Chapter 0832: The Dragon King Totem

After Long Yucang stepped off the carriage, his voice was filled with barely contained fury as he asked coldly, "Fifth Uncle, why did the Heavenly Dragon Gate kill my father?"

The middle-aged man was also furious, clenching his fists tightly as he said icily, "They challenged Third Brother to a duel to win the royal-grade medicinal herbs in his possession... In the end, Third Brother lost and was killed! The Heavenly Dragon Gate has come from the Celestial Wastes this time with the intention of seizing control of our Long Family!"

"Fifth Uncle, go back first. I’ll confront the Heavenly Dragon Gate tomorrow!" Long Yucang suddenly calmed down.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate was a powerful sect established by the Long Clan from the Celestial Wastes, and its power was formidable. Now that they had descended, they naturally sought to establish dominance, so they struck without mercy.

At this moment, anyone who dared oppose the Heavenly Dragon Gate would be eliminated as a warning.

Long Yucang reboarded the carriage and remained silent.

The carriage slowly made its way toward a courtyard.

"Brother Qin, Miss Xiao, this is my residence. You two can stay here for now. Events have unfolded too quickly, and my grandfather is in seclusion. I don’t even know what to do next!" Long Yucang sighed.

"Boss Long, my condolences," Qin Yun said, patting Long Yucang’s shoulder.

He and Xiao Yuemei both understood that the Heavenly Dragon Gate had descended from the Celestial Wastes with the intention of taking over the Long Family, completely controlling it and eliminating all internal factions to dominate the Spirit Wasteland.

Such actions were usually accompanied by blood flowing freely.

For Qin Yun, however, this was a perfect opportunity—it would give him more chances to accomplish his two important tasks amid the chaos within the Long Family.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei entered a room to rest.

"Brother, I’m worried Boss Long will get dragged into this too. In factional power struggles, they usually wipe out entire lineages. Boss Long belongs to one faction—if they don’t escape the Dragon King Manor in time, they’ll only face further suppression, and eventually, major conflicts will erupt!" Xiao Yuemei whispered.

"True, but at least we’ve successfully infiltrated the Dragon King Manor," Qin Yun chuckled. "With our abilities, we can hide here without being discovered."

"I’m worried complications might arise... How about this—I’ll hide inside your storage artifact. If anything unexpected occurs, you’ll be able to handle it alone more easily," Xiao Yuemei suggested.

The first bead of Qin Yun’s Nine Sun Divine Soul contained many things, but Xiao Yuemei was already familiar with them.

He thought her suggestion was excellent, so he placed her inside the first bead of the Nine Sun Divine Soul.

Xiao Yuemei had once been part of the Moon Palace in her past life, so she was very familiar with Little Jade Rabbit. Moreover, with the adorable little sprite Mo Mo inside, she wouldn’t feel too bored.

...

The next morning, Qin Yun rose early.

When he stepped out of his room and entered the hall, he saw Long Yucang sitting on a chair with a grim expression, silent.

"Good morning, Boss Long," Qin Yun greeted.

"Brother Qin, I’ll be fighting in a duel later. Would you like to watch?" Long Yucang sighed deeply. "I might die."

"A duel with the Heavenly Dragon Gate?" Qin Yun was shocked internally—Long Yucang must have learned the details of the incident last night.

"This is the only way I can avenge my father... They promised that even if I lose, as long as I don’t die, they won’t kill me," Long Yucang said. "I still have a real chance of succeeding in my revenge."

"Alright, I’ll go watch," Qin Yun said.

"What about Miss Xiao?" Long Yucang asked.

"She’s inside one of my storage artifacts. I put her there as a precaution," Qin Yun smiled.

Long Yucang nodded, then led Qin Yun as they swiftly ran along a broad path within the estate.

Before long, they arrived at a vast martial arena, where more than half of the people in Dragon King Estate were seated.

On the way, Long Yucang told Qin Yun that the Heavenly Dragon Gate envoys had openly declared their intention to take full control of the Long family. Anyone who dared oppose them could face them in combat.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate envoys had grown up in the Celestial Wilds and trained in a major sect, making them exceptional in every aspect. Several challengers had already faced them, only to suffer crushing defeats—some even killed.

Long Yucang’s father had not only lost but also forfeited rare medicinal ingredients.

Qin Yun followed Long Yucang into the martial arena of Dragon King Estate.

Most of the Long family members watching were in favor of the Heavenly Dragon Gate’s takeover, as the envoys had promised to strengthen the family.

The previous matches had already proved Heavenly Dragon Gate's supremacy.

"Brother Yun, just watch from the sidelines. If I die, tell them you’re my attendant—they won’t trouble you," Long Yucang whispered to Qin Yun via voice transmission, then handed him a purple spirit card.

That card contained hundreds of billions of purple spirit coins.

Long Yucang had already transferred the funds to Qin Yun!

Qin Yun was baffled why Long Yucang trusted him so much, that he would hand over such wealth to him. For a moment, he briefly fantasized about Long Yucang’s death so he could keep the coins.

But then he quickly realized that Long Yucang, as a scion of the Long clan, held far greater value in other ways.

Qin Yun didn’t lack purple spirit coins—he simply wanted to lift the curse of the Alluring Twin Sisters and retrieve Long Qiaofeng’s martial spirit. Having someone familiar with Dragon King Estate aiding him in secret would make things much easier.

After careful consideration, he decided he didn’t want Long Yucang to die after all.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate envoys arrived—a group of dozens, radiating overwhelming pressure, their collective aura brooked no dissent.

They wore gold-trimmed white robes embroidered with ferocious coiling dragons.

Long Yucang was a young Martial King, at the mid-stage of Martial King realm. His opponent would likely be of similar strength.

As soon as the Heavenly Dragon Gate envoys appeared, the crowd erupted in deafening cheers, rising to their feet in applause—a show of reverent submission.

"Boss Long, it seems the Heavenly Dragon Gate is determined to claim Dragon King Estate," Qin Yun whispered.

"They murdered my father - blood demands blood," Long Yucang said.

Qin Yun thought that even if Long Yucang succeeded in killing one of them, he wouldn’t live to see tomorrow.

Long Yucang ascended the dueling platform, and the Long family fell silent.

It was clear to everyone that the Heavenly Dragon Gate’s rule over the Long family in the Spiritual Barrens' Mortal Domain was widely accepted. No one supported Long Yucang now.

His challenge was both an act of vengeance and defiance against the Heavenly Dragon Gate.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate had stated that anyone who opposed them could issue a formal duel challenge.

Once Long Yucang entered the arena, a hush descended—no cheers for him. But the moment a Heavenly Dragon Gate envoy stepped in, thunderous applause and shouts erupted.

The stark contrast set Long Yucang's blood boiling.

The envoy sent by the Heavenly Dragon Gate was also a young man. As he flashed onto the platform, he tore off his upper garment, revealing a magnificent golden dragon sigil.

"It’s a dragon totem—a King Totem at that!" Ling Yuner gasped in shock.

Among the totems, there are Spirit Totems, Mystic Totems, Dao Totems, and then Royal Totems!

Despite Qin Yun having Mo Mo, his current totem is still a Mystic Totem. To transform it into a Dao Totem, Mo Mo needs to level up first.

A stronger totem means greater strength.

The young man from the Heavenly Dragon Gate not only possesses a King-level Dragon Totem on his body but surely also has one in his Martial Soul, along with a Celestial Dragon physique and thick dragon blood. He’s top-tier in every way.

"You're Long Chuanwu? The one who killed my father!" Long Yucang felt immense pressure from the opponent's aura and shouted loudly.

"If your father died by my hand, you think *you* stand a chance? You’re walking to your death!" Long Chuanwu, with his handsome but icy demeanor, stared expressionlessly at Long Yucang.

Long Yucang stared, envy burning, at the golden dragon totems on Long Chuanwu's body, knowing there was a gap between them. Yet, he couldn't back down now.

"Xiao Yun, Long Yucang is toast. Be ready to run!" Ling Yuner said.

"I know!" Qin Yun also wrote off Long Yucang.

The King Dragon Totem on Long Chuanwu's body alone was a testament to his power.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate crew all looked relaxed, showing their absolute confidence in Long Chuanwu.

On Long Yucang's side, only his fifth uncle had his back, but even he couldn't do much—after all, he had to survive too.

The arena was sealed, and an elder shouted, "Begin!"

The battle started, and Qin Yun clenched his fists, eyes glued.

Long Chuanwu stood motionless while Long Yucang went in swinging!

Long Yucang used a fist technique, unleashing a surge of fierce martial force that echoed with a dragon’s snarl, his fists transforming into furious dragon heads.

Roar!

Two wrathful dragon heads struck Long Chuanwu's totems with violent speed, ripping through the air with a sky-splitting dragon’s cry!

"Is this a martial skill from the Heavenly Dragon Art?" Qin Yun, who knew a bit of the Heavenly Dragon Art, thought to himself.

Shockingly, Long Yucang's powerful punches barely made Long Chuanwu budge.

Long Chuanwu stood with his hands behind his back, coldly watching Long Yucang, showing no intention of attacking.

The audience went wild!

Long Chuanwu's strength was overwhelming—standing bare-chested, hands behind his back, letting Long Yucang strike him, yet he was unscathed.

Long Yucang felt the crushing power gap and the humiliation. Both were at the mid-stage Martial King Realm, yet the difference was staggering.

Qin Yun was inwardly stunned. He could tell Long Yucang was no weakling—among peers, he was formidable, even capable of defeating late-stage Martial Kings.

Yet against a Heavenly Dragon Gate disciple like Long Chuanwu, he was outclassed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Long Yucang charged forward, roaring as he wailed on Long Chuanwu.

"Scram!" Long Chuanwu coldly barked, releasing a shockwave from his mouth that blasted Long Yucang back.

"I yield!" Long Yucang shouted.

The entire arena erupted in an uproar—Long Yucang was completely disgraced!

At that moment, the barrier slowly closed. Long Yucang, blood spilling from his mouth, leaped out of the arena and rushed toward Qin Yun.

"No one who crosses me lives!" Long Chuanwu suddenly roared, his face twisting into a vicious snarl. He lunged forward, dashing toward Long Yucang and launching a crushing blow.

Long Yucang stumbled as he fled, completely powerless to defend against Long Chuanwu's surprise attack from behind—he was as good as dead!

Boom!

Just as Long Chuanwu's fist was about to land, Qin Yun suddenly materialized behind Long Yucang, meeting the strike with his own punch.

The collision of their fists released a shockwave, flinging Long Yucang back into the arena while Qin Yun was also sent flying from the impact!

The elders of the Heavenly Dragon Gate also gaped in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief—someone had actually managed to block Long Chuanwu's terrifying punch!
