Dragon War God

Chapter 616 - Fengyun Group

“I’ve seen everyone in the Dragon clan. You must be Long Chen, our newest member, since you’re referring to my sister as ‘Eldest Sister.’ And you have the same name as me! I’ve heard the news of what you’ve done before I was imprisoned here. I never thought you would come here though.”

Long Chen was even more certain of who the youth was.

The youth was none other than Long Chen.

Long Chen had finally found someone significant after three days here.

The youth was captured and imprisoned roughly a month ago, so he didn’t know what had happened outside.

Long Chen said, “I’m here to rescue you both.”

“Us?” The youth laughed. “You must be crazy. There’s no exit in the Nine Spirit Purgatory. You cannot escape once you enter.”

Long Chen smiled but didn’t explain more.

“Wait, you said both of us. Who else are you rescuing?” The youth was confused.

Long Chen knew that the youth didn’t know Long Yue had been imprisoned as well. They would’ve been together if they had met each other in this place.

“Eldest Sister is also imprisoned here. She came here roughly ten days ago after hearing that you were imprisoned here. She battled against the Martial Overlord and lost.”

“What?!” The youth’s cold expression instantly turned pale as he looked at Long Chen incredulously. “You mean my sister tried to rescue me and got imprisoned here too?!”

“It’s the truth. I came here to rescue her too.”

The youth was in a daze as he contemplated what to do. He squatted on the ground and held his head in despair. “Why would she risk her life to rescue me? I’ve never listened to her once and always angered her. I even left her, so why did she come here? I thought she hated me.”

They really did argue before he left. Long Chen smiled. “How could she hate you? You are her brother, and your sister will always take care of you, no matter what happens. You are the only one who truly thinks she hates you.”

In reality, the youth was in his rebellious phase, which was why he had refused to let Long Yue take care of him. That was why he left her, but it was not a significant enough conflict to damage his relationship with her.

Bonds between siblings weren't fragile enough to shatter with just an argument.

The youth fell quiet after listening to Long Chen, then he shook his head and recovered. “She’s so stupid. She should’ve thought of me as dead as soon as I was imprisoned. Why did she waste her life? Our clan is now extinct.”

Long Chen smiled. Those words meant that the youth was no longer at odds with his sister. It was good news since he could save both him and Long Yue at the same time.

The youth then looked at Long Chen. “You came here to rescue my sister. Does that mean you know the way out?”

It only just dawned on him that Long Chen had come prepared.

Long Chen nodded. “I do know the method, but we must find your sister first. The Martial Overlord must’ve taken all of her King Crystals when he threw her into this place. I haven’t seen her once in the past three days.”

The youth panicked and clenched his fists. “That Martial Overlord bastard. How dare he hurt my sister! I will tear him to bits!”

The youth didn’t even think to ask how to escape when he heard that his sister was injured.

Long Chen had a lot of King Crystals and spare Universe Pouches. He took out a hundred King Crystals and placed them in a Universe Pouch. “Here, take this.”

The youth was shocked when he saw the hundred King Crystals. “Why do you have so many?”

Long Chen chuckled. “I got them on my own. You should be able to recover with this much. Since you’re at the Third Earthly Martial Stage, you should be able to last until we get out of this place.”

“Brother, I, Long Chen, will never forget what you’ve done for me.”

Long Chen laughed dryly. “Don’t say ‘Long Chen’ anymore. We have the same name, so it feels weird.”

The two of them became close just like that.

Long Chen liked the youth’s personality and soon got on very friendly terms with him.

The youth then remembered to ask the important question. “Wait, I thought there was no exit to this place? I’ve been exploring for an entire month and still haven’t found the exit. No matter how much I walk, I always end up in the same place or region. How do you know there’s an exit? How do we get out?”

“I learned it from Xiao Lin. It should exist.”

“How do we find it, then?”

“Xiao Lin told me that there’s a ten-meter-tall hill. Climb up the hill and dig down a hundred meters to find a compass. Follow the direction of the compass and we will be able to leave the Nine Spirit Purgatory.”

“A hill and a compass? Then the compass must be something special. As for a ten-meter-tall hill .... I think I saw it once.”

Long Chen was excited to hear that since it meant Xiao Lin wasn’t lying.

“Do you know where it is?”

The youth frowned. “I do not. It’s very hard to go back to an exact location here. But I’ve seen it once, so it must be real. Since you have enough King Crystals, we have a lot of time to find it again.”

The youth was right.

They had time and hope on their side.

“Still, we need to find your sister first. Let’s move out now. Not only is she a lady, she’s also injured. It’s very dangerous for her to be here in such a vulnerable state.”

The youth was also worried about his sister, so he nodded. He quickly followed Long Chen to find Long Yue’s whereabouts. Rather than finding her, it was more accurate to say that they just walked in random directions to test their luck. If they walked in a straight line, they would find themselves back where they started.

After absorbing the King Crystals, the youth’s strength returned to the Third Earthly Martial Stage. He now knew that Long Chen was at the Second Earthly Martial Stage. “You are very strong for your age. You should be able to reach the Third Earthly Martial Stage in a short amount of time,” the youth commented.

Long Chen nodded. His current combat capabilities far exceeded that of a regular Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator. Even the youth couldn’t win against him, especially after Long Chen merged the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw and Wind God Kick. The combination of his claws and kicks was devastating.

There were a lot of people in the Nine Spirit Purgatory. The Martial Overlord regularly imprisoned people here, including those not even at the Earthly Martial Realm. Long Chen and the youth captured everyone they encountered to ask about Long Yue’s whereabouts, but none of them had an answer.

Long Chen and the youth’s patient gradually wore out. Ten days later, they felt like they had circled around the entire Nine Spirit Purgatory, but still hadn’t found Long Yue.

On the twelfth day, Long Chen caught a First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator. The man had tried to take Long Chen’s King Crystals but was defeated.

Long Chen suppressed the man and asked about Long Yue. Surprisingly, the man hesitated before answering, “I think ... I think I saw her ...”

Both Long Chen and the youth were shocked. “Where? Where did you see her? Tell me everything and I will give you ten King Crystals.”

Ten King Crystals were enough for him to be king in this place. The man looked at them with surprise until Long Chen slapped him. “I ... I saw the people from Fengyun Group chasing her. She doesn’t have any King Crystals, but the boss of the Fengyun Group wanted to take her as his wife.”

“Fengyun Group?” Long Chen frowned.

The youth at his side was angry. “The Fengyun Group was originally one of the larger factions in the Divine Martial Empire, similar to the Wind God Sect. They were a group of bandits that were rebellious and refused to yield to the Martial Alliance. All eight experts were imprisoned here, including their leader, who’s at the Third Earthly Martial Stage. I’ve heard of them in this place. They had a lot of King Crystals when they entered and they kept taking King Crystals from others. That’s why no one dares to fight against them. But they must die for trying to touch my sister.”

Long Chen nodded.

Time was of the essence, and they needed to act now.
