Dragon War God

Chapter 84 - Wait

The Divine Gale Peng flew extremely quickly. It took them only half a day to arrive near Yanluo Town even though the distance between the two places was further than the distance between Lingwu City and Baiyang Town. Long Chen had taken more than ten days to get to Lingwu City.

The killing intent between Long Chen and Huang Feiyang increased massively while they were traveling.

Huang Feiyang is not doing anything yet. Looks like he wants to cause me trouble during the mission.

Before they made their way to the town, Huang Feiyang left the Divine Gale Peng at one of the smaller villages. The people there were already waiting for them. Afterwards, the trio set off towards the nearby Yanluo Town.

It was at this point that Long Chen realized why Huang Feiyang hadn’t done anything suspicious on the Divine Gale Peng. Someone was waiting for them when they landed. Such a huge beast could easily frighten people, so it was not appropriate for it to land near Yanluo Town.

Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya walked in front after leaving the village.

What are the two of them scheming?

Long Chen calmly followed them.

Although the mission was unexpected, he had just given Ling Xi the Soul Nourishing Fruit, so at least he had one trick up his sleeve.

If he couldn’t fight against them, Ling Xi could. Long Chen had discussed with her and they had agreed that she would only intervene if there was unavoidable danger. Even then, she was not allowed to risk her life under any circumstances.

Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya walked in the front cheerfully.

Sensing how calm his partner was, Wen Ya whispered, “When will you act?”

Huang Feiyang chuckled. “No need to rush. If Yan Beitian saw only the two of us, he would know that I got rid of Long Chen. Even if he were too afraid to report it, the family would be able to verify it easily.”

“Then when will you do it?”

Huang Feiyang was relaxed. “Our mission involves investigation and maybe even disposal. Since we know they have an expert at the Human Core Realm or above, we can just send Long Chen to them directly.”

Wen Ya nodded. “It’s good that your thoughts are not clouded by revenge.”

Long Chen clenched his fist from the immense pressure Huang Feiyang was giving him.

I’m so close to the Ninth Draconic Stage! As long as I break through, I can instantly step foot into the Human Core Realm. If I can accomplish that, Ling Xi won't have to risk her life for me and I will be able to fight back! This is the key to my survival!

They soon approached Yanluo Town. Long Chen didn’t know what would happen, but he knew he could not lose. The moment he did, everyone he cared for would die! The safety of Ling Xi and his family in Baiyang Town were his top priorities!

They entered the town quietly, the same way Mo Xiaolang had entered Baiyang Town previously. No one paid them any attention.

Long Chen felt relaxed when he once again found himself in a place similar to Baiyang Town. They soon arrived at the mayor’s estate. The family was almost as large as the Yang family. The patriarch's name was Yan Beitian, a Ninth Draconic Stage cultivator.

Yan Beitian had been waiting for them ever since he received the news. When he saw the three powerful youths approaching, he was ecstatic and immediately kneeled on the ground. “I am Yan Beitian! I welcome the people from the Lingwu family.”

Long Chen silently inspected Yan Beitian. He was an older man, but his body was bulging with muscles, his tanned skin making him look like a black bear.

But he was crying, most likely due to the disappearance of his daughter.

When Long Chen was inspecting him, Yan Beitian was doing the same. He was in awe when he saw that Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya were at a higher cultivation level than himself. But when he saw Long Chen, he realized Long Chen was still young and his cultivation was nothing to brag about. Yan Beitian naturally ignored him, thinking he was Huang Feiyang’s or Wen Ya’s assistant.

“Please, come inside and sit down. It’s our pleasure to host the great people of the Lingwu family.”

Long Chen and the rest entered the hall with Yan Beitian’s invitation. Yan Beitian immediately ordered the servants to prepare tea and snacks for the esteemed guests. He took extra special care of Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya.

“Both of you, please try Yanluo’s town's infamous white jade cake. It’s as pretty as white jade, mildly sweet, and melts in your mouth!”

Huang Feiyang smiled and took a bite. He enjoyed it a lot and praised how delicious it was. “Mayor Yan, we are not here to eat. Let’s talk business.”

“Yes, of course!”

Yan Beitian was agitated when they finally got down to the issue at hand. He clenched his fists, his veins popping when he thought about those bastards.

“It’s been happening for a few days now. Those bastards have appeared in the town every night and kidnapped all the women who were still outside. They were very elusive, but as more and more women disappeared, we established a strike team and ambushed them. It was only then that we found out what had happened!”

Huang Feiyang frowned. “You wrote in the letter that there’s an expert at the Human Core Realm?”

Yan Beitian nodded. “Yeah! That bastard was too strong for us to beat even though both my father and I faced him together! How could he be below the Human Core Realm? Even my daughter was taken away!”

“Do they have any identifiers?”

Yan Beitian thought about it. “They don’t look that different from normal people, but I recall that each of them had a red dot on their forehead!”

Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya didn’t realize what it meant, but Long Chen was shocked.

“Are they from the Blood Saints?” Ling Xi whispered.

“Should be. Liu Lan probably assigned me this mission because of my connection to the Blood Saints. If possible, I would like to obtain as much information about them as possible! But Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya are here and will definitely cause me trouble ...”

“I thought it sounded familiar when I heard that women were being kidnapped. I think it’s the same as what happened at the Jade Palace Brothel. Those bastards! Long Chen, what should we do?”

Long Chen smiled. “This is an issue between Huang Feiyang and them. I will just let these two get hurt in the process.”

Meanwhile, Huang Feiyang and Yan Beitian discussed how to capture the Blood Saints.

“They’ve captured quite a lot of people in the past few days. I think they are going to leave the area soon. I know they have a stronghold somewhere in Yandong Mountain, but I have no idea about their specific location!”

Yan Beitian was so angry that his face turned purple whenever he thought about his poor daughter.

“Long Chen, I’m worried about his daughter too. You must help him!”

“I know, and I want to destroy the Blood Saints. But we will use Huang Feiyang to fight against them. Since Huang Feiyang wants to kill me, it’s best we wait to see what his next move is!”

Long Chen glanced at Huang Feiyang.

Yan Beitian was so busy talking with Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya that he completely ignored Long Chen.

“Yandong Mountain?”

“The mountain itself is not big, but it’s difficult to find just a group of people.”

Huang Feiyang frowned. “If they aren’t here, then we will go to the mountain. We have a much higher chance to find them there!”

Yan Beitian was very grateful. “Then let’s head up the mountain now?”

“No need to rush.” Huang Feiyang chuckled. “Yan Beitian, I heard you obtained a Black-tier beast corpse?”

Long Chen immediately paid attention. Even though time was short, Huang Feiyang was more concerned with the Black-tier beast corpse.

A Black-tier beast corpse. If it’s fresh, then I could benefit from the blood essence! I would enter the Ninth Draconic Stage and then I can immediately step into the Human Core Realm with the help of the Ascension Fruit ...

This made him excited. He started thinking about how to obtain the corpse!

Yan Beitian replied, “Is the beast corpse enough payment for my daughter’s life?”

It was naturally expensive to request aid from the Lingwu family. Usually, one would present the Lingwu family with a reward after the completion of the mission. Since Yan Beitian cared for his daughter's life, he had stated in the letter that he would give them a Black-tier beast corpse as an additional reward. Both Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya knew about it.

This was their additional reward for the mission.

They would do their best for the mission for the sake of the corpse. But for Huang Feiyang, killing Long Chen was the highest priority.

Yan Beitian had noted that the beast had died recently, so its soul and demonic core were still present. Even though it was only a Category One Black-tier beast, it was still very valuable.

Huang Feiyang chuckled. “Of course it’s enough. Give us the corpse now and we will ascend the mountain immediately. If we fail the mission, we will return the corpse to you.”

Yan Beitian felt that it was inappropriate to hand them the corpse now, but his daughter’s life was at stake. He had no choice and nodded. “Alright.”

Yan Beitian was about to retrieve the beast corpse when Long Chen stopped him.

“Wait.”
