Chapter 1005 - “Helped” the Dragon Royal Family
Chapter 1005 “Helped” the Dragon Royal Family
When he heard Li Mengyao’s solemn words, Lu Xiaoyao could not help believing a little of what she said.
Then, he cried out involuntarily, “Oh, no! My family heirloom, the Black Demon Pearl, has been swindled away by him!”
Li Zhen said, “I told you that you were being deceived by him. He had an agenda when he treated your sickness. He also took away the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits. I will tear him to pieces if this bastard falls into my hands one day.”
Li Mengyao said, “President Lu, if you get any news about Qin Haodong in the future, you must inform us as soon as possible. Then, we will kill him even if we have to send out all the masters from the Dragon Kingdom.”
Lu Xiaoyao said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll report to you as soon as I get any news about him.”
Li Zhen said, “Well, we’ll take our leave.”
The purpose of their trip had been accomplished. After that, the three of them left Lu Xiaoyao’s mansion.
After seeing them off, Lu Xiaoyao sat back in his chair and mulled over the discussion he had. So far, he only believed half of what Li Zhen and Li Mengyao had said.
Based on his inner feelings and many years of experience, he thought that Qin Haodong should not be that kind of person.
At this time, suddenly he heard a “click” sound on the table next to him. He turned his head and saw a small jade bottle on the table.
“Who is it?”
Lu Xiaoyao jumped up. It was scary that even with his cultivation, he did not know that there was someone hiding in the dark.
Moreover, it was obvious that the other party wanted to alert him. Otherwise, he might not have noticed it at all.
He looked around the room and then walked out of the door to have a look, but he didn’t see anyone.
Filled with doubts, he returned to the room. He picked up the small jade bottle on the table and opened it. Then, a strong fragrance wafted to his nose.
“Gosh, is this the Vitality Pill?”
Lu Xiaoyao had tried every means to get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits to make the Vitality Pill. He didn’t expect that before he got the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits, the pill miraculously appeared in his hand.
After carefully identifying it, he finally confirmed that it was indeed the eighth-level pill, Vitality Pill.
“Who gave this to me?”
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he thought carefully and deduced that Qin Haodong was the only one who could have done this.
It seemed that Li Zhen and the others were right. The Earthvein Spiritual Fruits had been taken away by Qin Haodong.
But he couldn’t imagine how the young man managed to take away the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits under the noses of the Earth Bear, Li Zhen, and others. How did he refine the Vitality Pill? Was he also an eighth-level alchemist?
“Should I tell Li Zhen and the others of this news?”
Lu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment and finally decided to hide it. Since Qin Haodong presented him with a Vitality Pill afterward, it was enough to tell what Qin Haodong’s character was like and he thought that Qin Haodong was definitely not the kind of person Li Zhen and others slandered.
Qin Haodong didn’t want to cause any trouble for Lu Xiaoyao, so he left after he gifted him the jade bottle.
He was about to go to Dragon City. Due to the Dragon Royal Family’s hatred for him, he had to disguise himself. After all, he wanted to find the Dragon Spiritual Spring to make use of the Spiritual Qi there at this time. For the Dragon Royal Family, this was really not a good thing.
They first found an inn to have a rest in Little Dragon City. Then, Qin Haodong used the polymorph to change their appearances. Although they still looked extremely good-looking, their faces were completely different from before.
Even if they were standing in front of Li Mengyao, she wouldn’t be able to recognize them.
Early the next morning, the three of them changed their clothes and flew out of Little Dragon City and toward Dragon City together.
Not long after they flew, they saw figures moving in the distance. Dozens of people were gathered in front.
“Let’s go and have a look,” Qin Haodong said and they hid their auras and approached carefully.
They saw that Li Mengyao, Li Zhen, and others were surrounded by dozens of men in black.
These people were all wearing masks. They were from the Ghost King Sect.
The two leaders in black wore golden masks. One of them was a slim woman with four skulls embroidered on the cuffs of her sleeves.
The other figure was a man with three skulls embroidered on his cuffs.
They were the Third Elder and Fourth Elder of the Ghost King Sect.
Qin Haodong thought to himself, “It seems that I can’t avoid this enemy, Ghost King Sect. I just killed the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder, and now I’m meeting the Third Elder and Fourth Elder here so soon.”
Li Zhen and Li Mengyao stood in the middle. The guards of the Dragon Royal Family stood around them and formed a protective circle.
“Insolent! Your Ghost King Sect dared to attack our Dragon Royal Family. Do you want your sect to be annihilated?”
As the first prince of the Dragon Kingdom, Li Zhen spoke with great momentum. However, internally he felt particularly nervous.
At this time, they were not powerful as before. Among them, only Wang Minghai was the master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, but he was seriously injured and could not even exert half of his strength.
On the side of the Ghost King Sect, the two elders in charge were masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. If he really decided to fight with the people of the Ghost King Sect, his side would definitely suffer a big loss.
“You are really powerful. I’m quaking in my shoes!” the Fourth Elder giggled coquettishly.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Qin Haodong frowned slightly. Why did this woman’s voice sound so familiar? He had heard it somewhere before.
The Fourth Elder continued, “Your Dragon Kingdom has always been against our Ghost King Sect and wants to destroy us, but so what? We are still fine.”
Li Mengyao said furiously, “You… what exactly do you intend to do?”
The Fourth Elder said, “I heard that you were going to pick the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits this time. We also want that treasure, so we have been waiting here for you to come back.
“As long as you hand over the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits, I’ll let you go.”
Hearing this, Li Zhen had the urge to vomit blood again. This whole thing was really depressing. He had not even seen the shadow of the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits, but these fruits brought him so much trouble.
He said, “We didn’t get any Earthvein Spiritual Fruits at all. They were taken away by someone else.”
The Fourth Elder laughed again. “Your Highness, do you think we are idiots? In the Dragon Kingdom, except for our Ghost King Sect, who would dare to rob your things? Isn’t that a joke?”
Li Zhen said angrily, “Believe it or not, we didn’t get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits at all.”
The Third Elder who had been standing aside silently began to speak in a low voice, “It seems that you want us to search by ourselves.”
After that, Qin Haodong finally remembered who they were. The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder were Bai Ling and the geezer he had met in Golden Horse City of the Tortoise Kingdom.
At that time, the two of them had pretended to be poor people and performed in a teahouse. He had rewarded them with Spirit Stones.
However, he was only at the stage of the Apotheosis Realm at that time and could not see through their cultivation.
“How dare you!” Li Mengyao yelled with full momentum.
This was the territory of the Dragon Kingdom. No one dared to be disrespectful to the members of the Dragon Royal Family here.
It was a pity that she was wrong this time because the other party were the people of the Ghost King Sect, who did not take the Dragon Royal Family seriously at all.
“You will soon know if we dare do it.”
With that, the Third Elder reached out and grabbed Li Mengyao.
Wang Minghai had been standing guard at the side. He could not let the prince and princess get hurt here.
Although he was hurt, he didn’t care much anymore. He lunged forward and hit the Third Elder’s palm with his remaining fist.
The Third Elder grinned and said, “Geezer Wang, if you weren’t injured, you could still fight with me for a while. With your current disabled state, you would not even be able to withstand my one palm strike.”
As he spoke, his palm was about to collide with Wang Minghai’s fist. Wang Minghai’s cultivation was originally similar to the Third Elder’s. They were both at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
It was a pity that he had lost an arm and he had not recovered completely from his internal injury yet. His loss was the Third Elder’s gain. Thus, he was not on the same level as the Third Elder.
With a bang, one palm and one fist collided. Wang Minghai immediately flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
This triggered his internal injury that had not fully healed yet. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The Fourth Elder made her move too. With a wave of her sleeve, she reduced the guards in front of her into a sorry state.
She walked up to Li Zhen and Li Mengyao and said, “First Prince, Second Princess, what else do you want to say now?”
Li Zhen’s face was livid. It seemed that the Ghost King Sect had schemed against him from the very beginning. The people of the Ghost King Sect had planned to attack them after they got Earthvein Spiritual Fruits and their strength was greatly reduced.
Unfortunately, the people of the Ghost King Sect didn’t expect that they really could not get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.
Seeing that the Ghost King Sect had completely taken control of the situation, Li Mengyao restrained her arrogance and said, “Let me tell you. We really don’t have Earthvein Spiritual Fruits on hand.”
The Fourth Elder giggled, “It seems that you won’t shed a tear until you see your coffin. You have a good figure and look plumper than me. Now let me verify whether it is true or not.”
After that, she reached out and grabbed Li Mengyao. Although the Fourth Elder was also a woman, Li Mengyao could not bear to be humiliated. She tried her best to resist.
Unfortunately, she was only at the middle stage of the Combination Realm and her vitality had not been replenished yet. Naturally, she was no match for the Fourth Elder. Her whole body was suppressed by the Fourth Elder’s powerful momentum.
Li Zhen’s face darkened. He was about to help his sister, but he was blocked by the Third Elder.
Seeing that he was completely desperate, a clear voice nearby said, “Your Highness, as long as you take out five low-level Immortal Crystals, I will help you get rid of these people from the Ghost King Sect.”
Li Zhen looked back and saw a handsome young man behind him, followed by two extremely beautiful women.
Li Mengyao had taken out a low-level Immortal Crystal before, so Qin Haodong wanted to see if the first prince of the Dragon Kingdom was richer than his sister and had more low-level Immortal Crystals.
Li Zhen had never seen these three people, nor did he know their identities. However, since they were familiar with the Ghost King Sect and dared to stand out at this time, they must be powerful and could defeat the people of the Ghost King Sect.
The situation was urgent. He had no other choice and said decisively, “Deal. As long as you save us from these people from Ghost King Sect, I will immediately take out five low-level Immortal Crystals as a reward.”
Hearing their conversation, the Fourth Elder was not in a hurry and looked back at Qin Haodong.
“Boy, are you going to be the enemy of our Ghost King Sect?”
Qin Haodong smiled slightly. “There’s no other way. I’m really short of money these days. If you can take out five low-level Immortal Crystals, I won’t be involved in this mess today.”
“Boy, I really don’t know who gave you the courage to extort from our Ghost King Sect. If you want money, go to hell and ask Yama for it.”
In the past, as long as they mentioned the name of the Ghost King Sect, ordinary people would avoid them and run away.
However, the boy in front dared to extort from the Ghost King Sect. The Third Elder was immediately enraged and reached out to grab Qin Haodong.
“Netherworld Ghost Claw!”
The endless energy suddenly turned into a creepy ghost claw and grabbed at Qin Haodong and the other two with great momentum.
