In the Dragon's Tomb.
The guards of Dragon Mound remained diligent, steadfastly protecting the entrance to Dragon Mound even amidst the Dragon City War. However, Zhang Mingyi and his companions were assigned to guard the back mountain, and the guards of Dragon Mound were aware of this and did not trouble them.
The Guard Captain of Dragon Mound was named Lingfeng, and no one knew his surname. Wang Long had seen him when he came out from Dragon Mound that day and had some impression of him.
“Captain Lingfeng, how is the situation inside Dragon Mound?!” Zhang Mingyi asked with concern as soon as he saw him, his brow furrowed.
Lingfeng also wore a grim expression and replied in a low voice, “It seems that the dragon head has encountered a formidable opponent. From here, it’s hard to see clearly, but the two have been fighting fiercely for half a day... The cries of a hundred dragons echo within Dragon Mound, an unprecedented scene.”
“However, it seems much quieter now; I wonder what the reason is…”
Zhang Mingyi nodded and said to Wang Long and Jiang Xue, “Let’s go; perhaps they have finished their battle…”
Wang Long nodded, and following Zhang Mingyi, they bypassed the guards of Dragon Mound and headed deeper into Dragon Mound.
Along the way, the Wandering Dragon Souls were all in a state of panic, and none came to disturb or obstruct them, which saved the three a lot of trouble.
At this moment, everyone had gained experience and moved with ease, quickly arriving at the core area deep within Dragon Mound.
From a distance, it looked just as it had when they left: only a stone door and two figures silently confronting each other. However, judging by the completely shattered ground surrounding them and the sparse Dragon Qi in the air, it was clear that their battle must have been earth-shattering and indescribable.
As the three slowly approached, they heard the Azure Robed Man who called himself Changxi, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, still smiling as he said, “Indeed worthy of being the Lord of Dragon City; you have not disappointed me.”
The dragon head's expression was solemn as he replied sternly, “Senior’s power is unfathomable and surpasses mine. If not for my advantageous position in time and space, I would have likely already been defeated.”
Upon hearing these words, the three were taken aback. If that were the case, the visitor's strength was actually above that of the Dragon Head! This was simply inconceivable!
Changxi smiled and said, "You are being modest. Even though I have the advantage of years of experience and accumulation, it is only a slight edge. Even without relying on the terrain, determining who will win or lose is not something that can be decided in a short time."
The Dragon Head chuckled, "Indeed. So... do you wish to continue fighting?"
Changxi sighed, "I underestimated the later generations. It seems that obtaining my things is not so easy... But do not get too pleased with yourself; I will return sooner or later. By that time... I hope you are still alive."
He glanced at the Dragon Head, his expression filled with cunning and malice, revealing a sinister smile. Then he burst into laughter and walked away step by step.
Wang Long looked at his retreating figure and saw him step directly into the void as if walking on air. With each step, he rose a foot higher, and with another step down, he ascended another foot, slowly making his way to the mountaintop.
The Dragon Head silently watched him leave, showing no intention of stopping him.
Before long, that person's figure disappeared into the Cloud Sea, never to be seen again.
Only then did the Dragon Head lower his head and cough heavily, a trace of blood slowly trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Dragon Head!"
"Dragon Head!"
Zhang Mingyi and Wang Long shouted anxiously as they hurried forward to support him. Even Jiang Xue's face turned pale, unable to suppress her slight trembling.
"It’s nothing... This person is unfathomable. If we do not eliminate him today, he will become a great threat in the future. It’s just a pity... at this moment my strength has not recovered, and I cannot fully suppress him. I can only wait for another opportunity," he said, casting a deep glance at Wang Long, his expression filled with desolation.
Wang Long understood that this meant leaving the great enemy to himself... The life of the Dragon Head had less than half a year left.
So he could only suppress the anger in his heart and nodded heavily.
The Dragon Head smiled with relief and casually sat down. No one had seen the Dragon Head sit on the ground outside the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall before, and everyone was a bit stunned.
"Sit down, you three," the Dragon Head said with a slight smile, patting the ground of Dragon Mound.
Zhang Mingyi hesitated for a moment but still sat down beside him. However, his sense of awe remained, so he could only sit sideways, not daring to relax too much.
Wang Long and Jiang Xue also sat down behind him.
"What is the situation at the front?" the Dragon Head asked first.
Zhang Mingyi quickly replied, "All three city gates are holding firm. Although the enemy is fierce, it seems that we are safe for now. After nightfall, they have already temporarily retreated."
The Dragon Head nodded and said, "Hmm, good... What do you think about the outcome of this war?"
Zhang Mingyi declared resolutely, "The people of Long City will work together and surely be able to defend our city; we will not lose an inch of land."
The Dragon Head smiled and said, "I think so too... However, what is important is not this war, but what comes after it... Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Mingyi's heart stirred. Although he had a carefree personality, he was still from Dragon Hidden and could perceive some things. However, at this moment, he did not dare to speak carelessly and chose to remain silent.
The Dragon Head sighed deeply: "In Long City, there are many things that are rigid, outdated, or even wrong... But even if reform is needed, it cannot happen overnight. I am not a stubborn person, but I firmly reject anything that harms the interests of the entire Long City. Everything should be based on the overall situation of Long City; I hope you can take this as a standard."
Zhang Mingyi said in a deep voice, "The leader is right. I will remember that."
The leader smiled, "Good, then let's go back. We should be discussing matters at the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall tonight. The Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons are probably waiting for me."
After saying this, he casually grabbed all three of them and flew up high, directly soaring out from above Dragon Mound and back into Dragon City.
Naturally, the three of them did not have the qualifications to participate in the discussions, so the leader placed them down in Dragon City and headed towards the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall first.
"I'll temporarily return to the Dragon Hidden base to rest for a while and prepare for tomorrow's battle. What about you two? Are you planning to go somewhere? Do you want to come back to Dragon Hidden with me?" Zhang Mingyi asked with a smile.
Wang Long glanced at Jiang Xue, his expression somewhat serious as he replied, "No, we... just want to wander around."
Zhang Mingyi looked at the two of them and gave a helpless smile, waving his hand, "Alright then, I'll be on my way. War is no child's play, and life is short. Don't leave any regrets..."
Jiang Xue watched Zhang Mingyi's departing figure and quietly said, "Where do you want to wander around?"
Wang Long took her hand and said affectionately, "You know... just wandering around..."
