Chapter 205 - Bai Wu’s Past (2/2)
After Qiao Yi defeated Bai Wu, the latter – with a ruined constitution – fled to the dragon clan’s borders. Qiao Yi feared that Bai Wu would come back stronger in the future, so in light of that, he ordered all the dragons to do their best and find Bai Wu. Dead or alive, he made every effort to see Bai Wu, and finally, he found a dying Bai Wu in Qinglong Mountain. Whichever way one looked at it, Bai Wu was fortunate enough to bear the purest and noblest lineage among the dragon clan. Qiao Yi did not dare to kill him there and then, so all he could do was lock Bai Wu up to be subjected to daily mistreatment.
Tang was originally Bai Wu’s right-hand man, but after hearing Qiao Yi’s ideology, he too assisted in Bai Wu’s entrapment. He never foresaw that Qiao Yi would disregard their agreement and decide to kill Bai Wu. Distraught at seeing a desperate Bai Wu being persecuted and killed, he secretly rescued Bai Wu out in order to hide Bai Wu in a different dimension.
Once Qiao Yi found out, he flew into a fit of rage. Despite sending out a large number of capable assistants to search for Bai Wu, he was nowhere to be found. In the end, an ancient spell was somehow dug up; utilizing the same bloodline as Bai Wu’s to block up any contact between the dragon realm and other dimensions, a protective screen was set up, isolating Bai Wu from the dragon realm forever. Whatever dimension Bai Wu may be in, and regardless of how long he was in that dimension, he would remain unable to find the dragon realm.
“That terrible, huh? How scared of Bai Wu is he? He doesn’t seem weak to me,” the baffled Xu Lan asked. To him, it was like a battle for the throne, something that seemed so foreign and so exciting.
“In other dimensions, Bai Wu can only use eighty percent of his powers at most,” Ka Daiwen said, then continued, “but the remaining twenty percent is the most menacing.”
“I see. So, that means he’s completely unable to find his way back home?” Xu Lan paused almost imperceptibly as he touched the stubble of his chin, then raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Mm.”
Xu Lan spat out a mouthful. On the one hand, he despised his rejoicing heart, on the other he loathed Qiao Yi’s vicious and sinister methods, for it was ill-fitting of a man.
“Xu Lan, we’ve searched all over for you. Is Elder okay?” Fang Lingzi asked dispiritedly while holding her knees and gasping coarsely.
“We’re fine. And you? Why are you still here?” Xu Lan frowned when he saw some ten plus people coming out in succession from behind her.
