Chapter 52 – Reverse Scale Of A DragonTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
From the Burning Heavens Mountain Plains to Big Barren Mountain, Long Chen had already travelled for a day.
Very soon he reached Big Barren Mountain and realised that there seemed to be no changes. This showed that the Soul Diffusion Fruits had not ripened yet and the battle between the Bai and the Yang family had not started. Only then did Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thankfully the Soul Diffusion Fruits have not ripened yet. Lingxi, next time if there is something as important as this, if you aren’t too sure, I beg of you to clarify……”
“I know already! You’re so long-winded!”
Long Chen then stopped his nagging and thinking of the Soul Diffusion Fruit which was ripening soon, the Yang Family members should be very nervous during this time. It was of vital importance for Long Chen to regroup with Founder Yang and discuss the matter of the Soul Diffusion Fruits.
Very soon, Long Chen entered Poplar Town and found that there were much fewer people on the streets. It was not as bustling as before and although everything was rather serene, Long Chen sensed that it was the calm before the storm.
Even if the Yang Family had become the prefecture of Poplar Town, the Bai Family still had two experts of the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm which meant that their strength was still a little stronger than the Yang Family.
And right now, the Lingwu Family people had already left and the Bai Family was unwilling to admit defeat. Many of the people in Poplar Town knew that the two families, which were originally so close, had now turned into arch enemies and there would most likely be a huge battle for power!
This was why there were few people on the streets, which turned Poplar Town into a rather quiet town.
Soon, Long Chen saw the huge doors of the Yang residence. However, there were about a dozen guards at the door and they all had nervous expressions. Long Chen suddenly had a bad premonition and accelerated his footsteps.
At this point, the guards saw him and one went back to report the news. As for the others, they came forward and said: “Young Master Chen, Founder Yang said to look for him immediately once you returned!”
Their anxious expressions caused Long Chen to feel even more worried so he practically ran into the residence. Soon, Founder Yang and the rest of the family met him and, seeing the steely expression on Founder Yang’s face, Long Chen knew that something was amiss. He scanned everyone’s faces and saw that they all had their brows knitted and saddened expressions on their faces. It was only then he noticed that Yang Xueqing was not amongst them!
“Grandfather, where’s my mother?!”
Seeing that Long Chen’s expression had turned into one of fury, Founder Yang grabbed his arms and then pulled him to take a seat on a stone stool beside him. Founder Yang then said: “Chen Er, I’ll tell you, but you better not act rashly because there is still a method to salvage the situation……”
A blood red aura leaked out of Long Chen’s eyes because from Founder Yang’s words, he already 100 percent confirmed that something had happened to Yang Xueqing!
Although the relationship between the both of them was still complicated, Long Chen would still never allow anyone to hurt her!
Only after hearing that Founder Yang said that there was a way to save her, Long Chen coldly said: “Grandfather, tell me, I am not a rash person. Tell me everything that happened and I will listen to your opinion before taking action!”
Founder Yang nodded his head and there was a mix of sadness and anger in his expression, he said: “It happened yesterday. Yang Xueqing continued to leave Poplar Town on her own but she was discovered by the two old geezers from the Bai Family. Right now, she has been captured and brought back to the Bai residence! Don’t worry, they haven’t killed her yet so there is still a chance! Chen Er, blame me, your grandfather, for being useless. I went to the Bai Family and even fought both of the brothers but I was alone so obviously I wasn’t their match! However, I can a.s.sure you that your mother is doing fine!”
So things had actually turned out this way?
Just recently, he wanted to forgive Yang Xueqing and thought that he would protect this woman in the future, but after leaving for only a little while she was actually kidnapped! To Long Chen, this was a provocation that raised his fury so high that it could burn the heavens!
Ever since Long Chen killed Bai Zhanxiong, Yang Xueqing frequently visited Long Qinglan’s grave. At that time, Long Chen did not think much of it but he would never have thought because of this that Yang Xueqing was kidnapped!
“Kidnapping my mother, yet not killing her. Bai Family, although I don’t know what you are trying to achieve, but if my mother comes to any harm I, Long Chen, will drink your blood and devour your flesh!”
Thinking of Yang Xueqing, his rage slowly built up inside of him and the blood red aura slowly crept up to the top of his head. Seeing Long Chen’s current appearance, the Yang Family members all kept quiet out of fear!
“This won’t do! My mother is still in their hands and the Bai Family hate me down right to the bones. If I were to waste any more time, who knows what might happen to my mother! If something did, even if I kill all of the Bai Family members, nothing can be salvaged!”
Thinking so, Long Chen viciously raised his head and looked at Founder Yang saying: “Grandfather, I wasn’t around earlier and let misfortune befall my mother. This is all my fault! Now that I’m back……I’ll bring the fight to the Bai Family!”
Founder Yang also had this plan in mind and, thinking that they would definitely battle for the Soul Diffusion Fruit, the fact that his daughter was in their hands made him extremely worried. Although he believed that Long Chen wasn’t Bai Li’s match, he coldly said: “Chen Er, this time let us make a trip there together. I want to see how the Bai Family can handle this grandfather and grandson duo! Qingxuan, you defend the residence of the Yang Family, and while I’m not around and something happens to the Yang Family, I will make you account for it!”
Founder Yang and Long Chen wanted to go to the Bai residence to fight and if there were no experts to hold the fort in the Yang residence, who knows if something might happen. Although Yang Qingxuan had very much wanted to go with them, for the sake of everyone else he still nodded his head. At this point, Long Chen had already rushed out with Founder Yang.
All of the Yang Family members clenched their fists tightly and watched their disappearing figures.
At this point Yang Yuntian, who had been frowning, saw the similarly furrowed brows on Yang Qingxuan and bitterly said: “Big Brother, both of the Bai Brothers are a good sixty years older than Long Chen. With sixty years more of battle experience, how could he be a match for them? Will our Yang Family perish this time?”
Yang Qingxuan shook his head and said: “I too am not sure. Let heaven decide their fate……”
