The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Xia Ling’s threat had a huge impact.

Long Chen simply couldn’t imagine the sight of his woman suddenly marrying another man and having children. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

In fact, Long Chen knew that Xia Ling was only using this method as a warning and would not actually do this, but it certainly had the desired effect.

"My dears, don’t worry, I won’t mess up again, I’ll go supervise those seventeen guys’ cultivation."

Long Chen got up and slipped away.

Watching Long Chen’s retreating figure, Xia Ling and the others burst into laughter.

They didn’t know that at this very moment, a major event was unfolding.

In the Ancient Martial World and Cultivation World, the Dragon Order had reappeared, conveying the same message: at all costs, suppress Long Chen and the Dragon Shadow Group.

With this order, the world was in turmoil.

In a hidden sect deep within a mountain, the sect leader excitedly kneeled towards the south. "Sword Master, it has been thirty years since you last issued the Dragon Order, and finally, I have a chance to repay your favor."

In the north, a prominent family was holding a top-secret meeting.

The family head stood with his hands behind his back, speaking sternly, "The Dragon Order has reappeared, and the lord has ordered us to suppress Long Chen and the Dragon Shadow Group at all costs. We must act immediately to try to complete the mission before others, so Sword Master will remember us."

"Father, the Dragon Order... I...I have never heard of it before?" a young man cautiously asked, having never seen his father so tense before.

The family head looked stern, glancing at the young man before speaking solemnly, "Decades ago, a saying spread across the world: when the Dragon Order is out, who dares to compete.

The Dragon Order comes from the Sword Master in the south. Thirty years ago, he had used the Dragon Order once, and that time, a prince spilled his blood, and a hundred thousand people were killed or injured.

After thirty years, the Dragon Order has emerged once again, and this time, it will likely be another bloody and violent affair."

Hiss.

Hearing the family head’s words, everyone in the meeting inhaled sharply.

At this moment, they felt an inexplicable reverence for the three words ’Dragon Order.’

Similarly, the same scenario was playing out everywhere.

A great upheaval was brewing.

...

The next day, in Qianzhou.

Long Chen received intelligence from the Great Xia Mansion’s Heavenly Net Palace, and he finally learned about the Dragon Order.

"The Dragon Order is out, who dares to compete, is it really that powerful?"

Long Chen looked at Long’er.

Long Er shook his head, "I’m not sure, but from what I can see now, the Dragon Order’s influence is substantial, not just limited to Great Xia, but also forces outside of Great Xia are getting restless."

"It does seem to be significant," Long Chen stroked his chin, "And to think, after we destroyed Undying Mountain, a Sword Master from the south emerged, conjuring up a Dragon Order. How will they deal with Great Xia Mansion?"

"From every angle without dead ends—business, military force, power suppression—because they have such capabilities in all these areas.

Thirty years ago, a prince died under the Dragon Order, and thirty years later, that Sword Master is still alive, which explains a lot of issues. We cannot be careless."

Long’er said.

"Long’er, continue to gather more clues and caution everyone not to neglect their cultivation. No matter how the situation evolves, having a strong cultivation provides the capital to fight." Long Chen said.

"Okay."

Long’er turned and left.

Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.

Now, his realm was incomparable to before.

With Ximen Wuhen’s help, Long Chen had now stepped beyond the Creation Realm into the Cave Law Realm.

The strength of this realm was beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

But as of now, no one knew that Long Chen had reached this realm.

Even Qing Zhi didn’t know.

Because Long Chen had never mentioned it to her, after all, the reason his cultivation had soared was due to Ximen Wuhen. If Long Chen mentioned it, it would only make her more upset.

So at this moment, faced with the formidable Dragon Order, Long Chen was not panicked.

The Cave Law Realm was his confidence.

If the enemy wanted to play with money, with the strength of Dragon Shadow Group, he wasn’t afraid.

In both civil and military aspects, Long Chen was fearless.

If all else failed, he could just run to the south and slaughter the Sword Master, and everything would naturally quiet down.

With that thought, Long Chen didn’t think further and went to the secret base in Great Xia Mansion to guide seventeen people in their cultivation.

These seventeen people were a powerful force carefully cultivated by Long Chen.

Currently, the cultivation of these seventeen people had certain combat power, but it still wasn’t enough, not meeting Long Chen’s requirements.

Long Chen envisioned that each of the seventeen needed to reach the Creation Realm to qualify.

After giving it some thought, Long Chen ran to the Alchemy Factory overnight, crafted some special elixirs, and brought them back to Great Xia Mansion to aid the seventeen in their cultivation.

...

The next morning, when Long Chen walked out of the secret base, Long’er approached him with a serious expression.

"Long’er, sweetheart, why do you look so troubled early in the morning? What happened?"

Long Chen asked smilingly.

"It’s a big issue," Long’er said. "Just last night, in one night, the City Lord was replaced, and the heads of all major departments were changed simultaneously."

Long Chen’s mind tensed. Who had such great power to do something so huge overnight?

"Indeed, the Dragon Order has acted, and who can contend with it? Even the City Lord can be replaced overnight. Have you found out anything? Who did it?"

Long Chen asked.

"We can’t find out anything, what should we do?"

Long’er was unusually panicked.

Because it was the first time in history that neither the Dragon Palace nor Great Xia Mansion could track down such news.

"Don’t be afraid, however strong the hidden hand behind this is, it can’t be greater than Ancestor Xia, right?"

Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Mmm, that’s true," Long’er said.

"That’s right then, they are just bugs hiding in a sewer. Let’s slowly play along. If we ignore him, he will naturally show himself. When the small fish and shrimps come out, then we’ll eliminate them. Once we get rid of the small fish, the big one will naturally appear, and we’ll solve it step by step. No need to rush."

Long Chen embraced Long’er.

His words and his embrace gave Long’er tremendous courage.

Reinvigorated, Long’er flashed a sweet smile.

This sweet smile, quite rare, was just seen by Xia Ling who had come out.

For a moment, Xia Ling was almost stupefied.

Upon noticing Xia Ling, Long’er quickly hid her sweet smile.

Xia Ling walked up, took Long’er’s hand: "Goodness, you can even show such an utterly sweet smile. The sun must be rising from the west today, Little Sister Long’er, dear, smile again."

"I can’t smile anymore."

Long’er said softly.

"How can that be? Weren’t you just happy and smiling? Come on, sweetie, smile for me, and sister will buy you candy."

Xia Ling coaxed Long’er.

This approach made Long’er almost burst into laughter, and she smiled lightly.

"I understand now," Xia Ling said. "What attracts Long Chen the most about you is definitely not your great strength, but rather, because you only smile sweetly at him. Which man could resist that?"

"Because I love him."

Long’er spoke lightly, yet it felt completely natural.
