Dragon Martial Emperor

Chapter 134 Hidden Heavenly Thunder ReservoirHowever, Long Yu did not lose heart.

In the seven sect competition, scheduled four months from now, he also had the chance to attain victory. Of course, without the help of legendary Nine Hidden Dragon Mark, he would certainly be unable to defeat Yu Qianning in the competition.

(Mystique: From here onwards, I will be using the term ‘kingdom’ instead of ‘state’ to refer to the three countries namely ‘Tang Kingdom’, ‘Mongolian Kingdom’ and ‘United Kingdom of Japan’. The presence of monarchy in each of these countries has forced me to make this change.)

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. Actually, Old General Yi never planned to invade our Tang Kingdom. He had some other goals from the beginning.”

Feng Longsong said while looking far into the distance, toward the East!

“Other goals?”

Long Yu frowned while simultaneously decreasing his own pace to match with the pace of Feng Longsong in order to arrive next to him.

“Yes.”

Feng Longsong nodded: “Old General Yi told me that he was ordered to blockade Tang Guan to attract the attention of Tang Army and then simultaneously block the majority of Tang soldiers. However, their real goal was Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.”

Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir!

What is this?

Long Yu had never heard of it, so he could not help but ask out loud.

Feng Longsong further continued the explanation: “At the border of two countries, there is a place called Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir. Loud thundering sounds keep coming from there as if it is a place where thunders are born and come crashing down every now and then. In recent days, these thunderclaps have increased and prolonged at an alarming rate. It seems like a treasure is about to take birth. A Mongolian Prince heard about this and ordered Old General Man Yi to take his son Man Xin and stop the people of Tang Kingdom from getting close to the Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir. The prince basically wants to monopolize this treasure.”

Although this method was not effective enough to stop the powerhouses, it was good enough to stop most assorted people.

In every treasure hunt, one must always stay away from confusion chaos.

Even a prince of Mongolian Kingdom, who was said to hold dreadful power and influence, was not willing to let anyone win it away from him!

“In order to obtain a treasure, this so-called Mongolian Prince is actually willing to sacrifice the lives of so many of his soldiers while blockading Tang Guan. He is really cruel and ruthless!”

Long Yu frowned while saying.

“Yes, this Mongolian prince’s martial talent is outstanding. I think he should be on the same level as the nine young experts of our Tang Kingdom.”

Feng Longsong sighed and said: “With his father being a Mongolian King, his future is likely to be set as a king of Mongolian kingdom. He is definitely a formidable enemy of my Tang Kingdom.”

The ancient kingdom of Mongolia was not the same as the Tang Kingdom.

Tang Kingdom was dominated by the ruling power of Chu Clan, the military power of Long Clan and the ministerial power of Mo Clan. These three top clans controlled vast majority of resources in Tang Kingdom.

But in the Mongolian Kingdom, there were 18 Kings in total who together governed the ‘King Hall’ to rule Mongolian Kingdom.

He was a well-known young prince of Mongolia since his father was one of the 18 Kings and was also ranked in the top three, based on strength!

This prince could be said to do anything he wanted within the bounds of Mongolian Kingdom.

He actually sent more than 100,000 soldiers to monopolize the treasure. This obviously showed his truly monstrous power and influence!

“Father, how much do you know about this Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir?”

Long Yu inquired about the treasure spot.

Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir was a reservoir that was soon going to give birth to a treasure. Long Yu was getting more and more interested in knowing more about it.

At present, he was very eager to enhance his strength!

“I only know that Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir is a place that experiences thunderclaps and lightning bolts all day long. And this phenomenon gets especially intense before the birth of a treasure. Anyone who dares to step into this place is struck by thunderbolts.

Feng Longsong explained: “This treasure spot is located right at the border of two countries and produces a treasure once in every few years. If not, perhaps no one would bother going to check it out.”

Produces treasure every few years!

Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir!

Long Yu heard about this treasure spot and could not help but think of the lunar mineral lode region from before. Even that place had a history of producing treasures every few years, until he and Liu Yuan seized Heavenly Lunar Tablet from there and rendered that place barren forever.

So, this Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir is also like that?

Until now, he had yet to figure out the role of that monument, but at least, with the help of Nine Hidden Dragon Mark, his demon wings transformed into lunar wings and also got promoted to become a spiritual level battle weapon.

Moreover, this was definitely not the real extent of the tablet’s real power!

“Sovereign Baiyun has said that the Heavenly Lunar Tablet can only be used after stepping into the realm of Man-Heaven unity. Since I already have a magnificent treasure, I don’t need to worry about getting my hands on another one right now.”

Long Yu thought so, however, if he had the opportunity to get another magnificent treasure, of course, he would certainly not hesitate.

This Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir most likely had a piece of Heavenly Tablet buried in it like the Heavenly Lunar Tablet!

…

While carrying the head of Old General Man Yi, both Long Yu and Feng Longsong took a detour in the direction of Tang Guan.

A barbarian, wearing animal skin, leading several Mongolian generals and soldiers, returned to the camp.

This barbaric looking person was Man Xin, son of Old General Man Yi!

After getting the news about his father getting abducted, he stayed silent for a moment while standing at the main gate of the camp gate, without uttering a word.

Other generals were standing on his side, also silent and were not daring to say a word to interrupt the silence.

“Status Report for commander!”

Suddenly, a scout’s voice passed over from afar: “I found the Old General… …”

Man Xin’s wild gaze shifted in the direction of the voice, only to witness his father’s headless body being carried on a wooden stretcher!

“Yu Qianning, you have earned yourself a mortal enemy. This hatred is irreconcilable!”

A light of hatred flashed in his eyes!

“Major General, our Old General was not killed by that woman, but ……..”

An arbitrary senior general, standing next to him, could not help but said aloud to remind Man Xin.

“Shut up, no one knows my father better than I do.”

Man Xin snorted loudly then said: “Call everyone back, you lot cannot kill that Yu Qianning. There’s no need for you people to die in vain! As for that Long Yu ……..He is the only son of my father’s old friend. You must never cause any trouble for him in the future, understood?!”

As his voice fell, a look of remorse appeared in his eyes.

He hated himself for leaving his father and going out to intercept Long Ji!

This battle between two countries was simply sparked by a Mongolian prince, not the other way round. There was never a need to focus more on killing Long Ji in the first place.

Although his decision to intercept Long Ji came out fruitful because now the Major General of enemy troops was seriously injured, however, at what cost? Yes, at the cost of letting a female assassin approaching his father and ultimately causing his death!

He knew his own father’s past very well and was confident in his guess about what exactly happened.

It was that man’s doing. That Chu Chao Sheng, he sent his daughter to assassinate my father!

“It’s a newfound hatred and I am going to pursue it. One day, I will avenge my father!”

There was a confident look in his eyes, along with an ominous flash of hatred.

Then he waved and shouted: “Everyone, strengthen the security, no one shall leave the Great Snow Mountain range! If you find any Tang people trying to cross the Great Snow Mountain, immediately inform me.”

Then, he picked up his father’s corpse and step by step went inside the camp.

Indeed, he appeared wild and barbaric but was actually a reasonable person with an inquisitive thought process. He was not a fool and clearly knew who his real enemy was!

………

The sun was setting in the western sky. Long Yu and Feng Longsong travelled all the way back to the border areas but noticed that Mongolian forces were not chasing them, making them feel somewhat strange.

“I have heard that Old General’s son is a highly talented Major General and quite smart as well.”

Feng Longsong made a speculation: “Perhaps he has figured out something and order his soldiers to not chase us.”

“I believe I’ve seen him earlier in the battlefield.”

Long Yu searched his recent memories and remembered the barbaric looking man. Long Yu never imagined that he would end up having such an indirect relationship with that savage looking man.

Both of their fathers used to great generals, enemies in duty and friends in personal life. What an ironical relationship he had with Man Xin!

In other words, Long Yu’s identity had long been known to Man Xin, which was the reason why Long Yu was ignored by Mongolian soldiers in the battlefield.

Not to mention, both of them had a common enemy and that was Chu Chao Sheng, the current emperor of Tang Kingdom!

“Although I have not yet met him properly, I still am looking forward to meet him in the future…..”

Long Yu thought that perhaps in the future, Man Xin would lend him a helping hand while dealing with Chu Chao Sheng!

Of course, this was something that was way too far in the future.

Even his daughter was too powerful to deal with, right now!

In fact even Baiyun Zong was not an opponent of Chu Chao Sheng which also indicated that he was much stronger Long Yu.

“I forgot to ask, how is this copper sword in your possession?”

They were about to reach Tang Guan and he finally remembered something, could not help but ask.

He remembered clearly that this copper sword was handed over to Feng Yao by Feng Longsong.

Feng Longsong sighed then said: “Small Yao came to Yu Guan City to bid farewell and left this sword with me. I think she has ventured out of Tang Kingdom.”

“She left Tang Kingdom? Where is she headed?”

Long Yu frowned.

His never had any special feelings for her, but whatever might be the case, she was still the daughter of his foster father. He naturally got a bit curious when he heard about her going out of Tang Kingdom.

Feng Yao had considered Liu Yuan as her goal from infancy to maturity. Was she perhaps instigated by what happened in the Ling Clan’s Villa?

Liu Yuan was already a powerhouse of Zhenling second layer and she was still at Wudao eighth layer at the time! Perhaps the shock caused by this disparity was enough to set her in motion.

“Wang Tianzhuo’s cultivation has been destroyed by you, so naturally he won’t cause any trouble for her anymore, but she wants to surpass Liu Yuan and doesn’t want to stay in Tang Kingdom until that happens.”

Feng Longsong sighed again: “Now, I do not know where she is and this worries me….. Small Yu, I know that she is somewhat excessive and has never treated you well but if you meet her in the future, please remember the poor face of your foster father and go easy on her.”

“…..”

Long Yu did not speak.

Feng Yao is somewhat excessive? She sent her servants to kill him! If Nine Hidden Dragon Mark has not activated back then, he would be dead right now!

According to his personality and individuality, he would never have let her live after what she did.

However, thanks to her, he realized that this world was only made for winners!

With the help of Nine Hidden Dragon Mark, he got stronger and triumphed over those who looked down on him. She would find it absolutely impossible to surpass him. Indeed, she would never be a threat to him.

That being the case, he would undoubtedly give face to his foster father and go easy on her.

But, of course, Feng Yao had stopped provoking him so there was no issue in the first place.

“Father, I promise you.”

Long Yu solemnly nodded, followed by raising his head and saw the Grand Canyon appearing in sight.

He and Feng Longsong were going to return with Old General Man Yi’s head. Now, he was curious to see how they would arrange enough evidence to put the charge of ‘treason’ upon them!
