The moonlit night was like water, and the first light of dawn began to show. Long Xiao Wu raced through the morning breeze, moving in a hurry, even without the time to inform Zhao Yang and the others. In his perception, the aura of a Dragon Pearl had appeared, emanating from hundreds of miles away.
It was said that a Dragon Pearl was the inner core of a True Dragon. The birth of a Dragon Pearl meant that a True Dragon had been hunted. The Divine Sense of the dragon clan was powerful, and the aura among kin was easily sensed. He suddenly felt the presence of the Dragon Pearl, which compelled him to rush forth.
Unless a dragon itself consented, the process of hunting a dragon for its core would take several hours. Forcefully taking it would only cause the Dragon Pearl to lose its complete divine power. This urgency drove Long Xiao Wu to act quickly, hoping to save someone.
His kin were already few in number, and he could not guess who besides himself would dare to escape from the strictly governed Dragon Domain. Any kin capable of possessing a Dragon Pearl was certainly not an ordinary individual.
Riding on clouds and chasing mist, Long Xiao Wu flew over numerous mountains and rivers until he arrived at an ancient city known as Dragon Slayer City. This ancient city was once the site of the Dragon Slaying Sect from ten thousand years ago. After the sect was disbanded, Dragon Slayer City gradually became deserted, turning into a ghost town.
At its peak, the Dragon Slaying Sect had hunted True Dragons, skinning countless Flood Dragons alive for their cores to sell as high-quality goods. At that time, everyone knew of the sect's power and unmatched prowess until one day they hunted down a True Dragon possessing a Dragon Pearl, finally provoking the clan leader of the dragons. An Ancestral Dragon emerged from seclusion and annihilated the Dragon Slaying Sect completely.
Since then, Dragon Slayer City became an ominous place, as too many innocent Flood Dragons had gathered grievances there. It was rumored that incredible events frequently occurred in this area; passing through was fine, but spending a night within the city would surely lead to death by morning.
However, Long Xiao Wu was unaware of this. He vaguely noticed two rusted characters on the city gate covered in dust, almost unreadable: Dragon City.
A sudden sense of foreboding arose in his heart. The clever Long Xiao Wu instantly realized that he might have fallen into a trap.
Now, Long Xiao Wu had reached an unparalleled level in the Divine Transformation Stage, just one step away from entering the Nascent Soul Stage. When a dragon reached this stage, its Dragon Soul would manifest, soaring through the skies and intimidating countless races while also attracting many evil cultivators daring enough to covet dragon treasures. A single dragon could yield treasures enough to elevate one or even several geniuses.
Yet Long Xiao Wu knew it was too late to retreat now. He felt increasingly certain that the aura of the Dragon Pearl resided within the city, and he faintly sensed a dragon's roar calling out for help—"Brother, save me."
"Could it be one of my four elder brothers?" Long Xiao Wu thought in shock. Growing up, aside from his eldest brother, his other brothers often regarded him as nothing more than an inept fat dragon and occasionally mocked him. But no matter what, they were still his brothers—blood is thicker than water.
However, he was puzzled as to how his brother could have fallen into someone else's hands. He knew that each of his brothers was an exceptional master, and by the time he left, his fourth brother had already reached the Dao Fruit Stage. It was impossible for a cultivator of the same level to hunt down a dragon at the Dao Fruit Stage. Could it be that a master at the Ascension Stage or even in the Tribulation Period was involved?
It should be noted that masters in the Tribulation Period were rarely seen in the cultivation world, and they were somewhat aware of the legends surrounding dragons. Recklessly provoking the dragon clan could lead to annihilation; if the dragons were to come out in full force, no sect in the cultivation world could withstand their wrath.
After the battle at Heavenly Mechanism Mountain, during the invasion of the demon clan, Long Xiao Wu had heard of four young individuals with extraordinary combat power who nearly breached the Central Sovereign's palace. The Mo God General was unable to resist them, and if it weren't for the Old God General's intervention, Zhongzhou might have been destroyed. At that time, Long Xiao Wu suspected it might have been his brothers thinking he was dead and seeking revenge for him.
However, during the Demon War, Long Xiao Wu gradually gained some notoriety. Perhaps his four brothers had heard news that he was alive, which prevented them from recklessly clashing with the Zhongzhou Royal Family. Unless the Old God General or Central Sovereign intervened, Long Xiao Wu couldn't think of anyone else capable of capturing his brother.
Following the aura of the dragon pearl, Long Xiao Wu arrived at a dilapidated altar in the city. In the center of the altar stood a high platform with a shimmering brocade box on it; the aura of the dragon pearl emanated from within. Long Xiao Wu dared not approach recklessly and instead used his telekinesis from outside the altar to gently open the box.
A burst of golden light erupted, and when he saw what was inside, Long Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief. It was merely a dragon scale, likely one of his own. During the great escape from Myriad Spirit Sect, he had transformed into a golden dragon and lost several dragon scales, which countless people had frantically snatched up. This was also why he had rushed in despite knowing it could be a trap; only something with a similar origin aura could deceive him into thinking his brother had been captured. Now realizing that someone had used special methods to make a dragon scale emit the aura of a dragon pearl, he understood it was a trap designed to capture him and immediately retreated.
"Since you've come, do you still wish to leave?" A young man suddenly appeared in the sky.
This young man was strikingly handsome with sharp brows and bright eyes, exceptionally tall and well-dressed. Dragon energy swirled around him as he glared at Long Xiao Wu with an unfriendly expression, as if sizing up prey with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Long Xiao Wu frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Shiyunsheng?"
"You know my useless second brother?" The handsome youth showed some interest and continued, "So you must be that young dragon who escaped from Myriad Spirit Sect back then. In the end, you still fell into our Dragon Seeking Gate's hands."
Long Xiao Wu raised his head to look at the youth and said, "So you're a remnant of Dragon Seeking Gate. No wonder you and Shiyunsheng are indeed brothers; not only do you look alike, but your wickedness runs deep in your bones."
As Long Xiao Wu spoke, he expanded his Divine Sense to observe his surroundings. Although this youth was skilled—likely at the Nascent Soul Stage—he knew it would be impossible for anyone to easily subdue him unless there were absolute formations in place. No one could hunt down dragons, not even those one realm higher than him.
"No need to observe any longer; we are all here." A cold voice echoed, and soon Shi Qiankun and the High Priest, along with a group of powerful figures, appeared at the edge of the altar, watching Long Xiao Wu with disdain.
Long Xiao Wu was furious. "Shi Qiankun, you have gone too far! Today, even if I die, I will take you down with me!"
The situation was clearly set to put Long Xiao Wu to death. He knew that no matter how great his abilities were, he could not escape this calamity. Therefore, he resolved to fight back fiercely. As the Golden Dragon Form, containing the Supreme Dragon Pearl within him, he would rather perish than hand over his still-forming dragon pearl to the Dragon Seeking Gate.
With a roar of a dragon, Long Xiao Wu leaped onto the altar and shot into the sky like a gust of wind, breaking through those who tried to block him. Dragon scales began to rise on his body, and golden dragons swirled around his hands. Wherever he passed, several people turned into mere bones, dying tragically.
Shiyunsheng and the High Priest did not intervene; they watched coldly as Long Xiao Wu prepared to fly away. Suddenly, an Order Chain shot out from the center of the altar and quickly wrapped around Long Xiao Wu's legs, throwing him violently to the ground. The Order Chain seemed almost sentient, rendering all of Long Xiao Wu's struggles futile.
"Even an adult Crimson Fire True Dragon couldn't escape this Binding Dragon Chain back in the day; what chance do you have as a little dragon?" Shiyunsheng mocked as he looked at Long Xiao Wu.
Long Xiao Wu did not respond. Instead, he took off the Golden Necklace holding the Nine Golden Orbs from around his neck and silently recited an incantation. The Nine Golden Orbs suddenly soared into the air and hovered above his head. Their multicolored light transformed into sharp swords that sliced through the Order Chain binding his feet with a loud crash. Long Xiao Wu turned and fled.
Shiyunsheng and the High Priest were utterly astonished because the Order Chain was a Dao Artifact passed down through generations in the Dragon Seeking Gate. Although its rank was not high, it had a lethal suppressive force against dragonkind. The fact that it was easily shattered by the mysterious artifact above Long Xiao Wu's head indicated that this necklace was extraordinary—likely a legendary Supreme Dao Artifact.
However, they were not worried about Long Xiao Wu escaping. All members of the Dragon Seeking Gate were present, and they had set up intricate formations around them beforehand. Even if Long Xiao Wu transformed into his dragon form, they had ways to deal with it; after all, they were successors of the Dragon Slaying Sect and were well-versed in various dragon-hunting techniques.
