"Long Zhu, don't be unreasonable,"
When he saw Long Zhong's terrible expression and fuming with anger, Fourth Elder of the Candle Dragons coughed gently and reprimanded him symbolically.
Although combat strength reigned supreme among Dragons, there was a strict hierarchy as well.
Even if Su Zimo was the young master of the Candle Dragons, he could not provoke an elder of the Candle Dragons in such a manner.
Of course, if he was the young master of the Candle Dragons, his status would be even higher than some elders of the Dragons!
"How lawless!"
Long Zhong took a deep breath of air and glared at Su Zimo, saying coldly, "Long Zhu, your identity is unknown and your background is unknown. Your bloodline is impure and you only arrived here 10 years ago. If we're talking about outsiders, I think you're the one! "
If those words were said 10 years ago, it might have caused quite a stir.
But in the past 10 years, Su Zimo had already gained a foothold among the Dragons!
He was the young master of the Candle Dragon Clan, the number one of the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
Who would believe that he was an outsider now?
Some of the Candle Dragons pouted their lips in disdain when they saw Long Zhong's flustered expression.
Sensing the gazes around him, Long Zhong was even more enraged as he questioned loudly, "Long Zhu, let me ask you! Even if he attacked first, why didn't you show mercy and stop when it's appropriate?! "
"Oh?"
Su Zimo raised his brow and asked instead, "Elder Long Zhong, you actually want me to stop when an outsider suddenly went on a killing spree?"
A series of chuckles sounded from the dragons.
To be fair, as long as Wu Li was the one who attacked first, Su Zimo would have the upper hand!
"Even Dragons are not allowed to use Essence Spirit secret skills in their habitats, let alone outsiders."
Su Zimo continued, "Everyone knows that Essence Spirit secret skills are extremely dangerous! I don't know how to stop when it's appropriate for an Essence Spirit fight. Elder Long Zhong, can you teach me? "
"You …"
Long Zhong narrowed his eyes and a killing intent shone in the depths of his eyes!
"Forget it, let's not argue for now. “
An elder from the Dragons stepped forward to mediate the situation. "Let's think about how we should deal with this matter."
"What can we do?"
Long Zhong snorted coldly and said, "As the young master of the Witch race, Wu Li has a noble bloodline and a noble status. Now that he's dead, there must be a mighty figure in the Witch race who can deduce where he died. We Dragons can't escape responsibility!"
"When the time comes, if the Sorcerer Tribe comes to question us, we might as well hand Long Zhu over. A life for a life!"
Hearing this, the Fourth Elder of the Candle Dragons frowned and said decisively, "No!"
The gaze of the Black Dragon people's Elders would occasionally glance at Long Cang, who was on the ground.
Long Cang's cultivation base might not be old, but as the only Five-Clawed Divine Dragon among the Dragons, his words carried as much weight as the Black Dragon people's elders!
However, right from the beginning, Long Cang did not express his opinion and merely listened quietly with an indifferent expression.
Therefore, the Black Dragon people's Elders did not say anything as well.
The Elder of the Candle Dragons nodded. "That's right. If we hand Long Zhu over, it would seem as though we Dragons are afraid of the Witch race instead. "
"Furthermore, the young master of the Witch race was in the wrong in this matter to begin with."
No matter how they looked at it, there was something fishy about this matter.
However, the elders could not figure out the crux of the matter.
"No matter what, Long Zhu attacked recklessly and killed the young master of the Witch race. We can't let this matter go just like that! There has to be an explanation! "
Long Zhong was still holding on to Su Zimo.
The Fourth Elder of the Candle Dragons nodded. "That's right. He should be punished and learn a lesson!"
"That's right!"
Long Zhong nodded repeatedly. "He has to be severely punished!"
Pausing for a moment, he could not help but send a voice transmission, "Why don't we get him to hand over the Barren and Reverse Scale secret skills?"
As though he did not hear anything, the Fourth Elder of the Candle Dragons said in a deep voice, "Long Zhu, you're too reckless and sharp. You've caused a huge disaster this time round. I'll punish you to face the wall in your cave and reflect on your mistakes. You're not allowed to come out of seclusion before you cultivate to the perfected Void Reversion realm!"
When he heard that, Su Zimo was slightly stunned. However, he reacted quickly and chuckled internally, cupping his fists. "Understood!"
How was that a punishment?
For most Dragons, they spent most of their time in seclusion in their caves as well.
Furthermore, rather than a punishment, this action was more of a form of protection.
This time round, the death of the young master of the Witch race would definitely cause quite a stir.
Letting Su Zimo enter seclusion was equivalent to letting him avoid this storm.
By the time he cultivated to the perfected Void Reversion realm, received the baptism of the Ancestral Dragon Divine Pillar, entered the Dharma Characteristic realm and comprehended his innate divine powers, this storm would have long been forgotten.
The elders present exchanged glances – how could they not understand the deeper meaning behind this?
However, the elders had a tacit understanding and did not say anything.
Long Zhong was the only one who had a dark expression as he nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, good! This punishment is truly fair! "
With that said, Long Zhong flicked his sleeves and left without even looking at Su Zimo.
The remaining four elders also left one after another.
Just as Su Zimo was about to turn and leave, he realized that Long Cang had been watching him from afar with a fake smile. His gaze was deep, as though he could see through all of Su Zimo's thoughts.
"What's the matter?"
Su Zimo raised his brow slightly.
Long Cang strode over and only stopped when he stood in front of Su Zimo.
Long Cang was even taller than Su Zimo by a head!
Looking down at Su Zimo from above, he smirked and said softly in an inaudible voice, "Your plan is perfect. However, there are still two flaws."
"Oh?"
Su Zimo's expression was unchanged.
Long Cang said, "Firstly, Wu Li wanted to see me initially but you suddenly stopped him. Thereafter, he died. That's not a coincidence."
Su Zimo did not say anything and there was no fluctuation in his eyes – he looked calm.
Long Cang was not bothered when he saw that Su Zimo had no reaction and continued, "Secondly, Wu Li did attack you first. However, before he did, you did something."
Pausing for a moment, Long Cang leaned forward slightly and the smile in his eyes deepened as he said softly, "You took off your mask!"
When he heard that, Su Zimo smiled.
He had to admit that Long Cang was indeed powerful!
The two of them had only met for the first time but this person had already displayed shocking insight.
Although he was not present and was only listening to the narration of others, he caught onto two flaws that were difficult to detect in the entire matter!
Su Zimo did not comment and raised his head slightly, meeting Long Cang's gaze calmly.
Long Cang said, "At first glance, those two flaws don't seem like much. However, if you think about it carefully, there's more to it. "
"Initially, you stopped Wu Li with the Blazing Moon Mask. Therefore, the two of you could chat casually. However, the moment you took off your mask, Wu Li suddenly activated his Essence Spirit secret skill on you. "
"Hmm … let me guess. The two of you should know each other to begin with and have a deep feud. At the very least, Wu Li is very afraid of you. "
"Therefore, you met him with a mask and lured him away. The moment you took off your mask, Wu Li thought that you were going to kill him. He was extremely frightened and in his fluster, he activated his Essence Spirit secret skill! "
"This is the worst choice he's ever made! A single wrong step and he would be smashed to pieces! "
"If he didn't make a move, you wouldn't have dared to make a move. However, the moment he made a move, he would have fallen into your trap and given you a reason to attack! "
Long Cang smiled gently and asked word by word, "Long Zhu, am I right?"
