The Dragon race had always been in a state of war. Now that they had all retreated to defend the Dragon World, they had no news of the outstde world.
Apart from the Emperor experts of the Dragon World, even some Dragon Kings had only vaguely heard some rumors about the battle of the Great Wilderness, let alone Long Ran, a Dragon who had just entered the Perfected One realm.
Long Li only knew about this matter from Dragon Queen Hornless as well.
Long Li did not know what Long Ran was thinking and thought that he was curious about Emperor Desolate Martial. She explained simply, âItâs said that Emperor Desolate Martial is known as the number one person below the Great Emperor realm. He suppressed more than a hundred Emperor realm experts singlehandedly and is invincibleâ¦â
Long Ranâs eyes widened as he looked in Su Zimoâs direction.
Su Zimo remained calm and merely nodded gently.
Others might not know Desolate Martial, but Long Ran knew that Su Zimoâs Martial Dao True Body was Desolate Martial!
However, he was not sure if Emperor Desolate Martial was the same person as
he knew.
Long Ran was only truly certain when he saw Su Zimoâs subtle action.
âEven the Blessed Heaven World was forced to return in defeat by him.
A look of admiration flashed through Long Liâs eyes. âUnfortunately, even the Emperor experts of the Dragon World are not fated to befriend someone like Emperor Desolate Martial, let alone me.â
âHahahaha!â
Of course, Long Ran would not reveal this matter casually. However, he could not help but laugh out loud.
âWhat are you laughing at?â
Long Li frowned and looked at Long Ran who was laughing non-stop in confusion. She could not understand what was so funny about this matter.
Monkey knew the details as well and winked at Long Ran.
Long Ran waved his hand and patted his chest. âDesolate Martial? Iâm familiar with him!â
âHuh?â
âYou know Emperor Desolate Martial?â
Long Li looked at Long Ran in confusion, not understanding what was wrong
with him.
âOf course.â
Long Ran said seriously, âWeâve known each other for many years and are very familiar with each other, let alone our deep relationship.â
That was indeed the truth.
Long Li looked at Long Ranâs serious expression and endured for a long time. In the end, she burst into laughter and rolled her eyes. âHow can you possibly know Emperor Desolate Martial, you braggart!
âHaha!â
Long Ran burst into laughter as well. âLittle girl, Iâm tellingyou the truth but you donât believe me.â
âAs if Iâd believe you.â
Long Li pouted. âYouâve been staying in the Dragon World since you ascended.
How would you know Emperor Desolate Martial?â
âThat brat, Desolate Martialâ¦â
Long Ran had just spoken when Long Li frowned and glared at him angrily.
Long Ran coughed gently and corrected himself. âDesolate Martial ascended from the lower worlds as well. Weâ re all from the same world. Back then, I even imparted to him many Dharmic Daos.â
âTsk!â
Long Li rolled her eyes. âYouâre getting more and more out of hand. You imparted Dharmic Daos to Emperor Desolate Martial? Heâs the number one person below the Great Emperor realm right now and youâre only a puny Perfected Dragonâ¦â
Long Ranâs face twitched and his face darkened. âLittle girl, how can you say such hurtful words!â
Long Li said, âI heard from Mother that the reason why Emperor Desolate Martial was so enraged and started a massacre was because more than a hundred Emperors joined forces to bully his Dao Companion.
âEven during the battle, Emperor Desolate Martial held the hand of his Dao Companion the entire time and protected her by his side.â
When he heard that, Long Ranâs heart skipped a beat. âDesolate Martialâs Dao Companion is a blood-robed woman, right?
âEh?â
Long Li looked at Long Ran in surprise before asking with a fake smile, âWhy?
Are you familiar with Demon Empress Blood Butterfly as well?â
âFamiliar⦠not to that extent.â
Long Ran was still a little afraid of Die Yue and did not dare to joke casually. He said honestly, âAlthough, we did have the affinity to meet.
Long Li naturally did not believe it.
Demon Empress Blood Butterfly was a living being of the upper world. Long Ran had ascended from the lower worlds and had never left the Dragon World. How could he have the affinity to meet with her?
Of course, Long Li did not expose this matter.
She merely thought that Long Ran was excited upon reuniting with an old friend and was spouting nonsense. There was naturally no way she would believe him.
Long Li smiled. âI was just saying casually. Even if Emperor Desolate Martial really comes, he probably wonât be able to suppress the experts of hundreds of worlds. Stop pretending you1 re close to him.â
Although the four of them were of different races, there was no estrangement between them. They chatted happily and drank heartily.
Under Su Zimoâs persuasion, Long Ran agreed to leave the Dragon World as
well.
A Perfected Dragon like him could not affect the situation in a battle of such a super large world.
There was no difference whether he was there or not.
However, after he ascended, he had been cultivating in the Dragon World. Although some Dragons looked down on him, he made some friends too. He was still a little reluctant to part with the Dragon World and his friends of the Dragon race.
The City Lord of Feng City treated him well as well.
Otherwise, he would not have let a Perfected Dragon who had just advanced to the Perfected Dragon realm take on the role of a commander.
For the past few days, Long Ran had been strolling around Feng City with Su Zimo and the other two, recounting some interesting things that had happened here after he ascended.
Since he had already decided to depart, there was no need to rush it.
Su Zimo understood that Long Ran was a person who valued friendship. He was using this method to bid farewell to the Dragon World and this Dragon City. Ten days later, the four of them headed to the City Lordâs residence to pay their respects to the City Lord of Feng City and bid him farewell.
Long Feng.
He was the City Lord of Feng City and a peak King!
Having guarded Dragon City all year round, the City Lord clearly exuded an iron-blooded killing aura. He was dignified without being angry and looked difficult to get along with.
However, the City Lord of Feng City did not make things difficult for Long Ranâs departure. He merely felt that it was a pity.
The City Lord of Feng City did not have any hostility towards Su Zimo and Monkey.
âItâs wartime now. Thereâs no movement from the Parasol Tree World and they canât break through the Dragon World. This place is considered safe.â Long Feng said, âHowever, if you leave the Dragon World and lose the protection of the Coiling Dragon Formation, you have to be careful.
Long Feng reminded before looking at Long Ran. âStay and have a casual meal. Weâll take that as a farewell for you.â
âThe fact that you were able to ascend from the lower worlds proves that your talent is not bad. Itâs just that you lack some opportunities and luck. How far you can cultivate in the future will depend on your luck.â As he said that, Long Feng took out a storage bag and handed it to Long Ran. âThere are some things inside that I have no use for. I can give them to you. Long Ran was touched and received it with both hands, bowing in thanks. The four of them stayed in the City Lordâs residence and ate some immortal fruits before preparing to leave.
The moment he arrived at the entrance of the hall, Su Zimo suddenly stopped. As though he sensed something, he looked towards the end of the starry skies and frowned.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Long Ran asked.
Monkey tilted his head. Under the long fur on both sides of his cheeks, a second pair of ears appeared quietly and moved slightly.
Thereafter, he stared at his feet with a bewildered expression.
Right then, Long Feng raised his head abruptly and his expression changed starkly. Two flames burst forth from his eyes as he roared, âEnemy attack.â The Dragon Roar pierced through gold and cracked rocks, resounding into the clouds and instantly broke the peace of Feng City!
