Just one sentence from Bai Ting Count was enough to shatter anyone's naive fantasies about dragons!
Many people would think that dragons were noble, tolerant, loving, and mysterious.
Of course, they were indeed noble and mysterious, but they also meant destruction.
There were dragons in both Eastern and Western legends.
Although dragons in Eastern legends were not benevolent, they possessed the magnanimity of gods and soared above the nine heavens.
As for dragons in Western legends, they represented fire, death, cruelty, and coldness.
No one knew which type of dragon Jiang Li hatched, because the definition of these two types of dragons was completely based on Earth's legends.
But at least this dragon was very cruel, terrifying, and incomparably powerful.
A city with a population of more than two hundred thousand was definitely considered a big city, but it was easily destroyed by it. More than two hundred thousand people were turned into ashes.
This was more terrifying than any Dragon's Regret.
… …
There were no flying mounts in Bi Jin City. Ancestor Luo brought more than ten with him.
When Bai Ting Count landed on the ground, Shen Lang and Duke Debus had already walked out of the room. He couldn't help but be startled. He then knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
At this moment, Bai Ting Count's attitude was much more respectful than a few years ago, even though he had already respected Shen Lang many years ago.
It could be seen how important strength was. Bai Ting Count was a true gentleman, but it was inevitable that his attitude would change.
Previously, he respected Shen Lang because he was Vice Empress Helen's younger brother. Now, his attitude was respectful because Shen Lang had the true Da Qian Empire behind him.
Shen Lang said, "Bai Ting Count, please explain in detail."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Ting Count said, "About half a month ago, this piece of land was already abnormal. There were frequent earthquakes, so the Empress and Ancestor Luo felt that this might be related to the descent of dragons. So, the Duke sent more than ten of the strongest warriors under my leadership to follow the Empress to the northwest to find the source of the earthquakes. "
Shen Lang nodded.
This deduction was very reasonable. After a dragon swallowed enough energy, it would fall into a period of sleep and complete its transformation.
Once the transformation was complete, it would split open the ground and emerge.
Normally, it would choose to sleep underground or in the depths of the sea.
When it woke up, it tore a huge crack in the ground and caused an earthquake.
Bai Ting Count said: "We flew all the way, looking for the source of the earthquake, but we found that it was getting more and more frequent. In the end, there was a strong earthquake near An Xi City, so we flew there as fast as we could. But when we were less than a hundred miles away, we saw an unprecedented scene … "
Speaking of this, Count Bai Ting felt like he was suffocating and trembling. It was obvious that the scene had brought unprecedented shock to his soul.
"At that time, a beam of light suddenly burst out from the ground, and then the entire sky and earth were engulfed by terrifying green flames."
"We couldn't see anything, not even the silhouette of the giant dragon. We could only see the earth-shattering explosion, the terrifying energy that could destroy heaven and earth, and the monstrous flames that instantly enveloped the entire Resting City. Even if we were hundreds of miles away, we could still see it clearly."
Shen Lang was surprised: "Wasn't it a dragon spitting fire in the sky?"
"No …" Bai Ting Count said: "We were too far away, so we couldn't see it clearly. And it was night time, the only thing we saw was the flames, the flames that could destroy heaven and earth, just like the Regret of the Dragon used in the eastern world war."
Shen Lang couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
This giant dragon was much stronger than the one in Game of Thrones.
Bai Ting Count said: "We flew as fast as we could, but when we were a few dozen miles away, all the mounts stopped, they didn't dare to get close, they couldn't even fly, they were completely squatting on the ground, shivering. We had no choice but to get off our mounts and run on the ground. "
"By the time we reached An Xi City, even the flames had been extinguished, because there was nothing left to burn, all the rocks had melted, the whole city was not only in ruins, but also filled with magma. As for the people in the city, they were all turned into ashes, only the slightly intact corpses at the edge of the city were burnt to ashes."
"When we got there, it was snowing, but it wasn't real snow, it was just white ashes."
Shen Lang: "What about Mulan and Ancestor Luo?"
Bai Ting Count first bowed towards a direction and said: "Your Highness."
It turned out that Shen Ye was here. This Count Baiting was really meticulous.
After bowing to Shen Ye, Bai Ting Count said: "The Queen and Ancestor Luo continued to chase that giant dragon, because the places it flew past, the ground was all roasted, there are very obvious traces."
Shen Lang: "Sir Bai Ting, you have worked hard, we will leave immediately."
Then Shen Lang quickly returned to his bedroom, wearing the ancient armor.
"Father …" Shen Ye showed a pleading look, he wanted to follow.
"No, you stay here." Shen Lang: "Although you are strong enough, in this situation, you are still too young."
Duke Debus said: "Your Majesty, I will go with you."
"No, you also stay in Bi Jin City." Shen Lang said, "That's an ancient super ferocious beast. Although it was hatched by my father, Jiang Li, it hasn't been tamed yet. Any one of its breaths could turn people into ashes, so you absolutely can't take the risk. However, I'm different, I have protective measures."
After wearing the armor, Shen Lang rubbed Shen Ye's head, then he rubbed Loki's head, then he rode on the ultrasonic flying beast, flew into the sky, and flew towards Rest City.
As for Bai Ting Count, he also rode on Shen Ye's ultrasonic flying beast, because it was fast enough.
Looking at Shen Lang disappearing in the sky, Loki suddenly asked: "Brother, does that dragon belong to our family?"
Shen Ye said: "Yes, it belongs to our Jiang family."
Loki immediately looked at Duke Debus and said: "Mother, does Emperor Sauron have a dragon?"
Duke Debus shook her head: "He doesn't."
The eyes of Loki, who was not even six years old, suddenly lit up. He suddenly had a thought. Sauron did not have a dragon, so how could he be an emperor?
Duke Debus stepped forward and picked up her son: "I have read many ancient books, the Jiang family was already a royal family in ancient times. You and brother Shen Ye must restore the glory of your ancestors, and create a foundation that is even more glorious than your ancestors."
The words she said no longer had the taste of the West, it was pure Eastern words.
Shen Ye glanced at his aunt, then at his younger brother.
He had stayed here for a long time, so he knew more clearly about Aunt Debus's thoughts.
… … …
Shen Lang and Bai Ting flew all the way towards the northwest.
"Rest City is about three thousand five hundred miles away from Bi Jin City. It is a peninsula and can be considered a city-state. For a long time, it was loyal to the Xilun Dynasty, but after the second Xilun Empire, it became an independent city-state and had a very cold relationship with the Xilun Dynasty."
Shen Lang asked: "Why?"
Count Bai Ting said: "Because they are incomparably devout believers in the God of Light. This is a very ancient religion. When the Xilun Emperor went south, they already existed in the Extreme North Continent. When the Xilun Empire was the first Empire, it was still the state religion of the Xilun Empire. But after the second Xilun Empire, our belief system has undergone a huge change. It is no longer pure. Our belief system is diverse, and many people don't believe in gods anymore. "
Shen Lang knew this, the belief system of the Xilun Dynasty was indeed very chaotic.
Count Bai Ting said: "There is a group of people who can't stand it, so they gathered together and left the Xilun Continent. They came to the so-called horizon and built a city, named Rest City. Therefore, this group of people is extremely devout to the God of Light. They are always beneficial to the Xilun Empire, and we are not too willing to provoke them."
"Regardless of this city, Rest City is indeed the most beautiful city in the Xilun Empire." Count Bai Ting said: "Of course, it is not as dreamy as the Queen City, but it is full of dignity, solemnity, and a little bit of holiness. Because the whole city is built with white marble, which means the light of the God of Light. This is the most artistic city, unfortunately, it is completely destroyed."
Shen Lang said: "I am very sorry."
Count Bai Ting wanted to say something but stopped.
Shen Lang said: "Sir Bai Ting, if you have something to say, just say it."
Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said: "The strength of the Great Qian Empire makes us very happy. It also made the Russo Family rise like a star, making us the richest province. But there is an undercurrent in the Blue Wave Province, and even the whole South, that makes me a little uneasy. "
Shen Lang said: "Are you talking about the north-south rift?"
Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said: "Yes, Your Majesty. When Emperor Sauron first ascended the throne, the relationship between the North and the South gradually became closer, and the contradictions and conflicts also became smaller and smaller. This is almost entirely due to Her Majesty Helen's efforts. But with the rapid rise of your Great Qian Empire in the East, there seems to be a huge force pulling the Russo Family away from the Xilun Empire. "
Pulling? This word was very accurate.
The Great Qian Empire was like a planet in the universe, constantly rising, and its mass was getting bigger and bigger. The gravity it produced was also getting stronger and stronger, creating a huge gravitational pull on the nearby planets. Once the gravitational pull exceeded a certain level, it could even tear the nearby planets apart.
In the past, the Russo Family often said that the East belongs to the East, and the West belongs to the West. Great Qian belongs to Great Qian, and Xilun belongs to Xilun.
But now, the Russo Family did not say this at all, and began to collectively learn the Eastern language.
"Vice Empress Helen is also very confused about this." Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said: "She is very, very fond of Loki, so for the past year or so, she has been bringing Loki with her. Recently, you wanted to come to the West, so Duke Debus brought Loki back to Jade Gold City. "
As soon as this was said, Shen Lang heard more meaning.
Helen could see Duke Debus's ambition, so she wanted to stop all this, but she could not be too obvious, so she thought of a way to personally train Loki, wanting to instill in him some kind of correct philosophy, so that he would deviate from Debus's ambition.
"My respected Majesty, in the past few years, I have constantly heard of your great achievements, but what I admire even more is that you have no desire for power, you are free and unrestrained." Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said: "So, you must be able to understand the painstaking effort in saying these words."
Shen Lang asked: "Then, are there many people who have the same idea as Debus?"
Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said: "There are very few people who have the same idea as her, but there are many who have the same position as her. This is because as long as the conflict between the North and the South continues to be created, the centrifugal force will become greater and greater. The entire South will desire a fair position, and they all hope that Her Majesty Helen can become the ruler of the Empire. However, Her Majesty Helen does not have children, so Prince Loki became the closest person to her. Although he does not have the blood of the Xilun Dynasty in his body … the Vikings do not care about this, because the Vikings are not Xilun people. And in the entire South, the Vikings are the most numerous. "
"Right now, Her Majesty Helen is in a very difficult situation. She has been constantly promoting the status of the Vikings, promoting their official positions, titles, and so on, but as the conflict between the North and the South intensifies, the higher the status of the Vikings, the greater the centrifugal force."
Shen Lang said: "Sir Bai Ting, I know your confusion. But I can't promise you anything now, because it is too early. Also, I have a conflict with His Majesty Sauron. This conflict is not big, and can be reconciled, but I think, or should I say, I am worried that this conflict will evolve into an irreconcilable one. "
"You mean …" Bai Ting Count Bai Ting was surprised.
Shen Lang said: "Yes, do you think he will let it go?"
Bai Ting Count Bai Ting shook his head. Although he did not understand His Majesty Sauron, if this dragon appeared in the West, then he would probably not be willing to give it up. He would definitely see it as a mythical beast of the Xilun Dynasty.
Shen Lang said: "But this dragon belongs to my Jiang family, right?"
Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said: "Of course, I have heard from Ancestor Luo that this dragon was hatched by your father, so it belongs to the Jiang family."
… …
One day later!
Shen Lang finally flew to the sky above Resting City, and then he was completely stunned by the scene before him.
This … this destruction was too thorough.
This city was huge enough, but now it had completely melted, and the ground was full of dried magma.
The entire city, which stretched for dozens of miles, was not flattened, but melted into a twisted ruin.
There were not many corpses, only tens of thousands, and all of them were burnt black. They were running at the edge of the city, and then they were burnt to ashes while running.
There were two to three hundred thousand people in the entire Rest City, and the rest were completely turned into ashes.
"It should have drilled out from the bottom of the sea." Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said.
Shen Lang patted Dachao and said: "Let's go into the sea."
Dachao suddenly dived down and drilled into the seabed to the west of Rest City.
Sure enough, at the bottom of the sea, there was an incomparably huge crack.
Shen Lang clicked his tongue. He could not imagine how big this dragon was.
Because this crack was too shocking, it was like an endless abyss.
Why did it destroy Rest City? Was it intentional? Or was it simply destroyed?
… …
Next, Shen Lang searched Rest City for about half an hour.
The way this dragon was destroyed was very similar to Regret of the Dragon, and the high temperature it produced was astonishing.
"Let's go …" Shen Lang commanded.
Then, the two of them followed the traces left by the dragon and headed north.
No wonder Mulan and Ancestor Luo would continue to chase, because the traces were too obvious. Even if they were a few thousand meters in the air, they could still see it clearly. There was a scorched track on the ground, which was caused by the terrifying heat when the dragon flew past.
"When we arrived, the ground was even a little red." Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said: "That's why the Empress and Ancestor Luo decided to continue chasing, and told me to return to Bi Jin City to report, because she was worried that you would come in the next few days."
Shen Lang nodded. The two of them continued to follow the tracks on the ground, heading north, and north.
Where was this dragon going?
After flying for two days and two nights, following this track, they had already tracked for almost ten thousand miles.
They still did not find the dragon, nor did they meet Ancestor Luo and Mulan.
Shen Lang continued to follow the tracks left by the dragon, and continued to chase.
Suddenly …
The tracks of the scorched ground disappeared.
This … this was too strange.
Why did the tracks that extended for more than ten thousand miles suddenly disappear? Wasn't this the end of the continent? This was not the ocean.
This was still the continent, and the scorched marks of the dragon didn't gradually fade, they were still very obvious. Whether it was the mountains or the ground, all the trees were burned, all the rocks and soil were also burned red and then cooled down.
Why did it suddenly disappear?
Also, this was just an ordinary land, there were no abyss, no caves, and no cracks. The dragon couldn't have drilled into the ground here.
Could it be that the dragon suddenly rose to the sky, and flew very high, so it didn't burn the ground?
Why did this happen? Before this, it had been flying at the same altitude, why did it suddenly rise to the sky?
Where was Mulan? Ancestor Luo?
"This is too strange. If the dragon rose to the sky here, then Ancestor Luo and the Empress would also chase here. They must have left a letter, or left some words on the ground. They knew we would definitely catch up." Bai Ting Count Bai Ting said.
Yes, this was very strange. There were no marks left in this area, and there were no words.
Where did Ancestor Luo and Mulan go?
Of course, Shen Lang shouldn't be too worried about their safety. According to Shen Ye, Mulan was already strong enough, and Ancestor Luo was even more powerful. Her cultivation might be even higher than the Ren Sect Leader.
But why did they suddenly disappear?
Shen Lang continued to fly at low altitude, releasing his powerful mental power to search every area here. He wanted to see if Ancestor Luo and Mulan left any words behind.
But he didn't find anything at all!
Why did this happen? Mulan and Ancestor Luo, they must have left some words.
Shen Lang returned to the original place, back to the place where the scorched marks of the dragon disappeared, and opened his X-ray vision.
Sure enough, he found it …
Mulan left some words here, and it was very obscure.
This area was roasted by the dragon, so the entire ground was melted, and then solidified into a special rock. There didn't seem to be anything special on the surface.
But Mulan used flames to write on it, and it was a flame made from a special metal.
Under normal vision, there was no difference at all, but under the X-ray vision, the words were very clear.
"Husband, hurry back to Bi Jin City, hurry back, hurry back, the dragon's next target is Bi Jin City. Love, love, love your Lan!"
Even at this time, Mulan still used the word 'love'.
But the content was very creepy, and Mulan's handwriting was very sloppy, obviously written in a hurry.
Also, she probably couldn't tell that Shen Lang had already come to Bi Jin City, she could only make a rough guess.
The dragon's next target was Bi Jin City?
Why? Why?
Did it have a target to destroy these cities?
Why Bi Jin City? It didn't make sense!
Mulan must have been very pressed for time, so she didn't even have time to write a reason.
Since Mulan was certain that the dragon's next target was Bi Jin City, why didn't she go back? Bi Jin City was Duchess Debus's territory, and there were tens of thousands of easterners there. Shen Ye was also in Bi Jin City.
Therefore, it was certain that Mulan and Luo Patriarch had encountered an urgent matter here, and they couldn't go back.
In that case, who could make a top-tier elite like Luo Patriarch so anxious?
The answer seemed to be on the verge of being revealed. The White Capital?
Shen Lang smelled the scent of a conspiracy, a shocking conspiracy.
Why did the dragon want to destroy Bi Jin City? Was someone guiding it?
At least until now, it was impossible for anyone to control the dragon. It was too powerful.
According to Shen Lang's deduction, Great Yan's emperor would need a few years to comprehend the Dragon Art before he could control the dragon.
What should he do next? Should he head north and continue searching for Mulan and Luo Patriarch?
Or should he head south and return to Bi Jin City?
Shen Lang quickly came to a conclusion. Even if Mulan and Luo Patriarch encountered the people from the White Capital, their lives would not be in danger.
On the contrary, Bi Jin City was in grave danger. Debus was there, and both of Shen Lang's sons were there.
The scene in An Xi City was too terrifying.
If the dragon wanted to destroy Bi Jin City, no one would be able to resist.
"Go, go, go. Let's return to Bi Jin City immediately." Shen Lang said, "Count Bai Ting, I'm afraid my prediction has come true. Someone wants to use the dragon to destroy Bi Jin City."
Count Bai Ting's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
Then, both of them rode on their ultrasonic flying beasts and headed south at full speed toward Bi Jin City.
Faster, faster, faster …
Not only did they have to save Bi Jin City, but Shen Lang would also be able to meet the dragon face to face.
However, Shen Lang's comprehension of the Dragon Art had not been completed. Or rather, he had only completed a part of it.
The two ultrasonic flying beasts flew like lightning, and they did not rest at all.
At this moment, Count Bai Ting suddenly said, "Your Majesty, we … are surrounded!"
Shen Lang saw it.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
Countless flying beasts appeared in front of him, behind him, left, and right.
Moreover, they were very unfamiliar flying beasts with snow-white bodies.
"May I ask if you are His Majesty Shen Lang?" A woman's voice was heard.
Shen Lang said, "Yes, you are?"
The woman said, "His Majesty Sauron invites His Majesty Shen Lang for a chat!"
Sauron? The powerful Xilun Empire Emperor?
Previously in the Queen City, Sauron and Helen met and had a duel.
Helen lost.
Helen was very powerful, but she was far from Sauron's opponent. Sauron had fought with Queen Medusa before.
Of course, that was not the key point. At that time, Shen Lang was also in the Queen City. Helen asked Sauron to apologize to Shen Lang.
Because Sauron said that Queen Medusa would either die or kneel down to become his Queen.
Sauron refused, but seeing that Shen Lang was Helen's younger brother, he was willing to confer him the title of Duke of the Xilun Empire.
Shen Lang refused. He did not even appear in the Queen's Palace. He left directly and did not say goodbye to Helen.
Therefore, he had not officially met Sauron, but he had completely felt the other party's arrogance.
Shen Lang would remember this hatred and would definitely take revenge.
Shen Lang said, "I'm very sorry, the Xilun Empire is too far away. I'm very busy and can't go."
The woman said, "Your Majesty Shen Lang, His Majesty Sauron is nearby. It will be very soon."
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Lead the way."
The woman waved her hand, and suddenly hundreds of aerial troops lined up, surrounded Shen Lang, and flew towards the east.
Soon, Shen Lang saw a palace. The palace of the Xilun Empire.
This was a castle on the peak of the mountain, or even a palace.
This mountain was very tall, and the peak was covered in pure white snow. However, the castle on the peak was indeed built with red rocks, so it looked especially stunning.
Above the white snow, the red palace.
This should be the famous Red Palace of the Xilun Empire.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty Shen Lang of the Da Qian Empire is here," the woman said.
Instantly, the door of the Red Palace opened.
Hundreds of aerial cavalry landed on the small square of the Red Palace and lined up.
After a while, another group of cavalry galloped out. The leader should be a Prince of the Xilun Empire.
"Your Majesty Shen Lang, good day!" The Prince of the Xilun Empire said, "His Majesty ordered me to come and welcome you."
Shen Lang said, "Good day, Your Highness. Everything is simple, I can only stay for 15 minutes at most."
"Okay, Your Majesty Shen Lang." The Prince of the Xilun Empire said, "Play music!"
The music of the Xilun Empire sounded. Hundreds of cavalry pulled out their sharp swords and pointed them towards the sky.
Because Shen Lang was the Emperor of the Da Qian Empire, the other party still gave him the highest diplomatic etiquette, but everything was simple.
The Prince brought Shen Lang to the door of the Red Palace.
"Creak …" The door of the palace, which was originally cracked open, was now completely open.
"Your Majesty Shen Lang, please come in. Emperor Sauron is waiting for you inside," the Prince of the Xilun Empire said.
Shen Lang walked in.
Immediately, he saw a majestic back at the end of the palace. This was Emperor Sauron.
He was known as the greatest and strongest king of the entire Xilun Empire after Xilun the First.
Emperor Sauron said slowly, "Your Majesty Shen Lang, I trust you have been well."
Shen Lang said, "Your Majesty Sauron, I trust you have been well."
Emperor Sauron still did not turn around. He said calmly, "Your Majesty Shen Lang, between the two of us, who do you think is the real Emperor?"
