Dragon War God

Chapter 155 - Nine Devil Mountains!

Long Chen never expected to be slighted like this.

He knew that the inner qualifiers should start at noon, and so they had set off early in the morning. There was still a long time till noon, yet the Grand Elder and Chu Yunxi had already left. What did that mean?

It meant they didn’t take Liu Yuan and Long Chen seriously at all.

It meant they were mocking Long Chen.

In the face of such contempt, Long Chen was so furious that he started laughing.

Liu Yuan was also privately irritated. Although that was the Grand Elder, he was a Sect Elder himself. If news of this humiliating incident spread, Liu Yuan would completely lose face.

His face turned a stony green. He hadn’t stopped Long Chen when he cursed, and instead was privately smug. The rage within him lessened when Long Chen cursed them.

Long Chen was the first person who dared to call Chu Tianxiong a son of a bitch.

When the two guards heard him, their faces reddened and they scolded sternly, “You brat! How dare you insult the Grand Elder! Insubordination is a crime punishable by death! Lock him up, and we’ll let the Grand Elder deal with him when he’s back!”

Then they started to charge at Long Chen!

“You’re all mere Initial Earthly Core Realm guard dogs, and yet you dare touch me?”

Long Chen snickered, then he charged at them too!

Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were a little shocked when the guards started to attack.

Long Chen was going to participate in the inner family qualifiers, so he should not sustain any injuries because of these mere guard dogs! They were about to stop the guards, but Long Chen rushed past them!

“That brat’s looking for death!”

The guards raged when they saw that Long Chen charging faster than themselves, which was the opposite of what they wanted him to do. A guard unleashed a punch furiously. A punch from an Earthly Core Realm cultivator was no ordinary punch. Two consecutive punches were unleashed, and they cut off the path behind Long Chen, preventing him from retreating!

“I heard this brat’s only at the Human Core Realm! He deserves to die if he thinks he can participate in the inner family qualifiers at his level! If we can defeat him here today, we will be greatly rewarded!”

The two guards charged with all their might!

“You want to kill me?” Long Chen smirked, raised a hand, and then whoosh! He turned into an illusion as he ran.

“What? How is he so fast?”

Shock was written all over their faces. They could not pinpoint his location due to his speed.

Then two slaps fell on their cheeks, and they cried out in pain, blood flowing between their teeth as they flew into the air. They both crashed into the ground, screaming in agony!

Long Chen did not stop there. He rushed forward and kicked both their faces. On top of the bloody handprint on their cheeks, there was now a gigantic footprint!

Their faces were completely disfigured after Long Chen’s brutal attacks. At this point, they had no strength to even fight back. Their faces were bloody and all they could do was scream in pain, rolling on the ground as they regretted their actions a thousand times over!

Long Chen isn’t the weakling they said he was! Good God, he’s so violent! We’re both done for!

As they howled in pain, they had already cursed the people who relayed the inaccurate information a thousand times!

“Long Chen ... You?”

Liu Yuan was surprised when he saw Long Chen attack and successfully teach them a lesson. These two were masters at the Earthly Core Realm. Although they were working as guards because they didn’t have much potential, they were still at a higher cultivation level than Long Chen.

Liu Yuan was astonished at the fact that Long Chen could defeat them so easily.

On the other hand, Liu Lan also saw the easy win and was now staring in shock. It looks like he actually was cultivating hard for the past few days, and he made some improvements.

But they were both disapproving when Long Chen made his second attack to incapacitate the guards. Those two were still the Grand Elder’s subordinates, so his violent behavior was out of line!

“Long Chen, that’s enough,” said Liu Lan mildly.

Long Chen kicked them away one last time, then said loudly, “You two guard dogs! Don’t you forget your place! No matter where you are, you’re just dogs guarding the door! Standing before you is the Sect Elder of the Turquoise Sun Hall; how dare you disrespect him? I have taught you a lesson on the Sect Elder’s behalf so you will remember this clearly. Don’t do it again!”

Long Chen’s declaration that he was acting under the Sect Elder also meant he had completely pushed away the responsibility of beating them up.

He felt much more at ease after taking his frustration out on them.

When he turned to Liu Yuan and Liu Lan, he realized that they were looking at him with some exasperation. “Long Chen, you were too brash ...”

Liu Yuan was about to lecture Long Chen and apologize to the two guards, but Long Chen cut him off and said, “Sect Elder, they’ve left already. I’ll leave the decision to you, but we can’t just not go, can we?”

This was the most important question. Liu Yuan’s attention was directed at Long Chen and he was momentarily led away from the topic of Long Chen beating up the guards. His brows were knitted as he said, “The Grand Elder has indeed overstepped the line a little. Long Chen, even so, you are the pride of the Turquoise Sun Hall. We obtained the right to the qualifiers with great difficulty, so how can we not go? I know where the Nine Devil Mountains are. We’ll go back to Turquoise Sun Hall and take the Divine Gale Peng to the Nine Devil Mountains now!

“If that’s the case, we can’t waste any more time. Let’s head back right now!”

To be honest, Long Chen was also very upset to have been toyed with. He smirked to himself. How dare you toy with me like this! It doesn’t matter who you are, I’ll make you pay!

They’d just been left behind by the Grand Elder because they were late. If news of this spread within the Turquoise family, he would be seen as a joke.

Now that the decision had been made to go back, the three of them wasted no time on chit-chat. Liu Yuan was still worried because Long Chen had injured the Grand Elder’s subordinates, but this was an urgent matter and time was running out. “Long Chen, I’m not putting you down, but being that rash won’t do your future any good ...”

“I understand, Sect Elder! I won’t do it again!”

Spoken like an obedient child.

To be honest, that had not been done out of rashness. That was the beginning of his plan to shock everyone. “It’s so strange to hear you call me ‘Sect Elder.’ If you don’t mind, call me ‘Uncle Liu,’” said Liu Yuan as he stroked his beard and looked at Long Chen emotionally.

“Why would I mind? I know how well you’ve treated me, Uncle Liu.”

Although the old man was a little weaker than the rest, he was still an excellent person, so Long Chen had no aversion towards him. If the old man was willing to drop the titles and let Long Chen call him ‘uncle,’ Long Chen naturally wouldn’t let him lose face by declining his offer.

I got a Category Six Black-tier Beast Soul for calling him ‘uncle.’ This trade is worth it.

Long Chen was privately pleased.

This time, Liu Yuan and Long Chen hurried along in front while Liu Lan trailed behind. She was no longer walking with her head down; she occasionally looked up at Long Chen with some confusion in her eyes. He sold the Violet Demonic Lizard’s Beast Soul, but why does it feel like his cultivation level has improved greatly?

To her, he was full of miracles. This time, he was about to face the most difficult obstacle in his life. She wondered if he would make another miracle happen again.

Although she knew that it would be very, very difficult for him, she was still looking forward to the inner family qualifiers.

They soon arrived at the Turquoise Sun Hall. Ignoring strange looks from the others, Liu Yuan called for the most magnificent Divine Gale Peng they had. They mounted the bird, then it extended its powerful wings and flew westward!

It was the beginning of a new arc once more.

The people of the Turquoise Sun Hall were left looking at each other.

“Even with the Peng’s speed, it will take us a full day to reach the Nine Devil Mountains from Yuanling City. It's morning right now, so I estimate we’ll arrive before nightfall!”

Liu Yuan sat at the very front, using his Qi to split the incoming wind. His Qi was wrapped solidly around him and allowed him to sit steadily on the Divine Gale Peng’s back. He turned and said, “The Grand Elder actually has a Black-tier beast we could have used as transport to get to the Nine Devil Mountains in just half a day. But today he ... Sigh. Showing such favoritism is very unbecoming of a man of his status. But if he insists that we are late, we won’t be able to do anything about it ...”

Liu Yuan’s face darkened.

Looking at her father’s expression made Liu Lan’s heart ache. Liu Yuan was considered the weakest among the eight Sect Elders of the Turquoise family. The reason he had remained in power for so long was all due to him keeping a low profile. However, keeping a low profile also meant being bullied. He’d been bullied ever since Liu Lan was old enough to remember.

“Uncle Liu,” Long Chen suddenly said.

“What is it?”

Long Chen gave a small smile. “Don’t dwell too much on this matter. I won’t disappoint you when we get to the Nine Devil Mountains. Glory and respect must be fought for by ourselves. What’s so great about the Grand Elder anyway? In the future, he’s probably going to have to kiss my behind too.”

“Long Chen, that’s enough!” Liu Yuan looked a little angry. “Remember! When we get to the Nine Devil Mountains, do not say such disrespectful things! I won’t be able to protect you!”

Long Chen smiled, not showing any signs of acknowledgment. He shut his eyes to rest.

Liu Yuan privately shook his head at Long Chen’s bold insubordination. He was now feeling uncertain about letting him participate in the inner qualifiers.

Liu Lan had been listening to their conversation. When she heard Long Chen’s bold statement, she was initially smirking and mocking him in her heart, but when she saw that he didn’t refute Liu Yuan, but instead closed his eyes calmly to rest, she was shaken.

Such confidence ... Can he really do it?

Time passed as she puzzled over her thoughts. The sun had risen from the east and traveled through the sky until it sank in the west.

On the western border of Yuanling County, dark clouds loomed in the skies. The legendary Nine Devil Mountains looked eerie ...
