Dragon-Marked War God

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s heart was actually trembling. Wu Ningzhu held Jiang Chen’s palm tightly. As the person closest to Jiang Chen, she could naturally feel the change in Jiang Chen’s state of mind. Yue Er no longer being Yue Er was simply a bolt from the blue for Jiang Chen.

Yue Er held an extremely important place in Jiang Chen’s heart. Even he had not known he cared about Yue Er so much. The feelings between them were like family, like friendship. The moment Jiang Chen heard that Yue Er had entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will, he had nearly exploded in rage.

“Just what kind of place is the Gate of Heaven’s Will?”

“The Gate of Heaven’s Will is the trial ground of our Helian Family. Throughout the ages, those qualified to enter it have been few and far between. So for Yue Er, this is a supreme honor and a tremendous stroke of luck. You have no idea what this means to our Helian Family, or what it means to Yue Er. Yue Er may forget some things, but what she gains will be much, much more.”

The Great Elder said in a deep voice, meeting Jiang Chen head-on.

“Are you sure you really didn’t force her into the Gate of Heaven’s Will? I don’t believe she would willingly forget herself and become another person, a puppet for your family’s rise.”

How could Jiang Chen not know what the Helian Family intended? Obviously, Yue Er had now become a tool for their rise. That only one person in tens of millions of years was qualified to enter showed that this Gate of Heaven’s Will was definitely no good place.

“Her father also once entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will, but there has been no word of him since. So this is her destiny, and also her own wish and choice. No one can stop it. It’s just that she waited for you for so long and you never appeared, so in the end she didn’t even get to see you one last time. Perhaps you should blame yourself for that more.”

Every word the Great Elder said pierced the heart. Although Jiang Chen understood in his heart that this was no one’s fault, he and Yue Er had still failed to meet again at the last moment. All of it had become the most tragic farewell between the two of them.

Was it really all going to end like this? After Yue Er came out of the Gate of Heaven’s Will, would she really forget everything from before? Jiang Chen did not want to believe it, and even less did he want to guess. No one knew.

But Jiang Chen’s heart was still filled with self-reproach, because in the end he had been one step too late and had failed to see Yue Er one last time. But this outcome was something he did not want to accept. What exactly was the Gate of Heaven’s Will like? Why would it turn people into that? Jiang Chen had no way of knowing, but the guilt in his heart kept tearing at him, filling him with pain and despair.

“Yue Er, I’m sorry. Yue Er, Big Brother couldn’t see you one last time…”

Jiang Chen murmured. He did not know whether Yue Er would become what she herself liked, or perhaps she would become another her. In any case, she would have nothing to do with the her of before anymore. This damned Gate of Heaven’s Will filled Jiang Chen with fury. But after all, it was the Helian Family’s trial ground and surely a forbidden place. Forgetting yourself after going in and becoming another person was simply a nightmare. It was a road of self-destruction.

But for her father, for her family, Yue Er had still resolutely stepped onto it in the end. When had she ever lived for herself even once? Her life had been bitter since she was small, going through many hardships and dangers. And after growing up, she still had to live the way others wanted to see her. Jiang Chen felt heartbroken for Yue Er, his heart aching for her.

Wu Ningzhu felt it as if it were her own. The aura of sorrow coming from Jiang Chen affected her, affected Yan Qingcheng, and affected Wang Fengqi.

After a long while, Jiang Chen sighed. With an extremely desolate expression, he looked at the Great Elder again.

“Then when will she come out?”

Jiang Chen could not help asking.

“I don’t know.”

The Great Elder said bluntly. After entering the Gate of Heaven’s Will, it might be one day, it might be ten thousand years. No one knew what kind of existence the Gate of Heaven’s Will was, and no one knew what would happen after entering it, so he could not explain either.

“You don’t know. What a fine ‘I don’t know.’”

Jiang Chen smiled miserably. At this moment, he was actually left speechless!

“Then today, I’ll go to the Gate of Heaven’s Will and see for myself. Let’s see who dares to stop me!”

Jiang Chen swept away his earlier gloom, gave an angry shout, and rushed up beyond the nine heavens, unstoppable.

“Stop him! The Gate of Heaven’s Will is the forbidden ground of our Helian Family. We absolutely cannot let an outsider set foot in it. Otherwise, how can our Helian Family show its face to the world?”

The Great Elder said in a deep, thick voice. Everyone rushed forward, the five elders in the lead, blocking Jiang Chen’s way.

“No one can stop me.”

Jiang Chen shouted in a deep voice, holding the Heavenly Dragon Sword. Sword shadows shot out in all directions as he drew his sword against them. None of the Helian Family’s people had expected Jiang Chen to be so terrifying. His domineering aura filled heaven and earth. Jiang Chen, now like a raging bull, could not be stopped. Five Mid Divine Emperor experts did not dare to face his edge, which showed just how terrifying Jiang Chen was.

Jiang Chen’s sword shadows flew, slicing across the sky. He had only one goal, and that was to enter the Gate of Heaven’s Will and find the Helian Family’s forbidden ground. He had to go into this damned Gate of Heaven’s Will and see for himself. This was simply a trial ground that ruined people. Turning yourself into another person, living as another person, could never have been Yue Er’s original wish.

Jiang Chen was unstoppable. No one could take a single sword from him. Even with the five elders joining forces, they could hardly contend with him. At this moment, Jiang Chen was more than ten times stronger than before, because he had gone completely berserk. In his fury, his wrathful aura rushed up to the clouds of the nine heavens. His sky-piercing aura swept away everything before it.

“Quick! We absolutely can’t let him keep running wild. Suppress him at once!”

The Great Elder’s furious voice roared out, shaking the entire Wind God Valley. Even the Heaven-Praying Hall seemed to sway at this moment, as if about to fall.

If Jiang Chen really entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will, it would be a great disgrace to the Helian Family. And if he, an outsider, plundered the Helian Family’s treasures, how would he, the Great Elder, explain it to the whole Helian Family?

“You brat, stop your insolence! The land of the Helian Family is no place for others to run wild!”

An extremely low, deep voice spread across the sky. Every face showed a look of joy they could not hide. The Family Head, the leader of their Helian Family, had appeared! The Helian Family was finally saved. This extremely violent guy was surely about to be punished!

That voice was full of anger and domineering might. From the sky, a gray figure descended from the heavens and spread out over Jiang Chen’s head.

Jiang Chen’s voice was dark as he shouted coldly:

“Today, no one can stop me. Not even heaven!”
