The Dragon Leader let out a bitter laugh, "I admit I have my own selfish motives... First, I do not wish to see those remaining Elder Patriarchs die again! I know that even in your severely injured state, you could easily wipe out dozens or even hundreds of experts! Second... I do not want to see you die!"
Dragon Duel scoffed, "Hypocritical!"
The Dragon Leader smiled, "You can say whatever you like, but we have shared a bond. Moreover... you are the only living True Dragon in this world! As the Dragon Leader, my primary duty is to protect the dragon lineage; how could I possibly erase an existence like yours?"
"Third... I want to give you a chance. I hope that during your time of sealing, you can reflect deeply and ultimately understand my intentions. Perhaps by then, the seal will no longer be necessary, and you might even have a chance at rebirth."
Dragon Duel snorted, "Fourth?"
The Dragon Leader smiled again, "Indeed, there are other reasons... Even at that time, I could see how precarious the Dragon City was after thousands of years of heritage. Although I do not know where the enemy lies, I can deeply feel the shadow of internal and external troubles."
"But even by my side, I cannot see anyone trustworthy... perhaps except for my master, but he is old and unwilling to meddle in worldly affairs."
"So, I can only create a powerful expert myself—someone who can match me and will be absolutely loyal to me and to Dragon City... Who could that person be? It can only be my own son, Wang Long."
Wang Long remained silent, yet his heart was tumultuous.
"So, you had already planned everything back then... Then what about the curse at eighteen? That seal was meant to activate its final effect when I came of age, erasing both me and Dragon Soul, right? Did you know back then that I would survive?"
The Dragon Leader shook his head and sighed, "No, I did not know... But I believe in Dragon Duel's power; perhaps no one understands him as well as I do. He will not yield; even under my seal for eighteen years, it is enough time for him to accumulate enough strength to save himself and also save you."
"However, you did very well. Even when you thought you would surely die, you still displayed immense courage and strength. At that time, I felt pain and guilt for what I had done but was also proud of you!"
Dragon Soul laughed heartily, "So you had everything planned from the start... All my efforts over the years were merely for you to cultivate your son and successor?"
The Dragon Leader shook his head, "You are mistaken... My original intention was for both of you to influence each other so that my son could grow rapidly. I hoped that you could see the sincerity and kindness of humanity through him and gradually understand my thoughts."
"However, until now, I think this plan has turned out quite well... My son has grown quickly, and you, Dragon Soul, have not disappointed me by choosing to awaken through him. I believe this is a crucial step."
Dragon Duel sneered, "You know that was just to temporarily escape..."
The Dragon Leader chuckled, "Say what you will; in any case, I am content at this moment and can leave in peace... With my son in Dragon City, I believe things will gradually improve. Dragon Duel, I just hope you can make the right choices and not go down the wrong path again."
"Hmph, how do you know that your son's thoughts will be the same as yours? Perhaps he will agree with me and won't be like you, stuck in one place and unwilling to make progress!"
Longtou laughed, "I have always said that whatever choice he makes, I will support him. No, this is not Longtou's plan; it is a father's unconditional trust in his son."
Wang Long raised his head and said, "So you will support me? I won't let Long City be slaughtered! Li Xinglie, and that so-called Human Emperor, anyone who intends to lay a hand on Long City will find no mercy from me! Since they want to provoke me, I will take the initiative to strike and make them pay the price!"
Dragon Duel laughed heartily, "Good! You truly have more ambition than your father!"
Longtou also smiled and said, "If this is your choice, then I will support you one hundred percent. Go for it! I believe you can do it; after all, you are my son and the... Fourth Generation Longtou of Long City!"
He suddenly looked around and smiled lightly, "My time is short. Here, I am just a memory that will soon fade away... Take good care of the Black Iron Ring, be a good Longtou, and live well, my son..."
Longtou's figure gradually became blurry, merging slowly with the surrounding pure white light before vanishing into the void.
Wang Long instinctively reached out to grab something but only touched the emptiness of light.
"Dragon Duel, what are your plans?"
"Me? My fate has long been sealed. Even if your father has sealed it away, even after all these years, nothing will change! I can temporarily assist you by helping you improve your cultivation and sharing my power with you. However, when you reach the point where you can break the seal, I will naturally have my own choices."
Wang Long whispered, "Thank you... For now, I still need your power. But one day, if I truly manage to break through and surpass my father's stage, I will grant you rebirth. Even if... even if you might repeat the same mistakes or even become my enemy."
Dragon Soul laughed, "If that day comes, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Wang Long smiled back, "Alright, let's go! I wonder what the situation in Long City is like now..."
With a thought, Wang Long's figure exited the space within the Black Iron Ring and reappeared in the world.
Wang Yuanxian was momentarily taken aback but soon smiled.
"The Longtou has come out..."
Many Elder Patriarchs immediately surrounded him, bowing down to the ground and loudly proclaiming, "We pay our respects to the Longtou!"
Wang Long smiled slightly and said, "Li Xinglie is dead, and the other members of the Li Family will not be pursued! Li Mohai will continue to take on the position of Li Family Head, and Elder Longya will be succeeded by the former elder Li Mingyuan! The other family heads and elders will continue in their roles. This Dragon City disaster has caused heavy losses and consumed much. All family heads and elders must reassure their subordinates and the people; we cannot afford to be careless!"
Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing across the land.
Liu Hongchuan, however, was flushed with anger and said solemnly, "Leader! Please strip me of my position as Grand Elder. I was taken advantage of by that traitor Li Xinglie, and even... revealed the whereabouts of Dragon Without a Leader to him. I have no face to continue as Grand Elder!"
Wang Long smiled, "Elder Liu leaked important information and should be punished. However, considering your years of contributions and that you were under the influence of Li Xinglie's mind-altering techniques; moreover, during the battle to eliminate Li Xinglie, it was thanks to you revealing the secret of Dragon Without a Leader that we were able to succeed so smoothly. Your merits offset your faults, so I will spare you from punishment! Elder Liu, at this moment when the hearts of the people in Dragon City are changing, with internal troubles and external threats, you cannot neglect your duties out of guilt; that would make you a sinner in Dragon City!"
Liu Hongchuan was greatly shaken and suddenly realized. He quickly bowed down and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Leader. Thank you for your trust! Liu Hongchuan is willing to dedicate himself wholeheartedly for Dragon City!"
"However..." he paused hesitantly and asked, "What about that Dragon Without a Leader, that unparalleled Fierce Beast? What is its current situation?"
Wang Long smiled, "I have placed it in a secret location where no one knows. Moreover... if possible, I will find a way to destroy it. Such a Fierce Beast should not exist in this world."
"Leader is wise."
Dragon Without a Leader was swallowed into an internal space along with the Black Iron Ring and the corpses of Wang Long and Li Xinglie. At this moment, it was sealed within the ring by Wang Long; aside from himself, no one else could possibly obtain it even if they destroyed the ring.
