“Hurry, Teacher Ke Bei. We need to return to Ancestral Dragon City State as soon as possible and inform the City Lord of this matter!
“It’s not a violation of the Academy’s rules if we’re just informing them, right?”
Teacher Ke Bei nodded. As a citizen of Ancestral Dragon City State, naturally he hoped to see Glory Valley City emerge victorious.
“Then, please go ahead of us, teacher. We’ll return to the Academy right behind you!” Nan Ye urged.
A Eagle Dragon was much faster than a Pseudodragon Bird, even faster than the army’s message relays. The war reports Glory Valley City received were all delayed; this meant that the stronghold was breached very suddenly…
“Then you guys be careful. Don’t ever get involved in the war; you won’t be able to change the situation,” Teacher Ke Bei instructed them.
As long as they didn’t leave the Pseudodragon Birds, the students shouldn’t be in any danger, and they would leave the battlefield very quickly. An Eagle Dragon was so fast that they could even reach the city lord before the war report reached him.
Ke Bei was very clear that Glory Valley City was only using the sunken lake to stall for time. When the flood water drained away and was absorbed by the earth, the rebel army would still attack the city!
Time was tight. He needed to fly at full speed!
Beating its strong, feathery wings, the Eagle Dragon flew through the curtain of the rain, and left the valley after several rising and falling in the air, heading in the direction of the Lichuan Plains…
The mountain at their backs, the sky slowly flattened to the horizon. His expression grave, Ke Bei urged his Eagle Dragon to speed up.
At this moment, they had yet to break away from the rain, although they were getting further and further away from Glory Valley City. Given the Eagle Dragon’s speed, they only needed half a day’s time to return to Ancestral Dragon City State.
Warm scarlet rays broke through the dark clouds, shining onto the lands from even higher up in the sky. The mountain woods slowly shone a maple red.
Zhu Minglang turned his head around subconsciously and looked at the skies covered in dark clouds, then at the mist of rain in the skies. Before he realized it, the dark clouds had turned rose scarlet, like burning flames. The mist of rain thinned out, and white steam appeared under the clouds, like a pot that had just been uncovered!
The sky was scarlet red!
This wasn’t the first time Zhu Minglang had witnessed such a phenomenon!
On his shoulder, the sleepy White Ice Morning Dragon suddenly opened his eyes, his frosty pupils focused on a particular cluster of scarlet clouds right above the Eagle Dragon!
“Watch out!” Zhu Minglang yelled.
Beyond the scarlet red clouds, a Great Dragon, its body full of scales reflecting golden light, suddenly dove down, using its tough body to tackle the Eagle Dragon. The force behind its attack was terrifying!
Ke Bei was caught completely unprepared. It was like the Eagle Dragon was struck by a flaming meteorite, plunging to the mountain woods below them.
The fiery flames instantly ignited the trees around it on fire, forming a huge wall of fire that swayed in the wind.
The Eagle Dragon crawled back on its feet from the crater it created. During the fall, it had protected the three passengers with its wings. Unfortunately, its right wing was broken because of that. When it stood up on, it was unable to spread its wing, and even seemed like it would lose it!
Standing firmly on the ground, the Eagle Dragon wasn’t afraid of the surrounding fire at all. Its sharp eyes were staring angrily at the golden scarlet fire dragon in the air.
“There are Dragon Tamers in Wutu, too?” Ke Bei exclaimed with a grave expression, turning back to look at Duan Lan and Zhu Minglang.
Fortunately, both of them were unhurt.
Teacher Duan Lan recovered from the dizziness caused by the impact very quickly. She extended her palm out and slapped heavily onto the burning ground. Immediately, a gorgeous streak of water rippled out from her palm!
Countless water beads sprayed out, flying toward the rising wall of fire. The water ripples were stronger than the flames, quickly extinguishing the flames wherever they swept.
“Ao…!!”
At the same time, the area where the water spread seemed to be connected to a certain mysterious deep pool, the pattern of a spirit domain clearly depicted in the form of water ripples. Her Deep River Dragon flew out from the ripple imprint. The scorching air in the surrounding was extinguished by the dragon’s breath, becoming much cooler.
Zhu Minglang and little Baiqi were fine, too. They didn’t sustain any injuries.
Zhu Minglang looked closely at the arrogant fire dragon, his brow knitted.
-Why is it him? A Gilded Fire Dragon!!-
“So Little Brother Zhu is here, too. Today is really a great day!” As expected, Luo Xiao’s voice was heard from above the Gilded Fire Dragon.
Ke Bei looked at Zhu Minglang, asking, “Who is he?”
“Gilded Fire Dragon, Luo Xiao. He should be stationed at East Dawn Stronghold,” Teacher Duan Lan interjected.
Zhu Minglang nodded.
“Since you’re the commander of the stronghold, why aren’t you going to report the war situation, and are trying to hurt others?” Ke Bei demanded angrily.
“Hahahaha, why do you think the reports are delayed? I killed every messenger; naturally, and that includes you nosy people!” Luo Xiao’s pale face showed sickening cruelty.
The psychopath had finally shown his true self!
“You… you traitor! Why are you helping the Wutu rebel army?” Ke Bei demanded, pointing at Luo Xiao.
“Why? You’re asking me why?” Luo Xiao’s face appeared savage.
He was crazy to an extent to begin with. After seeing Zhu Minglang, he seemed to have slipped into a hopeless state!
Zhu Minglang was similarly confused.
If Luo Xiao knew about the matter between him and Li Yunzi, then he should have come to him directly to take revenge. There was no need to kill the messengers and allow the eastern territory of Ancestral Dragon City State to fall into a crisis…
-Did something happen in the Li Clan?
-To make Luo Xiao so crazy to the extent that he would betray the clan… A certain obsession of his must have been thoroughly stifled!-
“I worked for the Li Clan to my bones, and yet they view me as a dog that shouldn’t bark unnecessarily. This whipping… I’ll make the entire Li Clan regret treating me this way!” Luo Xiao removed his hood, revealing his face.
A heavy whip mark streaked across his cheek, passing through his ear, all the way to the back of his head. The ruptured flesh on his cheek had yet to heal. New blood stains and the freshly solidified scabs were mixed together. One could imagine how heavy this lash of the whip was!
This whipping was the doing of Li Clan’s patriarch, Li Ying!
After the meeting ended the other day, Luo Xiao pleaded with Patriarch Li to reconsider Li Yunzi’s marriage, and also expressed his love for the patriarch’s daughter.
However, Li Ying responded with this whipping!
“Even if her reputation is ruined, she’s the Eldest Young Miss of Li Clan. Who do you think you are? Don’t harbor any delusions, and don’t forget your status. This whip is to remind you. If you ever question our decisions in the Affairs Hall again, I’ll have you pack your things and leave the Li Clan.”
Over the past few days, Li Ying’s words kept repeating in his mind, tormenting him and nearly making him go crazy!
