Dragon Martial Emperor Chapter 138

Chapter – 138  Mo Fengming

Finally, Long Yu stepped into 2nd layer of Zhenling realm.

Long Yu stood up, his eyes revealing a meditating look.

“Chu Chao Sheng planned to control me with the heart grass. Since I was not fooled, it will make him alert. I’m afraid a new round of action will now unfold…..”

“Four months from now, the seven sects competition will begin. I should better stay out of Chu Chao Sheng’s sight. I should now head back to the Sect so as not to be late for the competition.”

In the seven sects competition, the whole Tang kingdom would focus on the martial prowess of various Wudao experts. At such a time, Chu Chao Sheng would certainly not be able to make any move, not to mention that there would be a lot of security as various sovereigns and elders would also be present there.

In the seven sects competition, the seven major sects of Tang kingdom participated. A participant must belong to any of the seven major sects, else he was not allowed to participate.

The participant must also be less than 30 years of age and at least be at Wudao 8th layer.

Some time ago, Bu Xing had told Long Yu that there were nine young masters in the Tang kingdom. Among them, he himself ranked eighth while the disciple from knife cut sect ranked ninth.

But the top seven masters belonged to influential families of the Tang kingdom and were not a part of any sect.

The seven sects were known for producing great Wudao experts, so when the participants clashed with each other, no one knew who was going to win.

Now it seemed that Yu Qianning had actually been concealing her actual strength.

“In order to win against Yu Qianning in the seven sects competition, I must upgrade my strength by at least one level during the next four months.”

“By the time the competition starts, Yu Qianning may already have reached Zhenling 5th layer. I should be prepared for that…..”

“To achieve my goal, I will have to practice incessantly for the next four months.”

Long Yu reminisced about some things Feng Longsong told him a long time ago.

Between the Tang kingdom, the Mongolian kingdom and the United Kingdom of Japan, there lies the Demon valley. In spite of being a highly dangerous place, it remains one of the favorite practice grounds for Wudao masters. Experts who want to rapidly increase their cultivation go there to face new challenges.

Hunting a demon beast was the main method!

Hunting a demon beast, seizing its neidan and absorbing rich Yao qi from it could boost the cultivation manifold.

If an expert kills two beasts of the exact same type then the second neidan will benefit him significantly less than the first one and hence would not be suitable for consumption. However, he can use the second neidan to exchange it with some other expert.

Neidans, immortality pills, and battle weapons were chief resources to enhance one’s cultivation and many people were interested in exchanging equivalents.

For example, Zhentian sect compounded Yao dan and exchanged it with battle weapons from the Imperial city.

One could choose from a lot of places to hunt a beast as Tang kingdom had hundreds of such places, just like the Teng snake abyss in the Zhentian Mountains.

Long Yu did not want to go back to the Tang kingdom in order to avoid getting attacked by Chu Chao Sheng.

Moreover, the hunting places in the Tang kingdom did not have many beasts of Zhenling realm and killing a beast of lower cultivation level would practically be of no use to Long Yu.

“Depending upon my present strength, hunting a Zhenling beast in the Demon valley won’t land me in some major trouble. Such being the case, I should sneak out and head towards the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir before daybreak.”

Long Yu made a quick decision and silently leaped out of his cabin.

At this time of night, the weather was cloudy, moonlight was vague and the stars were dim. Most of the people in the Tang Guan were resting.

A handful of soldiers were out on patrol, prepared against any sneak attack from the Mongolian army.

In the darkness of the dim-lit night, Long Yu grabbed his Qian dragon spear and quietly took a dragon prance. As he reached the maximum height of his jump, he immediately used ghost flash technique and disappeared into thin air.

The next moment he appeared in the seven grand canyons of Tang Guan.

Long Yu thought to follow Feng Longsong in order to inquire him about the exact location of the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir so as to not get lost. As far as he knew, in order to sneak his way to the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir, he would have to pass through the Great Snow Mountains belonging to the Mongolian kingdom.

For an ordinary martial expert, sneaking through the Mongolian mountains would be an extremely difficult task.

But for Long Yu, it was no big deal.

Moreover, martial experts with high cultivation levels just could not be stopped by the Great Snow Mountains and the Mongolian army, for example Yu Qianning!

If a Zhenling fourth layer expert like Yu Qianning decided to go to the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir, naturally no one could stop such an expert.

However, if ordinary martial experts tried to go to the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir, their path would surely be blocked by the Mongolian Prince.

It was known that the Mongolian Prince not only was a fierce Zhenling expert but also led a number of powerful soldiers to the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir!

A pair of gray wings emitting black ripples flashed behind Long Yu and his whole body darted through the snow.

All the way long, the snow was gleaming under the moonlight, Long Yu kept changing his path so that no one could track him down.

The Lunar qi from the lunar tablet was seeping through the wings and hence the power of the lunar wings was increased at this time.

In this dim lit night, Long Yu paced forward like a shadow.

When he reached the Great Snow Mountains, instead of advancing towards the camp, he directly entered the mountain range.

The Heavenly Thunder Reservoir was located deep inside the Great Snow Mountains of Mongolia!

Suddenly, Long Yu sensed the aura of someone approaching him at a great pace.

“Who is it?”

Long Yu said in a cold voice and immediately became vigilant.

However, the speed of the other party was much faster than he had imagined and was about to catch up with him.

As Long Yu looked on, he saw a young man dressed in black clothes, hands crossed behind his back, a scabbard hanging on his waist, was approaching him making his way through the blizzard.

From that scabbard, rich lunar qi was emitting, similar to that coming from the lunar tablet!

“This man’s cultivation is even higher than Long Ji and Yu Qianning. He must at least be at 5th layer of Zhenling realm.”

Long Yu quickly judged the person approaching him, “In addition to such a high cultivation level, the scabbard he is carrying is emitting Lunar qi just like my lunar tablet does, and this person appears to be less than 30 years of age. No doubt about it, he is Mo Fengming!”

Mo Fengming had obtained lunar debris five years ago and had forged a scabbard using it. Hence he rose in the Tang kingdom, entering the elite group of the nine 30-year-old experts, ranking third among them.

His cultivation was much higher than Bu Xing, and if the two of them ever competed against each other, he would need perhaps only one move to defeat Bu Xing!

Mo Fengming, who was in a hurry and was moving at a great speed through the snow, paid no attention towards Long Yu as he passed by and soon disappeared from Long Yu’s sight.

“So this is Mo Fengming!” Long Yu thought to himself.

Obviously, Mo Fengming had easily recognized Long Yu.

“However both Mo clan and Long clan are among the most prestigious families of the Tang kingdom and they mutually dislike each other.”

Long Yu sneered, narrowing his eyes.

Mo Fengming had no hostility towards Long Yu. Rather, he wanted to use Long Yu to drain out the power of the Long clan and also to cause trouble for Chu clan!

“While I face the Long clan and the Chu Chao Sheng on my own, I will certainly pay no attention towards Mo clan, and this way, Mo clan will reap the profits from the clash.”

“But how can this Mo Fengming be so assured that I will bring great trouble upon the Long clan and Chu Chao Sheng?”

Long Yu had come across a lot of information while learning about Mo Fengming.

Although most of the information he got was speculation, but it was not far from the facts.

With the black-clad figure of Mo Fengming disappearing from his sight, Long Yu heard the sound of thunderclaps coming from the direction in which Mo Fengming went away.

A faint flash of lightning blazed far away and the clouds, surrounding that area, appeared transparent.

“There lies the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir!”

Long Yu felt a chill running down his spine.

He could feel the horrors that were hidden in the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir by just having a look at the lightening that was blazing there. The lightening was so fierce that it felt to him that its power might crush him in a single second!

At this time, Long Yu suddenly sensed a familiar aura being emitted by the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.

“This is the aura of a Heavenly Tablet!”

Long Yu soon realized that the thunder and lightning surrounding the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir were actually a result of Heavenly Tablet’s power.

The Heavenly Tablet’s aura was produced from the resonance between heaven and earth, and Long Yu was quite familiar with it.

It seemed to him as if the nine hidden dragon mark was trying to convey the location of the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir to him even though he was very far from the place, and this was making him more and more interested in Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.

The speed of his lunar wings increased, thereby decreasing the distance between him and Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.

In front of him, Great Snow Mountains stretched up to miles, capped with snow, gleaming in the moonlight. Because of the stretch of the mountains, his vision was obscured.

Long Yu roughly estimated that he was now at a distance of less than hundred miles from the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.

From this point onwards, he became more vigilant. Since the Mongolian Prince wanted to seize the treasure from this reservoir, he must have sent his troops on patrol near this sierra.

Though he wanted to sneak away quietly, suddenly a sneer passed from his side.

“So finally you came! I have been waiting for you for a long time!”

As this cold female voice reached Long Yu, a shadow leaped behind him and launched a sudden attack on him!

“Yu Qianning!”

Long Yu’s heart made a sudden jump.

He had not expected that Yu Qianning would also come to Heavenly Thunder Reservoir, moreover, would correctly guess that he would also be coming there and prepare an ambush!
