The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1425 - 1426: Dragon Scale Valley

"So you’re from the Dragon Scale Valley. What are you doing here at the Dan Clan?"

Upon hearing that the other party was from Dragon Scale Valley, especially this man clad in Dragon Scale Battle Armor, whose aura was in no way inferior to that of the Dan Clan Guard Captain, his own aura subsided a bit.

"Naturally, I’ve come to compete. Do you think I’ve come to your Dan Clan just for sightseeing and tourism?"

The man in Dragon Scale Battle Armor laughed.

"Since you’re here to compete, you should restrain yourself. Honestly, I could strip you of your qualification to compete with just one word."

The man in black armor said.

"What did you say?"

The man in Dragon Scale Battle Armor’s expression changed slightly, and he said coldly.

"Since you’re a competitor, sit here honestly and wait for the competition. Otherwise, if you offend someone you shouldn’t, you won’t even pass the preliminary selection. I can easily cross your name off."

The man in black armor spoke with great arrogance.

"Are you deliberately targeting me?"

The man in Dragon Scale Battle Armor smiled as he looked at the man in black armor and said softly.

"I’m not targeting just you, but everyone present here."

Before the man in black armor could finish his words, he suddenly felt a tremendous force approaching. He was sent flying and landed on the ground, vomiting blood uncontrollably, his black armor already shattered.

The sudden change startled everyone present, as they did not expect someone from Dragon Scale Valley to dare to make a move here.

"Well done!"

"Indeed, let them be arrogant. It’s better not to participate in this competition since there must be something shady going on."

The competing disciples felt quite delighted.

"Don’t think the Dragon Scale Valley cares about your Alchemist Competition; I just came to join the fun. I don’t want the championship even if it’s given to me for free."

The man from Dragon Scale Valley chuckled softly.

"Such an arrogant brat! Don’t think that just because you’re from Dragon Scale Valley, you can do as you please in our Dan Clan."

At this moment, an elder in a Dan Clan robe arrived, angrily landing in front of the man from Dragon Scale Valley.

"Your Dan Clan wants to control the entire alchemy world, but Dragon Scale Valley will not stand for it."

The man from Dragon Scale Valley chuckled softly.

"Dan Clan guards, capture this brat for me. Let’s see who dares to stir up trouble in our Dan Clan."

The elder of the Dan Clan waved his hand forcefully, and instantly, shadows flickered as dozens of figures surrounded the man from Dragon Scale Valley. Mighty Wraith Energy rushed towards him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although these guards were formidable, they were only early-stage Divine Venerate martial artists. Meanwhile, the man from Dragon Scale Valley was in the Divine Venerable Middle Stage, with a cultivation level of Five Souls. His combat powers matched that of Divine Venerable Six Souls. A casual move from him sent the figures flying back as if they had been struck heavily, their armor shattered, faces filled with disbelief.

"What a strong young man, defeating our Dan Clan guards so effortlessly."

The elder’s pupils contracted, realizing this person had combat strength far beyond the ordinary. Dragon Scale Valley was indeed extraordinary.

"Boy, what do you mean by causing trouble in our Dan Clan today?"

The elder held a large blade in his hand, ready to strike at any moment. If he didn’t suppress the arrogance of the Dragon Scale Valley here, how could the Dan Clan stand firm in the Wraith Land?

"No special meaning. The Alchemist Competition is about to begin. We can acknowledge this competition, but the rules and procedures must be transparent. As for the rewards, give them if you like; if not, that’s fine. We just want the recognized ranking witnessed by all."

Simply put, the man from Dragon Scale Valley didn’t want the Dan Clan pulling any hidden strings. This was not only Dragon Scale Valley’s viewpoint, but also the opinion of many other forces. He was merely the one stepping forward.

"Indeed, you Dan Clan folks, it’s not that easy to secretly manipulate the alchemy world. Don’t think that having the strongest alchemists allows you to do as you please."

"That’s right. This time the competition must be transparent."

The crowd started murmuring.

"Silence! As long as the alchemy world has my Dan Clan, you must follow our rules. If you don’t want to participate in the Alchemist Competition, feel free to leave."

The Dan Clan elder said coldly.

"You people from Dragon Scale Valley have no right to speak in front of the Dan Clan."

That Dan Clan elder shouted suddenly, unleashing the powerful aura of Divine Venerable Six Souls, causing the surrounding martial artists to stagger back repeatedly.

"An alchemist, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me!"

Facing the powerful aura of the Dan Clan elder, who was much stronger than before, the man from Dragon Scale Valley’s expression didn’t change. Instead, he released an aura several times stronger than the elder’s, forcing the elder to take several steps back.

"How strong!"

Yang Rong watched the scene with a shout of amazement but calmed down upon realizing there was an even more formidable presence behind.

"Indeed impressive, probably unbeatable at the Divine Venerable Middle Stage. Who would’ve thought Dragon Scale Valley had such a genius?"

Ye Mo nodded. This man was even stronger than Dantai Zanglian, comparable to Ao Yuntian.

The Dan Clan elder’s face turned grim upon sensing the aura unleashed by the man from Dragon Scale Valley. He hadn’t expected him to be this formidable and stood to gain nothing if they fought.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of breaking wind rang out, and figures flew in from the Dan Clan. They frowned upon seeing the guards on the ground.

Ye Mo glanced at the arrivals, noting two familiar faces: one was naturally the Pill Saint, and the other was Dan Dongfeng, the Dan Clan elder who hosted the Alchemist Competition previously.

"Elder Dan Qianlin, what’s happening?"

Pill Saint and his entourage intended to check on the competitors but noticed the presence of Wraith Energy fluctuations and Dan Clan guards fallen to the ground, their faces showing slight anger.

"Pill Saint, you came just in time. This man is from Dragon Scale Valley. He caused trouble, demanded changes to the competition rules, and injured our guards."

Seeing the Pill Saint, Elder Dan Qianlin also sighed in relief. The Pill Saint had recently broken through to Divine Venerate Late Stage, boosting his strength. Coupled with his formidable alchemical skills, even the Dan Clan Leader would respectfully address him as Pill Saint.

Previously, the Dan Clan Leader called the Pill Saint by his name, but now, with his strength at the Divine Soul Seven Souls, he’s on par with the leader.

"Dragon Scale Valley?"

Pill Saint glanced at the man from Dragon Scale Valley, noticing his defiant expression, and said, "You’re not qualified to speak with me. Call Long Wanli here."

"Who would’ve thought Dragon Scale Valley was founded by Long Wanli. Ye Mo, Long Wanli was an old friend of mine. Ensure he’s not harmed."

The Wraith Demon Emperor warned.

"Let’s see what unfolds. The man from Dragon Scale Valley must be well-prepared to publicly cause trouble."

Ye Mo responded mentally.

"Long time no see, Pill Saint. I didn’t expect you’ve reached Divine Venerate Seven Souls."

A hearty laughter emerged from the crowd, as a red-browed, red-haired elder in a red robe stepped forward.

"Long Wanli, I didn’t expect you to come to the Dan Clan."

Pill Saint looked at Long Wanli, his expression turning serious. Long Wanli had been a powerful ally of the Wraith Demon Emperor. Though his cultivation was far beneath the Demon Emperor, his strength, honed over time, should not be underestimated.
