--- Chapter 242 ---
"The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe is... Destroyed."
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
They just found the scheme of their enemy, but they were somehow one step ahead.
It is not normal.
Yunyun pinched the bridge of her nose and mumbled, "Falling dragons, the phoenixes who should cry in happiness, fell into an unknown sorrow and experienced the same end."
"Medusa..."
"You think you're slick."
"You know this would happen."
"Cai Lin knew about this?" Baek Ain gazed at Yunyun with a frown.
Yunyun shook her head bitterly and explained, "She didn't specifically tell me about it. Once in a while, she would tell me random phrases and forget about them in our conversations."
"Her ability to read things is terrifying, but it comes with weakness."
"She couldn't tell the truth directly, or there would be heavy consequences."
Baek Ain narrowed his eyes because Cai Lin had once told him about future events, and if what Yunyun said was true, she must have paid the price for it.
"Then, she couldn't risk changing the future." He mumbled to himself.
"Still, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe just gone like that..."
"How unfortunate."
Luo Bingbing looked at Baek Ain and said, "Husband, that's how this world works. Only strength speaks here, and the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe isn't strong enough to survive."
"But isn't the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe supposed to be at the same level as the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe?" Yafei commented while glancing at Yunyun.
"Aren't they destroyed too fast?"
Yunyun sighed and answered, "You're right. Normally, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan should be able to protect themselves from harm."
"But we can't underestimate how scheming the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan were."
"Not to mention... The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe isn't as harmonious as the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe as they got separated into four island factions."
Yunyun added, "If Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe got attacked, we could react anytime and find a way out. On the other hand, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe is..."
[Ding! You have triggered the quest]
[Name: The Last Ancient Void Dragon]
[Introduction: Even though the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe got destroyed, their last blood still lives in the Jia Nan Academy. Please fetch her from the academy before the Hall of Souls can and help her ascend as the True Dragon Empress]
[Objective: Found and assist Zi Yan (0/2)]
[Time Limit: A week]
[Reward: 1x Dragon Blood Potion Recipe, 12x True Dragon Blood Grass]
[Penalty: None]
[Do you want to accept the quest?]
Baek Ain stared at the sudden appearance of the system panel with a poker face. He already expected this to happen.
'Alicia.'
[It's automatic, Host]
[But I guarantee something, helping her would benefit you...]
Baek Ain wryly laughed inside because helping a dragon as Behemoth is a weird scenario. When he saw a dragon-blooded creature, all he could think of was food.
The only exception to this is Qing Lin, who possessed the bloodline of an ancient Serpentine Dragon.
'I accept the quest.' Baek Ain accepted the quest and gazed at the distance.
Zi Yan is one of many deuteragonists in the Battle Through The Heaven Story, and Baek Ain avoided her back then, so he didn't implicate things.
Ironically. Baek Ain has to save her now.
He glanced at Yafei and said, "There is one remaining Ancient Void Dragon Tribe Member left in the Dou Qi Continent."
"Her name is Zi Yan, and she luckily ate the Human Transformation Flower."
"After becoming human, she currently stayed at Jia Nan Academy."
"Jia Nan Academy?" Yafei was perplexed.
"This... Isn't that the academy that Xiao Yan went to? It's too good to be a coincidence."
Luo Bingbing furrowed her brows and asked, "Don't tell me this girl got tricked by that fellow Xiao Yan, too?"
Baek Ain smiled weakly, "I don't know about that, but we can assume things."
"That bastard... Husband, you should make him suffer more before his death." Luo Bingbing put on a cute yet fierce expression. "He's getting away too easily after swindling so many girls, including my disciple."
Baek Ain didn't bother to fix Luo Bingbing's vision on this matter because Xiao Yan did swindle many girls in his short lifetime.
"Why did you suddenly mention this girl?" Yunyun asked in confusion.
Baek Ain smiled and answered, "It's because she has a way of weakening our enemy. Although my strength is enough to wipe the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan, we can't eliminate the possibility of them having a secret technique to repel me."
"Since the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan have wiped the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, she, as the last member of the tribe, deserved to avenge her tribesmen."
"I see..." Yunyun replied with a thoughtful expression.
"So, when are we going to visit this girl?"
'We?' Baek Ain stared at Yunyun in surprise. It seems the Heaven Demon Phoenix Saintess wanted to follow him.
He glanced at the window and saw the bright sun, "Now. We must take her to safety now."
"We can't let the Hall of Souls reach her first."
"What are we waiting for then?" Luo Bingbing summoned her trustworthy sword and placed it on her hip.
Yafei looked at them and said, "I will stay and prepare for something."
"Okay, we will be back as soon as possible." Baek Ain nodded and vanished alongside Luo Bingbing and Yunyun.
...
...
Jia Nan Academy.
Dark thunderclouds covered the bright sky, and an ominous aura hit the area with dread.
Everyone in the academy felt suffocated. They felt every part of their bodies got crushed just by existing alone.
"Kekeke, how is the taste of Heaven Might Soul Array Formation?" A gruff voice mocked them. A black-clothed figure hovered in the sky. Behind him is a bright red halo, which glows with deep blood light.
"Hand over the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe member or your pitiful academy will perish!"
A purple-haired girl in a dark purple dress looked very worried. She gritted her teeth and said, "Great Elder, just let me go."
"All my tribesmen are dead anyway. If my sacrifice can help Jia Nan Academy, I will do it."
Su Qian shook his head solemnly, "You can't. The Hall of Souls must have something planned."
"They targeted you because they needed something from you."
"Take that away, and this world might fall into danger."
"Also... Do you really think they would fulfill their side of the deal?" He put on a disgusted expression. "The Hall of Souls is an evil and despicable faction!"
"B-But..." Zi Yan was worried.
She was hopeless when sensing her family's deaths. Without them, she found no meaning in life.
"No, but!" Su Qian sternly chopped Zi Yan's head, making her groan in pain.
"You're part of Jia Nan Academy. If I can't even protect you, my position as the Great Elder means nothing!"
"Guardian Bai, Guardian Qian, I hope you can resist the Hall of Souls until the headmaster returns."
Two people appeared before Su Qian.
One wore a white robe, and the other wore a black robe, and they possessed the might of Dou Venerate.
"We will do our best." Guardian Bai and Guardian Qian come out, releasing their might to repel the Hall of Souls.
However, it was futile.
BAM!
Guardian Bai and Guardian Qian were 'instantly' launched back to the nearest building and coughed a mouthful of blood.
"Half-Saint..." Guardian Bai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"The Hall of Souls actually sent a Half-Saint to our academy." Guardian Qian added with a grim mood.
"Tch. We could use the killing array if we still had the Fallen Heart Flame."
"Unfortunately..."
"That bastard of a brat named Xiao Yan, I despise him with my whole being!"
"There is no need to be angry." Guardian Bai sighed. "We can only do our best, even if our lives are on the line."
The Half-Saint snorted at the Guardian Bai and Guardian Qian, "You weak Venerates dare to stop me? FOOLISH!"
"I will give you the taste of death." He stretched his hand, gathering a dark red energy on his finger.
"DIE!"
Swoosh! SHING!
"AAAAAAARGHHH!" An arm dropped from the sky and splattered on the ground. A blood-curdling scream also echoed, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Everyone looked west and saw a woman wielding a thin blue sword.
And that woman is none other than Luo Bingbing!
