Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 5 - Promise

Long Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears. Who told his son to go around doing evil deeds despite his warnings? Why did he spoil him? Now look at the consequences, he offended someone his family could not afford to. People with the Cultivation above Immortal Realm in this Realm can be counted on one hand, yet, his son somehow offended one by killing their disciple.

*Ripple* "Hmph, I don't care about you old bones, but you Long Huo, will stay here forever!"

"S-senior! That won't be good, he is not only the successor of my Long Family but is also a direct disciple of Church of the Qilin God, one of the Four Ancient Land. If you kill him, I am afraid the sect might not let this go..." Long Zhen tried to use the name of the Four Ancient Land to pressure this Senior. No matter who you are in the Immortal Realm, you have to give some face to the Four Ancient Land. They have been around for millions of years and had yet to face anything that can shake them.

*Ripple* "Hahaha, you're threatening me? Don't worry; I will not kill him." The voice laughed.

"Really?! Thank you, Senior!" Long Zhen was so happy he wanted to jump. His threat had worked!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" But before he could rejoice, he heard a familiar sound screaming. He looked back to see his son, Long Huo, knelt on the ground, puking blood.

"Huo'er!!" Long Zhen turned pale and ran to his son to check his condition.

"What! His Dantian broke?" Long Zhen's face was now ghastly pale. What does a broken Dantian mean? It meant his son's Cultivation had been crippled and he can never Cultivate again! He will live a life as a mortal from now on. For a genius like him who had his future being limitless, was a fate worse than death! Even if there are miracle medicines in this world that can heal one's Dantian, where can they get one and can they even afford it?

"Senior! What's the meaning of this!" Long Zhen screamed angrily.

"I said I would not kill him, but I did not say I will not punish him." the voice sneered.

* * * * *

The bright sky turned black, and red lightning thundered with anger.

The spectators were shocked and shouted, "Heaven's Wrath! It only happens when a Devil Cultivator is being punished!"

"Heaven's Wrath..." Long Zhen looked up into the sky with a face full of pain and agony. This was definitely here for his son.

Now that Long Huo had his Dantian crushed and turned into a mortal, how can he hide his dark soul from Heaven's sight anymore? And without any Cultivation, how can he block against Heaven's Wrath?

"Hopeless! It's hopeless!" Long Zhen knew it was impossible to protect his son. Even if he used his body to protect his son, it will only make the Heaven's Wrath stronger and will not stop until his son perishes. But he still had to try, even if his efforts are futile and will die alongside with his son.

Long Zhen who was prepared to fight the Heaven's Wrath for his son, felt an unfathomable force pull him away and flew back.

The gloomy black sky flashed red and like a holy beam, except red and full of anger, tears through the air and struck at the kneeling Long Huo.

"NO!!!" Long Zhen screamed.

*BANG* A loud bang resounded throughout the entire Xian Chengshi, the earth shook, the trees around where it struck were turned into ash and where Long Huo was at a moment ago, transformed into a crater.

"AHHHHHH!! HUO'ER!!! NO!!!!" Long Zhen cried for the first time in a hundred thousand years.

He felt guilty and blamed himself! Guilty for not teaching his son properly! Guilty for not stopping his son earlier! Guilty for not being able to protect his son!
