Chapter 2026: A Change in the Dragon Pearl! (1/2)
Edited by: Michyrr
In the Demonic Emperor Old Man's first meeting with Wang Chong, Wang Chong had only been a sixteen-year-old child, but he was now a hero venerated by the masses.
And it was precisely because of Wang Chong's outstanding and unique character that he trusted in him so much.
The Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief quickly left.
They had only discovered a small corner of the matter regarding the men in black. They needed to continue seeking the truth and dig up more of this hidden conspiracy.
All fell quiet once the two of them left, the candles and torches flickering uneasily.
Wang Chong stood motionless in the room, his entire being immersed in deep thought.
Far too many things had happened today.
He had battled with An Yaluoshan, his mortal foe, at the feast of all countries, and then a new black-clothed expert in Genesis Supreme had appeared, and then there was the news brought back by his master… He needed time to digest all of this!
Peace and prosperity were celebrated with song and dance, but danger was already lurking in the darkness.
Even though he was already devoting his full strength, he still felt lacking and incapable. But even so, he would not give up, much less passively wait.
Stealing Dragon Qi is truly audacious! It seems he can no longer restrain himself. I'll have to move up my plans to deal with him, Wang Chong mentally noted, his eyes glinting.
An Yaluoshan's operation tonight could no longer be described as simple boldness, but a complete lack of restraint. Alas, he had the mysterious 'Genesis Supreme' backing him, or else he would have already been dead.
Wang Chong recalled the Sage Emperor and the 'dragon pearl' An Yaluoshan had gifted him!
This was clearly a 'dragon pearl' that had been prepared by the men in black for An Yaluoshan to offer.
When 'Third Son Xuan' obtained the dragon pearl, his energy and consciousness clearly grew stronger. In contrast, the real Sage Emperor's will was suppressed even more harshly. This was an ill omen for the Great Tang!
Wang Chong placed his hands behind his back and called out, ”Zhang Que!”
”Your Highness!”
The doors opened, and Zhang Que came inside and bowed.
”Find a way to get in touch with Young Master Qingyang and Sword Dragon! I need to know what progress they've made!” Wang Chong said.
”Yes!”
Zhang Que left with the order.
The Rainbow Glass Divine Grass!
This was the only way he could think of to restore the Sage Emperor's will to its strongest level.
The Great Tang could not continue with this chaos!
……
The sky gradually brightened.
With the passing of the night, the raucous feast of all countries came to an end.
The streets were still chattering with conversation about the brilliant performances put on by the various countries, the show put on by the new Andong Protector-General, the conflicts that took place in the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, and the final act of the Sage Emperor walking up to the edge of the Pavilion and joining the consorts in showering the crowd with millions of coins.
This feast would probably be a conversation topic of the capital for the next several decades.
And once the storm had passed, An Yaluoshan and Gao Shang had swiftly returned to Youzhou. Meanwhile, the King of Foreign Lands Residence also began to slowly calm down. But deep within the Imperial Palace, a certain imposing figure within Taiji Palace had had a sleepless night.
”Hahaha, a good treasure! Truly a good treasure!”
A hearty laugh came from the throne. On his throne, 'Third Son Xuan' excitedly fondled the 'dragon pearl' An Yaluoshan had given him, his entire body feeling comfortable and relaxed.
Once the feast was over, he had come back to this place with the 'dragon pearl' and played around with it again and again, never growing tired.
”Li Taiyi, you probably didn't think that even you would have a day like this!
”You damn outsider! Sleep eternally! Experience that pain of imprisonment that I felt for so many years!”
'Third Son Xuan' had a chilly gaze as he smugly muttered to himself.
”And that An Yaluoshan is truly an incredible person. Not only is he so understanding as to send Us so many beauties, he even gifted Us such an important object!
”Dragon pearl? Hmph! Do they really think We are a child? How can a dragon pearl actually exist in this world? But it does not matter whether this is a dragon pearl. It's fine so long as it can suppress Li Taiyi! Truly a case of wearing out one's shoes in search for a solution delivered to one's doorstep! I went to such great lengths to try and suppress Li Taiyi, never expecting that it would be so easy!”
Third Son Xuan heartily laughed.
After so many years, he had finally emerged as the final victor!
And that dog slave Gao Lishi dared to betray him and pledge fealty to that bastard Li Taiyi! But did he really think that giving him a few pots of medicine would be enough?
In the end, nothing could stop him!
Buzz!
Suddenly, some hidden existence seemed to reply to Third Son Xuan's words, and the fabric of space in the hall trembled.
”Dragon Qi?”
Third Son Xuan seemed to hear the reply, and he laughed.
”What does Dragon Qi have to do with me? As long as it can suppress you, We do not care. We are the Son of Heaven selected by the Mandate of Heaven, the ruler of the Divine Land. No one can shake Us. Do you really think that chubby Hu is capable of such a thing?
