Dragon War God

Chapter 277 - Rebirth of Ling Xi

Li Ziling felt like she was dreaming as she stared at the calm-looking teenager. The first time they met was in the Fire Thunder Mountain Range. At the time, Long Chen had attacked her after she had exhausted her Qi suppressing the Blazing Thunder Crystal Soul. It was a shameless move, and his cultivation level at the time was nothing impressive. But Long Chen was now as powerful as her grandfather, at a position that she could only look up to ...

There was just too big of a gap between them.

Li Ziling had always based her self-esteem on her beauty and strength. She opined that there were extremely few people who were fit for her. However, Long Chen did not even take one look at her, and it made her feel resentful. Her confidence took a great hit. You jerk! Do you think you’re the shit now that you’re stronger?

Li Ziling had the urge to kill him, but she did not dare do anything, because she would be the dead one in the end.

Long Chen was considered an extraordinarily powerful presence in Yuanling City, and the two largest factions had been crippled by him. The Dawn Trading Alliance was celebrating because this was their opportunity to rise. But when Long Chen, also the harbinger of death, came knocking on their door, would they dare not treat him well?

Everyone made their way to the grand guest hall of the Dawn Trading Alliance, and Long Chen sat at the head of the room. Li Ziling resented this seating arrangement, but when she recalled his current capabilities and position, she had no choice but to shut her mouth and stand obediently behind him.

“Chairman Li, I came here today for only one reason. I would like to make a trade,” Long Chen said right after he sat down.

“Trade?” Li Wudi sighed in relief. Thank goodness it was a trade. If Long Chen had decided to make a ridiculous demand, he would’ve been put in a difficult position.

“May I ask what you would like to trade?” Chairman Li asked smilingly.

“This is what I intend to pay you for it.” Long Chen took out a Universe Pouch from his clothes and placed it on the table.

Li Ziling rolled her eyes. Long Chen was a poor man from a small town; he would not be able to show them anything good. That was why she did not care about what he had.

“What is this ...?” asked Chairman Li in confusion.

“Twenty Heavenly River Pills. It’s enough for the Dawn Trading Alliance to produce one Heavenly River Realm cultivator.” When he spoke, Long Chen looked at Li Ziling. He guessed that the twenty pills would be used on her.

“What?” Li Wudi and the rest gasped. Li Ziling was the most surprised of them all. She was already at the Heavenly Core Realm and would likely reach the Heavenly River Realm in a few years to become one of the strongest in Yuanling City. However, she lacked Heavenly River Pills right now, and her problem would be solved if she received twenty of them.

She stared at him in shock and gratitude.

“Are there really twenty Heavenly River Pills inside?” Li Wudi almost dared not believe him. Although Long Chen had become an Immortal Guard, he knew it would still be difficult for him to pay so much.

“You may open it and check, Chairman Li,” Long Chen responded.

Li Wudi picked up the Universe Pouch and opened it. Lo and behold, there were twenty Heavenly River Pills inside. He was in a daze as he stared at the teenager who had grown so powerful so quickly. Without them noticing, he had amassed wealth and strength exceeding the whole Dawn Trading Alliance.

“There are indeed twenty Heavenly River Pills in here. May I ask what you would like to trade them for?” Chairman Li asked solemnly. Twenty Heavenly River Pills. It looked like Long Chen’s request would not be simple.

Li Ziling was also staring at him, unsure of how to react.

“It’s actually very simple. I’m about to leave for the Biyang Imperial Capital, but I have many enemies in Yuanling City. However, my family in Baiyang Town does not have the power to fend off my enemies at all. I was hoping the Dawn Trading Alliance could send at least two cultivators at least at the late Heavenly Core Realm to guard Baiyang Town. And if any Heavenly River Realm cultivator tries to harm my family, you two must help fend them off. What do you think? But Chairman Li, you don’t actually have to worry. Now that Emperor Yuan is dead, there aren’t any Heavenly River Realm cultivators in the Beast Soul Palace. The Lingwu family is restricted due to the promise, so they are being watched by the Ninth Prince. They won’t stoop so low as to harm my family. That is why you only need to send late Heavenly Core Realm cultivators to Baiyang Town, and these twenty Heavenly River Pills will belong to the Dawn Trading Alliance!”

The Dawn Trading Alliance was set to profit greatly from this trade. With Long Chen's reputation, basically no one would want to touch Baiyang Town after he left for the Biyang Imperial Capital. All the Dawn Trading Alliance had to do was send two late Heavenly Core Realm cultivators to vacation in Baiyang Town.

“To summarize, as long as you can ensure my family’s safety in Baiyang Town, these twenty Heavenly River Pills will be yours,” he reiterated.

Li Wudi and Old Eagle looked at each other. Long Chen was currently the ultimate master, but family was the weakness of even the strongest people. Long Chen was about to embark on a journey to a place far away, so it would be very inconvenient if someone decided to target his family. That was why he had come to the Dawn Trading Alliance.

First of all, Long Chen was merely being filial. He had no other hidden intentions. Secondly, this was extremely easy for the Dawn Trading Alliance to do. Third, the Dawn Trading Alliance could stand to gain a lot from this. Fourth, they could forge a relationship with Long Chen, who was bound to become an even more powerful prodigy in the future.

This was an amazing deal delivered right to their doorstep, so the Dawn Trading Alliance had no reason to decline. Li Wudi was all smiles when he said, “I understand, Long Chen. I will ensure that this matter will be dealt with perfectly so you will not need to worry while you’re away.”

He paused to think for a while and then said, “We will send three late Heavenly Core Realm, ten mid Heavenly Core Realm, and a few Earthly Core and Human Core Realm cultivators to be stationed in Baiyang Town. They will ensure that Baiyang Town is completely protected and treat the Yang family as VIPs. If anyone more powerful appears, Old Eagle and I will assist too!”

“Thank you, Chairman Li.” Long Chen was extremely pleased with Li Wudi’s arrangement.

His lingering worries about Baiyang Town had been resolved, so now he could leave in peace. His next task was to bring Xiaolang to the Biyang Imperial Capital, then go to the Counter Essence Realm with the Ling Xi Sword to search for the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit.

I wonder when Xiao Xi will wake up. When she does, she will be able to use the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus. And if that happens, hehe ... If Ling Xi had a physical body, she would definitely be beautiful enough to make entire kingdoms fall, like Li Xuanji. And with their relationship, it should be normal for him to take a little advantage of her, right?

While he thought about Ling Xi, Li Wudi and the rest walked him out of the Dawn Trading Alliance, and he left. contemporary romance

The sky was darkening. Tomorrow morning, he would need to leave for Biyang Imperial Capital with the Ninth Prince.

“Everything is in order. Let’s go, Xiaolang. Let’s go to the Jade Royal Palace,” Long Chen said mildly.

Xiaolang gave a low growl. Since he was in the puppy form of the wolf, any noise he made sounded squeaky. His row of white teeth made him look very cute.

This would be Long Chen’s last night in Yuanling City. Tomorrow, he would set out for the central region of the Cangyang Kingdom, the Biyang Imperial Capital.

That was where the almighty royal family was located. He would also be near the mysterious but richly abundant Counter Essence Realm as well as Xiaolang’s enemies. It was also where he would find what needed to help Ling Xi recover. Of course, all the masters of the Cangyang Kingdom were aggregated there too. It would be a stepping stone for Long Chen to grow to greater heights!

When he arrived at the Jade Royal Palace, a handmaiden who served the Ninth Prince said to him, “His Highness instructed me to take you to your quarters to rest when you arrived. You will be leaving early tomorrow morning.”

Long Chen nodded.

The pretty handmaiden led him to a lavish bedroom. “Sir, His Highness said that I am a present for you.” After he entered the room, she undid the ties of her dress to reveal a huge patch of fair skin.

“Get out.” Long Chen was about to leave the city and to be honest, his thoughts were a mess.

“Yes, Sir.” The handmaiden looked as if a huge weight had been lifted. She left respectfully, leaving Long Chen to lie on the large, circular bed. He burrowed into the soft, pink cotton sheets and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He was completely immersed in his memories when he heard a crisp, melodious voice by his ear. “I didn’t know... Brother Chen, you’re actually quite a good guy.”

Long Chen would even recognize this voice in his dreams, because it belonged to Ling Xi.

“I’m starting to hallucinate.” Long Chen sulked and changed his position, though he remained frustrated because he realized that he missed Ling Xi very much. He wondered how she was doing.

“Brother Chen, let me out! Quick!” Long Chen, who was in a daze, heard her voice again. This time, he jumped out of bed in shock, startling Xiaolang, who was crouching at the bottom of the bed. f reewe b

“Xiao Xi, you’re awake?!”

This news was enough to make all the blood in his body boil. He did not care if it was a hallucination and immediately opened his Universe Pouch. A black ray of sword light instantly flew out of the pouch. He rubbed his eyes hard and, to his surprise, he saw the two-centimeter-tall Ling Xi standing on the Ling Xi sword.

Xiaolang stared at the tiny person in shock and curiosity. Although Long Chen hadn’t mentioned it, he knew that there had always been a girl more important than himself by Long Chen’s side.

“Brother Chen ...” Ling Xi’s eyes welled up with tears when she saw him.

Both of them had thought that they would die in the battle at the Star Devil Prison. Ling Xi had been willing to die for him, but Long Chen had chased after her into the abyss of the Star Devil Prison without hesitation, despite the fact that it seemed like certain death. Only the two of them knew how precious their reunion was, and how it was against all odds.

Long Chen could tell that Ling Xi had matured greatly after everything they had been through. She was no longer that odd-tempered girl who was a little spoiled. From her aura and her gaze, he slowly discovered tranquility and acceptance, as well as dignity and resilience.

“Xiao Xi ...” Staring at the silly girl, Long Chen realized that he was getting choked up too. He had thought about so many things to say to her, but he felt as if there was a boulder in his throat right now, stopping him from making a sound.

They had left each other to face death. No words could have described what they felt. All they could do was cry.
