Dragon Tamer - Chapter 942

Chapter 942: Chapter 946: If There is an Afterlife, I Must… Chapter 942: Chapter 946: If There is an Afterlife, I Must… Tianshu God Manor was Hua Chou’s organization after all.

Even though Yuheng Star Palace was stronger than Tianshu, it would definitely not openly go to war with Tianshu God Manor before the imminent merger of the major God Territories.

Speaking of this, Linghu Ling suddenly realized a problem.

Hadn’t it been agreed to talk with the people from Tianshu God Manor first? If they were willing to hand over the Silver Dawn Shard for the Azure Rain Tribulation, then they would only be left with the Earth Clan Sect to deal with. But for some reason, it had suddenly turned into a forceful seizure. Moreover, Zhu Minglang had killed quite a few of Hua Chou’s subordinates at the Buddha Pagoda Temple.

With enemies on both sides, Zhu Minglang also began to feel a headache coming on.

If he could use the Sword Awakening Power, it would be okay, as he alone could hold his own. His dragon pets could take care of the other side, and Linghu Ling could ensure the safety of the ancient village. It’s just that Sword Evil Dragon was pressing aggressively, suppressing a part of his strength.

“Sister Linghu, we have to leave this place. If people from Tianshu God Manor come, standing here as representatives of Yuheng Star Palace, I’m afraid it will provoke more disputes between the two great God Territories,” Shuangfawei Louqian came over and said nervously.

Tianshu and Yuheng were the first two adjoining territories and their relationship was at its most sensitive stage. If they could coexist peacefully, then other God Territories might also take this as a model, adhering as much as possible to a peaceful agreement. However, if Tianshu and Yuheng clashed directly from the start, even killing each other’s representative gods, it would be a terribly bad precedent for the inception of the Divine Land…

Therefore, God Yuheng specifically instructed them to avoid direct conflict with Tianshu, as this was related to the future trend of the Divine Land and could not be influenced by their personal grievances.

Linghu Ling glanced at Zhu Minglang, who was not in good shape.

At that moment, Zhu Minglang was being invaded by the Evil Sword Dragon, and his eyes had completely turned into a strange silver color, even his skin was covered with silver evil patterns.

Indeed, Zhu Minglang’s current situation was not very optimistic.

His chance at becoming a God-lord was fraught with danger, it was a severe test for him, and his path had become somewhat extreme. If he couldn’t end it perfectly, he might be killed by both major organizations.

“Lou Qian, you go. Tell Immortal Master Lu Wu that I have been influenced by the Evil Sword Sect and have defected from Yuheng,” Linghu Ling made her choice in the end. She slowly clenched the Green Phoenix’s Main Sword in her hand and stared at Tianshu God Manor.

Yuheng behind her couldn’t clash with Tianshu, but she herself could.

Influenced by the Evil Sword Sect, defecting from Yuheng.

That was a reasonable explanation. Yuheng was ultimately the more dominant party. By giving this answer, even Tianshu God Manor wouldn’t dare to break relations with Yuheng over this matter.

“Ah????” Hearing this, Lou Qian felt like she no longer recognized Linghu Ling.

Just like that, the two of them hadn’t even had a fling!

Lou Qian really couldn’t think of any explanation to justify Linghu Ling’s current decision.

To leave Yuheng for this odious man?

To destroy her own path to immortality, the honor she had always been revered for?

“Miss Linghu, you really don’t have to do this,” Zhu Minglang said, completely taken aback by Linghu Ling’s action.

Linghu Ling couldn’t really have…

Actually fallen for him, could she?

Even if she really had, there was no need to go this far.

“If you become an Evil Sword Immortal, it would be ten times more terrible than the Azure Rain Tribulation. I’m not doing this for you, but because I don’t want to brew an even greater divine disaster!” Linghu Ling said.

“Uh…” Zhu Minglang indeed felt a twinge of emotion.

Especially after the plastic romance between Goddess Qiuci and Su Chun, Zhu Minglang was even more aware of how selfish each deity was on their path to immortality, and how eager they were to climb higher…

Although Linghu Ling said that she was afraid he would become an Evil Sword Immortal and wreak havoc, from his perspective, what she was doing was tantamount to abandoning her identity with Yuheng to stand by his side!

Zhu Minglang now somewhat understood why Star Painting said there was a thread of fate between him and Linghu Ling. If it weren’t for the fact that he already had a family commitment, he would be so moved as to offer himself…

In short, from now on, Linghu Ling was his brother!

If anyone dared to touch her, they would not be forgiven!

“Thank you, Fairy. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely…” Zhu Minglang thought about it but couldn’t find the right words, so he simply stopped there.

Linghu Ling didn’t harbor any extra sentiments. In her opinion, what she was doing was right, so she did it. As for the misunderstanding in Zhu Minglang’s strangely colored eyes, she couldn’t be bothered to care.

But Lou Qian, tears welled up in her eyes.

She understood now.

She understood everything.

“Sister Linghu, you’re really foolish, so foolish. To ruin your immortal path over a man–it’s not worth it,” she thought.

Yet for some reason, there was a sliver of envy.

Whether mortal or immortal, to experience such a passionate love, even if it meant being shattered to pieces, it would still be worth it…

“Wuu wuu wuu, sister, I wish you happiness…” Lou Qian cried and flew away. As a Celestial Maiden of the Yuheng Star Palace, she really couldn’t linger any longer.

Linghu Ling wanted to kill this annoying girl, but there wasn’t time. The golden cloud of the Tianshu God Manor had already appeared above, and the Golden Supreme Martial Monks were continuously chanting something. The sound of the Buddhist chants was like thunder striking on the head, making it hard to stand stable. It seemed like the only way to breathe normally was to kneel and sprawl on the ground.

“How about you deal with the Earth Clan Sect, and I’ll take on these from the Tianshu God Manor?” Zhu Minglang said to Linghu Ling.

Linghu Ling shook her head and said, “You hold a grudge against Tianshu and act extremely ruthlessly. I will obstruct them but won’t harbor a killing intent. No matter how irreconcilable you and Hua Chou are, he is still the God’s Head of Tianshu. Besides, you still need to establish a foothold there…”
“I don’t want to either, but the Evil Sword Dragon indeed had some influence on me,” Zhu Minglang responded.

Zhu Minglang was not acting on impulsive pleasure. Back in the Buddha Pagoda Temple, when the Evil Sword Dragon had the upper hand, his entire being was filled with an especially heavy malevolent aura. Then, thinking about the oppression and exploitation imposed by Hua Chou and Tianshu God Manor on those suffering worshipers, he couldn’t help but harbor a killing intent, which naturally also affected his own dragons.

“It’s not too bad now, as long as you can recover later. After everything, you can pin all actions on the Evil Sword Sect,” Linghu Ling had her own plans.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

Linghu Ling was indeed the fairy envoy sent by the Zheng Cang. Without her vital aid this time, Zhu Minglang might really have ended up as an Evil Sword Immortal. After all, being pushed to this point, the only way out for Zhu Minglang would be to become an Evil Sword Immortal…

Xie Cang kept dragging him into the abyss, and at the same time, Zheng Cang was unknowingly saving him.

Zhu Minglang had not expected that his chance for advancement to the God principal would be this thrilling. Had he known, he would have proceeded steadily and, just as the Xuange God advised, chosen a slower way to step into the God principal realm. This shortcut… was too exhilarating, his heart could hardly take it!

“Fairy, I will never forget your kindness. If things really did turn bad, I promise you, I will not be swayed by the Evil Sword. Even if it means drawing my sword to take my own life, I will never cause trouble for the living!” Zhu Minglang declared solemnly.

Linghu Ling glanced at Zhu Minglang, pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Zhu Minglang wasn’t sure if he had said something wrong or what had happened, but before he could ask, the Buddhist chants boomed even louder above. It felt as if his head housed a huge iron bell, being struck violently, threatening to explode his skull.

The sound of the Buddhist chants was supposed to cleanse the soul and purge evil thoughts, but they agitated Zhu Minglang so much he almost drew his sword to slay indiscriminately.

That irritation, that aggression, nearly unleashed the Evil Realm within Zhu Minglang.

Tianshu, who should be concerned about the countless living beings, paid not the slightest attention to the Azure Rain Tribulation or the Silver Dawn Evil Thing. They only cared about their exalted God Hua Chou’s swift recovery.

They truly deserved to die!

Those lackeys of Hua Chou!

Zhu Minglang took deep breaths continuously.

He suppressed the urge to kill the two Heavenly Star Monks and directed the battle of every dragon with his mind as much as possible.

Under these circumstances, the Five Elements Spirit Chain played a role. The Thunder Emperor Purple Dragon, Nuwa Dragon, Refining Ash Black Dragon, and Azure Phoenix were all marked with the Five Elements Bead charms, and as the Little Gold Dragon’s strength gradually increased, the effects of the charms produced by the Five Elements Spirit Chain grew even stronger…

The Little Gold Dragon was still unable to confront battles of this level but, as the number-filler among the Five-Element Dragons, the Five Elements Bead Shield granted by the Five Elements Spirit Chain acted like a thick layer of Dragon Scales covering every dragon.

The Five Elements Bead Shield produced by the Five Elements Spirit Chain may not stand out against the might of God principal and God General Level beings, but it was quite effective against those grouped Great Swordsmasters from the Earth Clan Sect.

The so-called Earth Centipede Sword Formation relied on outnumbering their opponents to perform at a level close to a God principal powerhouse. However, the Five Elements Bead raised the defense power of the Five-Element Dragons’ Dragon Scales to a new realm, rendering all the Great Swordsmasters below God Son Level unable to break through their Dragon Scales, no matter how numerous they were.

This effectively nullified the numerical advantage of the Earth Clan Sect. Even if they formed groups, the Harmonious Spiritual Chain allowed the dragons to rampage through the Earth Clan Sect’s sword formation without worry.

In the Spirit Realm, the Little Gold Dragon was very anxious.

It wished it could transform into a Dragon God and join its brothers and sisters in battle. To be left out of such a grand slaughter was truly frustrating.

“Kuuuu~~~~~~~~”
The Yama Dragon opened its eyes and let out a dragon chant.

When it came to recovery speed, the Yama Dragon, with its Giant Dragon physique, indeed had a great advantage. It had regained most of its strength, and if it were night, it would probably be at its peak combat condition.

The Moon Blessing White Dragon’s recovery was much slower. It had already slighted the two powerful Wu Monk Masters from Buddha Pagoda Temple in a previous fight, leaving them crippled and itself significantly depleted.

This time, no Wu Monk Masters were visible above the golden cloud. Otherwise, if those two God General Level masters were present, Linghu Ling, facing both Great Monks and Great Arhats alone, would probably not last long.
