Chapter 311: Chapter 313 Fiend Star Dragon
Chao Ruijin of the Copper Knife Army, Yao Junshi who protects the family, and Gao Yujie of the Azure Wolf Cavalry, at this moment, they were looking at Zhu Minglang with eyes one might use to behold a monster.
Lian Feiling was the Administrator of Godly Mortal Academy, a position of great prestige.
And Liang Zhong, an authoritative figure of the Tea-colored Ground, was brought back by Zhu Minglang to apologize, which was truly unbelievable.
The public might not know what these two people represented, but they were very clear about it.
It was as if Godly Mortal Academy had bowed to Master Zhu!
Although the final decision had not changed, when had Godly Mortal Academy ever bowed to any power!
“What a pity, if not for the Orderer’s obstinacy, our Runyu City really had a chance to revive under Master Zhu’s leadership,” Chao Ruijin of the Copper Knife Army sighed deeply.
In two days and nights, sweeping through dozens of powers in the Tea-colored Ground, not only punishing those violent offenders one by one, but also making Godly Mortal Academy pay a price, with such boldness, why worry about not being able to rejuvenate this city?
“Yes, such a pity, a real pity,” Yao Junshi also sighed with regret.
It seemed like their Hu Family Army had latched onto a strong leg, but alas, the times…
Heavenly Capital did not allow Runyu City to revive.
On the final day, inside Runyu City, there was desolation everywhere.
Even some cultivators began to retreat in succession; they did not wish to be treated as villains and hunted down by so-called reputable and orthodox sects.
Of course, there was also a significant number of people who did not leave, not because they had deep feelings for Runyu City, but because they had no other choice. To leave Runyu City was to suffer in displacement, to die in humiliation amidst chaos and strife…
By noon, the Hu Family Siblings finally returned.
They had rushed to Green Bull Mountain. Although their hopes were slim, they did everything they could to find that Orderer.
It was evident that the siblings had probably not closed their eyes for these few days, looking tired and haggard.
After drinking a mouthful of water, Hu Bailing spoke before her brother, “City Lord, there’s still a chance!!”
The eyes of the people around them lit up; in fact, the moment they saw them, everyone saw a glimpse of hope in the eyes of the two siblings.
It was a joy that couldn’t be hidden despite their exhaustion and fatigue from days without sleep!
“City Lord, take a look at this,” Hu Chongming handed Zhu Minglang a dark feather scale.
When Zhu Minglang took it, the moment he touched the feather scale, he felt a chill. The cold spread from his skin to every inch of his body, making him feel as if he were wrapped in something cold and dark, and his breathing became somewhat labored.
“What is this?” Zhu Minglang was somewhat surprised.
Just a feather scale could impose such pressure; one could imagine how formidable and terrifying the owner of this feather scale must be!
“A Fiend Star Dragon! An unusual breed of Mourning Dragon, solitary in nature, and wherever it appears, terrible disasters are sure to occur. It is the most malevolent and calamitous dragon in legends. It is said that the constant warfare and the cruel and greedy monarchs of the Tea-colored Grounds for hundreds of years have a great connection with this Fiend Star Dragon!” Hu Chongming said excitedly.
A Fiend Star Dragon?
Unheard of.
Zhu Minglang patted his own back, wanting the erudite Mr. Jinli to come out and give an explanation, but Mr. Jinli seemed to have wandered off to who knows where.
“The Orderer of Green Bull Mountain has been pursuing the Fiend Star Dragon for these years, and just half a month ago, he finally found the Fiend Star Dragon and fought with it, injuring it. Sadly, he was unable to kill it. The Orderer’s Silver Tail Purple Dragon is also seriously injured and is currently recuperating in Green Bull Mountain. The Orderer does not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…” Hu Bailing quickly added.
The siblings were both extremely excited, on one hand, they were shocked that the legendary Fiend Star Dragon actually existed, and on the other, they saw hope for Runyu City.
“The Orderer said that if we can help him hunt the Fiend Star Dragon, he will ensure Runyu City’s safety,” Hu Chongming said.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt reinvigorated!
They hadn’t expected that on the last day, the Hu Family siblings would bring such good news!
With the support of another Orderer, Runyu City could not only be removed from the ranks of the City of Sin, but could also win over many surrounding forces. Even without the protection of the Godly Mortal Academy, the combined might of these forces could still be a deterrent!
“What kind of joke is this!!”
Suddenly, a hoary voice barged in.
Mr. Jinli swam down from a large poplar tree where he seemed to have been napping.
“Mr. Jinli, do you know about the Fiend Star Dragon?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Of course, I do. The Fiend Star Dragon is a Disaster Dragon. Epidemics often break out where it appears, and the lands it inhabits are constantly plagued by war. It’s a dragon that brings disaster to the world. But no matter what the legends say, the Fiend Star Dragon is definitely more powerful and frightening than you can imagine. The idea that you mere mortals could hunt it is simply a fantasy!” Mr. Jinli said.
“But it’s injured, the Orderer from Green Bull Mountain said so himself, and the injuries are severe. Its strength must have been greatly reduced!” Hu Chongming said.
“Let me ask you, if a Dragon King is injured, would you dare to hunt it?” Mr. Jinli asked.
“A… Dragon King??” Hu Chongming began to stutter.
Dragon King!!
Even with a hundred thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to trouble a Dragon King!
“Mr. Jinli, is the Fiend Star Dragon at the Dragon King Level?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Any dragon that has lived for a thousand years is certainly a Dragon King. Just for one broken city, you’d provoke a Fiend Star Dragon that is very likely to be a Dragon King. You might as well go and take out Orderer Yan Guang; I think that would be a hundred times easier than hunting the Fiend Star Dragon,” Mr. Jinli said.
Mr. Jinli’s words undoubtedly poured cold water on everyone’s enthusiasm.
Everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell back on the Hu Family siblings who also looked at each other, at a loss for words.
“Did that Orderer from Green Bull Mountain say anything about the actual strength of the Fiend Star Dragon?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“He didn’t specify. He only told us that the Fiend Star Dragon was injured,” Hu Bailing said.
“Hmph, how could a minor Orderer of a piece of land seriously wound the Fiend Star Dragon all by himself? It’s more likely that the Fiend Star Dragon was injured for some other reason. In my opinion, the Orderer from Green Bull Mountain can’t be certain whether the Fiend Star Dragon is truly injured or not. He’s sending you to your deaths, so he can determine the true condition of the Fiend Star Dragon!” Mr. Jinli said.
“That shouldn’t be the case,” Hu Bailing said.
“What ‘shouldn’t be’ – he didn’t tell you that the Fiend Star Dragon is of Dragon King Level, which means he’s setting you up!” Mr. Jinli said indignantly.
“Indeed, if the Fiend Star Dragon is a Dragon King, or even close to that level, it’s not something we can handle,” Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.
