Chapter 434: Netherworld Sect

"The Southern Heavenly Domain will need you to defend it sooner or later, for I have grown old," Long Qingtian said with a smile.

"I'm not interested," Long Chen replied. "Defending the Southern Heavenly Domain is your duty, guarding Great Xia's borders is mine; our responsibilities do not conflict."

"We'll talk about this matter later," Long Qingtian said. "Son, I haven't looked for you all these years; do you harbor any resentment towards me in your heart?"

"Not at all," Long Chen answered. "I know you couldn't easily return."

Long Qingtian was taken aback; Long Chen's reaction was somewhat different from what he had expected.

"Son, I have been aware of your circumstances over the years, but with my duties and constant warfare, I really couldn't spare the time," Long Qingtian explained again with a wry smile.
