Chapter 394 - A Futile Provocation

At this moment, the atmosphere within the main hall of the Leviathan Palace was extremely tensed and the air was heavy.

Whether it was the 4th ancestor of the Brahama Sect or the other elders, they all had their aggressive pair of eyes fixated on the shards of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway Key in Ling Chen's hand.

A powerful murderous glint flashed in their eyes just like a poisonous serpent staring at its prey. The fact that they didn't attack right away was indicative of their patience and self-control.

Meanwhile, the previous Palace Lord of the Leviathan Palace was sweating profoundly while watching this scene. It seemed like the thing he didn't want the most was going to happen.

As for Ling Chen, despite looking like a lost lamb as he faced so many powerful experts, he was still calm as ever as his gaze swept past everyone with a mysterious and cunning smile plastered on his face.

One could even describe him as a drowning man surrounded by angry sharks that were ready to swarm him once they smelled blood or a rabbit in a tiger's den.

Finally, his gaze stopped on the 4th Ancestor of the Brahama Sect and nonchalantly said." So, now that I've shown you the shards of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway Key, what's next."

Looking at the cunning smile on Ling Chen's face as well as his nonchalant attitude, the 4th Ancestor of the Brahama Sect was even more sure of his intuition.

This was an extremely dangerous young man!

Even knowing full well that he was in the presence of several powerful God-King experts, he was still extremely calm. Such a person was either truly confident in his strength or was a madman.

And knowing how Ling Chen was able to easily kill the 7 Supreme Elders of the Leviathan Palace as well as his weird dark corroding power, the 4th Ancestor was sure that it was the former.

"Little friend, you don't know how happy this old man is right now. It's like I was given another lease at life."

"With discovering of the last shard of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway Key, we can fix the Dimensional Spatial Gateway Key and I can finally leave this damn prison."

"And it's all thanks to you little friend. You have my deepest gratitude." Said the 4th Ancestor as he gently bowed to Ling Chen with a grateful expression on his face.

At this moment, whether it was the previous Palace Lord of the Leviathan Palace or the elders of the Brahama Sect, they were all surprised by the 4th Ancestor's sudden action and attitude toward Ling Chen.

Who was the 4th Ancestor of the Brahama Sect?

He was one of the oldest and also the highest existence throughout the whole 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe. An old man who had raised several powerful God-King experts and also one of the founders of the Brahama Sect.

Yet a character like that actually bowed to a little brat!

Nonetheless, though they didn't know why the 4th Ancestor was behaving that way, they didn't dare to disrespect him as they followed suit and bowed their heads as a sign of gratitude as well.

"I see! It seems like you are smarter and wiser than I thought." Replied Ling Chen after hearing the 4th Ancestor's words.

Even though he was complementing the 4th Ancestor of the Brahama Sect, he had a disappointing look on his face.

"You seemed very disappointed little friend. Is there something wrong?" Asked the 4th Ancestor after seeing the look on Ling Chen's face.

Not only the 4th Ancestors of the Brahama Sect, but even the other elders could also tell that Ling Chen was greatly disappointed. However, none of them could understand why.

In their opinion, a little brat like Ling Chen should be honored and jumping with joy having someone like the mighty 4th Ancestor of the Brahama Sect bowed and thanked him.

Yet, not only didn't that little rascal look grateful, he even dared to look disappointed and disgruntled as though someone had stolen something precious from him.

"Indeed, I am kinda sad and disappointed. I was hoping that you would threaten me and join forces to kill me for the shards of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway Key, but you didn't." Replied Ling Chen with a regretful look on his face.

Upon hearing Ling Chen's words, not only the elders of the Brahama Sect were confused by it, even the 4th Ancestor and the previous Palace Lord of the Leviathan Palace were puzzled as well.

Does this little bastard have a screw loose or something?

No sane person in this predicament would say such a thing. Instead of being happy that they didn't surround him and kill him, he was sad and disappointed. Did this little bastard have a death wish?

"But why would you want that." Asked the 4th Ancestor with a puzzled expression on his face. Just like the others, he was also lost.

"It's simple, I just wanted a reason to kill you all. But now that you all behave yourself and control your greed, I can't just kill you like that. After all, I am not a homicidal maniac." Said Ling Chen nonchalantly.

What!

In just a moment, everyone's expressions turned quite ugly. This was no longer about at the shards of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway Key anymore. Ling Chen's blatant contempt had humiliated and antagonized all of them.

"Junior, you are being too arrogant. It seems like I'll have to teach you a lesson." Yelled out of the elders as he was unable to contain their anger.

Not only that Elder, but all of them were thinking the same thing as well. At this time, they were all glaring at with a cold and murderous look on their faces. Ling Chen had now completely provoked their prestige and ego.

If they didn't teach this ignorant person a lesson, people would think that they were easy to bully.

"Everyone stands down." Hurriedly said the 4th Ancestor as he suddenly released his unfathomable aura to pressure and calm the elders down.

"I am sorry to hear that we spoiled your plan little friend. But I'm truly not looking for a fight nor do I need to. I just trying to get the hell out of this damn prison. As you can see, this old man doesn't have much longer to live." Said the 4th ancestor with a sincere expression on his face.

"You are indeed a smart old man. Now you're making me look like the bad guy." Said Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face.

"Alright, enough with the game. Let's get down to business and fix that Dimensional Spatial Gateway Key." He added.

----------------A little Note--------------

Hello guys, sorry for the long absence. Also, I wanted to let you guys know that I won't be able to post regular chapters for COTSC. Maybe twice a week.

I love writings and I wish I could do write all the time and even full time but I can't do it due to some circumstances, life circumstances.

Anyway, lately, I've been rewriting an old novel of mine named Ultimate Weapon System In An Apocalypse World and also working on this new project called The Evil Mad Prince.

I received a contract offer for" The Evil Mad Prince." However, I don't intend to take it. I already have a ******* Page, so I intend to do extra chapters on there for those who want to support me for both novels.

The reason I did this was that I want to use these two works as a way to lessen some of my financial burdens so I can continue doing what I love the most, writing.

I don't plan on dropping COTSC, so don't worry. I love this novel and you guys too much to do that. Plus, I already signed the contract for the COTSC and I plan on honoring it till the end.

Again, I'm sorry about that. I hope you can understand. Also, it's only gonna be for a month or two. Once, things started to settle in, I will be back with daily chapters for COTSC.

I love you guys and thank you for loving and reading this novel.

Also, the rewrite of the Ultimate Weapon System In An Apocalypse World is already on RoyalRoad. I plan on uploading on this site later.
