"It's over …"
Liu Buyi's face was deathly pale. Even though the Heavenly Jade Dragon Riders were known as the protectors of the empire, in the end, those dragon riders were still lofty existences. Commoners simply did not have the qualifications to come into contact with them. Now that Xu Chuan had discovered that the rash youngster was peeking at them, the situation might immediately develop in the worst possible direction.
Who would have thought that what left Liu Buyi surprised was that Lin Muyu was not afraid at all. Instead, she stood on the broken wall and looked straight at Xu Chuan. Her gaze was completely devoid of fear as she said, "You are a dragon rider?"
"I am. So what?" Xu Chuan coldly looked at her.
"Many thanks for killing this demon for Clear Desolate City. Otherwise, who knows how many commoners it would have harmed." Lin Muyu's tone was extremely calm.
"Hmph!"
Xu Chuan seemed to never smile. His face was covered in frost as he said, "This is our duty. Brat, hurry up and leave this place. There might be other demon spirits, but with your strength …"
He looked at Lin Muyu with contempt. Under his spiritual perception, he could only see that there was a bit of true energy floating within Lin Muyu's body. He couldn't see a star and a half of divine force or king's battle flame. It was clear that this was someone who had only cultivated true energy. As such, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you won't even be able to see the demon spirit before you'll be devoured."
"Many thanks." Lin Muyu cupped her hands and smiled. She flipped over and left the top of the wall. She grabbed Liu Buyi and disappeared into the night without looking back.
…
A dragon rider took out a rope and firmly tied the demon spirit's corpse to the dragon's leg. Then, he respectfully said, "Lord Xu Chuan, that youngster just now … what happened?"
"It's nothing." Xu Chuan nodded. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said, "Although this youngster's cultivation is insignificant, his aura … his aura doesn't lose to any Sacred Martial King. How strange. He doesn't seem to be from the Tianji Empire either. Could it be someone from the Celestial Empire or the Blackstone Empire?"
"Ha, my lord, why do you care so much? You said it yourself, he's just an insignificant brat. Maybe he just worships the Dragon Knights. There are countless young people on the continent who dream of becoming a Dragon Knight. He's just one of them."
Xu Chuan took another look at Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi's silhouettes in the dark, then said, "Let's go back to the Imperial Capital to report on the completion of the mission, and also to see if the tongue captured by the Marshal has confessed anything."
"Yes!"
One after another, the dragons spread their wings and abruptly soared into the sky. The people in the small city all looked up, looking at the miraculous existence that they would never be able to see in their lives. Dragon riders were the most respected existence and symbol of power in the entire Celestial Pole Continent. Just the training of a dragon rider would cost more than 100,000 gold coins every year. Including the food and maintenance of the dragons, if one wanted to raise a dragon rider, it would cost nearly 300,000 gold coins every year. This amount of money was enough to cover half a year's worth of taxes in Clear Desolation City!
…
"Young hero, you're too bold. You actually dare to speak to the Lord Dragon Rider like that! Do you know that the Lord Dragon Rider can blow you apart with a single breath? Even a single fart can kill you. You, you're too rash! "
In the night, Liu Buyi continued to talk.
Lin Muyu frowned. The scene of Xu Chuan killing the demon spirit was still playing in her mind. Man and dragon could reach the realm of becoming one. Every time Xu Chuan waved his sword, the dragon would change its flying direction and trajectory, increasing the power of its master's attack by a lot. Furthermore, it was perfectly dodging attacks. Could it be that the people of the Celestial Pole Continent also practiced beast taming techniques?
It seemed that this was the only explanation. Furthermore, this was a beast taming technique that was even more refined than the spiritual communication technique.
His brows furrowed even tighter. These dragon riders were known as the pride of the Celestial Pole Continent. In the future, they would definitely be a huge problem for the Shattered Cauldron Realm!
Furthermore, from Xu Chuan's attitude, the dragon riders of the Celestial Pole Continent were arrogant and did not care about others at all. If they were to find out that there was another world on the other side of the continent, the consequences would be obvious. The dragon riders that filled the sky would engulf the entire Shattered Cauldron Realm like a plague. And what did the Shattered Cauldron Realm rely on?
The only few gods, or the Longdan Army Camp and the Magic Crystal Cannons?
When he thought of this, Lin Muyu could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Hey, kid, what are you thinking about? Why are you ignoring me? Don't you know that this is impolite?" Liu Buyi carefully walked along the rocky mountain path in the forest. This Clear Desolate City was connected to the mountain range. In fact, it could not be considered a city anymore. It could only be considered a town nestled in the embrace of the mountain range.
Only then did Lin Muyu turn around and smile guiltily. "Sorry, Buyi. I was thinking about something just now."
"What were you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
"You clearly don't want to say it, yet you're still making excuses like this."
"I'm not making excuses. I just don't want to say it."
"Ptui! You bastard, I'm about to die from anger!"
A faint golden luster flashed past Lin Muyu's eyes. He looked at the mountain path in front of him and said, "Buyi, what do these dragon riders usually do?"
"What do they do?" Liu Buyi smiled. "You've asked the right person. Although I'm only in Clear Desolate City, there's nothing I don't know about. The Tianji Dragon Riders are under the direct command of His Majesty the Sacred Emperor. Normally, they will split up and patrol the various cities, carrying out missions to hunt demonic spirits. When there is war, these dragon riders will rush to the battlefield. When there is a local unrest, the dragon riders will also participate in the war. Seven years ago, there was an upheaval in the Northern Province. The empire mobilized over 70% of the Tianji Dragon Riders to quell the rebellion. It was truly a reign of terror. Some people say that in a single night, these dragon riders slaughtered nearly 300,000 soldiers and civilians who participated in the rebellion. "
Liu Buyi seemed to be able to see that tragic war. He clicked his tongue and said, "To the people, the dragon riders are the gods of war that the heavens have bestowed upon the human world. To the emperor, the dragon riders are just a tool to rule. Our country's Tianji Dragon Riders, as well as the neighboring countries' Tianjue Dragon Riders and Blackstone Dragon Riders, are all the same. Otherwise, the three great empires wouldn't have been able to rule the Celestial Pole Continent for so long."
Lin Muyu nodded, then asked, "Buyi, as a commoner, what do you think of these Sacred Martial Gods, Sacred Martial Kings, and Sacred Martial Sovereigns? Do you revere them, or do you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with them?"
"Stand shoulder to shoulder? Stop joking! " Liu Buyi couldn't help but laugh. "Those people aren't mortals. They're all gods. It's said that some Sacred Martial Gods have even lived in the God Realm. It's just that the spiritual qi in the Celestial Pole Continent is very abundant, so they're willing to enter the world to cultivate. Young hero, why are you asking this? If you ask so many more questions, I'll have to charge you extra."
"There's going to be extra charges?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. "Buyi, you're just too greedy."
"Humans die in pursuit of wealth, just as birds die in pursuit of food. You better not ask me any more questions. I've already answered a lot."
"Alright, I won't ask anymore. That's right, there are a lot of demonic spirits. Do they appear frequently? "
"How could that be? Basically, encountering a demonic spirit is as unlucky as stepping on dog shit. Do you think you can encounter one just because you want to?" Liu Buyi smacked his lips. "You're really bad, tricking me into answering your questions again. This time, no matter what, you'll have to pay more for the questioning. Young hero, you're really too gutsy. You …"
As he spoke, Liu Buyi suddenly trembled all over, and he stood where he was. His eyes stared straight into the distance, as if his soul had been hooked. His face instantly turned deathly pale.
"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu asked.
Liu Buyi extended his hand and pointed in front of him. "Sh … sh * t …"
Under the moonlight on the mountain path, a demon with a crooked body and barbs all over its body crawled on top of a huge rock. A pair of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi. That was the gaze of someone staring at their prey. It slowly opened its mouth, and unexpectedly, its mouth was also filled with barbs. If they were to be bitten by it, a large piece of meat would probably be destroyed!
"Demonic … demonic spirit …" Liu Buyi said with a trembling voice. "We really stepped on dog shit."
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu acted as if nothing had happened. His Spiritual Pulse Technique had already sensed the existence of this demonic spirit a few minutes ago. It's just that the strength of this demonic spirit was too weak, so he didn't think much of it. He asked, "Then, what class is this demonic spirit?"
Liu Buyi stared at the neck of the demonic spirit and muttered to himself, "Blue, green, white, grey, red. A total of five colors. It's a class 5 demonic spirit. Oh my god, it's over. If it was a class 8 or a class 9 demonic spirit, I might be able to survive if I ran faster than you. It's over this time …"
"Class 5?"
"Can't you see the color of its neck? Demonic spirits are also cultivated to increase their cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the more uniform the spiritual energy will be. A real Demon Emperor's neck only has one color. " As he spoke, Liu Buyi's body trembled. He grabbed onto Lin Muyu's wrist and said with a trembling voice, "Young hero … don't run. Don't turn around. It's useless to run after encountering a demonic spirit. Even the weakest class 9 demonic spirit can easily catch up to humans."
"I don't intend to run. Don't grab me. Men shouldn't touch each other."
"Pei!"
Liu Buyi's face alternated between white and yellow as he said, "It's over. I never thought that a dignified God rank physiognomist like me would actually die here. In the end, I didn't even get a girlfriend. I … my life is really not worth it!"
"Jie Jie …"
The demonic spirit stuck out its tongue and laughed cruelly, as if it was mocking Liu Buyi.
Liu Buyi didn't move. This time, he really didn't dare to move. If he were to act blindly without thinking, it might speed up his death. Right now, he could only wait for a quick death. He only hoped that this demonic spirit would eat him slowly and let him live a little longer.
However, at the side, Lin Muyu rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of strong arms.
"Young hero, what do you want?" Liu Buyi asked.
"Fight with my life. Don't tell me you're just going to sit and wait to be someone's midnight snack?"
Liu Buyi's eyes lit up. "Oh, right. I forgot that you're someone who followed Master to cultivate in the mountains. I thought you were a weak chicken waiting to be slaughtered …"
"Damn you …"
As Lin Muyu spoke, her figure flashed and went straight for the class 5 demonic spirit in front of her.
It's the National Day. Ye went home to accompany his parents. Therefore, there will be no updates on the 30th to the 5th. I hope that everyone can understand. After all, life is far more important than the internet.
