Dragon Blooded War God

Long Chen had grown a lot in just four months. Suxue, who was considered a genius ever since she was young, regarded Long Chen as a monster for catching up to her at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage.

In terms of talent, she had never seen anyone on par with him.

“Come and sit.”

Long Chen noticed that Suxue appeared to have some reservations, so he let her sit beside him. The two of them looked like a perfect couple when they sat beside each other. The others saw them and admired how perfect they looked for each other.

Long Chen looked at her, causing her to blush and hold onto her robes tightly.

“I wanted to ask… Are you leaving after this?”

Long Chen was silent. He needed to find the exit of the Ancient Graveyard with Xiaolang and find out about the Five Emperors’ Treasure. He indeed was going to leave. He could not stay here in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory to live with Suxue. That wasn’t who Long Chen was. He had sacrificed so much to get here, and he would never go back.

“I … have to leave.”

Long Chen was adamant when he told Suxue his answer.

Suxue paused and hid her feelings. “Don’t… Don’t overthink it. I’m asking you for the sake of my sister. But… Will you really leave and never stay with us in the Demon clan? I… My father and my sister… They need you…”

“You are the one who wants me to stay, right?” Long Chen bluntly said as he stared at her. His burning gaze made her blush and look away.

“Stop saying nonsense. I just need you to give me an answer.”

Long Chen understood her feelings and said, “Then… Why do you need me to stay?”

“My sister and I are girls. We do not meet the expectations of our father when it comes to combat. My father loves us a lot, and we are worried that we won’t be able to take on his mantle to lead the Demon clan. You are much stronger than the two of us, so…”

Long Chen chuckled. “Does that mean I get to marry the two of you if I stay here? I can then control the Demon clan and become the most influential person in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, right?”

“Bullshit!” Suxue pushed him lightly. “You are too greedy. My sister and I are the princesses of the Demon clan. We can’t both marry you. I… My sister loves you a lot. If you want, you can marry my sister in a few years…”

Suxue made her decision when she said that.

“Only one of you? But I want both of you. I won’t stay unless both of you marry me.”

Long Chen teased her further.

“You… How can you be so greedy?” Suxue was angry when she said this.

Long Chen rolled his eyes. “Aren’t all men the same? We want as many beautiful girls as we can get.”

“Bastard…” Suxue huffed in anger and only spoke after some time. “Give me some time to think. Even if I agreed to it, I don’t think my father would …”

Long Chen was speechless when he saw that Suxue was serious. His eyes became stern when he realized that this was important for Suxue. He had treated her as a friend, just like Long Yue and Lan Xiang’er. They were siblings, but it appeared that it wasn’t the same for Suxue and Suyan.

From the day Long Chen crashed into Heavenly Wood City, he had been a bright star that had attracted the attention of the two sisters.

Long Chen saw the same kind of gaze in Suxue’s eyes that he had seen in Liu Yiyi. This made his heart sink.

He was now faced with a choice that he had never expected to make. If he agreed and returned to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory with Suxue, he would undoubtedly become a lord of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. Neither Wu Lian nor Bai Lan would be able to defeat him. 𝘳

If he chose to stay, he could not only monopolize Suxue and Suyan, he could even go back and find Liu Yiyi, who was waiting for him. These women would be completely loyal to him. After that, every single woman would long for him and he would become a legend.

This was the temptation that Suxue was presenting to him.

His other choice was to continue his journey and go forward, to chase after Ling Xi. It was a far-fetched dream, and also his first love. He would have to fulfill the promise that he had made two years ago!

It was Long Chen’s obsession, and also his life. He was not only chasing after Ling Xi, but also his cousin, Yang Lingqing. She was most likely in the Three Emperor Territory. Li Xuanji had once told him that he would never make it there, but Long Chen was going to prove that he could!

Also, if he stayed in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, his strength would undoubtedly become stagnant. Anyone from the Three Emperor Territory would be able to destroy his glory in just a single night, just like how Long Chen had been powerless before Ling Xi’s brother.

Heading to the Three Emperor Territory was also part of Long Chen’s pursuit for strength.

What was the Three Emperor Territory like? How strong were the people there?

How strong were the Ten Dragon Ancestors?

What was the mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant? He knew about the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon and the Primordial Time Dragon, but who were the other Dragon Ancestors?

What would his dragon-shaped Martial Soul look like at the end of its evolution?

Would he really become a Dragon Ancestor once he fully absorbed all of the Inherited Blood Essence?

More importantly, what kind of person was his father? Who was Long Qinglan?

Did Long Chen have any family members other than his father and the Yang family from Baiyang Town?

Long Qinglan wanted Long Chen to walk a path filled with impossibilities. Would he be scorned by Long Qinglan if he chose comfort right now?

Everything was spurring Long Chen forward. He couldn’t stop now!

But at the same time, untold dangers awaited him if he chose this path. How many times had he risked his life in the past two years?

The Three Emperor Territory was the true stage of the Dragon Continent. Long Chen was almost there, the boundless land filled with extremely powerful cultivators. Everyone there could kill him at any time.

On one end was a cushy life, while on the other was a path filled with thorns.

On one end was a place where the spirit could rest in peace, while the other signified the amelioration of the soul and the pursuit of life!

On one end was the choice of a coward, while on the other was the choice of a man who did not fear death!

Long Chen made his choice after a brief period of hesitation.

He had to admit that even he felt tired sometimes. That was why he had hesitated, but even though he was tired, he still chose to chase after what he wanted.

I hope that one day I will be able to stand at the peak of this world and fulfill all of my dreams. I hope that I won’t regret my choice today.

Long Chen took a deep breath.

“Suxue, I’m so sorry.”

Suxue was worrying about a lot of things when Long Chen stopped her thoughts in their tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Suxue was conflicted too. She had no idea what he would say next.

Long Chen looked at her seriously. “I can’t stay. I cannot go back to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. I don’t know if Yan’er told you about my story, but the reason I entered the Ancient Graveyard is to find a way to go to the Three Emperor Territory. I have a promise to fulfill, and also something that I must find no matter what. I have to pay the price for my previous weakness, and this is my destiny. I’m sorry, I was teasing you just now.”

Suxue was stunned and only lowered her head softly after a long time. “Yan’er told me a bit. You are chasing after someone called Ling Xi, right? Is she pretty?”

Suxue liked gossip. After setting aside her worries, she was now interested in the woman called Ling Xi.

“Yes, she is the prettiest, kindest, cutest …”

Long Chen was excited to talk about her, but he stopped as soon as he saw Suxue’s face turning sour.

“Is she prettier than me?” Suxue asked in a hushed tone.

“That … I can’t compare the two of you. You are very different. But I promise that you are indeed pretty, to the point that a lot of people would seek your affection.”

“Liar.”

Even though she had said that, she was still satisfied with Long Chen’s answer. Suxue wasn’t unreasonable; she knew when to back off, especially since Long Chen had given her an answer. She would never speak of it again.

She liked people like Long Chen, but if Yan’er had been telling her the truth, then Suxue wouldn’t stop Long Chen here. She would actually support him, and she wouldn’t forgive herself if she made Long Chen stay.

Making him stay here was nothing but her own desire.

“Alright, then … You can cultivate in peace now, for the sake of your future. If you succeed, please come back and visit us, especially Yan’er. She misses you a lot…”

Suxue then leapt down from the boulder to leave.

“Where are you going?”

“Me? I’m going to cultivate too. I’m fighting you tomorrow after all. I won’t lose nor give up. Don’t worry about us. Even without you, we will be able to command the Demon clan. We won’t let you look down on us!”

Suxue raised her fist playfully and displayed her bravery for Long Chen.

Long Chen laughed. “In that case, I am relieved to see that someone as barbarous as you will lead the Demon clan.”
