Dragon-Blooded War God

After leaving the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range, the trio chose a more obscure path as they headed towards the Cloud Dream Swamp.

“There is a small city called White City a hundred kilometers from here. That’s where I was born; I spent my childhood there,” Jian Chen said wistfully. His eyes were dark.

“White City? Third Brother, do you want to visit? It won’t take long,” said Long Chen. Jian Chen’s journey was similar to his own. If he were to pass by Baiyang Town, he would definitely want to go.

“There’s no need. With me being wanted and all, there’s no need to go back. Also, my parents both died a long time ago and so did my grandparents. I wasn’t close with anyone else. If I went back now, I’d just get them in trouble. That would be bad,” said Jian Chen, shaking his head after some thought.

“Third Brother, don’t be so hesitant. Even if you don’t visit, you can still look at it from afar,” said Lan Ling’er.

“Alright, then. It’s been about ten years since I last went back. So much has changed in these ten years. When I was young, I felt like a hero when I joined the Martial Alliance. Who would have thought I’d end up like this?” Jian Chen looked resigned as he stared into the distance.

“We were born to be eagles. No faction can tie us down,” said Long Chen suddenly.

Jian Chen and Lan Ling'er nodded. They both loved freedom, so they had ended up together.

Xiaolang moved quicker than the Golden Lightning Stallions, so the journey was effortless. They quickly covered a hundred kilometers. There was some excitement in Jian Chen's eyes, as he was about to reach the place he was born in.

Long Chen looked up and saw a small city ahead. It was not big and looked tranquil. However, there seemed to be some loud noise coming from it.

Upon closer inspection, he saw many people on top of the city walls, but the city gates were tightly shut.

“Third Brother, something is happening at White City.” The three of them only wanted to take a look and leave immediately, but after Long Chen saw the abnormal situation, he quickly alerted them.

Both Lan Ling'er and Jian Chen saw it too.

Lan Ling'er was not sure what was happening, but Jian Chen’s expression soon turned unbelievably cold!

“I’m going there now!” Jian Chen said coldly. Then, he urged his stallion on with his crop, and they turned into a yellow lightning storm that flew towards White City. Long Chen and Lan Ling'er looked at each other.

“Follow him!” Although they didn’t know what Jian Chen was doing, he was not an impulsive person, so Long Chen trusted him.

The three of them flew to White City like a gust of wind. When they approached, Long Chen saw what was going on. The people on the walls were all looking in the same direction, which was the top of the city walls. Long Chen then saw thirty-plus thick ropes dangling from the wall, with a body at the bottom of each rope. He did not know if they had been strangled or strung up after they died.

Thirty-plus bodies were hanging in the same fashion. It was an eerie sight.

This is bad … Long Chen and Lan Ling'er’s eyes met, seeing the worry in each other. Those people were likely people from Jian Chen’s clan, or Jian Chen would not have had this reaction!

A thick aura of violence radiated from Jian Chen!

Long Chen saw a silhouette above the city tower—the Flower Martial King!

She must have known about Jian Chen’s past. After running from the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range, she must have come here to kill his whole clan and hung them on the wall as revenge! She knew Jian Chen and the others would surely come here!

Looking at the smirk on the Flower Martial King’s face, Long Chen confirmed his suspicions. Although Jian Chen was not very close to his family, it was likely that they had all been killed.

Long Chen saw many Martial Alliance Enforcers in the small White City. Usually, such a small city would not need this many Enforcers. This meant that the Martial Alliance had long set a trap here, and they were only waiting for Jian Chen to fall into it!

This was why Jian Chen’s family had lived until now!

They were alive only because they could serve as bait.

Looking at the row of bodies and the cold smirk on the Flower Martial King’s face, Long Chen knew that if he was Jian Chen, he would go crazy! Thankfully, he still had his wits about him.

“Xiaolang, catch up to Third Brother,” Long Chen said hurriedly with a dark expression.

They quickly rushed up to Jian Chen, who had already stopped, dismounted, and unsheathed his sword. Jian Chen was marching towards White City one heavy footstep at a time.

Long Chen approached and saw that Jian Chen’s eyes had turned blood-red. A thick aura of violence radiated from him. Long Chen knew that his killing intent must have risen to the limit!

No one could remain calm in a situation like that!

“Third Brother … The Flower Martial King would only dare do this if she had a way to defeat us. We will definitely take revenge, but let’s calm down first. Let’s assess the situation and kill our enemies, alright?” Long Chen said solemnly.

“I am unable to remain calm.” Jian Chen’s voice was as cold as ice.

“Third Brother, no matter what happens, we will fight alongside you. However, we must remain calm, or not only will we not get our revenge, but those bastards will take advantage of us too. That would be bad,” Lan Ling'er said gently, grabbing his arm.

Jian Chen stopped and took a deep breath. “Why don’t you guys head to the Cloud Dream Swamp? I’ll catch up right after I deal with this.”

Long Chen stood in front of him and blocked him. He stared straight into Jian Chen’s eyes and said, “You said that we are brothers and sisters. Third Brother, is that what you think brothers do? We live together and die together. That is what a brother is to me. Just now, you protected me when I was using the Emperor Flame Pearl. Now it’s my time to repay you!”

“That’s right. We will never leave,” said Lan Ling'er in a panic.

Seeing as they were so insistent, and Long Chen’s words had touched Jian Chen, he regained some of his senses. He took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. If he drowned in rage and only killed blindly, he would fall into their trap.

Why would the Flower Martial King dare face the three of them without some kind of trap?

When the trio arrived in front of the city gates, Jian Chen did not even look at the people above the walls. With a frigid expression and holding back his great sorrow, he put the bodies one by one in his Universe Pouch. After taking the last body, he returned to Long Chen’s side. Long Chen saw tears in his eyes.

“I was the one who brought them harm.” It was a short sentence, but the endless self-blame was evident.

“If I can live on, I will never let the Martial Alliance live in peace again. No matter how many masters appear, I will kill them all until no one remains in the Martial Alliance!” Jian Chen swore in front of Long Chen and Lan Ling'er.

Long Chen and Xiaolang locked eyes, knowing that a major battle was coming.

“Jian Chen, this is the first present from the Martial Alliance to you. Aren’t you surprised? Are you going to cry from joy? Of course, don’t thank me—this isn’t from me. I was only in charge of hanging them …” Then she let out a seductive giggle.

Jian Chen clenched his fists tightly.

“You bitch! Get the fuck down here! I beat you up so bad just now that you ran off with your tail between your legs, and now you’re being a coward?!” Lan Ling'er was almost blinded by rage. She had never seen such a shameless woman in her life!

“What did you say?!” The Flower Martial King was annoyed. Lan Ling'er hated her, and the hatred was reciprocated. However, she had not completed her task here, so she ignored Lan Ling'er and continued looking at Jian Chen. “Next, the Martial Alliance would like to give you your second present. Second present, please come out …”

Second present?

Were there more people killed?

Long Chen’s brows furrowed.

A man suddenly appeared behind her with a flash and pulled her into his arms. He expertly reached his hand into her clothes and grabbed her breast, brazenly kneading it. The Flower Martial King was reduced to whimpers, accompanied by vigorous panting. Her face immediately reddened and her eyes glazed over.

Long Chen felt greatly threatened by this man.

Upon closer inspection, this man had a head full of white hair and a wrinkled face. He was tall and thin, looking to be in his fifties. There was a cold glint in his hawk-like eyes. He did not look at the Flower Martial King in his arms, but at Jian Chen.

“My good disciple, how have you been?” His hoarse voice, along with the Flower Martial King’s moans, rang through the air. The Flower Martial King’s voice made everyone’s imaginations run wild and their mouths grew dry, but his voice made their hairs stand on end.

Disciple? Is he Jian Chen’s master? Long Chen wondered.

Lan Ling'er’s face changed and she whispered in Long Chen’s ear, “This is bad. That person was Third Brother’s master in the Martial Alliance. He’s the Void Martial Saint. He was the one who taught Third Brother his sword techniques, and he is a violent and short-tempered person. Third Brother left the Martial Alliance because he couldn’t stand his way of teaching!”

Martial Saints were similar to Demon Saints. Cultivators at the First Earthly Martial Stage were given the King title, like Demon King and Martial King. Those at the Second Earthly Martial Stage were called Saints, such as Sword Saint, Demon Saint, and Martial Saint. Cultivators who had reached the Third Earthly Martial Stage were known as Emperors; the Demon Emperor and the three Martial Emperors of the Martial Alliance were on this level.

The Void Martial Saint was at the Second Earthly Martial Stage!

Long Chen knew they were in trouble. This was the Flower Martial King’s trump card! With the Void Martial Saint here, what was there to be afraid of?
