Protected by several loyal elders, Shen Tong desperately fled into the distance. The golden battleship full of damage turned around in panic and left Yunxian City at all costs.
He turned his head back to once again look towards Yunxian City, his gaze falling on Ning Zhi. His eyes were filled with hatred, fear, and unwillingness, but he dared not tarry any longer and roared, “Retreat! Retreat now!”
Seeing this, Long Yuan was about to lead the demon dragon army to exploit their advantage and completely eliminate Shen Tong to eliminate future troubles, but Ning Zhi gently stopped him with a raise of a hand.
“No need to chase them.”
Ning Zhi spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield and falling on the blood-stained figure atop the city wall.
Long Zhan, covered in blood and leaning on a broken sword, stood on the ruins of the city wall, looking at Ning Zhi with a complex expression, his heart filled with doubt and admiration.
He didn’t know who this extremely powerful and terrifying young man was, or why he had suddenly intervened to help the Heavenly Dragon Clan repel the Temple forces, but he knew that this person’s strength was immeasurable and far beyond his ability to deal with him.
Ning Zhi looked at him and spoke calmly, her voice clear: “Are you Long Zhan, patriarch of the Heavenly Dragon Clan?”
Long Zhan nodded, suppressing the shock and unease in his heart, then clasped his hands and said, “Thank you for your help, senior, for saving the Tianlong Clan and protecting Yunxian City. The Tianlong Clan will never forget your great kindness. May I ask how you are called, senior, and what brings you here?”
Ning Zhi did not answer his question. His gaze immediately passed over Ning Zhi’s body and fell towards the secret room in the city lord’s mansion below. Complex emotions flashed in his eyes, including hope, passion, and subtle ripples.
“David, is he in the secret room down there?”
Long Zhan’s expression immediately changed, and he became alert. Subconsciously he stepped forward to block Ning Zhi, gripping his broken sword tightly. Even though he knew that the difference in strength between himself and his opponent was huge, he still didn’t want anyone to disturb David, who was alone.
Seeing his wary expression, Ning Zhi smiled gently, dispelling his worries: “Don’t be nervous. I won’t kill him while he’s injured. I’ll wait until he recovers and let him die willingly.”
Ning Zhi was very arrogant at that time
He seemed to have forgotten the scenes of repeated defeats and humiliation he experienced from David, from the mortal realm to the celestial realm, and then to this celestial realm.
Ning Zhi now felt very strong, so she wanted to avenge all the humiliation and hatred she had suffered in the past.
If Ning Zhi finished off David while he was injured, he felt that it would not make up for the suffering he had endured over the years, and it would be too easy for David.
He wanted to play with David as if he were toying with an ant, leaving David with no right to determine his own life or death.
Only the feeling of having control over David’s life and death could make him feel better.
“Senior, do we really have to wait for David to fully recover and exit seclusion?”
Long Yuan was a little confused. If Ning Zhi and David had a grudge, he could have taken advantage of your illness to kill you.
Who waits until the enemy becomes stronger before taking revenge?
Ning Zhi didn’t say anything, but just stared at Long Yuan coldly, which scared Long Yuan so much that he took a few steps back and didn’t dare to make a sound.
Ning Zhi waited quietly outside Yunxian City for David to recover and come out of seclusion.
