Chapter 1395 - 1395: I'll Finish It
"Send him in," the Immortal Queen replied. Or to be more precise, it was her clone doing the talking since the actual person had run away.
"You can go in." the guard told Long Chen, opening the doors of the Palace.
Long Chen stepped inside the palace, smiling.
"I was right, wasn't I? You were bluffing." As Long Chen walked past the woman, he didn't forget to whisper something in her ears.
After he went in, the door of the Palace closed.
Long Chen stepped inside the Palace, finding himself in the hall. There was a shining line in the middle of the hall, going upstairs. He followed the line, wondering if it was the directions to lead to the Royal Chamber.
He certainly needed that because he realised that he couldn't use his Divine Sense inside the palace. His Divine Sense could only see through a few metres inside the palace. In fact, his eyes could see more here than his Divine Sense could.
The palace was certainly made from some rare material that blocked the use of Divine Sense inside.
He followed the shining light and went upstairs to the first floor. The line was going to the right. He moved right as well and stopped before a door where the like stopped.
He turned towards the door and reached out his hand to push the door open. Before his hand could even touch the door, the door opened on its own.
"Come inside." A beautiful voice came from inside.
Long Chen stepped inside, finding a beautiful lady looking out through the window.
He directly used his Buddha Gaze to test something. As soon as he noticed the woman, he couldn't see her strength which made him feel like she wasn't real.
The Buddha Gaze confirmed his suspicion. The lady was not real. Her cloning skill was certainly a notch higher than the skill of the Northern Emperor, but it still failed to fool the Heavenly skill of Buddha Sect.
He was finding the skill more and more useful by now. He couldn't help but wonder where the real lady was. Since he couldn't use Divine Sense, he couldn't search the whole Palace while standing here.
For all he knew, the lady might actually be in the next room itself. It could also be possible that she ran away before he entered. The only thing he could be sure about was that she wasn't in this time.
He didn't let the woman know that he had already noticed that she was fake. Since he wanted answers, it didn't matter at the moment.
He walked closer to the lady near the window. "Is the view outside that good?"
"Much better than our boring Palace," the Immortal Queen replied.
"Then why don't you go outside. Why stay inside? I mean, it's not as if you need to be scared about someone killing you, right?" Long Chen asked as if he was talking about something casual.
Hearing his words, the woman felt her face twitch. She wondered if those two idiots told him about her.
"Let alone kill, no one could even dare hurt a beauty like yourself," Long Chen said, smiling. "Leave this boring Palace and step outside. The world outside is truly beautiful."
"It looks like you have seen a lot of this world," the woman asked.
"Apparently. I think I've seen plenty from the mortal world to the Immoral World and even Heaven. I must be the right person to say this, but the world is certainly beautiful."
"Is that so? I'll certainly think about going outside." The woman looked at Long Chen, showing her beautiful smile. "However, I do wonder. What brought a distinguished traveller like you to this boring Palace of mine."
" What can I say? Some questions can be so strong that they can force a person to move from world to world. And one such question led me here."
"Oh? And what question might that be? If I may ask."
"A question about my life and death," Long Chen replied, looking out the window. "You see, the world is so vast and so beautiful. I couldn't help but wonder why someone would leave such a beautiful world for millions of years, seal herself and send people to kill someone they never met."
"It's the question which has been troubling me for so long. I've consulted many scholars but didn't find my answer. So I thought I should consider you this time since I heard that you are so wise," he added.
"So, why don't you tell me if you can guess an answer. Why would a stranger want to kill another stranger who didn't even know them?"
The Immortal Queen understood what Long Chen was implying. He was pretending to be ignorant, but he knew about her and what she did. He was playing with her at the moment, and she didn't want to let him have the fun.
"Maybe that person knew something related to the second person even though the two were Stanger? An information which made the first person concerned?" The woman replied.
"An information? Something like a prediction about a future death at the hands of someone who isn't going to be born for millions of years?" Long Chen asked. "You're really stupid, aren't you?"
"Instead of being scared and running away, you could've tried to take the lead. Since you knew the future, you couldn't try changing it in a better way. You couldn't approach me and make friends with me. You could've helped me if you were scared that I was going to kill you otherwise."
"I would never have killed a friend and the person who would have helped me in my journey. Instead, you sent people to kill me?"
He couldn't help but sigh as he continued. "It was as if you were trying to make the prediction come true by giving me a reason to kill you."
"So you're going to kill me now?" The woman asked.
She actually wanted Long Chen to kill her. As it was her clone, she could give Long Chen the saturation of killing her while her real self stayed safe. She could actually fool Long Chen.
"Kill a clone? How would that benefit me?" Long Chen asked. "Of course, it would be a different matter if you were brave enough to show your real self here."
"Let me guess. You already ran away, didn't you?" he asked, smiling. "Not a bad decision. However, you should know one thing."
"What thing?" The woman asked.
"It's that I don't care about your prediction. But one thing is true. Even though I didn't start this enmity first, I would certainly be the one to finish it one day. So make sure you always stay hidden.. Because the day I find you, you shall see what true death looks like."
