The second point that shocked him was naturally Huangfu Qi’s predicament.

That was what truly terrified him. Endless rage burned within him, but he forced himself to remain calm and said to Huangfu Fengchen, “Tell me in detail. What exactly happened?”

There was both sorrow and helplessness in his eyes. He shook his head and said, “It’s all my fault for being useless. Sigh … When that woman came to the Huangfu clan, we served her very well and were terrified of upsetting her. That woman is terrifying. She discovered that Qi Qi has the Heavenly Wind Veins in her body. It is a vein unique to the Heavenly Wind Clan. I think Qi Qi has a total of three. I heard that the prodigies of the clan have a total of eighteen Heavenly Wind Veins. These Martial Veins provide the Wind Clan with incomparable talent and strength! They’re the core of the Wind Clan’s power! When the woman discovered that Qi Qi has this vein, she found an excuse to remove all my cultivation and exiled me to this place, but she kept Qi Qi by her side!”

Huangfu Qi was still on Lake’s Heart Island. Long Chen thought Huangfu Fengchen had brought her here!

“Heavenly Wind Vein?” Long Chen had a feeling that this was a well-known thing in stronger empires like the Heavenly Wind Empire. If Lady Xuan was so concerned about it, then it had to be extraordinary.

It looked like the true cause of this predicament was Qi Qi’s Heavenly Wind Veins. The reason Huangfu Yu had offered, that Huangfu Fengchen had ended up like this only because he had refused Lady Xuan’s advances, was merely an excuse for her to remove him! That woman was pure evil!

“I have a rough idea of the process. To get Qi Qi’s Heavenly Wind Veins, she must prepare certain herbs, then treat Qi Qi as spiritual medicine by refining her body and extracting the Heavenly Wind Veins to merge into her own body. Although a procedure like that will lead to a lot of side effects, it can boost her potential and talent, thus increasing her strength! But this method is violent and evil!”

Huangfu Fengchen spoke with clenched teeth, and his eyes turned blood-red!

When they heard his explanation, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang’s eyes also turned blood-red. The woman was going to refine Huangfu Qi’s body like she was a medicine, then extract the Heavenly Wind Veins from her body. Huangfu Qi was just an innocent child. If Lady Xuan succeeded, Long Chen would go mad!

Although their time together wasn’t all that long, Huangfu Qi was still one of Long Chen’s good friends, and she was a cute little girl.

After Huangfu Fengchen spoke, he suddenly crashed to his knees. He was still injured, so this made his face even paler. He gritted his teeth and looked at Long Chen beggingly. “Little Long Chen, seeing as you and Qi Qi are friends, although I don’t know how strong you are, or whether it would be like striking a rock with an egg if you fought Lady Xuan … You may even die … I don’t care about anything else. I love Qi Qi very much, and I have become a useless man now. I’m begging you to save her. Please? She’s so young. She shouldn’t be punished like that!”

The great patriarch of the Huangfu family was now crying in front of Long Chen. The man kneeling before him had aged a lot. He was even starting to grow white hair.

Even if Long Chen had to bleed or lose his head for this mission, he would still agree to it. This was his style.

Long Chen gently helped Huangfu Fengchen up and said, “Leave Qi Qi to me. Don’t worry, Patriarch. As long as I am alive, I will bring Qi Qi back whole!”

“And I, Mo Xiaolang, will help too!” Mo Xiaolang said anxiously. He was worried about Huangfu Qi too. He had spent as much time with her as Long Chen, or even more.

When Huangfu Fengchen heard their promises, he nodded with tears in his eyes and said, “Thank you so much! I’m putting all my hopes on you two. Long Chen, I trust you, and I am aware of your achievements in recent times. I trust that you will be able to do this!”

Long Chen did not truly know whether he could. Although he had made a promise to Huangfu Fengchen, he was not confident. He asked, “Huangfu Patriarch, you have surely fought her before. What cultivation level is she at?”

When speaking of this, Huangfu Fengchen slightly furrowed his brow and lamented, “I think she’s at least at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. At the peak of it too. However, it’s also very likely that she is at the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is.”

Fifth Earthly Martial Stage?

Wasn’t that Long Shan’s previous level before he was injured?

If that was true, that was frightening!

“Long Chen, you must be very careful. If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself. This is Qi Qi’s fate. But I just don’t want her to die such a tragic death. She’s still a child. If you can’t save her, kill her!” said Huangfu Fengchen with tears in his eyes.

“Kill her?” To Long Chen, this was impossible.

However, if it really was like Huangfu Fengchen had said, he might as well kill her instead of letting Huangfu Qi get refined to death. To Huangfu Qi, this would be a good thing.

“That woman! How could she be this evil to such a young child?!” Long Chen’s chest was filled with burning rage!

It took everything to remain calm.

Long Chen calmly asked, “What should I do?”

“If that woman wants to transplant Qi Qi’s Heavenly Wind Veins into herself, she must first cut open her own body. Recovery would require a lot of medicine. I know that the main medicine she needs is called Myriad Earth Essence. This medicine can even help a person regenerate their arm, so it is very powerful. That woman has everything but the Myriad Earth Essence, so I’m guessing she will go get it.”

“Where can Myriad Earth Essence be found?” asked Long Chen.

“Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji is the only person in the whole Divine Martial Empire who has Myriad Earth Essence. You’ve been to the Huangfu clan’s place. At the time, was she still there?” asked Huangfu Fengchen.

Long Chen tried to recall. Huangfu Yu had just returned, and it was clear that he had just returned from a wild time. That lady was probably still in the Huangfu clan, so he nodded.

“You took at least three to five days to get here, so that woman has likely rushed over to Martial Overlord City already. Based on how careful she is, she surely took Qi Qi with her. If you go to the Huangfu clan now, you won’t get anything. It is better for you to go to Martial Overlord City to wait for her, as this place is nearer to Martial Overlord City. If you push yourself, you can arrive before she does. She will need to ask the Martial Overlord for the Myriad Earth Essence, and with her arrogance, she will surely start fighting him if he tries to negotiate with her. Watch and see if you can find a chance to save Qi Qi. What do you think?” Although Huangfu Fengchen was crippled, he still had a bright mind.

It did not take long for him to formulate a plan.

“I’ll do that, then. We don\'t have much time. Xiaolang and I will leave now, but before that, I’ll take you to the Battle clan, alright? As long as we find a city with the Red Souls, I can hand you over to them,” said Long Chen.

Huangfu Fengchen shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Long Chen, as I said before, with my current state, it is not suitable for me to go to the Battle clan. A normal person should live a normal person’s life. This place is quite nice; life is simple and there is no conflict here.”

Since that was what he wanted, Long Chen did not force him. He was very concerned about Huangfu Qi, so after bidding Huangfu Fengchen farewell, he prepared to leave.

“Long Chen.” Huangfu Fengchen suddenly stopped him.

“What is it?” Long Chen turned to ask.

“Thank you so much for this. It’s too bad I am no longer in the condition to say I’ll do anything for you. If there is another life, I am willing to do anything you command of me!”

Looking at the frail man, Long Chen deeply felt the sorrow of losing one’s strength and becoming weak.

If he became like that one day, he would consider killing himself.

Huangfu Fengchen remained alive because he had a wife and a child. This was a responsibility he had to bear.

Sometimes, men lived because of responsibility. The courage to risk one’s life often arose because of one’s family.

Long Chen pursed his lips, unsure of what to say. He was silent for a moment, then he said, “Don’t worry. I will bring Qi Qi back to you, whole.”

After that, Long Chen led Mo Xiaolang and rushed off, leaving the couple behind, stunned. Their eyes were filled with emotion and gratitude.

After leaving Lingering Wind City, Long Chen knew that he did not have much time. The brothers quickly rushed towards Martial Overlord City.

Xiaolang ran as fast as he could. The black demonic wolf ran like a gust of wind. Normal people could barely see Xiaolang’s silhouette before he left their field of vision. This was just how fast he was!
