"Hehe …"
Looking at Xing Jue's surprised expression, Little Cong revealed a joyful expression. It seemed like she, who had been living in a half-beast, half-human form since she was young, was extremely happy to be able to transform into the appearance of a young girl. She couldn't hide the joy on her face.
"Xing Jue, this is Little Cong.
"The power contained in the Dragon Pearl is not to be underestimated. Even in our Dragon Guardian Clan, only those with extremely strong bloodline are allowed to touch it. Otherwise, they will suffer a backlash.
"Little Cong is the one with the strongest bloodline in our Dragon Guardian Clan. Therefore, Little Cong must follow you to the Towering Sky Region," said the Patriarch of the Dragon Guardian Clan with a smile on his face.
"Yes, that's fine as well." Upon seeing this, Xing Jue nodded his head in agreement. The three of them were always a little bored when it came to traveling, and having a little girl with them was a good thing.
After that, Xing Jue, the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise, the Patriarch of the Dragon Guardian Clan, and Little Cong headed toward the Asura Palace located at the center of the Towering Sky Region.
At this moment, Xing Jue and the other three were traveling at an extremely fast speed. Looking at the blue light streaking past them, Xing Jue's face was filled with amazement.
That was because Xing Jue was shocked to discover that under the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise's lead, the four of them were traveling at a much faster speed than when they were traveling through the Ancient Teleportation Array.
At this moment, Xing Jue finally realized how powerful a Battle Emperor was. It was no wonder that a Battle Emperor was said to be the pinnacle existence of this continent, a legend in many people's hearts. The power possessed by a Battle Emperor was definitely beyond the understanding of ordinary people. He could be considered as the God of this continent.
With the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise leading the way, it only took them two days to arrive at the center of the Towering Sky Region, the headquarters of the Asura Palace. "Ancient City."
"What's going on?"
However, when Xing Jue's group of four stepped out of the Space Tunnel and saw the ancient city in front of them, panic instantly appeared on Xing Jue's face. An indescribable uneasiness rose from the bottom of his heart.
This was because he discovered that the ancient city was in a terrible state. Countless palaces had collapsed, and some were even completely destroyed. Moreover, there were many members of the Asura Palace patrolling the city with injuries on their bodies. All these signs were enough to prove that the ancient city was most likely under attack.
"Whoosh."
After discovering this unforeseen event, Xing Jue's figure turned into a ray of light as he rapidly flew towards the ancient city's great hall. Seeing this, the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise and the patriarch of the Dragon Guardian Tribe followed closely behind.
"What's wrong? Is everyone here?"
However, when Xing Jue arrived at the great hall of the ancient city, he was shocked to discover that Old Cang, the Ying Huang, and the others who were supposed to be in the inner circle were all here. At this moment, Xing Jue's face turned grim. Since everyone was gathered here, it meant that something big must have happened in the ancient city.
"Xing Jue, you're back. You're back. "
"It's great that you're fine." When everyone saw Xing Jue, they were overjoyed. Some of them even had tears in their eyes.
"Panther King, what happened?"
"Where's Xiaolong? Why isn't he here? "
However, at this moment, Xing Jue suddenly discovered that Xiaolong, who was supposed to be in the ancient city, was not here. Immediately, Xing Jue rushed to the front of the crowd and asked anxiously.
"Lord Lian Tian, he … he was captured." Hearing Xing Jue's question, the Panther King answered nervously.
"What? Who took Xiaolong away? "
"What's going on? Tell me quickly. "
After hearing the Panther King's words, Xing Jue's body trembled and he asked anxiously. Not only Xing Jue, even the Dragon Guardian Tribe's Patriarch and the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise behind him frowned.
"Xing Jue, not long after you left for the Demon Refinement Tribe, the ancient city of the Asura Palace was attacked."
"The attackers were of unknown origin, and they seemed to be hiding their identities. All of them used a special method to conceal their faces."
"However, they are very powerful. Under their frenzied attacks, the ancient city suffered heavy casualties."
"However, just as the ancient city was about to be destroyed, Lord Lian Tian suddenly went crazy. He turned into a giant dragon!"
"It was a gigantic dark red dragon that was tens of thousands of feet long. A single movement of its body was enough to stir up a storm. At that moment, Lord Lian Tian's strength had multiplied, and he managed to kill all the invaders."
The Panther King slowly described the situation. When he mentioned that Xiaolong had turned into a real dragon, his face was filled with shock.
After hearing the Panther King's words, compared to Xing Jue, the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise and the Dragon Guardian Tribe's Patriarch were even more excited. They could tell from the Panther King's description that Xiaolong was the Heaven Refining Rogue Dragon they were looking for.
"Then, who was it that captured Xiaolong?"
Presumably, Xing Jue wasn't too surprised by Yu Xiaolong's transformation. Instead, he was extremely concerned about who had captured the little dragon. This was because the most important thing to Xing Jue wasn't the little dragon's strength, but its comfort.
"It's … it's the people from the Beast City." Hearing Xing Jue's question, the Panther King said with a frightened expression.
"What? Beast City? "
"Why would the people from the Beast City want to capture Xiaolong?" Xing Jue revealed a puzzled expression.
However, at this moment, the Yan Huang Demonic Tortoise behind Xing Jue slowly analyzed, "The Heaven Shackling Rogue Dragon has taken on a physical form, so its Divine Beast aura will naturally leak out. The Mystic Channel Ghostly Phoenix must have sensed the existence of the Heaven Shackling Rogue Dragon, so it sent people to capture the Heaven Shackling Rogue Dragon."
"Xing Jue, this, this is …"
After hearing the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise's words, other than the four people who came with Xing Jue, almost everyone present looked at the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise in shock.
This was because they had clearly heard the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise say that Xiaolong was a Divine Beast. They had never heard of this term before, but just from the name, they could guess that it was definitely not a simple existence.
When Old Cang and the others asked, Xing Jue roughly explained the identity of the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise and the Dragon Guardian Tribe's Patriarch, as well as the true form of Xiaolong to everyone. After listening to Xing Jue's explanation, everyone was completely shocked.
Especially the Panther King. At this moment, the way he looked at the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise was as if he was looking at his own ancestor. His dull eyes were filled with endless worship.
After talking for a while, Xing Jue also learned that everyone was not only worried about Xiaolong, they were also worried about him.
It turned out that when the ancient city was attacked, the Panther King immediately used the Communication Talisman to contact Xing Jue. However, he could not contact Xing Jue at all. Thinking about the situation of the Asura Palace being attacked, everyone suspected that Xing Jue had offended someone. Therefore, everyone suspected that Xing Jue might have met with a mishap.
As for why the Communication Talisman could not contact Xing Jue, the Patriarch of the Dragon Guardian Tribe gave a clear answer. That was because the Black Flame Barrier set up by Xing Jue's father, Dugu Changyi, could block all messages. Therefore, Xing Jue did not receive the Communication Talisman.
"Senior Yan Huang, if it is really as you said, and the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix has ill intentions, then it will definitely harm Xiaolong. If that is the case, isn't Xiaolong's current situation extremely dangerous?"
After understanding the matter in detail, Xing Jue cast his anxious gaze towards the Flame Huang Demon Tortoise.
The Flame Huang Demon Tortoise was not only a powerful expert that stood at the top of the continent, but also a Divine Beast that had lived for thousands of years. Moreover, he was the creator of the Beast City and the master of the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix. Therefore, the Flame Huang Demon Tortoise had the most right to speak at this moment.
"The Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix has the ambition to dominate the continent. Naturally, it will not allow the existence of a Divine Beast with a Divine Beast bloodline like the Sky Refining Rogue Dragon."
"However, the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix wants to obtain the power of the Sacred Beast Orb. This is not something that can be done in a year or two. Moreover, the Sacred Beast Orb is closely related to the Sky Refining Rogue Dragon. "
"Therefore, I feel that the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix will not kill the Sky Refining Rogue Dragon. Instead, it wants to unravel the secret between it and the Sacred Beast Orb."
"Fortunately, it does not know that the Sacred Beast Orb needs to be fused with the Dragon Orb in order to be refined. Therefore, it is almost impossible for it to unravel the secret between the two. This will give us a good opportunity to rescue the Sky Refining Rogue Dragon," the Flame Huang Demon Tortoise said slowly.
"Then Senior Yan Huang, what should we do next?" Xing Jue asked anxiously.
"Not only is the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix very shrewd, its current strength is probably not inferior to mine. Therefore, we cannot force it."
"However, I have an idea. That is, I will bring you into the Beast City. After all, I am its master. Even if it is in charge of the Beast City now and has strength no weaker than mine, it cannot not recognize me as its master."
"When the time comes, we can use the identity of a guest to find out where the Sky Refining Rogue Dragon is imprisoned. Once everything is clear, we can rescue the Sky Refining Rogue Dragon in one fell swoop." The Flame Huang Demon Tortoise explained to Xing Jue and the others.
"Mm, since that is the case, let's move now." After hearing the Flame Huang Demon Tortoise's plan, Xing Jue suddenly stood up and looked like he was ready to set off.
"Don't be hasty. Before that, we still need to make some preparations. This time, there won't be too many people. Three people will be enough."
However, just as Xing Jue stood up, the Flame Huang Demon Tortoise waved his hand, signaling Xing Jue not to be hasty. "Furthermore, this trip will definitely offend the Beast City. Therefore, we cannot let the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix know about your relationship with the Asura Palace. Otherwise, the Asura Palace will definitely be destroyed."
