Dragon War God

Chapter 121 - Wrath of the Heavens

Yang Yuntian was still in shock over Long Chen’s behavior. Even after they had left Lingwu City, he was still staring at the teenager in a daze.

“Do you know where the Blood Saints are?” asked Long Chen, turning around. He was no longer so emotional after leaving Lingwu City, but more killing intent was hidden within him.

“Your grandfather does. He’s in the Southern Ling District. I know where he is!”

“Then we’ll meet him first.”

Long Chen rushed forward without another word.

Yang Yuntian quickly followed. He had gradually woken from the shock and stared at Long Chen wistfully. While they traveled, he asked in a low voice, “Chen’er, could you tell me what your cultivation level is now?”

If Long Chen didn’t tell them, both Yang Yuntian and Yang Cangqiong wouldn’t let him enter the Blood Saints’ base. “Although I’m only at the mid Human Core Realm, I am confident that there is no one in the Human Core Realm who is a match for me. The Lingwu family held a training exercise recently, and I defeated a cultivator who had almost reached the Earthly Core Realm.”

Yang Yuntian’s eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, “Is that true? It’s only been a month ...”

Long Chen nodded. “I have some confidence regarding this matter with the Blood Saints. I’m not brainless; I won’t rush in blindly.”

“We’ll talk about it once we see your grandfather.”

Although Long Chen was powerful, he was still far from the Earthly Core Realm, so Yang Yuntian didn’t dare have high hopes. Although Long Chen was their only hope, he wasn’t sure if Yang Cangqiong would let Long Chen do anything. After all, he should focus on his own progress.

There was some distance between the Eastern and Southern Ling Districts. Both Long Chen and Yang Yuntian traveled as fast as they could but still more than half a day to get there. “Your grandfather is staying at a small inn here. This is the location he used for correspondence.”

The Southern Ling District was much less developed than the Eastern Ling District, though it was still much more advanced compared to Baiyang Town and Yuanyang City.

Very soon, both of them arrived at a comparatively simple inn. “The Blood Saints are located on the fringes of Yuanling City’s Southern Ling District. There are no major factions around, since the population is smaller. The Blood Saints can be considered the only powerful faction here.”

The Blood Saints were nothing but a speck of dust compared to the Lingwu family. However, this speck of dust was a boulder to Long Chen. Furthermore, behind this boulder was another gigantic entity altogether.

“There’s some commotion in the inn!”

Long Chen was still enquiring about the Blood Saints when the silent Ling Xi suddenly said, “I think it’s your grandfather. He’s about to fight a Human Core Realm cultivator.”

Long Chen was shocked.

Within a guest room, Yang Cangqiong was eyeing a middle-aged man clad in blood-red robes in shock and fear. The man looked at him, smirking coldly. “I was curious about the person who has been gathering information about the Blood Saints for the past few days. I didn’t expect it to be you, old man. You’d only just stepped into the Human Core Realm, and you’re so active already, crawling all the way here from Baiyang Town.”

Yang Cangqiong had a lifetime of experience under his belt and couldn’t be intimidated that easily. However, he had lost pretty much all hope when he realized that he had been found out.

Yang Lingqing was still with them, and they had found him, the most powerful member of his family. Even if he could defeat this man and escape, he would no longer be able to stay anywhere nearby. And the Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony was going to begin in a day’s time. Yang Lingqing would die.

He was merely at the initial Human Core Realm, so he didn’t stand a chance against an immense faction such as the Blood Saints.

Although he didn’t look defeated on the surface, he had lost all hope inside. “To be fair, I need to thank you, old man. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have discovered the Dark Yin Body. You must know that one Dark Yin Body is equivalent to a thousand girls’ Yin blood. The Grand Priest’s reward to me was so generous that the other five Sect Elders were extremely envious!”

“You are committing the heinous crime of collecting the blood of girls and cultivating it in a blood bath ... Are you all not afraid of the wrath of the heavens?”

“Heavens? What does that even mean? With power, we are the heavens!” The red-robed man shrugged. “Just like how I’m stronger than you. Right now, I am the heavens, and the one facing the wrath of the heavens is you!”

As Yang Cangqiong watched the man laugh hysterically, he felt helpless. Must Lingqing endure such suffering?

When he thought about how his beloved granddaughter was going to die a miserable death, his heart shattered. He would rather die in her place, not that innocent teenage girl!

“We will hold another Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony, and the power of the Blood Saints will strengthen once more. Afterwards, we will recruit even more followers and grow. One day, we will grow to be as strong as the Lingwu family and the Beast Soul Palace!”

“Dream on!”

Yang Cangqiong smirked coldly. He was already thinking of a way to escape from this threat.

“Oh? I’ll kill you now and you’ll know if I’m dreaming!”

Then a powerful aura exploded from the man. The guests of the inn were startled and attempted to rush over, but the man stated in a cold voice, “This is the Blood Saints’s business. All irrelevant people must leave!”

A crowd ran out of the inn immediately, leaving frantically.

People like them lived in the shadow of the Blood Saints.

Yang Cangqiong was grieving, but he knew that he was the pillar of the Yang family and that he could not fall now. “I didn’t give you a taste of my Black-tier Combat Technique during our last fight. This time, I’ll show you just how powerful it is, you country bumpkin!”

Yang Cangqiong grimaced. He couldn’t defeat this man in front of him because he had only just entered the Human Core Realm, plus he didn’t have an equivalent combat technique!

“If you want to kill me, you’ll have to pay a heavy price!”

His eyes were red, radiating killing intent. The man froze, then he smirked. “I can’t believe you dare threaten me, old man! You’re bold, but you’ll die today!”

Then a powerful aura pressed on Yang Cangqiong, and the man’s Qi erupted to form the image of a Fist Seal on his hand. Yang Cangqiong despaired when he saw the Black-tier technique. Am I really going to die today?

He thought about his life thus far and lamented that the events of recent times had just gotten more and more tragic! I hope Yuntian finds my body and buries me in Baiyang Town! However, if I die, you’ll die with me too!

Yang Cangqiong roared in fury and started to use the Primordial Dragon Seal!

Two powerful sources of energy peaked instantaneously and, with loud cries, both parties charged at each other!

The red-robed man was sneering coldly. “Die! Jade Breaking Fist!”

“Primordial Dragon Seal!”

Both attacks collided; the Jade Breaking Fist swallowed the Primordial Dragon Seal and was about to kill Yang Cangqiong when the window burst open. Someone stepped in front of the man and reached out to stop his fist.

The red-robed man was initially launching a furious attack but was suddenly rendered immobile.

He was completely stunned by the sudden arrival of a newcomer. When Yang Cangqiong saw the familiar figure in front of him, he quickly retracted his Primordial Dragon Seal, stunned.

How could he ever forget the shock that this teenager had brought him in the past?

Seeing Long Chen abruptly jump in and casually diffuse the man’s powerful Black-tier Combat Technique with just one hand, not even with a change in expression, Yang Cangqiong was shocked to his core.

He was in as much disbelief as the other man.

The man stared at Long Chen, stunned, then fear slowly crept into his eyes. He knelt hurriedly and cried, “S-sir ... May I ask why you are blocking this humble servant?”

“Why?”

Long Chen smiled and patted the man’s cheek. They were loud slaps, but the man didn’t dare retaliate. “You want to kill my grandfather, and yet you ask me why?”

The man’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed, “You’re the guy from the Lingwu family? Long Chen? How could you be this strong?!”

He wanted to struggle and escape, but Long Chen grabbed his arm and twisted it. The man shrieked as his arm was bent at an unnatural angle. “I think it’s best if you don’t move, or your other arm will also be broken.”

He lost all hope when he heard Long Chen’s cold threat. Tears flowed when he realized his predicament, wanting to beg Long Chen for forgiveness.

“I can forgive you. If you answer my questions properly, I won’t kill you.”

Then Long Chen turned and looked at Yang Cangqiong, who was looking at himself in shock, and said, “I’m sorry, Grandfather. I was too late ...”

Yang Cangqiong woke from his shock and said hurriedly, “No, you’re not late at all. But Chen’er, is that really you?”

“How can it not be me?”

“How powerful are you?”

Yang Cangqiong still felt like he had made a mistake. Long Chen had only just entered the Lingwu family a month ago. How could he be strong enough to defeat an initial Human Core Realm cultivator so casually in such a short time?

He had personally experienced how powerful the man was, and even he could do nothing. So how had Long Chen done it?

Yang Yuntian entered the room and was shocked to see what was happening. “Grandfather, just ask Second Uncle to answer any questions you have. I’m going to interrogate this bastard!”
