Long Li brought Su Zimo, monkey and Long Ran to the Illumination Dragon Star and headed straight for the palace of the Illumination Dragon King.
The Flame Dragon King did not stop them and merely hung behind the four of them with a mocking smile.
Su Zimo frowned slightly in deep thought.
"Brother Su, there should be something wrong with the Flame Dragon King."
Right then, Long Li sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, "I suspect that he was the one who intercepted the message of the City Lord of Dragon Beacon City!"
"But why?"
There was a hint of confusion in Long Li's voice. "Why would the Flame Dragon King do that? Why would he betray his own race? Could he have some difficulties? "
Long Li was still unwilling to believe it.
Su Zimo said, "Everything will be clear when we meet the Illumination Dragon King."
Before long, Su Zimo's group of four arrived before the Illumination Dragon Palace.
The moment they entered the hall, they felt a heatwave surge towards them.
This majestic hall was built above the crater of a volcano. Boiling lava flowed beneath their feet, bubbling with boiling hot air. Giant rocks floated on top of it.
In the middle of the hall sat a red-robed old man with a head of scarlet hair and graying temples.
However, the red-robed old man sat in the middle with a burning gaze and a dignified aura. Under the illumination of the lava beneath his feet, his face was flushed and it was clear that he was still in peak condition.
Long Li's group of four stood on a gigantic rock and floated forward slowly against the flow of lava.
The Flame Dragon King did not follow them in and merely stood at the entrance of the hall.
"Li 'er greets the Illumination Dragon King."
Long Li went forward and bowed.
As the supreme True Spirit of Dragons and her mother was the Nightmare Dragon King who was on equal footing with the Illumination Dragon King, Long Li was naturally familiar with her.
"There's no need for formalities."
The Illumination Dragon King nodded slightly before turning to look at Su Zimo and monkey.
"Another race?"
The Illumination Dragon King murmured with an expressionless face.
"I am Su Zimo. Greetings, Torch Dragon King."
Su Zimo greeted him calmly, neither servile nor overbearing.
Torch Dragon King did not respond and only glanced at Su Zimo indifferently.
Su Zimo smiled indifferently, not minding it at all.
Although there was a difference in status between the two of them, he was still a Cave Heavenly King. It was understandable for him to greet Torch Dragon King simply. There was no need for him to bow.
When Monkey saw this, he was displeased. He chuckled and did not even bother to greet him.
Since you were rude first, I don't care who you are.
Long Ran was a Dragon after all. He was worried that Su Zimo and Ye Zichen would offend Torch Dragon King because of this, so he hurriedly went forward to kneel and pay his respects.
Long Li also stepped forward and said, "Candle Dragon King, a dozen Kings of the Tomb Realm led an army of millions and just attacked Beacon City. Fortunately, Brother Su and the others helped and Beacon City didn't fall."
"Oh?"
When Torch Dragon King heard that, his expression finally changed as he asked, "That ordinary human King can defend against more than ten Kings of the Tomb Realm and defend Beacon City?"
"It's absolutely true!"
Long Li said in a deep voice, "When the incident happened, the Lord of Dragon Beacon City sent a message back immediately. However, Torch Dragon Planet doesn't seem to have received any news."
At that point, Long Li looked at Torch Dragon King.
That was actually a question. However, the Torch Dragon King was expressionless and silent.
Long Li took a deep breath of air. "Li 'er suspects that someone on Torch Dragon Planet intercepted the news of the Lord of Dragon Beacon City and concealed the information!"
As he said that, Long Li looked at the Flame Dragon King who was guarding the entrance of the hall and grit his teeth. "Torch Dragon King, Li 'er suspects that this matter has something to do with you. I hope you can understand!"
"Fufu …"
When the Flame Dragon King heard Long Li's accusation, he merely chuckled and did not panic at all. In fact, he did not even refute.
When Su Zimo saw that, he narrowed his eyes.
Initially, he thought that the Flame Dragon King revealed a flaw because he was careless previously.
It was only at this moment that he was certain that the Flame Dragon King seemed to be fearless!
What was he relying on?
Su Zimo's heart sank when he thought of a possibility.
However, he was expressionless and did not reveal anything unusual.
Right then, the Torch Dragon King said slowly, "Li 'er, you suspected your own clansmen immediately after such a huge incident. Yet, you didn't suspect the two foreign races beside you?"
"Ah?
Stunned for a moment, Long Li said instinctively, "Brother Su and the others are my friends. It's also thanks to Brother Su's help that we were able to protect Beacon City this time round. Why would I suspect them?"
"Li 'er, you're still too naive."
The Torch Dragon King shook his head gently. "The appearance of the two foreign races in Beacon City coincided with the Tomb Realm's sudden attack. Is that a coincidence?"
"Those who aren't of our race definitely have ulterior motives! How many foreign races have betrayed us over the years?! Li 'er, you've already invited a wolf into your house and you don't even know it! "
Long Li looked at the Torch Dragon King in disbelief and argued, "That's impossible! I witnessed the battle earlier on with my own eyes. There's no way Brother Su and the others have anything to do with the Tomb Realm! "
"Torch Dragon King, are you suspecting me?"
Long Li was both angry and annoyed. He was a little anxious.
The Torch Dragon King said indifferently, "I'm not suspecting you. It's just that you're too young and inexperienced. It's easy for you to be bewitched by foreign races. Furthermore, what you see might not be true. "
Long Li was a Dragon after all and there were some things that she might not have thought of.
Or rather, she might not have dared to think in that direction.
However, as an outsider, Su Zimo was already suspecting the Torch Dragon King!
If the Torch Dragon King did not know that the news was intercepted by the Flame Dragon King, his performance earlier on was way too calm.
It was way too abnormal for him to be completely unconcerned about his clansmen when he heard that Beacon City was attacked and almost lost.
If the Flame Dragon King was relying on the Torch Dragon King, then the Flame Dragon King's earlier performance would be easy to explain.
Of course, even Su Zimo could not believe it and could not understand why the infamous Torch Dragon King, one of the five Dragon Kings of the Three Thousand Worlds, would betray the Dragon King!
If even an outsider like him could have such a feeling, there was no way Long Li could have imagined it.
That was way too bold of an idea.
Long Li was still trying her best to argue. In fact, she was a little annoyed as she shouted, "Torch Dragon King, not all foreign races have ulterior motives!"
"If you don't believe me, recall the City Lord of Dragon Beacon City right now. He'll naturally explain to you!"
Monkey could not listen any longer and was fuming with anger. He scratched his ears and cheeks in discomfort.
Suddenly, Su Zimo spoke loudly, "Since the Torch Dragon King doesn't believe me, we'll be asking for trouble if we stay here. Farewell."
Thereafter, Su Zimo sent a voice transmission to Long Li with his spirit consciousness, "Long Li, leave right now and return to the Hornless Dragon Star to look for your mother. Tell her everything that happened today, including everything that happened in the Torch Dragon Grand Hall!"
Su Zimo's tone was grim with a hint of urgency.
Long Li could not help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard the hidden meaning in his words.
Right then, an indifferent voice drifted over from the grand hall.
"Who allowed you to leave?"
