The golden-armored man stood in front of Ou Yangming and shouted at the person who was blocking them.
“Long Hai, don’t be rude!”
Long Hai glanced at Ou Yangming and said, “Elder Long Shao, I’m not being rude. I just want to see the person who killed my cousin in a despicable way.”
Hearing this, everyone’s expression turned ugly. No matter what, Ou Yangming was still their guest.
Elder Long Shao was about to scold him when Ou Yangming raised his hand and said, “Senior, you don’t have to worry. Let him talk.”
Ou Yangming looked at the young man. He had killed more than one dragon powerhouse, so he asked, “Who’s your cousin?”
“Long Xiao!” The young man gritted his teeth, his eyes full of killing intent.
Hearing this name, Ou Yangming understood. When he entered the heart of origins, Long Xiao was one of the 2 dragon powerhouses who chased him halfway.
Unfortunately, Long Xiao was not proficient in learning. In the end, he did not hurt Ou Yangming even though he self-exploded.
Ou Yangming’s expression did not change. He responded indifferently, “He wanted to kill me, so I killed him. This shouldn’t be my fault. Besides, I didn’t use any despicable means to kill him.”
“This is just your one-sided statement. Who can be your witness?” Long Hai glanced at Ou Yangming with a sneer. “I don’t believe that you, a human, can be my cousin’s match unless you fight me fair and square!”
Long Hai revealed his purpose, which was also the reason he rushed over.
“What? Are you afraid?” Seeing that Ou Yangming did not say anything, Long Hai mocked.
Long Shao frowned and whispered into Ou Yangming’s ear, “Lord Ou, Long Hai is a God-favored one among the Dragons. He’s much stronger than his cousin.”
He naturally meant to persuade Ou Yangming not to accept the challenge.
Ou Yangming was their guest while Long Hai was a genius. It would not be good news for them if either of them was injured.
As the greatest genius, Long Hai had a lot of privileges in the Dragons. Only he dared to go against Ou Yangming because he knew no one would punish him.
No one else would have the courage.
Ou Yangming circled around and said in a low voice, “Okay, we’ll do as you say!”
Long Hai had a smile on his face. “That’s what you said.”
“A gentleman never goes back on his word,” Ou Yangming said seriously.
“Alright, Long Hai, you can step aside now. The emperor is still waiting for Lord Ou.” Long Xiao’s sharp gaze swept over Long Hai.
This time, Long Hai stepped aside and said in a deep voice.
“After half a month, we’ll meet at the colosseum.”
“Okay!”
Ou Yangming nodded and did not ask where it was. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Long Hai did not seem to be the same kind of person as Long Xiao.
After Ou Yangming and Long Shao left…
A few small dragons flew over from the sky. “Brother Hai, why did you set it for after half a month? We want to see you teach that human a lesson as soon as possible.”
Long Hai said in a deep voice, “That guy is injured now and will need at least 10 days to recover. If I fight him in these few days, even if I win, it’ll be an unfair victory. I, Long Hai, don’t want to do such a thing.”
“Brother Hai is indeed domineering. That guy will surely lose. I wonder how you’ll deal with him if you defeat him,” someone expressed.
“A life-or-death battle can be held in the colosseum, but that guy is someone our ancestor has set his eyes on. It’ll be very troublesome to kill him, so I’ll just break his legs and give him an unforgettable lesson,” Long Hai said in a gloomy tone.
“Brother Hai is indeed loyal.”
“That fella’s really lucky.”
…
While they were talking, Ou Yangming and Long Shao had walked to the depths of the 10,000 Dragons Valley. This place was the forbidden area of the Dragons, and there was no one around.
Long Shao glanced at Ou Yangming and said with a somewhat helpless tone, “Lord Ou, you shouldn’t have agreed to him just now.”
“Why? Since Long Hai challenged me, I can’t avoid the fight, right?”
Long Shao said, “Long Hai and his cousin had a good relationship before. He must be thinking of avenging him. A life-or-death battle can be carried out on the colosseum. Even we can’t interfere if a fight is happening there. I’m just afraid that Long Hai will harm you, Lord Ou. Our ancestor has asked us to take care of you. If you’re injured, we’ll be the sinners of the Dragons.”
“Senior, don’t worry. I should be able to handle Long Hai.” Ou Yangming smiled. He could see that Long Shao was thinking for him. Even though it was because of the Bone Dragon, he was still very grateful.
After coming here, Ou Yangming’s feelings toward the Dragons had also changed. The people here were arrogant, but they were also straightforward and would not secretly carry out any conspiracies. As compared to a small portion of the Phoenixes, the atmosphere here was more comfortable.
Long Shao sighed helplessly after hearing what Ou Yangming said, and he did not try to persuade the young fellow anymore.
In his opinion, Ou Yangming did not understand Long Hai’s strength, which was why he said that. Though Long Hai was young, he was a super genius. With his strength at the moment, even an elder like Long Shao might not be able to defeat him.
Long Shao hoped that Long Hai would have a greater sense of the big picture and would not go too far.
There was a valley in front of them. There were 2 strong men guarding the gate outside the valley. These 2 people had extraordinary strengths. Even Long Shao did not dare to be careless. He walked over and said, “Guards, this is Lord Ou, whom the emperor wants to see.”
The guards glanced at Ou Yangming and said with a straight face, “Go in.”
Long Shao thanked them and said, “Lord Ou, you may go in. The emperor’s inside. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Ou Yangming did not hesitate and quickly walked in. The valley was like a paradise. The gentle breeze blew over the fragrance, and all kinds of precious flowers and plants were everywhere.
In the middle of the valley, there was an exquisite pavilion. A block-robed man on a stone chair stood up when he saw Ou Yangming.
“Lil’ Friend Ou, come and sit here.”
“Thank you, senior.”
Ou Yangming walked over, and the black-robed man sat. The young fellow sat on the stone chair opposite him. The 2 of them looked at each other and sized each other up. The black-robed man then picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for the fellow. “Try this tea.”
The young fellow picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was extraordinary. It tasted sweet and had the effect of relieving fatigue.
Ou Yangming was exhausted after being pursued for days. His heart had long been exhausted. After drinking the tea, he felt much better.
“This tea is great.”
Ou Yangming praised then looked at the black-robed man. This person was undoubtedly the dragon emperor. The noble aura on his body could not be formed overnight.
He asked, “Senior, why have you asked me to come here?”
“Our ancestor has left, hasn’t he?” The dragon emperor put down the teacup in his hand, and his voice tinged with sadness.
“Yes.” Ou Yangming did not look good as well. “In order to save me from the Nine-sworded Ruler, Senior Bone Dragon left the temple and left this world.”
The dragon emperor sighed. “It was probably a kind of relief for the ancestor. After opening the passage, I felt that his aura was dissipating.”
Ou Yangming looked determined as he said, “My life was saved by Senior Bone Dragon. If you have any orders for me, I, Ou Yangming, won’t hesitate to help.”
“The Great Compassion Divine Dragon didn’t ask us to order you to do anything. His final order was for us to take good care of you.” The dragon emperor stared at Ou Yangming, wanting to find out what kind of magic the young fellow had for their ancestor to think so highly of him.
Ou Yangming was deeply moved. He raised his head and looked at the dragon emperor as he asked, “Senior Bone Dragon’s title is the Great Compassion Divine Dragon?”
The dragon emperor nodded. “That was a title from a long time ago. I reckon that no one in the Great Wide World remembers this now.”
Ou Yangming did not care whether others remembered it or not. He remembered the name well in his heart.
The dragon emperor asked, “Did the ancestor have any instructions for you?”
Ou Yangming recalled for a moment and responded, “Senior Bone Dragon said that when the great calamity comes in the future, he wants me to do my part for the Great Wide World.”
He did not mention the rest of the content. The Dragons were very prosperous at the moment, occupying a third of the Great Wide World’s territory.
If he said that the senior also wanted him to leave behind a trace of the Dragons’ bloodline inheritance, it would sound like a curse.
Furthermore, Ou Yangming did not have the capital to do so at the moment.
“It seems that the ancestor really thinks highly of you.” The dragon emperor sighed then pondered for a moment.
Ou Yangming thought of the Nine-sworded Ruler and the others in the heart of origins and asked, “Senior Dragon Emperor, do you know who the Nine-sworded Ruler is?”
“No, but I know where he came from. The ancestor has told me what happened in the heart of origins through a voice transmission,” the dragon emperor answered slowly.
“Then the Heavenly Path Alliance…” Ou Yangming asked.
The dragon emperor looked stern as he explained, “The Heavenly Path Alliance is a terrifying place. It doesn’t exist in our world. There are plenty of powerhouses there, and the Nine-sworded Ruler isn’t even considered top-tier there.”
“Could it be that there are other worlds outside the Great Wide World?” Ou Yangming asked. The appearance of the Nine-sworded Ruler made him certain that there were other worlds out there, but he did not know anything about those places.
If he wanted to take revenge for Du Xie and the Bone Dragon, he had to know about this information.
Moreover, he had vowed to destroy the Nine-sworded Ruler and the Heavenly Path Alliance. The goal seemed far-fetched, but he would work toward it bit by bit.
The dragon emperor said in a deep voice, “The Great Wide World is just a corner of the universe. In this universe, there are a total of 5 worlds, and the Great Wide World is one of them. Since the Great Wide World was formed last, it’s also known as the Fifth World. “The Nine-sworded Ruler and the Heavenly Path Alliance are from the Third World.”
“The universe is so massive!” Ou Yangming’s worldview was once again shocked. He had thought of other worlds, but he had never thought that there were 4 other worlds on par with the Great Wide World in the universe.
The Great Wide World had an incredibly long history. Nobody knew how many years had passed since ancient times, but it was still the world that was formed last.
