Dragon War God

Chapter 897 – Category Seven Emperor-tier

There were many more items in Zhao Kongming’s storage ring, such as the Nine Hells Finger. The Killing God Sutra was not inside, so Long Chen guessed that the Underworld Soldiers strictly controlled the flow of information regarding advanced combat techniques. Therefore, material for techniques like that were not freely available.

As Long Chen’s strength increased, the Primordial Realm grew larger. Zhao Kongming’s belongings did not take up much space there. After taking his belongings, Long Chen burned his corpse to destroy the evidence. If it was discovered that he had killed an Underworld Soldier, it would be a tragedy for him.

There were ninety million Underworld Soldiers, and Zhao Kongming was the weakest type. Based on what the six demons had said, there were likely many Divine Martial Realm cultivators within their ranks. If Long Chen fought them, it would be like striking a rock with an egg.

Let’s hope Xiong Jun will be fine. At least I have avenged him. Long Chen checked on Xiong Jun in the Primordial Realm. He was still unconscious.

If I send him back to the Barbaric Bear Tribe while he is unconscious, it won’t be easy for me to explain myself. Let’s wait until he’s awake.

There were many spiritual herbs and pills in Zhao Kongming’s storage ring. Long Chen found a light-green pill that radiated life force. It was likely a pill that was important for treating injuries.

“That’s a Revitalization Pill. It can treat injuries. It looks like Zhao Kongming has many, so just feed them to the kid,” said Little Cat with a yawn. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright!”

Long Chen nodded and fed Xiong Jun the Revitalization Pill. Then he lifted the muscular teenager’s head and used his essence to help him cultivate the pill. After half a day and digesting three Revitalization Pills, Xiong Jun’s color improved, and he slowly regained consciousness.

However, what Zhao Kongming had taken away could never be taken back. Every teenager had a dream about the Martial Path, but Xiong Jun would have to face a very brutal reality.

Although his external wounds were healed, he could not fight for the moment. He needed to rest for a very long time before his injuries healed completely.

Xiong Jun’s eyes opened. When he saw Long Chen in front of him, he was confused.

“Am I dead?” Xiong Jun asked, stunned.

“I’ll take you back to the Barbaric Bear Tribe. We can talk on the way.” Long Chen lifted the muscular teenager and placed him on his shoulder. In the beginning, they did not talk. Xiong Jun looked around, then he pinched himself and confirmed that he was not dead yet.

“Where’s Zhao Kongming? Didn’t he want to take my Barbaric Body?” he asked hoarsely.

“Let’s not talk about him. I’ve taken you out of Scarlet Water City. After you get back, you just need to cultivate with peace of mind. Once you heal, you can still become strong.”

“Oh.” Xiong Jun nodded. Although this was a traumatic event to him and he had suffered huge losses, it had allowed him to grow.

“Thank you.”

Long Chen had rescued him from Scarlet Water City, making it the third time he had saved Xiong Jun’s life. However, he was a little puzzled. Considering Long Chen’s strength, how had he rescued him from Zhao Kongming?

And where was Zhao Kongming now?

Xiong Jun had many questions.

Long Chen had been to the Barbaric Bear Tribe before, so it didn’t take long to get there. It was located on a large piece of flat land there with fertile resources and thick Royal Qi. It was a good place to cultivate.

When they arrived, alert members of the tribe rushed out with surging essence and fierce glares directed at Long Chen. When they saw Long Chen carrying Xiong Jun, they were shocked and asked, “Young Master Xiong Jun, what happened? Weren’t you taken in by the Underworld Soldier as a disciple?”

Xiong Jun replied, “Let’s talk about that later. Is my father here?”

The other few people stuttered, as if there were certain things they could not say because Long Chen was there. Long Chen then spotted a familiar girl—the tall and beautiful Xiong Wan’er. She initially thought she would never get to meet Long Chen again, and when she saw him, she ran over excitedly, though it turned to shock when she saw Xiong Jun’s condition.

“Jun’er, what happened ...”

“We’ll talk inside,” said Xiong Jun.

Xiong Wan’er led them into the village. The tribesmen were tall and muscular, and even the women were tall. Long Chen was a stranger, so he quickly attracted a lot of attention. He had previously rescued many of the youths, so very soon, news of him saving them spread to the whole village. The tribesmen’s gazes quickly turned very friendly.

Along the way, Xiong Jun told Xiong Wan’er what had happened in a low voice.

After she heard him, she furrowed her brow and said, “Brother Long Chen, I’ll take you guys to a place to rest.”

Xiong Wan’er and Xiong Jun were relatively highly ranked in the tribe, and Long Chen did not see many older men around. There were about three thousand people in the tribe.

They sat in a house made of stone blocks, and after Xiong Jun finished telling his story, Xiong Wan’er inspected him for injuries with great concern. Tears of heartache welled up in her eyes.

“Sister, don’t cry. I’m fine. I’ll be alright after some rest. Brother Long Chen is the one you should check. He’s the one who rescued me.”

Xiong Wan’er was about to kneel in front of Long Chen, but Long Chen had reached the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage and was stronger than she was. He activated his domain so that she could not kneel.

“Brother Long Chen, thank you so much. You aren’t injured, are you?”

Long Chen looked very energetic and not injured at all.

He smiled and shook his head. “I’m fine.”

He looked at Xiong Jun and said, “Rest well. Don’t fight for the moment. I have ten Revitalization Pills here. They’ll be good for your injuries.”

As he spoke, he placed the ten light-green Revitalization Pills in Xiong Jun’s hand.

“Revitalization Pills? Aren’t these only distributed to Underworld Soldiers? Why do you have them? You can’t get these anywhere else ...” Xiong Wan’er gasped with surprise.

“Unless you killed Zhao Kongming ...” Both of them looked at him, stunned.

Long Chen smiled and said, “Don’t overthink it. How could I kill someone on Zhao Kongming’s level? Use the pills well. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”

After taking Xiong Jun home, he had completed his mission.

“No ...” The siblings could not bear to see Long Chen leave so soon after he arrived. However, Long Chen was determined to leave, and they had no choice.

When Long Chen stood up, there was a sudden commotion outside and the trio hurried out. They saw a dozen or so large men covered in blood running into the tribe, shouting. Based on their outfits, these were also Barbaric Bear tribesmen.

“Warriors at the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage and above, come out! A fierce beast has appeared in the mines. It’s very difficult to deal with, so we need everyone to help!” the blood-covered men shouted.

Many middle-aged men ran out of the stone houses, including a fit old man who clearly had a high cultivation level. The tiny Barbaric Bear Tribe had about a dozen Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators and a Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage old man.

A man with a lot of blood on his shoulder rushed to the old man. “Elder Shi! A feral beast has appeared in the Emperor Crystal mine. The Patriarch and the others need more assistance and requested your help!”

The old man’s gaze changed when he heard the news. He immediately led the crowd out of the tribe. When he passed Long Chen, he suddenly stopped.

“Jun’er, aren’t you under the Underworld Soldier’s mentorship now? Why did you come back?” The old man was cultivating when Xiong Jun arrived, so they had decided not to interrupt him.

“Elder Shi, what mine are they talking about? An Emperor Crystal mine?” Xiong Jun asked, not answering his question.

Xiong Wan’er hurriedly explained, “When we were at Scarlet Water City, our tribesmen discovered an Emperor Crystal mine in Alligator Mountain. Father and the other elders are there.”

“And who is this?” This was the tribe’s secret, so Elder Shi gave Long Chen a death glare when he noticed that Long Chen could hear them.

“Elder Shi, this is Brother Long Chen. He saved my life three times. Your grandchild was once rescued by him too. The only reason I returned safely was because of him. Go check on the beast, hurry,” said Xiong Jun hurriedly, seeing as this was an emergency.

“This is the guy who saved you?” Elder Shi eyed Long Chen up and down. Long Chen was clearly a young man at the Third or Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage, so his cultivation level was similar to that of Xiong Jun and the others. Therefore, this youth couldn’t be as miraculous as what Xiong Jun and the others described. Elder Shi suspected that Long Chen was using some trick and scheming something.

“Considering your cultivation level, how could you have saved them? I think you’re pulling some trick, brat! Are you eyeing the Barbaric Bear Tribe’s Emperor Crystal mine? Don’t you dare!” Elder Shi glared at Long Chen coldly. With Long Chen here, he did not dare leave recklessly.

“Elder Shi, hurry! The Patriarch said that the feral beast is likely a Category Seven Emperor-tier beast. He needs you to help them defeat it!” cried another man in a panic.
