Dragon-Marked War God

“The collapse of the Buddhist Realm was a huge blow to him. Whether he can rule the Western-pole Divine Land on his own is still unknown, but at least he has that wish and that hope.”

Jiang Chen sighed and said. In this world where the strong are respected, they were all just a drop in the ocean. Without reaching the realm of the truly strong, who dared to say they were unrivaled under heaven?

“It seems my situation is the simplest one. All of you have had such eventful journeys, hahaha. What I can least imagine is Big Yellow. How could that guy stay in the God Luo Clan all this time? Has he really changed his old nature? That mutt fears neither heaven nor earth. If he can really stay in the God Luo Clan, who knows what price he had to pay.”

Han Yan said with a laugh.

“Everyone has their own ambitions. Back then I also meant for Big Yellow to stay in the God Luo Clan, because the Divine World is just too cruel. Coming all this way, although my strength is pretty decent now, compared with the truly great powers I’m still far, far too weak. With that mutt’s personality, always afraid the world won’t be chaotic enough, he would turn everything upside down wherever he went. Cultivating in the Divine World would be a supreme danger for him. If he can cultivate in the God Luo Clan, then when the day comes that he has made something of himself, he will never settle for being ordinary. We’ve both reached Half-step Divine Emperor, and I think that guy won’t be far behind. Who knows, one of these days he’ll definitely come to the Central Region Divine Land to find us.”

Jiang Chen felt somewhat wistful. To say he did not miss Big Yellow would be nonsense. The two of them had come all this way depending on each other for their lives, and they had long been closer than real brothers. He had not seen Big Yellow even once in so many years, and Jiang Chen truly felt stifled. But for the sake of Big Yellow’s future, staying in the God Luo Clan was his best choice. He could pass through the hardest years of cultivation in safety, and when he came out of the God Luo Clan, he would surely astonish everyone.

“What about Xiao Yu and the others?”

Han Yan asked tentatively. Seeing the dejected look on Jiang Chen’s face, Han Yan knew he had said the wrong thing. Up to now, Jiang Chen probably still had no news of them.

“I’ve seen Qingcheng and Sister Ning, but neither of them is in a good situation. It’s all because I’m useless. I couldn’t protect either of them, and so far both of them are trapped. I came to the Central Region Divine Land for their sake. As for Xiao Yu, ever since entering the Divine World I haven’t seen her even once. All of you have ascended from the Nine Region Immortal World, so she definitely won’t fall behind. I just haven’t been able to find her. But I know she must be somewhere in the Divine World, waiting for me.”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Although he was still full of fighting spirit, Han Yan could feel the bitterness in Jiang Chen’s heart. He had no one to tell it to and no one to confide in, so he could only bear it silently by himself. Whether it was Sister Ning, Qingcheng or Xiao Yu, they were all dearest to Little Chen’s heart. Now not one of the three was by his side, so Jiang Chen’s loneliness could well be imagined. It went without saying that Jiang Chen valued loyalty and affection. Han Yan knew his heart must be full of guilt and self-reproach, but what could he do about it? For now, they could only cultivate desperately. Only by becoming strong enough would they have the ability to protect the family and brothers around them.

“Then who was that woman just now? That princess of the Azure Feather Clan doesn’t have some special relationship with you as well, does she? Otherwise, why would you hide your face? That isn’t like you at all. Haha.”

Han Yan gave Jiang Chen a meaningful look and said.

“Sigh, back when her family was in trouble, I once stepped in to save them. There is indeed a rather bittersweet past between the two of us. Let’s not talk about it, let’s not talk about it.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand, unwilling to say more, and Han Yan did not press him. After all, this matter had little to do with him. Even if it did, it would be the business of the Forbidden Demon Clan, and he had no wish to get mixed up in it. Moreover, he had even flirted with the princess of the Azure Feather Clan earlier, which made things feel rather awkward right now.

“Tell me about yourself. After you entered the Divine World, have you been here the whole time?”

“More or less. After I entered the Divine World, I landed in the Forbidden Divine Land. I kept hoping we would meet one day, and I never expected us to reunite here today. I can hardly believe it. After I entered the Forbidden Divine Land, I joined the Forbidden Demon Clan. The Forbidden Demon Clan and the Forbidden Divine Clan are the two great races of the Forbidden Divine Land. The Forbidden Demon Clan claims to be the ancient Demon Gods, and the Forbidden Divine Clan claims to be the descendants of the Divine Clan. The fighting between them has never stopped. As far as I know, their feud has a history of hundreds of millions of years. After I joined the Forbidden Demon Clan, my strength advanced by leaps and bounds. In just over a hundred years I reached the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm, so I counted as someone who stood out in the Forbidden Demon Clan. I was named one of the Thirteen Young Masters of the Forbidden Demon Clan, and Young Master Leng Mo is my title. Above that, only the true young lords of the Demon Clan can be called royalty. This time I was ordered to come and disrupt the marriage between the Forbidden Divine Clan and the Azure Feather Clan. If it weren’t for you, I would have killed the princess of the Azure Feather Clan for sure.”

Han Yan said with a smile. If it had not been for this sudden reunion with Jiang Chen, he would certainly have killed Yu Jingxian today. It was a coincidence, and perhaps it was fate.

“Oh right, Little Chen, how did you end up here?”

Han Yan took a big gulp of the cloudy wine and looked at Jiang Chen.

“I came looking for the Heavenly Lightning. You know the Rushing Thunder Mountains well, so you should know about the Heavenly Lightning, right?”

Jiang Chen said.

“The Heavenly Lightning? You mean the Heavenly Lightning guarded by the Forbidden Divine Clan?”

Han Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

“That’s right. There are two guardians there, and they’re not weak. Both of them are at the Divine Emperor Realm. I went there once, but I was forced back.”

Jiang Chen said solemnly.

“Those are the guardians of the Forbidden Divine Clan. They guard the Heavenly Lightning so that it can be put to their use. It’s said that every million years, that Heavenly Lightning condenses a Lightning Mother Seed. The medicinal effect of a Lightning Mother Seed is beyond even divine grade pills. It can bring the dead back to life and grow flesh on white bones. Most importantly, eating a Lightning Mother Seed lets you gain a trace of the Heavenly Lightning’s origin power and control lightning. Its terrifying lightning-attribute divine origin essence is also unmatched. It’s even called a supreme divine pill, and raising your cultivation goes without saying. Think about it, a Lightning Mother Seed condensed over a million years is the crystallization of countless years of Heavenly Lightning. And as for the Azure Feather Clan coming to the Forbidden Divine Clan for a marriage alliance this time, I suspect their real interest lies elsewhere. Their target is very likely the Lightning Mother Seed.”

Han Yan nodded and said. All of this was only his guess, but he felt it was already an indisputable fact. Otherwise, why would the Azure Feather Clan choose this exact moment to come to the Forbidden Divine Clan for a marriage alliance?
