Chapter 6159 I’ll Call Someone
David waved his hand, interrupting Ming Li’s flattery and Liu Qianqian’s praise.
His gaze fell on Chen Wanqing, and his tone became more serious:
“Alright, that’s enough. How’s the teleportation array I asked you to set up? Are you ready? We need to get to the Holy Land of Light soon.”
Chen Wanqing finally came to her senses and quickly suppressed her shock and amazement, her expression turning serious.
She bit her lip, a hint of difficulty flashing across her face, and said softly, “I’ve already contacted the teleportation array guard in the Eternal Cloud City, and he’s agreed to let us use it. However…”
He paused for a moment, a hint of guilt in his voice, then lowered his head.
David frowned slightly:
“But what? Is there any difficulty?”
Chen Wanqing took a deep breath, looked at David, her eyes filled with guilt and helplessness, and then said softly, “David, I’m sorry, I… I failed to complete the task you gave me. Yunxian City… is not very stable right now.”
“After the Chen family was destroyed, several forces in the city began to stir, all of them wanting to seize control of Yunxian City.”
At first they promised me I could use the teleportation device, but now they refuse, even if I offer them the elixir of immortality.
He paused for a moment, then continued:
“Although I’ve tried my best to regather the Chen family’s former power and stabilize the situation in Yunxian City, those forces simply don’t take me seriously. I’m no match for them. I can only maintain the remaining power of the Chen family, and I can’t possibly control all of Yunxian City.”
After saying that, Chen Wanqing’s eyes reddened slightly, and she lowered her head again, her heart filled with guilt.
He felt he had let David down.
He failed to complete the task David gave him, failed to protect the Chen family inheritance, and failed to return Yunxian City to its former peace.
Chen looked at him quietly without saying a word.
He could understand the difficulties Chen Wanqing was going through.
How easy is it for an orphaned girl to regroup her followers and take control of a city after the destruction of her family?
The powers in Yunxian City were closely intertwined. When the Wu and Chen families were in power, all these powers were dormant.
But now that the Wu and Chen families are finished, and the temple is too far to reach, the powers that have been hidden for so long are beginning to emerge.
Chen Wanqing’s cultivation level was only at the eighth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm, and he didn’t have much of the Chen family’s power left around him, so he was completely incapable of fighting against those forces.
It is quite an achievement that he managed to survive until now, gather some of the old Chen family members, and preserve the remaining power of the Chen family.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have given up long ago.
They had to seek protection from other forces or escape from Yunxian City secretly.
After a while, David slowly spoke.
Her tone was calm, without a hint of blame, but rather a hint of comfort: “Don’t blame yourself. You did your best. Others might not be able to do what you did.”
“The Chen family was destroyed, and you survived, managed to gather your old followers back, and survived until now—that is already an incredible achievement.”
“The situation in Yunxian City is too complicated. Those forces have powerful backers, so it’s natural that you can’t face them.”
Hearing David’s words of comfort, Chen Wanqing’s eyes filled with tears.
He looked up at David, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Lately, she has been under too much pressure and too many complaints.
No one understood him, no one comforted him.
In that instant, David’s words took away most of the complaints and stress in his heart.
David turned and looked into the distance, towards Tianlong Valley.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke in a firm tone: “I will go to Tianlong Valley.”
Ming Li and Liu Qianqian exchanged glances, their faces showing no surprise.
They all knew David’s status in Tianlong Valley: he had the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline, and all dragons submitted to him.
Long Zhan, the elder of the Tianlong bloodline, deeply respected David and listened to his every word.
The entire Tianlong Valley followed David’s leadership.
Ming Li scratched his head and asked:
“Master Chen, are you going to Tianlong Valley to… bring the dragons out of the mountains?”
Liu Qianqian also looked at David thoughtfully.
David nodded, a faint smile on his lips: “That’s right. The waters of Yunxian City need a true dragon to control them. Since the Dragon Clan recognizes me as their Dragon Emperor, it’s about time they showed up.”
He paused for a moment, his tone calm yet carrying an air of undeniable authority: “Let them know that this city has an owner.”
After saying that, David no longer hesitated. He moved and turned into a golden beam of light, shooting towards Tianlong Valley.
Ming Li and Liu Qianqian quickly followed.
The three figures disappeared once again into the sky above Yunxian City.
Standing on the city wall, Chen Wanqing watched the figures of David and the other two leaving, his eyes filled with determination.
He secretly determined to protect the Chen family’s old power and defend Yunxian City.
When David comes back, I won’t let him down.
