Seeing that the situation was settled, Su Zimo recalled Liuding and Liujia Shen back to Beacon City.
"That's enough,"
Su Zimo came to monkey's side and called out.
Monkey was in the midst of killing when he was stopped by Su Zimo and was a little displeased.
However, he did not say anything and put away the Combat Imperial Weapon. Following beside Su Zimo and Long Ran, he bid farewell to Long Feng.
"Brother Su, thank you for your help this time round!"
Long Feng cupped his fists towards Su Zimo and thanked him. "If not for your help, the hundreds of thousands of Dragons in Beacon City would have been doomed!"
"Even I wouldn't have been able to escape death. From this day forth, you're my benefactor!"
Su Zimo replied, "You're too kind, City Lord. I merely did it in passing."
Although Su Zimo said it casually, Long Feng had a conflicted expression and chuckled bitterly.
He truly could not see through Su Zimo.
Indeed, Su Zimo had merely done it in passing and released a puppet secret skill with a casual roar.
However, more than ten kings were wiped out with just two moves!
"City Lord,"
Su Zimo pondered for a moment. "The sudden attack of the Tomb Realm army this time round is too strange. There's still no response from Illumination Dragon Planet. You should head back and take a look."
"There's no need,"
Long Feng waved it off with a firm expression. "Illumination Dragon Planet has the Illumination Dragon King and dozens of Dragon Kings guarding it. There won't be any major problems."
"Furthermore, I have to guard Beacon City and the formation core. I can't leave casually."
Pausing for a moment, Long Feng looked at the Tomb Realm army that was fleeing into the cosmos and said with a cold expression, "Furthermore, there are still ants that haven't been killed!"
Su Zimo frowned.
He had a feeling that the sudden arrival of the Tomb Realm army this time round was not as simple as it seemed.
The Tomb Realm belonged to the alliance army of Wutong World.
Logically speaking, Wutong World should be the main force in such a war.
In this surprise attack on Beacon City, why didn't the Wutong World and the Blood World, these super large worlds, show up? Not even a single cultivator was present?
Under the situation where Candle Dragon Planet could provide reinforcements at any time, only a dozen or so Kings came to attack Beacon City.
Even if they could take it down, the Dragons would be able to take back Beacon City at any time. What was the use of such a surprise attack?
Su Zimo vaguely felt that something was wrong, but seeing that Long Feng had already made up his mind, and that he was an outsider, it was not good for him to persuade him.
"Brother Su, don't worry."
Long Feng seemed to notice Su Zimo's worries and said, "These corpse herders from the Tomb Realm are probably here to test the waters."
"In a while, I'll send a few people back to Candle Dragon and report the situation here. As long as Candle Dragon is on guard, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Long Li said in a deep voice, "City Lord, I'm going to Torch Dragon Planet to take a look at the situation there. If there is any news, I'll send you a message at any time."
"That's even better."
Long Feng nodded. "I still don't have enough manpower here. This saves me the trouble of sending more people over."
The teleportation formation in Beacon City had to be repaired and he had to hunt down the fleeing Tomb Realm army.
He had to check the Coiling Dragon Formation personally to see if there was anything wrong with it.
"Brother Su, are you guys leaving as well?"
Long Li looked at Su Zimo.
Initially, Su Zimo and the other two were prepared to leave. However, such an unforeseen event caused them to stay until now.
Now that the situation in Beacon City was settled, Su Zimo was prepared to leave.
However, when he heard that Long Li wanted to head to Candle Dragon Planet, he frowned and hesitated.
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "I'll accompany you to Candle Dragon Planet. The teleportation formation is broken. I can tear through the void and bring you over. That'll save you a lot of time."
"We can leave at any time. It won't make a difference."
"Sure!"
Long Li smiled. "If you guys accompany me to Candle Dragon Planet, we can meet the Candle Dragon King together. He'll definitely thank you handsomely when he finds out about this. Don't decline when the time comes. "
Su Zimo merely smiled faintly and did not comment.
There were some things that he did not say explicitly.
Long Feng sent a message to Candle Dragon Planet but there was no reply. In his opinion, there were only two possibilities.
First, there was something wrong with the message talisman.
Second, there was something wrong with Candle Dragon Planet.
Su Zimo did not want to be involved in the war between the dragons and phoenixes. However, he was still worried about Long Li after knowing her for so many years and offered to send her back.
If nothing happened on Candle Dragon Planet, it would not be too late for them to leave.
"Brother Su, thank you for your trouble."
Long Feng cupped his fists and bade farewell to Su Zimo. Thereafter, he turned around and led the Dragons army to hunt down the remaining Tomb Realm cultivators in Beacon City.
Su Zimo swiped his hand casually through the void and created a gap, leading monkey, Long Ran and Long Li into the spatial tunnel.
In less than ten breaths, the four of them arrived near Candle Dragon Planet.
From the outside, there was nothing unusual about Candle Dragon Planet.
The moment the four of them appeared, a dragon king on Candle Dragon Planet sensed them and soared into the air, arriving before them in the blink of an eye.
"Outsiders!"
When the dragon king caught sight of Su Zimo and monkey, his expression turned cold and his eyes shone with killing intent – he was about to kill them!
"Fire Dragon King!"
Seeing that the situation was bad, Long Li could not be bothered about etiquette and hollered hurriedly, "They're the benefactors of us Dragons. How dare you!"
"Benefactors?"
The Fire Dragon King raised his brow and swept his spirit consciousness across Su Zimo and monkey's spirit consciousness. Immediately after, he sneered, "How can a human and monkey be worthy of being the benefactors of Dragons?"
Long Li shouted, "Earlier on, Beacon City was ambushed by the Tomb Realm. If not for Brother Su and Brother Yuan, hundreds of thousands of people would have been slaughtered mercilessly. Isn't that a favor to the Dragons?"
"Hmm?"
The Fire Dragon King narrowed his gaze and his expression changed. "How did you guys know that the Tomb Realm ambushed Beacon City?"
Long Li replied, "We came from Beacon City."
Right from the beginning, Su Zimo had not said a single word.
However, at that moment, he suddenly asked, "You didn't know that Beacon City was ambushed?"
"I didn't know."
After a moment of hesitation, the Fire Dragon King replied coldly.
Su Zimo was expressionless and merely looked at him deeply.
The Fire Dragon King was not telling the truth.
If he did not know that Beacon City was ambushed and suddenly heard Long Li say that, he should have asked about how Beacon City was doing and what was going on with the Tomb Realm ambushing.
However, what he was most concerned about was how Long Li knew about it.
That reaction proved that he already knew about it!
When he heard Long Li say that they had just come from Beacon City, a look of surprise flashed through the Fire Dragon King's eyes.
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I want to see the Illumination Dragon King!"
Long Li harrumphed softly before suddenly sending a voice transmission to the Illumination Dragon Planet, shouting, "Illumination Dragon King, Li 'er requests an audience!"
Su Zimo praised internally.
Long Li was smart and should have sensed that something was amiss as well.
At that moment, the Fire Dragon King suddenly smiled.
"Li 'er, come over."
Right then, an old voice sounded from the depths of the Illumination Dragon Planet.
When Long Li heard that voice, he heaved a sigh of relief and nodded towards Su Zimo.
