"He then sent us here, saying that youâll help us," the woman replied.
"Freed you from the Dark Tribe prison? Donât tell me he already attacked that place?" Mimi asked, shocked. How fast was that guy? Not only did he already reach the Northern Empire, but he also infiltrated that place?" Mimi asked, surprised. "I hope he isnât caught by the Dark Tribe."
"Not infiltrated, he openly entered that place and annihilated the entire Dark Tribe," The woman answered.
"Annihilated the Dark Tribe?" Mimiâs mouth opened slightly. "Are you sure?"
"Iâm sure. He killed the Dark Tribe Leader right before my eyes," the woman answered.
"What about the Northern Emperor? How is he now? Did he manage to escape after destroying the Dark Tribe?" Mimi asked, concerned.
"He wasnât trapped. And I donât think he was concerned about the Northern Emperor. It didnât seem like anyone knew what had happened in the Dark Tribe. That man... is too powerful," the lady replied, sighing.
"He is a really great man. He couldâve just left after killing the Dark Tribe members, but he stayed and helped us escape that hell. We all owe our lives to that great man," she continued.
"Thatâs true. Heâs a great man indeed," Mimi agreed, still unable to believe that Long Chen had finished such an important mission so easily.
He had completely destroyed the Dark Tribe, all while not letting the information of this attack leak at all. That was already amazing in itself.
"Why were you in the prisons of Dark Tribe? And you said âusâ. Exactly how many of you were there?" Mimi asked.
"There were hundreds of us. The others are waiting outside the Palace. Only I was allowed to come in. As for how we were there..."
The woman went silent, not knowing how to speak it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Donât worry, speak. Thereâs nothing to worry about anymore. No one can hurt you," Mimi comforted the lady, who ultimately nodded and started telling everyone.
As Mimi heard what the Dark Tribe was doing, her face turned pale. They were actually doing this? They were destroying clans and taking away the ladies of those clans for this...?
She already hated the Dark Tribe for what they did. She didnât believe she couldnât be any more disgusted by them than she already was, but she was proven to be wrong.
By the time that lady finished telling her plight, her eyes were filled with tears.
"I am extremely sorry for what happened to you. I canât even imagine how it must feel like, but Iâll promise you. No matter how your past was, your future would be different. As the Princess of the Western Empire, Iâll help you settle in the Western Empire!" Mimi declared.
....
"I donât understand. Why did you send those ladies to the Western Empire? Soon, that Blood Dragon Emperor will come and destroy the entire Immortal World."
"In any case, those ladies canât have a good future. Everyone is going to die, right? Why didnât you send them to your Inner World instead?" Snake Monarch asked, frowning.
"Youâre wrong. The Immortal World wonât be destroyed. Iâm sure of that," Long Chen responded.
"How can you be sure of that?" Snake Monarch asked, frowning. "Didnât that Glen guy say that the Immortal World is going to be destroyed?"
"He was wrong. Because he forgot to consider one very important thing," Long Chen replied.
"What did he forget to consider?" Snake Monarch asked.
"He forgot to consider me. This world wonât be destroyed as long as Iâm here," Long Chen explained.
"Donât tell me you want to be a hero and save this world? You canât even take on the human Emperors. How can you take on the Blood Dragon Emperors who can mop the floor with the Emperors?" Snake Monarch asked, rolling his eyes.
"Itâs not because I want to be a hero. My reason is different," Long Chen let out, shaking his head.
"What reason do you have then?" Snake Monarch asked.
"Itâs because I want to tame the Blood Dragon Emperor. Iâm going to let him injure the four Emperors before killing them. As soon as my oath is complete, Iâll get to taming the Blood Dragon Emperor," Long Chen explained. "Thatâs why the world wonât be destroyed."
"Why do you want to tame it?" Snake Monarch asked. "Donât you already have a Blood Dragon? I donât think you should be greedy."
"Iâm doing this for you, actually." Long Chen said.
"For me? What do you mean?" Snake Monarch asked.
"What I mean is very simple. I need a beast who is as powerful as the mythical beasts. A beast that can take me to the Heaven or the Demon team. From there, I can get to the phoenix world to get their blood," Long Chen started explaining.
"The Blood Dragon Emperor is the best choice if I keep that in mind. A beast that can destroy the Immortal World would certainly be able to take me to the world above. I need this beast," he continued.
"The question still remains. Can you actually defeat the beast? I know you tamed a Blood Dragon, but from what I heard, the Blood Dragons are like kids in front of the Blood Dragon Emperor!" Snake Monarch insisted.
"You donât need that beast to get to higher words. We have that statue. We can find the world traveling stone. You donât need to risk your life for it!"
"Iâm not putting my life at risk. Itâs a calculated risk, and Iâve actually thought about it after hearing about your bloodline. I canât just stop in the Immortal World. At one time, Iâll need to go to the Heaven to get stronger, but I canât without getting that beast."
"As for the world traveling stone, I donât think we can find it. I mean, think about it. That guy existed billions of years ago. After the civilization was destroyed and a new civilization came, that stone is long gone."
"That statue only knows where it used to be, but it doesnât know where it will be at the moment? Also, thereâs no loss in actually trying to tame the Blood Dragon Emperor. He would be a good boost to my strength, wonât he?"
"Have you already decided? You wonât change your life?" Snake Monarch asked.
"I wonât," Long Chen replied. "Itâs the final decision."
"Fine! Do what you want. Donât come crying to me for help," Snake Monarch let out, rolling his eyes.
"I have a feeling that it wonât come to that,"Long Chen replied, smiling wryly.
