Dragon Blooded War God

Since she was brought into the Ancient Graveyard, it showed that she held a rank similar to the young master of the Divine clan. This teenage girl was likely a treasured child of the Wind clan.

Her light green dress gently billowed as she talked softly with the Wind patriarch. Her voice was melodious like an oriole.

The Wind patriarch looked at her with a smile and great approval.

Some time later, a middle-aged man walked into the main hall. He looked overjoyed and was in a hurry, but he forced himself to remain calm as he fell to his knees and reported excitedly to them, “Greetings, patriarch and Princess Lin. We heard amazing news from Black Gold City!”

“What news?” the Wind patriarch asked.

“The Martial God Tombstone has appeared in Black Gold City! That artifact has the ability to allow its user to comprehend the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage!” cried the middle-aged man.

The Wind patriarch shot to his feet with joy and said, “Is that really true? Is there really a Martial God Tombstone? And it was found in one of the cities we’re based in?”

The middle-aged man said hurriedly, “This news came from Black Gold City. It’s true!”

The Wind patriarch laughed loudly and said, “Good! Good! The heavens are helping the Wind clan. With the Martial God Tombstone, the Wind clan’s power will increase by several times!”

After laughing for a long time, he furrowed his brows slightly and said, “Zhilin, the Martial God Tombstone is no small artifact. A Universe Pouch cannot store such a gigantic object. I’m giving you this storage ring. Go to Black Gold City and get the Martial God Tombstone out of there. If the Gold clan receives news of this, they will surely fight us for it. I still have matters to attend to here in Giant Metal City, so I can’t go myself. I’ll leave this to you!”

The pretty girl nodded quickly and said, “Don’t worry, Grandfather. I promise I’ll settle this matter perfectly. I’ll hand the Martial God Tombstone over to you in two days.”

“You really are a good granddaughter. You’ve always stood out from your siblings.”

Feng Zhilin gave a faint smile. She had long gotten used to praise from her elders.

Out of all the Wind clan members of her generation, only Feng Zhilin had seventeen Heavenly Wind Veins. This meant that she had the potential to reach at least the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. Even the current patriarch only had sixteen Heavenly Wind Veins!

Within the Wind clan, the number of Heavenly Wind Veins basically equated to a cultivator’s potential. The more veins, the better their potential and body, leading to greater future achievements. So far, there was no one with the same number as Feng Zhilin.

She was the incomparable princess of the Wind clan.

That was why her grandfather had brought her to the Ancient Graveyard and always had her by his side. Any time they found something good, Feng Qing would always give it to Feng Zhilin immediately. After Feng Zhilin retrieved the Martial God Tombstone, she would be the first to use it!

She was eighteen years old but was already at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage and almost breaking through to the ninth. A prodigy like her was rare in the Heavenly Wind Empire. The Martial God Tombstone could very likely take her to the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, so it was the ultimate treasure to her.

However, Feng Zhilin was not very emotional, as she had always been well taken care of by Lady Luck. She had long gotten used to lucky events like that.

“Feng Yang, there isn’t anything out of the ordinary in Black Gold City right now, right? Could news of the Martial God Tombstone have been leaked out? Could the Gold clan know?” asked Feng Qing, worried about his darling granddaughter.

The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground quickly replied, “No, it was definitely not leaked. Not a single one of the regular cultivators in Black Gold City has left the city. If it wasn’t for the fact that we were afraid of too much condemnation, I would have killed them all. However, we are currently trapping them in the city, and will only lift the restrictions once Princess Lin has retrieved the Martial God Tombstone.”

“Mhm. You have done well. In the future, you’ll also get to use the Martial God Tombstone!” said Feng Qing mildly.

“Thank you, patriarch! I will work hard to break through to the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage so I can contribute more to the Wind clan!” Feng Yang said emotionally.

Once Feng Zhilin retrieved the Martial God Tombstone and finished using it, other people could have a share!

“Mhm. In that case, Zhilin, you may leave for Black Gold City.” Feng Qing looked at his granddaughter affectionately, then he took out a black ring. Dense runes were carved on the tiny ring. It gave the same feeling as a Universe Pouch, but it contained a much larger storage space. This was the storage ring that Feng Qing had mentioned!

“Take good care of this ring. We have no more than five of these in the Wind Clan. I’m giving this one to you today,” Feng Qing said smilingly.

“Thank you, Grandfather …” Feng Zhilin smiled and bent her knees in a slight curtsy to the patriarch.

“Right, patriarch, there’s another small matter …” said Feng Yang.

“What small matter?” Feng Qing asked.

“This morning, two people were heading towards Black Gold City. Coincidentally, two Wind clan cultivators ran into them, and our cultivators found that one of them had once killed a Wind clansman as he had our clan’s mark on him!”

“And then?” Feng Qing sounded displeased when he heard that his clansman was killed.

“Then our cultivators attacked them. They killed one of the two, but the other escaped. The person who escaped even killed one of our cultivators. He was very far away from Black Gold City, so he probably doesn’t know about the emergence of the Martial God Tombstone!” said Feng Yang.

“It’s good if he doesn’t know. We haven’t had any casualties during these past few days. This person probably came to the Ancient Graveyard because he previously killed someone from our clan.” Feng Qing did not dwell too much on it.

That was when Feng Zhilin spoke up coldly. “What is that person’s cultivation level? Why didn’t they pursue him? Did they just watch him leave?”

It was clear that she had a shorter temper than her grandfather.

Feng Yang knew her haughty personality, so he did not dare cross her and said hurriedly, “That was the strange part. He was only at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, but he used a combat technique that seemed to be at the Emperor-tier to kill one of our Sixth Earthly Martial Stage clansmen. Then he used a warp technique, turned into a ray of blood-colored light, and fled immediately …”

“Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, used an Emperor-tier combat technique, and killed a Sixth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator?” Feng Qing was in disbelief as he looked at Feng Yang and asked, “Are you kidding me? How could a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator have an Emperor-tier technique?”

“I don’t know either. That is what the other cultivator who ran back said. If a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator wanted to kill someone at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, how could they do it without an Emperor-tier technique?”

“So, it’s him …” Feng Zhilin’s lips curled into a faint smile.

“Zhilin, you know this person?” Feng Qing asked.

“Grandfather, do you remember what happened to the Divine clan’s young master, Wu Guangyu? When he first arrived at the Ancient Graveyard, he snatched a strange demonic wolf from someone and he’s been treating it like the ultimate treasure. That demonic wolf was snatched from a mysterious teenager called Long Chen who used an Emperor-tier combat technique on Wu Guangyu, and then used a warp technique to flee right in front of his eyes. This is clearly the same person,” Feng Zhilin explained calmly.

“Such a mysterious person. Zhilin, keep a lookout for him on this trip. If you snatch his Emperor-tier combat technique, that would be good,” said Feng Qing with a smile.

“Of course. Don’t worry, Grandfather.” Feng Zhilin smiled as well.

Feng Qing suddenly recalled something. After dismissing Feng Yang, he told Feng Zhilin, “White Lotus was in a hurry to bring Wu Guangyu to the Fire District. I’m guessing they’re going to search for the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance. If Wu Guangyu gets it, his strength will skyrocket, ensuring that he becomes the number one of the younger generation.”

“The Azure Lotus Lord?” Feng Zhilin pursed her lips and looked out the window. “My betrothed, my man. Without such achievements, how would he be fit to marry me?”

“Are you agreeable to this engagement? White Lotus and I were the ones who set this up,” said Feng Qing.

Feng Zhilin smiled and said, “Grandfather, don’t worry about it. Is there a man more impressive than Wu Guangyu in the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory? If I really must marry someone, he will do.”

“You’re a proud girl, aren’t you?” Feng Qing smiled exasperatedly. “It’s getting late. It’s better to get the Martial God Tombstone as soon as possible. Go now. I’ll send your Aunt Snow with you.”
