Chapter 653: Returning to Martial Overlord City



Chapter 653: Returning to Martial Overlord City

“Xiaolang, you don’t need to be too worried. We are traveling as fast as we can, but she isn’t. That’s why we should be able to arrive in Martial Overlord City before she does. With her loud personality, we’ll easily notice her when she arrives,” reminded Long Chen, calming himself down.

Xiaolang nodded, but he did not slow down.

A city appeared in front of them. It was a considerably large city, but Long Chen did not know what city it was.

“Let’s stop for a while.”

Long Chen instructed Xiaolang to stop, then he quickly went to the city to look for a representative of the Red Souls. A large city like this was likely to have Red Souls members. The Red Souls were an organization of assassins led by Chi Ying, but after Chi Ying joined the Dragon clan, he basically served the Dragon clan. Under Long Yue’s leadership, the Red Souls became several times stronger and larger. It was now a large network spanning the Divine Martial Empire.

After finding the Red Souls representative, Long Chen said to her, “Find a few cultivators above the Seventh Passage Stage to base permanently in Lingering Wind City and protect Huangfu Fengchen secretly.”

“Seventh Master, are you sure it was Huangfu Fengchen?” the pretty girl asked with surprise.

Long Chen nodded and said, “Huangfu Fengchen has lost his cultivation, and he is currently living in Lingering Wind City. Send a few people to protect him in secret, but don’t disturb his daily life.”

“Alright, I’ll do it now!” The lady knew not to ask too many questions if they were unnecessary. All she had to do was obey.

After making these arrangements, Long Chen felt much more assured. The next thing to do was to focus on dealing with Lady Xuan.

“Elder Brother, that was a good decision. The Huangfu patriarch has lost his cultivation, and without anyone to protect him, something could happen to him.” Xiaolang was previously anxious to leave, so he had not thought of it at all.

Long Chen nodded. After they left the city, they went towards the Martial Overlord City. This time, they traveled at full speed too. Huangfu Qi’s life was in danger, every second they wasted could lead to her death.

Her life was fully in Long Chen’s hands. Although he was furious and frustrated, he had no choice but to force himself to calm down. His greatest strength had always been being able to remain calm in a crisis. Only a clear mind could bring him victory!

Long Chen spent another five days traveling from Lingering Wind City to Martial Overlord City. When he saw the vast Martial Overlord City far ahead, he finally sighed in relief because the city still looked quite peaceful. It was very early in the morning, so there were very few people on the streets. However, the security at the gates was strict.

It was difficult for people without proper identification to enter.

Of course, Long Chen chose to sneak inside this time.

Less than a month had passed since he was last here. Long Chen did not expect to return.

Coincidentally, both times he came here was to rescue someone.

Very few people were out and about. Long Chen had Willow Step, which allowed him to travel with light footsteps. He entered the outer city without making a single sound, then he used the same method to sneak into the inner city. There were even fewer people in the inner city. Relying on the Soul Swallowing Gaze, he rushed into a family’s home, then used the Control technique of his Soul Swallowing Gaze on all of them.

This was likely the house of some high-level official of the Martial Alliance. That high-level official was not in, and the rest of them were only at the Heavenly Passage Stage at most. Therefore, they could not resist Long Chen’s Soul Swallowing Gaze at all.

Long Chen walked around in the house casually, relying on Control so that all of them thought it was natural for him to do this, thinking he was one of them.

No one sensed anything wrong.

After talking to them, Long Chen learned that nothing had happened in Martial Overlord City during the past few days. The only thing that made Long Chen suspicious was that the missing Zhao Danchen had not returned to Martial Overlord City.

“Why didn’t that guy return?” asked Mo Xiaolang.

“Could there be conflict between him and the Martial Overlord? After getting the Ancient Demon Corpse, could he be afraid that the Martial Overlord would want it? Right, the Huangfu patriarch said that the Myriad Earth Essence can regenerate an arm. I’ve torn off one of his arms, so why didn’t he return to get the Myriad Earth Essence?” Long Chen said after analyzing the situation.

“This means that the relationship between Zhao Danchen and Zhao Wuji isn’t as simple as we think. It is likely they have their own conflicts too. It’s no wonder Zhao Wuji and Zhao Danchen didn’t attack the Dragon clan together yet. This could be one of the reasons,” said Mo Xiaolang.

He was able to draw this conclusion based on a small, suspicious act.

“If Zhao Danchen is not here, we will just have to take advantage of the chaos when the Martial Overlord and Lady Xuan start fighting. Lady Xuan doesn’t have the Primordial Realm. As long as I put Qi Qi in the Primordial Realm and use Blood Warp, we should succeed.”

“Mhm!” Mo Xiaolang also thought that this was the only way.

The plan was set, so all they had to do was wait. During this time, Long Chen gathered more information. Using the Control technique of the Soul Swallowing Gaze, he learned everything that the average Martial Overlord City resident knew. Just as he expected, the relationship between Zhao Danchen and Zhao Wuji was not as peaceful as he had imagined. It was even likely that they saw each other as enemies.

That is good news for us … thought Long Chen. He had learned of this by asking someone under the effect of the Soul Swallowing Gaze.

The Soul Swallowing Gaze is very useful. I don’t know what level this combat technique is for it to work so miraculously. Both Sight and Control are very helpful techniques. I haven’t used the Soul Swallowing Gaze to its maximum yet though. I wonder what other surprises it holds.

When he thought about the Soul Swallowing Gaze, he thought about Li Xuanji, then Yang Lingqing.

Li Xuanji should be from the Royal Territory. Why was she trapped in the Lingwu family’s Star Devil Prison? If she could give me the Soul Swallowing Gaze so casually, she must have a powerful background! I wonder how she compares to Xiao Xi.

And Lingqing … When he thought about that resilient little girl, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

He had not been home for a long time.

Suddenly, they heard a commotion outside.

Long Chen had chosen a location close to Martial Overlord Palace, which was where the Martial Overlord was. If a commotion broke out at the palace, he would surely notice it. Just like right now. A crowd had formed outside, so they both rushed outdoors to join the crowd to watch the commotion.

“It’s her!” Long Chen squinted when he saw the woman floating in the air.

A graceful woman wearing white clothing and a face veil floated next to the palace. She was looking at Martial Overlord Palace, deep in thought. Her eyes were filled with brazen courage and coldness. Her white clothes floated around her, and a dizzying fragrance that made people mistake her for a fairy wafted from her. However, the violent aura radiating from her ruined the image.

“She didn’t bring Huangfu Qi?” The woman was clearly alone, which shocked Long Chen. Both he and Huangfu Fengchen guessed that Lady Xuan would bring Huangfu Qi with her, so why wasn’t she here?

“Should we return to the Huangfu clan now?” asked Long Chen, frustrated.

It was all for nothing!

“No, Elder Brother, I think she hid Huangfu Qi somewhere, then came here alone. She has a bit of Qi Qi’s scent, and the scent is still clear. I think she only recently put Huangfu Qi down!” said Xiaolang excitedly.

Long Chen was initially frustrated, but he relaxed a little when he heard Xiaolang. He had forgotten about this due to a moment of panic. The Sun Devouring Wolf was a demonic beast, so his nose was more sensitive than Long Chen’s. Long Chen naturally trusted what he said.

“Can you follow the scent to find Qi Qi?” asked Long Chen hurriedly.

Xiaolang smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t. I can’t smell the scent anywhere else. It’s only on her …”

Long Chen was a bit disappointed.

If they could search directly, this would become much easier. They could let Lady Xuan fight the Martial Overlord to death while Long Chen brough Huangfu Qi away, surprising Lady Xuan.

“Elder Brother, should we go search for Qi Qi or stay here to watch? If Lady Xuan gets the Myriad Earth Essence, she will surely go to Qi Qi. And if she is at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, while it is impossible for us to defeat her even if we work together, we can at least snatch Qi Qi away from her, right? She doesn’t know we have the Primordial Realm.”

If they left now, they could possibly find Huangfu Qi if they were lucky. However, they were likely to fail. If Lady Xuan got the Myriad Earth Essence and escaped, it would leave Long Chen and Xiaolang with nothing.

Therefore, Long Chen quickly made his decision.

“We’ll stay here and watch.”

“I think that’s better too.” Mo Xiaolang looked up at Lady Xuan in the sky with hatred in his eyes. He was not at all interested in her seductive figure.

Long Chen watched carefully.

Lady Xuan started to speak. She was showing off her power brazenly, and her immense aura frightened every person in the crowd below who could sense it!

“What is happening? Has another master as strong as the Martial Overlord appeared?”

“And it’s a woman?”

“This woman’s not an idiot, right? Her face is covered with a veil, so I can’t see what she looks like. But her figure is fucking amazing! Look! Look at her breasts, her ass! It’s so tempting. I’m willing to give ten years of my life just to spend a night with her!”

The crowd started to discuss. That last comment had come from a muscular man.
