Dragon War God

Chapter 816 - Secret

Let’s see who they are and what they are planning to do.

Little Cat sensed that Long Chen had stopped cultivating and sighed in relief. He carefully hid even though he wasn’t afraid of the outsiders in black robes. But due to him occupying the body of the Dream Demon, who was a demonic beast, the instinct to run from powerful foes couldn’t be switched off. That was why Little Cat’s body was trembling.

Little Cat used all of his willpower to control the body of the Dream Demon to stop trembling, then he stared at the men in front to see what they were up to.

There were six of them, and they were standing around where the Five-Colored Altar had appeared. One of them stepped forward and did a complicated seal with their hands. A purple light traced their movements like a ribbon.

The person stepped back, then Long Chen saw the Five-Colored Altar appear once more. It was still hazy, and it disappeared very quickly after flashing.

The appearance of the Five-Colored Altar was within Long Chen’s expectations. It seems that they already know about the altar.

Long Chen observed closely and saw that the one who made the seals had an odd appearance. The person’s arm slid out from the black robes and revealed purple-scaled claws.

Rows of neatly arranged purple scales adorned their hand, and their fingertips ended in sharp claws. An eerie, purple light danced in the palms of the person.

Is he a Beast Warrior? But why is he in his transformed form when he’s not in battle?

Long Chen was curious.

After the Five-Colored Altar disappeared, they finally started conversing. Long Chen was excited to hear what they was going to talk about in hopes that he would get more information.

He was hoping he could overhear something important.

The man who had made the seals chuckled sinisterly. His voice was horrifying, as if he had come from the depths of the Nine Spirit Purgatory.

“The secret entrance of the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm... It will open a month before the Ancient Graveyard shuts down. Let’s just wait for them to finish their childish tournament before we give them the final key.”

Another eerie voice came from another person. “Where should we place the final key?”

“Since it’s the Black Emperor Key, we should toss it at Tianyi Water City.”

“Heh, we can finally get our hands on the treasures of the Five Emperors! We’ve waited for it for so long. Those damned Five Emperors. How dare they set up such a restriction even after they’ve died? I can’t believe they would go to such lengths to prevent us from taking the treasure!”

“The Ancient Graveyard has been activated so many times, but we never succeeded even once. I think we can finally do it this time ...”

The six of them smiled at each other. Through the moonlight, Long Chen finally saw their non-human faces.

“Who’s there?”

One of them turned to look at Little Cat. Long Chen immediately recalled the Primordial Dragon Talisman. Thanks to their close proximity, the Primordial Dragon Talisman embedded itself in his chest almost instantly. Little Cat was also safe inside the Primordial Realm.

The six had most likely noticed Little Cat, but Long Chen had a feeling that they would persuade themselves that they were just seeing things. After all, they were certain that they were the strongest in the Ancient Graveyard and believed that no one else would have the capability to spy on them.

Who are they? Why are they so strong? Each of them is stronger than Bai Lan...

The stronger his opponents, the more terrifying they would be.

But Long Chen had indeed obtained the information that he needed, and that was their goal. They wanted the Five Emperors’ Treasure!

“So someone was indeed controlling the Ancient Graveyard. They lure us from the Ten Thousand Nations Territory to open up the Five Emperors’ Treasure while they themselves have the keys. They can’t enter because of the restriction, and they aren’t strong enough to get inside.”

“You are right.” Little Cat popped out of the Primordial Realm and sighed. “Thankfully, you were fast enough, or I would’ve been dismembered by them.”

“Little Cat, if that’s the case, will Bai Lan and the others be in danger if we go and take the Five Emperors’ Treasure? Will they all be killed after taking out the treasure?”

Little Cat rolled his eyes. “I don’t know, but I do know that the greatest treasures are hidden in danger. No matter what, you need the treasure since you are going to the Three Emperor Territory. Without it, you will sacrifice a lot of opportunities later on. You must get it no matter what. According to them, you still have five months to figure it out, so don’t worry about it.”

“Hmm... You are right.” Long Chen\'s belief also didn’t let him give up even though he had overheard the conversation.

“Wait, do you know who they are?” Little Cat asked.

“No, I don’t. I’ve been waiting for my dear Eldest Cat to explain to me.” Long Chen grinned. Even though there was a lot of pressure, he had endured the worst. This was nothing much to him.

Little Cat grinned and put on a scary face to frighten Long Chen. “Truth to be told, they are from the Demon Race of the Desolate Royal Territory. They are also the descendants who had killed the Five Emperors in the past... All six of them are demonic beasts at the Emperor-tier. They are almost identical to humans when they transform into their human forms ...”

Six incredibly powerful demonic beasts... No, they were from the Demon Race.

“So it’s them...” Long Chen now understood why they were here. They were the descendants who had killed the Five Emperors, and now they want to take the treasure for themselves. That was why they had set up the game in the Ancient Graveyard, to lure people from the Ten Thousand Nations Territory to come here.

They needed the humans to take out the treasure so that they could swoop in at the last moment to take it for themselves. If word got out, everyone who was aiming for the treasure would be scared speechless. Long Chen was certain that Bai Lan and the others would never enter the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm if they found out.

But Long Chen could not tell them right now.

“If I were to spread this around, it would cause panic and no one would enter the Secret Realm anymore. I fear that the people from the Demon Race would get angry and kill everyone here after finding out that their plan has failed.”

Long Chen knew that he could not be rash since this was an important matter.

“We cannot let anyone know. We still have five months, so let’s just wait and see for a bit. The Divine clan, Wind clan, and the Five Element Alliance have nothing to do with me, but Bai Lan and Lei Ji have helped me a lot. I might let them know secretly so that they could prepare themselves.”

Little Cat assured him, “Don’t worry, since your ancestors from the Ten Thousand Nations Territory could set a restriction to prevent the Demon Race from taking their treasure, they probably foresaw this too. I have a feeling that you will be able to leave peacefully after obtaining the treasure. They would never let their inheritance be taken by someone random.”

Long Chen agreed since Little Cat had a point.

“Just set this aside right now. I’ve heard from Suxue that Jin Ling is very strong. I have to face him tomorrow, and I cannot be careless.”

Long Chen started cultivating again and soon, the next day arrived.

No one bothered Long Chen until it was almost noon. Bai Lan and the others made sure they were ready to depart before they approached him.

“Are you ready?” Bai Lan asked.

“We will be victorious today.” Long Chen smiled confidently.

“Good. It’s all up to you now.”

Of all of them, Long Chen was the most confident. Everyone else was worried about him since Jin Ling was famous for being a crazy bastard completely engrossed in cultivation. Jin Ling had never lost before, not even once.

Long Chen’s luck wasn’t the best since he would be fighting against Jin Ling first.

The Nine Clan Martial Youth Competition was an important matter in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. Since it was being held in the Ancient Graveyard this time, there weren’t a lot of spectators, but the three factions took it very seriously and arrived at the venue long before the set meeting time.

Feng Liu had been sent back to Giant Metal City to be treated, so not a lot of people were left in the Divine Wind Faction. The grudge between Feng Zhilin and Long Chen had deepened after their previous encounter. Feng Zhilin’s face was icy when she saw Long Chen. Her thick bloodlust even leaked out uncontrollably.

Wu Guangyu was the same. Compared to Feng Zhilin, Wu Guangyu was even more loved by his mother. His mother was at the pinnacle of strength in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory as the matriarch of the Divine clan. He had always done what he wanted ever since he was young, and no one could control him. Wu Lian, however, had been strict on his cultivation so Wu Guangyu could be powerful. He had never once tasted defeat.

But he was wary of Long Chen after he saw how he had defeated Feng Zhilin.

Make sure to win against Jin Ling so I can teach you a lesson. You are not qualified to fight me if you lose.

Long Chen could tell what Wu Guangyu was trying to let him know by just looking into his eyes.
