Chapter 0718: One Month Later
On Tianlong Mountain, in the Tianlong Hall, Divine King Keller and Opot were sitting atop the hall, smiling broadly. From their journey along the Xuanhuang River, Keller had reaped many rewards—the greatest being a divine spear of the Hongmeng Spirit Treasure level obtained in the Xuanhuang Abyss on the sixth layer!
After ascending to the rank of Divine King, Keller had lacked a suitable divine weapon, but now he no longer lacked one!
Next would be the joyous day of marrying Vitya, the woman he loved!
Keller and Opot enjoyed a pleasant conversation.
Sitting high in the hall, Keller received congratulations from the leaders and elders of various major families who had begun arriving for his wedding. Although there was still a month left until the wedding, the powerful members of all major families in the Chaos Divine Realm had already started to arrive.
Almost all major families in the Chaos Divine Realm had received wedding invitations from Tianlong Mountain. Keller intended to make his wedding an unprecedentedly grand event!
At the thought of having his beloved by his side, Keller’s face was filled with smiles.
Opot, sitting beside him, glanced at Keller’s smiling face, his eyes flickering briefly before he sighed and said, “Although the journey along the Xuanhuang River was good, it’s a pity that the Beast Emperor, the Holy Light Stone, and the Xuanhuang Bloodline were all obtained by that yellow dragon and that sly fox, Livya!”
Keller’s smile faded as a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He slowly said, “The yellow dragon!” These days, he had been extremely fortunate—first ascending to Divine King, then obtaining a Hongmeng Spirit Treasure from the Xuanhuang River, and now about to marry the woman he loved. The only thing casting shadow over his happiness was the yellow dragon!
If he didn’t kill the yellow dragon, it would be like having a fish stuck in his throat!
“He entered the Cambrian Abyss; maybe he’s stayed there forever in the Xuanhuang River!” Keller sneered.
A sharp light flashed in Opot’s eyes as he said gravely, “What if not?!”
Keller’s heart sank. If not, then the yellow dragon might have already left the Xuanhuang River like them, and who knows—maybe even that legendary Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?!
Keller’s eyes flickered. The mere thought of this outcome filled him with inexplicable irritation.
“Maybe this time, that yellow dragon will also come to Tianlong Mountain,” Opot continued.
Upon hearing this, a murderous intent flashed in Keller’s eyes, and the surrounding air grew cold. It wasn’t impossible—the yellow dragon might indeed appear at Tianlong Mountain on the day of his wedding!
Thinking of Vitya’s experiences with the yellow dragon, Keller’s hatred grew even stronger.
“Hmph! I hope he doesn’t come. If he does…” Keller snorted coldly and slowly said, “I’ll make sure he never returns!”
No return? A mocking glint appeared in Opot’s eyes.
He had heard these words countless times.
The Yellow River and the Yellow Dragon’s repeated escapes were the best proof!
Thinking of the Yellow Dragon’s unpredictable hiding skills, Opot felt increasingly annoyed and furious.
Since Opot brought up the Yellow Dragon, Keler no longer had the mood to stay in the grand hall. After exchanging a few words with Opot, he left the Heavenly Dragon Hall and returned to his own palace.
Back in his palace, Keler grew more and more upset. Eventually, he left his palace and headed toward Vitiya’s palace.
A short while later, Keler appeared in front of Vitiya’s palace.
“Greetings, Lord Keler, the Divine King!” Sabrine, who had just come out of the palace, was startled upon seeing Keler and quickly came out to pay her respects.
Keler, annoyed, ignored Sabrine’s greeting. With a cold grunt, he entered the palace.
Seeing this, Sabrine stood up, intending to stop him, but remembering Keler’s current status, she stopped herself and could only watch as he entered the palace. Before, Keler was just an elder of Heavenly Dragon Mountain, so sometimes she dared to advise him. But now it was different.
After entering the palace, Keler headed straight to the courtyard where Vitiya lived. Upon arrival, he heard sobbing. He stepped inside and saw Vitiya crying with her face turned away from him. His already annoyed mood turned into rage. He stepped forward sharply and shouted, “Cry! Cry! Cry! All you know how to do is cry! Does marrying me mean losing your status?! Is that Yellow Dragon really that good?!” By the time he mentioned the Yellow Dragon, killing intent surged through Keler’s body.
Vitiya turned around, her face streaked with tears, sobbing.
These days, ever since she learned that her father had decided to marry her to Keler, she had often cried.
Seeing that Vitiya still didn’t speak and continued to cry, Keler angrily grabbed her hand and shouted, “Cry! Let me tell you, from now on, you are my woman. You can only think of me! That Yellow Dragon is your father’s and our Heavenly Dragon Mountain’s mortal enemy! It’s impossible for you two to be together!”
Vitiya’s wrist was tightly held by Keler, causing excruciating pain. Her sobbing stopped, but she glared at him silently with resentment.
Seeing Vitiya’s resentful gaze, Keler felt pain in his heart, and his killing intent toward the Yellow Dragon grew even stronger. If it weren’t for the Yellow Dragon, everything would be perfect!
The Yellow Dragon!
It was all the Yellow Dragon’s fault!
It was all that damned Yellow Dragon!
Keler stared at Vitiya’s tear-streaked face for a long time before finally releasing her hand. Then he said, “The Yellow Dragon, your beloved, is dead. I think you’d better give up that hope!”
“What? Brother Yellow Dragon is dead?!” Upon hearing this, Vitia was shocked. Ignoring everything else, she grabbed Keller’s arm and said urgently, “That’s impossible! Brother Yellow Dragon can’t be dead!”
Seeing his beloved woman so concerned about his mortal enemy, Keller grew even angrier. He shook off Vitia’s hand and sneered coldly, “Impossible to die? Even the strongest Divine Kings can’t claim they’ll never perish!” After a pause, he added, “In the River of Black and Yellow, Yellow Dragon has entered the seventh layer of the Cambrian Abyss!”
“What? Brother Yellow Dragon entered the Cambrian Abyss?!” Hearing that Yellow Dragon had gone into that abyss where even Divine Kings might perish, Vitia trembled, her face filled with disbelief.
“No, you’re lying to me! Brother Yellow Dragon can’t have entered the Cambrian Abyss!” After a while, Vitia regained her senses and shook her head at Keller.
“Lying to you?” Keller sneered. “If you want to know whether Yellow Dragon entered the Cambrian Abyss, ask your father!” With that, he ignored the dazed Vitia and turned to leave.
As he left, Keller clenched his fists, gathering a terrifying amount of power in them.
Watching Keller leave, Vitia kept retreating, shaking her head repeatedly.
“Miss, miss!” When Sabrine entered and saw Vitia’s expression, she was shocked and worried. She stepped forward urgently.
Vitia snapped out of her daze, pushed Sabrine aside, and ran outside the palace, saying, “No, I have to ask my father! I need to find out for sure!”
Sabrine rushed after her, shouting, “Miss!” But by the time they left the palace, Vitia had already turned into a streak of light and flown toward the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
Not long after the two women left, there was a disturbance in the sky, and Keller’s figure appeared. Watching the two women fly toward the Heavenly Dragon Palace one after another, his gaze turned icy.
At that moment, Yellow Dragon and Huoyang, who were on their way to Silver Fox Mountain, stopped above a mountain range.
This mountain range was the Mor Mountain Range where Yellow Dragon first arrived in the Chaos Divine Plane. Back then, Yellow Dragon had led hundreds of millions of divine-level warriors from the Mor Mountain Range to Silver Fox Mountain. The range should have been deserted, but instead, it was bustling with activity, filled with people coming and going.
Yellow Dragon was surprised to see this.
Could it be that surrounding forces had taken advantage of the situation to occupy the Mor Mountain Range?!
An idea struck Yellow Dragon. He flew down and arrived in front of the Blue Lion Peak Palace. Seeing this, Huoyang also followed Yellow Dragon and landed in front of the palace.
“Stop! Who are you? How dare you intrude in the headquarters of the Rafe family?!” At that moment, a shout rang out, and soon, over a dozen guards protecting the Blue Lion Peak Hall surrounded them.
The Rafe family?! Hearing this, Huang Long’s heart stirred.
The Rafe family was one of the top-ranking major families on the Kale Continent, and Huang Long knew that this family was allied with Tianlong Mountain.
In an instant, Huang Long understood what had happened.
No wonder! He thought to himself. I knew it—no other forces around would dare occupy the Mor Mountains. Only Tianlong Mountain, Fengjin Mountain, or forces under those mountains would dare do such a thing!
Did the Rafe family occupying the Mor Mountains be at Tianlong Mountain’s orders?! Or perhaps it was the will of the Divine King Opot or Keller?! Huang Long sneered as he watched the Rafe family members closing in.
“Hey, you there, kid! Who are you?!” The seemingly leader among the Rafe family members surrounding Huang Long and his companion glared coldly at Huang Long’s expression and shouted.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt an overwhelming force surge toward him. Before he could react, he was flung aside, along with his guards.
With a single palm motion, Huang Long lifted the small leader who had been knocked off the peak in front of him.
“The Rafe family,” Huang Long said, his gaze icy.
The small leader struggled for breath, stammering, “Th-this sir, we…”
“Is this Tianlong Mountain’s order?!” Huang Long asked coldly.
The small leader clearly didn’t understand what Huang Long meant by that question and replied slurredly, “We… we’re from Tian, Tianlong Mountain!” But as soon as he finished speaking, his chest suddenly collapsed inward, a large hole appearing as he fell to the ground.
Huang Long turned, scanned with his divine sense, and clenched his hand in the air. The space trembled, and soon, a middle-aged man with a terrified expression was lifted in front of him by Huang Long.
This middle-aged man was the strongest member of the Rafe family stationed in the Mor Mountains—Gek, the second elder of the Rafe family!
“Th-this elder!” Gek trembled in fear as he looked at Huang Long.
“Is this Tianlong Mountain’s order?!” Huang Long interrupted.
Gek was stunned, clearly not understanding what Huang Long was asking.
A moment later, Gek met the same fate as the dozen Rafe family members before him.
The Mor Mountains could be considered Huang Long’s “lair.” Now that it had been occupied by forces from Tianlong Mountain, it was no wonder Huang Long was enraged.
After a while, Huang Long flew up into the air and gazed in the direction of Tianlong Mountain.
“One month from now is your wedding day?!”
