Chapter 59: Holy Palace
Chapter 59: Holy Palace
“What?!”
Li Fu, who was about to step in to help, froze as he saw the black dragon suddenly plummeting from the sky.
He quickly scanned his surroundings. He had noticed the fleeting black light earlier, which indicated that someone had come to their aid!
He used his Divine Roaming to survey the area.
The Peerless Spirit Cultivation Technique allowed him to Divine Roam for eighteen miles!
Although Li Fu was not from the main lineage of the Li Family, he had earned first-class battle merits and, with Li Tiangang's assistance, managed to exchange for a Peerless Spirit Cultivation Technique. In the Divine Wanderer Realm, he was considered a formidable expert.
At this moment, everything within eighteen miles was within his sight, but he saw no one.
At the same time, the burly man also reacted, his face changing instantly as he began to search for the powerful ally who had helped them, but found no one. He realized that the person had hidden their presence and did not wish to reveal themselves. He bowed gratefully and clasped his hands:
"Thank you, Senior, for your assistance. I hope you will leave your name so that Wei Feng can repay this life-saving favor in the future!"
His voice carried for fifteen miles.
After a long while, there was no response.
Wei Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought that a senior capable of killing the dragon with a single strike probably didn't care for such a minor favor. He felt a sense of regret.
He turned to Li Fu and said, "Is this senior from your Divine General Manor?"
Li Fu was taken aback. He wondered if it was the grandmaster behind him who had acted.
Divine General Manor... apart from himself, there shouldn't be anyone else, right?
But perhaps it was someone sent from one of the four academies?
Puzzled, he could only say, "I'm not sure, but the favor is noted, and the Divine General Manor will remember it!"
He, too, bowed to the surrounding area.
...
"My husband's aura..."
Thirty miles away, the female black dragon's pupils suddenly constricted as she sensed the powerful aura from afar gradually fading and finally disappearing completely.
She looked urgently at Li Hao, but he appeared calm, as if he had merely tossed a stone. He was now looking at her with a composed expression.
"What did you do to my husband?" the female black dragon asked, her voice trembling.
"Can't you guess?"
Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "Your husband won't be coming to your rescue. You might as well give up. If you're willing to talk, I might consider sparing you."
The female black dragon trembled. She could only sense her husband's aura fading, but she didn't know what had happened. The distance was too great, beyond the range of her Divine Soul's perception.
However, Li Hao's demeanor filled her with extreme unease.
"Alright, what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything", the female black dragon said, her voice suddenly becoming soft and coquettish, displaying weakness and helplessness.
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, immediately thinking of the tricks used by demons in stories to ensnare and manipulate hearts. These demon races were not just brute force; they could also use their charm to confuse and mislead people when they were weak.
"Don't try to play games with me. Tell me about the Yanbei Demon Clan. Why do they persist in attacking?" Li Hao said coldly.
The female black dragon said in a soft, tender voice, "Would you let up a bit first? I'll tell you everything."
"Don't waste my time!" Li Hao said sharply.
The demon mist dissipated, and the female black dragon transformed back into her previous beautiful woman form. She lay on the ground, her face still under Li Hao's foot, looking utterly disheveled. However, her expression was soft and alluring, and she looked at Li Hao with tears in her eyes.
"Aren't you a gentleman who appreciates beauty?"
"I have no interest in a rotten snake", Li Hao said coldly.
The Black Dragon Beauty's eyes flashed with anger and humiliation. She hated being called a snake, but to escape, she had to endure it. She said in a weak, gentle voice:
"I don't know much about Yanbei, but if you let up a bit, we can talk, alright?"
Her hand slowly caressed Li Hao's boot, moving up his leg.
Li Hao felt the movement beneath him and said coldly, "I admire your spirit. Your husband just died, and you're already thinking about betrayal."
"Huh?"
The Black Dragon Beauty was stunned, her eyes widening as she stared at Li Hao in disbelief. "What did you say? My husband... he..."
Seeing Li Hao's cold eyes, her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. She remembered her husband's rapidly fading aura and the scale that had been shot out...
Her eyes turned red, and the soft, weak expression on her face vanished, replaced by a fierce and frenzied look as she glared at Li Hao: "You killed my husband, I will make you die!!"
"I gave you a chance to live, don't waste it", Li Hao said.
"Want to know about Yanbei? Dream on!"
The Black Dragon Beauty, in a state of madness, roared, "We demons have taken a Heart Oath, and we will never betray the Holy Palace. You will never know anything, die, I will make you die!!"
She lunged at Li Hao with a wild frenzy, even biting at his boots, her body rolling and transforming into her original black dragon form.
Li Hao frowned slightly, not expecting her to react so intensely to the news of her husband's death. Could demons truly have genuine emotions?
Seeing the black dragon thrash about in a mad frenzy, Li Hao pressed down on her head again, subduing her.
However, the female black dragon seemed to have lost all reason, roaring and thrashing uncontrollably. Li Hao, seeing this, knew he had no choice but to end her life.
As her head was crushed, the sharp, deafening roar abruptly stopped.
Li Hao shook the blood from his hands, glanced at the gently twitching dragon tail, and sighed softly.
He hadn't expected his efforts to be in vain, having learned nothing.
As for the Holy Palace and the Yanbei Demon Clan's plans to invade Dayu, he was sure his long-lost father would know more than he did.
Shaking his head, Li Hao didn't linger, stepping out of the trail and returning to the tea stand.
The dragon's corpse left behind would be found by Uncle Fu and the others, who would handle it.
Outside the tea stand.
Seeing Li Hao return silently from the trail, everyone was startled, and Yu Wei jumped up in fright.
Li Yuanzhao, taken aback, quickly rushed over, getting close to Li Hao's chest and whispering, "Hao Ge, have you already achieved Soul Continuation?"
Li Hao was slightly surprised but immediately understood the reason, nodding with a smile.
Soul Continuation, it had been a while ago.
"Really?!" Li Yuanzhao's eyes widened, his excitement palpable.
Li Hao, seeing the excitement in his eyes, patted his shoulder and said, "It's a small matter, nothing to worry about. Have you all eaten enough?"
Li Yuanzhao, used to Li Hao's casual demeanor, didn't see it as a minor achievement and whispered excitedly, "If Mother learns you've achieved Soul Continuation, she'll be overjoyed."
"Indeed."
Thinking of the dignified and graceful Mother, Li Hao felt a deep respect. Over the years, only Mother had treated him with unwavering kindness.
Time reveals true character. When he first arrived, he hadn't adapted to the noble environment of this foreign world and misjudged people, leading to some setbacks.
Now, after spending more time with them, he had a clear understanding of the personalities of the ladies in each courtyard.
For instance, the fourth lady who adopted Yuanzhao wasn't a simple character.
She was childless and kept a low profile in the manor, appearing gentle and kind.
"Li Hao, where did you go?" Du Qiuyue asked curiously as she saw Li Hao approach.
"There was a demon, I had to deal with it", Li Hao smiled. He hadn't intended to mention it, but thought it might be good to keep them on edge before the upcoming trip to Qizhou to slay demons, to avoid any carelessness that could cost them their lives.
"Demons?"
Everyone was stunned, and Ren Qianqian couldn't help but look at Li Hao, scrutinizing him to confirm the truth of his words.
The old man running the tea stand was bewildered. "Young hero, you said there were demons?"
Li Hao turned to the old man. "Boss, it's getting dark. You should pack up and go home early."
"Really, there were demons?" The old man's curiosity was piqued.
Li Hao smiled, but at the same time, he sighed inwardly.
He didn't know why he sighed.
Without further ado, seeing that everyone had finished eating and drinking, he called for them to mount their horses and set off.
On the Crimson Blood Horse, as they rode, Yu Wei and Du Qiuyue seemed to feel Li Hao's presence more familiar, and their courage grew. They asked if he had truly reached the Soul Succession Realm.
Li Hao nodded with a smile, not denying it.
Both of them were speechless, marveling at the fact that the strongest disciple of Alpha Court was right beside them.
The sword-wielding girl on the horse tightened her grip on the reins.
As Li Hao and the others left the tea stand, a small, unremarkable bird soared through the high, white clouds, flying away into the distance.
In its eyes, there was deep fear. It knew it had to bring this terrifying news to Yanbei and the White Divine Lord.
The Li Family has a son, fourteen years old, suspected to be a Master!
Once this news spreads, it will shock countless people.
And if the elders of the Holy Palace learn of it, they will never allow another Qian Dao Palace disciple to rise among humans.
After the bird and the young rider left, Li Fu and Wei Feng arrived at the jungle where the mother dragon's corpse lay. They had followed the scent, which was thick with the smell of blood!
