C2 Don't Joke about the War God
"Oh my god, I must be dreaming. All five War God Temples gathered in one place!"
Chen Miaomiao was ecstatic, dancing around like a die-hard fan who had just met her idol.
Lee Moxue was also scanning the scene in amazement. "Who could this be, warranting such a massive turnout?"
Chen Jun shook his head.
"There can't be anyone in this world who could prompt all five War God Temples to take action simultaneously!"
Inside the airport.
Chu Chenglong's private jet had just touched down, only to be immediately encircled by a sea of individuals clad in combat gear, making it impenetrable.
Among the crowd stood five formidable figures, each exuding an extraordinary presence.
Before the plane's door even opened, someone began to shout.
"Sir, please embark on your return journey. Chigoris prohibits your entry!"
The command boomed through the cabin, resonating with authority.
Yet, an even more powerful voice pierced through from inside the cabin.
"People of Chigoris denying entry to their own? What kind of logic is that?"
The voice caused everything in its path to quiver!
Those of lesser significance around them were knocked unconscious by the sheer force of the voice.
The five War Gods themselves were pushed back several steps, their faces etched with astonishment.
A mere voice had the power to repel the five War Generals. How immense was this person's strength?
They had come prepared to confront a fearsome entity who had shattered the Western War God Ranking.
But they had not anticipated his strength to be so formidable that they might be outmatched in a confrontation!
Then, the voice spoke again.
"Hmm? The leader looks familiar. Has he visited Dragon's Maw before?"
The leader was none other than Zhang Tian Shuo, the sixth-ranked War God from the Solar Shrine.
At the mention of 'Dragon's Maw,' his face twisted in shock.
"Sir, you're familiar with Dragon's Maw? Have you been there as well?"
Zhang Tian Shuo had indeed visited Dragon's Maw.
He had taken a criminal there!
However, he had not intended for the criminal to end up in Dragon's Maw.
Because once the criminal arrived at Dragon's Maw, he would be beyond the reach of deserved justice!
However, he felt powerless.
The criminal possessed an extraordinary ability to manipulate situations to his advantage!
All he knew was that he had been ordered to escort the notoriously brutal villain to Dragon's Maw.
It was not something he wanted to do!
"I've lived in Dragon's Maw for fifteen years. Do you think I've never been there?"
A nonchalant voice came from the aircraft.
"What?!"
Zhang Tian Shuo and the War Gods with him were taken aback.
"People who enter Dragon's Maw can never leave. How did you manage to get out?"
"Simple. I defeated the Twelve Jailers, and they let me go. Is there another way out of Dragon's Maw that I'm not aware of?"
The voice from the aircraft plunged the War Gods below into deep thought.
It's no wonder he single-handedly broke through the Western War God Ranking.
If he came from Dragon's Maw...
That would explain it!
No one had ever escaped from Dragon's Maw.
Those who could were beyond their comprehension.
But now...
They were hesitant to stop the Dragon Emperor from entering Chigoris.
Because if they did, they might have to go to war with him.
And if war broke out...
Chigoris could be plunged into crisis!
This was no laughing matter!
"Why the silence? What's your plan now?"
Noticing the War Gods' silence,
Chu Chenglong spoke up again, his tone indifferent.
"Please hold on a moment!"
"We still need to verify the purpose of your return. What brings you back to the country?"
"Just some personal matters!"
"If it's just personal matters, then we won't hinder you any further. We will, of course, offer you a proper explanation for the inconvenience caused!"
The War Gods of the War God Temple shifted their stance.
One reason was that the Dragon Emperor's strength was formidable; they dared not provoke him!
Another was that Chu Chenglong was only returning to handle personal affairs.
The War God Temple's duty was to safeguard Chigoris.
And the Dragon Emperor posed no threat to Chigoris!
With that in mind.
They saw no reason to antagonize him.
Moreover, if the opportunity arose, they would seek to forge a good relationship with the Dragon Emperor!
Ultimately, the War God Temple and Chu Chenglong made arrangements to host a banquet in his honor in the coming days to welcome him back.
Chu Chenglong was unfazed by the situation.
What truly mattered to him was meeting Uncle Chen Jun!
Chen Jun was on edge, filled with anxiety.
There had been an incident at the airport, and Chu Chenglong was still on the plane!
What if something happened to Chu Chenglong? How would it affect him?
Just then, Chu Chenglong appeared in the distance, jogging towards them.
"Uncle Chen, I'm here!"
Before arriving, Chu Chenglong had thoroughly researched all available information on Chen Jun.
He was also well-acquainted with the current makeup of his family.
So he recognized them immediately.
"Are you Chu Chenglong? Haha, look at you, all grown up. It hasn't been easy!"
Years had passed, and Chen Jun could barely recognize Chu Chenglong.
If it weren't for the boy's striking resemblance to his father,
He wouldn't have recognized him at all!
"Hahaha, good lad. Let's head home, have a few drinks with your uncle, and catch up properly!"
Chen Jun then introduced Chu Chenglong to his family members.
Chen Miaomiao was utterly disinterested throughout.
She showed no curiosity about Chu Chenglong whatsoever!
Lee Moxue, for her part, merely shook hands with Chen Jun as a formality.
After the handshake, she conspicuously wiped her hands with a delicate handkerchief in front of Chu Chenglong,
As if she found his hands dirty.
Chen Jun, meanwhile, was ecstatic as he ushered Chu Chenglong into the car.
"Hold on, who said you could sit in the back?"
Chu Chenglong was about to take a seat in the back when Chen Miaomiao stopped him with a look of disdain.
"The backseat is reserved for my mother and me. You sit in the front passenger seat!"
By this time, Lee Moxue had already settled into the backseat through the other door and said with a frown, "Remember not to fiddle with anything when you're in the front passenger seat. My personal items are there!"
Chu Chenglong didn't mind where he sat and took the front passenger seat without any fuss.
He and Uncle Chen Jun chatted and laughed all the way.
Despite the years apart, their bond had not weakened.
In fact, their reunion only deepened their affection.
Uncle Chen Jun drove into the largest villa complex in Istripgan and led Chu Chenglong inside his home.
Mr. Chen Jun first instructed the household staff to start preparing the meal, and the family gathered in the living room. He then inquired about the day's events at the airport. Given that Chu Chenglong had just come from there, he might have some insight into what had transpired.
Lee Moxue and Chen Miaomiao, who were sipping water, leaned in with curiosity. "Oh, that," Chu Chenglong began, still holding his glass, "the five War Gods initially tried to prevent me from entering the country..." He continued, "But they feared they couldn't beat me, so they stepped aside, even offering to take me out for a meal."
"Pfft!" The sound of water being spat out echoed twice in quick succession.
"You?" Lee Moxue and Chen Miaomiao looked incredulous.
"You don't even prepare a rough draft before you start bragging?" Lee Moxue scoffed. "Do you even realize who you are? Thinking you're important enough for the five War Gods to personally stop you?"
After her remarks, Lee Moxue couldn't even bring herself to glance at Chu Chenglong again. She had resolved from the outset to limit her interactions with him and was looking for the first chance to send him packing. He was, after all, nothing more than an outsider. She had no intention of letting him freeload off her family indefinitely.
Nor would she stand by and watch Chen Jun marry her beloved daughter off to him. She had already covertly set up a meeting with an up-and-coming War God. Her plan was to arrange a blind date for her daughter with this distinguished figure.
In her eyes, Chu Chenglong wasn't even fit to carry a War God's shoes. She had it all planned out: she would bring Chu Chenglong along to the blind date. She wanted him to witness firsthand the vast gulf between himself and a true War God—the difference between the heavens and the earth. Then she would see if he still had the audacity to make light of the War Gods.
