afford to provoke.
He could tell that the young man's aura was the same as his father the king, but slightly stronger. His father was a Middle stage Martial King Warrior, which meant that this young man was at least a late-stage martial king or even a peak martial king.
The young man was the same age at himself, yet he was already that strong. There's only one place that could raise that kind of monster.
The Heavenly Demon Sect!
Fang Lan glanced over the second prince before pointing at Ling Chen and answered, " My young master's name is Ling Chen, the third son of the Heavenly Demon Venerable."
Everyone's knees uncontrollably shook after hearing this. Each of these names was like a hammer smashing into the Second prince and the crowd's chests, causing them to be breathless.
The atmosphere instantly became oppressive with the mention of these two names.
Not to mention them, even the second prince quivered after hearing these two names despite being royalty.
While the second prince was the son of the king of Sky Lion Kingdom, Ling Chen was like the son of a god. A god that ruled over a domain with countless small kingdoms including the Sky Lion Kingdom. Their status was like heaven and earth.
In front of the Heavenly Demon Venerable and the Heavenly Demon Sect, all mortal influences within their domain were trivial. Whether it was the king of a kingdom or the head of the great family, they were nothing but mere servants. They all have to bow their heads in their presence and follow their rules.
Furthermore, to the people living within the Heavenly Demon Sect's Domain, the Ling Family was like a divine family. Whether it was the royal family or the second prince, their power was indescribably insignificant compared to Ling Chen's power, a member of the Ling Family.
" Yan Long pays his respect to young master Ling."
"This little one is sorry if my words and action earlier offended young master Ling." The frightened Second prince quickly rushed forward as he bowed and apologized to Ling Chen while still shivering inside.
Even his father the king would bow down when he meets a member of the Ling Family, let alone a puny prince like him.
In fact, whether it was the Sky Lion Kingdom or the other surrounding kingdoms within the domain of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they were all subjected to the Ling family's rule.
Even though the Ling family owned all the kingdoms and influences within the Heavenly Demon Sect's domain, they never interfered with their rules or the way they governed themselves. They were like gods overseeing their domain and only interfered when something really bad happened or when they felt like their rule or power was being threatened.
"Don't worry, I just need you guys to move away from this place. I'm going to have a little talk with the injured demon beast." Lin Chen answered nonchalantly.
Unlike the second prince, Ling Chen didn't have any noble demeanor. However, his nickname was enough to instill fear into their souls.
Even Ma Tu who was standing next to Ling Chen couldn't help but staggered backward from shock and fear when he finally knew the true identity of Ling Chen. After all, whether it was his background or his nickname, they all made him quiver.
For the people who live within the domain of the Heavenly demon sect, the name Ling Chen was thunderous! How could they not know the Little Devil?
" I thanked young master Ling for his benevolence, and I also humbly accept the young master's command." Answered the second prince respectfully as he bowed down.
At this time, not to mention the second prince, everyone was respectful towards Ling Chen and his group; no one dared to slight him.
At the same time, Yan Long ordered his guards including the crowd to vacate the whole area leaving only Ling Chen and his group on top of the mountain.
