Chapter 0537: Farewell to the Seven-Color Coiling Dragon
Joey sent another message: the Yellow Dragon was coming to the Sak family’s headquarters. Though not much was said, it briefly mentioned Long Yi’s matter.
This made Lei Meng uneasy. Although it was Gerard from the Gabli family who angered the Yellow Dragon, Long Yi’s issue was still related to the Sak family. Moreover, that damned Stuo had also failed to recognize the Yellow Dragon, just like Gerard!
So Lei Meng knew that the Yellow Dragon’s visit to the Sak family’s headquarters wasn’t just a simple one-day stay. At the very least, before leaving, a satisfactory resolution to Long Yi’s matter must be found. Lei Meng pondered secretly the relationship between Long Yi and the Yellow Dragon—how could this minor outer-circle mid-tier divine guard have met the Yellow Dragon?! How could he even make the Yellow Dragon come to the Sak family’s headquarters just for his sake?!
Led by Lei Meng and the Sak family’s elders, the Yellow Dragon and others arrived at the Sak family’s grand hall. Once there, the Yellow Dragon and his group sat down, but Lei Meng and the elders dared not sit either; they stood below, waiting for the Yellow Dragon’s orders.
Long Yi sat at the end, feeling extremely uneasy. After all, he was now a guard of the Sak family, while Lei Meng was the family head. As for Maki, there was no need to say more.
“Lei Meng,” said the Yellow Dragon, sitting atop the hall and looking down at him calmly.
Lei Meng’s heart tightened as he quickly stood up and replied respectfully.
“Long Yi is my friend—someone I’ve shared life and death with,” the Yellow Dragon said, recalling the times when they had gone to the Tianyun Dimensional Space, been pursued by powerful warriors there, and gotten trapped on Dark Stars.
Life and death together!
Lei Meng’s heart skipped a beat as he nodded in agreement. He understood what the Yellow Dragon meant.
He never expected Long Yi and the Yellow Dragon to be friends who had shared such hardships!
Now they knew how to handle Long Yi’s matter. Not only Lei Meng but also the Sak family’s elders glanced at Long Yi in surprise, mixed with envy and jealousy.
Afterward, the Yellow Dragon asked Lei Meng and the others about the details of the Abyssal Sea. Naturally, they answered all his questions. Of course, they also guessed that the Yellow Dragon was likely heading to the Abyssal Sea and stopped by here after encountering Long Yi’s matter.
“Reporting to Lord Yellow Dragon, the head of the Gabli family is outside the hall, requesting an audience,” Lei Meng said after a pause. He had just received a message from a disciple outside.
The Yellow Dragon nodded. “Let him in.”
The head of the Gabli family arrived. Huang Long had already known about it, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly. It seemed he already knew about Gerald.
Lei Meng bowed respectfully and then asked the family members to bring in the head of the Gabli family. Under normal circumstances, if the head of the Gabli family came, Lei Meng would greet him personally, but now, he didn’t dare!
Before long, the members of the Sak family brought in a middle-aged man with gray hair—Scor, the current head of the Gabli family.
Scor entered the hall, not daring to lift his head. Once he reached the hall, he quickly bowed respectfully and said, “Your humble servant Scor pays his respects to Lord Huang Long!”
Although Huang Long was comparable to a supreme deity, all the gods knew that he hadn’t merged with the supreme divine essence. Therefore, everyone addressed him as Lord Huang Long rather than the supreme god.
“Get up,” Huang Long said, looking at Scor below.
But Scor bowed even lower, trembling as he said, “Your humble servant dares not. The family members have offended Lord Huang Long. I am willing to die to atone for their sins, hoping that Lord Huang Long will show mercy. This has nothing to do with the other members of the Gabli family.”
After Scor spoke, an eerie silence fell over the hall.
Huang Long remained silent.
Lei Meng and the elders of the Sak family watched Scor kneeling there, feeling complex emotions.
“Enough, get up!” After a while, Huang Long’s voice rang out, filled with supreme authority.
Scor trembled inwardly and no longer dared to disobey. He bowed respectfully and quickly stood up.
Huang Long stared at Scor, who stood there with his head lowered. Feeling Huang Long’s gaze, cold sweat poured from his forehead, and his body trembled unnaturally.
“Am I that terrifying?!” Huang Long asked indifferently.
Scor’s expression changed, and he hurriedly replied, “No, not at all!”
“Enough!” Huang Long said indifferently. “As for Gerald, let it be.”
Just like that?! Scor was stunned. But once he understood what Huang Long meant, his face lit up with joy. He wept with excitement and bowed to thank Huang Long for his mercy.
When Huang Long arrived on Ophi Island and heard about Gerald, he almost fainted. Not only him, but everyone in the Gabli family, from top to bottom, was in panic, feeling utterly desperate.
Before coming here, he had prepared himself to die as atonement, since Gerald’s offense was the fault of the Gabli family. He only hoped that Huang Long would spare the Gabli family.
But he never expected this to happen!
In fact, after investigating, Huang Long learned that this matter was only related to Gerald—it was a matter between Long Yi and Gerald. Since Gerald was dead, Huang Long didn’t want to escalate the situation.
After that, Sco personally apologized to Long Yi, stating that he would deal strictly with those involved, and said that Gerald and Maki’s previous marriage talk was merely verbal and not to be taken seriously. With a head of the Gabli family apologizing to him, Long Yi was “overwhelmed with honor.” However, upon hearing Sco say that Gerald and Maki’s marriage was invalid, Long Yi was overjoyed beyond words. Huang Long, who heard Sco’s words, said nothing. This was expected. Thus, the matter came to an end. After staying on Ofei Island for a day, Huang Long and the others left the next day and headed deeper into the Abyssal Sea, while Long Yi naturally stayed on Ofei Island. Before leaving, Huang Long gave Long Yi some elixirs and the divine liquid used to refine the Elf body. Of course, although Huang Long left, it was easy to imagine that Long Yi’s treatment in the Sak family on Ofei Island would be vastly different from before. Leimeng immediately granted Long Yi the position of honorary elder and swore in front of Huang Long that from now on, Long Yi’s affairs would be the Sak family’s affairs. “I never expected to meet Long Yi on this Ofei Island,” Bog said with sighs on the way deeper into the Abyssal Sea, enviously adding, “I really envy him—he even found his beloved woman!” Fat Lion laughed and said, “Bog, are you also feeling romantic?” Everyone laughed. A day later, Huang Long and the others arrived above the sea surface in the depths of the Abyssal Sea. Although the Abyssal Sea was considered a death zone in the eyes of the gods, it posed no threat to Huang Long and the others. So, they encountered no obstacles along the way; even the reckless sea beasts that came to hunt were easily dealt with by Bog and the others. Just as Huang Long and the others reached the sea surface above the Abyssal Sea, suddenly, nearly a hundred figures emerged from the sea surface and came before Huang Long, bowing together and saying, “We pay our respects to our master!” The leader among them was the colorful coiling dragon Greg. Behind Greg were all extremely powerful sea beasts. Including Greg, there were a total of ninety-eight people. “Get up,” Huang Long said after glancing at Greg and the others. He had notified Greg before coming, so upon hearing that Huang Long was arriving, Greg and the others hurried out to greet him. However, since they were slower than Huang Long, they only emerged from the depths of the sea after he arrived. Greg and the others respectfully stood up, looking at Huang Long with awe. It had been over a hundred thousand years since they last parted in the Land of Forgetfulness, and during those years, Greg and the others had heard about Huang Long’s affairs.
When Greg and the others heard about these things, they couldn’t believe them at all, especially the news that the Yellow Dragon had killed the Dark Supreme God Gebor and the Water Dominator Elf in the dimensional battlefield. After being shocked, Greg realized that the main reason for the Yellow Dragon’s current strength was the integration of the energies from various parts of the old master’s Chaos Divine Dragon body. Guided by Greg and the others, the Yellow Dragon and his companions parted the waves and entered the bottom of the Abyssal Sea. After descending many miles, they continued forward until, gradually, an underwater city appeared before them. This underwater city was quite large—according to the Yellow Dragon’s perception, it was even twice the size of the cities on the continents. However, to the Yellow Dragon’s surprise, from a distance, the city resembled a giant dragon lying asleep on the seabed, similar in shape to the Luning headquarters city. As the Yellow Dragon knew, this underwater city was the largest among the hundreds of cities in the trillion-mile sea area ruled by Greg. And Greg, one of the Ten Sea Kings, ranked only third in power in this vast Abyssal Sea! Soon, the Yellow Dragon and his companions arrived above this underwater city. The city was surrounded by restrictions that kept seawater at bay, so there was no water around it. The Yellow Dragon didn’t want to cause a stir, so only Greg and the others knew of his arrival. As a result, the city remained as bustling as before, with no disturbance caused by the Yellow Dragon and his companions. Greg and the others led the Yellow Dragon and his companions to the city’s royal palace and then arranged for them to rest in the palace courtyards. “Master, shall we go to Chaos Mountain now?” Greg asked. The body of the Chaos Divine Dragon wasn’t in this city but in a mountain deeper within the sea area ruled by Greg, which he named Chaos Mountain. The Yellow Dragon pondered for a moment and said, “Tomorrow.” “Yes, master!” Greg replied respectfully. The Yellow Dragon asked Greg more questions about the Abyssal Sea before sending him away. As soon as Greg left, the Yellow Dragon intended to practice the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Technique,” but Huang Yi and Huang Liang came over. Seeing Huang Yi approaching, the Yellow Dragon guessed their intentions. Sure enough, after Huang Yi arrived, she said with a smile, “Second brother, this underwater world is so beautiful. How about we go out and explore together?” Compared to the main cities on the continents, this Abyssal Sea city had a unique design and, being deep beneath the sea, it was indeed quite beautiful, just as Huang Yi said. “Alright, let’s go out and take a walk!” the Yellow Dragon said with a smile. Seeing that the Yellow Dragon didn’t object, Huang Yi happily clapped her hands. “I knew my second brother was the best!” The Yellow Dragon shook his head and smiled. Since it was a rare chance to visit this city, the Yellow Dragon invited everyone from the Huang family, as well as Bog and the others, to join them.
