Dragon-Marked War God

Jiang Chen and Wude walked at the very back. The dozen or so people had already quickly gone deeper into the plaza. The boundless underground plaza now lay before everyone. The further they went, the narrower the plaza became, until in the end it was only twenty meters wide. Straight ahead stood a huge stone tablet, carved with eight large characters: “Great Emperor’s Traveling Palace. Trespassers Die!”

These things were only meant to scare people. For them, they had no deterrent effect at all. They had come here precisely to look for divine traces or treasures the Great Emperor had left behind.

Further ahead was a magnificent palace. It was a thousand meters long, with carved beams and painted pillars, very exquisite. There were also small pavilions and towers, and gurgling water flowed slowly. But this underground palace felt very desolate and cold.

In front of the palace stood five weapon racks, each holding a divine treasure. Even Jiang Chen’s brows tightened. These five divine treasures were covered in dust, but their terrifying power still made him feel strong fluctuations.

“They’re all Primal Origin Treasures! Incredible.”

Jiang Chen was shaken inside. The five divine treasures instantly caught everyone’s eye. Each of them was breathing heavily as they walked toward them step by step, unable to hide the gleam in their eyes.

Saber! Spear! Staff! Mace! Halberd!

The five divine treasures were arranged on the five weapon racks. Endless years had passed, and a layer of dust covered them, but it still could not hide the peerless, world-shaking edge with which they had once slaughtered.

“What terrifying might. These five divine treasures must have been the Five Directions Great Emperor’s collection back then. With divine weapons in hand, his strength could fight heaven itself. He truly deserved to be a Great Emperor. And these five divine treasures are just sitting here in this great hall like this.”

Jiahe Quanshan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. The covetous look in everyone’s eyes could not be erased. The reason none of them had made a move yet was that none of them had decided which one they wanted. Once someone moved, it would very likely turn into a mad scramble.

Even Jiang Chen was a little tempted, but he did not go near the five divine treasures right away. These were a Great Emperor’s things after all. How could they be so easy to take? Jiang Chen looked around and found no danger, but there was nothing unusual either. That was the strangest thing of all.

Earlier in the underground plaza, they had almost been trapped to death by that terrifying stone formation. Yet entering this great hall, there was not the slightest danger. It really set the imagination running.

Jiang Chen did not move. But he noticed that the incredibly greedy Wude had not moved either. He was right beside him, practically drooling as he looked at the five divine treasures, yet he did not waver in the slightest. His feet were as steady as Mount Tai, and he did not take a single step forward. This guy looked extremely greedy, yet greed had not devoured his heart.

“This divine spear is mine!”

Baichi Huayu rushed out. In the end, he was the first one to charge. At the same time, Jiahe Quanshan and Jiahe Dongliu of the Water Rhyme Sword Sect both moved, and Tantai Jingzang was not to be outdone either. Each of the four of them seized a divine treasure. A black shadow shot out as well and seized the last one, the divine staff!

Baichi Huayu got the divine spear as he wished. Jiahe Quanshan of the Water Rhyme Sword Sect got a divine saber, and Jiahe Dongliu got the divine halberd. And in the end, Tantai Jingzang actually got a wolf-fang mace.

“A wolf-fang mace, that’s good. Maybe I could use it myself. Hehehe.”

Wude gave a sly laugh, with a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth. The corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched. This stinking Daoist really made him see him in a new light. Someone who had left home for the Dao was actually this shameless. But on second thought, forget it. He did not even care about showing off so forcefully, so how would he care about this? He was forcing himself to show off, and only Jiang Chen knew the truth of the matter, but he had not exposed him. This guy really was one of a kind.

“It’s him!”

Jiahe Dongliu’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the man in black and said in a deep voice.

“Baili Changyang. It looks like the Qiyi Gate has arrived too.”

Baichi Huayu said calmly. The man in black was Baili Changyang, the supreme genius of the Qiyi Gate.

“If Changyang is here, Shengyang should have come too.”

Jiahe Quanshan narrowed his eyes.

“Hahaha, Brother Jiahe really does have sharp eyes. Too bad I came a step late. All the good stuff has been snatched away by you lot. My heart really itches.”

A burly big man came striding through the air. It was Baili Shengyang of the Qiyi Gate, Baili Changyang’s twin brother.

Baili Shengyang landed right in the center of the great hall. He looked down coldly and swept his gaze over Jiahe Dongliu and the others, seemingly full of covetousness, as if he might move at any moment to snatch the divine treasures from their hands.

“You came a step late, so who can you blame? But it looks like you don’t have much of a chance.”

Baichi Huayu shrugged and said. He reached out and gently wiped the dust off the divine spear, his eyes burning hot. This divine spear had an incomparable domineering air. It seemed tailor-made for him.

“That’s right. You can only blame yourself for being useless. Hahaha. This time I actually agree with this guy Baichi Huayu. Baili Shengyang, next time try to show up a little earlier at feeding time.”

Jiahe Dongliu said with a big laugh, looking at Baili Shengyang with contempt.

“Jiahe Dongliu, you’re courting death!”

Baili Shengyang’s eyes turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice, his killing intent pressing.

“So what if I am? Do you think this old man is afraid of you?”

Jiahe Dongliu did not care at all about the murderous look in Baili Shengyang’s eyes. Gripping the divine halberd, he seemed to have a peerless, domineering air. With a divine weapon in hand, what did he have to fear?

“Then I’ll grant your wish. That divine halberd of yours, I’m taking it!”

The gazes of Baili Shengyang and Jiahe Dongliu met and struck a string of sparks. At this moment, the fighting spirit of both of them burst out completely.

“Looks like there’s a good show to watch.”

Jiang Chen stood with his arms folded and said leisurely.

“Why didn’t you go and grab a divine weapon?”

Wude looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. Just now he had every chance to rush up and seize a divine treasure, yet he had let Baili Changyang get there first. Wude found this very surprising. Was the pull of divine treasures like that not enough for Jiang Chen?

“Then why didn’t you go?”

Jiang Chen asked back, narrowing his eyes and staring at Wude. The smile at the corner of his mouth grew brighter and brighter. Wude felt guilty inside, and his evasive look made Jiang Chen even more suspicious.

“Wasn’t I afraid they’d gang up on me? My strength is only at the Mid Hierarch Realm. I’m no match for them. As long as they grab those divine treasures, I can get something else. Others eat the meat, and I’ll just have a little soup.”

Wude said with a foolish laugh. But Jiang Chen did not think this guy was harmless to man or beast. One thing Jiang Chen had not expected, though, was that this Wude was only at the Mid Hierarch Realm. He had not sensed it at all. But there really were no very strong fluctuations of power from him either. He should have no reason to lie, right?

Just then, Baili Shengyang and Jiahe Dongliu had already begun a life-and-death battle. To fight over the divine treasure, the two of them were going all out at this moment! Divine treasures, the holy objects of a Great Emperor, belonged to those capable of holding them!
