Chapter 69 – Green FactionTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA

Long Chen ran towards the stable to have a look. As expected, the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse was on the ground, collapsed. Blood flowed out from its mouth as it looked helplessly at Long Chen. With but a glance, it was obvious that it had sustained severe internal injuries. At this moment, it was struggling whilst at death’s door.

Looking at his beloved horse in such pain, Long Chen eyes gradually reddened.

“Huang Xiang……”

His fists were clenched so tightly that the veins on his arms were bulging. When the crowd that followed him out of the restaurant saw his current state, they instantly kept silent out of fear.

Seeing the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse’s fatal internal injuries and was in its death throes, Long Chen thought back to when Lingqing had given this Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse to him.

That girl had risked her life to stay a night in the Big Barren Mountain in order to tame this horse. She was covered in dirt when she gave this Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse to him. Long Chen had been taking great care of it in the last couple of days, fearing that it might get hurt, but now……

Thinking back to Huang Xiang’s sneering face, Long Chen was already filled with a murderous intent towards him.

“This is the first gift that Lingqing has given me and possibly the most important gift of my life, excluding the Dragon Jade my father gave to me, but……..”

Thinking about Lingqing, that silly girl, Long Chen was filled with guilt.

“Lingqing, I didn’t protected your gift properly. I’ve let you down, but I’ll avenge it…….”

Raising his head and facing Yuanling City, Long Chen gaze gradually turned icy, an expression that was as cold as the blade of a sword.

“Huang Xiang, initially I didn’t plan on killing you, but you just sought out your death. Don’t blame me for it!”

Long Chen walked towards the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse, seeing its suffering, Long Chen was extremely reluctant but he gave it a fatal blow, ending its misery.

Looking at the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse who had accompanied him these past few days, Long Chen shook his head and sighed. He turned around seizing the waiter of the inn before he coldly said: “I’ll give you 300 pieces of spirit jades to bury my horse in the outskirts of the citadel. I’ll be coming back to Yuanyang Citadel and if at that time I find out that my horse didn’t have a good burial, I will end your pathetic dog like existence!”

Seeing Long Chen’s vicious gaze, the waiter was frightened to the point that his legs started to shake, before he managed to hastily agree. “I..I will definitely give it a grand burial!”

Those 300 pieces of spirit jades were enough to bury the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse a dozen times over.

After giving him that task, Long Chen didn’t stay at Yuanyang Citadel and headed in the direction that Huang Xiang had left. The place they were heading to was Yuanling City!

“Hey, are you thinking of killing them along the way?”

Long Chen smiled coldly and replied: “Don’t worry, I won’t be reckless. I won’t make a move when I don’t have confidence in dealing with him. Right now, I don’t know where the Lingwu Family is located, but with Huang Xiang leading the way, I can avoid travelling the wrong route!”

Long Chen didn’t lose his rationality due to his hatred, so Lingxi heaved a sigh of relief before admonishing: “That fellow is such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. If he can’t get the thing he wants, he will destroy it? After my strength recovers, I’ll chop him up into eight pieces to avenge Xiao Hei. From how I see it, he isn’t worthy to be called Huang Xiang, his name should be s.h.i.t instead!”

[TL Note: Xiao Hei means Little Black: referring to the

Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse]

Lingxi had taken quite a liking to the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse during this short period of time. Seeing that the Ebony Scaled Dragon Horse died in such a terrible manner, she was filled with fury to the point that she spoke profanity.

Long Chen knew that it was almost noon when he left, but he didn’t know how much earlier Huang Xiang had left. However, Huang Xiang was travelling by horse while Long Chen was moving at his maximum speed, heading towards Yuanling City. In comparison with Huang Xiang’s speed, he was a couple of times faster.

As time gradually pa.s.sed, the journey that was supposed to take two days was completed in only one and a half days. Long Chen could see the figures of Huang Xiang and the rest from a distance.

Furthermore, the legendary Yuanling City entered his view, which was grand and imposing!

When he saw the city, Long Chen was utterly stupefied.

He raised his head and rubbed his eyes, checking to confirm that what he saw wasn’t a mountain range but a city that was so vast that he couldn’t see its edge.

Yuanling City was covered in clouds so he could just barely make out its edges, but even so, Long Chen was in complete shock over the sheer enormity of Yuanling City!

Long Chen had heard from Chen Xiongzhou that the distance between the east to the west of Yuanling City was a thousand miles. It could be understood how vast Yuanling City was from that!

“It is not a surprise that it can accommodate 100 million people. So this Yuanling City is actually this huge!”

Even if it was Yuanyang Citadel, in front of Yuanling City, it was as if a small chicken met with oxen and horses, which was not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Huang Xiang’s party had already left, heading towards the cloud and mist covered city. Long Chen didn’t dare tarry, and hurriedly tried to catch up with them.

There were a great number of people entering and exiting the city. Long Chen looked from afar at the densely packed crowd. Amongst them, the majority of them were cultivators who were much more powerful than Long Chen. They were experts that made Long Chen felt suffocated, yet they could be seen everywhere!
