In the center of the platform, a boy wearing golden robes was levitating with his eyes closed. Above him was a phantom of a huge dragon. It looks like he was not even aware of anything. Indeed, he was Prince Phillips.
Joel looked at that with shock, "Who could have thought that the person we were trying to look at from the beginning could produce such a strange phenomenon."
"As we have guessed, he indeed has a dragon bloodline flowing through his veins. I also have never seen such a big type of dragon in my life. Even your Mystic Beast Sect doesn't have it." said David.
Jasmine looked at the boy and said worriedly, "It looks like his body cannot handle this bloodline. I have never seen such a case happening."
Leo finally stood up and said in a serious tone, "This bloodline is even better than my master's. The mystical orb produces energy that enters your body through the spiritual roots and gives a response according to it. But it looks like something wrong happened to his body which forced his bloodline to come out. Even though it is just a projection, it looks really strong. I believe that this bloodline is from the Ancient Times. I should take him to my master so that my master can figure out what has happened."
"But first of all, I will keep it in control." saying this Leo flew to the sky and came near to the dragon. He took out his spear from his space ring.
"Astral Manifestation"
A big lion with a golden mane and a single black horn came out from his body. He looked at that huge dragon and said in a mocking tone, "Come."
It looked like the huge dragon didn't have any intelligence. It immediately opened up its mouth and a huge black flame came out of it.
"Go!!" Leo mobilized his energy in the spear. The spear shone goldenly and he threw it straight at the mouth of the dragon. The projection of the lion surrounded the spear and together it went straight to the flames.
"Damn, you should have said that you were going to use this ability. The people nearby will get blown away by the aftershock." saying this Joel took out four formation flags from his space ring and threw it in the air and said, "Go."
The flags went to all the corners of the platform and by injecting his Qi, white light surrounded the whole platform and covered every single one of them.
The spear easily penetrated the flames and went straight to the mouth of the dragon and a huge explosion took place. But there was no damage to the formation and the people were safe.
"They are indeed disciples of the big sect. They have extraordinary means. It looks like the problem got solved." thought Davion from a distance.
Later Leo brought a young boy who was unconscious in his arms. "Eh, it looks like he has fainted. Whew, the kid didn't cultivate. If he had cultivated then it would have been difficult to stop it."
"Ryan, dress him up, we will take him back to the sect after the ceremony. He is gonna join us," said Leo indifferently. The boy who used to stand behind Leo came and took Phillips back. When he was about to leave, something unexpected happened.
"HAHA, do you kids think you can take him?"
A sound that sounded like thunder came from above. Just with the sound, the formation set up by Joel got broken up and he had a little bit of blood on his lips.
The sky started to turn black and a huge crack was seen in it. The crack became big and a hand slowly came out of it. Later the whole body came out. He was wearing a black cloak with his face hidden.
Leo asked loudly, "Who are you and what do you want?"
The man in the black laughed out loud, "Hehe, even your elders don't dare to be so bold in front of me, little guy. You are not qualified to know my name. You should just know that I am from the Heavenly Demon Sect and I am here for the dragon kid." He pointed his index finger towards the unconscious boy.
"Ryan, just take that kid and try to run away, I will try to buy some time." Leo took out his spear. But he had beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Those bastards from the Heavenly Demon Sect always used to hide from us. The first time they have come so openly," said Joel as he took out a huge round disk from his space ring.
"It looks like they really care about that kid. We must not let him fall to their hands," said David as he stood up on top of his sword and got ready to battle.
"Girls go back and tell those disciples from the middle-grade sects and lower-grade sects to protect these candidates and try to stay far away from this place," Jasmine whispered as she took out a huge bow from her ring.
"Haha, are you guys really trying to buy time for that kid to run away?" The man in the cloak laughed and he just pointed his finger at Ryan. Ryan, who was running while carrying Phillips immediately fell on his knees and he couldn't move.
Seeing this, Leo got anxious and immediately flew to the sky. Seeing this David, Jasmine and Joel also followed after him.
