Dragon-Marked War God

Han Yan’s expression was grave. Once he left this time, life and death would be uncertain. If Little Chen wanted to get that Heavenly Lightning, he would certainly need Han Yan’s full help. Otherwise, it would be as hard as climbing to heaven. When that time came, he would surely never return to the Forbidden Demon Clan again.

Han Yan could not help feeling wistful. After all, a place where he had stayed for more than a hundred years was not something he could casually cut himself off from. Besides, the person he liked was here too.

However, Han Yan did not dare to let himself get too caught up in romance. His character was too hard and unyielding, and what is too rigid breaks easily. He knew that right now his heart was set only on becoming a true powerhouse, and he had never given much thought to personal feelings. That was why he had always been lukewarm toward Leng Qianqian.

Gazing up at the dark night sky, Han Yan knew it was time for him to leave this place. But how things would end between him and the Forbidden Demon Clan was still unknown. His dreams and his sky were not here at all. What he had been waiting for was a stage on which to show himself. He had planned to enter the Central Region Divine Land after reaching the Divine Emperor Realm. Now that Little Chen had come, he could leave all the more easily.

“Little Chen, this time it all depends on whether you can win over your old flame. We’ll meet again in the Rushing Thunder Mountains.”

…………

At this moment, Jiang Chen had already followed Yu Jingxian, the princess of the Azure Feather Clan, straight into the Forbidden Divine Clan. Songzan Kangying, the Second Young Master of the Tuying Clan, received them personally. The entire Forbidden Divine Clan was full of laughter and cheer, bustling with excitement.

Jiang Chen followed behind Yu Jingxian, calm and composed, silently observing every move of the Forbidden Divine Clan. The Forbidden Divine Clan had experts as numerous as clouds. By Jiang Chen’s estimate, they were not the slightest bit inferior to some of the great sects of the Central Region Divine Land, and these people were all quite strong.

“Young Master Jiang, do you know much about the Forbidden Divine Clan?”

Yu Jingxian looked at Jiang Chen and asked.

“Not much. If the princess knows, you might as well tell me a thing or two.”

Jiang Chen said.

“The Forbidden Divine Clan is made up of four great races in total. The Tuying Clan is only one of them, but it is the strongest. The other three races can only barely contend with it, but the Forbidden Divine Clan as a whole is still led by the Tuying Clan. The Clan Leader of the Tuying Clan, Songzan Buladuo, is extremely strong. For tens of millions of years he has been the true leader of the Forbidden Divine Clan. But for some reason, lately there has been news that Clan Leader Songzan Buladuo has disappeared without a trace. Some say his cultivation deviated and he was possessed, and others say he has gone into a long seclusion. Right now the real power of the Tuying Clan is in the hands of the Eldest Young Master, Songzan Li’er. This Songzan Kangying who is welcoming us is the Second Young Master of the Tuying Clan of the Forbidden Divine Clan, and he is also extremely strong. To be honest with you, Young Master Jiang, you are my savior, so I have nothing to hide from you. Although I have come for a marriage alliance this time, I am really here to find out news of the Forbidden Divine Clan’s old Clan Leader, and most importantly, to get the Lightning Mother Seed. I hope that when the time comes, my benefactor will lend me a hand. Jingxian will be endlessly grateful.”

Yu Jingxian said to Jiang Chen through sound transmission, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Yu Jingxian told him the truth, and Jiang Chen understood even more clearly. She was trying to win his trust, so these words must have come from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that Yu Jingxian really had a big scheme in coming to the Forbidden Divine Clan this time.

“All right.”

Jiang Chen nodded silently. There was nothing more for him to say at this point. Besides, he knew who Yu Jingxian was, and he needed Yu Jingxian’s help to get into the land of the Heavenly Lightning. So naturally he had to go all out at this time, fan the flames, and do his utmost to help Yu Jingxian.

Just then, Songzan Kangying walked over with a smile on his face. He was dressed in fine clothes and his smile was warm and genial, but deep in his eyes there was a feeling of a dagger hidden behind a smile. He looked very amiable and elegant, but in Jiang Chen’s eyes he was not worth a second glance. When he faced Yu Jingxian, he was clearly struck by her beauty, and the burning heat deep in his eyes needed no explanation.

“I am Songzan Kangying, Second Prince of the Tuying Clan. Greetings, Princess of the Azure Feather Clan.”

Songzan Kangying nodded slightly, a smile on his lips. Behind him were ten men and ten women, very humble and composed, all of them there to welcome Yu Jingxian. Along the old road there were many clansmen as well, wearing garlands on their heads and beaming with smiles, welcoming the princess of the Azure Feather Clan.

“The Second Prince is very thoughtful. Jingxian is very grateful. I don’t deserve it, I truly don’t deserve it.”

Yu Jingxian smiled faintly.

“The princess is as beautiful as an immortal and graceful in every way. Truly the supreme heroine among women, someone to admire, to long for and to respect.”

Songzan Kangying kept praising Yu Jingxian. Jiang Chen could not help snorting with disdain. One look was enough to tell this guy was extremely hypocritical, though his skill at flattery was not small.

“Years ago, the old Clan Leader said that to forge a bond of marriage between the Tuying Clan and the Azure Feather Clan, this princess would be promised to a prince of the Tuying Clan, with the Lightning Mother Seed as the betrothal gift. Today this princess has come to get to know the prince, to prepare for our future together and avoid any awkwardness. I have also been entrusted by the Clan Leader of the Azure Feather Clan to come and receive the Lightning Mother Seed.”

Yu Jingxian said calmly.

Songzan Kangying’s face changed slightly, but his expression did not move. He smiled faintly and said, “Of course. It’s just that the Lightning Mother Seed has not yet matured. It is still in the Lightning Pool and cannot be taken out at all. Why doesn’t the princess stay with our Tuying Clan for a few days for now, and we’ll decide once my Eldest Brother returns from his travels? As for my father, he has already gone into death seclusion to attack the Late Divine Emperor Realm, and no one knows when he will wake. Right now all affairs, great and small, in the whole clan are handled by this prince with full authority. If the princess needs anything, just contact me. When my Eldest Brother returns, we will certainly discuss the matter of the betrothal gift together. My Tuying Clan will never treat the princess of the Azure Feather Clan unfairly. As for the Lightning Mother Seed, how could it compare to the princess? Even ten Lightning Mother Seeds could not be traded for a peerless, extraordinary woman like the princess, hahaha.”

Songzan Kangying’s words made Jiang Chen even more disdainful. This guy really had a sweet tongue. Someone who only knew how to play with words was never going to win Yu Jingxian’s trust.

Sure enough, it was just as Jiang Chen had thought. Yu Jingxian’s expression was cold, and she did not let her guard down in the slightest.

“Whether I or the Lightning Mother Seed is more important is not something the Second Prince should be discussing. I hope the Second Prince will conduct himself properly. We will decide after the Eldest Prince returns.”

At Yu Jingxian’s words, Songzan Kangying nodded silently, a sharp light in his eyes. He no longer dared to underestimate Yu Jingxian. This woman’s shrewdness made him grow serious as well. It seemed the princess the Azure Feather Clan had sent for this marriage alliance was no ordinary person.

“Haha, the princess must forgive me for making a fool of myself. This is a frontier land, a place of mountains and forests, and we don’t stand on ceremony. If I have offended in any way, I beg the princess to be magnanimous.”

Songzan Kangying said with a faint smile. The invisible clash between them made Songzan Kangying feel that this woman was not simple.
