Rise of the Demon God

"If you're not here for that, then why are you here?" Yu Tianhao asked, confused. "Are you really here just to meet your uncle?"

"Of course. Also, I am leaving this place, and I might not be able to return in the future. So I thought that it would be best if Grandpa and Father also got to meet you one last time," Long Chen answered without much suspense.

"W-what did you say? Can you repeat it again?" Yu Tianhao exclaimed as he suddenly stood up.

"I thought that it would be best if Grandpa and Father also got to meet you one last time," Long Chen repeated his statement.

"Your father? I-isn't he dead?" Yu Tianhao asked as he stuttered. He still couldn't believe Long Chen's words.

"I think it would be better if you saw yourself," Long Chen smiled as he waved his hand gently.

With the wave of his hand, his father and his grandfather appeared in the room.

Even though Long Chen told Xun that it was his wish to come here and meet Yu Tianhao, it was actually his father's wish. Long Chen had told his family that he was going to go to the Immortal World soon when they asked him to come here once before leaving.

As Long Ren and Long Jun came before Yu Tianhao out of thin air, he couldn't help but take a step back. It was as if he had seen a ghost.

"Tianhao, you're here," Long Jun exclaimed as he saw Yu Tianhao. Without thinking for even a second, he stepped forward and hugged Yu Tianhao tightly.

"J-jun? Is that really you? You're not a ghost, right?" Yu Tianhao asked, still not believing.

"Of course I'm real. Do you want me to be a spirit instead?" Long Jun chuckled as he freed Yu Tianhao after giving him a hearty hug.

"You're really alive," Yu Tianhao muttered as he stared at Long Jun. "I'm so glad you're alive. Now I can ask for your forgiveness myself."

"Forgiveness for what?" Long Jun asked, confused.

"For the actions of my daughter and for breaking our promise of getting the kids married. Also, did not support your grandfather last time," Yu Tianhao said as he looked down in shame before he started explaining what had happened in the past.

"Wait!"

Without letting him tell much, Long Jun stopped him.

"My son already taught me everything. It wasn't your fault. Don't feel bad about that. In fact, it was us who were in the wrong for setting up the marriage without waiting for both of them to grow up. So I'm just as guilty as you," Long Jun said as he patted Yu Tianhao's shoulders.

Hearing his words, Yu Tianhao's eyes got wet. He had been trying so hard to control his tears the moment he saw Long Jun but not anymore. The flood of tears finally came as he felt extremely touched. He hugged Long Jun this time.

"Grandpa, they're busy. How about you sit down in the meanwhile?" Long Chen asked his grandfather as he believed that it was going to take long.

"Hahaha, that's right," Long Ren said as he sat down as well.

Yu Tianhao freed Long Jun as he glanced at Long Run. "Uncle Ren, I am sorry for not greeting you before. I was just too overwhelmed after seeing Tianhao."

"I understand. Don't worry about it," Long Ren replied.

Long Jun and Yu Tianhao also sat on a chair.

"Jun, where were you all this time? What had happened to you?" Yu Tianhao asked Long Jun.

As Long Chen heard Yu Tianhao's questions, he knew that it was going to take longer.

"Father, Grandfather, you both tell Uncle Tianhao about everything. I'll take a look outside. I'll be back soon," Long Chen said as he stood up.

Long Jun nodded his head, letting Long Chen leave.

Long Chen turned and left the room, entering the hall again. He looked at the sky that was covered in clouds but still looking beautiful.

The old man who Long Chen hurt was taken away as well. Only a few people were standing in the place now.

As he was looking up, there were many people who were looking at him. Most of them being the previous members of the Long Clan. They looked a bit apologetic but worried as well.

Long lowered his gaze as he glanced at the men that previously belonged to Long Clan.

"All of you, don't worry. I'm not here to ask you all back. The Long Clan isn't coming back. At Least not in this continent. As for where it will come, it won't have you. I have no hate for you all, but now you're members of the Yu Clan. Be loyal to them, and I'll tell them to treat you better," Long Chen told his men as he smiled.

He didn't know why they looked so worried previously. That's why he read their thoughts only to be amused. They thought that Long Chen probably wanted to make the Long Clan again, and he was here to ask Yu Tianhao to force them to come back.

Most people didn't want to go back to a broken clan and put all the work again while living with someone who was wanted by the Supreme Sects. They didn't know that the Supreme Sects weren't after him.

Even though Long Chen didn't care for them, their thoughts made him even sure. They didn't deserve to go to his inner world.

The Long Clan members looked embarrassed as they lowered their heads.

"As for you, Miss Ling. Have you arrived at a bottleneck? I see that you're in the same cultivation realm as you were when I last saw you. What happened? I thought it was a prodigy. You shouldn't hit a bottleneck. What happened to you?" Long Chen asked, hearing the footsteps behind him. He didn't even need to look back to know that it was Yu Ling, his ex-fiance.

"You're here. I hit a bottleneck long ago. I can't break through anymore," Ling answered.

"Did you approach your master? He's a Supreme Elder in the Thunder Giant Sect, right? He should be able to guide you through it," Long Chen said as he finally turned back to glance at Ling, who looked even skinnier now that he was carefully observing her.

"He won't. He tried for one month. Nothing worked. I'm just a waste. He expelled me as well after knowing I can't break through," Ling replied as she sighed.

"You know, most bottlenecks come from within our hearts. You should search your heart and see what's troubling you."
