… …
The Ancestral Dragon City stood on a vast and fertile plain. Three snow-covered rivers flowed from the mountain range in the distance. They passed by countless villages, towns, and cities before finally converging at the silver-gray Ancestral Dragon City!
The city was divided into two parts, separated by a majestic silver-gray city wall.
The most shocking part of the Ancestral Dragon City was this city wall. The moment they flew into the Green Ink Plain, they felt as if they were witnessing an ancient dragon crawling on the horizon.
"Legend has it that the Ancestral Dragon City was formed from the body of an Ancestral Dragon. Seeing it today, it's not a lie!" Zhu Minglang sighed with emotion in his heart.
Seeing the Ancestral Dragon City, Li Yunzi's depression didn't dissipate much. Moreover, when she thought of the people who knew her well, she felt suffocated again.
"Miss Yunzi, you don't have to worry about that matter. I have silenced all of them." Luo Xiao seemed to have seen through Li Yunzi's complicated feelings and showed her special consideration.
Li Yunzi didn't reply.
After slightly adjusting her emotions, Li Yunzi's eyes regained the luster of cold stars and frost. She said indifferently, "Let's go."
… …
Li Family and Nan Family.
These two famous families had ruled the Ancestral Dragon City for a long time. When Zhu Minglang heard the name of the Valkyrie, he knew her background.
No wonder she could rule Eternal City for a year in such a chaotic wasteland. Her background must be unfathomable.
But why was she overthrown in a single night?
Escorting him all the way, he was trembling with fear. The mission was finally completed but Zhu Minglang could not leave for the time being.
The Li Family's Imperial Courtyard was imposing and glorious. Unfortunately, they didn't return with honor.
The three of them waited quietly in a spacious city hall decorated with pear wood. Zhu Minglang and Luo Xiao stood a few steps behind Li Yunzi. Li Yunzi stood there and faced a thin middle-aged man with a long beard sitting on the main seat of the hall.
There was a woman beside the man. She had an outstanding temperament and was dignified and elegant. She poured a cup of tea for the thin man with a long beard.
"Master, don't be angry. It's fine as long as he's back," the woman said gently.
"Pa!!!" The long bearded man slapped the teacup down.
The sharp pieces of porcelain flew over and scattered around Li Yunzi's feet. One of them even bounced off the marble floor and mercilessly slashed across the side of Li Yunzi's face.
A streak of bright red blood appeared on her cheek, and blood was seeping out.
However, Li Yunzi simply stood there without the slightest intention of dodging.
"If it were any other son or daughter of our Li Clan, they would have chosen to commit suicide at a place of worship. That way, they would barely be able to save some face for you and our Li Clan!" The middle-aged man said with an indifferent expression.
"My Lord, this subordinate has clearly burned Eternal City to the ground. How did this matter reach the city-state so quickly?" Luo Xiao asked in disbelief.
"Is it your turn to speak?" Family Head Li glared at Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao hurriedly knelt down and didn't dare to raise his head.
As if he had an innate fear of the Li Clan's Master, the ambitious and arrogant Luo Xiao didn't dare to have any intention of being rash.
"If you can't even protect your own reputation, how will you protect this besieged Ancestral Dragon City in the future?!" Family Head Li said angrily.
Li Yunzi still didn't say anything.
Seeing her silence, Family Head Li became even more furious …
But soon, the Li Family's Master suppressed the anger that surged up his throat.
"No matter what, Yunzi has contributed a lot to our city-state and expanded our territory. Although her reputation is in tatters now, she still has the dignity of a commander," the woman persuaded.
"What dignity of a commander? Moreover, the soldiers under her title of Her Highness will have to bear this humiliation with her. The title of Her Highness will disappear from now on. Your soldiers will be scattered to other camps and continue to guard the battlefield in the west. Nan Lingsha will also be the successor of Ancestral Dragon Goddess. You will be confined in the palace and won't be allowed to see anyone! "Family Head Li's eyes were cold when he said this.
"Master, Nan Lingsha will be affected as her sister. Why don't we call her back too …" The woman seemed to want to say something.
"Nan Lingsha is Nan Lingsha, Li Yunzi is Li Yunzi. If anyone dares to implicate Nan Lingsha in this matter, cut off their tongue, no matter who they are!" Family Head Li said.
"I will carry out this order," the woman replied.
"Luo Xiao." Only then did the Li Clan's Patriarch look at him.
"Your sinful servant is here!" Luo Xiao hurriedly knelt down and didn't dare to raise his head.
"Your dragon is the Gilt Fire Dragon?" Family Head Li asked.
"Gilt Fire Dragon? Master, it's a dragon that has the potential to become a Dragon Lord. Its bloodline and attributes are outstanding. If it can show its loyalty … "The woman seemed surprised.
"It's indeed a rare dragon. I didn't expect you to have such a shocking encounter after leaving the Li Clan. You've done well this time. Let the refugees in the Wasteland know that they can't just trample on the people of the Li Clan! "Family Head Li said.
"I've made a mistake and was exiled. I regret it, but my heart has always been with the Li Clan. I happened to be training in the Wasteland after I became a dragon master. I immediately went to the Young Mistress when I learned that she was in trouble. Unfortunately, I was too late. Please don't blame the Young Mistress. I wasn't decisive enough. I should have destroyed the surrounding towns too. That way, the news wouldn't spread to the city, "Luo Xiao expressed his loyalty.
Family Head Li nodded. He was quite satisfied with Luo Xiao's ruthlessness.
"Come under my command. The Gilt Fire Dragon is indeed a dragon with great potential, but it needs a lot of resources and guidance from a famous teacher … As long as you're loyal enough, I promise you that you'll shine brightly in the future!" Family Head Li said.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!" Luo Xiao couldn't hide his excitement. He kowtowed again to express his gratitude!
Shine brightly!
What he, Luo Xiao, wanted was this boundless radiance!
He didn't want to be some Dragon Master in the Wasteland. He wanted to be a supreme being in the Ancestral Dragon City, which had everything!
…
Zhu Minglang had been practicing how to answer the cold and domineering Family Head Li's question countless times. He even thought of many vague words to cover his identity.
In the end, Zhu Minglang realized that the Family Head Li didn't take him seriously at all.
He didn't even look at him, let alone ask him questions.
This made Zhu Minglang feel a little bitter. There had been many experts who pointed at his nose and said that this person's appearance was not ordinary and that he would be a dragon among men in the future. How could he be so plain and transparent after just a few years of wandering??
