Dragon-Blooded War God

Ye Xuan also noticed the indentation at the same time as Long Chen, but he didn’t recognize it as the shape of the Red Lotus Jade Pendant at first.

“Hey, that’s strange. The indentation looks familiar.”

Ye Xuan inspected it more closely before he realized what it was. “Isn’t the indentation in the shape of my family’s Red Lotus Jade Pendant? Why is it shaped like that?”

Long Chen knew that there was a massive seal here in the Underworld Blood Sea. Innumerable smaller seals on the droplets of blood and water formed a massive seal. The Demonic Blood Lotus was growing from the depths of the Underworld Blood Sea, and there was a strange indentation with the same exact shape as the Red Lotus Jade Pendant. It wasn’t hard to figure out the connection between the seal and the Demonic Blood Lotus.

Long Chen touched the indentation, and it started to glow. He and Ye Xuan retreated upon seeing that.

The red glow formed several lines of words that exuded an ancient authority. Long Chen and Ye Xuan read it carefully.

“Any of Ye Wushang's descendants who hold the Red Lotus Jade Pendant may open the God-Killer Tomb to face the trials within. Only those who successfully overcome them may obtain his inheritance!”

Long Chen didn’t know who Ye Wushang or the God-Killer was, but Ye Xuan knew. He was absolutely shocked because he never would’ve expected to find this here.

“Ye Wushang… Ye family… Red Lotus Jade Pendant…”

Long Chen was curious. “The Red Lotus Jade Pendant is your family’s heirloom, right? That means Ye Wushang must be your ancestor. I think you would be able to enter the tomb if you placed the Red Lotus Jade Pendant here.”

Long Chen started to piece together the information to figure out what was going on.

Ye Xuan was even more surprised when he heard that

“What’s wrong? Is Ye Wushang someone powerful?”

Ye Xuan was still out of it when he nodded and murmured, “Ye Wushang was the one who founded the Underworld Army tens of thousands of years ago. He was very strong and was also the first Underworld Overlord. He ended up reaching the Eighth Divine Martial Stage, the Universe Heavenly Path. Even the lord of the Underworld Estate bowed to him. Ye Wushang was the one who had created the Path of Killing and was called the God-Killer. He was one of the strongest people in the Royal Eastern District. Even the True Martial Overlord Palace once invited him. To think he’s my ancestor …

“Wait… It makes sense. My family has the coveted Seven Killing Blood Veins, the same surname, and the Red Lotus Jade Pendant too. We must be related! To think that Ye Wushang is our ancestor. This is an important discovery. Long Chen, we must head back to Underworld City and inform my sister at once!”

Long Chen agreed.

They never thought they would encounter the tomb of an expert who had reached the Eighth Divine Martial Stage.

Long Chen was astounded because a cultivator at the Eighth Divine Martial Stage wouldn’t be a regular expert. At the very least, they would be considered the elite of the elites within the Three Royal Territories.

The inheritance of someone that strong would undoubtedly attract the attention of many others in the Underworld Estate. There were not a lot of experts at the Eighth Divine Martial Stage to begin with. The strongest person at the Underworld Estate was only at the Fifth Divine Martial Stage who had survived the Thunder Tribulation.

Long Chen was certain that everyone within the Eastern Royal District would flock over here if they caught wind of this.

“Ye Wushang was killed by the palace master of the Eastern Royal Palace because of how many people he had killed. The palace master used the power to shatter space to break him into nothing. To think that Ye Wushang managed to leave a tomb here in the Underworld Blood Sea! This discovery could lead to the revival of the Ye family. We mustn’t let anyone know about this except for my sister!”

The two of them prepared to leave after learning this.

Long Chen recognized how important this was for the Ye family. He had no intention of taking their inheritance, especially since it was left behind by their ancestor. Conversely, he would even protect it vehemently if someone else tried to steal it. After all, Ye Xuan was his friend and the City Lord was his master.

The tomb of a God-Killer … That was why there was so much bloodlust at the Underworld Blood Sea. Perhaps the seal was made by Ye Wushang himself.

“Ye Wushang was neither a good person nor bad. He killed millions of people, but most of them were evil. No one knows what kinds of contributions Ye Wushang made. My sister doesn’t like people like him, but still … To think that he would be our ancestor. Maybe that’s why our family is so special,” Ye Xuan mumbled as they ran back.

Long Chen was going to talk, but then he frowned. He sensed five extraordinarily strong cultivators racing towards the Demonic Blood Lotus. Long Chen had no idea how strong they were.

“To think that it's Gudu Jun fighting against the Golden Horn Silver Shark.”

“Why is he here? Thankfully, he didn’t notice the Demonic Blood Lotus… Wait, someone’s there!”

The five of them had been chatting when they sensed Long Chen and Ye Xuan. All five of them sped up and appeared in front of Long Chen and Ye Xuan in an instant.

Four of them were men, one was a woman. They appeared middle-aged with different body shapes and wore high-quality Underworld Armor. More importantly, Long Chen recognized one of them. It was one of the Underworld Admirals working for Su Mo, Su Tian!

“The five Underworld Admirals!”

Both Long Chen and Ye Xuan couldn’t move due to the suppression from the five Admirals. They had no hope of escaping now.

Long Chen was dismayed when he learned that each of the Underworld Admirals was as strong as the Golden Horn Silver Shark. Their auras alone were enough to suppress Long Chen and Ye Xuan. The two of them couldn’t move even though they were just three meters away from one another.

“Ye Xuan and Long Chen!”

Su Tian approached them and chuckled. “I never thought the two of you would be here. Such a shame, especially for you, Long Chen. I have been in a bad mood ever since you hit my daughter off the arena.”

One of the Underworld Admirals who looked feminine chuckled. “So this is the brother of City Lord Ye Xuan? Long Chen is the disciple of the City Lord, right? To think we would meet them here.”

Long Chen was busy figuring out how to escape.

It was clear that the five of them had been guarding the Demonic Blood Lotus. That meant Su Mo knew about the inheritance of God-Killer Ye Wushang. Something was wrong if he hadn’t told the City Lord and instead sent the five Underworld Admirals to guard it.

The five of them did not stop Long Chen and Ye Xuan from talking but instead just froze their bodies. Ye Xuan and Long Chen never liked Su Mo to begin with.

Ye Xuan asked, “Why are you stopping us? What do you want to do?”

Su Tian chuckled. “Oh? You still don’t know?” His appearance was already evil-looking to begin with. His chuckle made him seem even scarier.

“I’m certain that you’ve noticed the secret of the Demonic Blood Lotus, so you should know that Ye Wushang is your ancestor. The Red Lotus Jade Pendant is the key to unlocking it. This is, unfortunately, a secret, so you must die now.”

Long Chen and Ye Xuan were certain now that Su Mo was an enemy.

“So Su Mo was the one who sent the assassins, right?”

Long Chen and Ye Xuan tried to figure out a way to escape.

The five of them surrounded Long Chen and Ye Xuan. They were discussing how to dispose of Long Chen and Ye Xuan since the two youths had already learned about the secret.

“Yes, General Su Mo was the one who had sent the assassins.”

Su Tian and the others had imprisoned Long Chen and Ye Xuan with their auras, so they weren’t worried that the two would escape. In fact, it was pleasurable for them to announce what their plans would be.

Ye Xuan growled, “Why?”

“It’s a shame that you still don’t know why. I suppose General Su Mo hid his objective very well. It’s all for the sake of the Red Lotus Jade Pendant, the key to opening the tomb. The Red Lotus Jade Pendant can only be used by the Ye family, but an outsider can use it too if they get married into the Ye family. They would be counted as a partial member of the family, so the Red Lotus Jade Pendant would recognize them. But first, General Su Mo must get married to the City Lord. Do you know why we are trying to kill you? That’s because we are worried that your sister will give you the Red Lotus Jade Pendant instead!”
