Strange, why is there not a single shadow? Not even a guard. By the timeline, they should have already unified the Dragon Clan by now; could they be in some kind of danger? I unconsciously touched the gem on my right ear that had started to turn red.
Entering Black Horn Hall, everything looked familiar; I really was back. Going up to the second floor, the room I used to stay in was still kept very clean, it seemed it was cleaned daily. On the table was a bouquet of Azure Demon Roses. Yes, my favorite roses. Who placed them here?
"Little Flower Fairy, I ask you, who put you here?"
There was no response. Fine, "If you don't speak, I'll throw you out."
"Don't! Don't! Don't throw us out!" several Little Flower Fairies cried out in unison. "It's too scary outside."
"Answer my question."
"I'll tell you! It was Prince Silvermoon. His Highness comes here every day to clean."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Um, well, His Highness doesn't allow us to say."
I smiled warmly; it must have been that time in Beast Forest when I was so enchanted by the scenery that I reached out to touch the Azure Demon Roses and didn't notice the beast's attack. That was when Silvermoon saved me for the first time.
Sigh, how should I respond to Silvermoon's kindness...
"But, but—" the Little Flower Fairy hesitated and murmured.
"But what?"
"Your Highness hasn't come here for a day; this has never happened before."
"Yeah, Your Highness comes here every day and even talks to us."
"That's right! Your Highness is the gentlest Male Ghost I've ever seen. I really like him."
"Shut up! It's obvious that Your Highness has taken a liking to you. Don't you know? He sends us to his favorite girl."
"You told me! I heard it when Your Highness said it, you fool!"
Ignoring the chattering of the Little Flower Fairies, it seemed something really had happened here. I couldn't just wait around; I needed to find out where they were.
"Who is it?!" I clearly sensed a familiar life form entering, quickly approaching the first floor.
"Is that you—Qingfeng?"
"Miss Xi Dream, have you really come back?" Qingfeng was obviously very excited as he rushed in front of me.
"Yes, I'm back." Smiling at Qingfeng, even though a long time had passed in the human world, nothing had changed here; Qingfeng was still the same.
"What about them? Where did everyone go? Why are you the only one here?"
At this point, Qingfeng's face visibly stiffened.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Miss Xi Dream, during the time you were away, the Underworld suddenly began to stir, with various forces becoming restless and the atmosphere turning strange. Young Master and the others have noticed that the situation is serious, but as long as the seal of Dark Corner remains unbroken, we will be unable to resist. Many races outside Dark Corner have started to move here in large numbers, collectively turning their sights on our Dragon Clan. This time, it definitely won't just be a simple hunt." Qingfeng's words revealed boundless sorrow.
"Where are they?"
"We, the Dragon Clan, are gathered at the very edge of Dark Foot, preparing to face them. Everyone has made up their minds to fight to the death. Young Master told me to stay here; they are afraid you might return and instructed you not to leave Black Horn Hall. If they do not come back for a long time, I am to take you out through the underground passage."
"Damn it, what do they take me for? Bastards." I suddenly felt like crying; those guys really weren't being considerate.
"Take me there, Qingfeng."
"No way, miss, it's too dangerous. You can't go."
"Then I'll go by myself; you stay here."
"Miss, it's not that I'm afraid for you! It's that Young Master ordered me to protect you at all costs. He said you are the only hope for opening this place. There are many of our descendants hidden away, and they are waiting for you to open the seal and break free. Miss, do you know? To protect all of us in the Dragon Clan, several elders from different races sacrificed themselves."
"How could this happen? All of them? Jade Elder, Elder Bai, Elder Hong, all of them?"
"Yes, miss, not just our clan's elders. Young Master and the others faced numerous dangers and finally managed to recover all the Dragon Clan members. Just recently, all the elders sacrificed themselves in a great battle."
"No! Who killed them?" If Yapu Teacher were here, he would know I was truly angry.
"Miss, your hair... what happened to you?" Qingfeng's panic went unanswered. Right now, all I could think about was slaughter.
"Do you think those calamities can be eliminated? Do you believe there is still hope for your descendants in the Demon Dragon Clan?" My voice was cold and harsh, but it spoke the truth.
"I, I, I don't know, miss, I don't know what to do."
"Take me there." Qingfeng, unable to resist any longer, finally compromised.
Sitting on Qingfeng's back, I quickly set off in that direction. Along the way, Qingfeng told me about what had happened during this time.
Centipede Hidden Dragon and Earth Dragon Clan were the first to recover. Although it took some time, it went smoothly. The Purple Mist Poison Dragon has long inhabited the south because their race is born with physical defects and contains a potent toxin within them. This poison is also their best weapon; however, they must rely on a type of fruit that only grows in the southernmost part of Dark Corner. As a result, their population is very scarce. Later, Flower Tears used the ring I left behind to filter out the toxins from their bodies, extracting it from their blood and ultimately turning it into the deadliest weapon.
In the end, when recovering the Raging Ironclad Dragon, they sacrificed many companions. It was a brutal battle where both sides fought fiercely. Only by doing so did the Raging Ironclad Dragon agree to submit. Although Qingfeng described it simply, I understood how difficult it had been for them during this time. Therefore, at this moment, I would never abandon them.
Not long after unifying the dragon clans, an unprecedented war broke out at Dark Corner, causing countless casualties. In one day, numerous dragons self-destructed rather than fall into enemy hands. The Elders worked together to repel the enemy forces and voluntarily offered their inner cores after sustaining severe injuries. With the inner cores obtained, there were two paths: one was voluntary sacrifice by the opponent, and the other was killing them without any reaction; otherwise, most would choose self-destruction.
Thus, in order to protect the dragon clan, they chose to consume the inner cores. The price for wanting to rapidly increase their strength overnight would not be simple. Enduring the pain of consuming their companions' and Elders' inner cores while also facing the intense shock during consumption was an unbearable torment. If they couldn't withstand it, they would only explode and die; it seemed everyone was fighting hard.
"Young Master and the others have always had high cultivation comprehension and have never stopped training. With the addition of the Elders' inner cores, they have now reached the realm of High-ranking Dark Saint."
"So everyone’s strength is not weak at all, and with the dragon clan beginning to unify, how could the Elders still be severely injured? What kind of opponent are they facing?" This truly puzzled me; even with the suppression of Nether Energy, it shouldn't be so devastating.
"The opponents number nearly a hundred thousand and include many strange races that cannot be killed. Even if they are shattered, they can heal themselves; it's terrifying."
"So this means someone is targeting you or wants to completely eliminate you. Such a large-scale mobilization suggests they might sense something and are afraid."
"Miss, we've arrived; it's just ahead. Hold on tight; we're going down."
Qingfeng did not take me directly to the battlefield but stopped on a nearby rock. I understood she wanted me to see clearly; however, no matter how dangerous it was, would I leave alone?!
The war has begun, and both sides are in chaos. What a nuisance, what kind of monster is that? The black Skeleton Army cannot be cut down or killed; even if destroyed, they can regenerate! No wonder the enemy is so rampant.
It seems this matter will not be so simple. These Skeleton Monsters have no Intelligence, indicating they are being controlled. Given the immense resources being expended, it must be to prevent something. The only thing I can think of is that someone is afraid—afraid of the Dark Corner being unsealed.
I must find Silver Moon and the others quickly; time is of the essence. Only by breaking the seal on the Dark Corner can we stop this catastrophe. Watching the weak Demon Dragon Clan fall with a single strike, otherwise, they will be annihilated.
In the central area, where the energy fluctuations are strongest, I found them!
It seems that those who have already reached High-ranking Dark Saint indeed possess terrifying abilities.
Silver Moon's Qilin Beast breathes flames, incinerating a circle of skeletons around it. Wait? Those destroyed Skeleton Monsters did not regenerate?!
If that's the case, I am even more certain that these monsters are specifically targeting the Demon Dragon Clan. Silver Moon and Wild Ghost have opened a killing spree; although there is no immediate danger, their Soul Energy will soon be depleted. Moreover, those Demon Dragons may not last until they finish off all these skeletons.
White Soul and Flower Tears still stand together; no skeletons are attacking Flower Tears, while White Soul appears to be merely muttering something, causing many skeletons to vanish around them.
The situation is not as favorable as it seems. While I am not as helpless as those weak Demon Dragons, resisting is still quite difficult. Compared to Silver Moon and the others, I feel as if I am weighed down by a heavy burden, moving slowly.
Everything confirms my thoughts.
"Qingfeng, you stay here; I'll go find them."
"Miss, no! Let me go down to protect you."
"No need; stay." After saying this, I summoned Little Pink and rushed down.
Qingfeng also understood that since even his Young Master was being suppressed so severely, going down himself would be of no use. However, those below were his compatriots; how could he live on alone here? Gritting his teeth, he charged down.
The scene was chaotic. The Skeleton Bone stopped upon seeing me. What does this mean? Why aren’t they attacking me? Well, I won’t thank you for it.
“Thunder, merge, break through them for me!”
With a loud bang, a gap was created, and I quickly moved towards Yin Yue and the others.
Ahead, Yin Yue, Ye Gui, White Soul, and Flower Tears were all protecting Against Heaven; it seemed his situation was dire.
“Be careful, Little Pink, hurry to Against Heaven’s side!” A gap appeared. Unlike ordinary Skeleton Monsters, this one seemed much stronger and was about to attack Against Heaven. Yin Yue and the others were also at their wits' end.
“Wind Howl Nine Heavens!” Fortunately, I made it just in time! Without pausing to catch my breath, I quickly joined them.
“I’m back!” Suddenly realizing that despite facing various dangers and trials before, I hadn’t cried; now, I found myself choked up.
Yin Yue, with his back to me, froze for a moment before turning around and tightly hugging me. “Why did you come here, you fool?” His voice trembled, showing no hint of reproach.
I hugged him back. “I thought you would say you missed me, Senior.” My words came out slowly as if joking.
“I miss you.”
It was my turn to be stunned; he said it so decisively.
“From now on, don’t call me Senior.” How sweet that sounded.
Looking up at the silver moon, I nodded, "Moon." Regardless of any romantic feelings between men and women, we had long been sworn brothers.
"Xi Meng, thank you for coming," Nether said weakly.
"What are you talking about? We are already family." I reached out and embraced him.
There were also the Wild Ghost, White Soul, and Flower Tears. Everyone was together again; it felt so good, didn't it?
"Nether, I know how to break the seal here."
Nether was stunned, seemingly unable to believe it, staring at me blankly.
"It's true."
"Great, Nether, you and Xi Meng go break the seal. We'll hold them off," Silver Moon said.
There was no time to think further. "Alright, Xi Meng, let's hurry."
Although the Nether Beast was powerful, it had to be controlled by me, meaning they couldn't stray too far from me.
Looking at the dark mass of Skeleton Monsters, otherwise, everyone wouldn't have to struggle so much.
"Everyone hold on, trust me." I summoned Little Pink and charged with Nether toward the center of the Dark Corner.
