Chapter 1549: The Dragonblood Legion Descends

After giving Yue Zifeng something, Zheng Wenlong directly left. Everyone wondered what the meaning behind that action was.

Yue Zifeng opened the case and saw an emerald leaf flowing with light. Yue Zifeng only glanced at it before putting it away.

The instant that he opened the case, practically everyone’s divine sense stretched out to see what was inside. However, when they saw it was just a leaf, they retracted it.

Yue Zifeng’s expression didn’t change, but waves were surging in his heart. Something had happened to Long Chen, so he was unable to come on time.

There were still two hours until noon, the official start of the Dragon Slaughtering Convention. He had to stall them until Long Chen could get here.

Time pa.s.sed bit by bit. Sha Guangyan and the others were waiting patiently at first, but as time ticked down, they saw that Long Chen’s side still only had Yue Zifeng’s group of five.

Although quite a few others had gone over to Yue Zifeng’s side, Yue Zifeng had gracefully turned them down, telling them to retreat. His reason was simple: when a battle started, they should make sure to maintain a safe distance.

The time arrived. Long Chen and the Dragonblood Legion never showed up, causing Sha Guangyan to grow uneasy.

After all, he was the host of the Dragon Slaughtering Convention. If Long Chen didn’t come, then this convention would have been held for nothing.

Suddenly, the noon bell struck, but Long Chen still didn’t appear. Everyone looked at each other. Could it be that Long Chen really didn’t dare to come and was allowing Sha Guangyan to kill his steed?

“Don’t worry, my boss will quickly arrive. He already sent me a message that he’s on his way.” Yue Zifeng took out a communication talisman.

Sha Guangyan didn’t have any ideas at the moment. Everyone was just looking at each other. He stealthily asked Yan Weishan what to do.

“Wait.”

Yan Weishan’s reply was curt. The Dragon Slaughtering Convention’s target was Long Chen. If Long Chen didn’t come, then why would it still be called the Dragon Slaughtering Convention?

“Hmph, is Long Chen afraid to come? Fine, since he’s on the way, we’ll wait,” announced Sha Guangyan.

Everyone closed their eyes and began to wait once more. However, no matter how long they waited, the person they were waiting for never appeared.

“Yue Zifeng, will Long Chen come or not? It’s already been a full day and night!” Finally, an ancient race expert lost his patience.

If he was late, then just a few hours should have been enough. But it had been a full day.

“My boss just messaged me that he’s sitting on a transportation formation to the Eastern Xuan Region. He should be here shortly,” said Yue Zifeng.

“He’s only just arriving in the Eastern Xuan Region? Impossible! What communication talisman can reach across the regions?” People’s suspicions were raised.

“Who said my boss was across regions?” sneered Yue Zifeng, but inside, he grumbled. When it came to lying, he should let Guo Ran do it. He wasn’t an expert in this and had instantly said something that exposed himself.

He had forgotten that for normal communication talismans, their largest range would only be one region, and they would lose effect across regions. He had actually created such a large opening in his lies.

Inside, he was also anxious. How was it that Long Chen had still yet to arrive? Just what had happened?

“Perhaps he’s in some minor world. Let’s keep waiting!” said Yan Weishan. He was also growing impatient, but there was no way around this. If Long Chen didn’t come, then just killing Yue Zifeng and the others was meaningless.

“Since Long Chen’s coming late, he should pay a price. Let’s slaughter this brute. Its blood will definitely be very fresh,” said the Corrupt expert, Jin Mingwei. He licked his lips with his bright red tongue.

A powerful fist smashed toward him. The Xuan Beasts’ Hu Xiaolin had actually attacked him.

Jin Mingwei hadn’t expected such a sudden attack. Seeing this huge fist coming at him, the blood runes circulating around him suddenly lit up, forming a huge barrier.

BOOM!

The barrier exploded, filling the air with blood runes that looked like countless blood leeches. In the end, they returned to Jin Mingwei’s body.

Hu Xiaolin’s attack and Jin Mingwei’s block had occurred in just an instant. Both of them were blown back by the other’s power.
