Dragon War God

Chapter 30 - Lord Wolf

The day of the Demon Hunting Tournament and the wedding arrived. The youths participating in the tournament were nervous while everyone else was all smiles in anticipation of the grand celebration.

The Yang patriarch had waited a long time to see his daughter in a happy marriage. He was constantly smiling each day leading up to the wedding.

Early that morning, Long Chen followed Yang Lingqing, Yang Lingyue, and Yang Qingxuan to the town gates leading to the Desolate Mountains.

As for the other progeny of the Yang family, they were too weak and it would be difficult to defend themselves in the Desolate Mountains. They could even become burdens so both families agreed not to let them go.

Coincidentally, each family was sending four people. The Yang family was a little weaker as a team but hunting demonic beasts also relied on luck so it was difficult to predict who would win.

However, both the Yang and Bai patriarchs were not hostile towards each other like the rulers of other towns. This tournament was just a small interruption to the wedding ceremony. They were fully focused on wedding preparations, and they let the younger ones fight for the right to rule Baiyang Town for the next twenty years.

Along the way, Yang Lingyue and Yang Wu walked together while Long Chen and Yang Lingqing followed behind them. “Hey, are you sure you can protect yourself?” asked Yang Lingqing, concerned.

“They’re just a few clowns from the Bai family; they’re no match for me!”

Long Chen smiled mysteriously.

Yang Lingqing huffed helplessly, “Alright, I’m not going to argue. If you’re in danger later, just shout and I’ll try to help if I hear you.”

Long Chen nodded. He truly liked this little sister. If they weren’t blood related, he would’ve dated her already.

When Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue heard Long Chen’s arrogant declarations, they both turned and eyed Long Chen mockingly. They quickly turned their heads back and Yang Lingyue whispered to her brother, “Elder Brother, remember what you promised me.”

Yang Wu nodded. “If the Bai family doesn’t do anything, I’ll teach him a lesson.” The two of them whispered very softly so Long Chen and Yang Lingqing didn’t hear them.

They arrived at their destination fairly quickly but Long Chen realized the people from the Bai family had already arrived.

Leading them was the fourth son of the Bai family, Bai Zhanfeng. The other four were the same people who met Long Chen during the feast. When they saw Long Chen, Bai Shiji snickered coldly and stuck out a finger at him.

Long Chen knew he was referring to the Abyssal Heaven Fingers.

Long Chen didn’t see their most obvious insult though. He only took a moment to look at Bai Shiji before turning to the person standing at the very front–the overseer of the Demon Hunting Tournament from the Lingwu family of Yuanling City.

This person was wearing a black cloak, their face covered by the hood. Long Chen couldn’t place a finger on the faint aura that radiated from this person. “This person is very powerful to you people,” said Ling Xi.

“How powerful?”

“It’s difficult to explain to a village boy like you. All I can say is that he can defeat your grandfather in one strike.” Ling Xi’s casual remark made all his hairs stand!

Perhaps defeating his grandfather in one strike was a very normal thing to Ling Xi but in Long Chen’s world, the Yang patriarch was the ultimate master. How terrifying it was to hear that someone could defeat his grandfather with one blow!

His eyes fixed on that person, who also turned to look at Long Chen. The person seemed to be slightly surprised, though he didn’t pay Long Chen any more attention.

Yang Qingxuan saluted the person and said, “Lord Wolf, the youth of the Yang family have all arrived.”

“Alright, then we shall leave for the Desolate Mountains. You two may return. The Lingwu family will guarantee fair results for this tournament.”

Yang Qingxuan and Bai Zhanfeng both obeyed without a word. Ling Xi’s words had to be true.

Long Chen realized from the person’s voice that he was very young. Perhaps almost the same age as they were. “You must know that there is always someone better than you. The prodigies of Baiyang town are nothing in big cities.”

Ling Xi’s words made Long Chen aware of his shortcomings and expanded his horizons. Long Chen had great respect for anyone who could achieve such great cultivation at his age.

When Yang Qingxuan and Bai Zhanfeng left, Lord Wolf headed to the Desolate Mountains without a word. The juniors of the Bai and Yang families looked at each other, then hurried after him.

Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue quickly walked with the Bai family members. When Yang Lingqing saw Long Chen alone at the back, she struggled internally, then chose to stay with him.

Yang Lingyue was giggling and chatting away happily with Bai Shiji until she saw Yang Lingqing walking with Long Chen. Her embarrassment turned to rage and she said, “Lingqing, Brother Bai Shichen wants to get to know you better.”

Next to her, Bai Shichen, whose cultivation exceeded Bai Shiji’s, smiled warmly at Yang Lingqing. He looked like a god smiling under the morning sun, and even Yang Lingyue’s heart skipped a beat.

But Yang Lingqing wasn’t convinced and said hesitantly, “Sister Lingyue, I need to discuss something with Brother Chen ...”

Yang Lingyue’s mood turned sour because she had been embarrassed before the two young Bai men. When Long Chen saw Yang Lingyue’s face turn stony, he said suddenly, “Lingqing, go before they decide not to let you follow them.”

He was going to work alone. The Desolate Mountains were filled with countless dangers, it would be bad news if Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue abandoned her.

Yang Lingqing also had the same thought and gave Long Chen an apologetic look before walking ahead. Yang Lingyue finally smiled and introduced her to the two Bai males.

Yang Lingqing was more attractive than Yang Lingyue so the usually silent Bai Shichen began to tell stories of his glorious twenty-plus years of life. You think you can flirt with my sister? I’m going to castrate you later, thought Long Chen maliciously.

They arrived at the Desolate Mountains very quickly.

Lord Wolf turned and said, “You must come back here before sunset and give your demonic cores to me for inspection.”

His voice turned stern and cold. “I am a member of the Lingwu family so don’t try pulling any tricks! I will be watching your every move so only demonic beasts you personally kill will count. For every demonic core you obtain through illegal means, I will kill one of you! New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

“Don’t waste time trying to figure out how I’m watching you. If you want to look for a loophole, be my guest but don’t blame me if you die. Also, you are allowed to snatch demonic cores from each other, and killing each other is permitted by the Lingwu family!”

There was a peculiar magical power in Lord Wolf’s voice. Even the most powerful cultivator there, Bai Shichen, had beads of cold sweat on his face.

Before the tournament, their own family elders had already briefed them on the same rules. They had an idea of the Lingwu family’s power and naturally didn’t dare pull any tricks. “Previously, someone tried burying demonic cores in the tournament area but in the end, for every core they buried, one person was killed ...”

“If there are no objections, the tournament starts now! Use your time wisely!”

Long Chen understood that under Lord Wolf’s supervision, there were only two ways to obtain demonic cores. First, kill a demonic beast. Second, snatch a core from the other team.

Bai Shiji and the rest looked at Long Chen coldly, then entered the Desolate Mountains first. Yang Wu and his team followed quickly behind. Although Yang Lingqing was worried about Long Chen, she gave him a few more reminders and left with them. Eight hours. That’s enough time for me to kill Bai Shiji and take his demonic cores. With this thought, Long Chen was about to enter the Desolate Mountains when Lord Wolf stood in front of him and regarded Long Chen from head to toe. “It hasn’t been a month and you’ve already passed four Draconic Stages, even attaining the Complete Constellation Body?”

Long Chen froze.

How did this mysterious Lord Wolf know him so well that he even knew about his Constellation Body?

Long Chen was about to ask when Lord Wolf said, “I won’t waste your time, go. I see that the Bai family intends to kill you, so be careful.”

Whoosh! Lord Wolf disappeared in a flash, right before Long Chen’s eyes. “He even knows I completed the Constellation Body and is concerned about me. Both his voice and stature are so familiar, this person ...”

Long Chen suddenly recalled the young man who gave him the Constellation Body and almost gasped out loud. He was certain that Lord Wolf was the man who was prettier than most girls, the man even Long Chen wasn’t sure was a man!

At the time, I did think he must’ve had a powerful background but I didn’t expect he would be from the Lingwu family. It’s no wonder he was in Baiyang Town. He must’ve been here to get to know the place and also investigate the two families’ strengths. Nonetheless, the Constellation Body he gave me has helped me immensely and he even went out of his way to warn me just now. Looks like I’ve been lucky in meeting people, Long Chen thought, delighted with himself as he dashed quickly into the Desolate Mountains and hid.

To anyone who shows me kindness, I will return the favor a hundred times over! Ling Xi, Lingqing, and Lord Wolf have been unconditionally kind to me. I won’t let them down!

Now that he was stronger, Long Chen could travel at high speed. “With Ling Xi here, it’s going to be easier for me to find Bai Shiji than it will be for him to find me. Whatever, I’ll wait until they’re exhausted and injured from fighting beasts. I’ll take a stroll around the Desolate Mountains before going to kill him.”

With Ling Xi’s powerful senses, Long Chen could easily avoid any demonic beasts that were too powerful for him. As he trekked deeper and deeper into the forest, the trees became taller and the coldness around him grew heavier. “We’re nearing the deeper parts of the Desolate Mountains, also the Desolate Beastlands. The last time I exited the Desolate Beastlands, I took another direction so I didn’t pass the Desolate Mountains ...

“But this eerie energy is thickening, I think we’re very near the Desolate Beastlands ...”

Ling Xi suddenly said, “Hey, I think I sense a human aura in front. In a very hidden cave.”

Long Chen froze. “Lord Wolf?”

“No, this guy’s at the Ninth Draconic Stage. There’s also a weird fragrance coming from that direction. I know, he must be guarding an unripe herb!”
