142 starting his breakthrough. (1/2)
Li Yang turned around and started walking, heading for the closest of the ruined blocks. Tian Zheng had never been treated in a manner like this so he was temporarily too stunned to move, only coming to his senses when Li Yang stepped into the first ruined block. He quickly made his way over and helped Li Yang inspect the block, but the results were the same as the blocks in the previous dungeon, completely empty.
The two went from block to block, quickly discovering that these blocks were even emptier than the cells in the previous dungeon, they didn't have any drops of slime hidden away within them. Were the Void Born here just careless, or did they have some specific reason for not leaving behind any part of themselves as a precaution? The two continued to investigate the various blocks, but not even the smallest drop of blood was present in the dungeon, it was so clean that it was eerie. While they were walking, Tian Zheng broke the silence by asking Li Yang questions.
”How long have you known Junior Sister Ying? You both should be rather young, so I'm also curious as to how and when you got married. Also, seeing how close you are, you must have known him for quite a while already. Oh, and how and where did you meet Junior Sister Ying? It must certainly be a grand tale for the ages.”

Tian Zheng did his best to hide it, but how could Li Yang not notice the point of the questions? Both he and Fang Ying were very young right now, and Fang Ying had spent most of her life in the Tian clan, so there should be almost no way for the two of them to have met, and certainly not enough time for them to get married. Tian Zheng had, of course, noticed this too, so now that he had the chance he was trying to get to the bottom of it, just what was the truth between Li Yang and Fang Ying?
Li Yang turned his head slightly, his eyes flashing with faint light as his gaze pierced into Tian Zheng, a regal and imposing air radiating from his body. The aura of the man once known as the Thunder Monarch crushed down onto Tian Zheng, causing his breath to get stuck in his throat as Li Yang only gave a simple response.
”If you ever hear about the Thunder Monarch, you might just learn the truth that you seek.”
The response sounded serious, but it was in truth just a misleading answer. Li Yang knew that Jing Yimu had already done everything in his power to erase the Thunder Monarch from the history books and stories, that was why it was borderline impossible to find any information about Li Yang's previous life. But Tian Zheng didn't know that, so he would likely be fully focused on trying to find out things about the Thunder Monarch, ending up empty-handed.
Li Yang removed his gaze from him, Tian Zheng's breath slowly returning to him. He felt like he had gotten a somewhat decent grasp on Li Yang after chatting with him previously, but not once had he ever felt anything like this from Li Yang, forcing him to once again change his opinion of him. But at the same time, he was somewhat excited, he had gotten something of an answer, he had a starting goal at least. With that being the case, Tian Zheng decided to continue asking questions, asking another one that had been nagging at his mind for a while now, his expression twisting from slight disdain.
”Brother Yang, tell me honestly. Are you one of those people from the Demon Race?”
The man known as the Silver Dragon Prince had practically never left the headquarters of the Demon Race, so Tian Zheng could only assume that Li Yang and Fang Ying knew Zhao Feng due to being part of the Demon Race. Li Yang didn't stop in his tracks, he simply cast another sideways glance at Tian Zheng. And for the first time in tens of years, Tian Zeng felt someone look down on him.
”Heh, you're a surprisingly small person, huh? What does it matter whether or not I'm part of the Demon Race or the Human Race? Disliking someone because of their race or background is inane and pointless. In the end, it all comes down to whether or not a person is your friend or foe, everything else is pointless and petty. Even now I'm only helping you deal with these Void Born because they're a threat to those who fall into my friend category.”
