Chapter 436: Chapter 190: Return with Serious Injuries

"According to Your Excellency," Lu Hong said, "it’s best not to have a large-scale bloody battle erupt in the Dragon Tang plane to avoid supplying energy to the real dragon for resurrection."

"Yes."

Seeing Cain nod, Lu Hong chuckled lightly, "Unfortunately, war has already broken out in Dragon Tang."

Cain’s eyes turned cold, and he then asked sharply, "Is your empire forcibly attacking Dragon Tang?!"

"Hey hey, the plane is sealed. I don’t have the capability to break it. It’s the Dragon Tang’s three main families fighting among themselves. Last night, Soaring Cloud City was bloodily slaughtered by the Karo family. After a blood battle outside Soaring Cloud City, the casualties among the three main families are no less than five hundred thousand. Adding on the civilians originally living in Soaring Cloud City, just from last night, at least nearly three million people have suffered innocently."

Cain’s expression grew solemn. What exactly does Wester intend to do? Knowing that a war had broken out last night, Cain had no time to bother with Lu Hong and turned back towards the mountain summit.

Left behind, Lu Hong, without saying another word, clutched his chest and fled down the mountain. Although he knew Cain wouldn’t kill him, being imprisoned certainly wasn’t a pleasant matter.

Cain returned to the mountain summit, and the Three Saints sensed something was amiss with his expression and immediately asked, "Did that young man bring you some bad news? Did he anger Your Excellency?"

"Contact Wester immediately and have him tell me why he ordered the massacre in Soaring Cloud City!" Cain’s words exploded like thunder, startling the trio.

The three exchanged glances before the eldest among the strongmen spoke, "Your Excellency Cain, please don’t be hasty, I’ll go down the mountain and verify this with the Family Head."

Cain furrowed his brows; he didn’t believe these three didn’t have spatial devices to contact Family Head Karo, suspecting there might be more to the situation.

Thinking this, Cain silently scanned the surroundings. Although he was invited to guard the Formation, he was illiterate regarding Array Patterns and had never looked closely at this grand space Formation. While unable to discern the Array Patterns, his intuition, honed from years of fighting, made him vaguely uncomfortable.

This vast space Formation might not only be used to seal off the Dragon Tang plane. His heart sank.

Half a month ago, Cain had been invited by Karo Family Head Wester to come to Dragon Tang and was informed of Dragon Tang’s greatest secret to ensure the real dragon would not resurrect. Cain agreed to help the Karo family seal the plane and defend against the empire’s army.

In the meantime, Wester had also promised Cain that he would not initiate large-scale warfare, aiming to minimize casualties in Dragon Tang and pass this period of the Dragon Soul’s restlessness.

Initially, Cain somewhat trusted Wester, until Lu Hong informed him of the destruction of Soaring Cloud City and Karo’s massacre.

This information was very important to Cain as Wester, aware of the Dragon Tang’s secret, had permitted widespread killing under his command—this action was far too abnormal and made Cain vigilant.

In less than an hour, the Three Saints returned and bowed to Cain, "Your Excellency Cain, sorry to keep you waiting."

"What did Wester say!" Cain asked sternly.

The leader of the Three Saints chuckled, "The Family Head said it was all a misunderstanding. He specifically instructed his subordinates to minimize casualties and spare civilians in the actions against Soaring Cloud City. Unfortunately, the commanders, Changkong and Tu Hetai, acted selfishly and committed the appalling massacre. But rest assured, the Family Head has already ordered their execution. Moreover, he said he will be careful next time and will not repeat the same mistake."

After hearing the explanation, Cain nodded slightly, "If that’s the case, let’s leave it be."

Saying this, Cain turned back to the eastern Formation position.

However, the Three Saints interrupted, "Lord Cain, the tragic news from Soaring Cloud City is regrettable, but since it has come to this, we can only defend the grand Formation. The Family Head told us this grand Formation can sense the real dragon’s Soul Power. Please assist us in investigating the current state of this real dragon, to see if there are any signs of revival."

"Alright." Cain nodded upon hearing this and followed the Three Saints to the center of the Formation.

Triggered by the Three Saints, the mysterious Formation emitted deep blue ripples.

"Lord Cain, as your Divine Soul is the strongest, could you please help us investigate?" With these words, a spatial rift appeared in front of Cain.

Looking at the dark spatial rift in front of him, Cain projected his will into it.

In the darkness, Cain continued to move forward, searching. About an hour later, a faint light appeared in front of him.

Cain cautiously approached with his soul. He saw a translucent, emerald-green dragon soul deeply asleep in the darkness, showing no sign of awakening.

There seemed to be no significant issue, and Cain was relieved. He was about to turn back when the dragon soul before him suddenly vanished.

Startled, Cain hurriedly searched around, but only darkness surrounded him, obscuring everything.

"That young man was right; it really came."

Suddenly, the voice of the Dragon Soul echoed in Cain’s ears.

Cain made a split decision and ran frantically back, trying to leave the place.

But Dragon Soul wouldn’t give him the chance, as it was more familiar with the darkness than Cain was.

Cain couldn’t even figure out from where the Dragon Soul was attacking when his arm was bitten off.

"Delicious, indeed delicious," the Dragon Soul chewed on Cain’s soul body and let out a greedy laugh, "You can’t escape, become my exquisite meal!"

Although after the Third Transition he specialized in cultivating the strength of his Divine Soul, he had never come into contact with special attack skills for the Divine Soul. Therefore, in the face of this ancient Dragon Soul, Cain was like a lamb to the slaughter, completely defenseless.

What to do? Cain was extremely anxious. Although this wasn’t his entire Divine Soul, if it perished here, his main body would surely be severely damaged.

No! Cain suddenly realized, Dragon Soul had mentioned at the beginning that someone had told it that a Divine Soul would enter this place.

At this moment, Cain made a desperate decision and detonated half of his Divine Soul, pulling his will back.

The moment he opened his eyes, the weapon of the Three Saints had already reached his brow.

"Holy Seeker Technique!"

A strong Holy Light burst from the top of Dragon Lodge Mountain.

The Three Saints all roared furiously as the spatial Formation was instantly activated. Countless purple tendrils appeared out of nowhere, tightly wrapping around the Holy Light released by Cain and pulled it back into the Formation.

"Suppress it for me!" The Three Saints exerted all their strength, relying on the Formation to forcibly suppress Cain’s skill, causing him to suffer from backlash, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

With his Divine Soul severely damaged, Cain’s power was greatly diminished, and now that he was being suppressed by the spatial Formation, the backlash along with the combined force of the Three Saints and the Formation nearly caused his physical body to collapse.

"You...," Cain barely got the words out before he began coughing up blood, his breath feeble to the extreme.

"Hmph," the Three Saints sneered, "A fool who can’t appreciate kindness, still wants to question the Family Head?"

Cain’s eyes were dark and somber, realizing he had been naive after all.

"Resurrecting the true dragon is the Family Head’s true intention, it’s just that the Dragon Soul told the Family Head that the power of ordinary beings isn’t enough to restore its weakened spirit. It needs a powerful Divine Soul to provide it with nutrients, and that’s why the Family Head targeted you," one of the Three Saints walked up to Cain and kicked him to the ground. "Blame that kid, if he hadn’t brought you the message, maybe you’d have had a few more carefree days."

"Stop talking nonsense with him, kill him and throw him into the Dragon Soul space," the eldest of the Three Saints lifted his sword and stabbed toward Cain’s chest.

Cain, powerless to resist and thinking that he was about to die, saw a silver-gray sword light flash over his head.

The reaction of the Three Saints was also swift, constructing a thick defense with Magic Power in front of him, but unfortunately, it still didn’t block the sword light.

As the aurora flashed, the spatial Formation on top of Dragon Lodge Mountain shook violently, and the Three Saints unbelievably looked down at their own chests.

A bloodline slowly appeared between them, and three bodies thunderously fell to the ground.

What happened? Cain was utterly confused when, three minutes later, Lu Hong’s figure came into view.

"Is it you?" Cain was a bit surprised, as this fellow was clearly very weak; how did he possess the strength to break the great Formation and instantly kill three peak powerhouses?

"Rubbish, who else did you think it could be?" Lu Hong panted heavily.

Being able to charge up without alarming the Third Transition powerhouses was indeed a tough challenge for Lu Hong, which required maintaining a very, very long distance.

After maintaining such a distance, the trade-off was the consumption of the charge-up. Relying solely on the power of the holy sword wasn’t enough; he also had to expend his own Fighting Spirit, so this ultra-long-distance strike cost him all his Pure Steel Battle Energy and more than half his total vitality.

"Let’s leave quickly; the people from the Cairo family might arrive any moment."

Lu Hong carried Cain and quickly fled the scene.

As soon as both of them left, that pitch-black spatial rift reappeared, a Dragon Soul’s tail emerged, coiling around the bodies of the Three Saints and pulling them back into the space, then contentedly closed the rift.
