Chapter 1029: Chapter 811: The Pinnacle of the Dragon-Slaying Gala_2

"I am acquainted with the ’Lunar Fire’ Mond, so I can only ask it to mediate, hoping to quell the disaster and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Princess Yao Tang, would you be willing to talk?" Xu Yang said.

"My elder brother Pan Yuan deeply detests Mond and has forbidden me from associating with it. But given the urgency of the current situation, I shall break those rigid rules for once." Princess Yao Tang replied.

"Your brother was right. Today is an exception, but from now on, you must keep far from Old Mond." Xu Yang said.

Xu Yang drew a moon-white communication magic formula in midair.

Moon-white runes ignited in the air. Princess Yao Tang recognized them as techniques of the Moon Dragon Race and softly called out, "Old Mond? Do you remember Yao Tang?"

Mond’s voice sounded surprised.

"Yao Tang, my dear... Word has it you were gravely injured back then, and we thought you were long..."

"Indeed. Thanks to my brother’s timely intervention, he brought me back from the ’Keyebert Zone,’ hid me beneath the Dragon Gate Mansion, and watched over me tirelessly for a thousand years, sparing me the calamity of death and obliteration. Yet when my brother saw that Witch wielding a blade approaching, he bolted off to engage in battle with great enthusiasm, neglecting Kunxu territory. He even shattered Dragon Gate Mansion himself—his nature truly remains unchanged across millennia. Now, the Weak Water of Kunxu has already collapsed, leaving its exterior vulnerable and drawing powerful figures from all quarters. If those Taixi Enemy Invaders rally to attack, there is a chance my brother may sustain injuries." Princess Yao Tang said.

"Yao Tang, dear sister, and Xiao Xu, rest assured. Even if it means breaking ties completely today, I will protect you both. Leave the magic formula here to help me locate the Kunxu Strange Tales Zone." Mond said solemnly.

Thereafter, Mond spoke no more, evidently preparing for battle with full effort, ready to intervene personally in the great conflict of the mortal realm.

Mond secretly transmitted a message to Xu Yang, revealing that it was not well-acquainted with Yao Tang’s existence.

Yao Tang’s gentle and kind nature had prompted Pan Yuan to safeguard her carefully, fearful that she might fall victim to the world’s explicit threats and hidden dangers.

Especially from Old Mond.

Pan Yuan would never reveal even the slightest information about Yao Tang to Mond. Mond, in turn, kept a respectful distance from Pan Yuan’s sister, not even knowing whether she was alive or dead. But today, Mond had no choice but to step in, lest they all be annihilated.

Xu Yang understood the implication. Then, he turned to inspect the Dragon Princess Yao Tang’s wound—it was impossible not to notice such a severe injury.

"This longitudinal scar..." Xu Yang examined the ghastly wound sustained by Princess Yao Tang.

She sighed and said, "It is rare for you to care. However, this wound was inflicted by an extraterrestrial astral demon and is beyond recovery. I rely on my brother’s devoted protection just to barely hang on."

"This place is far too dangerous." Xu Yang murmured, "Princess Yao Tang should remain in Pan Yuan’s territory for greater safety."

"Your wife is exceedingly powerful. If she were to clash with my elder brother, they might very well fight until a realm crumbles completely. I will likely be fine, but those three women are doomed." Princess Yao Tang laughed softly, glancing at the three elderly or injured companions nearby.

Lu Jing, Li Qingyan, and Wang Jingxuan.

"So it was to rescue them that Princess Yao Tang left the Dragon Gate Mansion. This act of kindness—I shall remember it on their behalf." Xu Yang said.

Lu Jing struggled to stand up.

She gazed hollowly at the golden Dragon Ball coiled around Princess Yao Tang’s tail.

"That Dragon Ball—is that the secret to Dragon Gate Mansion’s ability to traverse time and space?" Xu Yang scrutinized it closely.

The Dragon Ball seemed to embody the essence of Princess Yao Tang’s power, gleaming transparently. Upon closer inspection, Xu Yang saw reflections of every facet of his earlier life—a multitude of moments displayed as if across countless monitors playing simultaneously.

The maddened Lu Jing crawled laboriously toward Princess Yao Tang.

Yao Tang casually shifted her tail toward Lu Jing, allowing her to clutch the Dragon Ball tightly with both hands, yet no reaction occurred.

"The Dragon Ball still needs time to be imbued with power; it cannot be used at present. More importantly, I do not trust you." Princess Yao Tang said slowly.

Lu Jing could no longer speak, collapsing weakly to the ground.

Her fingers stroked her deeply wrinkled, furrowed face, once young and charming but now hideously aged like an eighty-year-old crone.

At that moment, a mechanical figure radiating an immortal aura rushed in hastily.

Liu Tianshi!

Liu Tianshi dashed forward, producing Lu Jing’s backup Consciousness Chip, and eagerly knelt beside Lu Jing to work with Xu Yang on restoring her Digital Mind.

Lu Jing, lying prone on the ground, still appeared withered and aged.

Yet part of her mind had been digitized by the Digital Mind, allowing her recovery via backup files.

"Thank you, Liu Tianshi, for not forgetting Lu Jing." Xu Yang sighed.

"She was my disciple once; there’s no need to thank me. But you—why do you care so much about Lu Jing?" Liu Tianshi shook his head.

"Lu Jing has helped us time and time again." Xu Yang said sternly.

Their understanding was seamless as they worked together to reconstruct Lu Jing’s fractured consciousness.

Due to the effects of the Longevity Candy, Lu Jing’s mind had shattered to a tragic degree.

Fortunately, with the consciousness backup provided by Liu Tianshi and Xu Yang’s masterful restoration techniques, fragments of Lu Jing’s thoughts were being reconstructed. If there were one thing Xu Yang was unparalleled in, it was his expertise with Digital Minds.

"Huff, huff..." Lu Jing’s gaze suddenly became much clearer. "I..."

"Wow, wow..." Wang Jingxuan trembled all over, abruptly standing as she saw Lu Jing gradually regain consciousness.

"How is she? About halfway restored." Xu Yang examined Lu Jing’s Digital Mind, finding numerous alarms still active. The system operation remained precarious, but this was the best they could achieve for now.

"...I’m fine." Lu Jing staggered toward Wang Jingxuan, then struck her facially with a fierce punch.

"Aagh——" Wang Jingxuan’s nose broke, blood streamed profusely, and she passed out again, dropping softly to the ground.
