Chapter 715 – Martial God Tombstone

Chapter 715 – Martial God Tombstone

Long Chen’s objective was to sneak in and kill that man!

He did not take his original path back to the Iron City. After half a day, he saw the city once again. Its green flag was very eye-catching as it fluttered in the wind. This trip to the Wind clan was unquestionably dangerous, but since Long Chen had once escaped the Divine clan’s young master, this would surely be easier. The ultimate masters of the Wind clan would certainly not be inside.

With Blood Warp, he was not worried about being in mortal danger. He also had the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so he could carefully avoid other people. The ground around the city was not flat, with many metal pieces protruding from the ground. Long Chen hid behind these metal protrusions and managed to sneak into the Iron City without anyone noticing him.

The city was huge. If this were in the outside world, it would have fit more than a hundred thousand people. Right now, only a few hundred were inside, so it felt empty. With Long Chen’s ability to sense anyone within five hundred meters, it would be difficult for other people to find him.

This whole city is forged from iron. Long Chen looked around in wonder. There were many buildings, houses, streets, and bars around. Everything was there, but walls that should have been built with bricks were built with iron instead. It radiated a cold, solemn, and intimidating aura with a faint iron smell in the air. Even the floors were made of iron with beautiful patterns etched on it.

This city was clearly forged by someone. Was the Ancient Graveyard once like the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, a place where people lived? Did something happen that led to this place becoming deserted and empty like a graveyard? Long Chen wondered.

All Long Chen wanted to do was find the person who killed Shao Yu. As long as he was killed, Long Chen would leave with peace of mind and deal with his own matters. He did not feel like he was being nosey—he considered taking revenge as one of his personal matters.

The people of the Wind clan would surely be in the center of the city, so Long Chen headed in that direction. Only a few steps in, Long Chen looked up and saw a strange object surrounded by countless orbiting iron pieces at the center of the city. It released strong energy ripples, and when the ripples swept across his body, he felt like his blood was boiling and was instantly filled with battle intent!

Since he was quite far away from it, he could not see it clearly. Little Cat laughed incredulously. “You’re a lucky brat. Can’t believe you found it after sneaking into this city.”

“What is it?” Based on Little Cat’s remark, Long Chen knew that it was a treasure.

“A cultivator carved his life’s knowledge on that tombstone, so remnants of his Martial Soul remain on it. If you can get this tombstone and learn the knowledge it contains, you will progress ten times faster in your cultivation,” said Little Cat lazily.

“Tombstone?” Long Chen was instantly excited.

Ten times faster cultivation. This was extremely tempting to Long Chen. This was the ultimate treasure to him. In fact, it was more suitable for him than the Five Emperor Seals because Long Chen’s cultivation level was insufficient. If he could increase his cultivation level, his overall strength would skyrocket.

In the beginning, he could not see it clearly since many iron buildings were blocking it. He could only see one of its corners, but when he peered closely, he realized it was the corner of the tombstone. The tombstone was completely black and released strange ripples that could affect Long Chen’s desire to fight. He was still too far away, so Long Chen continued heading towards the center of the city, passing many people on the way.

The Wind clan’s people must be guarding the Martial God Tombstone. The person who killed Shao Yu might be there. I have the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so I should observe for a while. I need to understand the situation in this Iron City before I make a move. If not, it’ll get complicated ...

With that thought, Long Chen snuck towards the city center.

***

More than fifty kilometers away from this Iron City was an even larger Iron City. This was the largest city in the Metal District, and it was at least ten times larger than the city Long Chen was currently in. It was a city approximately the size of Martial Overlord City, and it could fit hundreds of thousands of people.

Many golden buildings sparkled in this black Iron City, especially the buildings in the center, which were all golden. There was a golden palace in the exact center of the Iron City. It looked magnificent and regal, showing that it was likely the core of the whole Metal District.

The name of this city was Giant Metal City!

The patriarch of the Wind clan and the other leaders of the Wind clan were based here, at the same time expanding their reach in all directions so the Wind clan was in most of the Metal District. The Wind and the Divine Clan were the two major factions this time. The Divine Clan took over the Fire District, which was also one of the five districts, while the Wind clan took over most of the Metal District. A small portion of the Metal District was taken over by the Gold Clan of the Five Elements Alliance. This also meant that the Wind clan’s largest rival in the Metal District was the Gold Clan.

Both factions were old enemies by now, and they fought often.

More than a thousand cultivators had come to the vast Giant Metal City. The clan leader of the Wind clan was based here, so it was the safest place in the whole Metal District. Even the Metal Devouring Wind did not come here. Of course, no one could stay in this city forever, as that would defeat the purpose of coming to the Ancient Graveyard.

The main objective of coming to the Ancient Graveyard was to kill people and rob treasures!

The truly vicious ones would immerse themselves in massacre the moment they arrived. During this process, they would use the treasures they obtained to strengthen themselves!

Some people lived; some people died. Those who lived would become true elites!

A thousand people were scattered throughout Giant Metal City. The core members and military might of the Wind clan were naturally in the palace at the center of the district.

At this moment, two people were chatting in the golden pavilion at the center of the palace.
