The domineering dragon aura spread and shook the realm.
The moment Shang Honghua opened her eyes, she jumped into the sky with the golden Buddhist lotus behind her. Immortal Sparks shimmered around her as she rose to the sky with the shadows of two dragons at her back — one golden and one crimson colored.
The golden dragon felt dignified and just, while the crimson dragon felt devilish and ruthless.
Having mastered the Golden Ancient Dragon and the Ashura Blood Dragon, Shang Honghua’s combat strength could rival that of a top Prodigy.
“My King!”
Shang Honghua’s figure flashed and appeared before Chu Kuangren the moment she spotted him.
“How are you feeling?”
“I’m feeling great.”
Shang Honghua clenched her fits and savored the energy in her body. She felt extremely energized like she was powerful enough to achieve anything.
She knew it was the adrenaline rush from her rapid power-ups, but she was still a lot stronger than her previous self.
Shang Honghua turned around to the Buddhist lotus and swung her spear forward to release a domineering surge of spear energy with a hint of powerful draconic might.
The Buddhist lotus exploded when hit.
Meanwhile, the prayer beads flew and landed in her hand.
She stared at it and took a deep breath. “My King, I have to go to the Dragon clan.”
“Is it related to the owner of these prayer beads?”
“Yes. I have her to thank because she helped suppress the evil inside me along the way, preventing me from falling into the wicked path. I’m the reason the Dragon clan caught her, and I have to save her.”
A dash of crimson glint flashed in her eyes, and a hint of evil qi started emanating from her body.
“You still haven’t gotten rid of the evil qi in you, and there is still a chance for you to fall into the evil path,” Chu Kuangren said with a shake of the head.
“I will be careful,” she said. She knew her condition better than anyone.
“The Dragon clan is one of the Eight Golden clans, and it’s said they have an Arch Gilded Immortal there. What could you possibly do on your own? I’ll go with you,” Chu Kuangren said.
“Thank you, my King.”
…
In the Dragon clan, one of the Eight Golden Family Sects, the current clan leader stared at Jing Hui sternly and said, “I didn’t expect a Prodigy from the Buddhist world would be together with the Ashura Blood Dragon. How evil.”
“Amitabha. Benefactor Shang isn’t evil. She’s just affected by the wicked Blood Dragon.”
“Regardless, she has killed a number of our men. The Dragon clan and the Third Dragon Crown Prince will never let this go easily. As for your punishment, I will leave it to the Third Dragon Crown Prince.”
“Amitabha.”
Jing Hui chanted to conceal the worry in her eyes.
It had been days since she parted with Shang Honghua, and she was worried about her friend’s condition.
Had she escaped danger? Or had she…
The latter worried her even more. All she could do was pray on behalf of Shang Honghua.
One of the Dragon clan disciples then took her to the dungeon and locked her up.
As for the Dragon Clan Leader, he frowned at the jade scroll in his hand. “It’s been days, but we still haven’t gotten any news.”
He had requested the Feng clan to gather information, and based on the Feng clan’s capabilities, they should have at least gotten the news of whether the Third Dragon Crown Prince had gotten the Ancient Golden Dragon’s inheritance or not.
Yet, nothing came in for days, which seemed a little out of the ordinary.
“It seems there’s only so much to the Feng clan’s capabilities,” he said with a grunt.
“Clan Leader, they’re here again,” said one of the Dragon clan elders.
The update put a heavy look on the Dragon Clan Leader’s face, but he nodded. “I’ll be right there.”
In the main hall, three people, two male and one female, were waiting patiently.
Each of them emanated a powerful aura, and it filled the entire hall with an indescribable yet terrifying pressure.
The Dragon clan disciples who got close even trembled unconsciously.
“They’re the top-notch Prodigies?” said one of the disciples who passed by the main hall and peeked inside cautiously.
If any other sky-prides were in the hall, they would be able to recognize one of the men who was missing an arm. He was the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, labeled as almost unrivaled among his peers.
As for the other two, they were the Eastern Sky Divine Daoists and the Great Arbiter Divine Maiden, who both shared the same status as him.
Three out of the nine Divine Daoists from the Nine Houses of the Immortal Hall were in the Dragon clan.
Their arrival alone was enough to fill the Dragon Clan Leader with anxiety.
When the Dragon Clan Leader arrived at the hall after a while, he smiled and greeted the three of them.
“Greetings, Divine Daoists, Divine Maiden.”
“Dragon Clan Leader, let’s skip to the chase. I believe you know why we are here, so just hand it over.”
