Chapter 1970: Chapter 1967: Destined Mortal Enemies! (Fifth Update!)
Over the years, the Dragon Maiden had indeed heard of such legends within the Hidden Gate, tales of individuals who specialize in capturing humans or monster beasts with extraordinary talent, extracting their abilities and bloodlines for their own use.
This allowed them to effortlessly master all skills! Compared to cultivation, this method was quicker, more domineering!
That’s why promising young talents from the Hidden Gate frequently disappeared without explanation. Initially, people thought it was simply unexpected accidents, being killed by strong individuals or monster beasts, until later, someone escaped from there and revealed a sliver of truth.
However, those who spoke the truth mysteriously died in the end.
This also became a puzzle in the hearts of many cultivators.
Back then, when the Dragon Maiden heard this rumor, she simply laughed it off, believing that bloodlines and talents weren’t so easily extracted.
Now, seeing everything before her eyes, she was certain this matter was true!
The young man beside her possessed the formidable Divine Tiger Bloodline!
But as time went by, the bloodline and vitality within the young man were rapidly diminishing!
“Damn it!”
She knew very well that if she didn’t escape soon, she would end up like the young man beside her.
She forced herself to calm down, beginning to recall the events after escaping the Northern Wilderness Sea.
At that time, she was very weak, and the three of them were attacked by the Sea Tribe.
She wanted to tear open the void for everyone to escape, but couldn’t do it.
The Ancient Kylin and she both fell, only the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger struggled to hold on.
In the end, the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger must have won; in her memory, that was the outcome.
However, the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger paid the price, suffering severe injuries! After all, he alone fought!
Even though he was born for battle, he couldn’t possibly defeat millions of Sea Tribe powerhouses!
Next, her consciousness blurred. She vaguely saw a burly man, a man enveloped in the aura of the Divine Dragon, who glanced at them and immediately had his subordinates take them away.
As for what happened after they were taken, she had no idea.
All she knew was that when she woke up, she was in this shabby place, her cultivation restricted by these broken chains!
She looked around and did not find the Ancient Kylin and Corroding Sky Striped Tiger.
Given their extraordinary bloodlines, they naturally couldn’t have been killed. The enemy couldn’t easily extract their bloodlines either, so the two were likely held in an even more secure location.
The Dragon Maiden pondered every possibility of escape, but for now, the chances seemed zero.
“Damn it!”
She tried the power of space again, realizing she could now gather about ten centimeters’ worth of opening!
Though far from enough, as long as she had enough time, she could escape!
By then, she’d find Brother Feifan, and everyone would be safe!
Just then, a few burly youths in armor approached, glancing at the nearly lifeless young man beside the Dragon Maiden.
“This guy’s bloodline is almost completely absorbed, move on to the next person!”
Saying this, one of them removed the chains from the young man and carried away the corpse.
The remaining two skipped over the Dragon Maiden, picked a man with an even more terrifying aura, and activated the chains!
The man, who was restrained, instantly opened his eyes in pain!
“Who are you! Why have you imprisoned me here!”
As soon as the man uttered these words, he was knocked unconscious by the armoured men.
The chains instantly flowed with a blue energy, heading into the depths.
After finishing all this, the armored men left, muttering as they walked:
“This person’s bloodline is strong, and his talent isn’t bad, the Overlord Dragon King should be pleased, and the final absorption result should be around thirty percent.”
“Do you think once Overlord Dragon King absorbs the bloodlines of the Ancient Kylin and Corroding Sky Striped Tiger, he’d become terrifying enough to slay Ren Ao Tian with a single strike?”
“What do you mean by that, it’s not like Lord Dragon King can’t kill Ren Ao Tian now! Ren Ao Tian has barely cultivated for many years, and our Overlord Dragon King has cultivated for how many years? There’s no comparison!”
“You’re right in that sense. But on another note, how were the Ancient Kylin and Corroding Sky Striped Tiger brought here at all? With their strength, it shouldn’t be possible.”
“I’m not sure about that, they were brought back by Lord Dragon Bin, I heard after hearing about this, Overlord Dragon King immediately promoted Lord Dragon Bin to his right-hand man! Once Lord King unifies the Dragon Clan, Lord Dragon Bin would be akin to the rank of Ninth Grade Elder!”
“Forget it, we at this level shouldn’t be talking about such matters. Three days later, when Dragon King absorbs those two heaven-defying bloodlines, we’ll be busy, hey how about having some fun after work today?”
“Heh heh, I was thinking the same, let’s go…”
The Dragon Maiden memorized their conversation thoroughly, almost shouting in surprise upon hearing Ren Ao Tian’s name.
It seemed she had already arrived in the Dragon Clan, albeit in a miserable manner.
Overlord Dragon King, Dragon Bin, she firmly etched these names in her mind.
If she ever gets the chance to escape, she must kill these two!
“The priority is to quickly restore my spatial power.” The Dragon Maiden closed her eyes and fell silent.
Everything returned to darkness.
…
The next day, at Ren’s Mansion.
Ren Feifan still hadn’t received the Ancient Dust Sword. He even suspected that the sword may have flown too far and lost its way.
He originally wanted to find Ren Ao Tian, for once he found Ren Ao Tian, finding the Dragon Maiden and the others with his abilities would naturally be easy.
But Elder Ren told him that he had inquired in the morning, the Hall Master had entered indefinite secluded cultivation.
No one could see him.
He could only put the matter on hold.
Fortunately, by noon, Ren Feifan finally received good news.
“Mr. Ren, today I had someone ask around, and we have news of the people in your portrait.” Said Dragon Yuan, a servant of Ren’s Mansion.
Ren Feifan immediately approached Dragon Yuan, excitedly asking, “Where are they?”
Dragon Yuan hesitated, as if there was something he was reluctant to say.
“Just speak boldly, I’ll keep this a secret for you.” Ren Feifan said solemnly, forming a Concealing Formation with a quick decision, “Frankly, I am an Array Master. Under this formation, even the Heavenly Path would not detect our conversation.”
Dragon Yuan was slightly shocked seeing the flowing formation waves above his head, he never expected the man before him controlled such terrifying formations.
No longer hesitating, he directly said, “Someone told me that your friends seemed to have had a major battle with the Sea Tribe by the shore, they narrowly won but were severely injured!”
“Where are they recuperating now?”
Ren Feifan was filled with fury, already regarding the Sea Tribe as a collection of corpses.
Once the Dragon Clan matters are settled, he himself would slay those Northern Wilderness Sea Hydras!
“They’re not recuperating… they seem to have been taken away by the hands of the Overlord Dragon King!” Dragon Yuan said, trembling.
“Bang!”
The next instant, Ren Feifan slammed his fist on the table before him! The table shattered instantly!
Again with the Overlord Dragon King!
Does this person must seek eternal hatred to be satisfied!
The three Dragon Maiden must have been severely injured, and for the Overlord Dragon King to take them away at this time, it would only add insult to injury!
This beast would help them? Utterly impossible!
Although he did not know why the Overlord Dragon King’s men took Dragon Maiden and the others, there was one thing he was certain of!
Dragon Maiden and the others were in great danger now! Extreme danger!
