Dragon Blooded War God-Chapter 410: Courtesan

He knew Long Chen was strong, but he never thought Long Chen would be so arrogant. To think he would talk about killing Lin Zichen. The First Commander started to relax and did not take Long Chen seriously.

It seems Batian is using him as a warrior only. If Batian really becomes the Emperor, he will kill this young man to silence everyone who knows about this.

The First Commander understood what kind of man Lin Batian was and knew that was what he had planned. The Counter Essence Realm was already in chaos and there were very few Heaven-tier spiritual herbs left. Even if they had some, and even if Lin Batian became the Emperor, he wouldn’t be able to give any Heaven-tier spiritual herbs because all of them were in the hands of the Sword Emperor!

“Lin Zichen is my fourth brother and also the strongest youth in the Cangyang Kingdom. He’s already at the Ninth River Stage at such a young age. He’s second only to my father in terms of strength!” Lin Batian explained since Long Chen had asked. An hour later, Lin Batian probed, “Brother Yang, I’ve explained the current situation to you. Should we enter the palace now?”

Long Chen nodded. “Lin Zichen is fine, and I should be able to fight him. Our agreement is now in full force. Prepare me the Heavenly-tier spiritual herb and I will be able to get you what you need.”

Lin Batian smiled and cried, “Thank you, Brother Yang, for your help! If I become the Emperor, I will never forget about your assistance!”

Long Chen chuckled.

He then followed Lin Batian towards the palace. This was the first time he had gone there. The First Commander was walking beside Long Chen. While he was looking forward most of the time, he stole glances at Long Chen quite frequently too.

But he could see nothing wrong about Long Chen.

The palace is a dangerous place for me, so I shouldn’t stay there for long … Long Chen was very clear about his objectives.

Since the Eldest Prince was wearing the clothes of a normal noble, and very few people had seen him in person, he was not recognized by the people on the street. Otherwise, the crowd would’ve flocked towards him.

The three of them walked up the wide street. Since this road led to the palace, it was very busy and lively. Just then, Long Chen heard someone discussing something interesting.

“Have you heard that the number of demonic beasts in the Snowpeak Mountains to the north of the Cangyang Kingdom is multiplying rapidly? Many of the beasts are flocking to our kingdom! I heard that they overran an entire city!”

“I’ve heard of it too! The beasts are currently attacking one of the most important cities in the north, Ginger City. If the palace doesn’t send reinforcements soon, the people in that city will be killed! All children and elderly people there will become food for the beasts …”

“I heard the survivors describing it as a living hell!”

Long Chen frowned and looked at Lin Batian. “Is it true that Ginger City is under attack?”

LIn Batian nodded. “I’m also very concerned with this. I thought my father would let me lead some soldiers there since a stampede of that magnitude would be difficult to repel with just the number of soldiers in Ginger City. But then again, I’ve heard that there’s a Category Nine Earth-tier beast in the stampede, and I don’t think my army could kill it. Now that my father is looking for someone to inherit the throne …”

“That means that you could repel the stampede, but you need someone at Lin Zichen’s level to deal with the Category Nine Earth-tier beast. But then there’s also the issue with the succession …”

“Everything is up to my father. I will have to leave if he tells me to, but Lin Zichen is always by my father’s side, so he has a higher chance of being dispatched.” Lin Batian sighed.

The three of them continued making their way to the palace. This was the first time Long Chen had entered the glimmering palace, and he was impressed by how grand it was. It was many times more luxurious than the Heavenly Demon Palace. The Heavenly Demon Palace was like a place to cultivate quietly, while the glimmering imperial palace was filled with bloodlust.

“From here onwards are the palaces meant for the princes. My palace is called Qianwen Palace, while Lin Zichen’s palace is over there …” Lin Batian pointed at another palace that was as grand as his. “That’s Xingchen Palace, where Lin Zichen spends most of his time.”

Long Chen suddenly felt a dangerous aura while hearing the explanation and looked up. He saw a beautiful man with white robes walking out with two beautiful courtesans. The two parties met each other.

The Eldest Prince looked worse off in comparison because he had two guys instead of courtesans by his side. The man who had walked out of the palace was none other than Long Chen’s target, Lin Zichen. The latter was holding the waist of two exquisite courtesans while approaching Lin Batian. It was only when they were in front of Lin Batian that Lin Zichen scoffed at him.

“My Lord, you are so strong, both in bed and outside. You are much stronger than someone else …”

“I think so too. My body feels so numb and weak. You used too much force.”

The courtesans were hugging Lin Zichen and pressing their chests to his arms. They were praising him while looking at the Eldest Prince with disgust.

“Qing Qing! Wei Wei! How dare you!” Lin Batian was angered when he saw who the courtesans were. Both of them had been adopted by Lin Batian when they were abandoned on the battlefield. They had lied in Lin Batian’s bed last night, and now they were in Lin Zichen’s arms barely a day later.

Wei Wei rolled her eyes at Lin Batian. “What? The Fourth Prince has promised to marry us, so of course we would follow him. Why should we follow someone who’s going to die soon? Everyone has been saying that you will not live for more than a few days.”

“Wei Wei, I will slap you if you continue spouting nonsense.” Lin Zichen chuckled and then pushed the two courtesans lightly behind him. “Brother, I have to say that your taste in women is excellent. Considering that I’m your little brother, I hope you’re kind enough to let me keep them since they’ve chosen me.”

Lin Zichen was too arrogant! Not only had he stolen Lin Batian’s toys, he was even using them to humiliate him. Lin Batian was naturally very angry and was about to lose control when the First Commander stopped him. “Your Highness, calm down. Don’t fall into his trap. He’s forcing you to make a move first. If you do, he will use this chance to injure you.”

The First Commander’s words made Lin Batian calm down. That was close. I almost fell for the trap. I’m very confident in my skills in bed since I always made the two of them feel so comfortable. It’s impossible for them to criticize my skills, so it’s likely that Lin Zichen told them what to say.

Lin Batian was a very careful and witty individual, which was instrumental to his rise in power. He laughed instead of getting angry. “Of course, if you want them, I will give them to you since I’ve used them quite a bit. Though I have to say, you really do have an odd interest. You seem to enjoy taking hand-me-downs, so I guess I will give you even more the next time I get new ones.”

Lin Batian’s words made Lin Zichen frown.

He wanted to taunt Lin Batian into attacking him, but he had failed.

Lin Batian was lucky to have the First Commander with him, or he may not have avoided the trap.

He knew what kind of man Lin Zichen was, but he had been caught off guard. Lin Zichen loved cultivation so much that women were like floating clouds to him. The two courtesans had put up an act after Lin Zichen forced them to.

“Consider yourself lucky today, Lin Batian. You are only at the Seventh River Stage and you dare to fight me? Father doesn’t want me to kill you in the palace, so it's best if you don’t leave. If you do, you won’t even know what hit you!” Lin Zichen released the two courtesans.

Lin Batian smiled. “You are just an idiot who cultivates all day. Do you really think you can manage the country? I would’ve said nothing if you were as good as Father, but killing people seems to be your only talent. If you become the Emperor, the kingdom will fall.”

“We shall see.” Lin Zichen smiled and was about to leave when he saw Long Chen. There was a dangerous aura exuding from Long Chen that made him wary.

“This must be someone you found to come and help you, right?” Lin Zichen smiled at Long Chen.

“I’m here to take your life,” Long Chen suddenly said.

“What did you say?” Lin Zichen thought he had heard wrongly. He knew Long Chen was dangerous, but he was not someone he had to avoid completely. To think a regular person would threaten a member of the royal family like this.

Long Chen shut up and said nothing else.

Lin Batian thought Long Chen was far too arrogant, but since Long Chen had agreed to help him, Lin Batian had no choice but to block Lin Zichen from harming Long Chen. He stood in front of Long Chen and stopped Lin Zichen. “Who cares what he said? But you’ve stood here long enough. It’s time for you to be gone.”
