Dragon-Marked War God

“Give me back my son… Give me back my son…”

From the abyss beneath the Immortal Island of Penglai came bursts of hoarse voices. Everyone on the Immortal Island of Penglai felt an inexplicable terror.

“Is it him? Is it really him?”

“It’s definitely him, the most ancient descendant of the Kouxiang Family.”

“The Venerable Lord of the Seven Boundaries, the Venerable Lord of the Seven Boundaries from nine million years ago, Kouxiang Zhenyi?”

“Benefactor, please leave quickly. The most ancient Venerable Lord of the Seven Boundaries of the Kouxiang Family is about to come out. You killed Kouxiang Gangmen and Kouxiang Daqu, and Kouxiang Zhenyi will never let you go. That guy’s strength had already reached the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm several million years ago. His strength now must have made a qualitative leap.”

All the surviving experts were full of awe toward Jiang Chen. Now that the legendary Venerable Lord of the Seven Boundaries, Kouxiang Zhenyi, had made a powerful return, he would surely look for Jiang Chen to avenge his descendants. There was no doubt about that. And no matter how strong Jiang Chen was, he hadn’t broken through to the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm, so the experts of Penglai Boundary were worried for him. After all, they could never repay Jiang Chen for what he had done for them. In their eyes, the Kouxiang Family had already lost the trust it once had. Kouxiang Gangmen and Kouxiang Daqu had both been foolish and tyrannical. As the lords of Penglai Boundary, they had made the people suffer a great deal. At the very end, Kouxiang Daqu had made everyone lose heart completely. At a time like this, who would still think about Penglai Boundary? They wished Kouxiang Zhenyi would be killed by Jiang Chen too. But after all, given Jiang Chen’s strength, it was impossible for him to contend with Kouxiang Zhenyi. That was why they repeatedly urged Jiang Chen to leave quickly, so as to avoid further complications.

“Thank you, everyone. I, Jiang Chen, will take my leave.”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice. He wasn’t afraid of this legendary Venerable Lord of the Seven Boundaries, Kouxiang Zhenyi, but he didn’t want any further complications either. After all, the most important thing right now was to help Wu Ningzhu’s soul recover.

Jiang Chen quickly left the Immortal Island of Penglai with Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng. He wasn’t afraid of the Venerable Lord of the Seven Boundaries, Kouxiang Zhenyi. He just wanted to properly heal Wu Ningzhu.

Tianlai Boundary, Yangguan City.

At this time, Tianlai Boundary was already in complete chaos. The most dangerous place was also the safest place. Having lost its boundary lord, Tianlai Boundary was a scene of warlords rising everywhere. Many Hierarch Realm experts were leading their own forces, wanting to take control of Tianlai Boundary.

At this moment, Jiang Chen chose a secluded mountain range near Yangguan City to prepare to heal Wu Ningzhu.

“I’ll guard you both. Little Chen, you must cure Sister Ning’s stubborn illness.”

Yan Qingcheng looked at Jiang Chen very seriously. Wu Ningzhu had been unhappy all this time. Although she forced a smile on the surface, Yan Qingcheng understood her helplessness as a woman. Not being able to stay with the one she loved forever would be the greatest regret.

Yan Qingcheng couldn’t bear to see Wu Ningzhu like this. She and Wu Ningzhu were as close as sisters, tightly bound together because of Jiang Chen, and it was impossible to separate them. Only by supporting each other could they become the strongest backing behind Jiang Chen.

“All right. Thank you for your trouble, Qingcheng.”

Jiang Chen held Yan Qingcheng’s hand. Only with them caring for him so attentively behind him could he go all out without any worries.

Inside the cave, Jiang Chen held the Jade Marrow Soul Seed in his hand, and wave after wave of extremely pure soul force began to spread throughout his whole body.

“So this is the Jade Marrow Soul Seed? I can already feel a huge soul force, as if it’s pulling at my soul power.”

Wu Ningzhu said in surprise.

“That’s right. Sister Ning, take the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill first. I’ll grind up the Jade Marrow Soul Seed right away and merge it into your body.”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

Wu Ningzhu nodded, parted her red lips, and gently swallowed the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill. An extremely strong soul power seemed to explode in her mind.

“Steady. Absorb the medicinal effect of the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill first!”

Jiang Chen held Wu Ningzhu tightly and comforted her carefully.

The Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill was a Peak Immortal Grade pill, and its medicinal effect was in a completely different league. It was even very different from the Nine Supreme Saint Bones Pill. After Wu Ningzhu swallowed the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill, a sharp, scorching heat appeared all over her body, and her face kept changing color, which made Jiang Chen extremely worried. But this was also normal. After all, the medicinal effect of the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill was very strong. Jiang Chen could feel that terrifying soul power nourishing the soul power within Wu Ningzhu’s body. Her originally withering soul had already begun to revive a little. At least the rate of withering had been stopped. Although the recovery was quite slow, it was having an effect after all.

Ten days passed quietly, and Wu Ningzhu’s soul had changed considerably. The withering of her soul had improved quite a bit. The effect of the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill was quite remarkable, but it was still only a drop in the bucket, because Wu Ningzhu’s soul had already been very weak before, and for some unknown reason it had kept withering, which had caused her soul to grow weaker and weaker.

The result was only average, but at least it had stabilized the decline of Wu Ningzhu’s withering soul for now, and that was already enough. Jiang Chen placed his last hope on the Jade Marrow Soul Seed. The Jade Marrow Soul Seed would definitely be able to restore most of Wu Ningzhu’s soul. At least for several thousand years, her life might not be in danger again.

“Next, let’s merge the Jade Marrow Soul Seed into your soul.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Wu Ningzhu. At this time, Wu Ningzhu was in a state of cultivation and might even break through to the Hierarch Realm at any moment. Her strength had originally been at the Peak Divine King Realm, so even if she broke through, it would be only natural.

Jiang Chen kept his eyes fixed ahead. With his hands curved like hooks, he slowly ground up the Jade Marrow Soul Seed. In his hands, the Jade Marrow Soul Seed gradually took on a state like water or glue. The dark green Jade Marrow Soul Seed was like a viscous liquid, constantly jumping around as if it had a soul of its own.

“This thing is a bit interesting. It couldn’t have its own soul, could it?”

Jiang Chen’s heart stirred, but he really didn’t sense the slightest fluctuation of life. Its tremendously strong soul force gave Jiang Chen great confidence in the Jade Marrow Soul Seed. It would definitely be able to help Sister Ning recover most of her soul power. Only then could she cultivate normally and always stay by his side.

The spirituality of the Jade Marrow Soul Seed was very strong. Although Wu Ningzhu was still cultivating, refining the medicinal power of the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill and gradually adapting to her current state, the Jade Marrow Soul Seed’s spiritual connection with Wu Ningzhu was very strong. Not only that, even the Jade Marrow Soul Seed itself seemed to want to merge with Wu Ningzhu’s soul. Its soul force was endless and full of vitality. The Jade Marrow Soul Seed and Wu Ningzhu were simply a perfect match.

The Jade Marrow Soul Seed was like a bouncing water bubble, like a little spirit made of dough, constantly changing into all sorts of shapes. Jiang Chen slowly merged the Jade Marrow Soul Seed into Wu Ningzhu’s mind. Wu Ningzhu shuddered all over and her expression changed. Her face looked more and more strained.

“Ah——”

At this very moment, Yan Qingcheng’s scream came from outside the cave. Jiang Chen’s face changed abruptly, and he rushed out quickly.
