Chapter 0086: The Truth

Want to say something? Huang Long’s dark golden eyes stared coldly at the other party.
Yet before Mo Luo and the Golden Sacred DragonPhit could speak, suddenly, waves of immense power surged forward, accompanied by several screams. Their expressions changed as they saw the two lower-stage Sacred Realm warriors who had been fighting against the Sky Blue Python Ox blasted away—one of them dead. Meanwhile, Felix, the commander of the Lion Army fighting against the Nine-Color Phoenix Bird, his battle pet, the Golden-Winged Fire Lion, was severely injured while trying to block the Phoenix Bird’s most powerful skill, “Nine Strikes of the Phoenix,” and seemed doomed to die.
The Silver Moon Howling Wolf, using its innate skill “Silver Moon Charm,” also killed one of its opponents, a lower-stage Sacred Realm warrior.
Two lower-stage Sacred Realm warriors, and one mid-stage Sacred Realm magical beast!
Seeing the situation, Mo Luo’s face twisted in anguish. These were the three great Sacred Realms—such heavy losses!
Mo Luo, who had initially wanted to seek peace with Huang Long, felt his heart bleed. Anger surged within him, but when he saw Huang Long approaching slowly, he was shocked, and his anger subsided instantly.
Endure! I’ll endure!
Though filled with rage and murderous intent, Mo Luo could only hold back for now.
“Elder, it was my country’s crown princess who first captured your younger brother and sister. I’ve taken blame for you, and now that the crown princess is dead, I beg you to leave and stop pursuing this further!” Mo Luo said slowly, his face twisting with each word. In a thousand years, had he ever had to swallow his anger like this?
Anger and murderous intent boiled within him, along with hatred!
He began to hate that foolish crown princess. If not for her, how could the empire suffer such humiliation? If not for her, the three great Sacred Realms wouldn’t be destroyed! The imperial palace wouldn’t be in such ruins!
Yet he still didn’t know that the Dragon Lord and his battle pet were dead. If he did, it wouldn’t just be the three great Sacred Realms—five great Sacred Realms—lost, and he would surely go mad!
Du Meng’s reckless actions had cost the Dragon Language Empire five great Sacred Realms!
At that moment, the battle between the two sides paused temporarily.
The warriors of the Dragon Language Empire retreated behind Mo Luo, while the beasts behind Huang Long watched each other warily.
Dead silence reigned in the surroundings.
The cold wind howled, scattering the lingering scent of blood.
A tense atmosphere filled the air.
The warriors of the Dragon Language Empire looked at Huang Long with fury, fear, and a hint of expectation.
This dragon-man was truly incredibly powerful!

Molo was the leader of the various sacred realms in the Dragon Speech Empire, and his strength was well-known to all. Moreover, his battle pet, the golden sacred dragonPhit, was on par with high-ranking sacred realm beings. Yet these two high-ranking sacred realm beings were being suppressed in terms of attack by the other party—completely unable to fight back.
What were those five flags floating around this dragon-man’s body?
When they saw the green rainbow sword suspended atop the yellow dragon’s head, the hearts of the sacred realm beings in the Dragon Speech Empire trembled. Molo andPhit now looked utterly transformed, their bodies covered in sword wounds caused by that sword’s radiance.
Of course, within this grand formation, the yellow dragon hadn’t yet used some of its magical artifacts, such as the Five Pits Divine Cauldron, the Thunder Gathering Vessel, or the Immortal Binding Rope, because there was no need to reveal them all at this point. Nor had the yellow dragon’s original spirit appeared. If it were to be revealed now, although not as powerful as its physical form, it would at least be on par with mid-ranking sacred realm beings. Using swords to fight enemies could also be a decisive move in the future.
“Sacrifice as atonement?” The yellow dragon stared coldly at the other party.
Molo’s heart trembled as he took a deep breath and nodded, “Yes.”
“Sincerity?” The yellow dragon sneered. A mere empty promise of atonement—who would take it seriously in the future? With just those few sacred realm beings as witnesses?
“What then do you want?” Anger reappeared on Molo’s face. He had already gone as far as he could. If the other party demanded any further unreasonable conditions, he would fight to the death rather than let them get away unscathed, so much so that he even changed his tone of speech.
“My request is simple. Repeat those words you said earlier—just enough for all the citizens of your imperial city to hear,” the yellow dragon said slowly.
If the million citizens of the Dragon Speech Empire’s imperial city heard about this, and the news spread, even if the other party denied it later, he would still have a justifiable position. From then on, no one would blame the yellow dragon, after all, it wasn’t his fault. The crown princess of the Dragon Speech Empire had captured his brother and sister; it was only natural for him to retaliate. Otherwise, if the Dragon Speech Empire concealed the truth and fabricated stories claiming the yellow dragon had come to their palace, wreaked havoc, and killed indiscriminately, relying on his strength, it would anger all parties on the Eternal Yuan Continent, which would be detrimental to the yellow dragon. The yellow dragon might not care, but what about the Huang family? He needed to guard against possible future “black hands” from the Dragon Speech Empire.
Molo naturally understood the yellow dragon’s intentions. He had originally planned to do this anyway, but now… Yet if he didn’t, it was easy to imagine what the other party would do next. Moreover, their demands weren’t excessive—they were “reasonable.” But if he did this, the impact on the Dragon Speech Empire’s royal family in the future would be evident.

Mo Lo’s status was on par with that of the Imperial Emperor; if he admitted it, it would be equivalent to the Emperor doing so as well. Mo Lo’s expression shifted constantly as he stared at the gleaming Green Rainbow Sword atop the Yellow Dragon’s head, recalling the opponent’s terrifying strength and near-divine attacks. In the end, he could only muster his combat energy and repeat those words, sending them to every corner of the imperial palace. By the time he finished, Mo Lo seemed to have aged hundreds of years, his face filled with despair.

When Mo Lo’s words spread throughout the palace, most of the citizens who had been fleeing in panic calmed down, understanding that it was their imperial prince who had caused this, drawing such an unparalleled warrior to “demand punishment.” It had nothing to do with a war between empires! They had been thrown into a false alarm! As a result, even more people resented the imperial princess—that damned woman! She deserved to die! For a time, Du Meng became a hated figure, arousing widespread resentment among the people of the Dragon Language Empire’s capital.

As the Yellow Dragon and the other beasts flew away, the citizens of the Dragon Language Empire who had still been speculating finally felt relieved. Mo Lo watched the departing figures of the Yellow Dragon and his group, and like the Saints’ Realm behind him, emotions such as despair, regret, unwillingness, fear, and anger surged within him. Mo Lo sighed to the sky and then patted the golden sacred dragon sitting beside him: “Old friend, let’s go down.”

After leaving the Dragon Language Empire’s palace, the Yellow Dragon headed straight back to the Divine Wind City estate. When they returned, Bog was still gathering forces from various parts of the estate, and the orc Nat, who had been in other cities, had just rushed back, exhausted. However, Bog, Nat, the Cave Dragon, and the Golden-Eyed Purple Ape, who had been worried whether they could save the third and fourth young masters, were all stunned to see their master return with a group of sacred magical beasts and already have saved the third and fourth young masters.

“Master, did you just return from the Dragon Language Empire’s palace?” Bog asked hesitantly after a long silence. The Yellow Dragon nodded and asked, “Bog, have you found out anything about what I asked you to investigate?”

The wilderness trials at the Divine Wind Academy usually prohibited outsiders from entering, yet Huang Liang and Huang Yi were captured by people sent by that woman, Du Meng—something quite puzzling.
