Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1475 (Raw 1455): Rage Settled

Not a single place in the immense Heavenly Dragon City remained intact. The entire Dragon's Gate was destroyed.

Xiao Chen reproached himself. Why had he not been here at the Dragon's Gate's crucial moment?

A bloody stench still lingered in the air. When one sniffed, one would be able to smell it. However, Xiao Chen did not want to, because who knew how much of it came from the blood of the Dragon's Gate's many disciples?

When looking around, he saw many of the families of the Dragon's Gate's disciples doing their best to dig in the rubble.

Some disciples had not died yet. Some were already dead for some time.

Hatred. Xiao Chen hated that he had failed to save the situation. He hated that he could not bring the dead back to life. He hated that he was not here back then to stop this tragedy from happening.

He hated the Blood Clad Sect for hurting the innocents of the Dragon's Gate.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen somewhat came to an understanding of what it meant to feel pain so intense that one no longer had the heart to feel pain.

Xiao Chen formed hand seals with both hands and cast the Taiji Saber Domain. All the rubble on the ground—walls, stone pillars, eaves—within one kilometer floated up within the Saber Domain.

With a thought, all the huge rocks instantly turned into dust and disappeared, borne away by the wind.

The Dragon's Gate's disciples buried in the rubble appeared.

Xiao Chen tapped on his forehead. The Life Essence merged with his Heart of an Emperor turned into motes of light and floated out of his body.

The motes of light containing his Life Essence looked extremely beautiful.

As long as the Dragon's Gate's disciples on the ground still had a breath in them, after the Life Essence nourished them, their wounds healed, mending at a visible pace.

As long as they were not dead, Xiao Chen pulled them back from the gates of hell.

He just closed his eyes and slowly walked about the immense city. Everywhere he passed, the huge rocks of the rubble floated into the air before being crushed into dust and disappearing into the wind.

Everywhere Xiao Chen passed, he cleared out large areas of debris.

The Life Essence that Xiao Chen sent out was even more effective than the best medicine for treating injuries. The various Dragon's Gate's disciples miraculously recovered.

"Elder Brother White Robes, what are you doing? That is Life Essence." Little Three, the Three Life Mirror's Item Spirit, was startled and frightened silly by Xiao Chen's actions.

By scattering his Life Essence like this, Xiao Chen lost one hundred years of his lifespan.

The Life Essence also contained the origin of his cultivation. Hence, he likewise lost one hundred strands of Primordial Energy.

"There's nothing to fear. I have two thousand years of lifespan. Even if I lose one thousand years of it, it will not be fatal. Even though my cultivation regressed, I can recultivate it back. Saving others is more important," Xiao Chen replied calmly. He appeared pale as he continued walking.

Xiao Chen simply explained his shocking and horrifying actions so casually. After Little Three heard this, she remained speechless for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Life Essence and the origin of one's cultivation were the foundation of a cultivator. No one would be willing to shave off any of it. It was the most precious treasure of a cultivator.

Everyone alive amid the ruins was stunned at this scene.

After a while, Xiao Chen had walked all over the city, clearing out all the debris. Aside from some dilapidated key structures, the vast Heavenly Dragon City no longer had any rubble.

People stood up from the ground, one after another, looking at their healed wounds in some bewilderment.

However, when they saw the masked black-clad Xiao Chen giving off a cold air, not one dared to go forward and ask anything.

Nothing!

Xiao Chen did not see the corpses of Mo Chen, Lan Shaobai, Xuanyuan Zhantian, or the other Dragon's Gate's Elders.

By now, Xiao Chen already drained one thousand years of his lifespan. Only seven hundred strands of his Primordial Energy remained. His anxious heart relaxed slightly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A series of sonic booms resounded behind Xiao Chen, someone rushing towards him. When he turned around, he recognized this person.

This person was Heavenly Dragon City's Vice Commander, Yuan Bing. He was a Third Heaven Martial Emperor and was normally in charge of maintaining the social order of the city as well as the guards of the City Lord's Residence.

"Might I ask who you are? Why are you willing to use your Life Essence to save the disciples of our Dragon's Gate?"

Yuan Bing looked at Xiao Chen, only daring to speak after drumming up some courage.

For some reason, when Yuan Bing faced this mysterious masked person, there seemed to be an invisible forcefield. Even though the other party did not do anything, he still felt like he fell significantly short of the other party.

The strange pressure made Yuan Bing very nervous.

"I am City Lord Mo's good friend. I received a call for reinforcements but was too late."

Right now, Xiao Chen still could not expose his identity. However, he needed to ask about what happened in Heavenly Dragon City.

"So, it is City Lord Mo's good friend. Pardon my rudeness!"

Mo Chen held very high prestige in Heavenly Dragon City. Those who could become friends with her would be people of at least similar strength and standing. However, it was still hard to explain why the masked man was willing to spend his Life Essence to save the Dragon's Gate's disciples.

There were many suspicious points, which confused Yuan Bing.

"Where is the City Lord?" Xiao Chen asked.

Yuan Bing's expression turned somewhat grave at Xiao Chen's question. He answered, "Captured. The Blood Clad Sect attacked. The City Lord and the Dragon's Gate's Elders fought hard. However, they still could not push back the other party's attacks.

"The Blood Clad Sect's Sect Master personally made a move and injured the City Lord. After the city gates fell, the troops of the Blood Clad Sect all charged in. The other party had too many people. We simply were not a match for them.

"The City Lord and all the other Dragon's Gate's Elders who had some relation with the Azure Dragon King were captured."

Xiao Chen felt a pang in his heart. He endured the grief and continued asking, "Where were they brought to?"

"It should be in Western Dragon City where the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace is. However, I do not know the exact location. I had fainted earlier and just woke up."

Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. "The Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace? How are they involved in this?"

Yuan Bing explained for a while, telling Xiao Chen that the Western Sea Dragon King was the Blood Clad Sect's mysterious Sect Master.

It's him!

Xiao Chen exuded a murderous air from his entire body, his control slipping somewhat. Before this extremely heavy pressure, Yuan Bing felt like he was plunged into an ice cave.

No wonder. I was puzzled why the Blood Clad Sect would attack the Dragon's Gate for no reason at all. If the Blood Clad Sect's Sect Master is the Western Sea Dragon King, everything is easily explained.

"Sir, please don't be rash. That Western Sea Dragon King's strength is now unfathomable. Without a Prime appearing, few would be able to defeat him.

"The more important thing is that the Blood Clad Sect is filled with experts and has gathered the factions that the Sea Monarch left behind. Now, they are as strong as an Immortal Holy Land. Charging in recklessly would be no different from sending yourself to death," Yuan Bing advised with much difficulty, enduring the pressure. He did not wish for this mysterious friend of the City Lord to rush into danger.

Without personally experiencing that huge battle, one would not understand the horror of the Blood Clad Sect. Without seeing the Western Sea Dragon King fight, one would not know how strong he was.

Xiao Chen calmed down. Indeed, even if he still had one thousand strands of Primordial Energy, and grasped the state of cycle and the Divine Lightning Eye, by charging into a Holy Land like that, he would not only fail to save his friends but also lose his life there.

It was not that Xiao Chen underestimated himself. It was just that the strength of an individual was indeed rather insignificant when facing a large faction that could rival a Holy Land.

Xiao Chen was confident that he could charge in and out, able to retreat safely.

However, that was pointless. That would not save Mo Chen and the others. Not only would it be useless, but it would even harm them.

After asking further, Xiao Chen also found out why the Martial God Palace and the thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea did not come over to reinforce the Dragon's Gate.

Ying Zongtian was leading the Martial God Palace's people to battle the Demons in the Starry Heavens with the Deity Dao Union, which left him without scope for distraction.

As for the Black Sea, there were some sudden internal conflicts. The thirteen Great Bandits could not spare any of their attention elsewhere.

"I'll take my leave first!"

Xiao Chen glanced at the Dragon's Gate and instructed Yuan Bing to care for these Dragon's Gate's disciples properly before departing alone.

The urgent matter now was to obtain the latest news about Mo Chen and the others in order to take appropriate measures.

From being thoroughly enraged, Xiao Chen completely calmed down. His anger had not extinguished. It was just settling slowly, accumulating.
