Chapter 974: Blood Relative?
Chapter 974: Blood Relative?
Long Yue was taken aback, and her eyes involuntarily looked towards Chen Guan.Mi Xiang was even more surprised than her. She noticed that Chen Guan was somewhat different, but she only thought he was an unparalleled genius within the Serpent Race, and had a fondness for talent, wanting to cultivate another talent for the Serpent Race.
Now that the Spirit Devouring God said this, she looked at Chen Guan with some disbelief.
"Spirit Devouring God, what do you mean?" Long Yue felt a guilty conscience, thinking the Spirit Devouring God discovered that the previous two challenges were cleared with Chen Guan’s help, her voice not as firm as before.
But upon second thought, there was no rule against seeking help in the Sky Garden, even if the Spirit Devouring God knew Chen Guan helped her, what difference would it make?
The invisible force that held Long Yue suddenly relaxed, allowing her to regain her freedom.
The Spirit Devouring God said indifferently, "If he attempts this challenge, he might have a chance to enter the Sky Garden."
Upon hearing these words, Long Yue felt both surprised and delighted.
She already understood that Chen Guan was definitely not an ordinary member of the Serpent Race, his power must be extremely strong, but she had never thought Chen Guan could stand against the Spirit Devouring God.
Mi Xiang was even more shocked upon hearing these words.
She had some suspicion just now, and now hearing what the Spirit Devouring God said, she was even more certain that Chen Guan was probably not from the Serpent Race.
Earlier she thought that Chen Guan had a special method to hide his aura, so he should be from the Serpent Race.
Now it seemed it wasn’t that simple, how would the Spirit Devouring God recognize an up-and-coming talent of the Serpent Race?
Both Long Yue and Mi Xiang’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Chen Guan, but their thoughts were entirely different.
Long Yue’s gaze was filled with pleading, while Mi Xiang’s was probing, wanting to know who Chen Guan really was.
Chen Guan also seemed unperturbed, upon seeing the guardian of the Sky Garden was the Spirit Devouring God, he knew his identity couldn’t be kept hidden.
When the Spirit Devouring God descended upon the Divine Land, he had glanced at him once, how could he possibly not recognize him?
"Are you asking me to take on the challenge?" Chen Guan looked at the Spirit Devouring God and asked.
Now that he was on their ground, running was definitely too late, so Chen Guan could only first find out what the Spirit Devouring God intended.
"Perhaps there are things inside the Sky Garden you wish to see." The Spirit Devouring God said indifferently.
"What things?" Chen Guan didn’t expect the Spirit Devouring God to say such a thing, and asked with a furrowed brow.
"If you can make it inside, naturally you’ll be able to see them." The Spirit Devouring God’s answer surprised Chen Guan again.
Chen Guan first thought the Spirit Devouring God was attempting to force him into the Sky Garden, but hearing what the Spirit Devouring God meant, Chen Guan still had to pass this challenge before entering the Sky Garden.
"What if I can’t make it in?" Chen Guan stared at the Spirit Devouring God and asked.
"Then come again next time." The Spirit Devouring God said casually.
This attitude of the Spirit Devouring God made Chen Guan somewhat unsettled inside.
He already was a bit of a suspicious person, yet the Spirit Devouring God was so confident, it seemed he was certain that Chen Guan would want to enter the Sky Garden.
"What exactly was the thing the Spirit Devouring God mentioned?" Chen Guan pondered secretly.
But he really couldn’t think of anything that in the Sky City could possibly relate to him.
"Could it be... humans..." Chen Guan thought over it again and again, and could only come to one answer.
The Celestial Secret Realm had nothing to do with Chen Guan, there was truly nothing.
If he must say, it was the humans brought into the Celestial Secret Realm earlier, since Ji Changsheng was here, perhaps other humans were also inside the Sky Garden.
If thinking even further, could it be possible that the Emperor Ancestor and the Great Qin Iron Cavalry were also inside the Sky Garden?
Back then it was the Spirit Devouring God who suppressed the Emperor Ancestor and the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, which was indeed possible.
Though Chen Guan wanted to know their whereabouts, it wasn’t quite to the point of necessity, compared to that, he wanted more to preserve his own life.
He was clearer in mind, since the Spirit Devouring God had recognized him, no matter where he hid, even if back in the Divine Land, it wouldn’t be safe.
The Spirit Devouring God could freely travel between the Divine Land and the Celestial Secret Realm, even if he hid back in the Divine Land, if the Spirit Devouring God truly wanted to find trouble for him, it wouldn’t be difficult.
Even knowing the Spirit Devouring God’s intentions weren’t simple, Chen Guan could only pretend to be clueless and continue playing along.
"Then I’d like to see what exactly is inside this Sky Garden." Chen Guan said as he took flight, heading towards the Sky Garden.
"Wait, if he enters the Sky Garden, does it mean my Virgo Race successfully escapes from Sky City?" Long Yue hurriedly asked.
"Yes." The Spirit Devouring God replied with just one word.
Chen Guan suddenly accelerated, pushing his speed to the limit, heading towards the entrance of the Sky Garden.
What seemed like a distant distance, only took Chen Guan a blink of an eye to reach the entrance of the garden.
He initially thought he would be caught by the Spirit Devouring God’s incredible power like Long Yue, directly brought to the Spirit Devouring God’s presence.
But the next second, he had already successfully entered the Sky Garden without encountering any resistance.
"My goodness... Spirit Devouring God..." Chen Guan shook his head with a bitter smile, the Spirit Devouring God really didn’t bother to act or disguise, just let him in.
Chen Guan surveyed the scene inside the Sky Garden, and the sight he saw made his eyes widen.
Outside the Sky Garden, Long Yue and Mi Xiang awaited the Spirit Devouring God to unleash his power and bring Chen Guan out.
But after waiting for a while, there was no sign of Chen Guan emerging from inside, and the Spirit Devouring God made no move at all.
"Return now, the Virgo Race can leave Sky City, go carry out the procedures for your people’s departure." The Spirit Devouring God’s voice sounded, making Long Yue nearly unable to believe her ears.
"Was it really that simple and successful?" Long Yue couldn’t believe it, stunned for a while, then seemed to realize something, gritted her teeth and looked at the Spirit Devouring God and asked, "What about him?"
"If he wishes to come out, he can freely come out, no one will stop him," The Spirit Devouring God replied.
Upon hearing this from the Spirit Devouring God, Long Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Virgo Race’s ability to escape from Sky City was entirely thanks to Chen Guan’s existence, if anything happened to Chen Guan because of this, she wouldn’t be at ease.
"What is your relationship with him?" Long Yue was still uneasy, and asked again.
"His body carries my blood..." One sentence from the Spirit Devouring God left Long Yue and Mi Xiang utterly shocked.
The entire world knew the Spirit Devouring God was a unique existence, yet this statement from the Spirit Devouring God clearly implied Chen Guan was his child, or at least a descendant.
"Is this really true?" Long Yue still couldn’t believe it, never having heard that the Spirit Devouring God had any blood relatives.
"If not for this, would you have gotten this far?" The Spirit Devouring God asked in return indifferently.
Long Yue immediately understood everything: "So that’s the reason, no wonder he is so powerful, and knows how to counter the abilities of humans and Mo Qin, so that’s why..."
Mi Xiang’s expression was even more complicated, still unable to believe that Chen Guan could be the descendant of the Spirit Devouring God.
