Chapter 0487: Clues to the Gold and Silver Balls
“Reporting to the family head!” At this moment, an elder from the Dogra family hurried forward and said, “I received a message from Tomaaf saying that someone killed Bowen, which is why I rushed here.”
This elder from the Dogra family was none other than Bowen’s grandfather, Elder Yehu, who had been killed by the Yellow Dragon first.
Bannay frowned. “Tomaaf?”
Since Tomaaf had only been appointed as the leader of the Tang Ancient City Law Enforcement Team in recent years, Bannay, who had been in seclusion for a long time, did not know who Tomaaf was.
“Family head, this Tomaaf is one of the leaders of the Tang Ancient City Law Enforcement Team,” Elder Yehu quickly explained.
Bannay nodded and then said in a deep voice, “Where is this Tomaaf?”
Everyone looked around, and soon, an old man with purple hair stepped forward from the crowd and said respectfully, “Tomaaf pays his respects to the family head!”
The old man with purple hair was indeed Tomaaf, one of the leaders of the Tang Ancient City Law Enforcement Team.
At that moment, the Yellow Dragon also retracted its Red Demon Beast, and Bradd returned to its side.
When Bradd returned to the Yellow Dragon’s side and respectfully addressed it as its young master, the powerful members of the Dogra family who had come from the headquarters were shocked.
Although they had come from the headquarters, they were not very clear about the situation. They only knew that there was an extraordinary strong person involved in the conflict with the Dogra family, but they did not realize that this person even had a master!
“Speak! What exactly happened?!” Bannay’s expression darkened, his eyes sharp as knives as he stared at Tomaaf.
He was both shocked and angry—shocked by Bradd’s strength and the identity of his mysterious young master, and angry at whoever had provoked them.
Under Bannay’s intense gaze and the watchful eyes of the elders around him, Tomaaf’s legs trembled violently as he stammered and recounted what had happened.
Gradually, Bannay and the elders of the Dogra family understood the whole situation, and they all turned their attention to Wayne, who was by the Yellow Dragon’s side.
Wayne, a worthless member of the Dogra family!
An abandoned infant adopted by an elder who had already died during one of his outings.
Since this elder had no children, he treated Wayne as his own son. While the elder was alive, Wayne held a high status in the family. But after the elder’s death, coupled with his inability to break through to the divine realm after centuries of cultivation, Wayne gradually became the subject of ridicule throughout the Dogra family.
Bannay and the elders of the Dogra family still remembered Wayne, but they never expected that the source of this incident would be this worthless member of the family!
Like Tro and Conny before them, they too couldn’t figure out why Huang Long, a person of such status, would take a liking to Wayne and make him his disciple. Everyone already understood the whole situation, but after Tomaf finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment. Bannay remained silent, as did the elders of the Daogla family. After a while, Bannay said coldly, “Take that Abu back to the family’s headquarters’ execution hall, lock him up in a prison, and execute him!” If it weren’t for Abu, and if Bowen and his men hadn’t oppressed Wayne, forcing Huang Long to intervene, then the powerful warriors of the Daogla family’s enforcement team wouldn’t have died, nor would Tro and Conny have perished. Now that Bowen and his men were dead, Bannay directed all his anger at Abu, who had escaped death. “Yes, family head!” an elder in charge of the execution hall of the Daogla family quickly replied respectfully. Even Abu’s elders didn’t dare speak after hearing Bannay’s order. In the distance, Abu, who had escaped death, collapsed when he learned he would be sentenced to extreme punishment by his family; his eyes lost their focus, and he appeared dazed. In the divine realm, all major families had systems of extreme punishment, each family’s method differing, but regardless of the family, such punishments were extremely cruel and terrifying. “Sir, Abu oppressed your disciple Wayne. I’ve ordered his execution. Are you satisfied?” Bannay said calmly after giving the order, then turned to Huang Long. Huang Long sneered inwardly. Bannay put it nicely, but it was merely out of anger over the death of his own son that he punished Abu; now he claimed it was because of Huang Long that Abu was executed. Huang Long nodded without commenting. “Since it was our fault, let’s end this matter here. What do you think, sir?” Bannay continued. Hearing that the matter would be settled, many elders of the Daogla family were stunned. They tried to speak up but were stopped by Bannay’s gesture. Seeing this, the elders had no choice but to hold back. If it had only been Bowen’s disciples who died, they wouldn’t have cared, but now not only those core disciples had died but also over a million members of the Daogla family! Most of these over a million Daogla family members were high-ranking gods! This had struck a deep blow to the Daogla family. Huang Long seemed to have anticipated this outcome; he didn’t respond either. Instead, he said to Bradd and the others, “Let’s go back!” With that, under the watchful eyes of Bannay and the others, Huang Long and his group vanished into thin air. Seeing this, a glint appeared in Bannay’s eyes. He couldn’t figure out how Huang Long and his group left.
“Chieftain, are you really going to let them go like this?!” After Huang Long and the others left, Elder Yehu couldn’t help but speak up. Many elders from the Daogela family also spoke one after another. “Are you questioning my decision?!” Bannai glared coldly at the elders of the Daogela family around him. All the originally indignant elders fell silent, too afraid to speak. Bannai sneered inwardly—he knew exactly what these elders were thinking. Many of their kin had died at the hands of those Crimson Demon Beasts just now. With a dark expression, Bannai carried his son, the Divine Body of Tuo, and flew away, heading back to the Daogela family’s headquarters. The others had no choice but to follow closely behind. “Yehu!” Bannai said solemnly on the way. “Here, master,” Elder Yehu hurried forward. “Send people to investigate immediately, especially that peerless warrior and the identity of his young master. Make sure you find out everything clearly—the faster and more detailed, the better!” Bannai ordered coldly. “Yes, master. Please rest assured,” Elder Yehu replied respectfully. In fact, even if Bannai hadn’t asked, they would have figured out the identities of those people anyway. Bannai nodded. Meanwhile, Huang Long, who had brought Bradd and the others back to the Luofu Villa, summoned Wayne to his courtyard. “What are your plans from now on?” Huang Long asked. Wayne, still dazed from returning to the Luofu Villa with Huang Long and the others, felt lost, not knowing where he was. After all, what had happened today was too shocking for him. Huang Long—his newly recognized master—had a guard named Bradd who was actually a peerless warrior! A warrior as extraordinary as the master he had always looked up to. All along, his greatest wish had been to break through to the Divine Realm, gather enough Divine Stones to transform his body in the Divine Transformation Pool, and become a god-tier warrior. He had never dared to hope for anything more. But now, not only had he broken through to the Divine Realm in just one day, but he could also take a peerless warrior as his master?! In his eyes, if someone could recruit a peerless warrior as a guard, then his master must undoubtedly be one as well. “Wayne,” Huang Long said again when he saw his disciple still standing there in shock. Only then did Wayne snap out of his daze. “Master, w-what did you just say?” Wayne stammered, uneasy, lowering his head for fear of being blamed by Huang Long. But Huang Long smiled and said, “I asked what your plans are from now on.”
“Plan?” Wayne looked up, then fell silent. After a while, he said respectfully, “If the master does not reject me, I will follow the master from now on, wherever the master goes, I will go as well.” Now, it was impossible for him to return to the Dogra family. Even if he wanted to go back, the Dogra family would not allow it.
Although the millions of members of the Dogra family were not killed by him, they died because of him. If he returned, the elders, brothers, and relatives of those millions of Dogra family members would surely devour his flesh.
Huang Long nodded and then fell into deep thought.
Soon, the Dogra family would surely discover his identity. By then, news of his presence here would also have spread, and it would eventually reach Sikar, the Great Lord of the Red Demons. He could no longer stay here.
However, at present, Huang Long was no longer worried that Sikar would reveal his possession of the Chaos Bell. Some time had passed since then, and there was no news about him possessing the Supreme Divine Artifact, which indicated that Sikar intended to kill Huang Long and keep the Supreme Divine Artifact for himself.
Under such circumstances, Sikar would not reveal this matter in the short term.
But for now, the most important thing for Huang Long was to find the Five-Clawed Chaos Dragon as soon as possible.
Huang Long took out the gold and silver ball, gazing at it with a sigh.
At this moment, Wayne, who had been standing by quietly watching Huang Long think without daring to speak, was surprised when he saw Huang Long take out the gold and silver ball.
Seeing Wayne’s expression, Huang Long became curious and asked, “Do you recognize this gold and silver ball?”
Wayne did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a gold and silver ball identical to the one in Huang Long’s hand from his space ring.
“Master, look,” Wayne said, handing the gold and silver ball to Huang Long.
Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Huang Long’s eyes. He hadn’t expected his newly recruited disciple to also have such a gold and silver ball. After taking it, he used his divine sense to sense it and found that it was exactly the same as the one he had bought.
“How did you get this gold and silver ball?” Huang Long asked.
“Reporting to the master, Grandpa Ande gave it to me before he died,” Wayne replied respectfully.
Grandpa Ande? Huang Long was puzzled.
Wayne quickly explained who Grandpa Ande was and briefly recounted the whole story.
Only then did Huang Long learn that his disciple was an abandoned infant adopted by an elder of the Dogra family. This elder was none other than the Grandpa Ande he mentioned. After going out on a mission, Ande returned seriously injured and on the verge of death. Before dying, he handed the gold and silver ball to Wayne.
“Then has your Grandpa Ande told you how he got these gold and silver balls?” Huang Long asked.
