Chapter 659: Brother
However, Huangfu Qi was waiting.
After they flirted for a while, she turned to leave.
Zhao Danchen turned and looked at Martial Overlord City.
He had made his intentions clear in the conversation he had with Feng Xuan.
He wanted to be the Martial Overlord.
Everyone looked at him in petrified silence, including Xiao Lin, who also had terror written all over his face.
Zhao Danchen smiled. There was no need for him to say anything. He stuck out his right thumb and held it high in the air. Then he put the golden ring on his thumb in front of everyone!
He continued holding his thumb up for everyone to see.“Your Majesty, the Martial Overlord!”
All the people of Martial Overlord City fell to their knees, one by one. After a while, everyone had knelt down. Zhao Wuji’s era was over; it was Zhao Danchen’s era!
“With that bastard being the Martial Overlord, the Divine Martial Empire will become even worse,” said Long Chen, then he leaped off the wall on the side of the city with Mo Xiaolang. He abandoned everyone in Martial Overlord city, and while everyone was greeting Zhao Danchen, Long Chen ran after Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan had sustained internal injuries, so she could not move very quickly. This allowed Long Chen and Xiaolang to catch up, and Long Chen did not use his Dragon Soul Transformation.
If Feng Xuan was not injured, he did not know if they would have been able to catch up.
Long Chen had seen her in battle, so he deeply revered her. The Fifth Earthly Martial Stage was indeed very strong!
“Xiaolang, be careful. We’ll wait for our chance! When I let you into the Primordial Realm, you must not hesitate at all!”
“I understand, Elder Brother. Saving Qi Qi is the most important thing,” said Mo Xiaolang with a nod.
Both of them were nervous, but for the sake of Huangfu Qi, they gave chase without hesitation.
The only good news was that Feng Xuan was injured. Based on her condition, the damage was quite severe. If Zhao Danchen had not arrived, Feng Xuan would have been the dead one.
The Martial Overlord’s Martial Overlord Seal was quite terrifying!
Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang held their breaths and approached slowly, not daring to make a sound. They were facing a master they could not defeat in a direct battle.
The task ahead was not an easy one.
Very quickly, Feng Xuan arrived in a place that was close to Huangfu Qi’s hiding spot. It was a valley with beautiful plants and chirping birds, though it also contained many demonic beasts. It was a large valley, but the demonic beasts were not strong. There were no King-tier beasts that could take human form here.
The earthly spiritual Qi here was thick, so even the weaker beasts were decently strong. Within this valley, the beasts were between the Earth and Heaven tier, and they roamed across a large area.
Feng Xuan dashed quickly through the valley.
Long Chen and Xiaolang followed closely. Long Chen had the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so he could follow her from a distance. Xiaolang had a sensitive nose, so he could pick up her scent.
“So, she’s in this valley. If only we had known about this place from the start. However, if we were to search on our own, we might not have found this place even if we searched for ten days,” said Long Chen.
“Elder Brother, what do we do now?” Xiaolang saw Long Chen as the leader, and Long Chen was also quicker with ideas.
Long Chen thought for a while, then he said solemnly, “Perhaps one of us can lure her away, then the other can save Qi Qi?”
“Should I be the one to lure her away? You have the Primordial Realm, so you can quickly put Qi Qi in a safe place. If you don’t use the Dragon Soul Transformation, I’m a little faster than you,” Mo Xiaolang said decisively.
“No way, that’s very dangerous for you,” blurted Long Chen.
“You don’t trust me?” Mo Xiaolang looked at him solemnly for the first time. His eyes were filled with determination. Xiaolang was usually very obedient, but when he decided to be stubborn, even Long Chen could not convince him otherwise.
Seeing Mo Xiaolang so serious, Long Chen clenched his teeth and thought for a moment. He said, “Alright. You’ll try leading her away later. If you can’t, it’s no big deal. We will simply fight to our deaths!”
“Alright!” A smile finally appeared on his tightened face. He was waiting for Long Chen to say this. He had always wanted to help Long Chen do something, and it seemed like there were fewer and fewer chances for him to help out along this journey. He had finally reached Category Three King-tier with great difficulty, so now he could share Long Chen’s burden!
Mo Xiaolang was even more desperate to save Huangfu Qi!
“Elder Brother, she stopped,” Mo Xiaolang suddenly said, looking at Long Chen with his bright eyes.
“Mm …” Long Chen used the Soul Swallowing Gaze and spotted Huangfu Qi. Huangfu Qi’s soul was very blurry, so he guessed that she was unconscious. If Feng Xuan wanted her to stay in one spot, it made sense for her to make Huangfu Qi unconscious.
“Is she preparing to transplant Qi Qi’s Heavenly Wind Veins into her own body in this valley?” Mo Xiaolang asked.
Long Chen thought for a while and nodded. “There isn’t anyone nearby, so that is very possible. If she returns to the Huangfu family, she might be interrupted.”
If she planned to return to the Huangfu family, Feng Xuan would have taken Huangfu Qi away immediately. However, she had stayed in the same place. That was why Mo Xiaolang guessed that she would perform the transplant here.
“Elder Brother, I will go over to attack her later. She has just arrived at the Divine Martial Empire, so she won’t recognize us. And when she sees that I’m a demonic beast, she will surely chase after me. If I run fast, it should be no problem!” said Xiaolang.
Luring an enemy away created too many variables. Long Chen was not sure about this, but since Xiaolang insisted on taking this dangerous task, Long Chen had no choice.
“Be very careful. When we fight, listen to my instructions. If you ruin the plan because of your stubbornness, I won’t forgive you.” Long Chen knew that Xiaolang could be stubborn sometimes. For example, when he was running for his life with Ling Xi and Xiaolang, and the dwarves arrived, Xiaolang did not listen to him and used up his own life force to help Long Chen fight them!
Although it was not good that he was stubborn, at that moment, Long Chen recognized Mo Xiaolang as his brother for life!
Mo Xiaolang was no idiot. He knew what Long Chen was talking about, and seeing how serious Long Chen was, he bit his lip and nodded. “I understand, Big Brother.”
The arrangements had been made.
There were five hundred meters left. They arrived in the blink of an eye and hid behind a gigantic, ancient tree. This tree’s leaves were large enough to completely hide Xiaolang and Long Chen.
After Xiaolang turned into human form, he barely had any demonic Qi on him. If that were not the case, Feng Xuan would have long noticed the presence of a powerful demonic beast.
Looking through the gaps between the leaves, Long Chen could see where Feng Xuan was. There was a semicircular cave on the lush, green mountain wall ahead. He could see inside of this wide cave from his current location. The inner walls of the cave were very smooth, so he could tell that she had created it herself.
Feng Xuan stood in the cave and stared ahead with excitement.
There was a wooden tub in front of her. It was about two meters in diameter and one meter tall. The wood used to make this tub was likely precious and sturdy, and it was dark purple. It was clear that it was not ordinary wood, as it would not have been able to withstand the medicine inside.
Half of the tub was filled with light green medicine. The medicine was viscous, and was likely a liquid formed from mixing several types of herbs. It looked disgusting but gave off a pleasant fragrance. Taking a sniff would result in a refreshing feeling.
Huangfu Qi was lying in the medicine. The thick, green liquid covered her tiny body and only her face remained outside, though her eyes were tightly shut.
Her face was a mild green and did not have much redness to it, as if she was assimilating with the medicine.
When Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang saw her, their eyes turned blood-red. Mo Xiaolang even started panting heavily, showing how furious he was. Long Chen was worried he would make a sound, so he gripped his arm tightly to remind him.
Mo Xiaolang finally quietened down.
“It’s just a small branch family, yet a young prodigy with three Heavenly Wind Veins appeared. If you were allowed to reach the Earthly Martial Realm, you would experience the benefits of the Heavenly Wind Veins, and you might’ve been able to reach the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. I only have two Heavenly Wind Veins myself; why does this little girl have more than me?”
Feng Xuan walked around Huangfu Qi, looking at her with great interest. Then she muttered to herself with a smile, “It looks like coming to the Divine Martial Empire was a smart move. Not only will I get the Ancient Token with ease, I am about get three Heavenly Wind Veins. Although this transplanting method will have some side effects and I’ll be inferior to people born with five Heavenly Wind Veins, I will become stronger. I should be able to reach the Sixth or Seventh Earthly Martial Stage!”
Looking at Huangfu Qi’s tiny body, Feng Xuan gave an approving smile.
