Chapter 1315: Chapter 721: Ancestral Dragon_2 Chapter 1315: Chapter 721: Ancestral Dragon_2 The City Lord gently knocked on the door, and from inside came Lord Dragon's deep voice, “What is it?”
The City Lord replied respectfully, “Lord Dragon, we have brought a Flood Dragon who escaped from the Ancient Barrier. He has some important matters to discuss with you. Are you available to meet with him now?”
There was silence for a moment, then Lord Dragon's voice came again, “Let him in.”
Hearing this, the City Lord opened the door and walked in with the man and the Flood Dragon. Inside the secret room, Lord Dragon was sitting quietly on a cushion, meditating with his eyes closed. His aura was so powerful that it commanded respect.
Seeing Lord Dragon, the Flood Dragon's eyes flickered with reverence and anticipation. He knew that his future fate might well be in the hands of this great figure. Thus, he respectfully began, “Lord Dragon, I am a Flood Dragon who escaped from the Ancient Barrier. Our lord was persecuted by the human race and has fallen to this place. We heard that there is a Bodhi Tree in the Spirit World that we wish to seek out to regain our strength. Would you be willing to collaborate with us?”
Lord Dragon slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was profound and wise, as if he could see through everything. He glanced at the Flood Dragon, then spoke slowly, “Collaborate? That will depend on what you can offer me. However, since you wish to go to the Spirit World, perhaps we can go together. After all, I am quite interested in that Bodhi Tree.”
Hearing this, the Flood Dragon's heart leapt with joy. He knew that he had taken the first step toward regaining his power. And now, they would journey together with Lord Dragon to the Spirit World, in search of the legendary Bodhi Tree and the endless vitality it held.
In the dark and mysterious depths of the Demon Clan Palace, Logan was meditating with his eyes closed, focusing on his cultivation. He was in a room made of obsidian, where the walls inlaid with demon crystals emitted a faint glow, adding a strangely beautiful light to the dim space. Logan's breath was even and deep, each breath seeming to engage in a subtle exchange with the surrounding Demonic Qi.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed as he sensed two unusual fluctuations originating from the outside. One was unfamiliar and powerful, carrying an indescribable oppression; the other wave, though, felt oddly familiar as if he had intersected with it in a distant moment.
Logan slowly opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils shimmering with curiosity and confusion. He blinked, trying to capture more information about that familiar fluctuation, but unfortunately, it seemed to have only briefly lingered before disappearing without a trace.
Just then, the City Lord's voice came from outside the secret room, breaking the silence, “Lord, my subordinate has hurried back from outside, claiming to have urgent matters to discuss with you. Are you available now?”
Logan's heart stirred. He faintly felt that this subordinate who suddenly requested a meeting might have some connection with the familiar fluctuation he had just felt. Thus, he nodded and responded tersely, “Let them in. I would like to see who it is.”
Following the City Lord's command, the stone door of the secret room slowly opened, and a figure walked in. Following him was another demon race member whom Logan did not recognize. As they stepped into the secret room, they immediately felt the unique atmosphere of the place. The entire room was filled with pure, rich Demonic Qi, unlike any they had encountered before.
The unfamiliar demon race member's eyes flashed with surprise; he clearly had not expected to find such a place filled with Demonic Qi deep in the Demon Clan Palace. Meanwhile, the subordinate who had requested the meeting looked around searchingly, as if he were looking for something.
They approached Logan and bowed respectfully. One of the subordinates spoke, “My lord, I am a subordinate of the City Lord, named XXX. I have specifically come because I have discovered some important information that may be related to you.”
Logan slightly raised an eyebrow and gestured for him to continue. XXX took a deep breath and started recounting everything he had experienced, including the familiar yet powerful fluctuation he felt in the outside world and how he suspected that this fluctuation was connected to Lord Logan.
As XXX narrated, Logan's frown grew deeper. His curiosity and doubts sprouted wildly like weeds, and he began to realize that the fluctuation mentioned by his subordinate was probably of the same origin as the familiar fluctuation he had once felt. And all of this seemed to foreshadow that something important was about to happen…
In the grand and magnificent palace of the Demon Clan, the lights were bright, and the decor was splendid. In the center of the great hall, Logan sat on a throne crafted from obsidian, surrounded by a faint aura of Demonic Qi, looking majestic and mysterious. His eyes, like stars in the abyss, twinkled with wisdom and power. At that moment, his gaze was fixed on the palace door, where two demon soldiers stood, their eyes shining, clearly full of anticipation for what was about to occur.
“My lord, this is our Standard General, undefeated in a hundred battles!” one soldier announced loudly, his tone filled with admiration and pride for the general. As he finished speaking, another soldier led in a massive Flood Dragon, which slowly stepped into the hall. The Flood Dragon radiated a faint luster, its scales shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight, clearly extraordinary.
“This is the Flood Dragon he has specially invited, which once had significant relations with our Demon Clan,” the soldier continued, his eyes conveying a hint of hope, seemingly eager for Logan to accept the Flood Dragon.
However, at the sight of the Flood Dragon, Logan's expression suddenly turned sharp. He squinted, with the memory of their last conflict flashing through his mind. During that encounter, he had intended to capture the Flood Dragon but had unexpectedly let it escape. Now, daring to appear so boldly before him, Logan's fury was instantly ignited.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening from the force, emitting a faint sound. Sensing something amiss with Logan, the surrounding demon soldiers turned to look at the Flood Dragon, speculating about the past grudge between it and their lord.
“Hmph, so it's you, you monster!” Logan finally spoke, his voice as cold as a chilling wind, carrying an undeniable authority, “Last time you managed to escape by chance, yet today you dare to walk into the trap yourself!”
The Flood Dragon, startled by these words, kept a calm exterior. It knew its purpose for coming today was to seek the protection of the Demon Clan against the tyranny of the human race. Thus, it respectfully bowed its head, speaking sincerely, “My lord, I have come here truly wishing to join the Demon Clan. I know there were some misunderstandings between us before, but please believe, I come with genuine intentions this time.”
Logan scoffed, “Genuine intentions? You, a monster, dare talk about sincerity? Nonetheless, since you dare come today, state your reasons for wishing to join the Demon Clan. If you can convince me, perhaps I will give you an opportunity.”
The Flood Dragon was overjoyed upon hearing this, realizing it was its only chance. It then began detailing its grievances with the human race and the significant importance of the Demon Clan to it. Its words were earnest, emotions genuine, moving the demon soldiers present.
As Logan listened to the Flood Dragon's recount, the cold look in his eyes gradually softened. After a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke, “Very well, I will give you an opportunity.
