Chapter 37: The four princes

Chapter 37: The four princes

The South Village city was going crazy!

An unimaginable amount of people that were crammed in the city because of the remnant were all now madly squeezing into the valley next to it, digging the ground with a strange fervour.

This was caused by the events related to the “Dragon God’s bloodline’ that had reverberated throughout the country recently. Due to their own greed and the bored people of Jiang Hu, the mysterious news about the ‘Dragon God bloodline’ quickly spread further and further.

Unlike the remnants of the sect where its treasures were all easily found on the surface, most people that were late to the party had gotten nothing.

But as for the serendipity hidden in the valley, it required luck more than anything. The lucky would be able to find something just by digging, while the unlucky wouldn’t find a single thing even if they had flipped the entire mountain.

According to the most trustworthy piece of information that was being spread, there were the remains of a dragon god in this valley!

A dragon god! An existence that was never seen before in the entire continent.

And yet, there was one here.

It had descended upon their world along with the Jade Snow sect’s remnant, its corpse decaying with time to form the nine Dragon God Crystals that were hidden deep in the earth.

These crystals weren’t just any ordinary crystals, it was capable of bestowing a bloodline! No one had seen a real dragon before, but those that had obtained the crystals were sure from the sensation of the spiritual power and the suppressive might of the bloodline, it was a dragon!

It was a five-clawed red dragon with a burning fire in its eyes, it had an ancient yet terrifying aura capable of absolute tyranny within its time period. The turbulent draconic aura and spiritual power meant that it was extremely ancient!

There were five cultivators that had obtained a Dragon God Crystal for themselves, it was the fourth prince Murong Jing, ‘Starlight’ Liu Xing Mang, ‘Two-faced Three Stabs’ Wang Xiao Qi, the Moon Fire sect’s Le Qing Qing, and the wandering cultivator swordsman Ke Yao Qi.

There was also a small piece of information that ravaged the Hundred Flower sect, it was the rumour that Long Chen, the youth that had defeated Zhu Zhu Shu, had obtained one of the Dragon God Crystals.

Just the fact that the crystal was able to bestow a bloodline was tempting enough, making it comparable to a treasure of the Barren level.

Just by refining it, one could also break through their cultivation. Liu Xing Mang had broken through one layer to the third layer of the Manifestation realm, and Ke Yao Xi, an unknown Crystalline realm swordsman was quickly recruited by the Moon Fire sect after breaking through to the third layer of the Origin realm.

This further fanned the flames for the rest, wandering cultivators were all madly packed in the valley, even with people from the great influential forces easily in sight.

Treasures that were capable of raising a person’s cultivation were rare enough, and considering that not a lot of people had any luck in the remnants, most people placed their bets in this valley, hoping for a chance to ascend.

At this moment, there were only three Dragon God crystals left and a sizable amount of people that remained here, digging amongst the earth as they tried to hide from each other.

The people here weren’t just looking for treasure, they were also carefully observing the people around them that were digging.

One of them attacked while the other distracted, making it a frustrating fight for Murong Zhan.

Despite the fact that Murong Zhan had suppressed his strength and chose to seal away his Manifestation transformation, he was still impressed by his two younger brothers.

After a long time, he finally stopped and waved his arms in the air, speaking as he huffed, “Hu, I’m done, the two of you are too vicious! I didn’t expect fourth brother to be so strong, and seventh brother, you’re too cruel with your methods, I can’t block it all even if I had another pair of hands.”

And then, he started chortling.

The surrounding onlookers started to cheer as a powerless smile appeared on Murong Jing’s face and a shy smile appeared on Murong Xing’s.

Murong Jing spoke humbly, “Second brother, I was only able to gain the upper hand with my bloodline, it’s not very heroic considering that I wouldn’t even be able to counter a single attack without this bloodline.”

“Hahaha, it doesn’t matter, isn’t your bloodline considered to be part of your strength?” Murong Zhan was cheerful and unconcerned, a trait that had always been in his personality.

“Hmph! At least you’re self-aware that you’re no match for second brother!” An untimely voice came from the side.

The three quickly turned, noticing that the source was the fifth prince, Murong Jue.

Swaggering over to them, he didn’t forget to glance at Murong Jing in jealousy.

However, Murong Jin was unconcerned as he waved to the side, quickly beckoning for someone to walk forwards from the crowd. Arriving at his side, the person simply stood next to Murong Jin silently.

The crowd started to whisper amongst themselves.

“Who is that! Why is the fourth prince calling for him?”

“I don’t know, he doesn’t seem special, is he underage? He seems a bit young.”

“That’s right, haah! Look at the thing at his waist, what is that? A weapon?”

“Idiot, that’s a hidden weapon, si! I think I know who he is?”

“Who is it? Say it, quickly!”

“Think about it, aside from the remnant and the Hundred Flower sect, what other exciting events have happened?”

“Ah? You mean, he’s......”

Murong Jing patted the young man’s shoulder as he introduced him to the three people before him, “This is Tang Can, my brother. You all should know him as the Hidden Weapon Super Genius!”
