Chapter 542 - Golden Lightning Stallions

“We need to separate into three groups,” said Long Yue.

“Why?” They didn’t understand her plan.

“Long Chen needs to take advantage of the Day of the Nine Suns to reach the Ninth Passage Stage. He will be using the Emperor Flame Pearl, which I’m afraid will cause a huge commotion, meaning the pursuers from the Martial Alliance will discover us easily. It will be a risky situation because Long Chen cannot be interrupted during the process, even if we are fighting. However, none of us can be sure that the other party won’t use some sneak attack on him, right? That is why it would be very dangerous if we all stayed together,” Long Yue explained.

“Can’t we use the Thunder Bat Dragon to travel quickly?” asked Lei Zhen.

“It’s a very big target. In the past, the Martial Alliance was wary of us and did not chase after us even when they saw us. However, now it’s different. They have sent masters after us; perhaps they want to at least teach us a lesson? No matter how high and how fast we fly, a beast that large is quite attention-grabbing.”

“Yue’er, just tell us your plan,” said Jiang Wuya.

She nodded and said, “When the seven of us are together, we’re a huge target. We need to separate to be safe. First, I will stay behind to cover for you guys and do my best to stop our pursuers. You guys will be safer that way.”

“Yue’er, it’ll be too dangerous for you to stay behind alone. I’ll stay back to help too. It will be safer with two people,” Jiang Wuya said hurriedly.

Seeing as he was insistent, she nodded. “Alright. With you helping me, they will be even safer. “

“Where will the two groups go?” asked Long Chen. He had a feeling that Long Yue would plan around him.

“This place is the Red Souls’ base. Fifth Brother Chi Ying will need to stay back for a while because a huge number of them will be moving, plus they have to move in secret. After everything is done, only will he be able to leave for the Cloud Dream Swamp. Long Chen, you must leave first, and you must find a place with nobody around. Do your best to reach a desolate place before the Day of the Nine Suns. Also, don’t travel in a straight line from here to the Cloud Dream Swamp. It’s fine if you’re a bit slower. Safety is of paramount importance.”

Everyone nodded. Her plan made sense. Jian Chen said, “Seventh Brother is very weak now and needs protection. I’ll go with him.” Other than Long Yue and Jiang Wuya, he was the strongest and therefore the most suitable to protect him.

“I want to go with Third and Seventh Brother,” said Lan Ling’er.

Lei Zhen looked around and said, “Since Third Brother and Sixth Sister will be together, I’ll stay back to help Fifth Brother. When the arrangements for the Red Souls are settled, we’ll go to the Cloud Dream Swamp. We’ll pick a spot to meet up there.”

“Mhm. It’s set, then. Seven people, divided into three groups. Wuya and I will delay the pursuers. The ones coming are only at the Second Earthly Martial Stage at best, so the two of us will be able to deal with them. As for Chi Ying and Lei Zhen, please be careful.”

Jian Chen said, “Since we have four days, I think the depths of the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range should be a good place. No one lives there, so it’ll be a suitable palace for Long Chen to use the Emperor Flame Pearl to ascend to the Ninth Passage Stage.”

The trio nodded, and two of them mounted their Golden Lightning Stallions while Long Chen sat on Xiaolang’s back. They bade the others farewell, then went towards the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range.

To protect Long Chen, Jian Chen and Lan Ling’er traveled next to him, one on each side.

There was a mountainous area outside the forest. Terrain like that was advantageous to Xiaolang, so their speed was not affected.

“Long Chen, go this way!” Jian Chen led the way according to the map in his memory. Long Chen followed him while Lan Ling’er followed casually behind them. Since there were no obstacles, they traveled quickly. Jian Chen had chosen a deserted area to travel through, so they did not see anyone.

Time passed quickly.

They hurried along until they finally arrived at the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range a few nights later. The Day of the Nine Suns was the next day.

Sister Long Yue must have already dealt with the pursuers. Fourth and Fifth Brothers must have started to travel towards the Cloud Dream Swamp too. I must go meet them as soon as I finish cultivating on the Day of the Nine Suns. Then we’ll go search for information on the Red Emperor Seal.

Once I reach the Ninth Passage Stage and have the power of the Golden Crow in my body, I will be countless times stronger. I wonder if anyone from the Ancient Demon Domain will be at Cloud Dream Swamp; this will be a huge surprise for them!

The Five Emperor Seals is an Emperor-tier combat technique. If the Martial Alliance had not placed an information lockdown, a huge, violent battle would have taken place already! This must be the most powerful secret treasure that has ever appeared in the Divine Martial Empire! Surely tens of thousands of people are fighting for it! And I have the Black Emperor Seal ...

Long Chen knew that he was very weak right now. There were countless masters in the Divine Martial Empire like Long Yue, the Demon Emperor, the Huangfu clan patriarch, and the Martial Overlord. He still had no right to fight them. However, he chose to believe in himself because he was a Dragon Warrior.

Of course, he would only be able to utilize the powers of the dragons when he had completely absorbed the Inherited Blood Essence. So far, he had only absorbed a hundredth of it and was only a normal Dragon Warrior.

The Emperor Flame Pearl is my chance to become stronger, then the Five Emperor Seals will be an even greater chance. The Emperor Flame Pearl is in my hands already, then I’ll need to get the Five Emperor Seals. After that, I’ll be able to hurry to Ling Xi’s country as fast as possible. I must not give up!

Long Chen was determined.

He would work hard for the Red Emperor Seal!

He looked up. They were still traveling, but he knew that when dawn came, it would be the Day of the Nine Suns. They were already very close to the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range.

Jian Chen suddenly turned around to say, “On the Day of the Nine Suns, the nine suns don’t remain in the sky for the entire day. They will only be there for two hours at noon. That is why we must arrive in the deepest parts of the Swirling Clouds Mountain Range before noon tomorrow. Looking at our current speed, we have enough time.”
