Those five guys are nothing more than some dogs under the War heaven double emperors.”
Nalan Feng spoke irritably, obviously aware of the five men’s identity.
“It seems that this War heaven double emperor pair is not so simple.”
Long Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Having learned some information about the War heaven double emperors from the Suofeng Ghost Emperor, he thought they were just two geniuses.
It now appeared, however, that things were not so simple.
Apparently noticing what Long Yan was thinking, Yan Xiao said, “You don’t have to worry.
The War heaven double emperors only have these five men under them.
These five men provoked the War heaven double emperors in the past, and finally chose to submit at their feet, thereby sparing their lives.”
The War heaven double emperors were two masters who feared nothing, didn’t value anyone, and acted arrogantly.
After following the War heaven double emperors, the burly man and the other four became much more arrogant.
Otherwise, they would have definitely refrained after finding out the identities of Nalan Feng and the other two.
“By the way, why were they trying to kill you guys?”
Long Yan asked.
“Many people arrived at the place where the Star Soul Jade was discovered, but they were not very strong.
The strongest were only at the Undying Emperor Realm.
After all, an item like the Star Soul Jade has limited allure for the powerful.”
“So we three kept hiding on the outskirts and dared not get too close.
We don’t know why, but an explosion occurred ahead.
A piece of Star Soul Jade then automatically flew to us.
We were discovered by those five people, pursued by them, and you saved us in the end.”
Acquiring the Star Soul Jade was due to their good luck, as was being saved by Long Yan.
“Could the seal have been discovered?”
Long Yan furrowed his brows, showing some worry.
It’s possible that someone discovered the seal and caused an explosion.
If that were the case and the treasure fell into others’ hands, he would be out of the game.
His initial aim for coming here was to find the hidden seal.
“Do you know if there is any treasure in the place where the Star Soul Jade was discovered?”
Long Yan asked.
“It is said that a hidden seal in the depths was discovered.
We’re not sure if it’s true, since given our strength, we can’t get close to the depths.”
Yan Xiao answered truthfully.
“I hope it’s been discovered, but hasn’t yet gotten into someone else’s hands.”
Upon hearing that, Long Yan became even more worried and quickened his pace.
Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia also quickly followed.
“The place where the Star Soul Jade was discovered is over there.”
Soon, the four of them arrived at a ridge.
Xue Jia pointed at a mountain range in front of them and informed Long Yan.
Following the direction Xue Jia pointed in, Long Yan’s gaze fell on the mountain range, which was lush with towering ancient trees.
However, in a mountain stream location, there were clear signs of an explosion.
After sensing carefully, Long Yan clearly felt noticeable fluctuations in the aura around that location.
Apparently, there were still emperors there.
“It seems we’re not too late.
The treasure should still be there.”
If the treasure had already found an owner, these people would surely have left by now.
“Let’s go, over there!”
Then, Long Yan led Yan Xiao and Xue Jia, flying directly towards the front.
Within a few breaths, they entered the mountain stream.
“Get lost!
With us brothers here, no one will get their hands on it.”
Just as the four of them entered the mountain stream, an overbearing voice roared.
“War heaven double emperors, I won’t let you get away with this!”
An elderly man left a spiteful remark before escaping in a sorry state, obviously greatly injured.
However, the old man hadn’t flown far when he stopped in mid-air—an blood-stained sword tip emerged from his back.
In no time, the old man turned into a dry corpse and was flung back, landing right in front of the War heaven double emperors.
In the sky, Long Yan sheathed Dragon Tooth and flew downwards with Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia.
At this moment, only two youths and a burly man were present in the mountain stream.
There was clearly a cave entrance behind them which seemed to have appeared after the explosion.
“Are you two the War heaven double emperors?”
Long Yan’s gaze fell on the two youths, and he immediately identified them as the War heaven double emperors.
Ling Zhan and Ling Tian bore a striking resemblance to each other, looking to be in their mid-twenties.
They had clearly defined facial features with a hint of determination, and their auras were extraordinary.
Ling Zhan was clearly at the Undying Emperor Realm, whereas Ling Tian was at the legendary emperor realm.
Both brothers were geniuses of Sealed Gods Ancient Road, and neither was weaker than Bai Wushen.
“Who are you?”
The gazes of Ling Zhan and Ling Tian locked onto Long Yan simultaneously.
Ling Zhan asked the question.
“Master, that’s Long Yan.”
The burly man said to Ling Zhan.
“Long Yan!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Ling Zhan and Ling Tian turned serious, and they took a careful look at Long Yan.
They had naturally heard about Long Yan.
His strength was sufficient to kill those of the Silence Destroying Emperor, and his talent surpassed even that of the Suofeng Ghost Emperor.
“War heaven double emperors, since your reputation precedes you, I eliminated him for you.
In return, let’s enter the cave together.
What do you think?”
Long Yan chuckled and said, pointing to a cave behind the War heaven double emperors.
The treasure laid in the cave.
From the looks of it, the War heaven double emperors hadn’t gotten it.
“If I were to kill him, he wouldn’t have escaped.
Yet rather it’s you who killed our subordinates, so it’s time for an explanation.”
Ling Zhan didn’t appreciate Long Yan’s favor, but instead confronted him.
“It’s just your luck that those underlings of yours don’t have eyes to see.
The sight of wealth moved them to crave it, and I spared you the trouble of killing them first, so as to not tarnish your reputation in the future.”
Long Yan replied calmly, “Without my timely arrival, your blind subordinates would have killed the three people behind me.
They have high status in Huashen Sect, and one of them is even the Young Sect Master.
If they stirred up the Huashen Sect, I’m afraid you brothers wouldn’t have a place in Sealed Gods Ancient Road.”
Even though the War heaven double emperors were geniuses, they were loose cultivators without any backing or school, they couldn’t compete with powerhouses like the Huashen Sect.
“Humph, even if they belong to the Huashen Sect, so what?
If they died, they died.
It just shows they were no match.”
Ling Tian snorted lightly, clearly not putting the Huashen Sect in his eyes.
But in their hearts, both Ling Tian and Ling Zhan secretly scolded the burly man and the others for being blind.
They dared to attack even the Young Sect Master of the Huashen Sect.
If anything happened to Nalan Feng and the others, they would have to be implicated.
For a while, Ling Zhan and Ling Tian felt an urge to kill the burly man.
“Well said, ‘no match’.
You’re absolutely right!”
Long Yan clapped his hands, smirked, and said, “Just as your men died at my hands, it also shows they were no match.
What do you think?”
Using Ling Tian’s words against him, Long Yan turned the tables in an instant.
