Chapter 795: Refusal to Admit
Chapter 795: Refusal to Admit
Plante's mental pressure was immense, and he felt as if his head was on fire.
What was going on today? Why were so many major events converging on this single day?
First, Cao Cao arrived, then the "Final Secret Realm," and finally, the Dragon Clan's attack on the city... Did you all plan this together?
Moreover, the situation for the Skrull race was extremely dire.
He had just confirmed that the number of slots for entering the "Final Secret Realm" had decreased from 99 to 50, and the realm restriction had dropped from the lower Seventh Rank to the upper Sixth Rank.
This meant that the competition for the slots in this realm would be even more intense than before!
Manina III had just emerged from his seclusion, and not only did he have to face the surging tide of magical beasts, but he also had to be wary of Cao Cao suddenly turning on him mid-battle.
And he had to come back to clean up the mess for the royal family. It was a real dog's day!
...
What was wrong with the Dragon Clan?
Manina, did you kill the Dragon King's son? Why are so many dragons attacking the Sun City?
Plante didn't have time to think further and quickly flew toward the direction where the Dragon King was located.
As he flew, he shouted to the Dragon King, "Cadrigos, my old friend, what is going on here? Why are you attacking the Sun City?"
The Dragon King didn't even spare him a glance, roaring, "Shut up! If you still consider me a friend, stay out of this! Look at what you've done!"
As he spoke, the Dragon King had already led the Chromatic Dragons to the small hill where the "Dragon Research Institute" was located.
Among the six dragons, the Red Dragon Queen was the most agitated. Her dragon scales stood on end, her back arched straight, and her eyes turned a terrifying blood red.
It was the afternoon, a workday, so there were many researchers in the institute, all of them cowering in fear inside the buildings.
Seeing these researchers, the Red Dragon Queen's hatred reached its peak.
Roar!
Massive breaths of Life Fire spewed from her mouth, rolling down the hill and quickly covering the entire institute.
In the flames, all the researchers and other personnel were burned to ashes, not even managing to let out a scream.
Plante's lips curled slightly.
But he had no intention of stopping.
The Dragon Clan was in a rage, so it was best to see what they would do before interfering.
...
While most of the Dragon Clan had descended into the city, a small part of the dragons remained in the sky.
This small part mostly consisted of Third and Fourth Rank juveniles and hatchlings, who couldn't help much in the battle and thus stayed in the air.
Taow and Jun Shi, under the guise of protecting the juveniles and hatchlings, also remained in the sky.
Of course, their main reason for staying in the sky was to prevent Zhong Feng from encountering danger.
Zhong Feng was now using all his magical power to activate the Stealth spell to its peak state, carefully hiding in the junction between Taow's dragon wings and body, terrified of being discovered by Plante below.
Fortunately, Plante's mental energy hadn't scanned in his direction, and his attention was entirely on the Dragon King, allowing Zhong Feng to breathe a sigh of relief.
Good thing he wasn't discovered by Plante; if he had been found standing on a Dragon Clan member, the trouble would have been immense!
...
The Dragon King's actions were swift.
When they were about five to six kilometers away from the "Dragon" hilltop, he used his own arcane energy to propel the Black Dragon King forward at an accelerated speed.
The Black Dragon King, aside from its breath attacks, relies entirely on physical assaults.
In the sky, it transforms into a massive black blade, slicing straight toward the summit of the "Dragonfront" hill.
Thud—
The entire hill, lacking any defensive measures, is cut like a tofu knife, with the "blade" slicing a huge gash through the hill, exposing its internal structure.
Dragon Emperor Cadrigus follows, extending his massive claws to tear the gash wider, allowing the other four Dragon Kings to smoothly enter the hill's interior.
Inside the vast hollow cavity of the hill, the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Kings immediately see the deceased Red Dragon King encased in a transparent top-layer jar.
The Red Dragon King's body has been completely hollowed out, with its valuable dragon horns, scales, and eyes all removed. It's now just an empty shell.
Beside it, two other elite sixth-stage dragons have also been thoroughly dissected.
Roar—
Roar—
Roar—
The sorrowful cries of the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Kings echo through the cavern.
The surrounding dragon army, affected by the scene, also wails continuously.
Some dragons, turning their grief into hatred, begin to recklessly destroy large buildings within the city.
High above, Plante stands dumbfounded, his face a mix of disbelief and awkwardness.
When his mental probe reached the inside of the hill, he was shocked to find a Red Dragon King's corpse inside! To be honest, Plante had no idea about this.
This was primarily orchestrated by the Sunlight Royal Family, and the Plante family had not been involved.
Even if the Plante family had been involved, Plante himself might not have known. He had stopped managing family affairs over six hundred years ago, leaving everything to his descendants.
Who could have done this? To capture a Red Dragon King, no less!
Plante immediately initiated a call to Manina.
Soon, the call connected.
"Manina! What's the deal with the Red Dragon King's corpse in the 'Dragonfront' research facility?" Plante roared, his dissatisfaction with Manina evident.
Why would your royal family hunt dragons for no reason? Is it really just about the money?
If this delays the acquisition of the "Final Secret Realm" slots or causes a divine-level power to fall unexpectedly in the chaos, can you take the responsibility?
However, Manina on the other end of the video call looked puzzled: "Red Dragon King? Red Dragon King's corpse? What Red Dragon King's corpse? I don't know anything about it!"
Manina had already decided to deny everything.
In black market operations like the "Dragonfront" research facility, the royal family typically leaves no trace.
The royal family is well aware that such exposure would be extremely troublesome.
So they had already destroyed all evidence. Now, by denying it, no one can do anything to them.
Seeing Manina's reaction, Plante immediately understood his intentions.
Clearly, Manina was planning to deny everything! Plante, of course, would not expose Manina. He was already thinking about how to cooperate with Manina to play this act well.
But upon hearing Manina's words, the Red Dragon Queen in the hill's interior couldn't remain silent.
"You're lying!" The Red Dragon Queen's roar immediately burst out, shaking the earth: "This happened right under your nose, and you claim to know nothing? How do you even rule as an emperor? Speak! Was it your royal family who did this?"
The Red Dragon Queen's sanity was completely gone, leaving only a seething rage.
