Dragon-Marked War God

On Wuyi Mountain, the mountain flowers had all fallen, but the mountains remained forever. The cool breeze blew gently, but her heart had already sunk.

Helian Yue Er sighed, gazing at the layers upon layers of high mountains, helplessness and sorrow written all over her pretty face. She had waited for him for so long, so long, but there was still no sign at all of Big Brother coming. At that moment, Helian Yue Er was already somewhat in despair. For her father, for the Helian Family, she had no choice. She could only enter the Gate of Heaven’s Will.

The Gate of Heaven’s Will was an ancient legacy of the Helian Family since antiquity. To this day, those who had entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will had all been brilliant talents of the Helian Family, the kind seen once in a long age. For Helian Yue Er to have the chance to enter it was also a tremendous stroke of fortune for her. But once she entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will, all her memories would be erased. That is to say, she would become a completely new person, a person who would never again have memories of the past.

Father, Grandpa, Big Brother, all the people of the Helian Family, she would forget them all. At that moment, she would inherit the legacy memories of the Helian Family from the primordial era. By then, Helian Yue Er knew, she would no longer be herself.

In life, there were bound to be many choices. To gain something, one had to lose something. Helian Yue Er had never hoped to have peerless skills under heaven. She had never sought to become the true leader between heaven and earth. She only wanted to be with the people she cared about, for a long, long time. That was enough.

But human strength had its limits. She could not change the current situation. She could not make the Helian Family one of the few top family powers in the entire Eastern Victorious Divine Land, and she could not get news of her father. Only by entering the Gate of Heaven’s Will could any of this change. The Gate of Heaven’s Will was her only chance, and also the hope of the entire Helian Family.

Helian Yue Er turned and left, preparing to go up to the Heaven-Praying Hall.

In the Heaven-Praying Hall, the five elders all looked at Helian Yue Er with grave eyes. In each of their eyes was a look of joy full of meaning, because they had finally waited for this day. Although the Family Head had not yet woken from seclusion, Helian Yue Er was fully prepared to enter the Gate of Heaven’s Will. For the entire Helian Family, this was tremendous good news.

“It’s good that you’ve made your decision. Yue Er, I believe you will definitely become the strongest genius of our Helian Family in a million years, bar none. You will surely surpass your father.”

The Great Elder, Helian Changtian, said in a deep voice, looking at Helian Yue Er. At this moment, she had become the hope and darling of the whole Helian Family.

“That Yue Er has chosen to enter the Gate of Heaven’s Will at a time like this truly shows she understands the greater good. Hahaha! By then, even if the Dongfang Family and the Ximen Family come knocking, it won’t do any good.”

“That’s right. This time Yue Er can kill two birds with one stone. It will put off the problem of them coming after the Helian Family, and it will lead our Helian Family to glory. It’s truly something to celebrate.”

“Yue Er, the day you return in triumph this time will surely be the day the Helian Family soars above the nine heavens. We’re proud of you.”

The elders were all very excited, nodding again and again as they looked at Helian Yue Er, as if they were looking at their own granddaughter.

“Great Elder, I only want to know the news about my father.”

Helian Yue Er said with a grave expression.

“Sigh. Things have come to this, so I can’t hide it from you any longer. Your father disappeared inside the Gate of Heaven’s Will. Although he left behind a wisp of divine thought, after that he vanished completely. And for so many years, no one has been able to enter the Gate of Heaven’s Will. Even our successive Family Heads could not hope to.”

“This time, when you enter the Gate of Heaven’s Will, you carry not only the glory of reviving the Helian Family but also the important task of finding news of your father. You must be extra careful.”

The Great Elder said with great concern. He too was worried that Helian Yue Er would, like her father, disappear completely in the Gate of Heaven’s Will with no word ever again, and that the Helian Family would then be attacked from front and rear and never recover.

It was only by relying on probing the secrets of heaven that the Helian Family could hold a place among the ten great families of the Eastern Victorious Divine Land, and even then only at the bottom. If they could not probe the secrets of heaven, they would fall even further behind. Even many families and sects that had risen later would be able to stand on their heads and take a dump. So although they were an old-established power of the Eastern Victorious Divine Land, they existed in name only. If not for their very special nature, perhaps they would have long been spat upon.

“I hope you didn’t lie to me, Great Elder.”

Helian Yue Er nodded, turned and left, heading straight for the Heaven’s Will Mountains. The Gate of Heaven’s Will was there.

Helian Yue Er’s figure had only just disappeared into the sky when Helian Rong Er appeared at the Heaven-Praying Hall in a great hurry, her face full of urgency.

“Aunt Yue, Aunt Yue! Wait for me!”

Helian Rong Er cried out, but she was stopped by the Third Elder and the others.

“Rong Er, what’s got you in such a rush? What on earth happened?”

The Third Elder asked.

“I have to hurry and find Aunt Yue to help. When I was out wandering, I ran into Dongfang Lianyi of the Dongfang Family. He tried to violate me, and in the end a white-haired young man stepped in and killed him. Later, Dongfang Lianshuo appeared and almost killed the two of us. And then the white-haired young man’s master came out. I’m afraid the two of them might not be a match for Dongfang Lianshuo. We have to hurry and save them. I have to find Aunt Yue.”

Helian Rong Er said with extreme anxiety.

“No need. Whether what you say is true or false, there’s no need to go.”

The Great Elder said in a deep voice.

“Why? That man ended up in danger to save me. Shouldn’t we go save him?”

Helian Rong Er said stubbornly.

The elders all sneered, and the Great Elder shook his head helplessly. Never mind that the Dongfang Family’s strength was absolutely not something they could afford to provoke. Once Dongfang Lianshuo was truly enraged, their situation would be very dangerous. More importantly, Dongfang Lianyi was already dead, and he was Dongfang Lianshuo’s little brother. And the cause of this matter was Helian Rong Er. Although she had been saved, the one who killed Dongfang Lianyi could not escape disaster.

At this moment, they could not possibly let Helian Rong Er go back. That would be a disgrace to them and might even put the Helian Family in danger. Once they fought Dongfang Lianshuo, it would be the same as declaring war on the Dongfang Family. They absolutely would not allow such a price. Any unfavorable factor at all, they would nip it in the bud.

Besides, Helian Yue Er was about to enter the Gate of Heaven’s Will. How could they let Helian Rong Er’s arrival create new complications?

“You’ve come back safely now. Stop making a scene. The Dongfang Family is not to be trifled with. Since the two people you speak of have offended the Dongfang Family, they should be prepared to die. Our Helian Family absolutely will not go to war with the Dongfang Family over those two.”

The Great Elder said sternly, as if in the name of righteousness.

Helian Rong Er trembled all over. She had never thought the Great Elder and the others would be so heartless and unfeeling.
