Chapter 595 – Exposing The Plot

Chapter 595 – Exposing The Plot

The group was about to separate and head out into two directions when Long Chen suddenly said, “Prince Lei Ming, please wait a moment.”

Lei Ming halted, and so did the other Battle Kings.

Long Chen and Lei Ming did not really know each other, so it was a bit strange when Long Chen stopped him. Even Jiang Wuya and the others did not know what Long Chen was up to.

Lei Ming furrowed his brows and turned to look at Long Chen. “What’s the matter?”

“I’d like to ask Old Vulture for some guidance on something; may I ask if you could take me to him?” Long Chen asked after some thought.

The moment Long Chen mentioned Old Vulture, Lei Ming’s expression stiffened. He shook his head instinctively and said, “You can’t. My father is deeply focused on his cultivation, so no one is allowed to disturb him!”

His tone was quite harsh, and he gave Long Chen no chance to reply. After that, he immediately turned and left.

Not only did Long Chen grow suspicious from his reaction, Jiang Wuya and the others did too. Lei Ming wanted to leave as quickly as possible to avoid more questions that would affect his father’s plans. However, he had not expected his reaction to cause even more suspicion.

Whoosh! The Dragon clan members surrounded him, and Jiang Wuya asked with confusion, “Brother Lei Ming, is there some problem with Old Vulture? Is there any way we can help?”

“Is that a joke? My father is a great Second Earthly Martial Stage cultivator—of course there’s no problem with him,” said Lei Ming, his face turning slightly green. His gaze swept across the group and he said, “Why are you guys blocking me? Don’t you think you can disrespect me just because you guys are close with our clan leader!”

Lei Ming was willing to say anything to leave.

“Lei Ming, how could you say that? The Dragon clan members are the Battle clan’s brothers!”

“Yeah! They are willing to risk their lives to help the Battle clan! How could you speak to them with that tone?!”

The other Battle clan members disapproved of Lei Ming’s unfriendly tone. Every Battle clan member had endless gratitude for Jiang Wuya and his team. Without the Dragon clan helping them, the Battle clan would likely be in ruins by now.

In the face of such pressure, Lei Ming’s face slowly turned pale. He knew that this was a very critical moment for his father, and he could not ruin the plan now!

That was why he chose to remain silent.

This brat is behaving very strangely; there must be something going on if he won’t let me meet Old Vulture. Yesterday, Old Vulture arrived late to the scene. Was it because he wanted to let Zhao Danchen kill Fourth Brother? And Old Vulture isn’t here now, which means ...

Long Chen’s face changed!

“Oh no, Second Brother!”

Rumble!

When Long Chen was still feeling uncertain about his guess, he heard the sounds of collisions up ahead. They were definitely the sounds of a fight between Earthly Martial Realm experts, as they were deep and dull, but very powerful!

Just as I expected! They’re fighting! If Long Chen was right, Old Vulture had been hiding here for a long time. This was a Second Earthly Martial Stage cultivator ambushing a First Earthly Martial Stage target; there was no way Lei Zhen would be able to hold him off for long if he was caught by surprise!

“Third Brother!” At this moment, Lei Zhen could only call for Jian Chen, who was outside the forbidden area. Since sound traveled quickly, both Long Chen and the others heard him at the same time.

Lei Zhen’s voice was filled with rage and even sounded a bit hoarse. He was likely injured, and severely too!

“It’s true!” Every Battle King was in disbelief. When they heard his shout for help, everyone was certain that Old Vulture and his son had plotted to harm Lei Zhen. Fortunately, Long Chen had discovered their plot. They could only pray that Long Chen and Jiang Wuya would arrive in time to save Lei Zhen. If Lei Zhen died, the Battle clan would be done for!

“Those bastards! Why would Old Vulture do this? Even though he has done so much for the Battle clan, he is looking for death this time! The warriors of the Battle clan will never forgive him!”

“Yeah! If Clan Leader really dies, how will we ever face our old clan leader in the afterlife?”

Everyone roared with rage, and their eyes turned red as they dashed through the forbidden area.

When Long Chen heard the voice, he was able to pinpoint Lei Zhen’s location. He sped up and zoomed through the dense forest. Every dull thud and furious roar coming from up ahead felt like direct blows to his heart!

Boom!

A powerful bolt of lightning exploded. Relying on the power of his Dragon Soul Transformation, Long Chen forced himself through and entered a col. He saw a large figure flying towards him!

Blood sprayed out of the person’s mouth, almost landing on Long Chen. When Long Chen looked closer, he realized that it was Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen’s face was pale, and several deep gashes ran across his chest, bleeding profusely. He was severely injured!

“Die!” A thin and small person was running after Lei Zhen. It was Old Vulture, whose features were twisted into a sneer. He had successfully injured Lei Zhen, leaving him incapacitated. Now he was launching a powerful talon attack in order to kill Lei Zhen once and for all!

That was when Long Chen showed up!

A blood-red figure suddenly appeared in front of Lei Zhen. He quickly caught Lei Zhen and then laid him flat on the ground. Then the red figure pounced on Old Vulture, and blood-red claws collided with his talons, which were crackling with electricity, causing a shrill screech from the collision.

“Who are you?!” Old Vulture never expected another person to show up. No one could find out that he was the one who had killed Lei Zhen. Now that Long Chen was here, he had to kill Long Chen too!

Long Chen’s claws carried as much force as Old Vulture’s attack. Old Vulture had used his favorite attack, which brought harm through lightning. However, he discovered that the blood-red flames were burning his skin, and they were more powerful than his talons!

Old Vulture was thrown back in the air!
