Dragon-Marked War God

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, shaken inside. This Heavenly Lightning had actually existed for hundreds of millions of years, which meant the Land of Heavenly Lightning had also been around for an extremely long time. The ancient formation here was extremely peculiar. Even Jiang Chen could not tell what was special about it. Now it seemed it must have been left behind in ancient times to seal this Heavenly Lightning. Otherwise, as terrifying as this Heavenly Lightning was, it would long ago have bolted like a wild horse that had thrown off its reins.

“In half a day, the Lightning Mother Seed will fully condense. Be careful, and you must not be reckless. There were once disciples of our clan who got impatient and lost their lives while seizing the Lightning Mother Seed. That is no legend.”

Ancestor Songzan said with a cold look, extremely gravely.

Jiang Chen looked around. Everyone nearby was on full alert. Trying to make a move now was all but impossible. It seemed this Songzan Kangying really had made thorough preparations to ensure nothing could go wrong. There would be no accidents at all.

At this moment, Yu Jingxian also glanced at Jiang Chen, a hint of a sigh in her eyes, and sent him a voice transmission:

“Jiang Chen, you mustn’t act rashly. Otherwise, with so many people here, you won’t escape even if you grow wings.”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and nodded. Yu Jingxian was worried that he would turn into a reckless brute and strike by force, which would surely make him one more set of bones buried in the Land of Heavenly Lightning. But Jiang Chen was not that impulsive. Without complete certainty, he would not make a move.

For now, Jiang Chen could only wait quietly and act when the chance came. He had already sensed Han Yan’s presence. He spread out his soul power. The soul of a Great Emperor Realm expert was far stronger than any of theirs. Jiang Chen found Louis Zhenyi and the others, but Louis Zhenyi did not notice Jiang Chen’s presence at all.

“Tell that prince of the Louis family that the four Louis Tianchen brothers were all killed by Songzan Kangying, together with Wu You, Zhu Qianyan and Jiang Minghao. All four of them are here. You know what to do, right, Ah Yan?”

Jiang Chen’s soul transmission arrived, and the corners of Han Yan’s mouth curled into a smile. What Jiang Chen meant was to let the dogs bite each other. Only then could they sit back and reap the benefits.

With Jiang Chen’s strength, there was naturally no way he could face these people head-on. Whether against the Forbidden Divine Clan or the Forbidden Demon Clan, he did not have the slightest chance of winning. So the only way was to make them kill each other, and the deaths of Louis Tianchen and the others were the perfect fuse. Once the fury of both sides was stirred up, the whole Land of Heavenly Lightning would become an excellent battlefield. By then, with Heavenly Lightning setting off earthly fire, neither side would back down or give an inch, and a true chaotic battle would inevitably begin.

Han Yan did not disappoint. Before he could even turn back to meet Leng Qianqian and the others, they had already hurried over.

“Found anything, Leng Mo?”

Louis Zhenyi glanced at Han Yan coolly.

“I have a major discovery. I don’t know whether I should say it or not.”

Han Yan said in a low voice.

Louis Zhenyi frowned deeply and said coldly:

“Aren’t you always known for being blunt and outspoken? If you have something to say, say it. Dithering like a woman. That’s not how the Forbidden Demon Clan should act.”

“I heard those people talking about Prince Tianchen’s death.”

That one sentence made Louis Zhenyi’s face turn dark as water. He stared at Han Yan and said:

“Go on.”

“Among these people are the murderers who killed Prince Tianchen and his three brothers. They are Songzan Kangying of the Tuying Clan, Wu You of the Tubo Clan, Zhu Qianyan of the Tuming Clan, and Jiang Minghao of the Tuwu Clan.”

Han Yan said word by word, his expression calm and composed.

“Did you hear all of it clearly?”

Louis Zhenyi went on asking, his eyes locked on Han Yan’s. Han Yan was not afraid in the least and did not waver.

“Absolutely true!”

“Good, good, good! Songzan Kangying, Forbidden Divine Clan, so it was you. It seems today we will fight to the death.”

Louis Zhenyi said through gritted teeth. The purple cloud cloak on his body fluttered without any wind, the golden crown on his head kept trembling, and the killing intent in his eyes was chilling.

“Even so, Third Prince, please don’t forget the guardians of the Land of Heavenly Lightning. Those two are both at the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. We don’t have any certainty of winning.”

Kang Ledi reminded him. At this time, he had suddenly become clever.

“As soon as the Lightning Mother Seed matures, if they want to pluck it, those two Mid Divine Emperor guardians will have to hold back the Heavenly Lightning and let the people of the Forbidden Divine Clan go take it. That will be the best moment to strike.”

Han Yan said in a deep voice.

“What do you mean? Are you trying to send me to my death? Even so, if those two Mid Divine Emperors suddenly turn their spears on us, won’t that be a dead end for us? Of course we must avenge Prince Tianchen and the others, but we also have to read the situation. We can’t rush in so lightly.”

Kang Ledi said, extremely dissatisfied, a cold light in his eyes sweeping over Han Yan.

“Those who fear everything never achieve anything great. Did we come here to be turtles hiding in our shells? Once those two guardians go to suppress the Heavenly Lightning, they definitely won’t be able to get away for quite a while. If we don’t strike then, the choice will only get harder and harder. The chance is right in front of us. Do you think we’ll have a more suitable chance if we want to act later? Besides, the Lightning Mother Seed is right here. I think the Third Prince is determined to have it too. As long as Songzan Kangying is killed, the Tuying Clan will be left without a leader, and the whole Forbidden Divine Clan will surely fall into great chaos. That should be exactly what the Demon Lord wants. As for the Lightning Mother Seed, that is probably just a bonus in his eyes.”

Han Yan said calmly, his expression clear as a mirror.

Louis Zhenyi’s eyes lit up. He could not help taking another look at Han Yan and nodded heavily:

“You really are Father Emperor’s most capable general. It’s not without reason that Father Emperor trusts you. A chance like this truly doesn’t come often. Opportunity knocks but once.”

“But—”

Kang Ledi still wanted to speak, but Louis Zhenyi cut him off with a wave of his hand.

“Leng Mo is right. This is our only chance. Get ready for battle. As soon as the two guardians of the Land of Heavenly Lightning go to suppress the Heavenly Lightning, that is when we strike. Tianchen, today your brother will definitely avenge you.”

Louis Zhenyi closed his eyes tightly, his expression icy. Han Yan, Leng Qianqian and even Kang Ledi all knew that revenge was certain, but what mattered most was to win merit at this time, so that in the future he would have the achievements and battle record to take charge of the Forbidden Demon Clan.

Naturally, Louis Zhenyi would not let a chance like this slip by.

Kang Ledi’s heart was pounding a little, but what Leng Mo said really did make sense, and he could not refute it. It seemed this battle of revenge was bound to happen!

Han Yan gave a cold laugh. This was only the beginning of the scheme!
