Chapter 693: Celebratory Dinner



Long Chen studied the Ancient Token for a while but did not find anything new with it, so he put it in the Primordial Realm. However, he found that something was stopping him.

“Little Cat, what’s the matter with this? Is the Ancient Token refusing to let me keep it in the Primordial Realm?” asked Long Chen.

“Mhm. Someone did something to it so that it cannot be kept in a Universe Pouch. As for the Primordial Realm … It can store everything. A mere Ancient Token won’t be a problem,” Little Cat said lazily.

“Someone did something to it? Who?” Long Chen gasped.

An Ancient Token was the key needed for a person to enter the Ancient Graveyard. It had arrived in Long Chen’s possession in an unbelievable manner, as if everything had been pre-arranged. He had instinctively thought that it was a natural phenomenon, but based on what Little Cat had said, it probably was not.

Someone was surely controlling it in order to form such a coincidence. Who was behind it?

“How would I know the details? You’re about to enter the game. If I told you the behind-the-scenes of this game, then playing would be meaningless,” said Little Cat.

Behind-the-scenes?

Long Chen was speechless. Based on Little Cat’s attitude, it looked like he was not going to tell him, so he asked, “Why won’t you tell me?”

“Don’t ask me. I won’t tell you about this no matter what,” Little Cat said nonchalantly.

Long Chen did not bother to force him.

He knew that if he was in danger, Little Cat would definitely warn him since they were on the same boat.

Even if Little Cat doesn’t say something, I would have guessed it myself. Someone must be controlling the Ancient Graveyard behind the scenes, but who? Long Chen could not figure it out, so he abandoned the matter.

Bringing Xiaolang with him, Long Chen descended from Sky Isle and went towards Martial Overlord City.

Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan were dead, and he had gotten the Ancient Token. The world was peaceful. Long Chen believed that under Long Yue and the others’ rule, the whole Divine Martial Empire would prosper and perhaps even regain its past glory.

In the past, the Divine Martial Empire was one of the Ten Great Empires after all.

Two or three days had passed since he left. By this point, the Dragon clan had completely taken over Martial Overlord City. The members of the Martial Alliance had either chosen to pledge loyalty to them or flee, but a large portion chose the former. With the Martial Alliance’s management style, it was difficult to raise cultivators who were loyal. These cultivators saw that the era of the Martial Alliance was over and naturally chose to submit and continue living in Martial Overlord City. To them, it was almost the same as changing to another Martial Overlord.

The Red Souls also controlled the Divine Martial Empire.

The Dragon clan’s power spread across the whole empire in a short time. Changing a dynasty turned out to be a quick affair.

At this moment, Long Yue and the others were sitting in the main pavilion of Martial Overlord Palace, discussing the future development of the Divine Martial Empire.

“All our plans are built upon the assumption that Seventh Brother manages to kill Feng Xuan. If Feng Xuan survives but Seventh Brother doesn’t, she won’t let us remain in Martial Overlord City, seeing as we are enemies.” Long Yue could not help but make this depressing comment after they confirmed their plans.

“Eldest Sister, will Seventh Brother win?” Lan Ling’er asked worriedly, biting her lip.

Long Yue saw that the atmosphere had become solemn, so she smiled and said, “What’s the matter with everyone? Don’t you have confidence in Seventh Brother? He is the rarest super-prodigy there is in the whole Divine Martial Empire! He even killed Zhao Danchen! Feng Xuan isn’t that much stronger than Zhao Danchen, so I believe he will succeed!”

“Let’s not panic just yet. They have gone to the Immortal Sea; news of them will arrive very soon. We’ll just wait and see who the final victor is.” Long Shan was the oldest, so everyone listened to him.

“Plus, Long Chen has his demonic wolf, which I think has reached Category Four King-tier. That is the same level as the Heavenly Phoenix. I think they should be able to defeat Feng Xuan if both of them work together …” said Lan Ling’er, looking around.

She did not actually have much confidence, but she spoke aloud to give herself some hope and feel better.

Miracles often happened to Seventh Brother. Would another miracle happen again at this last moment?

The group put down the empire’s affairs for the moment and went to the city walls. It was almost time for them to receive news about him.

Their hearts felt like fifteen hanging buckets of water swaying up and down.[1]

Half a day passed. Just as they were losing patience, they saw two silhouettes on the horizon, one man and one wolf. As they approached the city, the Sun Devouring Wolf turned into his human form. Two handsome teenagers, one cold and one pure-looking, were heading towards Martial Overlord city.

The Dragon clan’s anxious hearts finally calmed when they saw the two figures. Didn’t this mean that Long Chen had defeated Feng Xuan and successfully gotten the Ancient Token? They knew that the phenomenon signifying the birth of the Ancient Token had disappeared.

When they saw that Long Chen was unharmed, they all broke into wide grins, especially the Dragon clan members.

Time had flown quickly, and they all had known him for more than half a year now. Their bond had deepened to an incomparable level. Other than Xiaolang, who was Long Chen’s brother for life, these were Long Chen’s closest loved ones.

“Seventh Brother!” the group shouted at him.

Long Chen had long seen them standing on the city walls to welcome, and he also broke out into a grin. He rushed up the walls in a flash, and in a few breaths’ time, an unharmed Long Chen and Xiaolang were standing right in front of them.

The group eyed them both closely with approval and admiration in their eyes. Many of them hurried to ask, “Seventh Brother, what happened to Feng Xuan? Did you kill her? Did you get the Ancient Token?”

They all knew how important the Ancient Token was to him.

Everyone looked at him expectantly. Long Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Everyone, rest assured that from today onwards, no one will be a match for us in the whole Divine Martial Empire. And I have gotten the Ancient Token!”

When they heard his declaration, both the young and old broke out into joyful cheers with joy and gratitude on their faces.

They looked at the young man with admiration, knowing that without him, they would not have had such a perfect ending today. They probably would have died a long time ago.

If it were not for Long Chen’s extraordinary power, there was no chance they would’ve survived.

Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan were two enemies that were impossible to defeat, yet he had killed them!

Furthermore, he had gotten the Ancient Token, and everyone was happy for him. The only person whose smile was a little stiff was Liu Yiyi, who was standing in a corner with a smile and tears in her eyes.

The Clear Shallows King gently tapped her daughter’s shoulder. “Yiyi, he got the Ancient Token. He’ll leave soon. Are you upset about it?”

Liu Yiyi faked a smile and said, “Who said I was upset? His dream is coming true; that’s great news. He was never going to stay here. He has to leave sooner or later.”

“It’s good that you’ve figured it out.” The Clear Shallows King looked at her daughter with heartache.

She had more experience in life, and she knew that Long Chen was a young man who was like a shooting star that would never stop in one place just because it saw some pretty scenery. The goal he was chasing was just too high up and too far away.

While they spoke, the crowd had already started to ask Long Chen when he would leave for the Ancient Graveyard.

Long Chen told them he still had a month left.

“One month. That’s good. The Divine Martial Empire should have stabilized by then, and it’ll be enough time for Seventh Brother to prepare well. The Ancient Graveyard isn’t like the Divine Martial Empire; danger and opportunity co-exist there. Seventh Brother must make sufficient preparations for it!”

“That’s right! But today is a day worth celebrating. Shall we return to prepare the feast and have a drink?” said Long Yue’s younger brother.

Both siblings were at the Third Earthly Martial Stage. After Long Chen left, other than Long Shan, they would be the two strongest people in the empire. They had many things to attend to in the Divine Martial Empire.

After his suggestion, the group returned to the lavish Martial Overlord Palace. News of Long Chen killing Feng Xuan spread like the wind across the Divine Martial Empire. Any factions who previously were not willing to submit to the Dragon clan completely submitted to them after hearing the news.

This grand feast was a celebratory dinner for them. Without pressure from external enemies, everyone had great fun that night, and there were many great performances to watch. Long Chen was immersed in joy too, and they had many hours of fun. When everyone was tired out, they finally dispersed and Long Chen returned to the accommodations Long Yue had prepared for him.

After this, Long Chen would prepare for his trip while the others continued to plan the future management of the Divine Martial Empire. Although Long Yue was a woman, she was very talented in strategy, and a kind person too. Every member of the Dragon clan was kind, so Long Chen could rest easy leaving the Divine Martial Empire in their hands.

He knew that they were all freedom-loving people and may not like ruling over the Divine Martial Empire. However, since they had killed the Martial Overlord and overthrown the original rulers, if they did not control the empire firmly and quickly, millions of citizens would suffer!

And that was why they had stepped up.
