Dragon War God

Chapter 750 – Princess of the Demon Clan

Under the nourishment of Long Chen’s dragon blood, the girl’s body was starting to revert back to its original state at a rate visible to the naked eye. It looked bizarre, resembling Long Chen’s Rewind technique, though its effects were not as fast. The girl only fully reverted to her original state after about fifteen minutes.

Her attitude towards Long Chen changed from panic and aversion to gratitude and worship. When she was completely healed, she gazed at him with her watery eyes and gratitude. Her pink lips slowly opened, as if she had a lot to say to thank him but did not know how.

“Let’s talk when we get out,” said Long Chen.

“But ... After I get out, I’ll return to my previous state. I don’t want to ...” the girl said timidly in a low voice.

Long Chen had already asked Little Cat about it.

“Don’t worry. You’ll maintain this state for at least ten days. Do you trust me?” Long Chen pretended to be serious.

“I do ...” she said timidly.

Long Chen smiled warmly and went up to the shore first. The girl followed and peered at him curiously, also returning to the shore. At the bottom of an emerald-green boulder, Long Chen turned around to look at the beautiful but shy girl. To be honest, she had a pure and fairy-like quality to her. Although she was young, he could tell that she would be a beautiful woman when she grew up.

After she stabilized herself, he asked, “What is your name?”

She pursed her lips and tugged at the corners of her clothing, answering, “Su ... Suyan.” Long Chen had just forced her to drink his blood, resulting in the healing of a condition that should have been impossible to heal. This left a deep impression on her. In the beginning, she was furious at him because he might have seen her body, but now she was only grateful and curious about him.

“Suyan?” Long Chen memorized her name, then he asked, “How did you get injured? Who did this to you?”

Long Chen was very curious about such a bizarre technique.

“I ... I don’t know who it was.” Suyan grew anxious at the question, likely because it made her remember a terrifying event.

“Tell me specifically what happened,” said Long Chen.

Long Chen had a certain regalness to him that made Suyan dare not refuse him. She nodded and said, “Previously, I was in this area when a few strange people appeared. I couldn’t see their faces clearly. One of them said I was very pretty, then a woman grew mad. She touched me gently, then said ... She said ...”

“What did she say?” Long Chen furrowed his brows. Based on what Suyan had described, those people must have had high cultivation levels. Long Chen thought for a moment. Even Feng Zhilin and the others do not have a technique like that, right? Could the attackers have been masters at the Heavenly Martial Realm? But how could there be so many Heavenly Martial Realm masters in the Ancient Graveyard?

“She said I will age within a day and turn into white bones. Then she said she’ll see if I can still be pretty ...” Suyan’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

“Little Cat, what do you think?” Long Chen asked after a pause.

“How would I know?” Little Cat rolled his eyes.

Long Chen could not figure it out either. He asked, “Did you see how many people there were?”

“About six people ...” she said softly.

“You’re a Seventh Earthly Martial Stage cultivator. Were you able to gauge their cultivation levels?”

“I don’t know. But ... I think that even if they were at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, it should’ve been impossible for me to at least put up a fight. I could not see their faces clearly. Their strength was deeper than I am able to gauge, like my father,” said Suyan, cocking her head to think.

Her fear had calmed with Long Chen by her side, as she had seen evidence that she did not age anymore after Long Chen fed her his blood. Now that she saw she could be saved, her panic calmed a little.

Long Chen now roughly guessed who those people were. Before he came to the Ancient Graveyard, he kept feeling like the Ancient Graveyard had some puppet masters behind the curtain. Those people were likely from the Three Royal Territories, and they surely had a way to get there!

However, why did these people from the Royal Territories want to organize the game of the Ancient Graveyard? Long Chen could not figure this out. Of course, that was not what he cared about most. He was most concerned about learning the way to get to the Royal Territories from the mysterious people.

The Three Royal Territories were his true destination.

Previously, he had sworn that he would find Ling Xi in ten years. Only a bit over a year had gone by, and he realized it was possible to get to the Royal Territories soon.

He felt excited when he thought about it.

Based on what had happened to the girl, he assumed that there were some bad actors behind the curtains of the Ancient Graveyard. The Nine Great Clans did not completely control the Ancient Graveyard. At the same time, he also knew that it was possible that these people were nearby, though Long Chen did not dare search for them openly. Based on Suyan’s experience, he could tell that they were vicious and violent.

“Hey, brat, I’d like to remind you not to be too rash or emotional. If you want to talk to those people, you’d best increase your cultivation level first. To be honest, you don’t even have the right to speak to them before you reach the Heavenly Martial Realm.”

Little Cat’s words woke him up.

Long Chen took a deep breath and slowly straightened out his thoughts. However, he was still baffled. What were those people doing in the Ancient Graveyard? If they were drooling after some treasure in the Ancient Graveyard, why hadn’t they taken the treasures directly? Why would they send cultivators from the Ten Thousand Nations Territory inside every ten years? What was their true intention?

Long Chen could not figure it out.

He now understood that those whose Ancient Tokens had not turned golden in a year’s time would be cleared off by the people behind the curtains, since they would be left behind in the Ancient Graveyard.

“Big Brother, what are you thinking ...” Suyan asked curiously when she saw that Long Chen was silent. She was no longer afraid of him. She walked up to him quietly and stood in front of him, peering at him curiously.

Long Chen woke up and looked at the girl. He thought of what she previously said and asked, “Suyan, you said that their cultivation levels were too deep to be gauged, like your father’s. Who is your father?”

Long Chen knew that a father who could raise a daughter like her was surely no simple figure. He was likely a famous master in the Ancient Graveyard.

She thought for a moment but chose to trust him and said, “My father is the clan leader of the Demon clan, Bai Lan. You may know him. He’s in Heavenly Wood City, not far from here. I ... I originally thought I’d never get to go back again ...”

The Demon clan leader?

How coincidental.

Long Chen was slightly surprised, but it made sense. He had been able to raise his daughter to almost the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. Once she reached Feng Zhilin’s age, she would likely be at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage or above. Only people like clan leaders could achieve this.

Bai Lan.

Long Chen had finally learned the name of the Demon clan leader, a cultivator who had long reached the Heavenly Martial Realm. In that case, the girl’s full name was Bai Suyan.

Many thoughts popped into his mind when he heard her father’s identity. It was imperative for him to go to Heavenly Wood City, and Little Cat had said that out of the three major factions, Long Chen and the Divine Wind Faction were archnemeses, while the Gold clan of the Five Element Alliance would also come looking for him because he had taken their Profound Golden Soul. The only faction he had not offended was the Thunder Demon Faction. If Long Chen wanted to kill the Divine clan’s young master, having the ability to kill him was not enough. He needed to be strong enough to go against the whole Divine Wind Faction.

That was why he had to form a good relationship with the Thunder Demon Faction, or at least get to know them. Wasn’t this girl the bridge that would lead him to them?

Long Chen had not expected to meet the little princess of the Demon clan in a place like this, even successfully saving her. He also had to continue helping her. In the beginning, he thought it would be quite troublesome after saving her, but it would be no trouble at all if she was also going to Heavenly Wood City.

“Uh ... Big Brother, how do I address you?” Suyan asked.

“My name is Long Chen,” he said.

“Oh ... Then I’ll call you ‘Brother Chen.’” Suyan beamed a mesmerizing smile at him.

“You may call me ‘Big Brother,’” said Long Chen with a smile. Ling Xi was the one who called him “Brother Chen.” He was not used to other people calling him that. Suyan reminded him of the quirky Huangfu Qi, and he saw her as his little sister. Since Huangfu Qi called him “Big Brother,” Suyan could do the same, as she was almost the same as her.

There was a flash of anxiety in her eyes, then she mustered up her courage to ask, “Big Brother, I’d like to ask a question... You said I would only maintain this state for ten days. Will I die in ten days? I ...” Suyan’s tears started to well up again when she thought about death.

He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. You won’t die. I let you drink my blood just now. For the next hundred days, I will let you drink my blood once every ten days. Then you will recover fully.”
