Chapter 18 – [Seal of the Dragons]
Translated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
Half a month ago, everyone knew that he was in the third level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. In half a month he had broken through two levels. This kind of talent has never been seen before in the history of Poplar Town. And if this was the case, if the Yang family founder would not try his best to save Long Chen’s life, then it would be very strange indeed.
Long Chen absolutely believed that his performance today had shocked the hearts of everyone. So what will happen next is he will be the talk of Poplar Town!
This time breaking through to the fifth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm had been surprisingly smooth. Everything had progressed naturally and it had been even easier than going through to the fourth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. The herbal energy from the 2 stalks of Enchanted Hill Ginseng had been completely absorbed by Long Chen. And after only a short minute, that extremely thick and long fifth Dragon Vein, had been broken through!
A dragon’s cry that could shake the earth was heard!
Under the nurturing from the Enchanted Hill Ginseng, his injuries have almost properly been healed. At this point Long Chen stood up abruptly, and everyone had suddenly realised that he right now possessed an intense aura. His eyes were showing an even more lively expression. If he were to compete against Yang Lingyue again, victory would be easy!
“This fellow……He really is going against the heavens……”
Chen Liu who had bullied Long Chen back in the past, quietly hid behind the crowd. His two legs could not stop quivering……
The people, who had once laughed at Long Chen and had given him the cold shoulder, were all swallowing their saliva now, their faces turning pale.
Looking at Long Chen who had broken through to the fifth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, the Yang family founder’s face was impa.s.sive, but deep down inside he was extremely gratified.
Among the crowd, Long Chen had noticed that Yang Lingqing’s gaze was extremely confused.
Long Chen originally thought that the matter was over. He looked at the Yang family founder and just when he was about to obtain the [Seal of the Dragons], at this point, a few members of the Bai family had actually walked up the stage. In their eyes, there was a menacing look.
The Yang family founder was shocked and said: “Sirs, what is the matter?”
Bai Zhanxiong looked at Long Chen with an obvious killing intent. He walked forward and respectfully said to the Yang family founder: “Uncle Yang, your nephew does not want to disturb the intra-family compet.i.tion but there is one issue that we must ask him in order to find out the truth.”
When their gazes fell on Long Chen, he had already known something was wrong.
“Earlier when Lingxi attacked, the sword was revealed, and Bai Shiji had seen the Lingxi sword before, so naturally the description was the same. These 3 people from the Bai family, probably already know I was the one who castrated Bai Shiji!”
At this moment, the Yang family founder looked over, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Right now, Bai Zhanxiong looked at Long Chen coldly and said: “Everyone, my younger son half a month ago has met with an accident; I suppose most of you know a little about it. The attacker was so vicious that I cannot wait to cut him into thousands of pieces!”
“According to Bai Shiji, when he was chasing after a black steel sword. He had unexpectedly met with a masked man who had s.n.a.t.c.hed it away from him, hence ending up in this state. So what I want to say is, earlier the sword which has saved Long Chen, was exactly the same one that my son had described!”
“You rascal, that masked man, that was you!”
“Such a young age but you are already this vicious, what is your true intention!”
Bai Zhanxiong’s interrogation had directed everyone’s gaze towards Long Chen.
The Bai Shiji matter had long since been the talk of Poplar Town. But because the Bai family was the number one superpower in Poplar Town, naturally people only dared to discuss behind closed doors not right in the open.
However they knew that this young man’s, Bai Shiji’s, life had been ruined.
Long Chen silently exclaimed: “If I were to be found out, the Yang family founder might not want to have any disputes with the Bai family and who knows, he might even give up on me. Anyway the opposition does not have any proof, so I shall deny till the point that I die!”
So he raised his head and coldly said: “I don’t even know what you are talking about. Whatever has happened to your son, what does it have to do with me? Also, the weapons under the sky do not differ by so much, so how can you judge that this sword of mine is the same as your son’s?”
Looking at Long Chen who was actually not admitting even if he were to die, Bai Zhanxiong was extremely furious, so he coldly said: “While there may be many weapons that look similar, however the number of swords that have the length of 70 cm, are jet black throughout, have a width of two fingers and have the aspect of a rusted steel sword, is not that many. So do you still want to deny it?”
Long Chen said indifferently: “You have seen that sword earlier, so of course you can describe it so well now. You are a reputable figure in Poplar Town, yet you want to frame a n.o.body such as myself, what is exactly happening?”
Looking at their debate which may never end, the Yang family founder stepped in and said: “Chen Er, do you dare to guarantee that you have never done a thing like this?”
Long Chen nodded his head saying: “Indeed, I haven’t. Even today I don’t know what has happened to his son. Could it be someone broke his hands and legs, or has pierced his dantian?”
Lying in front of the Yang family founder, that requires some guts too. Earlier his performance was commendable, and the Yang family founder was a person who loved talent. So although Bai Zhanxiong had stepped forth, the Yang family founder was still hesitant to hand over the juicy meat, that he had just attained, and let the Bai family do whatever they wish with it, hence that question to Long Chen earlier.
Long Chen too had guessed his intentions, which enabled him to lie blatantly.
After receiving Long Chen’s confirmation, the Yang family founder said to Bai Zhanxiong: “Zhan Er, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. You cannot rashly make a judgment, why don’t you first go back today and tell this to your father. Brother Bai and I are brothers in life and death. Brother Bai will naturally trust me, I will also account to him. As for anything else, there is not much left to be said.”
Right now it was the Yang family intra-family compet.i.tion, so the face of the Yang family founder was the greatest. Poplar Town’s power was split between both families and the situation was complicated, and the Bai family was also preparing for a wedding with the Yang family. Each and every event had caused Bai Zhanxiong to frown, so he could only say: “Since Uncle Yang has already said so I, your nephew, will obey. From the rise of the Yang family, my father has always given enough a.s.sistance. Uncle Yang and my father are like actual brothers, so with Uncle Yang’s decisional abilities, I am rea.s.sured……”
Walking away, he gave Long Chen another cold stare, and left while thinking: “Yang family……Ha ha, this little sc.u.m. Today I will let you off temporarily, but all of you, no matter who, your days are soon to be over. The real overlord of Poplar Town, can only be us the Bai family!”
Bai Zhanxiong walked down the stage, but Bai Shiji had remained. He sent Long Chen a cruel laugh, and then asked the Yang family founder: “Grandfather Yang, in that demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion, will he be partic.i.p.ating?”
The Yang family founder’s gaze had concentrated, but he did not reply, as he knew this fellow in front of him was giving him a warning. If Long Chen were to join the demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion, naturally there won’t be a good ending for him.
Shortly after, Bai Shiji walked up to Long Chen and coldly said: “A while later there will be a demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion. You had better not partic.i.p.ate, if not your little life will most likely be gone.”
Then he exerted the aura of the seventh level of the Dragon Pulse Realm fully.
“Trying to scare me into submission huh……”
This Bai Shiji’s eyes were full of provocation. Long Chen laughed coldly, because he already knows that his next opponent will most likely have to be him.
