Chapter 651 – Huangfu Qi Is In Trouble

After Long Chen received the map, he gave the elder a few more reminders and left Huangfu City to head towards Lingering Wind City.

He had not expected the problem to have escalated to this level.

“Big Brother, we don’t have much time. Let me handle it,” said Mo Xiaolang.

Long Chen nodded and let him out. After Mo Xiaolang emerged, a bout of black flames quickly enveloped him and gradually enlarged until he turned into the Sun Devouring Wolf. Because they needed to travel fast, Xiaolang shrank his body by a huge margin until he was the size of a horse, which would make him faster.

Long Chen sat on his back and then, without another word, the Sun Devouring Wolf ran towards Lingering Wind City!

Mo Xiaolang was a Category Three King-tier, so he was faster than Long Chen now. Demonic beasts were also superior in stamina, so Mo Xiaolang could maintain his speed until they arrived.

They did not chat along the way. Long Chen took this chance to work towards the Third Earthly Martial Stage. There were many urgent matters he had to deal with these days, so he continued to work hard.

Xiaolang, on the other hand, passed his time rather carefreely.

He had extraordinary talent, which allowed him to level up endlessly as long as he could consume fire-type treasures.

Since they had a Sun Devouring Wolf, the estimated five-day travel time was compressed into three days. At noon three days later, Long Chen arrived at Lingering Wind City. It was a small city in the middle of a desert, located in a considerably poor and barren region. The cultivation level of the residents here was relatively low, far weaker than the people of other cities in the Divine Martial Empire. Even the earthly Qi in the area was almost the same as the capital of Cangyang Kingdom.

This was considered extremely weak in the Divine Martial Empire.

“Huangfu Fengchen is supposed to be here, but this is a big place. How will we find him?” Xiaolang turned back into human form and stood on the walls of Lingering Wind City.

“It’s simple. Watch,” said Long Chen, then he turned to look at the city and shouted, “Huangfu Fengchen, it’s me, Long Chen! Come to the city gates!”

Long Chen’s shout traveled across the whole city. He was strong, so this was an easy feat. The Martial Alliance did not have a presence in this city, but even if they did, those people would not dare show their faces when they heard Long Chen’s name.

But many people emerged to check him out.

Long Chen’s voice was like a rumble of thunder. Most of the people were startled, and they quickly understood that he was a master if he was willing to be so boisterous. Also, why did Long Chen’s name sound so familiar?

Lingering Wind City was very isolated and considered just a small city in the desert. That was why very few people knew about Long Chen.

Many people on the streets peeked out to look towards the city gates. However, Long Chen’s voice sounded fierce, so they merely looked and started to discuss, not daring to approach.

Long Chen’s gaze swept across every face, but none of them was Huangfu Fengchen. However, Long Chen was not impatient. If Huangfu Fengchen truly was here, he had definitely heard him. Now that he had lost all his cultivation, he needed some time to travel across this city.

Long Chen stood at the highest point of the city walls, waiting for him.

Lady Xuan was vicious. She had destroyed all eighteen of Huangfu Fengchen’s Martial Veins. No amount of spiritual medicine could heal him, and his essence was completely lost. He was just a cultivation-less cripple now.

Anger surged in Long Chen’s heart. He clenched his fists tight!

“I went to the Huangfu clan and killed Huangfu Yu,” said Long Chen, clenching his teeth.

“Oh?” There was a twinkle in Huangfu Fengchen’s eyes. He chuckled lightly and said, “Good one. Alleviates some of my anger.”

“Is there any possibility of you recovering? I can bring you guys to the Battle clan. There are many people there, and they can take care of you. They’re old friends; you can trust them.” Long Chen knew that Huangfu Fengchen and Long Yue had a cordial relationship.

Life here was quite difficult.

But Huangfu Fengchen shook his head with a smile and said, “There’s no need. I think it’s quite nice here. I’m afraid I won’t adapt to the Battle clan. Living here is enough for two normal people like us.”

Long Chen understood. If he went to the Battle clan, he would be surrounded by masters everywhere, which would only make him more miserable. This place was probably more suitable for him. Living out the rest of his life in this isolated place wasn’t a bad choice.

“Two people?”

Long Chen knew that there was something wrong.

He had not sensed Huangfu Qi’s aura since he arrived, and based on Huangfu Fengchen’s words, it seemed like Huangfu Qi was not with them.

Long Chen recalled Huangfu Yu’s words to himself. He had said that Huangfu Fengchen was in Lingering Wind City, but he had not mentioned Huangfu Qi. Long Chen had only assumed that they were together since they were all missing.

Long Chen’s face changed.

Next to him, Mo Xiaolang’s face also changed.

Long Chen took a deep breath and asked, “Huangfu patriarch, where is Qi Qi?”

Crash! The lady fell to her knees tearfully. It was difficult to speak through her tears.

Huangfu Fengchen’s eyes were fixed on Long Chen. He said, “Long Chen, your arrival today has shown me hope. We would like to beg you for a favor! I hope you can agree to it!”

“Tell me!” Long Chen had a bad feeling. He helped the lady up and let her sit on the edge of the bed, then he looked at Huangfu Fengchen.

Looking at Long Chen’s determined gaze, Huangfu Fengchen knew that they truly had hope now.

Long Chen took relationships seriously. If they needed help, he would surely agree wholeheartedly!

Huangfu Fengchen cut right to the chase. “The Huangfu clan is a branch of the Wind Clan, which is the ruler of the Heavenly Wind Empire. A while back, a woman from the Wind Clan came. You probably know this. She came to get the Ancient Token. Initially, I thought she would leave once she received it, but I didn’t expect her to find three Heavenly Wind Veins in Qi Qi. This is a vein that every Wind Clan member has in them. That was why she plans to transplant these Heavenly Wind Veins into her own body. This will kill Qi Qi!”
