As they spoke, they could sense Dragon Pressure wafting from the other side of the island. Just like what Zhu Lie had said, Fu Chi was indeed coming over.
Noticing the familiar aura, Madam Hua grew more confident as she stared viciously at Yang Kai.
βMove!β Zhu Lie growled all of a sudden and pushed out a palm at Yang Kai.
Seeing that, Yang Kai stomped his foot and leaped off to the other side.
Right then, Madam Hua, who was still coming up with ideas on how to torture Yang Kai, Lu San Niang and her daughter, spat blood suddenly. All her bones had been cracked as she was engulfed in excruciating pain. With her vitality leaving her body rapidly, she turned her head with difficulty and looked at Zhu Lie in disbelief, βSir, youβ¦β
As her head slumped to the side, all her aura dissipated. Her eyes were still wide open while she was dead. In her last moments, she still couldnβt understand why Zhu Lie decided to kill her.
Apparently, Lu San Niang didnβt grasp what was going on either. Seeing that Zhu Lie had killed Madam Hua, she raised her hands to rub her eyes, thinking that she was mistaken. [I donβt think he accidentally killed her. Heβs an Eighth-Order Dragon, so itβs not possible that heβd kill the wrong target.]
Just when she was doubtful, Zhu Lie pushed out both his palms, upon which the two women who had come to this place with Madam Hua, grunted and lost their lives. Blood was streaming out from all their seven orifices.
At that instant, the colour drained from Lu San Niangβs beautiful face. By now, she was certain that it wasnβt an accident. Zhu Lie intentionally killed all three of Fu Chiβs women. [Whatβs going on? Wasnβt he supposed to kill Yang Kai? Why did he spare Yang Kai but murder Madam Hua and the other women?]
Lu San Niang was stumped as the incident was beyond her. Just then, Zhu Lie turned his head and stared at Lu San Niang and her daughter. With his gaze filled with murderous intent, he raised his hand and was ready to make a strike.
With her face turning a shade paler, Lu San Niangβs chest tightened. Suddenly, a figure appeared before her eyes. Yang Kai was standing in front of her as he said gently, βYou canβt kill them.β
Zhu Lie replied, βBetter safe than sorry.β
At that, Yang Kai shook his head, after which Zhu Lie said angrily, βWhatever. If the truth is exposed, itβs you who will be troubled.β
Upon finishing his words, he shifted his attention to Yuan Wu, who had remained lying on the ground after he was attacked by Yang Kai. At that moment, his body was trembling uncontrollably.
After all, he was a Dragonborn who was in the Second-Order Emperor Realm. Yang Kai didnβt exert much force with his palm earlier, so it wasnβt possible that Yuan Wu would really pass out from the impact. In fact, he was just pretending to have lost consciousness. As he watched the following incidents, he felt his heart pounding terribly against his chest.
The sight of Zhu Lie murdering Madam Hua and the other two women was extremely shocking for him. By now, he realized that Zhu Lie had sided with Yang Kai. Otherwise, he wouldnβt have helped Yang Kai silence all the witnesses before Fu Chi arrived. Hence, Yuan Wu knew he was also one of his targets.
The moment Yuan Wu saw Zhu Lie staring at him, he knew that he was in trouble. After hesitating between begging for mercy and running for his life, he decided to flee. As he ran in the direction Fu Chi was coming, he shouted, βSir, help me!β
Although he didnβt understand why Zhu Lie wanted to kill all of them, he knew that Zhu Lie wouldnβt let him off. Therefore, it would be pointless for him to beg for his mercy. If he wanted to survive, he could only rely on Fu Chi. Even though the chance was slim, it was better than having no hope at all.
After staring coldly at his figure for a while, Zhu Lie lifted his hand and condensed a ferocious Fire Dragon from his flames.
Feeling the heat, Yuan Wu panicked, and when he turned his head and saw the Fire Dragon, he felt as though his soul had left him as he shouted desperately, βNo!β
In the blink of an eye, he was engulfed in the Fire Dragon, which was summoned by a Pureblood Dragon, so it wasnβt possible for Yuan Wu to parry or escape. As his body was on fire, he screamed and collapsed to the ground, upon which he rolled around and struggled.
After just a short moment though, Yuan Wu stopped moving. His body was completely charred, looking just like a big piece of charcoal.
Finally, Fu Chi arrived at the scene. He looked like a man in his thirties with a sturdy physique. Despite not saying anything, he gave off a stern vibe. Crackling sounds could be heard as he was surrounded by arcs of lightning.
With a dark gaze, Fu Chi shot a look at Zhu Lie, apparently not welcoming him. It seemed that there were some grudges between them. Then, he took a brief glance at Yang Kai and looked away, as he didnβt have any regard for a Human. However, he frowned when he saw Lu San Niang.
Certainly, he still remembered Lu San Niang. It was he who kidnapped Lu San Niang from the Northern Territory and brought her to Dragon Island. He was also the one who banished her out of the island. The latter incident happened barely more than ten years ago, so he still remembered it.
On the other hand, Lu San Niang didnβt have the courage to look at him. Her face as pale as a white sheet, she stood in front of Lu Yu Qin as her tender body trembled uncontrollably. Fortunately, Fu Chi didnβt seem to care about her as he had only shot her a brief glance.
The next moment, Fu Chi was infuriated and said through gritted teeth, βZhu Lie, what have you done!?β
At that moment, he saw the corpse of his favourite woman lying on the beach. Her eyes were still wide open, and her mouth was caked in blood. Her corpse was still surrounded by some faint Dragon Essence, so it was apparent that she was killed by a member of the Dragon Clan.
Now, there was only one Dragon Clan member here, which was Zhu Lie. Fu Chi didnβt need to ask any questions to know that it was Zhu Lie who killed her, and that fact alone enraged him.
This island was his territory, so naturally, he couldnβt tolerate the fact that his toys were killed by Zhu Lie.
While Fu Chi was fuming, Zhu Lie uttered dispassionately, βI just helped you kill a woman who thought too highly of herself.β
With a livid expression, Fu Chi questioned, βWhat do you mean?β
He wasnβt aware of what had happened. Although this place wasnβt far from his residence, he didnβt have the time to keep watch on this area all the time. He only came all the way here because he could sense Zhu Lieβs aura, but he didnβt expect to see this sight when he arrived.
βWhat do you think Iβm talking about? Sheβs just an insignificant person, but she had the gall to offend me.β Zhu Lie snorted.
βShe offended you?β Fu Chi was both surprised and doubtful. Madam Hua had been living on Dragon Island for centuries, so it wasnβt possible that she would recklessly offend a member of the Dragon Clan. Furthermore, as far as he knew, Madam Hua had met Zhu Lie before and thus knew his identity.
There were only a small number of Dragon Clan members, and those with extremely pure bloodlines were even rarer. Since Madam Hua had met Zhu Lie before, Fu Chi didnβt think she would rashly offend him for it would be akin to courting death.
[Whatβs going on?]
βWhatβs wrong? Are you sad to see her dead?β Zhu Lie put on a sneer.
Fu Chi stared fixedly at him and gave it a thought before replying, βThey were just my playthings, so I donβt care if theyβre dead. Why would I be sad about it?β
Indeed, these women were not important to him, and Madam Huaβs death didnβt really matter. What he cared about was his own dignity. Zhu Lie had just killed his people on his own island, which was a challenge to his authority. However, his situation was a bit sensitive right now, so he wouldnβt want to argue with Zhu Lie, lest the matter escalate into a conflict. After coming up with an excuse, he uttered, βSince she offended you, her death isnβt worth pitying.β
βIβm glad you understand.β Zhu Lie snorted.
Then, Fu Chi questioned coldly, βWhy are you here today?β
Zhu Lie replied, βIβm here to check on the construction of the palace.β
βThatβs it?β Fu Chi frowned.
His expression turning dark, Zhu Lie said sternly, βThis is an important matter.β
Fu Chi nodded, βIndeed, itβs an important matter. Since youβre here, we should have a look together. Iβm not sure how much has been completed either. I just took a brief glance, but the progress seemed satisfactory. Those lowly people are indeed somewhat capable.β
With a cold expression, Zhu Lie flew off in the palaceβs direction. In the blink of an eye, he was nowhere in sight.
Fu Chiβs expression turned grim for Zhu Lie had been impolite to him on this day. He was displeased at the fact that even though he had extended an olive branch to Zhu Lie, the latter still appeared arrogant.
They were on par in terms of power and bloodline, so Fu Chi couldnβt really flare up. Moreover, in just one month, he wouldnβt have to be wary of him anymore. By then, he would be able to get his revenge. With this thought in mind, he turned around and disappeared as well.
Now, only the corpses, Yang Kai and the mother and daughter pair remained. Just now, Fu Chi hadnβt paid any attention to Lu San Niang, nor did he care about Lu Yu Qinβs presence. To him, these two were air, not even worthy of his attention.
Lu San Niang became dejected realizing this, not for herself, but for her daughter. Lu Yu Qin was still Fu Chiβs daughter, but Fu Chi was utterly stone-hearted towards her, which caused Lu San Niang to be crestfallen. Fortunately, Lu Yu Qin didnβt understand the intricacies of the situation.
Nevertheless, Lu San Niangβs focus was on another matter. Still reeling from the shock, she gazed at Yang Kai and said gently, βLittle Brother Yang, heβ¦β
Yang Kai replied impassively, βDonβt tell anyone what has happened today.β
With a solemn expression, Lu San Niang nodded repeatedly, βI understand. My daughter and I swear we wonβt tell another soul about this matter. Please rest assured.β
Yang Kai nodded and looked in the palaceβs direction. If it werenβt for Zhu Lieβs timely arrival, this issue wouldnβt have been settled so easily, especially after Fu Chi arrived.
Apparently, Zhu Lie was aware of this as well, which was why he turned ruthless suddenly by killing Madam Hua and the other two women as well as Yuan Wu, who had been pretending to have passed out. If Yang Kai didnβt stop him, Zhu Lie undoubtedly would have killed Lu San Niang and her daughter as well.
However, Yang Kai wasnβt so worried. If things really got out of control, he would have just fought it out with Fu Chi; after all, he didnβt put an Eighth-Order Thunder Dragon in his eyes. Yang Kai was confident he could defeat him, so he had nothing to fear.
With that said, he was satisfied with the outcome. The only thing he didnβt understand was that Fu Chi seemed to be wary of Zhu Lie.
They were both Eighth-Order Dragons, so they shouldnβt be afraid of each other. Nevertheless, Fu Chiβs attitude on this day was puzzling. Since Yang Kai couldnβt figure out what was happening though, he decided to stop thinking about it. Now, he only cared about Zhu Qingβs whereabouts.
Since he had come across Zhu Lie, Yang Kai reckoned he should seize the chance and ask him about Zhu Qingβs whereabouts. Nevertheless, Zhu Lie was with Fu Chi now, so it was inconvenient for Yang Kai to look for him. Left with no choice, Yang Kai could only wait.
He believed that Zhu Lie must have realized his intention for coming to Dragon Island, and since Zhu Lie was willing to help hide Yang Kaiβs identity, he must have his own considerations.
Moments later, a beam of red light shot up from the palace and headed in a particular direction. The red light flashed past Yang Kaiβs head and disappeared over the sea, as though it was done intentionally.
Standing on the beach, Fu Chi stared fixedly at Zhu Lieβs leaving figure. After a sneer, he turned around and left.
Silavin: It seems that even if the Dragons have enmity against each other, they do not wish to ever see their other clan members die.
