Chapter 534 - Dragon Warrior Descendant

The others did not speak; they were all looking at the leader, Long Yue. Long Chen did not fear this mysterious woman who seemed to be shrouded in mist, perhaps due to her having some Dragon Warrior energy in her. She felt familiar.

Long Yue spoke in a manner that was not rushed, but not dragged either. She seemed cold, but that was merely her personality. He could not measure her emotions at all from her voice.

Judging by her voice, she was, at most, in her thirties. Compared to the Demon Emperor, who was in his fifties, it meant that she was much more talented than he was.

Long Yue’s eyes scanned his body, and then she said, “When I was treating your injuries, I checked your body and indeed found that you also possess the blood of a Dragon Warrior. I thought I had made a mistake when I saw your Dragon Soul Transformation before.”

Long Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. She was treating him as a Dragon Warrior Descendant. Since he could not absolutely trust these people, he obviously would not tell them that he was a Dragon Warrior himself. His mind raced quickly, and he realized that he should pretend not to know anything. That was the more normal response.

Therefore, he replied cluelessly, “What is a Dragon Warrior?”

His response was within the six people’s expectations.

“During the Ancient Era of the Dragon Continent, ancient dragons ruled the world. However, they are all extinct now, and not much of their bloodline remains today. When one receives the Inherited Blood Essence from the dragons, they can become a powerful Dragon Warrior. We are the descendants of Dragon Warriors,” explained Long Yue.

“So that’s why I have powers like these. Is it because of the Dragon Warrior?” Long Chen replied with surprise. Due to the situation, he had no choice but to lie. No one other than Ling Xi and Xiaolang could know about this.

Long Yue nodded.

“In regards to my bloodline, only my younger brother and I remain. And we know that there are no more Dragon Warrior descendants in the Divine Martial Empire. This bloodline has been passed down for a long time, and many family members have gone missing in the middle. That is why I am sure that you and I are actually from the same family. We both have the same ancestor.” Even though she had found a family member, Long Yue did not seem very emotional. However, the others were grinning because their leader would not talk this much if not for Long Chen.

“Is that so?” There was confusion in his eyes, though he was only acting. It was just a white lie; he genuinely felt grateful to them.

“Do you have any other family members?” Long Yue asked hurriedly. This was the actual question she wanted to ask.

“I don’t. I’ve been alone for as long as I can remember,” said Long Chen.

The six of them were a little disappointed. After a while, Long Yue said, “I initially thought that if you had a large family, Dragon Warriors like us would be able to restore our glory by relying on you guys. This is a pity. But, Long Chen, since you and I are related by blood, and we saved you from the Ancient Demon Domain, I need to tell you something.”

“Please, do tell,” said Long Chen, nodding.

“Do you know who we are?” Long Yue asked.

It was true. Long Chen thought for a moment and made his decision.

Long Yue suddenly said, “Of course, the six of us are already sworn brothers and sisters. You’re only temporarily following us. If we find that you’re good, we don’t mind having a Seventh Brother.”

The others smiled.

The girl in blue said, “Yeah! Little Brother, you need to work hard! I’m the youngest here right now, and I’m getting bullied!”

Jiang Wuya said, “Looks like our anti-Martial Alliance team is getting stronger. Plus, he’s a Dragon Warrior like Yue’er! It’s a pity that Xiao Chen doesn’t like to be tied down and isn’t willing to team up with us. If he were here, we would be even stronger.

Long Chen knew that Xiao Chen was the other Long Chen, who was ranked third on the Bounty Board. He was probably even stronger than Jiang Wuya.

Long Chen was filled with gratitude to them. “Thank you all so much for saving me and taking me in. I will never forget this!”

This meant that he had decided to go with them. At least, Long Yue had already promised to clear all the hidden damage done to his body, and Long Chen needed some time to recover his strength. Their protection was what he needed most.

The five of them smiled when they heard him, while Long Yue’s face remained difficult to see. However, Long Chen saw joy in her eyes. Perhaps she felt the sense of familiarity in him too.

“Your name is Long Chen; Yue’er’s brother is also Long Chen. We call him ‘Xiao Chen’ though. As for you, we will call you by your name for now. After you have passed our test, we will call you ‘Seventh Brother.’”

The corners of Jiang Wuya’s mouth curled upwards. He paused, then he said, “Let us introduce ourselves. I am Jiang Wuya. Out of the six of us, I am the oldest, though they call me ‘Second Brother’ because Yue’er is the boss here. I am at the Second Earthly Martial Stage, while Yue’er is at the Third Earthly Martial Stage.”

Long Chen nodded. He already knew both their names, though this was his first time learning of their cultivation levels.

The rest of them began their self-introductions.

First was the man in long, white robes. He had been silent since the beginning and did not smile often. He was also very handsome and his features were sharp, like they were carved with a blade. He had a tall nose, and a cold sword light glinted in his eyes.

His most outstanding feature was his full head of long, white hair, including white eyebrows. They were a pure white that was easy on the eyes.

Long Chen sensed a terrifying Sword Qi radiating from his body.

He guessed that this person was a Sword Warrior.
