Dragon Blooded War God

Feng Qing’s domain was quickly expelled after Bai Lan acted. When the elderly Feng Qing saw that Bai Lan and Lei Ji were blocking his way, he was shocked. Despite his fury at Long Chen, he had no choice but to hold it in and stop attacking.

The tension in the air grew thicker. Everyone had guessed that the Divine Wind and Thunder Demon Factions would fight today, and that guess was about to come true.

When Feng Qing saw that Bai Lan and Lei Ji had finally acted, he snapped out of his fury. After being the patriarch for so many years, he still knew when he had to remain calm. Bai Lan and Lei Ji clearly intended to protect Long Chen.

Feng Qing looked at the two patriarchs with a dark gaze. “What is the meaning of this? Long Chen has taken something that belongs to the Wind clan. Does this mean that the Thunder and Demon clans are also greedy enough to take my clan’s treasures for yourselves?”

Bai Lan gave a small smile and said, “We are not eyeing the Wind clan’s treasures. We would never dare go after the Wind clan’s treasures, like the Shapeless Whip! However, you must understand something. First of all, this is Heavenly Wood City. We are not idiots—the treasures in the Ancient Graveyard do not belong to anyone. We may fight over them, but they belong to whoever gets them. If the Wind clan were able to snatch away the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance here, then it would naturally belong to you too. However, Brother Feng, you are saying that the Martial God Tombstone and the inheritance already belong to you. Do you think that we are idiots?”

Feng Qing froze. He had said those things only to bully Long Chen, to make it seem like he was in the right. Bai Lan, as a person of equal rank, had just exposed him, giving Feng Qing no face at all. Feng Qing and Wu Lian looked at each other. They knew that Bai Lan was adamant about protecting Long Chen.

The matriarch of the Divine clan, Wu Lian, who had not said a word yet, finally spoke up in a cold voice. “Brother Bai, are you going to ignore the relationship between the Divine Wind and Thunder Demon Factions and insist on protecting this nobody?”

Bai Lan chuckled, turned around, and then asked the Demon and Thunder clansmen, “Who said he was a nobody? Can someone tell me who Long Chen is to me?”

“Long Chen is the patriarch’s son-in-law!”

“He is Princess Suxue’s husband!”

“Long Chen is part of the Demon clan! He is not a nobody!”

“Yes, he is the Prince Consortof the Demon clan!”[1]

The crowd started to answer Bai Lan cooperatively. After several people shouted out their answers, almost every Thunder and Demon clan member raised their hands to utter the words “son-in-law” and “Prince Consort.” This showed that they had accepted Long Chen as one of them.

Not only the Thunder clansmen, even the Demon clan members who previously hated Long Chen were speaking up. Long Chen had gained their respect and admiration. It was a dog-eat-dog world, and the strongest ones received the respect they deserved. Right now, Long Chen was undeniably considered strong in the Thunder and Demon clans. After all, he had withstood Feng Qing’s domain despite only having the Seven Star Body to rely on. The Demon clan was secretly grateful to Long Chen for this small act of revenge.

Bai Lan smiled and turned around to say, “I think you two understand what they’re saying, right?”

As he spoke, Bai Lan reached out and rested his hand on Long Chen’s shoulder in a friendly manner. He smiled and said, “The wedding between my daughter, Suxue, and Long Chen was set a long time ago. The whole world knows about it! I can’t believe you guys hadn’t heard about it! This means that Long Chen isn’t just part of the Demon clan, he is also my family!”

After he spoke, Bai Lan’s expression changed abruptly to a stern look. A fierce aura radiated from his body as he glared coldly at the Divine Wind Faction. He said coldly, “I will answer Brother Feng’s question now. First, Long Chen is right. If a treasure appears in the wild, then whoever gets it can keep it. Before anyone truly gets a hold of the treasure, no one has the right to say that they are its owner. This is something that even a child understands, so don’t you dare try to manipulate me, Brother Feng. Second, Long Chen is my son-in-law, not a nobody. Brother Feng, you are standing in my territory, and you attacked a family member of mine. Aren’t you the one that’s not giving me face at all? Do you see me as a doormat?”

At this point, a demonic aura emanated from Bai Lan's body. It was a thick killing intent. Other than the two clan leaders, the members of the Divine Wind Faction had to back away in terror.

Bai Lan did not stop. His gaze fell on his old rival, the Divine Clan’s matriarch, Wu Lian, and he continued, “As for the part where you accused me of ignoring the relationship between our factions … You were the one who came to my territory and made wild accusations, and you even tried to attack my family! You did not show respect to the Thunder and Demon clans at all. May I ask if it is me or you who are the ones ignoring the relationship between our factions? That is all I have to say. Everyone knows in their hearts who is right and who is wrong. If you still refuse to leave us alone, then do not blame me for treating you poorly! The Demon clan only has heroes who die in battle; we do not have cowardly trash. If you want to attack, do it! We will kill as many as it takes!”

When he uttered his last words, the power of Bai Lan’s domain erupted. Bai Lan’s domain was much stronger than Feng Qing’s, so Matriarch Wu Lian was the only member of the whole Divine Wind Faction who did not back away. However, the strong gust of wind still caused her clothes to flap loudly!

“Yeah! If you want to fight, we’ll fight! The Thunder and Demon clansmen are proud men! Not like some people, who bully the weak just because they’re stronger!”

“Come at us! If the Divine and Wind clans want to fight, we will oblige you! If you want to fight, do it now! If you don’t, get the hell out!”

“They’re weak! The great patriarch of a clan isn’t even strong enough to make a teenager under twenty years old kneel before him! I am shocked!”

The Thunder and Demon clansmen were completely behind Bai Lan, and they started to mock the other party. The expressions of the Divine Wind Faction soured. If not for the fact that their respective patriarchs had not given the order, they would have attacked already.

Long Chen felt a sense of warmth in his heart upon seeing all the support he was receiving. He looked at the Divine Wind Faction and mocked them loudly as well. “You guys shouldn’t speak too loudly, or you’ll scare them! The Divine Wind Faction is filled with people who are basically women, and even the patriarch is a woman. They’re not brave! They wouldn’t dare attack even if we gave them ten gallbladders each.”

Long Chen’s words were especially hurtful at this moment.

Every person from the Divine Wind Faction was about to explode from rage.

They looked at him with reddened eyes filled with rage. Long Chen saw the strongest desire to fight in Feng Zhilin and Wu Guangyu’s eyes, who looked as if they wanted to swallow him whole. Wu Guangyu stood next to Feng Zhilin, his eyes fixed on Long Chen. In his memory, Long Chen had been difficult to deal with since the beginning, but at the time, Long Chen’s cultivation level was so low that he had no interest in killing him.

This brat has a death wish.

Wu Guangyu had good self-discipline. Despite his anger at the insult, he quickly hid it away.

This was clearly not a good time to kill Long Chen.

The Divine Wind Faction did not attack. They were all waiting for Wu Lian and Feng Qing’s command. Wu Lian’s face was hidden beneath a veil, so they could not see her expression. Feng Qing was standing next to her, and he was the main target of the mockery. Therefore, he was in a more humiliating position than anyone else.

“Sister Wu, look at them …”

“This is not the time to attack. Seeing as Bai Lan has openly stated his intentions and we have formed this grudge, there is no need to say any more. We will all be heading to the Eternal Battlefield. We will make the Thunder and Demon clans pay back the humiliation we suffered today ten times over. With Yu’er present, we will definitely get the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance!”

Feng Qing nodded and said, “Yu’er has started to learn how to control the divine sword, the Azure Lotus. The sword will surely be at least as powerful as the Seven Star Lord’s Three Thousand Star Clusters, and Yu’er is at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. He also has many more treasures …”

With that thought, Feng Qing suppressed his anger and calmed himself down. He smiled and said, “I didn’t think that the Thunder and Demon clans are only capable of bickering. I am shocked. In that case, there is nothing else for us to say. The Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition will take place in twenty-seven days …”

As he spoke, he looked at Long Chen and said, “You have offended the Divine Wind Faction. I hope you actually are strong so that you won’t lose too tragically at the Martial Youth Competition. We can’t intervene during the fight, so if you lose the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, it’ll be gone for good!”

Long Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t lose the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. However, you need to remind your granddaughter Feng Zhilin not to lose her virginity.”

Virginity.

Long Chen’s vulgarity made the Divine Wind Faction’s clansmen’s rage hit the roof.

As for the Thunder Demon Faction, they admired Long Chen endlessly. To them, he was very talented and very bold. He was probably the only person in the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory who would dare say such a thing.

The ones who were the angriest were Wu Guangyu and Feng Zhilin. Feng Zhilin was Wu Guangyu’s fiancée, yet Long Chen had publicly threatened Feng Zhilin’s purity. As a man, who could endure someone else threatening his own betrothed?

To Feng Zhilin, what happened in the Seven Star Lord’s tomb was still fresh in her mind. All it would’ve taken was a whim from Long Chen, and she would have lost her purity then. Even now, she had already lost a small portion of it to Long Chen.
