Dragon War God

Chapter 93 - Wan’er

Huang Feiyang, the two Protectors, and Li Yan were dead. Long Chen, Wen Ya, and the women were the only ones alive on the mountain.

The women finally processed what had happened and worshipped Wen Ya. Some of them even looked at him with gazes of love. It was all thanks to him that they were saved.

As for Long Chen, none of the women considered him because they never saw him fight with their own eyes.

“I don’t know when Huang Feiyang will return, and it’s already night time. We should head back to Yanluo Town first.”

Wen Ya frowned. Huang Feiyang had been gone for far too long and was probably in danger, but he couldn’t leave the women unattended. The problem was that he had no idea where Huang Feiyang had run off to.

The group then went down the mountain.

Wen Ya walked alone at the front. The women noticed that Long Chen was much easier to talk to and approached him. “Sir, are you from the Lingwu family?”

Long Chen was feeling very happy because he had just killed Huang Feiyang and managed to trick Wen Ya into thinking otherwise. Hence, he was more than happy to answer the questions of the beautiful ladies. “Of course, we are both from the Lingwu family. That’s how we managed to rescue you so easily!”

“Wow ...”

Long Chen was young, and Wen Ya was not an old man. Both of them were what the women imagined heroes would look like. Even though they were slightly traumatized from the ordeal, they soon recovered from the shock.

“Is the man at the front your senior? He’s the one who rescued us, right?”

“Your senior must be a super strong cultivator in the Lingwu family, right?”

Long Chen answered them proudly, “Of course! Senior Wen Ya is very famous in the Lingwu family. Many other women are vying for him. If you want him for yourself, you better act fast!”

The women blushed and joked with Long Chen.

They were halfway down the mountain when they met Yan Beitian. The mayor had brought a group of the strongest cultivators he knew and was searching the mountain too. When they saw the women, everyone was surprised and cheered.

Yan Beitian immediately saw that his daughter was unharmed and kneeled in front of Wen Ya. “I thank the Lingwu family for saving our daughters and averting the crisis of Yanluo Town! As the mayor and a father, I thank our three ... Two saviors!”

“Hooray! If our magnanimous savior require our help, we will gladly assist you even if we have to die!”

Yan Beitian instantly noticed that Huang Feiyang was missing. When he saw Long Chen surrounded by the women, he knew something was up. Just then, Wen Ya asked Yan Beitian to get up.

“Sir, we have prepared a feast for you. Please do ...”

Wen Ya didn’t feel like celebrating, because Huang Feiyang was missing. “You head back first. I still have something to do. Cancel the feast.”

Wen Ya’s tone was harsh. The people from Yanluo Town were taken aback and didn’t know what to do. Their mission was complete, but why was Wen Ya upset?

Wen Ya had underestimated how serious the situation was. He had thought Huang Feiyang would come back unharmed thanks to the Wheel of Life and Death.

But he had not returned even though it had been so long. He was sure that something had happened to Huang Feiyang. At this point, he no longer had the time to watch over Long Chen, because Huang Feiyang’s life was more important. Killing Long Chen was secondary.

Wen Ya warned, “Long Chen, head back to Yanluo Town and stay there. Wait for me and Huang Feiyang before we go back to Yuanling City!”

Long Chen nodded in compliance.

Wen Ya stared at the youth once more. He saw how nonchalant Long Chen was, as if the safety of Huang Feiyang did not matter to him. This was how it should be, and Wen Ya found no fault in it.

After warning Long Chen and giving some instructions, Wen Ya left them and ran into the depths of Yandong Mountain.

At the same time, Yan Beitian and the rest noticed that Long Chen seemed happy, glad even. While heading back, Yan Beitian carefully asked, “Sir, do you know what happened to the other two?”

Long Chen replied with the same lie, “While Wen Ya was saving the women, Senior Huang and I were fighting the Protectors who were at the Human Core Realm, but they were no match for us and escaped. Senior Huang chased after them but has yet to return. We waited for him until it was almost night and decided to head down first. Senior Wen Ya must be heading back to find him!”

Yan Beitian and the rest finally understood what had happened and why Huang Feiyang wasn’t present.

All of them went down the mountain safely, and the women rejoined their families once more. Long Chen sighed in relief at finally being able to get rid of Huang Feiyang.

Now it’s time to deal with the Blood Saints, but will the Lingwu family see through my lies?

Long Chen was still not confident it would work against the crazy Liu Lan.

Yan Beitian carefully stared at Long Chen amidst the crowd, his gaze filled with surprise and caution.

When Long Chen and the other two first appeared, Yan Beitian quickly noticed how Huang Feiyang hated the younger man to the point that his killing intent leaked out. Yan Beitian had guessed that Huang Feiyang would most likely kill Long Chen while they were up on Yandong Mountain.

But now Long Chen had come back unharmed, while Huang Feiyang was missing.

Thinking back on what Long Chen had said, it was clear that Wen Ya was not at the scene when everything happened. Which meant that the story Long Chen had told could have been entirely fabricated.

Although Yan Beitian looked like a simple man, he had served as the mayor for so long that he was an old, sly fox himself. Wen Ya might not have noticed it, but Yan Beitian had.

This young man surpassed all of my expectations for him. I fear that Huang Feiyang is most likely dead.

Even though he knew that this was what most likely had happened, he would never say it out loud. He knew Long Chen was who he should watch out for, and there was no reason to make him an enemy.

“Father, why are you staring at him?”

Besides Yan Beitian was a young girl roughly fourteen years old.

Yan Beitian was very grateful that his daughter had come back unharmed. He suddenly had a thought. “Wan’er, he’s quite a prodigy. Do you believe me?”

The young girl called Wan’er stared at Long Chen doubtfully. “But his senior was much stronger than him. Wen Ya was the one who saved us, and he’s so dreamy! As for him ... He looks fine, but I don’t think he’s that strong, seeing how he talked so hesitantly with his senior ...”

Yan Beitian laughed.

This young man is not only a prodigy, he can make fast and hard decisions while hiding his true self. His future is immeasurable ...

Yan Beitian kept these thoughts to himself. He was initially fooled by Long Chen, but now he was both afraid and respectful of the young man.

They soon arrived back in town. Since Wen Ya had not returned, Yan Beitian called off the feast and instead just treated Long Chen to a good dinner. After some time, Long Chen excused himself.

Huang Feiyang and the other corpses were still in his Universe Pouch. He needed to get rid of them now!

Long Chen quickly ran out of Yanluo town and burned the corpses to nothing but ashes in an unseen location.

Huang Feiyang’s Universe Pouch was burned away with my Burning Devil Sun Fist, but luckily, the Universe Pouches of the two Protectors are intact. Lucky me!

Long Chen needed divine jades badly. He only had one left after buying the Soul Nourishing Fruit.

He checked the Universe Pouches and found one hundred and thirty-five divine jades. This was the richest he had ever been in his life.

There were also Yellow-tier medicines and martial techniques, along with some random items. Long Chen kept what he needed and burnt the rest away before taking the two Universe Pouches with him.

Even though the Universe Pouch was a common item for Human Core Realm cultivators, he had other uses for them.

I’m sure Lingqing would love this as a gift. She has so many things, and it's so inconvenient to not have one.

Back in the estate of the mayor, Long Chen focused on cultivating. It was only at midnight that Wen Ya appeared in front of Long Chen. He questioned Long Chen one more time. “Long Chen, do you swear you are telling the truth?”

Long Chen's eyes were cold. “What are you suggesting? Do you think I’m lying to you? Are you crazy? Do you think I can kill Huang Feiyang and the two protectors on my own?”

Wen Ya knew it was impossible, but Huang Feiyang was missing. He had searched the entire mountain but still couldn’t find him. How would he explain this?

Was he killed by the Blood Saints and his body was destroyed?

Wen Ya guessed the latter half right, but he was dead wrong about who had done it.

He knew Long Chen’s strength. How could an Eighth Draconic Stage cultivator kill three experts at the Human Core Realm? The sun would rise from the west if that were to happen.

“I don’t care if you are lying or not, the truth will be revealed once we return to the Lingwu family. No one has ever dared to lie in front of Administrator Liu before. If you’ve lied to me, get ready to be punished! We will return to the Lingwu family in three days if Huang Feiyang does not return before then!”

Wen Ya left promptly.

Long Chen was indeed somewhat wary of Liu Lan. Not only was he weaker than her, but she was his superior too. He didn’t know what to do with her.

“Who’s afraid of that bitch? Buy me two more Soul Nourishing Fruit and I will show you my true power! I can kill her just like that! Hmph!”

Ling Xi hated how Liu Lan had tried to seduce Long Chen.

“But I only have enough money to buy one Soul Nourishing Fruit ...”

Three days passed in a flash. Long Chen and Wen Ya left, being set off cheerfully by the people of Yanluo Town. They headed back to the Lingwu family immediately.

Long Chen didn’t know what kind of storm awaited him back in Yuanling City.
