Dragon War God

Chapter 92 - Truth About Blood Saints

Long Chen had just stowed away the corpses of Huang Feiyang and the two protectors and tidied up the scene a bit when Wen Ya emerged with a gloomy look on his face.

Staring at the destroyed battleground, Wen Ya immediately sensed that something was amiss when he saw that only Long Chen was left. “Where is Huang Feiyang?” Wen Ya glared at Long Chen.

But Long Chen feigned ignorance. “The two of the protectors couldn't win against Huang Feiyang and ran away. Huang Feiyang was chasing after them. You missed them by just a few minutes.”

Wen Ya frowned, but he didn’t believe Long Chen.

Huang Feiyang wanted to use the enemies to kill Long Chen. Did the plan fail? With his temperament, he would never give up on killing Long Chen so easily. Unless something happened?

Wen Ya examined the ground and said coldly, “Why is the battleground such a mess? There are even scorch marks and a faint smell of burning. I felt a strong clash just now even from within the cave, but you are the only one I see. What happened here?”

Wen Ya would never have guessed that Long Chen had not only killed all of them, but he had even hid them in his own Universe Pouch.

Just then, Wen Ya spotted Li Yan, and his eyes turned icy. He approached Li Yan. “Speak. What happened here? If you don’t want to die, you better tell me the truth!”

Long Chen smiled when he glanced at Li Yan. Even though Long Chen’s eyes were deceptively harmless, Li Yan knew Long Chen was a dangerous man who could take lives with no hesitation.

Staring at the unfriendly Wen Ya and the calm Long Chen, Li Yan made a decision. He acted as if he was scared. “Sir ... That man was too strong and the protectors were no match for him, so they ran away. The man chased after them!”

Li Yan’s testimony was the same as Long Chen's. This made him frown even more.

Wen Ya believed both of them at this point, but it still made no sense to him.

What is Huang Feiyang doing? He said he wanted to kill Long Chen, so why did he chase after the protectors alone? This is very mysterious ...

“Senior Wen, should we chase after them?”

Wen Ya carefully stared at Long Chen but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Huang Feiyang’s goal is Long Chen, so I will just help him by keeping an eye on Long Chen. His Wheel of Life and Death is a powerful technique, so he shouldn’t be in any danger ...

Wen Ya shook his head. “No need to chase after them. Come and help me rescue the women. As for him ... We can kill him now.”

Li Yan immediately pleaded with Long Chen, who had once rescued him from the clutches of Huang Feiyang. As expected, Long Chen didn’t want to kill Li Yan. “Senior Wen, he’s a member of the Blood Saints. I have a grudge to settle with them, which is why I am keeping him alive. I need information from him, so please give me a chance!”

“Blood Saints?”

Wen Ya had never heard of them before, but since Long Chen had pleaded with him, Wen Ya let him do as he pleased. There was no reason to deny him that.

“Follow me.”

Wen Ya entered the cave once more. He had already dealt with the rest of the Blood Saints but had yet to rescue the women. Since Huang Feiyang had not returned yet, he could only save the women and complete the mission for now.

Li Yan immediately stood up and followed them when he saw Long Chen entering the cave with Wen Ya. He followed timidly behind Long Chen.

“I will ask questions, and you must answer honestly.”

“Yes, I understand!” Li Yan complied.

Seeing Li Yan being so obedient made Long Chen happy. He originally trusted the information Liu Lan had provided, but he had lost all of his trust in her after this mission.

Long Chen probed the weak-willed Li Yan. “I need to find one of the Protectors of the Blood Saints. His name is Xue Yuanzi. Do you know where he is?”

It was a very well-constructed question. If the Blood Saints knew that the Yang family had killed Xue Yuanzi, then this question would not reveal Long Chen’s connection to the Yang family. If the Blood Saints didn’t know Xue Yuanzi had been killed by the Yang family, then the question wouldn’t give away any information.

As expected, Liu Yan answered in a daze, “Protector Xue Yuanzi has been missing for more than half a month. We don’t know where he is. Why are you looking for him?”

Long Chen smiled coldly. “I want to kill him. Then let me ask you another question. Why are the Blood Saints capturing so many women?”

Long Chen had a feeling the Blood Saints were preparing something big. This was not an ordinary kidnapping.

Long Chen was intrigued by the scent of blood mixed within their Qi.

Li Yan stammered when he heard the question. He was conflicted when he stared at Long Chen.

“Do you want to die?”

Long Chen’s voice was menacing to him. “I will talk! But please spare me!”

Long Chen nodded. “No worries, I am a man of my word.”

With Long Chen’s guarantee, Li Yan gritted his teeth and told the truth. “Our Great Priest has a weird cultivation technique. All we need to do is to gather the Pure Yin Blood of virgin women and place them in a blood pool. The members of the Blood Saints then submerge themselves in the pool of blood and cultivate. Doing so allows us to form Bloodsoul Qi, which is twice as strong as regular Qi. Since the blood pool is dry now, we have to kidnap more women to fill it up before the next Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony ...”

Long Chen remained quiet while he listened.

Pure Yin Blood was the fresh blood of virgin women. If they wanted to fill a pool with enough blood for the Blood Saints to cultivate in, they would need to kill thousands of virgin women!

Long Chen pursed his lips when he recalled the poor girls at the Jade Palace Brothel.

He had befriended some of them when he was there. Those women led hard lives, and they did their best to learn a trade just so they could support themselves. To think that they had ended up meeting such an awful end.

And they were not alone. Many more women had died the same way.

Long Chen’s breathing got heavier the more he thought about it.

Li Yan gingerly asked when he saw Long Chen’s emotion shift, “Sir, can I leave now? You’ve already asked all the questions you needed.”

Long Chen moved. When he raised his head, Li Yan saw that Long Chen’s eyes were bloodshot.

“You’ve cultivated within the blood pool too, right?”

Li Yan's face went pale. He wanted to defend himself, but Long Chen had already punched his head, causing Li Yan’s brain to explode. The old man was dead just like that.

“Damn! Long Chen, you did well. We cannot forgive such wicked people! They are heartless! May the heavens punish them and kill them all! They don’t deserve reincarnation!”

Ling Xi was a woman too. When she heard about the Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony, she was angrier than Long Chen!

Long Chen had never seen the kind Ling Xi so angry before.

“To think such wicked creatures were lurking at the corners of the world! They kill others just to increase their cultivation levels. The Blood Saints, their Great Priest, and all of their members must die!”

Ling Xi was sobbing when she said that. She had been born into a family that shielded her from such terrors. Never had she ever thought that there would be such cruel people in the world.

Long Chen did not regret going back on his word and killing Li Yan. He was equally upset to see Ling Xi crying.

“I know. Once I am strong enough, I will never allow sects like those to exist.”

Ling Xi felt better after he reassured her. “Then you must quickly become stronger and stop them before their ceremony. I will never forgive you if you don’t avenge those women!”

“I know what to do next. Plus, if they find out that I killed two of their protectors, they will hunt me down. Xiao Xi, we now have an unresolved grudge with them!”

“That’s good.”

When Long Chen was questioning Li Yan, Wen Ya was walking at the front. He only heard Long Chen’s faint voice and thought nothing about it. But a few seconds later, he heard the sound of Li Yan getting killed.

Wen Ya frowned while he looked at Li Yan’s exploded head.

Long Chen just killed him the moment he got what he needed ... Long Chen is a cruel man. If Huang Feiyang doesn’t kill him now, Long Chen will surpass him in the future. We will be in trouble by then. But where is Huang Feiyang at this critical time?

Wen Ya brought out tens of women from the depths of the cave. Because the Blood Saints required the blood of virgin women, they were unharmed.

That was probably why Li Yan had a lustful look on his face when he first met Long Chen. Li Yan had probably spent too much time with the women and couldn’t satisfy his carnal desires.

The mission was technically completed after rescuing the women. Wen Ya knew that something was wrong, because Huang Feiyang had yet to return. They waited until dusk came before deciding to leave the mountain. They couldn’t stay up there during the night, as it was too dangerous.

Maybe he will head straight to Yanluo Town. I wonder what happened to him ...
