He didn’t know the exact location of the Battle clan, only the general direction, so he headed north and gathered information.

He was afraid for the other’s safety if the Martial Alliance attacked, so he did his best to travel faster as he cultivated the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw.

A blood-red figure ran towards the north.

The Divine Martial Empire was roughly tens of times larger than the Cangyang Kingdom. Even though Long Chen’s speed had increased drastically, it still took him more than ten days to reach the northern region. He estimated that he would need another five days to reach where the Battle clan was located.

He had spent those ten days immersed in the cultivation of the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. In fact, he had almost mastered one of the basic techniques recorded in the book.

Other than the basic technique, there were two more techniques. He had watched Long Yue use one of them, the Five Piercing Dragons. The two techniques were the essence of the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, but the basic technique was still usable.

As he journeyed, he found some demonic beasts as practice targets. But he could kill normal demonic beasts without even transforming. Demonic beasts at the Category One King-tier and below were no match for him.

No wonder this is the secret technique of Long Yue’s family. It’s several times stronger than the Soul Dispersing Eagle Claw!

Long Chen admired how strong the technique was.

He could now be called a true expert after he obtained the Golden Crow’s soul remnants, advanced into the Earthly Martial Realm, and mastered the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw.

Long Chen was no longer the person who had to run and hide when entering the Divine Martial Empire for the first time.

His thick Dragon Soul Essence was like a raging river coursing through his body. The maelstrom in his Martial Meridians contained unimaginable power, and the nine burning suns were horrifyingly strong.

Long Chen ran into a small forest. Several thin lines appeared on the trees. When he exited from the other side, the dense trees were reduced to ashes. An entire forest had disappeared and left nothing behind.

“At least I’ve mastered the basic technique. As for the other two techniques … Hehe …” Long Chen smiled confidently and continued his journey.

Long Chen was taking in the beautiful scenery when he unexpectedly found a clean and wide path. Several demonic beasts were pulling carriages on the path.

“What is this place?” Long Chen looked around and saw that there was something interesting towards the left of the path. Deep inside the forest was a kaleidoscopic mist that barely showed the outline of a building.

The building was large and beautiful. Long Chen estimated that tens of thousands of people could live in it.

He didn’t want to know what it was and was about to leave when he heard someone saying that it was where the Huangfu family was located.

“To think that the Huangfu family lives here!” Long Chen was shocked. Huangfu Fengchen had left the Cloud Dream Swamp moments before him. He never thought that he would reach Huangfu Fengchen’s home so soon. He’s probably at home now since he can run faster than me.

Even though it was nighttime, the Huangfu family’s building was bright due to the copious amount of lanterns.

“Might as well visit them since I’m already here. I don’t know if I will have a chance to come back here in the future. I definitely won’t have the time to return Qiqi her fifty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills when I start looking for the Ancient Token, so I better do it now. It probably won’t take too much time.”

He then approached the building.

Since he was visiting them, he took some time to clean himself up.

The Huangfu family was as strong as the Ancient Demon Domain, but they followed the ruling method of a family.

Long Chen guessed that they probably operated just like the Lingwu family.

However, the Huangfu family only had one patriarch, while the Lingwu family had four.

He soon reached the grand gates of the building. Long Chen noticed that the people who entered and exited presented a special token. There were guards stationed outside the building, and they noticed Long Chen fairly soon. One of them approached him and asked, “Who are you? Why are you loitering around here?”

“I am Long Chen. I wish to greet the patriarch of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Fengchen. Could you pass on the message?”

“Long Chen?” The guard was shocked. “Which Long Chen?”

Long Chen’s name had been spread far and wide. There was only one Long Chen before, but now there were two.

Long Chen couldn’t do anything about it, so he explained, “I’m not on the bounty board. I’m also the best friend of Miss Huangfu Qi. I am here to see her.”

“Not on the bounty board? Both Long Chens are on it, but I think I know which Long Chen you are if you say you are Miss Qiqi’s best friend. You must be the one from the Ancient Demon Domain.”

“That’s me.” Long Chen didn’t know his name was on the bounty board.

The guard nodded. “Alright. Let me take you to the Patriarch.”

Maybe it was the influence of Huangfu Fengchen, but Long Chen had a feeling that everyone in his family was easy to talk to and was not bound by rules. It was a good feeling. While walking, they chatted and Long Chen learned the guard’s name, Huangfu Song. Coincidentally, Huangfu Song was just slightly younger than Huangfu Fengchen.

The Huangfu family estate was beautiful compared to the desolate Ancient Demon Domain.

“The Patriarch just returned two days ago and is in the study. Let me lead you there.”

“Thank you.”

They followed a small path and soon reached the study room.

Though they called it a room, it was actually an entire building. The building was graceful and timeless. Long Chen saw Huangfu Fengchen standing outside, waiting to greet him. He could hear his laughter from far away.

“Long Chen, I just invited you to the Huangfu family and you actually came so soon! What a surprise.” He was indeed surprised that Long Chen would show up so soon.

Long Chen smiled.

He had a good impression of Huangfu Fengchen. “I’m not here to see you. I’m here for Qiqi.”

“So you are here because you are enamored by my daughter’s beauty? Alright. Huangfu Song, go and arrange a banquet. I will bring Long Chen there later.”

Huangfu Song left to prepare the banquet.

Following Huangfu Fengchen’s lead, Long Chen talked with him as they made their way to another building.

“I’ve heard the news about the Battle clan. You are heading there, right? You must’ve accidentally come across this path and ended up here.” Huangfu Fengchen deduced exactly what had happened.

Long Chen nodded. “I didn’t know the Huangfu family was here. I overheard someone saying that on the path and came over.”

“Where is that violent Long Yue? I don’t see her.”

“Her brother got imprisoned by the Martial Overlord, so she went to the Nine Spirit Purgatory.”

“What?” Huangfu Fengchen’s face paled. “Long Yue is too rash. That is not a place she can enter and exit freely. I fear that she is in danger this time.”

It was clear that the Nine Spirit Purgatory was a dangerous place if even Huangfu Fengchen would say that. Long Chen frowned in worry. The Battle clan needed him, but he also couldn’t relax when Long Yue was in such a dangerous predicament.

All of them were in danger, but he wasn’t strong enough to solve their problems. What was he supposed to do?

Long Chen didn’t have a plan.

Huangfu Fengchen stopped and looked at Long Chen with a conflicted expression. “Long Yue must be there by now, and I can’t help you at the Battle clan either. Long Chen, to be honest, my family has only survived up till now because we took no side and did not go against the Martial Alliance. Thousands of my family member’s lives are in my hands. I fear that I cannot help you in regards to the Battle clan.”

He thought Long Chen was here to ask him for help.

But Long Chen actually understood Huangfu Fengchen’s predicament. Since they allied themselves with the Martial Alliance, they would definitely be in trouble if they went and helped the Battle clan. Huangfu Fengchen would never risk the lives of his family members.

Long Chen never thought of asking Huangfu Fengchen for help to begin with.

“You are thinking too much. I am really here to see Qiqi. I still owe her fifty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. If I don’t return them to her now, I probably won’t have a chance to do so again.”

Huangfu Fengchen sighed when he heard Long Chen say that. “I’m so sorry that I can’t help you, but since you are here, let me show you my hospitality. I don’t want Long Yue to call me stingy! Hahaha!”

Huangfu Fengchen brought Long Chen into the side palace. He sat at the head of the table while Long Chen sat to his right. The table was already filled with food.

Long Chen had just sat down when a yellow whirlwind burst through the door and blew towards him.

“Big Brother!” Huangfu Qi sat on Long Chen’s lap.
