Chapter 115: Chapter 84 Power Struggle over the Dragon_1
"Spare us, Your Majesty!"
They wouldn’t dare disrespect the legendary Sovereign.
The legend has it, when the Sovereign is angry, corpses pile up for miles.
It’s precisely because of a Sovereign that the city of sin is so terrifying.
However, the lightning bolt contained daunting power, heading directly towards them.
"No!"
The five powerhouses tried to escape, but they couldn’t withstand the lightning bolt.
The lightning struck them, and they watched in horror as their bodies turned to ashes.
The five rulers of Blood City died on the spot.
"Plop!" Ningtuo’s tiny body was thrown about like a kite without a string, landing a good distance away.
Even the aftermath of the lightning bolt had gravely wounded her.
Her mouth was bleeding, but a sweet smile emerged on her face: "My Lord, are you warning me?"
"Only a powerful man deserves me, Ningtuo!"
"My gracious husband, you still care for me. You let your divine skill hurt me to help me understand the divine origin skills better, right?"
Ningtuo was smiling sweetly, looking as docile as a petite wife.
If Qi Yuan were here to hear Ningtuo’s words, he would say, "Little beauty, your imagination is running wild."
Of course, he didn’t know that the girly voice from before belonged to a girl much older than him.
At the same time, on the Rainbow Peak.
Qi Yuan was enraged: "Stupid game, racy game, always making an NPC call me her lord, tempting me, but not letting me play, right!"
After his divine soul had grown stronger, he tried to force his way into the game.
However, he failed.
As his divine sense approached the game icon, a powerful backlash ensued.
He could only swear out loud!
Meanwhile, he also heard parts of Ningtuo’s inner voice, in which she called him her lord.
He cursed vehemently.
"No, I must enhance my divine soul and show this stupid game what I am capable of!"
Qi Yuan then began to cultivate.
Nearly two months flashed by.
Qi Yuan opened his eyes to see a slight increase of mana within his body, leaving him speechless.
The increase in strength was too slow.
For these two months, Qi Yuan primarily cultivated the divine soul-enhancing technique and concurrently studied the Qi Yuan Sutras.
During this time, he tried to enter the game many times, but all attempts ended in failure.
He heard Ningtuo’s voice seven times, responded four times and ignored her three times.
Because she didn’t call him "lord" in those last three instances.
She might not have been calling him, so he didn’t feel the need to show attention where it wasn’t warranted.
"Elder brother, the Dragon Contest is about to start, you have to go out now." Jiang Lingsu, in her elf form, urged Qi Yuan to step out.
"Alright." Qi Yuan glanced at his junior sister dressed in thicker clothes for the Spring and stepped out of his wooden hut.
...
Rong City was originally an ordinary city under the control of the Divine Light Sect.
However, the city had greatly changed in the last two months.
From time to time, ordinary people saw Immortals soaring across the sky.
Some also spotted giant stone sculptures three times the height of a man carrying logs and boulders, constructing palaces outside the city.
In less than two months, palaces after palaces have sprung up around the city, which turned Rong City into a celestial fairytale land.
Right at that moment, three shooting stars appeared in the sky above.
Several voices fell into Qi Yuan’s ears.
"The Dashang State transformed from an ordinary human kingdom into a kingdom of cultivation because of the celestial realms in their royal city. They inherited numerous treasures and resources from these celestial realms to become the most powerful force within the Dashang State," said the white-haired Kang Fulu, who was experienced and knowledgeable. "However, over these years, with the rise of the Desire Demon Gate, the Dashang State has lost its former prosperity."
Dong Xia was indifferent upon hearing this.
The decline of the Dashang State was inevitable.
He had no desire to restore its former glory.
For him, personal strength was the real power.
"The second Celestial Dragon Realm has been discovered outside of Rong City now.
For this reason, the venue for this year’s Dragon Contest was moved to the Celestial Dragon Realm in Rong City." Kang Fulu wouldn’t have bothered to explain all of this if Qi Yuan had known about it.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan said: "So, this Dragon Contest, in addition to fighting for the throne, is also a scramble for resources."
But Qi Yuan was puzzled. Rong City was so close to the Divine Light Sect; the second Celestial Dragon Realm should have been entirely under the control of the Divine Light Sect.
But then, Qi Yuan realized that there seemed to be some issues with the sect.
Perhaps it’s not such a big problem after all.
The Sect Master was a spy and many of the elders and disciples had numerous issues.
Even Kang Fulu, the wife of the Sect Master, had some minor problems.
In the entire sect, Qi Yuan believed he might be the only one who was completely innocent.
"We have three major enemies in this Contest. The first is the First Prince, back up by the Overlord Mountain.
Second is the Seventh Prince, backed up by the Desire Demon Gate.
Third is the Eighteenth Prince, the youngest prince, who’s backed...by the Palace of Light."
"The Palace of Light?" Hearing this, Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up.
Was his moonlight coming?
"The Palace of Light has profound roots, originating from the East Continent. This time, a man named Polang has come from there. He is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He does not come in peace. We need to be careful," Kang Fulu gently advised.
That simply made Qi Yuan eager to show his capability.
Dashang State was too poor.
It was just a village-level organization.
To this point, he hadn’t encountered a single mystery-level cultivation technique in the Dashang State.
However, Zhu Lianhua of the Palace of Light, his first love interest, deserved being from a big place as she carried a mystery-level cultivation technique.
His first love interest brutally died in Dashang State, so the second love interest who came surely possessed greater skills.
Therefore, the items he possessed might be even better.
This made Qi Yuan look forward to it immensely.
...
"Cough cough..." a man laying in bed, his face pale. Each time he coughed, he brought up fresh blood, the coughing never stopping.
"Your majesty." The eighteenth prince looked desperate upon seeing this.
The man coughing up blood was none other than the Supreme Emperor of the Dachang Kingdom.
"You may leave." The Empress, clad in a purple-gold gown, her face stern, said, "Your father needs rest."
The eighteenth prince, showing a pained expression, reluctantly withdrew.
In the grand palace, only the Emperor and the Empress of Dachang remained.
"Zitong, during my time healing in closed-door meditation, you have taken care of state affairs diligently in my stead. I am grateful." The Emperor of Dachang tried to take hold of the Empress’s hand.
However, the Empress stood abruptly: "Your Majesty, you need to rest."
After saying these words, she directly departed.
She had another person to meet.
Naturally, she did not want to stay here with this puppet-like Emperor.
"Cough, cough..."
In the palace, the echo of the Emperor’s coughing sounded even sadder and more desolate.
Simultaneously.
The eighteenth prince returned to his temporary palace in Rongcheng.
Before entering, he heard the sound of a woman panting from inside the room.
His expression was changing between light and dark.
Becauese that woman was his queen.
He stood outside the room, feeling like a eunuch.
At this moment, a teasing voice came.
"Eighteenth Prince, since you have returned, why not come in? I like it when you watch."
After hearing this, the eighteenth prince immediately bowed his head and entered, showing a humble smile on his face.
"Mr. Polang."
He glanced around and saw his wife on the bed, her eyes filled with deep affection, while a thin veil barely covered her body.
Polang had already put on his clothes, his eyes flickering like a poisonous snake: "What happened?"
Lowering his head, the eighteenth prince mumbled: "My mother...she is unwilling to speak to me."
"Useless." Polang muttered under his breath. He looked down upon the eighteenth prince.
Yet this useless eighteenth prince was their easiest target to control.
"Since the empress refuses to cooperate with us and the Palace of Light, we will let it be for now." A hint of displeasure showed in Polang’s eyes, then he inquired: "Have the men from the Divine Light Sect arrived yet?"
"They just arrived at the palace." The eighteenth prince bent his head, his expression humble. But as he thought of something, he said quietly, "Mr Polang, my seventeenth brother is...very good. In the Celestial Dragon Realm, could you...let him go this once."
The seventeenth prince was Dongxian.
Dongxian and the eighteenth prince were both out of favor.
However, Dongxian was always caring towards him and their bond was strong.
"Considering your feelings, I can spare his life.
But those two from the Divine Light Sect must stay." As Polang spoke, a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Lianhua died in Dachang, killed by the Divine Flower Society.
This was a great humiliation for Polang.
The scheme against the hundred countries this time was lead by his master.
Once successful, his master’s standing within the Palace of Light would greatly increase.
However, they hadn’t expected Zhu Lianhua to be killed near the Divine Light Sect.
Although, it was the Divine Flower Society that killed him, it definitely had something to do with the Divine Light Sect.
"Of the two men from the Divine Light Sect who came this time, who is stronger?" Polang asked something that suddenly occurred to him.
"Kang Fulu from the Five-Light Peak is stronger. He’s a cultivator in the late stages of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, he’s the son-in-law of the Sect Master of the Divine Light Sect and the closed-door disciple of the Five-Light Peak Master." The eighteenth prince had met Kang Fulu, and remembered a long self-introduction Kang Fulu had given, "He’s also among the top three of the Dachang Top Ten."
The Dachang Top Ten referred to the ten most talented young cultivators in the Dachang Kingdom.
"Dachang Top Ten?" A hint of scorn flashed across Polang’s eyes.
He was a man who had made it into the top seven hundred of the Eastern Earth Heavenly Pride List.
Of course, he didn’t think much of the Dachang Top Ten.
In his eyes, they could be killed with a single strike.
"You and I should leave. I have a friend who’d like to partake, and he doesn’t like an audience." Polang, thinking of something, said coldly.
The eighteenth prince still had that fawning smile on his face as he obediently left.
...
"Not bad, not bad, it’s even more luxurious than my Foundation Establishment hut." Qi Yuan was in the palace.
He looked at the golden goblets and jade dishes, wanting to take them back to the Seven Colour Peak.
Kang Fulu, however, was calm and said slowly: "We are about to have a meeting."
Now, representatives from all the sects had gathered.
All the princes had also arrived.
They needed to meet once before the Celestial Dragon Realm was opened to start the struggle for the dragon.
Qi Yuan nodded, he too was looking forward to the meeting.
He was thinking about his Polang White Moonlight.
There was still some time before the meeting, and Qi Yuan was rather bored.
After some thought, he extended his Divine Sense into the jade record of the Divine Flower Society.
Because he saw that in the chat group of the Four Divine Emperors of the Divine Flower Society, there are quite a few messages.
"Let me share some good news with you all, I made it onto the Eastern Earth Heavenly Pride List today, ranking at 300." The one who said this was the Ruffian Immortal.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Cover me, big brother!"
Everyone in the group sent messages.
Qi Yuan greatly admired the Ruffian Immortal.
At most, Qi Yuan was amongst the top ten Foundation Establishment cultivators at the village level, while his group members were already provincial level Heavenly Prides.
