Chapter 550 (1/2)
Chapter 550: 550
After snowing for several days, on the day when the internal fight in Soaring Dragon City ended, the layers of clouds in the sky began to disperse . Even the sun which had been hidden for several days joined in on the fun . Merely, under the sunlight, Soaring Dragon City looked b.l.o.o.d.y and desolate .
There were corpses everywhere on the thick layer of snow as blood dyed the land red . The entire world which used to be white and pure was changed into a gloomy dark red . Many common people who lost their family members were crying their hearts out and there were even more people who had a lifeless look on their face after experiencing the wanton ma.s.sacre . They knew that the heaven above had already changed, however, none of them knew their fate .
The war which had been brewing for a long time had finally erupted . Counting the total number of casualties from the soldiers to the common people, there were at the very least 500,000 people who died . This was simply a shocking figure .
Right now, the most bustling place in the whole of Soaring Dragon City would be the Ximen Residence . Long Yi was staying in his own courtyard as he looked at the melting snow under the sunlight . He had a dazed expression on his face . After the death of the Military Advisor, he didn't bother about anything else . Such a tragic and brutal war… Even though his deposition was tough and tensile, it was impossible to say that he was not affected by it .
“Mu Hanyan……” The black pupils of Long Yi shrunk as a painful expression appeared on his face . When he thought about her, a feeling of betrayal welled up in his heart . Although this betrayal was already within his expectation, when it happened for real, he became so angry that he almost lost control of himself .
Did he trust in Mu Hanyan too much? He knew perfectly that her objective was not simple . However, he still decided to believe in her . Or so to say, he subconsciously didn't want to think that she would harm him .
In the center of this courtyard, Long Yi was standing alone . Barbarian Bull and Li Qing were a bit further away chatting idly . In front a window of a winged room, there were several beautiful women . Intentionally or unintentionally, they were watching Long Yi .
“This is really infuriating… Why is that hateful fellow pretending to think about something deep?” A beautiful elf in an elven dress carried an elven bow on her back as she muttered in dissatisfaction . She glared at Long Yi who was standing in the middle of the courtyard in a trance . She was Nika and she was the one who led the elven guards to help the Ximen Clan .
“He is not pretending . I can feel that his heart is at unrest . ” Murong Shuyu refuted . Looking at the current appearance of Long Yi, she felt anguished in her heart . Even she couldn't understand Mu Hanyan's sudden disappearance . She didn't give them a single reason before she disappeared . Murong Shuyu could clearly feel Long Yi's deep affection for that woman .
Ximen Wuhen shook her head and sighed inwardly . Why did they have to fight wars? Was power truly so tempting? Throughout the ages, how many people went crazy after obsessing over power? How many of them lost their life? As a matter of a fact, she understood this second brother of hers . He just yearned for an unrestrained freedom . However, it was difficult for him to separate himself from the conflicts happening in the Blue Waves Continent and he happened to be the leading force of the conflict .
Watching Long Yi, a hint of confusion flashed through Ximen Wuhen's clear eyes . However, the confusion disappeared in a moment and her holy and pure became all the more intense . She appeared just like a fairy who was freed from the worldly affairs . All of the other women couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at her . The only thing they didn't know was that the more intense the holy and pure aura around Ximen Wuhen, the stronger the suppression of her true feelings . It was somewhat unimaginable . How can the suppression of worldly desires and feelings cause one's temperament to become more refined? Perhaps, this was a special case which happened when something turned into its complete opposite after reaching the extreme opposite . In any case, this was happening to Ximen Wuhen . Merely, she was the only one who knew how deep her feelings were for Long Yi .
All of a sudden, two red shadows landed in front of Long Yi .
“Yu, tell me, that person, was he truly not my father emperor?” The eyes of Long Ling'er were red and swollen and she stared at Long Yi with expectation in her gaze .
Long Yi quickly straightened his thoughts and he forcibly suppressed the rage and frustration in his heart . Nodding his head, he said, “Of course, he is not . Didn't you hear that in person?”
At that time, after Long Yi had used his seven colored magic douqi to pierce through the heart of the Military Advisor, Long Ling'er had blankly held the corpse of the Military Advisor for a long time . However, Long Yi managed to sense a hint of fluctuation coming from the body and he immediately felt that something was wrong . He quickly re-examined the Military Advisor's body but to his surprise, the shadow of his body came back to life . It strangled Long Ling'er's neck and the shadow said, “Today, everyone who has the surname 'Long' shall be erased from this world . ” Long Yi immediately used his spirit power to deal with this shadow before feeding it to the blood-colored spirits .
“Where is my father emperor? Is he imprisoned by this Military Advisor? However, where could he be? I looked everywhere in the imperial palace but I found nothing…” Long Ling'er said .
“He might have run away . He might have left for a place where no one knew him and he hid his ident.i.ty . ” Long Yi smiled with great difficulty . He knew that Long Ling'er was deceiving herself . She was obviously capable enough to guess Long Zhan's fate the moment she saw the Military Advisor . She was simply unwilling to believe in the truth . It was just like the situation with Long Yi, where he didn't want to believe that Mu Hanyan would betray him at the critical moment .

“I also think so……” Long Ling'er muttered and she looked at Long Yi . Her eyes were suddenly filled with tears as she rushed into Long Yi's embrace . As she choked with sobs, she said, “I'm sorry . ”
Long Yi hugged Long Ling'er and soothingly patted her back . Just like how she was drawing warmth from his body… Couldn't he also draw warmth from her? The matters of Mu Hanyan could go to h.e.l.l .
At one side, Lin Na smiled as she looked at the two people who were hugging each other . She was happy for her close sister and also was somewhat disappointed in her heart after recalling about the matter which happened in Mea Princ.i.p.ality with Long Yi .
Later, after she joined the allied forces along with Long Ling'er and Ximen Wuhen, her view on the world changed . She didn't want to deceive herself by saying she had no feelings for Long Yi . She also knew that many women had some feeling for Long Yi, so perhaps, she didn't have a place in Long Yi's heart .
Perhaps, Lin Na's complicated feelings were detected by Long Yi and he looked at her with a smile on his face . In response, Lin Na swung her little fists at him as though she was prepared to fight against him . She turned and walked away from Long Yi with swollen arrogance .
In the third month of the 8790 year of the Blue Waves Calendar, the 300,000 soldiers from the beastmen clan were deterred by Sharman and Crystal . They used their ident.i.ty of people from the Dragon Race to stop the 300,000 soldiers . They were actually afraid to cross the border frontier as the beastmen clan were innately afraid of people from the Dragon Clan . A week later, the Bimeng Clan gritted their teeth and were prepared to forge ahead despite the two dragons in their way . However, they received the news of Long Zhan's defeat all of a sudden . Meanwhile, Ximen Nu had rushed over to the western border to aid the local troops . The moment they got the news, the Bimeng Clan started to retreat hastily . However, the soldiers from the Violent Dragon Legion pursued them all the way . In an extremely short period of one month, both the Sand Wave Kingdom and the Enlightened Hero Princ.i.p.ality which had openly aided the beastmen clans were completely exterminated .
On the fourth month of the same year, the troops of the beastmen clan that wanted to cross the Blue Waves River and retreat to their supreme headquarter encountered the attack of the allied army led by Beitang Yu . Turning back, they realized that the army of the Violent Dragon Empire was waiting for them .
Under the attack from both sides, the beastmen army lost one-third of their soldiers in the Blue Waves River . The Patriarch of the Bimeng Clan was slaughtered by Tyrant Bear in this battle . After the battle, the Fox Clan, under the leaders.h.i.+p of Bertha, began to take over the authority of the beastmen clan .
On the fifteenth day of the fifth month of the 8790 year of the Blue Waves Calendar . That was the day when Ximen Nu would ascend to the throne . He would be coroneted on this day and inherit the throne of the Violent Dragon Empire . He would also take over the territory of the former Proud Moon Empire, becoming the Blue Waves Emperor . As for the name of the empire, it would still be called Violent Dragon . At that time, all the races of the Blue Waves Continent were invited to attend the ceremony . In addition, new laws and decrees would be issued .
At this moment, there were still five days before Ximen Nu would be coronated . Long Yi was playing with Little Shuxian and Niur in the Ximen Residence . Every time he saw this small niece running all over the place without any worries, he would think about the future . When she became a little older and learned that her father and mother had both died, would she still be able to smile so happily? When Long Ying had activated the Puppet Curse Magic, although he was completely fine, his big brother Ximen Tian died after killing his wife . At that night, Long Yi saw that his father stayed in his big brother's room the entire night .
“My husband, save me……” At that time, Feng Ling ran out of the house with a loud shout . Behind, a group of laughing women was pursuing her . Each and every one of them was a matchless beauty, enrapturing Long Yi .
Long Yi looked at these women and sighed in his heart . Taking a look, he saw the sisters, Feng Ling and Shui Ruoyan, Si Bi, Liuli, Liuxu, Qing Wu, Piao Xue, Yu Feng, Nangong Xiangyun, Long Ling'er, Ximen Wuhen, Nika, Murong Shuyu, Ou Yala, Sharman and Crystal . Although not all of them were his women, when so many beauties gathered together, any man would be able to die happy . Listening to their sweet voice was a kind of great enjoyment .
Feng Ling hid behind Long Yi, but the others rushed over as well . Long Yi was dazzled but he was unable to differentiate who was who . Since he was a brave man who took advantage of ladies whenever he could, he used both of his hands to climb over peaks and jump over gorges . He made all of the women to scream out repeatedly . As fists rained down on him, he had no choice but to cover his head and sneak away like a rat . One should know that there were four she-T . Rex in the crowd . It wasn't a joke when they wanted to beat him up .
