Chapter prologue . Part 2 : brother's conflict
…………
-In the main hall of the Mayor’s mansion-
A middle aged man paced back and forth with an anxious look on his face. The man, wearing loose silk clothes, was muscular and 7 feet tall.
He was the mayor of Fragrant Sky city, Jiang Zhen Hai!
“Don’t worry, dad, I’m sure they will find Jiang Chen.”
Beside the mayor stood a good looking young man in white clothes. It looked like he was 17-18 years old, and at first glance anyone would know he was no ordinary person. A look of grief could be seen on his face, but internally, he was happy.
“This spoiled kid will never let me have peace of mind. If he had half of your ability, I would be laughing in my dreams.”
Jiang Zhen Hai said helplessly.
“Young master is back!”
A guard came in, his face filled with excitement.
‘What!’
Jiang Ru Long almost shouted out loud; the expression on his face changed dramatically.
“He is back?”
Jiang Zhen Hai felt relieved and shouted immediately, “Ask him to come here right now!”
Sensing that the Mayor was going to lose his temper, the guard carefully said, “Mayor, young master said he was tired, so he went to his room in order to rest. He will greet you tomorrow.”
“What the?! Where’s the manners of this kid?”
Jiang Zhen Hai stared at the guard as he spoke.
“Dad, maybe Jiang Chen is really tired. Furthermore, tomorrow will be the marriage engagement day with the Mu Rong family, just let him rest.”
Jiang Ru Long told his foster father.
“Ru Long, don’t always side with him. This little bastard has become more and more disobedient.”
Jiang Zhen Hai said angrily.
“Don’t get mad, dad, let me talk to him.”
Jiang Ru Long said.
“That’s better. Find someone to monitor him, and don’t let him walk out of his room. I don’t want anything bad to happen at tomorrow’s marriage engagement event.”
Jiang Zhen Hai said angrily but guard didn't finish his words as he said " Mayor , young master has brought someone with him "
"What ?"
Both Jiang Zhen Hai and Jiang Ru Long were surprise by this information.
" Who did he bring with him ?" Jiang Zhen Hai asked while he slightly narrowed his eyes .
"A young boy that seem to be same age as our young master. And his name is Kong Sheng " the guard hurriedly answered.
"Kong Sheng " Jiang Zhen Hai murmured before he asked the guard to leave. He thought that since both are in the same age , they must be friends . So he let this go for now .
…..
The Mayor’s mansion occupied a huge area. So it was only natural that Jiang Chen also possessed his own large mansion.
Standing in his yard with both hands behind his back and the moonlight shining down upon him, he stood there waiting for someone he knew. He knew that person would come to him.
Outside the door to his mansion, a figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Jiang Ru Long. When he saw Jiang Chen standing unharmed in his yard, a cruel look emerged on his face.
“Useless peasants, how dare they let this bastard come back alive?”
With a frown on his face, Jiang Ru Long’s face shifted to a more normal one as he walked into Jiang Chen’s mansion.
….
Sitting inside the room , Kong Sheng was cultivating. His whole body was surrounded by Heaven and Earth Energies while he was absorbing them . Those Heaven and Earth Energies were being converted into a Law . And those Laws were turning into Primordial Chaos Energy before getting absorbed by Kong Sheng . His Fate Palace was rotating behind his head. He only has 1 Fate Palace right now but still , he was emitting the power of 3 Fate Palaces.
Moving his right arm , he stretched it forward before he grabbed the empty air tightly.
"Boom" a huge Boom was heard from his clench. Huge air pressure shot out from his grab before he smiled slightly and said " 12 Immortal Physique Cultivation Art , 1st Stage ; Natural Phenomenon " he nodded his head.
Actually as you all have guessed already , yes , Kong Sheng doesn't belongs to this world and is from another world . He has been transmigratted into another world and that world is , world of novel— Dragon Marked War God !!

"Not that far from reaching 2nd Stage ; Walking Disaster " Kong Sheng was about to continue his cultivation but before that he heard some "Emotional" conversation outside .
Walking out of the room , he saw two brothers having a conversation with his emotionless eyes .
….
“My brother, where have you been for the last 3 days? Don’t you know how much I have been worrying?”
Jiang Ru Long said with a worrisome tone and a hint of ‘happiness’ from being able to see his brother again.
“Brother.”
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen jumped towards his brother, hugging him and saying, “Brother, you almost lost your younger brother for good!”
Pretending to be sad, Jiang Chen’s tears dripped all over Jiang Ru Long’s shoulder. A frown emerged on Jiang Chen’s face as he hugged Jiang Ru Long.
“What happened, my brother? Who dares to bully you? Tell me, I will take revenge for you!” Replied Jiang Ru Long.
“It’s the two peasants, Yang Yong and Yang Shuang, they wanted to kill me.”
Jiang Chen said angrily as he moved his head away from Jiang Ru Long’s shoulder.
Feeling shocked when he heard the name of the Yang’s brother, yet with an indifferent face, Jiang Ru Long said, “What? How dare they do this to you? I will not let them go easily!”
“Brother, they are dead now.”
While speaking with an angry voice, Jiang Chen kept looking at Jiang Ru Long’s facial expression, trying to discover his true colors. But Jiang Ru Long was good at hiding his feelings. Being the greatest Saint, however, Jiang Chen had eagle eyes. He could notice the smallest of changes on Jiang Ru Long’s face.
“They are dead? Both of them were at the 6th level of the Qi Jing realm. How did you kill them?”
Jiang Ru Long asked suspiciously, eagerly awaiting a response.
“Don’t joke around, brother. I am a dumb cultivator, and I am barely at the first level of the Qi Jing Realm! I am no match for the Yang brothers, but thank god there was a skilled person at the 8th level of the Qi Jing realm who helped me kill the Yang brothers! Too bad this benefactor did not want any rewards. He left right after killing the Yang brothers… I don’t even know his name, such a pity.”
Jiang Chen said with relief and regret.
‘Fuck, what luck he has.’
Swearing in his mind, he had no doubts about what Jiang Chen said because only this could explain how Jiang Chen was able to return unharmed.
At the same time, Jiang Ru Long felt relief too. The Yang brothers were dead, so no one would know his secret now. There would be plenty of opportunities to kill Jiang Chen in the future.
“It’s not a bad thing that they are dead now. Most importantly, you’ve come back unharmed! If you didn’t, I would’ve spent the rest of my life regretting not being able to protect you!”
The concerned look on Jiang Ru Long’s face made Jiang Chen feel like throwing up.
“My brother is the best!”
Jiang Chen pretended to be thankful towards this ‘brother.’
“Don’t say that, we are brothers. Tomorrow will be the marriage engagement day with the Mu Rong family. You have to be prepared, my brother. For you, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you can marry the Mu Rong family’s daughter, you will have done a good deed for our family!”
Jiang Ru Long exclaimed as he placed his hand on Jiang Chen’s shoulder. There were two big families in Fragrant Sky city: one was the Mayor’s family and the other one was the Mu Rong family. The Mu Rong family was a huge power in the business industry, and the relationship between the two families was not particularly great. There was a lot of competition between them. If they could somehow marry into each other, then their relationship would naturally improve, reaping huge benefits for both sides.
“Marry their daughter? Count me out.”
Jiang Chen shook his head and said firmly.
“Brother, it’s not up to you to decide. Father has prepared a lot for this marriage, you can’t ruin all of it now.”
Jiang Ru Long was trying to persuade Jiang Chen.
“I’m serious, I don’t even know what the Mu Rong family’s daughter looks like. What a joke if you ask me to marry her. And I am still young. If you all want a marriage between two families, I think you will be the best candidate. You are Mayor family’s son, too, and you are older than me. I can’t get married before you, my brother, no way! I won’t do it, do it yourself if you want.”
Jiang Chen was very firm with his decision.
After listening to Jiang Chen’s explanation, Jiang Ru Long felt for the first time that this ‘brother’ of his was doing something useful for once. Especially since his true motive was to kill Jiang Chen so that he could marry the daughter of the Mu Rong family, raising his own status in both families!

Watching their "Emotional" conversation , Kong Sheng didn't even flinch so he turned back and continued his Cultivation.
……
Next Day
It was early in the morning and when the sunlight past through the windows and reached Jiang Chen that was sleeping , he smiled before he began to wake up and get ready for his " Engagement Ceremony ".
"Today is such a nice day " he couldn't help but giggle just thinking how he will make Jiang Ru Long suffer .
But when he was about to leave the room , he saw Kong Sheng still cultivating while sitting on a mat .
"What a wired person , he hasn't even talked a bit since last time after he said his name " Jiang Chen didn't bother him and went to get prepare himself for today's ceremony.
After Jiang Chen left , Kong Sheng kept on cultivating. After an hours later , he opened his eyes before he breathed softly " it seem without a challenge , I will not be advancing in another stage . Since 2nd Stage is called Walking Disaster , do I have to create a disaster before achieving 2nd Stage ?"
Thinking for a while , he was still lost . But never mind he stood up and walked out to search for Jiang Chen . But he only saw were decorations all over the Mayor's Mansion. The people there were laughing and smiling with full of happiness.
"Hm…what's going on here ?" Since he wasn't a fan of Dragon Marked War God novel , he didn't had any idea what was going on ? He just knows that this man name Jiang Chen is the leading character because of strange Aura he felt from him . An Aura of luck , faithful destiny , fortune and the legendary Plot Armour.
"Where did he go ?" He was about to search for Jiang Chen and that was the time when he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Friend Kong Sheng "
Turning back , Kong Sheng saw Jiang Ru Long standing there with a smile. Kong Sheng didn't said anything and just stood there.
Approaching near Kong Sheng , Jiang Ru Long said " friend Kong Sheng , nice to meet you . I am Jiang Ru Long , brother of Jiang Chen " but to his greeting , only silence was greeted.
Watching Kong Sheng's emotionless expression , Jiang Ru Long's face twisted but soon it returned to normal before he said " I heard that you are a friend of Jiang Chen ? So I also wanted to get acquainted with you so.." he kept on talking while Kong Sheng just kept on listening before Kong Sheng opened his mouth and said him in an emotionless voice "a soon to be dead man doesn't needs to know anyone new before he dies " with that Kong Sheng left the speechless Jiang Ru Long .
Jiang Ru Long was speechless at first but slowly , his face turned red from sheer anger and frustration.
What did that bitch said to me ? You just wait , after this ceremony is over , I shall personally find you and kill you .
