Chapter 588: Chapter 588 Ominous Omens

After repelling the army of the Undying Blood Clan, the entire Blood God Sect had temporarily regained its former tranquility.

However, Lin Yi encountered a major problem, one he considered even bigger than breaking through to the Venerable Realm.

That was the issue of two women.

A man and a woman working together is harmonious, non-strenuous.

But with a man and two women, it’s a different story, likely to lead straight to conflict.

Despite Lin Yi’s constant efforts to avoid it, he still couldn’t evade the topic.

On this day, just after coming out of seclusion, he was immediately confronted by Lu Qingcheng.

Facing the smiling yet not smiling Lu Qingcheng, Lin Yi wore a helpless look, knowing that he probably couldn’t muddle through today.

"Listen to my explanation..."

Unexpectedly, a sly smile appeared on Lu Qingcheng’s face. "I guess you wouldn’t want to say that you just made a mistake every man would make, right?"

Lin Yi was secretly shocked. How had Lu Qingcheng perfectly guessed his inner thoughts?

"How could that be?"

Lin Yi let out a dry laugh, then couldn’t help but sigh deeply, "This all started one dark and windy night..."

Lin Yi recounted to Lu Qingcheng the entire chain of events that had occurred in the grove.

"So you’re saying, you were completely coerced, and this has nothing to do with you at all?"

A smiling yet increasingly "amiable" expression spread across Lu Qingcheng’s face.

"Of course!"

Lin Yi nodded his head like a rattle-drum. "I am the victim here!"

"Ha!"

Even Little Jin couldn’t hold back a laugh at the word ’victim’. "You little rascal, have you no shame?"

"As I recall, you were quite enjoying yourself at the time, it lasted for two whole hours, tsk tsk..."

Lin Yi’s face went ashen. "Dead Dog, shut your mouth!"

That Dead Dog, always kicking a man when he’s down, was trying to throw him into the fire to roast!

"Lin—Yi!"

Before Lin Yi could lay a hand on Little Jin, a terrifying chill suddenly exploded from Lu Qingcheng, almost enough to freeze all the blood in his veins!

Trouble!

Lin Yi’s expression changed. It seemed he would not escape this calamity today!

However, just at that moment.

Wuuu wuuu...

A dull horn sound suddenly resonated across the land, akin to the roar of a Dragon.

"It’s the sound of the Dragon Horn!"

Lu Qingcheng re-sheathed her sword, which was half-drawn, her pretty face showing a serious look.

"The Dragon Horn is a Holy Artifact in the hands of the Ministry of War Dragon General. This object not only enhances the morale of oneself and the army, intimidating the enemy, but can also be used to communicate military intelligence."

"When the Dragon Horn sounds, it means there must be an urgent military situation. The Dragon General is using this Dragon Horn to summon nearby Martial Artists of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty to gather at the horn’s location to join the battle."

Hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes also lit up at once. "Does that mean there’s an opportunity for great battle merit?"

The larger the scale of the war, the greater the opportunity, and the more battle merit that could be obtained.

After the two major battles at the Holy Mansion and the Blood God Sect, Lin Yi had already accumulated quite a bit of battle merit points.

But no one would find their battle merits to be too many; battle merits were valuable for they could be exchanged for precious Cultivation Resources from the National Treasury of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty.

"Since it’s the Dragon General’s military summons, we must be facing a formidable enemy. Perhaps, it’s the main force of the Undying Blood Clan; let’s hurry over."

A sharp glint suddenly appeared in Lin Yi’s eyes. Encountering the main force of the Undying Blood Clan meant the chance to clash with the top experts of the Undying Blood Race; slaying them would naturally earn more battle merits!

Lu Qingcheng nodded, and then gave Lin Yi a sideways glance, "We’ll settle our score after this."

With that said, they left the Blood God Sect after bidding farewell to its members and took five hundred troops of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty with them.

Watching Lin Yi and Lu Qingcheng depart, Shangguan Xinyan felt a mix of emotions in her heart.

As the gap between her and Lin Yi continued to widen, she felt that she was becoming more and more distant from him.

The mere bond formed from that one night they shared was not enough to maintain their relationship.

Only someone like Lu Qingcheng, a Heavenly Pride Girl, was truly worthy to stand by Lin Yi’s side.

It was time for her to make some changes...

...

After leaving the Blood God Sect, Lin Yi and Lu Qingcheng led five hundred soldiers of the Ministry of War to the source of the sound of the Dragon Horn.

On the way, Lu Qingcheng suddenly looked up and noticed celestial omens in the sky.

A meteor fell from the firmament, casting the starry sky ahead into gloom, and a vast expanse of blood-red light appeared nearby, an ominous sign.

"The stars dim, a bloody night looms..."

Lu Qingcheng’s expression turned very grim. "These are very inauspicious omens."

"It seems that the Dragon General may have run into trouble."

"You understand celestial omens?"

Lin Yi looked at Lu Qingcheng in surprise.

"I learned a bit when I was with the Luo Family."

Lu Qingcheng said indifferently. "It’s only a rudimentary understanding."

Nevertheless, Lin Yi found it hard to believe. "How could the Dragon General run into trouble with his strength?"

Amazement spread across Lin Yi’s face—the Dragon General was not only a powerful Saint in his own right but also a great figure renowned for his strategies. How could he so easily fall into trouble?
