"Elder Long, this is my Star Luo Empire, you must not act recklessly."
Holy Dragon Douluo sensed something was wrong with Long Yeyue's aura. He had long been worried that this old woman would do something Heaven-Defying, so he spoke up to dissuade her.
Long Yeyue suddenly turned her head and roared in a dry voice, "Shrek's students can lose fair and square, but we will never tolerate an ambiguous shady deal!"
"A rank fifty-eight Spirit King was knocked down by a single palm from a rank forty-one Spirit Ancestor. If this isn't cheating, what is!"
The pressure of spirit power bores down on him. Holy Dragon Douluo's body shook, his eyes widening as he said in shock, "Do you really want to fight here? Do you not care about your image anymore!"
Helping you with the rigged drawing was bad enough; how do you have the face to act out after losing the match?
What a nightmare. How could the Master of the Sea Gods Pavilion allow such a bastard to come out and cause trouble?
Dai Tianling's forehead was beaded with sweat. He hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Elder Long, please calm down. We will definitely provide an explanation for this matter later. You must not act recklessly now."
Long Yeyue swept a cold gauze over Dai Tianling. Ultimately, she gave the Star Luo Sovereign some face, snorted, and vanished into the air.
"Phew~"
Dai Tianling and Holy Dragon Douluo let out heavy sighs of relief, their backs drenched in sweat.
"Is this old woman crazy?"
As the host announced the match results, Dai Tianling took deep breaths in anger. How had a lunatic like Long Yeyue not been beaten to death yet?
Holy Dragon Douluo wiped his sweat and whispered, "Last night, I investigated the grievances between Feng Zaixing and Shrek. He was originally a hot-blooded youth hunting Evil Soul Masters, but he was repeatedly troubled by Shrek. After winning a match, he was even attacked by a Shrek Elder—"
"In matters like this, Shrek is quite consistent. I don't know if the entire Sea Gods Pavilion is like this, or if it's just these two old hags."
Dai Tianling's mouth twitched violently. "No wonder Feng Zaixing hates Shrek so much—"
Last night, he thought Feng Zaixing's attitude toward Shrek was a bit extreme, but now it seemed perfectly justified.
If everyone in Shrek was like this, who could bear it?
Holy Dragon Douluo said bitterly, "In the past, I didn't understand why the Federation pushed Shrek toward us. Now I understand a bit; I'm afraid they had the intention of throwing away trash."
Dai Tianling's brow throbbed. The dignified Star Luo Empire had become a garbage dump; it was truly embarrassing.
Fortunately, the people from Shrek did have strength; otherwise, wouldn't he be choked with anger?
The Star Luo sovereign and official shared a headache, but the individual matches still had to proceed.
"Wulin, congratulations on your victory!"
Xie Xie ran out and gave the victorious Tang Wulin a hug.
Tang Wulin scratched his head. "It was alright. I just got lucky this time."
Yang Nianxia asked curiously, "What ability did you use that actually made Long Yeshen go soft instantly?"
Tang Wulin shook his head. "It seems to be a Bloodline ability. I only recently discovered I had it."
Yang Nianxia guessed, "You have a trace of pure Golden Dragon Bloodline. Could it be the Golden Dragon Claw? But does the Golden Dragon have such a strong suppression over the Dark Holy Dragon?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Long Yeshen's loss was unfair; his state was clearly a case of his Spirit suffering from Bloodline suppression.
This situation often occurred in battles involving Dragon-type Spirits. Frequently, the outcome could be decided just by comparing Bloodline intensity when the Spirits were summoned. However, the Dark Holy Dragon had always been the one suppressing other Dragon Spirits.
Today's luck was poor, and he was suppressed instead; otherwise, he would never have lost so miserably.
"What a unique Dragon Clan Bloodline. Is the Star Luo Empire that good at nurturing people?"
Feng Zaixing spoke with deep meaning, looking at Gu Yue and Naer. He sent a mental transmission, "The Dragon King Long Yue possesses the Mountain Dragon Spirit. This Spirit has never appeared in history. According to the data I've checked here, the Tang Sect controls a Small World related to the Dragon Clan."
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes immediately lit up with interest. She quickly asked, "What Small World?"
All Mountain Dragons are kings; they are the heads of the nine great dragon kings who do not walk the world. Their Bloodline is on par with Di Tian's. Logically, it should never appear in a human.
She had a faint sensation. Could the place where the Dragon God and the Dragon Clan fell be nearby?
Feng Zaixing shook his head slightly. "I don't know that, but the Tang Sect does. Are you interested in making a move ahead of time?"
Naer asked with a smile, "How should we make a move? Just charge in?"
Feng Zaixing rolled his eyes. Ignoring Naer's protesting gaze, he rubbed the silver hair on her forehead and said, "Startling the snake is not advisable. The Star Luo Tang Sect has a Titled Douluo with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit. We'll capture him and confirm the information."
"After finding the Small World, we'll let Di Tian and the others open it, and we'll go in and take a look."
"Good idea. I'll notify Di Tian and the others immediately." Gu Yue was very satisfied. Feng Zaixing had done his homework. She felt as if the Opportunity left by the Dragon God was beckoning to her.
Naer, having her hair ruffled, pouted and said, "I want to go too. You must bring me along for something this fun."
Gu Yue glanced sideways and smiled. "Aren't you registered for the individual and doubles matches? Why would you go? Just stay here."
Naer's face immediately fell. Then she said very firmly, "How can a small competition compare to an adventure?"
"I'll withdraw! Withdraw—"
"Withdrawing from the competition is indeed not good. It might arouse suspicion from certain people."
Feng Zaixing interrupted her, his gaze deep. "There are many people watching us now. Star Luo City is a powder keg that could explode at any moment. A single spark will set it off."
There was still no precise information on the timing of the assassination, which was a source of worry for him. The most troublesome thing would be if one faction acted alone and started it, and the other factions followed suit.
Although his deployment was not afraid of assassinations, the mobility of his personnel required a certain amount of time.
Naer lowered her head in disappointment. "Alright, but remember to come back early."
Feng Zaixing smiled to comfort his silver-haired Junior Sister. Then he gave a series of instructions to Yuanen Yehui, requiring the entire Body Sect to be of one mind and prepare for the upcoming battle.
Night came.
Two people in night-suits and Han Tianyi used their mental force to hide their figures and slipped into the Star Luo Tang Sect's base.
In a certain valley, the three found the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Titled Douluo Elder. Feng Zaixing threw a punch, Han Tianyi used his mind, and Gu Yue released an elemental storm to take him down.
"Your mental force is quite good, Gu Yue. You've already adapted to the Spirit Abyss Realm?" Han Tianyi discovered that Gu Yue's mental force and combat prowess were both extraordinary, not as simple as someone who had just entered the Spirit Abyss Realm.
"It's alright. Let's hurry with the interrogation." Gu Yue put away her hand-crafted elemental staff and said nonchalantly.
"Alright, leave the rest to me!" Han Tianyi revealed a confident smile and began questioning the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Titled Douluo.
Actually, there wasn't much to interrogate. The area near the valley they were in was the Dragon Valley Small World, but it could only be opened by the Tang Sect at fixed intervals.
Since the time hadn't come, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Elder was also powerless.
Feng Zaixing also asked about the assassination intelligence. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Elder didn't know the person was Feng Zaixing and honestly confessed everything, stating he knew nothing.
Having obtained the information, Han Tianyi knocked the other party out, used illusions to change his memories of tonight, cleaned up the injuries, and discarded him.
"Zaixing, what now? Are you going to call for experts to open that Small World?" Han Tianyi looked at Feng Zaixing.
Feng Zaixing shook his head and pointed at Gu Yue. "You and the group of experts from her Ancient Dragon Gate can work together."
Several question marks appeared on Han Tianyi's forehead. Ancient Dragon Gate? A group of experts? What level of players were they?
Gu Yue smiled shyly and waved her delicate hand. Space distorted, and six figures descended from the sky—four men and two women.
The leader was tall with black hair reaching his feet. His eyes were a rare golden color, naturally exuding majesty.
Han Tianyi's eyes jumped. A Limit Douluo-level expert?
As his gaze swept over them, Han Tianyi unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
One man was incredibly burly with a bald head and a face full of scars; the man beside him had dry skin like a withered tree branch, but his eyes flickered with a ghostly green light, full of eerie energy.
The last man was entirely red, practically wearing the fact that he was fire-attributed on his sleeve.
Han Tianyi looked at this group of people and suddenly felt they were somewhat familiar, as if they were recorded in some ancient books in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda—
He looked at the last two women with some terror. Both were beauties; one had black hair and a black dress, with eerie purple eyes and an extremely hot figure.
The other woman wore a water-green long dress, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle expression. One look at her easily gave a sense of affinity.
Han Tianyi didn't feel any affinity; his back felt a bit cold. These... these people and the Star Dou Vicious Beasts recorded in the books didn't just look similar; they were practically identical.
Di Tian grinned and smiled, "An expert from the Spirit Transfer Pagoda?"
Han Tianyi nodded, then hurriedly shook his head, his old face twisting into a strained smile. "I'm from the Body Sect, not the Spirit Transfer Pagoda—"
"Oh." Di Tian responded casually, not caring. He smiled, "My Spirit is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. Don't be a stranger."
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Han Tianyi's reaction. He leaped into the air, manifesting his Martial Soul True Body. Pitch-black, scale-covered dragon claws immediately tore black marks into the sky, which rapidly expanded.
The five great experts raised their hands, injecting ten streaks of soul light to stabilize the spatial rift.
Han Tianyi gave a silly smile and released his mental force, which was as deep as the sea, to help stabilize the spatial crack.
Spirit: Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—Yeah, not a stranger. He really wasn't a stranger at all.
Feng Zaixing sent a mental transmission to Han Tianyi, "Don't worry, they don't eat people."
Then he soared into the air to catch up with Gu Yue, who had impatiently rushed inside.
Han Tianyi was instantly drenched in sweat. The only thing that gave him comfort was that all six great experts were currently busy maintaining the spatial crack and probably didn't have time to trouble him.
What a nightmare! The six great Vicious Beasts have collectively left their enclosure. What are those useless people responsible for guarding the Star Dou core area doing?
Leaping into the spatial crack, the light and shadow shifted. Feng Zaixing felt a strong sense of spatial distortion, followed by a feeling of weightlessness.
When his vision stabilized, he found himself in free fall. He quickly controlled his body and landed safely.
Gu Yue also landed nearby. Her red-tinged eyes quickly filled with sadness, pain, resentment, and other emotions.
Various types of Dragon Clouds floated around. Feng Zaixing wasn't very interested; he patted Gu Yue's shoulder to remind her of the situation.
"We don't have much time. If you know the way, hurry up and lead."
Gu Yue's emotional buildup was interrupted. She immediately gave him a resentful look and said, "The Dragon Clan perished because of human gods. Why should this King—I—bring you to the Dragon Clan Holy Land?"
Feng Zaixing made a pause gesture and said leisurely, "Who did you learn your history from? Di Tian?"
Gu Yue frowned. "What do you mean?"
Feng Zaixing said seriously, "According to the information I got from the first generation Angel God, the Dragon Clan's destruction was because the Dragon God went crazy. He first killed more than half of the Divine Beasts and God Kings himself. Of the nine great dragon kings, only the Light Dragon King, the Dark Dragon King—who were Di Tian's parents—and a Water Dragon King were left."
Gu Yue blinked. "Continue."
What was going on? What he was saying seemed different from what she knew?
"The Dragon God woke up and wanted to commit suicide. Then the Light Dragon King first killed the Water Dragon King, who was deep in grief, and then died along with the Dark Dragon King before the Dragon God, which is to say, they committed suicide."
Feng Zaixing said with a speechless expression, "Later, the Dragon God himself let the Asura God cut him apart. The remaining Dragon Clan arrived late, got hot-headed, and fought with the human Divinities. The result is what you see now."
"As for this responsibility—I suggest looking within the Dragon Clan first. Think about whether it's your own problem."
Gu Yue was shocked upon hearing this but quickly found a flaw. "No! You're lying to me! The Dragon God was wise and divine; how could he suddenly go crazy? It must have been the human gods' guidance!"
Feng Zaixing said calmly, "It's said that a rebellion first occurred within the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Crown Prince was lost in the rebellion. The Dragon God himself wanted to die to find his long-dead wife, and things ended up like this."
"The Light and Dark Dragon Kings, the strongest among the nine great dragon kings, were so absurd. Why would you have the ridiculous idea that the Dragon God possessed any intelligence?"
