Dragon Blooded War God

Chapter 628 – Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji

Long Chen recognized Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin did not know that they had met before. The Hundred-War Martial King had suddenly gone missing recently. Everyone had searched for him, but they failed to find him. He had suddenly disappeared while guarding the Nine Spirit Purgatory’s entrance. No one saw him come out, so they concluded that he had entered the Nine Spirit Purgatory, though no one knew why.

Although Chen Guangjun was a Martial King, he was a minor figure in Martial Overlord City.

Xiao Lin was smart, but he did not connect Long Chen and the Hundred-War Martial King. He recognized two of the four, namely Long Yue and the gray-clothed teenager. Xiao Lin had seen them many times, and he knew Long Chen too, as his looks were recorded by the Martial Alliance. The teenager was an unimaginable figure who had killed one of the three Martial Emperors, so Xiao Lin remembered his face clearly. He assumed Long Chen would come to Martial Overlord City eventually, but he did not expect him to appear here.

Xiao Lin did not recognize the old man, but his aura made Xiao Lin apprehensive.

How did these people get out of the Nine Spirit Purgatory?

Xiao Lin could not figure it out. He knew that there were two obstacles to getting out. First, they had to find the compass and follow where it pointed. Only Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji and himself knew about this; even Zhao Danchen did not know. The second obstacle was the vast sea of beast fire blocking the Nine Spirit Purgatory’s exit. How could anyone get out without reaching the Martial Overlord’s level?

Unless these people were at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage?

That was clearly impossible.

That was why Xiao Lin was half fearful, half confused.

Very soon, the Martial Kings and Martial Saints surrounded Long Chen and his group.

The people on the ground initially thought Long Chen and the others were major figures of the Martial Alliance, but when the actual major figures made an appearance, they sensed that something was wrong. The crowd started to discuss, and because Long Yue and the gray-clothed teenager were famous in the Divine Martial Empire, people quickly guessed who they were. As for Long Chen, due to his appearance, they soon figured out who he was too.

“It’s the two Long Chens and the head of the Dragon clan, Long Yue!”

The people who lived in Martial Overlord City were mostly powerful figures with their own connections and informants.

Everyone watched nervously as they wondered what would happen.

Xiao Lin had a dark expression. He stared at them solemnly, floating twenty meters away from Long Chen. Looking at them, he moved his lips gently as he asked, “Did the four of you come out of the Nine Spirit Purgatory?”

The city was silent, so the crowd below could hear his voice. The crowd looked at each other. They heard that one could enter the Nine Spirit Purgatory but not get out. Did that mean that the legend was broken?

“Isn’t it obvious?” Long Chen said with a grin, standing in front of his group.

Very few people in the Divine Martial Empire dared talk to Xiao Lin like that.

“I don’t care how you guys left the Nine Spirit Purgatory, but you are in Martial Overlord City! Don’t you think you’ll get to leave.” Xiao Lin’s hair floated behind him as he glared at them with his eagle-like eyes.

“Are you strong enough to stop us? Or do you want to become the second Yang Ningfeng?” Long Chen asked arrogantly.

Everyone was now certain that he was the Long Chen who had killed Yang Ningfeng!

He was the most outstanding rising star in the Divine Martial Empire. He had come out of nowhere and reached his current level in just a few short months, shocking everyone.

He was crazy, but he had the strength to back it up!

“You’re also called Long Chen ...” Xiao Lin squinted at Long Chen. He felt like Long Chen was familiar, as if they had met before. But where?

“Why? Do you think I look familiar?” Long Chen asked teasingly.

Xiao Lin froze.

“Old man, you must know that I have an older sister called the Ever-Changing Demon Girl, Lan Ling’er, right? Have you met anyone strange recently?” Long Chen did not mind telling him about it.

He also had another objective. He had used Control on Lady Mo before this so that she wouldn’t suspect that Long Chen was an imposter. Now that he had told the truth, Lady Mo would likely wake up from the Control if the news spread.

Xiao Lin was no idiot.

“The Hundred-War Martial King was you! He was you!” There was shock in his eyes as he studied Long Chen’s gaze. The gaze was the most difficult to imitate. Right now, Long Chen’s gaze was exactly the same as that of the Hundred-War Martial King, but the Hundred-War Martial King had a humble gaze at the time. Right now, he had an arrogant gaze!

“It’s good that you know.” Long Chen stepped aside, as his job was done. As for what he would do next, it was up to Long Shan.

“Let’s go.” Long Shan nodded when he saw that Long Chen was done speaking. He led the three youths away.

“Wait!” Xiao Lin’s face changed and he quickly blocked Long Shan. He could tell that Long Shan was the most powerful person among them, but he did not know how strong he was.

Xiao Lin could not figure out who this person was.

“Xiao Lin, do you remember me?” When Long Shan saw that Xiao Lin had stopped him, he looked up and stared cooly at the white-haired but muscular old man.

“You are...?” Xiao Lin froze once more. He knew which masters had been locked up in the Nine Spirit Purgatory, but he thought that Long Shan had long died, and the man before was as thin as a stick. He was far too different from what he used to look like.

“Move aside. Don’t make me vent my anger for Chen Xiong on you,” said Long Shan.

“Chen Xiong?” The name triggered many memories in Xiao Lin because Chen Xiong was his previous master. When he heard that name, Xiao Lin instantly thought about Long Shan. Long Chen impersonating the Hundred-War Martial King had already made him speechless, but now he was in complete disbelief over Long Shan’s identity.

“Long Shan ...?” Xiao Lin was in shock and took several steps back in the air. He stared at the elderly Long Shan with wide eyes.

“That’s right. It’s me,” said Long Shan.

“It’s been so many years! How is it possible that you’re not dead? This is impossible! Impossible!” muttered Xiao Lin.

Long Shan ignored him. He waved at the others and prepared to fly around Xiao Lin and leave Martial Overlord City to rest. When he regained his Fifth Earthly Martial Stage strength, he would be able to easily destroy the whole Martial Alliance.

And if their master came out now, it would be very inconvenient.

The Martial Overlord had not arrived, so how could Xiao Lin let them leave? Therefore, he quickly blocked their way again. Without another word, Long Shan waved, and a powerful gust flew at Xiao Lin!

Xiao Lin’s face changed and he quickly used both hands to block. Long Shan had only waved his hand, but it was enough to produce such a powerful attack. Xiao Lin knew that only the Martial Overlord could do the same.

This old man has been trapped until now, yet he’s still as strong as a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator at least! That’s terrifying! Xiao Lin thought nervously to himself. He did not want to get hurt, so he quickly retreated. Although the others did not know who Long Shan was, when they saw Xiao Lin’s expression, the Martial Kings and Martial Saints behind him also retreated!

The highest-ranked figures of the great Martial Alliance were being forced to retreat by a mysterious old man. Who was the old man?

Everyone was curious about Long Shan’s identity.

One wave was enough to push back the Martial Alliance.

He was beyond powerful.

Everyone was shocked when he forced Xiao Lin back in one move, because it meant that he was on the Martial Overlord’s level!

If another master on the Martial Overlord’s level appeared in the Divine Martial Empire, then it would surely shake the whole empire up. Those who were more forward-thinking felt like the tides would change in the Divine Martial Empire with Long Shan’s appearance.

Now that Long Shan was back, he would never let the Martial Overlord rule over the Divine Martial Empire.

Everyone knew that Xiao Lin could not stop him from leaving, but if he let Long Shan go, this would become a major problem to the Martial Alliance. Letting a tiger go back to its mountain would lead to future problems.

Long Chen guessed that if the Martial Overlord was currently in Martial Overlord City, he would surely show up.

He’s probably seen enough. Long Chen looked towards Martial Overlord Palace. He knew that Zhao Wuji had been watching for a long time, and as expected, after Long Shan attacked, the legendary Zhao Wuji finally appeared.

A man was standing at the very top of the golden Martial Overlord Palace. He was a middle-aged man in long, white robes, and his hair fluttered in the wind. Although there was some distance between them, Long Chen could tell that he was handsome. No one who saw his face would think that this sophisticated middle-aged scholar was actually Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji, the man who controlled the whole Divine Martial Empire!

The moment he appeared, the whole city erupted. The Martial Overlord had not appeared in public in a very long time. Many people had never even caught a glimpse of him before.

Long Shan and the others ignored Xiao Lin and looked at the Martial Overlord. Long Shan was slightly apprehensive about his past rival’s disciple. If he could control the whole Divine Martial Empire, he was surely no simple man.
