Chapter 3072 - I’m Not Leaving Anymore
I’m Not Leaving Anymore
Translator: Legge
“Dragon King Shine, the Dragon Emperors have naturally contributed greatly with their bloody battle on Dragon Island.”
Dragon Queen Hornless said in a deep voice, “However, without Fellow Daoist Su on Illumination Dragon Star, we wouldn’t have been able to hold out until the Dragon Emperors came to support us. There’s no conflict between the two matters to begin with.”
Compared to Long Li, Dragon Queen Hornless’s response was clearly much more experienced and watertight, leaving nothing for Dragon King Shine to refute with.
Actually, there had been frequent internal strife among the Dragon race over the years.
Everyone always had implied meanings behind their words. If somebody was not careful, others might make use of their words to accuse them of heinous sins, leading to extremely tragic outcomes.
If Long Li had handled it wrongly earlier on and fallen into Dragon King Shine’s trap, she might have been charged with disrespect and colluding with the enemy and betraying the race.
In the past, such a thing was unimaginable and ridiculous among the Dragon race.
However, it happened repeatedly over the years and everyone in the Dragon race was in danger.
Dragon Queen Hornless had seen many such scenes and naturally knew how powerful they were.
Su Zimo did not care about taking credit or whatnot and was not bothered to argue with the other party.
“Everyone, I’ll take my leave.”
Su Zimo could not be bothered to exchange pleasantries and was unwilling to stay any longer. He merely cupped his fists slightly and turned to leave with Long Ran and Monkey.
Once he took Long Ran away with him, he would have already achieved his goal.
“Abunch of ingrates!”
Monkey’s anger had yet to dissipate as he harrumphed coldly.
“What did you say?!”
Immediately, a few Dragon Kings stood out and berated loudly.
“Forget it, it’s just words. Let him be.”
Dragon King Spirit stood out hurriedly to smooth things over, worried that something else would happen.
Dragon Queen Hornless did not mention anything about credit.
Given the current environment of the Dragon race, it might not be a bad thing for Su Zimo and the others to leave earlier.
Dragon Emperor Burning Sun stared at Su Zimo’s departing figure and narrowed his eyes with a cold glint.
“You can’t leave!”
Just as Su Zimo was about to tear through the void and leave the Illumination Dragon Domain, Dragon King Shine suddenly stood out and stood in front of the three of them with an unfriendly expression.
“Dragon King Shine, what are you doing?!”
Dragon Queen Hornless could not stand it anymore and berated.
“What am I doing?”
Dragon King Shine was extremely calm and merely sneered, “Why don’t you ask your precious daughter what she did on Illumination Dragon Star after joining forces with this outsider!
“If there’s anything, just say it directly.”
Dragon Empress Frost frowned.
Dragon King Shine said in a deep voice, “Long Li brought this outsider to visit Dragon King Illumination. Not long after, Dragon King Illumination died in the hands of this outsider King!”
Dragon Queen Hornless’ heart sank and she looked at Long Li instinctively.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Long Li explained hurriedly, “It was because we discovered that Dragon King Illumination was cursed and betrayed the Dragon race. After Brother Su suppressed him, he wanted to perform the Soul Searching Art, causing the curse in Dragon King Illumination’s Essence Spirit to erupt and he died.”
“Fufu.”
Dragon King Shine sneered, “As the lord of a domain, Dragon King Illumination has worked hard and contributed greatly. Nothing happened all these years while he was in the Dragon World. However, the moment you visited him, you discovered that he was cursed.
“After killing Dragon King Illumination, the Tomb World army arrived immediately. What a coincidence.
Of course, these two incidents had nothing to do with each other.
However, Dragon King Shine deliberately linked the two incidents together, so it was naturally easy for others to associate them.
Long Li shouted, “That’s the truth!” Dragon Queen Hornless pondered for a moment and said, “Indeed, there were also Dragons in the Hornless Dragon Domain who had ulterior motives. They destroyed the Coiling Dragon Formation and lured the Blood World into our territory.”
Dragon King Spirit stood out as well. “We weren’t present when Dragon King Illumination died. However, we saw with our own eyes that Dragon King Flame was cursed.”
Actually, Dragon Queen Hornless and Dragon King Spirit were speaking up for
Su Zimo.
Right from the beginning, Su Zimo watched coldly without saying a word or even trying to defend himself.
There was no need to explain such things.
If not for him, Illumination Dragon Star would have been destroyed.
It was impossible for him to be related to the Tomb World army.
Any normal person could understand the reason.
If he had to prove his innocence for such a matter, the Dragon race must definitely be rotten to the core!
Unfortunately, there were two Dragon Emperors present.
Otherwise, he might have even tried to suppress Dragon King Shine and imprison his Essence Spirit to take a look!
“The Dragon race will naturally investigate whether or not Dragon King Illumination was cursed.”
Dragon Emperor Burning Sun spoke slowly with a dignified voice and changed the topic. “However, even if was cursed and betrayed the Dragon race, the Dragon race shall be the one to judge and punish him, not an outsider!” “None of you can leave without explaining yourselves for this!” Dragon Queen Hornless’ heart sank and she said hurriedly, “Lord Burning Sun, although Dragon King Illumination died because of him, Fellow Daoist Su has contributed greatly to protecting Illumination Dragon Star after all. He…
“I naturally know that.”
Before Dragon Queen Hornless could finish, Dragon Emperor Burning Sun interrupted her and said coldly, “If that wasn’t the case, do you think he would still be standing alive right now?”
At that point, Dragon Queen Hornless did not dare to say anything else and could only look at Dragon Empress Frost for help.
Dragon Empress Frost sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness. “This matter… is not easy to handle. After all, this is one of the Five Great Dragon Kings who died and it was done by an outsider to boot.”
Dragon Queen Hornless was a little anxious as well. “Dragon King Illumination was cursed and betrayed the Dragon race. He should be killed. What does it matter if the person who killed him was from our race or an outsider?”
Dragon Empress Frost sighed gently. “This would indeed be nothing in the past. In fact, the Dragon race would even thankhim. However, in the past few thousand years…”
Dragon Empress Frost did not continue.
For thousands of years, the living environment of the Dragon race deteriorated rapidly and the truth was distorted. It was not uncommon for them to be unable to distinguish right from wrong and she was already a little numb.
Even within their race, people would fight one another, let alone against outsiders.
Dragon King Shine said in a deep voice, “It’s unknown if Dragon King Illumination is cursed. However, this outsider killed Dragon King Illumination and caused Illumination Dragon Star to be leaderless. Because of that, we were almost taken advantage of by a powerful enemy like the Tomb World. He deserves to die!”
When Dragon Queen Hornless and the others heard that, their expressions changed starkly!
Dragon King Shine wanted Su Zimo’s life!
Monkey clenched his fists tightly and shouted in anger, “How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?! My brother has just saved you guys and you guys want to have him killed?!”
“No one’s trying to get him killed.”
Dragon Emperor Burning Sun said coldly, “A life for a life. That’s the simplest logic.”
“Human, what else do you have to say?”
Dragon Emperor Burning Sun looked down at Su Zimo from above, as though he was about to attack the next moment!
Long Li was so anxious that she was crying.
She truly did not expect that Su Zimo would be killed by a Dragon Emperor instead of dying in the encirclement of thousands of Grotto-heaven Kings in the Tomb World after arriving in the Dragon World!
“I have nothing to say.”
Suddenly, Su Zimo smiled. “I’m not leaving anymore.”
From the beginning to the end, he did not want to be involved in the Battle of the Dragons and Phoenixes.
After finding Long Ran, he only wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, he had no choice but to attack outside Feng City and Illumination Dragon Star consecutively, fighting two battles.
Even so, he did not want any credit. He only wanted to leave.
It was only at this moment when the Dragon race was so overbearing that he truly made up his mind.
He wanted to see just how rotten the Dragon race was and who was instigating everything behind the scenes!
They wanted to fight him?
Give it a try then!
