Chapter 52 - The Dragon’s Reverse Scale
It took Long Chen one whole day to run from Burning Heaven Valley back to the Desolate Mountains.
He sighed in relief when he saw that no changes or strange phenomena had occurred in the Desolate Mountains. It meant that the Ascension Fruits were still unripe and the war between the Bai and Yang families hadn't started yet.
“Luckily, the Ascension Fruits are still unripe. Xiao Xi, please don’t leave out important details like this again. Please just tell me if you are unsure.”
“Alright, alright. I will do so next time, so don’t nag me anymore!”
My family must be worried about me for going out at this moment. The Ascension Fruit could ripen at any moment, so I need to come up with a plan with the Yang patriarch as soon as possible.
Long Chen soon entered Baiyang Town. There weren’t as many people on the street as before. While it was peaceful, he knew this was the calm before the storm.
Even though the Yang family had the right to rule over Baiyang Town, the Bai family still had two Ninth Draconic Stage cultivators, making them slightly stronger than the Yang family.
The Bai family had not admitted defeat, and everyone in town knew the story of how the two sworn brothers had become sworn enemies. Now that the people from the Lingwu family were gone, the Bai family would most likely attack the Yang family.
No one dared to leave their homes at this point, leaving the entire town in calm silence.
Long Chen soon arrived at the entrance of the Yang family’s estate. There were only a few dozen guards stationed at the entrance, all of whom looked very nervous. Long Chen had a bad feeling and quickly made his way inside.
One of the guards spotted him and ordered someone to relay the news of Long Chen’s return to the Yang patriarch. The other guards came up to Long Chen. “Young master Chen, the patriarch has ordered for you to find him immediately upon your return.”
The guard’s nervous face spawned an uneasy feeling in Long Chen’s heart. He ran into the Yang family estate and soon met up with the Yang patriarch and the family members who had come to greet him. One look at the Yang patriarch’s gloomy face was all Long Chen needed to know that something was wrong. He quickly scanned the crowd and realized Yang Xueqing was missing! The rest of his family members were filled with sadness too.
“Grandfather, where is my mother?!”
The Yang patriarch grabbed Long Chen’s arm after he saw anger blooming on his face. The Yang patriarch sat him down on a stone bench and said in a serious tone, “Chen’er, don’t be rash now. There is still a way to salvage the situation. You have to listen to me calmly ...”
Long Chen’s eyes slowly grew red. Based on the way the Yang patriarch was acting, something had indeed happened to his mother!
It was true that he had some disagreements with her, but he didn’t allow anyone to hurt her!
Hearing that there was a chance to turn things around, Long Chen calmed down. “Grandfather, please tell me. I’m not rash. Tell me everything and I will listen to your suggestions on our next course of action.” Undertake a voyage to the genesis at n0v*lbin#★
The Yang patriarch nodded, his face filled with sadness and anger too. “Yesterday, Xueqing ran out of the town alone and was discovered by the two elders of the Bai family. She was captured and is currently in the Bai family estate! But don’t worry, they didn’t kill her immediately, so there’s still a chance she’s alive. Chen’er, I’m so useless. I went to the Bai family estate and fought with the two brothers, but I couldn’t win against them alone! However, I’m sure your mother is safe at the very least.”
“Long Chen, there is no need to search anymore. There’s no one here ...”
Long Chen had already run around the Bai family estate once when Ling Xi told him that.
The Yang patriarch was gloomy when he found no one too. “The entire Bai family has run off! Chen’er, what do you think they are planning to do?”
Long Chen forcefully suppressed his anger and attempted to calm down so he could think clearly, but every time he recalled the disgusting Bai family and how Yang Xueqing might be in danger, the killing intent in his heart continued to grow!
He had sworn to himself that he would protect her, but now he had failed! He felt extremely frustrated with himself! He grew to hate the Bai family even more!
I told them that they should never anger me, or all of them would die by my hand! Each and every one of them will have a death worse than Bai Zhanxiong’s!
Sensing Long Chen’s anger, the Yang patriarch didn’t know if he should be happy or angry too. He was happy because the relationship between the son and mother was mended, but he was angry because the Bai family had separated them just as they were about to reconcile!
Long Chen finally calmed down enough to think. “The Bai family must’ve run off because they were afraid I would kill them or use them as hostages when I returned. But they would never give up the Ascension Fruit, so the strongest members of their family must’ve gone to the Desolate Mountains. Grandfather, we need to go there now!”
The Yang patriarch felt that the suggestion was reasonable. The two of them were about to head out when a rainbow light exploded from the mountains. Then a fragrance blanketed the entire Desolate Mountains and even the outskirts of Baiyang Town!
“Long Chen! The Ascension Fruit has ripened prematurely! Go now, it will ripen very soon after the strange phenomena!”
“The Ascension Fruit?”
Long Chen’s eyes glittered with longing.
“If my deductions are right, they are trying to use my mother as a hostage to obtain the Ascension Fruit.”
Long Chen’s words made the Yang patriarch frown. “The Bai family hate us from the bottom of their hearts. There’s indeed no reason to keep her alive. Maybe it’s as you said, they want to keep her hostage to threaten us when the Ascension Fruit has ripened ... They know Yang Xueqing is important to us ...”
“So they are using my mother as a hostage to threaten me?”
Long Chen’s killing intent almost caused him to fall into a frenzy when he thought about Yang Xieqing. Ling Xi recalled a proverb when she felt his dense killing intent seeping out: Those who touched a dragon’s reverse scale would die!
Long Chen was a Dragon Warrior, and he had even obtained the Inherited Blood Essence belonging to one of the Ancient Dragon Ancestors. The Bai family had undoubtedly touched Long Chen’s reverse scale, causing him to be more angry than ever before!
Those who touched a dragon’s reverse scale would die!
Long Chen took a deep breath and ran towards the Great Desolate Mountains.
The Yang patriarch followed behind and witnessed Long Chen’s killing intent increasing to the brink of exploding. He was happy that Long Chen cared so much for his mother. Still, the Yang patriarch was worried that the Bai family might use Yang Xueqing to threaten them. His worries increased while he frowned ...
“I’m not sure if Chen’er can defeat Bai Li, but now that the Bai family has Yang Xueqing as their hostage, the Yang family might be doomed. Is this the end for us?”
