Dragon-Marked War God

At the top of the tall keep, at the summit of a silver throne, a middle-aged man draped in a blood-red robe gazed at the clouds and winds beyond the castle. On his shoulder perched an eagle whose eyes were as sharp as knives. Even Hierarch Realm experts did not dare to meet its gaze.

Below the robed man stood more than ten people of formidable bearing, lined up on the left and right, both men and women. Every one of them had eyes like torches and was decisive and ruthless.

“Demon Emperor Lord, Leng Mo failed in his task, and in the end the people of the Azure Feather Clan still entered the territory of the Forbidden Divine Clan. I ask the Demon Emperor Lord to punish me.”

Han Yan knelt on one knee and said solemnly.

“With your strength, unless the other side had an extremely powerful Divine Emperor Realm expert make a move, ordinary Divine Emperor Realm experts are no match for you. This failure disappoints me a little. Leng Mo, this is not the strength you should have.”

The robed man sighed softly. He was the one and only lord of Philip Castle, Louis XVII, a super expert who carried enormous weight in this castle and in the Forbidden Demon Clan.

With just a light glance from him, Han Yan felt his whole body shudder. The Demon Emperor Lord’s strength was far, far too great, so great that he did not have the slightest urge to resist. Han Yan could not help wiping the sweat from his face, a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

“The enemy was truly too strong. Leng Mo failed in his task and is willing to bear all responsibility.”

Han Yan said in a low voice.

“Hehehe, it seems our Young Master Leng Mo is taking this very lightly. You think one ‘I failed in my task’ can solve the problem? You actually dare to fail at a task the Demon Emperor Lord gave you. Do you think that just because the Demon Emperor Lord favors you, you can be this presumptuous?”

A silver-haired young man said with a cold laugh, giving Han Yan a cold, contemptuous look.

“Leng Mo meant no such thing. I hope the Demon Emperor Lord will see clearly.”

Han Yan said coldly and glanced at the silver-haired young man without showing any emotion. This guy always went against him. At a time like this he would naturally not just sit back. If he had not kicked a man when he was down, that would have been what seemed strange.

“See clearly? Whether you did your best or not, you should know better than anyone. Hmph.”

The silver-haired young man said sarcastically.

“Gegege, maybe Brother Leng Mo had his own reasons this time. Kang Ledi, even if you want to get back at Brother Leng Mo, you don’t have to be in such a hurry, do you? Even the Demon Emperor Lord hasn’t said anything yet. What are you so anxious about?”

A beauty with long pink hair said with a smile. Her beautiful eyes flashed with electricity, full of a bewitching air, and her figure was extremely hot and explosive. Anyone who saw her once could never forget her. She was definitely the kind of beauty who could bring ruin to a nation. But there was an unusually eerie light in her eyes, as if they were full of strangeness and schemes.

“Leng Qianqian, don’t think I won’t dare to lay a hand on you!”

Kang Ledi said darkly.

“Enough, shut up, all of you. Do you still have Father in your eyes?”

A young man wearing a purple-gold crown shouted coldly, full of domineering spirit. As the Third Prince of Philip Castle, he had immense power and great strength. He was also one of Louis XVII’s proudest sons, the undefeated legend of the Forbidden Demon Clan, Louis Zhenyi!

After being scolded by Louis Zhenyi, everyone fell as silent as cicadas in winter and said nothing more.

“This matter is urgent. It concerns the war between the Forbidden Demon Clan and the Forbidden Divine Clan. The Azure Feather Clan must never be allowed to unite with the Forbidden Divine Clan. If that happens, the pressure on us will be even greater.”

Louis XVII thought for a moment and said calmly.

“Father, your son asks to take on this task. I will definitely fight the Azure Feather Clan on Father’s behalf.”

Louis Zhenyi said in a low voice.

“Good, then you will go. Leng Mo, you, Kang Ledi and Qianqian will go with him and make up for your failure. If you fail again this time, I will punish all four of you severely together. I want to see the Lightning Mother Seed!”

Louis XVII said in a deep voice. Everyone knelt on one knee. Han Yan could not help letting out a breath of relief and glanced at Leng Qianqian with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

“Yes, Father. Your son will certainly not let Father down! I will bring the Lightning Mother Seed back to the castle.”

Louis Zhenyi nodded firmly. As Louis XVII’s proudest son, Louis Zhenyi’s strength had already reached the Early Divine Emperor Realm, far beyond what ordinary people could compare with. Han Yan was quite shocked as well. The Demon Emperor Lord had actually sent Louis Zhenyi this time, which showed how much importance he attached to this alliance between the Forbidden Divine Clan and the Azure Feather Clan. The Lightning Mother Seed was only a symbol of what he wanted. What he really wanted to see was the Forbidden Divine Clan and the Azure Feather Clan turning on each other.

Han Yan’s heart grew heavy. If Jiang Chen wanted to get the Heavenly Lightning, it might now be even harder. This Louis Zhenyi’s strength might not even be weaker than that of the two guardians in the Rushing Thunder Mountains. Moreover, the purpose of Louis Zhenyi leading the three of them to intercept the Azure Feather Clan this time went without saying. It was to stir up discord between the two great clans, the Forbidden Divine Clan and the Azure Feather Clan.

Louis Zhenyi was formidable and looked down on all of them. He was extremely arrogant, but he had his eye on Leng Qianqian. Leng Qianqian, however, paid him no attention at all. The one she truly cared about was Han Yan. So Han Yan knew that if they traveled together this time, the unluckiest one would definitely be him. Louis Zhenyi had always found him an eyesore.

Outside the castle, Louis Zhenyi stood with his arms folded and said calmly,

“You only just got back today. Rest for a day and we set off tomorrow. Leng Mo, this time you’d better not disappoint Father again. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you.”

With that, Louis Zhenyi glanced at Leng Qianqian and then turned and left.

“Relying on a woman for everything, I don’t think you’ll get very far, hehehe. Leng Mo, be careful this time. Don’t end up losing both the lady and the soldiers, hahaha.”

Kang Ledi sneered and hurried after Louis Zhenyi.

“Leng Mo, don’t worry. No matter what, I’ll be by your side. With me here, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Leng Qianqian smiled faintly, swaying gracefully. Although she was still full of an eerie, soft and sinister air, only when facing Leng Mo did those clear eyes of hers show such an innocent side.

“I’m fine. Thank you, Qianqian. All these years, you’re the one who has always protected me.”

Han Yan said with a wry smile, a complicated look on his face.

“You should understand that I don’t mean anything else by it. I believe you’re stronger than anyone, because you have a strong heart.”

Leng Qianqian said, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. But Han Yan did not know what expression would be on Leng Qianqian’s face the moment he stood beside Jiang Chen. Was he deceiving her? Perhaps. But for the sake of his closest brother, Han Yan could only make the cruelest choice!
