Chapter 826: Chapter 798: Changes

One month later.

Li Chen sat cross-legged by the side of a small lake.

Scattered around him, a few Primordial Beasts carefully sipped at the water. Displaying far more intelligence than wild beasts, their gazes towards Li Chen were laced with a hint of reverence.

For Li Chen had become the recognized king of all Primordial Beasts in this region!

Just like how formidable wild beasts would claim their own territories.

This region had now officially become Li Chen’s territory.

Normally, even when Li Chen went hunting, he would venture into the territories of other powerful Primordial Beasts, where he’d hunt while also battling other Lords.

The fact that he could sit here leisurely and cultivate was testament to his victories.

"Huff—"

A long breath escaped him, and Li Chen propped his chin, mulling over something with a hint of vexation.

"How did this happen? Wasn’t it agreed that Wan’er was to be my childhood betrothed? How did it suddenly become An Qin?" Li Chen was quite conflicted inside.

Not long ago, his Second Grandfather, the master who taught him martial arts, told him in person that An Qin was the one he was betrothed to since childhood, and that this match had been arranged by his own father.

Ouyang Wan’er was merely a girl brought back by his grandfathers from outside, they’d jokingly told him she was his betrothed when they were children.

"Damn... What exactly is going on?" Li Chen’s face contorted into a bitter gourd. Now he had yet another reason that he must save An Qin.

Although he had decided long ago that he must rescue An Qin, with his current strength, there was truly little hope.

As Li Chen kicked at the lake water, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the depths.

Upon noticing this shadow, the Primordial Beasts that had been drinking became instantly panicked, with many turning around and darting back into the forest.

The shadow slowly ascended from the water’s surface, revealing a ferocious visage with a gruesomely wide mouth, from which you could barely make out knife-sharp teeth.

And now, this shadow was creeping closer to Li Chen.

"Splash!"

A giant crocodile head, more than a meter long, broke the surface, splashing huge waves of water.

"A Jia! How many times have I told you to be more discreet when you come out!" Li Chen was deep in thought when he was suddenly interrupted, and couldn’t help but shout out irritably.

Following Li Chen’s roar, a crocodile covered in steel-like black scales climbed slowly out of the lake, its eyes looking somewhat aggrieved at Li Chen.

"Look what you’ve done!" Li Chen pointed to his drenched clothes and yelled at the crocodile.

The black crocodile A Jia opened its mouth and then lowered its head to the ground, wagging its tail to appease Li Chen.

"Enough already!" Seeing A Jia’s action, Li Chen couldn’t help but burst into a mix of laughter and tears: "You’re not even a dog, what’s with the tail wagging?"

Primordial Beasts were far more intelligent than regular wild beasts; after Li Chen became the king of this region, several of the more intelligent and powerful Primordial Beasts were also subdued by him.

After all, Li Chen spent most of his time here alone, and it could get quite boring, so apart from cultivating, most of the time Li Chen took on the role of a Beast Tamer, training these Primordial Beasts.

Tossing a freshly roasted piece of meat weighing over ten pounds to A Jia, Li Chen’s gaze once again turned distant.

"I wonder how things are outside now?"

Patted his clothes, Li Chen slowly stood up and looked at his own hands: "It’s... time for me to go out!"

...

"Qilin Princess, how are things on your end?"

"Quite troublesome. This guy is really strong. With my current strength alone, I’m no match for him," the Qilin Princess said somewhat helplessly through the phone.

Beside the Qilin Princess, Ouyang Wan’er’s eyes also showed a hint of dejection.

In the past, it wasn’t too bad, but lately, for some reason, there have been more and more skilled individuals appearing everywhere.

Of course, most of them still abide by the rules and do not disrupt the existing order and regulations, otherwise, Huaxia would have descended into chaos long ago.

However, there are always those few who act unpredictably, and for those individuals, Dragon Soul has to step in and handle the situation themselves.

"We got it, send us your location and support will arrive soon!"

"Support? We have backup? Isn’t Dragon Soul short-staffed?" the Qilin Princess asked in surprise.

"Uh..." Xia Feng hesitated, then lowered his voice and said, "You didn’t hear this from me, only a few people at the top know about this. These additional personnel are borrowed from the King of the Netherworld."

"What? Li Chen? Borrowed from that bastard?"

"Had no choice, you know our current situation..." Xia Feng said with some embarrassment.

"Alright, alright, I got it. I’ll send you the address later, I have things to handle, hanging up!" the Qilin Princess spoke and, without waiting for Xia Feng to respond, hung up the phone.

Seemingly having thought of something, the Qilin Princess’s gaze shifted, then looked at the still somewhat dazed Ouyang Wan’er and whispered, "Wan’er, come over, let’s have a chat."

...

Meanwhile, in Linchuan.

"What’s the situation?"

"Don’t know, a squad of our brothers was suddenly attacked by people of unknown identity, one dead and seven injured. Moreover, the adversary’s strength was quite formidable," Heishou said with a troubled expression.

Because those who were killed and wounded were his subordinates.

As the new Battle General, it was impossible for Heishou’s subordinates to remain unassigned forever. Under Catherine’s organization, Heishou also acquired a certain degree of power.

"These people might very well be targeting us," Catherine said in a solemn voice, looking at the Palace of the Nether King’s commanders around her.

"Everyone must be aware of the recent situation in Huaxia. In Linchuan, although there have been some unidentified strong figures, most of them have complied. Of course, there have been some troublemakers, but most of these have been dealt with by us."

"No doubt, these people should also understand that Linchuan is our territory!" Catherine stated.

At that moment, Alice walked over with a computer and added, "Of course, it’s the same principle as ’a tall tree catches the wind.’ Some people, upon learning that Linchuan is our territory, are bound to be displeased. So now, trouble has come."

Catherine nodded her head: "Although the boss isn’t here right now, we can’t lose the prestige of the Palace of the Nether King. Alice has already found the location of the guy who attacked our brothers."

"Now, everyone get ready."

"We are going to make them realize, the Palace of the Nether King is not to be trifled with!!"
