Chapter 1948 Proud Dragon (2)

?”Why?” Yun Lintian inquired curiously.

“Since ascending the throne, Long Aotian has implemented a series of measures,” Dongfang Hao explained. “One such action involved stripping the opposing faction of their power and banishing them to work as miners in the mines.”

“Without their dragon lineage, they would have perished in the mines long ago.”

Crackle!

A crackle resonated as Yun Lintian clenched his fists. A murderous intent flickered in his eyes, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

Dongfang Xue was startled by the chilling aura emanating from Yun Lintian. Merely looking at him felt like drowning in a sea of blood.

Meanwhile, a flicker of astonishment crossed Dongfang Hao’s eyes. He had encountered numerous murderous figures, but none compared to Yun Lintian. The intensity of such a killing intent in such a young man was simply unbelievable.

“What else has he done?” Yun Lintian demanded coldly.

Having inherited the Primordial Azure Dragon God’s bloodline, Yun Lintian always considered himself part of the Dragon God Clan. He couldn’t tolerate Long Aotian’s despicable actions.

“He chose to halt his pursuit against them, unwilling to further tarnish his reputation,” Dongfang Hao replied. “However, his misdeeds continued to surface over the years.”

“Long Aotian possesses immense pride, with arrogance exceeding all bounds. He consistently believes himself to be the pinnacle figure of the Primal Chaos. Over the past years, he has engaged in secretive acts of robbery and murder.”

“The Dragon God has fallen to this? How utterly ludicrous!” Zhang Yu scoffed, disgusted by Long Aotian’s behavior.

The Primordial Azure Dragon God was one of the most revered figures in the Primal Chaos, his prestige comparable to even the primordial gods. Long Aotian’s actions were a mere stain on his own ancestor’s legacy.

“People in the Great Expanse go to great lengths to avoid them,” Dongfang Hao stated. “We are no exception.”

Yun Lintian fixated his gaze upon Dongfang Hao and inquired, “Senior, what actions do you intend to take? Now that Dongfang Chen is aware of Long Qingxuan’s existence, how can you ensure his silence?”

“Trust me with this matter,” Dongfang Hao declared with a serious expression. “He won’t be able to do anything.”

“You are a businessman,” Yun Lintian stated deeply.

“Indeed. I prioritize profit over jeopardizing my own assets,” Dongfang Hao replied calmly. “In this situation, you offer greater value. Dongfang Chen’s life pales in comparison to the potential profits you represent.”

“I appreciate your honesty, Senior,” Yun Lintian acknowledged gently. “I will trust you this time, but only this once.”

“Perfectly understandable,” Dongfang Hao responded without offense.

He glanced at Dongfang Xue, who snapped back to her senses.

Placing a stack of cards on the table, Dongfang Xue explained, “These are gold class memberships for the Ten Thousand Treasure Group. Additionally, you will find the highest class memberships for our Far East Trading Group included. These memberships grant you exclusive privileges in our stores across the Southern Expanse.”

“As for the profound ark, we have already prepared it for your departure.”

Yun Lintian calmly accepted the cards and stated, “We will leave in one hour.”

Dongfang Xue nodded in response. “I will take you to the transport hub later.”

Dongfang Hao addressed Yun Lintian, “While I understand you possess your own objectives, I urge you to exercise caution upon reaching the Nine Heavens Realm.”

“Two particularly nefarious groups exist there, the Heavenly Tribulation Cult and the Shadow Court. Both factions are utterly evil. Once they set their sights on you, they will pursue your demise relentlessly.”

“Who are they?” Yun Yi inquired out of curiosity.

“As their name implies, the Heavenly Tribulation Cult is a group of fanatics who worship the Heavenly Tribulation,” Dongfang Hao explained. “They believe themselves to be messengers of the Heaven’s Will, tasked with judging those they deem sinners.”

“The Shadow Court, on the other hand, remains shrouded in mystery. Some theories suggest they originated from the former Heavenly Court, although the truth remains unknown. They operate more like a group of assassins lurking in the shadows.”

“They frequently undertake assassination contracts. Over the years, countless powerhouses at the God Ascension Realm have fallen victim to their hands.”

Yun Yi and the others expressed surprise.

“Where is the Chaos Goddess? How can she tolerate them?” Yun Yi further questioned.

“The Chaos Goddess?…” Dongfang Hao exhaled. “She’s been missing for quite some time now. The Nine Heavens Realm is currently under the leadership of six true gods, the Shadow God, the Heavenly Tribulation God, the Crimson Demonic God, the Ghost Lantern God, the Jade Mountain God, and the Plum Blossom God.”

“Each of them is incredibly powerful. Without the Chaos Goddess’s suppression, they’ve become increasingly unrestrained. Among them, the Jade Mountain God and the Plum Blossom God are considered on the good side.”

Yun Lintian made a mental note, planning to ask Lan Qinghe about this later.

“The Nine Heavens Realm boasts numerous secret realms,” Dongfang Hao continued, placing a map on the table. “Here’s a star map.”

“Thank you very much,” Yun Lintian calmly responded as he accepted the map.

“This is all the assistance I can offer in my current position. If you encounter an insurmountable obstacle, feel free to contact me directly. While I cannot guarantee a specific outcome, I can ensure your safety,” Dongfang Hao said with a serious expression.

“Understood,” Yun Lintian nodded.

Creak—

A creaking sound echoed through the room as the door opened, revealing Long Qingxuan.

Yun Lintian, surprised, glanced at Dongfang Hao. It was clear that the latter had intentionally allowed Long Qingxuan to overhear their conversation.

“Greetings, Dragon Princess,” Dongfang Hao stated politely upon seeing her. Despite his high standing, he maintained a humble demeanor in her presence, evidencing his deep respect for the Primordial Azure Dragon God.

Long Qingxuan responded calmly, “There’s no need for formalities. I am nothing more than a weakling at present.”

Turning to Yun Lintian, she declared, “I want to visit the Dragon God Realm.”

Yun Lintian shook his head, “Not now. We’ll go together later. Remember, your problems are my problems as well.”

Long Qingxuan fell silent.

Zhang Yu briefly glanced at the pair before averting her gaze away. She now understood the relationship between them.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Hao observed them thoughtfully, seemingly discovering another secret.

“Very well,” Long Qingxuan said calmly. “I’m sorry for causing trouble.”

With that, she turned and retreated to her room.

Stunned, Yun Lintian turned to Yun Yi as if seeking confirmation of what he had just heard — Long Qingxuan had actually apologized…
