Dragon Martial Emperor-Chapter 120 – Withering Yu Guan
Chapter – 120 Withering Yu Guan
The formidable core laws of various sects were considered the foothold of practice for all practitioners.
But powerful martial skills were simply used by various factions and groups to expand their influence. The news about the appearance of such a terrifying martial skill that could reduce the cultivation level of an opponent would definitely make entire Tang Sate go crazy!
Long Yu’s vision was sweeping in all directions. Bu Xing saw this and whispered with a smile: “Do not worry Brother Long, elders will not find out about this trick of yours.”
“En.”
Long Yu nodded and felt relieved.
Although elders were mostly on his side, but no one could predict the rise of yet another evil guy like Wu Jianxin.
“Yes, since you already are so strong, now I kind of feel relieved in taking you with me.”
Bu Xing changed the subject and said.
“Take me with you?”
Long Yu gawked for a moment, did not know what Bu Xing was talking about.
“Ancient Mongolian State has intruded into our Tang State’s northern border. Several troops are stationed at the border and many young experts went to the battlefield in order to achieve an establishment of merit by killing the enemy soldiers.”
Bu Xing frowned and said: “Moreover, a rumor reached us in the evening that Yu Guan City’s Feng Longsong has been captured by Mongolian State some time ago.”
Originally, Long Yu wouldn’t care much about the Mongolian invasion.
But after hearing this news, his complexion suddenly changed: “Foster father has been captured by Mongolian State?”
“My master, our head, conveyed this message to me, so I am going to have a look. Brother Long, do you want to come with me?”
Bu Xing asked.
“You bet I am.”
Long Yu firmly said.
He initially wanted to practice awakening palm samsara up to Dacheng realm, and in addition, he had also planned to perform a research on Heavenly Lunar Tablet.
But since Feng Longsong was in danger, he certainly wouldn’t sit back and do nothing!
“How is Tang State dealing with this situation? What have we done so far in response to the invasion?”
Long Yu inquired.
“Major General Long Ji of the Long clan has led 100,000 experts to the border. It should be easy for them to handle the veterans of Mongolian State army.”
Bu Xing said: “But, Mongolian assassins crossed the border and sneaked inside Yu Guan City to capture your foster father. Yu Guan City is about a thousand miles away from the border, but for them, it is still a vital strategic spot behind the enemy lines. We also found the trail of Mongolian assassin so many experts are now gathered in Yu Guan City.”
“I must immediately go to Yu Guan City.”
Long Yu made the decision.
“This is what I intend to do.”
Bu Xing smiled but then immediately cautioned him: “However, you have to be careful because the details about your past and background have spread everywhere. You may have to face dangers after leaving the premises of Zhentian Sect.”
“No problem, I don’t care. Since my foster father is in danger, I am going to save him at any cost.”
Long Yu said with firm determination.
He had already expected that his past would be exposed sooner or later but did not expect it to happen so fast.
There were a lot of people in the top three clans of Tang State, namely Long Clan, Mo Clan and Royal Clan, who wanted him dead!
“Good.”
Bu Xing nodded and said: “Although there is a danger to your life, the point is that you can rest assured because your grandfather is constantly suppressing this matter. Even if someone plans to kill you, they will not dare to do it openly.”
My grandfather?
Long Yu immediately linked several facts in his mind.
His father was a born in Long clan and was considered a great figure, then his grandfather was naturally going to be a senior member of the clan!
Long Yu did not know much about Long clan. So far, he had only met one person from his clan; the young royal guard in shining armor whom he saw in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest.
He was qualified enough to hold the position of a royal princess’s personal bodyguard. And his cultivation was comparable to the cultivation of Bu Xing.
Thus, it could be seen that Long clan was a huge and influential clan.
“It doesn’t matter who it is, because if they want to deal with me, they will have to answer to Nine Hidden Dragon Mark.”
Long Yu thought as his eyes flashed like a cold sword.
If he really ran into an opponent he could not resist, he would still have Nine Hidden Dragon Mark as his final card. It was something he had inherited from his predecessors and its ancient mysteries were not something he could comprehend by just reaching the first layer of Zhenling realm.
As far as experts of Man-Heaven Unity realm were concerned, they would not even bother to personally come to kill a newbie expert of Zhenling realm like Long Yu.
……
Next day, early morning.
It was very early in the morning when Liao Lele came to Long Yu’s house to deliver dumplings but saw that it was already collapsed and empty with no trace of Long Yu anywhere.
She inquired around only to find out that he was seen going out of Zhentian Sect with Bu Xing.
She stood for a long time beside the collapsed bamboo house.
Her blue robe was floating in the wind while her face revealed an expression which clearly showed that she was overwhelmed by loneliness…..
At this time, Long Yu and Bu Xing were rushing in the direction of Yu Guan City.
They were not riding horses but each was displaying excellent agility and going at an extremely fast speed.
Bu Xing was displaying ‘horizon is close’ skill and his speed was several times more than the speed of a fierce horse.
Long Yu was simultaneously using Demon Wings and ghost flash to move at a speed which was a bit faster than Bu Xing’s!
“Demon Wings is also called Wings of Demon Valley. It is made from the wings of a formidable demon beast that was killed by a human powerhouse. This is the reason why this pair of white wings is called a best-grade spiritual level skill. And once stimulated, it will not just increase your speed but can also allow you to perform short distance glides.”
Bu Xing gave some information about this battle weapon to Long Yu on the way: “Unfortunately, the martial array that is engraved on it is damaged, such a pity.”
“Is that really the real reason behind its name?”
Long Yu was a bit skeptical about it.
This name didn’t sound like the name of a demon beast rather it seemed to belong to a sect’s Buddhist law or something.
“Yes, the wings belong to a kind of beast that lives in Heavenly soul demon valley. This beast is said to possess the strength of Zhenling seventh layer.”
Bu Xing further explained with a somewhat dignified look on his face: “Heavenly soul demon valley is situated at the intersection point of three states, namely our Tang State, Ancient Mongolian State and Eastern State. It is ruled by local demon beasts and is home to a variety of indigenous species. Its overall strength and influence are on par with our Tang State.”
Three-state intersection point, Heavenly soul demon valley!
Long Yu silently made a mental note, but just from listening to the information provided by Bu Xing, he had come to know that he was not strong enough to set foot in this so-called valley of death.
However, Long Yu’s heart was more startled by knowing about an expert who was able to kill the owner of these white wings.
They continued to use their respective speed boosting means to rush towards Yu Guan City.
They only spent half-a-day to arrive at Yu Guan City. In fact, this journey should have lasted for at least three days if they rode fierce horses!
They left Zhentian Sect at the time of sunrise and reached Yu Guan City during sunset.
“Let’s go inside and see what’s going on.”
Both Long Yu and Bu Xing simultaneously rushed towards the main gate of Yu Guan City. Long Yu was not tired even while moving as fast as an expert of Zhenling third layer because consumption of Xuan qi was considerably less on his part.
Both of them stopped at the city’s main gate. Long Yu put away the demon wings and concealed it properly.
The duo calmed down for a moment and while maintaining a normal mood, without showing any hesitation or emotion, they entered the city.
Usually, one would find a very lively and peaceful scene in this city, but this time, it was shrouded in a burst of chill and gloomy atmosphere!
In the city, many inns, pubs, and other places were fully occupied by numerous warriors and there were some powerhouses of Zhenling realm among them.
Yu Guan City was not the nearest city from the border, but since the appearance of a Mongolian assassin in the city, it attracted the attention of many warriors. Moreover, the city was said to lie at a key communication center of many cities in the region.
Therefore, warriors from various nearby regions had gathered here to fight with Mongolian intruders. They had already started to form parties to go on missions.
In Tang State, a law stated that whenever a war broke out with a foreign country, anyone, regardless of their status, would receive rich rewards for killing enemy soldiers.
Even if Tang State had already dispatched Major General, Long Ji, and his 100,000 warriors to resist against the Mongolian invasion, these warriors had assembled here in search of rogue enemy soldiers in the nearby regions!
“It will be difficult to find a place to stay.”
Bu Xing looked all around and said with an indifferent smile.
It was already late and even if they wanted to rush to the front lines, tonight they must rest in Yu Guan City. Not to mention, Long Yu would certainly go and inspect the present situation of Feng Clan.
“I suggest, we both go to Feng Clan’s villa. We will certainly find a place to spend the night there.”
Long Yu said and slightly frowned.
Since Feng Longsong was no longer present to defend the members of Feng Clan, it would be a huge tragedy if a conflict occurred between Feng Clan and the newly arrived warriors!
Long Yu could not help but be somewhat anxious. He wanted to go and confirm the safety of his fellow clan members as soon as possible.
“We must hurry up, right now Yu Guan City is in a very volatile and turbulent state and there’s no one to guard Feng Clan.”
Bu Xing narrowed his eyes and looked towards Feng Clan’s villa.
He had been to Feng Clan’s villa once before and naturally knew its exact location.
Both of them rushed towards the villa, quickly bypassing several streets and houses.
“You two, stop right there!”
Suddenly, Long Yu and Bu Xing heard a loud shout that came from the front and two soldiers, who were dressed in battle armors, blocked their path!
This scene induced a cold feeling in Long Yu’s heart.
These two soldiers seemed to be guarding the road leading to Feng Clan’s Villa. This was most likely a sign of something bad happening to Feng Clan!
“You two punks dare to stop us?”
Long Yu saw through their cultivations and noticed that they were only at Wudao sixth layer.
In fact, the disparity in levels was so high that the two soldiers were unable to sense the cultivation levels of Long Yu and Bu Xing.
They only knew that their boss was a powerful warrior of Zhenling realm, then there was no need to be scared of these two young guys.
