Dragon War God

Chapter 120 - Shock

“What?!”

Long Chen froze. His breathing quickened and grew haggard, his eyes turning bloodshot.

“Chen’er, don’t be brash! Wait for me to explain!”

Yang Yuntian was also anxious, but he knew that he needed Long Chen to keep his sanity.

Long Chen and Yang Lingqing were as close as siblings, so how was it possible for him to be calm when she was in trouble?

He was almost about to rush out the door.

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart and deep self-blame, Long Chen knew that he had to remain calm at a moment like this.

However, when he recalled the memories he shared with Yang Lingqing and thought about the animals that the Blood Saints were, his knuckles crackled and he clenched his fists.

Is it because of the Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony ...

Violence flashed in his eyes.

Yang Yuntian felt a bit more reassured when he saw that Long Chen was calmer. His eyes were filled with pain when he said, “It’s all my fault. I’m a useless father! I couldn’t even protect my daughter ...”

Yang Yuntian had already lost a son, and when he thought about how he might lose his daughter, his mind went blank.

“Second Uncle, don’t blame yourself. Tell me what happened in detail!” said Long Chen, biting his lip.

“Long Chen, were you involved in the killing of another two Grand Protectors?” asked Yang Yuntian, looking up.

Long Chen froze, thinking of Protector Qin and Protector Shi. Puzzled, he asked, “How did you know about that?”

Yang Yuntian shook his head. “That kidnapper said that two Grand Protectors died at Yanluo Town, and they discovered that it was done by the Lingwu family. Your name was involved, so he investigated your background and found that you were from Baiyang Town. As revenge, one of the Grand Protectors came to Baiyang Town, and he heard that Xue Yuanzi was also killed by you! So he attacked the Yang family!”

Long Chen didn’t expect to be the cause of them finding out about Xue Yuanzi. Three Grand Protectors had died, and all three deaths were tied to Long Chen. It was no wonder they would target him!

He blamed himself even more now, and the only thing he wanted to do was rush to the Blood Saints immediately. But he knew he couldn’t do that now. “Why did he kidnap Lingqing?”

Yang Yuntian lamented bitterly, “Father attained the Divine Core Realm with the help of the Ascension Fruit, so he just barely managed to fight the kidnapper, though he didn’t have the upper hand. However, Lingqing was collateral damage during the fight. When the kidnapper saw that there were traces of green in her blood, he declared that Lingqing had a Dark Yin Body, something that’s only seen once in a century, and took her away. Your grandfather had only just attained the Divine Core Realm, so he couldn’t stop him ...”

“Dark Yin Body?!” Gan Lin felt a chill when he heard the phrase.

Long Chen hurriedly asked, “Has the person gone back to the Blood Saints?”

Yang Yuntian nodded, his face pale. “He said that Lingqing’s Dark Yin Body was extremely important to their Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony. Father has been active in the Southern Ling District these few days and has already gotten wind that the Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony will happen the day after tomorrow!”

Long Chen’s world collapsed! “Two days? The Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony ...”

Fury and hatred surged within him as he glared daggers. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “If anything happens to Lingqing, everyone in the whole Blood Saints will go down with her!”

Yang Yuntian panicked when he saw the sudden eruption of Qi, and he said hurriedly, “Chen’er, I didn’t here come here to see you act brashly and kill yourself by going to the Blood Saints. You’re now a member of the Lingwu family, so I wanted to ask if we could get help from them.”

The Great Priest of the Blood Saints was the grandson of Emperor Yuan, and Long Chen wasn’t even an inner family member. Who would take this risk to help him?

At least Liu Lan wouldn’t. Liu Yuan definitely wouldn’t!

“Second Uncle, let’s not talk about that. Ask Grandfather to come here. I’ll go to the Blood Saints now. I promise Lingqing will be back here, unharmed, in a day’s time!”

Long Chen’s tone was cold but filled with determination. Dark Yin Body ... The Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony requires virgin blood. If Lingqing really has the Dark Yin Body, she’ll definitely be drained of all her blood ...

If that happened, Long Chen would go hysterical!

Even now, he could barely contain his rage.

Knowing of Long Chen’s temper and impulsive tendencies, Yang Yuntian had a bad feeling and scolded him sternly, “Chen’er, I didn’t come here to ask you to risk your life! You have a bright future, and it is your time to shine now that you’ve entered the Lingwu family. I don’t want to see you hurt because of Lingqing. It’s hell there with the Blood Saints. It’s not a place for a young teenager like you!”

Based on Yang Yuntian’s impression of him, Long Chen wasn’t even at the Human Core Realm yet, and the Blood Saints was filled with Earthly Core Realm masters. “Long Chen! Listen to me. Go ask the Lingwu family for help. We might stand a chance!”

While Yang Yuntian was speaking, Liu Lan had coincidentally entered. She walked in with an icy expression, and Gan Lin quickly bowed to her. “Madam Administrator!”

When Yang Yuntian heard her title, he was shocked.

He knew that an administrator was the head of the Turquoise Willow Residence and that she was at least at the Earthly Core Realm. He quickly suppressed his surging emotions and greeted Liu Lan respectfully. “Greetings, Madam Administrator. I am Yang Yuntian.”

Liu Lan merely nodded and turned to Long Chen. By now, Long Chen was already glaring at her with huge killing intent.

Yang Yuntian panicked when he saw the huge disrespect in Long Chen’s eyes, and he wanted to tell the boy to cease. To his surprise, Long Chen asked her coldly, “Administrator Liu, didn’t you say you’d keep tabs on the Blood Saints? That you’d keep me updated on their activities?”

The dissatisfaction in his tone was very clear, and even an outsider like Yang Yuntian could hear it. He quickly pulled Long Chen back and said apologetically, “Madam Administrator, my nephew is young and doesn’t know better. I hope you won’t take it to heart!”

Liu Lan’s gaze remained calm. She didn’t even look at Yang Yuntian—her eyes remained on Long Chen. She was surprised by this incident too.

She said flatly, “It was only a Grand Protector visiting Baiyang Town. I’ve been busy with the Heaven Martial Realm training exercise, so of course I didn’t notice it. Also, Long Chen, didn’t I already ask you to give up on fighting the Blood Saints? Don’t you know it’ll only get you killed? If you don’t deal with it well, it’ll cause your entire family to die tragic deaths!”

Long Chen was not intimidated. He merely smirked and said, “Alright, I don’t want to talk to you about the matter of responsibility. I only have one question: my cousin has been kidnapped and I’m going to go there. Are you guys going to help or not?”

There was not a hint of respect in his tone.

Based on Yang Yuntian’s understanding, Administrator Liu should have killed Long Chen immediately for speaking like that. But to his surprise, based on how she had responded, she seemed to take him seriously?

Yang Yuntian watched their conflict in a daze, fear slowly creeping into him. He really wanted to know how powerful Long Chen was right now.

Unless ... Has he already attained the Human Core Realm in just a little over a month?

Recalling that Long Chen had an Ascension Fruit, he felt that it was very much possible.

Liu Lan hesitated for a moment, then she shook her head. “Forget about me; even my father would not agree to let the Turquoise Sun Hall undertake such a huge risk over your private matters! Also, Long Chen, you are no match for the Blood Saints. I forbid you from going!”

“What right do you have to stop me?!”

Long Chen’s hopes for the Lingwu family had mostly disappeared by now. When he heard that Liu Lan was now forbidding him, he smirked.

“You!”

Despite her composure, her temper flared when she was challenged by Long Chen. She shuddered lightly and glared fiercely.

Yang Yuntian panicked. Long Chen had angered Administrator Liu! Long Chen might die here before they could go to the Blood Saints to save Yang Lingqing.

He subtly gestured to Long Chen, then said as if to flatter Administrator Liu, “Madam Administrator, Chen’er doesn’t know any better and speaks without thinking. Please do not take it to heart. We’ll deal with the Blood Saints ourselves, and we’ll leave right now. Will that be alright?”

Long Chen was extremely irritated by Yang Yuntian’s words. He quickly pulled Yang Yuntian behind him and said, “You don’t have to flatter her. What has she done to deserve such treatment?”

Glaring coldly at Administrator Liu and ignoring Yang Yuntian’s astonished glare, he said darkly, “My cousin is in enemy hands right now, and you want me to hide here. Let me ask you this: how am I any different from an animal if I do that? And if you’re the kind of person that allows your family to die, what makes you any different from an animal?!”

“Long Chen, don’t you be ridiculous!”

Liu Lan reddened with rage when she heard him say the word “animal.” However, everything he had said made sense and she couldn’t refute him.

“How am I being ridiculous?” Long Chen smirked, then he gestured to Yang Yuntian. “If the Lingwu family will chase me out for going to rescue my cousin, then I’m not staying! Second Uncle, let’s go!”

Then, under Liu Lan’s furious glare, he circled around her and left through the door.

“Long Chen, don’t blame me if you die!”

“My death is none of your business!”

Yang Yuntian’s mind was in a muddle when he heard the conversation.

Did he really just speak to an administrator like that ... How powerful is Chen’er ...
