Chapter 272: The Revival of Candle Dragon? The Barbarian God’s Successor! The Candle Dragon Mark!
Buzz!!!
The round log trembled slightly, and the Candle Dragon totem on its surface glowed with a fiery red light.
“Huh?”
Qin Wang raised his eyebrows, looking at the round log with great interest.
He retracted the Qingping Sword, held it in front of him, and then placed the Barbarian God Shield in front as well. He also took out the Barbarian God’s left hand.
After all, this was the ancient witch god Candle Dragon. If the entity really revived and appeared, it would not be easy to deal with!
Zhang Fujiang, Yan Cangwu, and Jiang Haotian also took out their respective life-saving treasures, nervously watching the round log.
“Our ancestors are reviving! Our ancestors are reviving!”
Candle Heng, witnessing the scene, was overwhelmed with emotion and tears.
For countless years, the Candle Yin Witch Clan had been declining. They once had a Transformation Realm True Monarch, but now the strongest was only Candle Heng, a Yuan Ying early-stage cultivator.
If not for their former glory and their location on the edge of the Witch Domain, without powerful enemies surrounding them, the Candle Yin Witch Clan would have likely disbanded long ago.
To have lasted until now was nothing short of a miracle.
Now, Candle Dragon was finally responding to its descendants and followers.
How could Candle Heng not be excited?
Not only Candle Heng but also the surrounding Candle Yin Witch Clan members were moved to tears.
The ancestor was finally going to appear!
Roar!
A dragon’s roar echoed.
A large amount of天地灵气 (Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy) gathered, forming the shape of the Candle Dragon.
The Candle Dragon roared in anger, soaring into the sky, and then dove downwards.
Seeing the Candle Dragon descending from the sky, Qin Wang immediately understood that its target was him!
Without hesitation, he summoned the Five Ghosts and took out the Heavenly Fire Tower.
He had brought out all useful treasures, showing all his trump cards.
After all, he was facing the ancient witch god Candle Dragon!
How did he get so unlucky?
Demanding a fragment of the Heavenly Fire Tower had summoned the ancient witch god Candle Dragon.
Was he cursed? Had his luck turned bad?
Qin Wang had no time to think further.
The Candle Dragon directly penetrated the Barbarian God Shield.
However, it did not destroy the Barbarian God Shield; it seemed to pass through any barrier as if it were nothing, without causing any damage.
“This…”
Before Qin Wang could finish his sentence, the Candle Dragon transformed into a light spear and pierced into Qin Wang’s brow and sea of consciousness.
In an instant, Qin Wang stood frozen, unable to move, and his eyes remained open.
He was still breathing but could not move.
Zhang Fujiang and the others were panic-stricken upon seeing this.
They did not know what was happening to Qin Wang, but with the Candle Dragon entering his sea of consciousness, could it mean…
“Possession?”
Yan Cangwu spoke reflexively.
“It shouldn’t be.”
Jiang Haotian frowned.
The ancestor of the Candle Yin Witch Clan must be an ancient powerhouse. How could such an ancient figure possess a mere Peak Qi Refining cultivator? It seemed improbable.
But now the reality was right before them.
“Regardless, we should wait until the master wakes up.”
Yan Cangwu said solemnly.
Zhang Fujiang and Jiang Haotian exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
The three of them vigilantly observed the Candle Yin Witch Clan members around them.
Candle Heng also did not understand why the ancestor would possess this young man, but since the ancestor had taken action, they should not interfere.
Nearby, some Candle Yin Witch Clan members saw an opportunity and immediately shouted.
“Attack! Kill this thief!”
“This is the chance given to us by the ancestor, act now!”
“Kill!!!”
Many people responded and charged at Qin Wang and his group.
“Stop!”
Candle Heng instinctively tried to block them.
Unfortunately, he could only stop a small portion, and many still charged towards Qin Wang and his group.
The Five Ghosts immediately launched an attack on the incoming assailants.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The ghostly winds were freezing, easily toppling the first ten or so attackers.
Those people, seeing the danger, retreated even at the risk of severe injury.
The Five Ghosts did not pursue them and continued to protect Qin Wang’s surroundings.
Candle Heng, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately ordered his people to stay put and wait for the outcome. After all, with the ancestor taking action, all issues should be resolved.
…………………………
In Qin Wang’s sea of consciousness.
The Candle Dragon circled above, looking at Qin Wang in the center.
“Kid, where did you get the Barbarian God’s left hand?”
The Candle Dragon asked curiously.
“Why should I tell you?”
Qin Wang retorted directly.
Even though the Candle Dragon was an ancient witch god, its intrusion into his sea of consciousness was quite displeasing.
If necessary, he would retreat into the Soul Gathering Bowl.
If the Candle Dragon could break through the Soul Gathering Bowl, then he would have no choice but to accept his fate.
“Hahahahaha, no wonder the Barbarian God favored you; you have some personality.”
The Candle Dragon said, transforming into a human form.
Though in human form, it still retained dragon scales and a dragon tail, giving it a somewhat strange appearance.
“You came here; you must want to discuss something with me, right?”
Qin Wang asked directly.
“Indeed. I came to negotiate with you. If you spare the Candle Yin Witch Clan and ensure they survive until the next Wanling Battle, how about it?”
The Candle Dragon said calmly.
“What’s in it for me?”
Qin Wang raised an eyebrow.
“In it for you? What do you want?”
The Candle Dragon looked at Qin Wang intently.
Although it had many treasures, it was uncertain if any of them would be enough to sway Qin Wang.
“That depends on what you can offer.”
Qin Wang smiled slightly.
He understood the principle of bargaining.
Once he stated his needs and limits, the Candle Dragon would surely see through his motives. It was better to let the Candle Dragon make the first offer.
The Candle Dragon burst into laughter.
“Hahahahaha, humans are indeed cunning. Do you want innate treasures, Dao patterns, or Dao techniques…?”
The Candle Dragon asked with a smile.
“Want them.”
Qin Wang answered straightforwardly.
“I don’t have them.”
The Candle Dragon continued laughing.
“Hmm?”
Qin Wang was taken aback.
Was this old fellow playing tricks?
With nothing to offer, what was the point of negotiating?
Realizing this, Qin Wang’s expression darkened.
“Hahahahaha, you really are like that old Barbarian God, not one for jokes. Alright, alright.”
The Candle Dragon sighed, its expression somewhat forlorn.
“It’s been over a hundred thousand years; it’s been too boring. I can’t even find someone to talk to. Perhaps this will be the last time I leave a mark in the world. Kid, as long as you promise to ensure the Candle Yin Witch Clan survives, I will grant you the Candle Dragon Mark. The Candle Dragon Mark has boundless uses; you’ll have to explore them yourself.”
The Candle Dragon said, then transformed into a beam of light and flew towards Qin Wang.
Before Qin Wang could react, the light fell onto the back of his right hand.
After a moment of intense heat, the Candle Dragon totem appeared on the back of his right hand, quickly fading away.
Qin Wang knew that the mark had not disappeared; it would reappear whenever he needed it.
But…
What was the use of the Candle Dragon Mark?
And about the Wanling Battle, did it mean that the next Wanling Battle was about to begin?
