Dragon-Marked War God

For an expert who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, Yu Chenglong’s defeat was as good as being killed. It was even more painful for him than being killed. Now he had become somewhat deranged, completely losing his former grandeur, which made people sigh.

But no one dared to point fingers at what Jiang Chen had done. Even Lin Youkang and the Great Elder merely lowered their heads in silence, not daring to raise the slightest objection, because if Jiang Chen wanted to kill them now, it would be as easy as taking something out of his pocket.

Jiang Chen was like a God Emperor of the nine heavens, looking down on all living beings and watching with cold eyes.

“Donghuang, Zi Xi, after I leave, what do you plan to do?”

Jiang Chen looked at Donghuang Tai’a and the others. Everyone looked at one another, because they absolutely could not stay here. Otherwise, if the Palace Lord really returned one day, or if the Great Elder and the others wanted to make a move on them, they would be helpless, left at the mercy of others.

Because they had countless ties to Jiang Chen, once Jiang Chen left, they would most likely become scapegoats. Everyone understood that.

“The Northern Cold Divine Region doesn’t have just one divine palace. We plan to go try our luck at another divine palace. After all, with our current strength at the Divine King Realm, the world is big and there are plenty of places we can go.”

Donghuang Tai’a said after a moment of silence. This was their only choice. At the very least, there was absolutely no way they could keep staying here.

“That’s right. If this place won’t keep me, there’s always somewhere that will. Hahaha.”

Mo Kehan said with a laugh. They didn’t hesitate at all. Some twenty-odd people all stood together on their side. Many of them had received Jiang Chen’s kindness and had very close ties with him. At this time they had to choose to leave. If the people of the Profound Connection Divine Palace caught hold of something against them and wanted to make a move, things would get troublesome.

“The closest one from here should be the Heaven Connection Divine Palace. I’ve been wanting to go take a look for a long time.”

Gu Maolu said with a smile as well. He hadn’t been wrong to make a friend of Jiang Chen. Although he could no longer hope to catch up with him, they had once fought side by side after all.

“Everyone, if fate allows, we’ll meet again. I, Jiang Chen, still have important matters to attend to, so I’ll bid you farewell here.”

With that, Jiang Chen turned and left, turning into a streak of light and disappearing over the horizon.

Donghuang Taiji, Donghuang Tai’a, Murong Yun’er, Lu Dong, Mo Kehan, Zi Xi, Gu Maolu, Bai Ying and others, more than twenty people, all of whom came from the same place as Jiang Chen, left the Profound Connection Divine Palace just like that. The world was vast, and there would always be a place for them. A group of Divine King Realm experts would not be buried by the great tides of the Divine World.

Yu Chenglong slowly raised his head and looked gloomily in the direction Jiang Chen had gone. His aura was completely gone, leaving only a crippled body. He would remember today’s humiliation for the rest of his life.

The Great Elder glanced at Lin Youkang and said in a low voice:

“The Profound Connection Divine Palace has suffered such a heavy blow. It seems we have no choice but to make some hard decisions.”

“Yes. No one can stay out of this. Jiang Chen’s battle has nearly crippled our Profound Connection Divine Palace completely. Two Palace Lords have fallen one after another, and only the Palace Lord is left now. Who knows when the Palace Lord will be able to return.”

Lin Youkang said in a deep voice.

“The day the Palace Lord returns will be the day our Profound Connection Divine Palace takes its revenge.”

The Great Elder’s gaze was cold. Although Jiang Chen had spared them, they would not easily forget the great hatred of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. It was just that with their strength, defying the heavens and changing fate was impossible. Now they could only place all their hopes on the Palace Lord.

Bai Yun silently gazed toward the east, in the direction of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Her heart was filled with a sense of unease, as though something no one knew of was hidden in her heart.

“Brother Thirteen, I’m sorry… it’s all my fault, all my fault…”

Bai Yun squatted on the ground, crying quietly. But she knew very well that Dragon Shisan was completely angry with her, and had even broken off with her. After going to all that trouble to take Dragon Shisan away, she had received nothing but hostility from him. Although she had only wanted to save Dragon Shisan, in Dragon Shisan’s eyes, Bai Yun had disappointed him far too much.

Bai Yun knew that with Dragon Shisan going back, he was far more likely to die than to live. They had all seen the strength of the Profound Connection Divine Palace with their own eyes. If Jiang Chen hadn’t saved them at the last moment at the cost of his life, the situation might have been even more dangerous.

Jiang Chen had given up his life for a just cause, while he himself was suppressed by four Half-step Divine Emperors. That scene had been incredibly tragic and incredibly perilous. And Dragon Shisan’s final choice was no different from seeking his own death.

“Sister Ning, what should we do? Little Chen, he…”

Yan Qingcheng murmured. When the words reached her lips, she completely lost control of her emotions. The sadness and heartache were plain to see.

“I don’t believe our man is gone just like that.”

Wu Ningzhu gazed intently in the direction of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. She didn’t believe that she and Jiang Chen had only just met again, only to suffer such a heavy blow. She was willing to die for him, but she was not willing to see him lose his life for her. People were all selfish, and Wu Ningzhu wanted to keep Jiang Chen by her side forever and ever.

Although Wu Ningzhu knew she didn’t have long left in this world, she could not stop longing for Jiang Chen.

Yan Qingcheng followed Wu Ningzhu’s gaze. Jiang Chen’s aura had vanished without a trace, and Dragon Shisan had gone and not returned. Was this their end? That peerless genius who had once commanded the Nine Region Immortal World, would he really fall just like this?

Qian Renji had already left. She was going to Lone Dragon County, to Qilian Boundary, to find Zi Qingtian. She was powerless in all of this and could only leave quietly. The people of the Soul-Leaving Sect had left as well. Having learned that Jiang Chen hadn’t left any life-and-death mark on them, their hearts were filled with gratitude and with a longing to live.

Xue Liang and Bing Yun looked at each other. Xue Liang didn’t believe Jiang Chen would fall like this either. Just as he turned around, Bing Yun grabbed his hand tightly.

“Don’t go. If you leave, how am I supposed to live on alone?”

Bing Yun bit her red lips tightly, and Xue Liang had no choice but to stop. He wanted to go to the Profound Connection Divine Palace to look for Jiang Chen, but how could Bing Yun let go? That deeply affectionate plea instantly melted Xue Liang’s heart.

“Sigh.”

Xue Liang sighed. At this moment, he knew he couldn’t abandon Bing Yun and leave regardless of everything. If he were alone, he would definitely go to the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Even if it was just to collect Jiang Chen’s body, he would definitely go.

“Jiang Chen, if you die, I absolutely won’t live on alone!”

Wu Ningzhu closed her eyes tightly, her heart almost desolate.

“In this whole world, the one who can make me, Jiang Chen, bow down and submit hasn’t been born yet.”

A burst of loud laughter rang out in the void. Everyone raised their heads and looked toward that familiar figure. Their hearts felt as if they had been struck by a tremendous blow. The Jiang Chen they had been yearning for had finally come back, and he had broken free of his predicament. It was almost unbelievable.
