Dragon-Marked War God

“Little Chen, you didn’t let me down after all! Hahaha!”

Jiang Zhenhai laughed loudly, his voice shaking the sky. With this great shout, he let everyone know that this was his, Jiang Zhenhai’s, son. That made him happier and more gratified than if he had soared above the Nine Heavens himself.

Zi Qingtian’s heart was filled with boundless joy. Fortunately he had come. If the Linhe Boundary had been wiped out, he probably would not have been left alive here either. Jiang Chen’s strength had made him see him in a whole new light. This guy was simply a super freak, so strong that one could not even sense how terrifying he was.

Jiang Chen landed from the void with a faint smile and knelt on one knee before his father, Jiang Zhenhai. No matter how powerful he was, in his father’s eyes he was only a child longing for family affection and warmth.

“Father, I’m late. I’ve let you be frightened.”

Jiang Zhenhai hurriedly helped Jiang Chen up, his eyes full of deep emotion, holding back his tears. Although he had enjoyed countless moments like this before, with all eyes upon them, every time this son brought him a different surprise and shock.

At this moment, he really had grown up. He had become strong enough to turn heaven and earth around and change fate.

“You’re back. The Profound Wind Sect is saved.”

Xuan Qingming said earnestly. His relief was no less than Jiang Zhenhai’s. In his heart, he regarded Jiang Chen as his own junior. Back then, as Jiang Chen walked out of the Profound Wind Sect step by step, Xuan Qingming had given him everything he could, hoping he would become strong. At this moment, his efforts and hopes had not been in vain. Even Yang Jian and Man Shuai had lived up to expectations and become stronger than he was.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly with a warm smile. He was still that spirited young man, still a member of the Profound Wind Sect.

Yang Jian and Man Shuai each gave Jiang Chen a big hug. Between brothers, no words were needed. Jiang Chen had shown them great kindness back then. Although they had both regarded Jiang Chen as a rival, now he had become so strong that they could only look up to him. The world changes, and in the end it is hard to predict.

“Jiang Chen, you surely don’t really mean to go up to the Zhongxing Sect, do you?”

Zi Qingtian looked at Jiang Chen doubtfully. Although his strength was formidable, the Zhongxing Sect was a famous sect of the Central Region Divine Land, matchless under heaven. How could Jiang Chen take on the whole Zhongxing Sect alone?

Jiang Chen nodded and said calmly,

“He killed countless people of my Linhe Boundary. I will definitely collect on this debt. Otherwise, how could I, Jiang Chen, stand in the Central Region Divine Land?”

Jiang Chen’s domineering air was beyond Zi Qingtian’s reach. He himself could no longer be treated as Jiang Chen’s equal. That kid Jiang Chen from back then had long since become a pillar holding up the sky, one that even he had to bow his head to.

“Father, look who I’ve brought for you.”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. Yan Qingcheng and Wu Ningzhu stepped out of the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda at this moment, instantly attracting the eyes of the whole Profound Wind Sect. Two peerless beauties: no one could say how much they shocked people. Even Zi Qingtian sighed. The strength of these two women was no less than that of Huang Qi, whom Jiang Chen had not even bothered to kill just now. It seemed he had still underestimated Jiang Chen.

“Father…”

Wu Ningzhu’s call made Jiang Zhenhai even less able to hold back his old tears. He took Jiang Chen’s and Wu Ningzhu’s hands, and Yan Qingcheng was no exception. The old man pressed the hands of all three together, his heart extremely gratified.

“Good, good, good! Good children. But it’s also time you gave your father a little surprise. Hahaha!”

Jiang Zhenhai said meaningfully, patting Jiang Chen on the shoulder. Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng both blushed. The implication was that Jiang Zhenhai wanted a grandson.

For a moment, even Xuan Qingming and Zi Qingtian could not help laughing.

For seven days, countless sects came to the Profound Wind Sect in an endless stream. The news spread across the entire Northern Cold Divine Region: the Zhongxing Sect of the Central Region Divine Land had come in force and been wiped out single-handedly by Jiang Chen; even the Zhongxing Sect’s peerless genius had been defeated at Jiang Chen’s hands. For a while, Jiang Chen’s fame spread across the whole Northern Cold Divine Region, unmatched by anyone.

“Report! People from the Profound Connection Divine Palace have come.”

A disciple came from outside the Profound Wind Sect to report.

Zi Qingtian’s face changed greatly. He looked at Jiang Chen with a serious face:

“Brother Jiang, the Palace Lord of the Profound Connection Divine Palace is no ordinary person. You once made a great uproar at the Profound Connection Divine Palace. If people from the Profound Connection Divine Palace have come now, they must have ill intentions.”

Seniority goes not to whoever started first but to whoever has gone furthest. Zi Qingtian calling Jiang Chen “Brother Jiang” was only natural.

“So what?”

Jiang Chen said dismissively.

“That’s right, Jiang Chen. How powerful the Profound Connection Divine Palace is. Are you really sure you can beat them?”

Xuan Qingming was also anxious. He was truly afraid that what had happened before would repeat itself. Even though Jiang Chen was here, he still could not help worrying.

“Second Palace Lord of the Profound Connection Divine Palace, Lin Youkang, has arrived!”

Zi Qingtian immediately stood up. Although Lin Youkang was not necessarily stronger than Jiang Chen, he was a mainstay of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. His coming here now surely boded no good.

“Lord Lin…”

When Zi Qingtian saw Lin Youkang arrive with ten Mid Hierarch elders behind him, his face grew even graver. This lineup was in no way weaker than those nine from the Zhongxing Sect before, because these ten Mid Hierarch experts were already standing right in front of them, making it hard to breathe.

“Greetings, Palace Lord.”

Lin Youkang bowed to Jiang Chen, and the ten Mid Hierarch elders did not dare to be slow either. One after another, they saluted Jiang Chen. At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Jiang Chen… had actually become the Palace Lord of the Profound Connection Divine Palace? How was this possible?

Zi Qingtian could not help seeing stars. This was too terrifying.

“Your news is quite out of date. Palace Lord Jiang became the Palace Lord of our Profound Connection Divine Palace long ago. The previous three Palace Lords were cruel and tyrannical and have been completely wiped out by Palace Lord Jiang. From now on, the Profound Connection Divine Palace has only one Palace Lord: Palace Lord Jiang.”

Lin Youkang said flatly, and Zi Qingtian instantly lost all his spirit. In front of Lin Youkang he did not dare overstep, let alone in front of Jiang Chen. His calling him “Brother Jiang” seemed somewhat presumptuous now.

Zi Qingtian smiled bitterly again and again. In front of Jiang Chen, he was truly a frog at the bottom of a well. Jiang Chen now looked down on all heroes; in the Northern Cold, he hardly had a rival.

As for Xuan Qingming, Yang Jian and the others, they were all amazed and sighed endlessly. Jiang Chen’s status was something they could not quite believe, but it was real. Even the Profound Connection Divine Palace had become his. Just how powerful was he now? It was almost too dazzling to look at.

Jiang Chen really was a true master who keeps his abilities hidden. Without anyone knowing, he had become the Palace Lord of the Profound Connection Divine Palace, one of the very strongest experts in the Northern Cold Divine Region.

At this moment, another call came from outside the gate hall—

“The Lord of Northern Cold has come to offer congratulations!”
