What a surprise to him, as time passed, Shen Tong remained inactive.
Instead of immediately leading his troops to attack the Demon Dragon Palace, he remained completely silent. This unusual restraint intensified Long Yuan’s anxiety. He vaguely felt that Shen Tong was planning an even more sinister conspiracy.
Just as Long Yuan was pensive, repeatedly trying to comprehend the intent of the divine power, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the hall, accompanied by panicked screams, breaking the tense silence within.
“Report-!”
A dragon scout, wearing black scout armor and covered in dust and faint bloodstains, rushed into the hall despite the guards trying to stop him. He ran all the way to the center of the hall, where he knelt down on one knee with a thud, his armor hitting the ground with a dull sound.
He lowered his head, his chest rising and falling violently, it was obvious he had run all the way here. His voice was filled with an almost unconcealed sense of haste and fear: “Reporting to leader, something terrible has happened! The entire temple army has come out, not towards my Demonic Dragon Palace, but straight towards Cloud Immortal City!”
The temple leader, Shen Tong, personally led the army, which included at least a thousand elite temple warriors, more than ten of whom were True Immortal Realm experts. The army had arrived outside Yunxian City and engaged in a bloody battle with the Heavenly Dragon Clan stationed there; the battle was very fierce!
“What?!”
Long Yuan suddenly stood up from his seat, his dragon aura suddenly bursting out. The armrests of his chair cracked due to the force he exerted. Extreme shock flashed in his eyes, and his pupils narrowed slightly. Obviously, this news was completely beyond his expectations.
Instead of taking revenge at the Demon Dragon Palace, Shen Tong led his entire main force straight to the Cloud Immortal City.
He stood there, stunned, his mind racing. After a while, the shock in his eyes faded, replaced by a look of realization. Then, a cold and mocking smile appeared on his lips: “What a supernatural power. It can withstand what ordinary people cannot bear.”
Instead of seeking revenge for the murder of their own family, they went to Yunxian City first, planning to capture David alive, seize the opportunity at hand, and increase their strength to the fullest. Once their combat strength increases greatly, they will then come to settle matters with our Dragon Demon lineage. What a clever plan!
He waved his hand, his tone indifferent as he signaled the scouts to leave: “Understood. Go back and continue gathering information. Report back immediately if there are any new developments.”
“Good!” The scout respectfully accepted the order, stood up, and immediately left the main hall.
Without any further hesitation, Long Yuan turned around and strode hastily towards the back hall. He knew that he had to immediately inform Senior Ning Zhi about this matter.
All decisions of the Demon Dragon lineage now depended on Ning Zhi’s wishes. That seemingly young Elder possessed extraordinary strength and was the greatest mainstay of the Demonic Dragon bloodline.
The scene in the rear hall’s courtyard was very different from the gloomy atmosphere of the front hall, but it also exuded a sinister aura unique to the Demon Realm.
In the middle of the courtyard, there were several Blood Spirit Trees that only grew in the Demon Realm. The branches and leaves are dark red. As the wind blew, the leaves rustled and some dark red petals fell onto the bluestone ground.
Above the courtyard hung the Demon Realm’s dark red demonic sun, its faint light covering the entire courtyard in a dark red hue.
Ning Zhi stood with her hands behind her back in the middle of the yard, her posture straight as a pine tree. His black clothes fluttered gently in the wind. He raised his head to look at the terrifying sun in the sky, his eyes as deep as a cold pool. His aura was indifferent, as if he had merged with this world. Nothing in this world can enter his heart.
Sonya stood quietly beside him, wearing a purple robe that fluttered in the wind. Her black hair swayed gently in the wind, and her face was cold and beautiful, like a celestial being that had transcended the world. He seemed incompatible with the demonic energy around him, but he stood shoulder to shoulder with Ning Zhi, appearing so harmonious.
“senior.”
Long Yuan stepped into the courtyard, his steps not daring to be too hasty or disturb anyone. He stopped a few steps behind Ning Zhi, bowed, and spoke in a respectful tone, but also with a hint of urgency: “I have just received news from the scouts on the frontlines that the Temple Master, Shen Tong, is leading the entire elite Temple army in a large-scale attack on Yunxian City.”
Having launched a full-scale war against the Heavenly Dragon Clan, their goal was clear: capture David alive while he was in seclusion and seize the opportunity at his disposal.
Hearing that, Ning Zhi’s originally indifferent eyes suddenly flashed a sharp light. In that light, there was anticipation after a long wait, the chill of facing a powerful enemy, and the indescribable joy of finally achieving his goal after a long silence.
