Chapter 5370 of the Dragon King Order: Blindness
“Since we’ve already fought, I’ll convince you wholeheartedly.”
David finished speaking, and the dragon crystal on his chest began to shimmer. Golden light erupted, and soon, behind David, a phantom golden dragon slowly solidified.
“Roar…”
The dragon’s roar shook everyone present, and many of the weaker imperial guards fell to the ground.
Staring at the gradually solidifying golden dragon, Ao Lie was dumbfounded.
His dragon bloodline, which he had always been proud of, now seemed like a joke before David.
Not only did David possess the dragon bloodline, but he was also the most noble golden dragon.
Ao Lie prostrated himself before David, his eyes filled with resignation. “I surrender! I am willing to follow Master Chen’s instructions…”
This time, Ao Lie’s resignation was sincere.
Even Zi Yuan, who was staring at David’s golden dragon shadow, was stunned, her mouth wide open, speechless for a long time.
In the martial arts arena, the golden dragon shadow circled in the sky, its roar reverberating through the air, its impact sweeping across the area.
The imperial guards who had previously mocked David now fell to the ground, trembling all over, their eyes filled with deep awe.
Ao Lie lay on the black ironstone floor, his cyan dragon scales dull, his shattered wings drooping helplessly. As he gazed at the shining silhouette of the golden dragon, the last vestiges of hatred in his heart vanished.
As a half-dragon, he knew firsthand the dignity and power of the golden dragon bloodline. This pressure, emanating from the depths of his veins, made him dare not raise his head.
“Master Chen… Ao Lie was blind, and I have offended your dignity. I apologize!”
Ao Lie’s voice was hoarse, his forehead pressed to the ground, his tone filled with resignation.
David waved his hand, and the light of the dragon crystal on his chest dimmed. The shadow of the golden dragon slowly disappeared, and the pressure in the martial arts arena subsided.
He approached Ao Lie and said calmly: “The Divine Kingdom and I have established a cooperative relationship, with no intention of humiliating anyone. But if you continue to underestimate us, how can we work together to face the future Demon Soul crisis?”
“Ao Lie understands!” Ao Lie suddenly looked up, his gaze no longer arrogant, only determined. “From now on, if Lord Chen orders me to do anything, Ao Lie will die! The Imperial Guards will obey Lord Chen’s orders!”
The surrounding Imperial Guards echoed, shouting “By Lord Chen’s orders” in unison, their voices resounding and echoing throughout the martial arts arena.
Zi Yuan stepped forward, looking at David with undisguised amazement: “Fellow Daoist Chen is so hidden, yet he possesses the Golden Dragon bloodline. No wonder he is so powerful.”
David smiled but said nothing more.
He knew full well that the revelation of the Golden Dragon bloodline would be far more shocking to the Divine Nation than a single victory.
In a world where strength and bloodline were paramount, a noble bloodline often signified a deeper foundation and greater potential. This would strengthen his partnership with the Divine Nation and reduce the obstacles to further investigations into the Thunder Sound Bell.
News of the martial arts arena spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the Divine Capital within half a day.
“Have you heard? A formidable man has appeared in the martial arts arena! A First-Rank Earth Immortal defeated Commander Ao Lie and even manifested the phantom of a golden dragon!”
“Golden Dragon Bloodline? That’s a legendary top-tier bloodline! No wonder Commander Ao was so defeated. If it were me, I wouldn’t even have the courage to fight him.”
“I heard his name is David, an honored guest personally invited by the King. He wants to collaborate with our Divine Nation to investigate the Thunder Sound Bell!”
“With the help of a powerful being with the Golden Dragon bloodline, perhaps we can retrieve the Thunder Sound Bell and prevent that evil spirit from appearing!”
In teahouses, taverns, and on the streets, talk of David was rife.
The oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped the Divine Capital following the theft of the Thunder Sound Bell was now filled with hope with David’s appearance.
Even the nobles of the Divine Kingdom sought information about David, hoping to befriend this powerful being of the Golden Dragon lineage.
