Chapter 264: The Search for Tang (2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Wu flew past the various high cliffs and perilous peaks. He was at a height where many dragons were unable to fly at, so the chances of being discovered were very low. Qiao Yi started using the original prison, and a new and more suitable prison could only be found at that height. Xu Lan was sitting on Bai Wu’s back, shivering due to the cold. His teeth also chattering and it was difficult to even utter a word.

Ka Daiwen had furnished him with some clues. In the midst of battle, Bai Wu heard Ka Qi¹mention Lunsu²

. Lunsu was a continuous and uninterrupted mountain range, where peaks alone number in the twenties or thirties. As of then, Bai Wu had only managed to exclude one such peak.

“If you defeat Qiao Yi, will you return with me?” Xu Lan was sitting on Bai Wu’s shoulders, observing the way Bai Wu extended his head into the caves to check the situation inside.

“… Of course. I’ll be with you wherever you are.” Bai Wu paused momentarily. He then curled his lips in a teeth-baring smile and replied.

“But if you defeat Qiao Yi, the dragon clan wouldn’t have a leader, right? Don’t you intend to stay back and be the new leader? And also, for us to be together will create chaos in the dimension. The whole human world has already been flipped upside down, and according to Qin Lao, it is because of us. If I stay here, this world will be destroyed too.”

It was the first time that Xu Lan spoke bluntly about their future, and a bright red word was pasted right in front of them: impossible.

“That is why we must save Tang. Qiao Yi and Ka Daiwen will be getting married tomorrow, and his warrior dragons are gone. We can seize this chance and defeat him.” Bai Wu avoided the crux of Xu Lan’s question.

“WULFJVI¹.” A green dragon was pointing a weapon directly at Bai Wu. It was speaking in a language that Xu Lan could not understand, but from the context, he surmised that it was asking who Bai Wu was.

The dragon clan was far stronger and smarter than humans. They also had their own language, but they can master other languages in a short span of time if the need arose. When Qiao Yi spoke to Xu Lan for the first time, neither understood the other, but later on, Qiao Yi seemed to have picked up on human language and was able to converse in a way that Xu Lan could comprehend.

“IJFIDD.” Bai Wu spoke a sentence and trapped the green dragon instantly in his immense dragon might.

Upon hearing the commotion, a number of soldier dragons began surging out from the cave, carrying weapons with them. Those that were first in line to surround Bai Wu were frightened, but soon after they looked at him with their angry, bead-like eyes. A group of green dragons was the first to attack. Bai Wu fanned his six-or-seven-meter-long wings and sent ice arrows flying toward the army.

The green dragons were not able to ward off Bai Wu’s dragon might, let alone the ice daggers that came spiraling toward them. In the blink of an eye, only one black dragon remained on top of Cangsu Mountain¹.

“JIWJFERINFKVFN.”

“ISODVIDN.”

“…” Bai Wu spoke no further and rushed directly into the cave. He used his dragon might suppress the black dragon while also attacking it with ice.

Much later, when Xu Lan could understand dragon language, he recalled whatever that was said on that occasion. As it turned out, Qiao Yi manipulated his own murderous conspiracy to make it look like Bai Wu was the betrayer. Owing to Bai Wu’s inability to bear and accept the fact that Bai Ling had been swallowed by the Mother Nest, he chose to turn his back on the whole dragon clan.

Things worsened when they discovered Xu Lan’s existence. To think that the esteemed dragon clan’s former leader was relying on a lowly human, was a subordinate who killed the dragon clan’s warriors, and was an enemy of the whole clan! They were all made to despise Bai Wu’s existence!

Despite having had a night to recuperate, there was no denying that Ka Qi and the others had wounded Bai Wu. Bai Wu’s body was no longer like before; he had to use even more strength because more and more black dragons were gathering upon hearing the ruckus. In a flash, Cangsu Mountain was covered in dense black clouds. Rain began falling, gales were rising, wind and snow intertwined, sand and rocks were flying in all directions: it was as if the eight immortals were crossing the sea and displaying each of their abilities all at once.

“Fuahhh…” Bai Wu once again spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his silver-white scales with a glaring red color. He protected Xu Lan while he was rushing into the prison. Sounds of dripping water could be heard in the damp, cool cave. The water droplets mixed with drops of Bai Wu’s blood as they were dripping onto the ground. Xu Lan’s heart was also trickling: he felt apprehensive but refrained from doing anything hasty. He simply held on to his clenched, sweating fist and looked at everything that was going on right in front of him.

“HWENVN.”

At the end of the tunnel, the cave was unexpectedly wide, and there was even a shining light. Bai Wu turned around abruptly and sealed the entrance with his dragon might. Using his own blood as a vector, he drew upon the energy of the Mother Nest and utilized an unprecedented amount of force to trap all the black dragons in the tunnel. Scarlet-red crystals had adorned Bai Wu from head to toe!

Tang was locked up in the innermost area of the prison. His dragon bones were taken out and he was compressed into a shrimp-like ball. All of his limbs were shackled up and he was lying on the ground like a tortoise.

“Tang!”
