Star Dragon God
In an instant, the Pipi Beast's eyes burst with a brilliant light that shot directly into Huo Feng's eyes, causing Huo Feng to tremble all over. Immediately, the scene that Pipi Beast witnessed appeared before Huo Feng.
Ice was conversing with Lu Hui, and from the looks of it, Ice was not being held captive at all. It was clear that just Lu Hui alone could not possibly restrain Ice...
As Pipi Beast was transmitting memories about Ice and Lu Hui to Huo Feng, Lu Hui did not expect such a turn of events and suddenly felt extremely unwilling, causing his rhythm to become chaotic.
He summoned the Floating Ghost Python, which quickly headed towards Huo Feng and the others, targeting the Floating Ghost Python. At this moment, Zhao Alliance Leader shouted, "Do you want to destroy the evidence?"
Zhao Alliance Leader also soared into the air, heading towards Lu Hui. At this time, Zhao Alliance Leader summoned his own Contract Beast, revealing a massive beast in the sky that blocked out the sun.
This beast had an extremely flat body, with a pair of gigantic, flat wings connected to its body. Its entire body was grayish-white, resembling a semicircle, but it was definitely a semicircle with a diameter of four to five meters. Additionally, it had a tail about three meters long that swayed behind it like a thick rope. This beast was known as the "Void Ray", one of the rarest creatures on this continent, second only to dragons.
As soon as the Void Ray appeared, it descended towards Zhao Alliance Leader, its enormous body and terrifying aura causing those with lower strength to instinctively retreat. When the Void Ray landed, dust filled the air.
At this moment, Zhao Alliance Leader leaped onto the back of the Void Ray, immediately infusing it with his Origin Force. The tail of the Void Ray shimmered with purple light, and in an instant, its tail rapidly elongated, striking towards the vital point of Floating Ghost Python. That spot was indeed the fatal weakness of the Floating Ghost Python. Upon seeing such an attack, the Floating Ghost Python quickly changed direction, originally aimed at Pipi Beast, now heading upwards.
The strike from the Void Ray hit the abdomen of the Floating Ghost Python, sending both it and Lu Hui flying. Knowing he could at most fight to a standstill with Zhao Alliance Leader, and unable to stop Huo Feng from reaching the truth, Lu Hui ceased his attacks and instead moved in front of Ice, quietly waiting.
Seeing Lu Hui's behavior, Zhao Alliance Leader furrowed his brow. It was surprising that under such circumstances, Lu Hui chose not to continue resisting but instead retreated to wait quietly. This made Zhao Alliance Leader suspicious and he asked in a deep voice, "What trick are you playing now?"
"Zhao Alliance Leader, I know I can't defeat you. I don't dare to gamble my life against you. You actually think I'm up to something? That's really disheartening," replied Lu Hui with sweet words.
Knowing that Lu Hui would not do anything foolish, Zhao Alliance Leader decided to keep a close watch on both him and Ice.
Before long, after finishing communication with the Pipi Beast, Huo Feng stood there dazedly, staring blankly at the ground and muttering, "Impossible... this is impossible... you must be lying to me."
Noticing how greatly affected Huo Feng was by this revelation, concern filled Zhao Alliance Leader's gaze as he looked at him. At that moment, Rofu approached Huo Feng, gently patting his shoulder and softly saying, "Huo Feng, brother, I know it's cruel for you to learn this. But if we don’t do this and you fall into their trap only to be killed by them, that would be even more cruel. No matter what happens, you still have us. Everyone in our Free Alliance will treat you as a good brother."
Huo Feng did not respond; he simply stood there with his head down. Just then, a voice rang out.
"Brother! Is this how you're going to be? Is this still my once fearless brother? The one who couldn't be overwhelmed by anything?"
Suddenly lifting his head and looking forward, Huo Feng realized that it was Ice speaking. At this moment, Ice was completely free from any restraints and stood beside Lu Hui, surrounded by thousands of people who were curiously watching him.
Huo Feng looked at Bing with eyes as lifeless as a corpse, as if gazing at a stranger—specifically, the most familiar stranger. He couldn't understand why Bing was doing this. Had he been unkind to Bing? Were the vows of brotherhood they made back then all lies? Was everything about Bing just an act?
At that moment, Bing suddenly said coldly, "No matter what happens today, you cannot escape your fate of death."
"Why? Are you like them, desiring great power for personal gain?" Huo Feng finally asked, his voice trembling with doubt.
Bing clenched his claws tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "Why? Don't you know? Aren't we facing the same fate? Are you really willing to accept it?"
Huo Feng seemed to understand a bit more now. Bing was just like him, born of a human father and a dragon mother, and both their mothers were gone. Thinking of this made Huo Feng feel slightly better; if it weren't for these circumstances, Bing probably wouldn't be acting this way.
However, Huo Feng still didn't fully grasp the situation and asked, "Then we can go to the Dragon Clan to find our mothers. As long as your father stops doing bad things, I can guarantee that the Free Alliance will no longer oppose him."
Bing suddenly let out a Dragon Roar and angrily replied, "Hmph! You think I haven't tried? Do you think it's that easy to bring my mother back? Do you know that our Frost Dragon lineage once committed a grave mistake? The Dragon Clan decided to expel us from Dragon Valley, but we Frost Dragons couldn't bear it and went to war with the entire clan. In the end, only my mother escaped with the help of my grandfather."
"When I was born as a dragon body, I couldn't hide my aura at all. My mother was at her weakest then, and the Dragon Clan noticed her. To protect me, she sacrificed part of her Beast Soul Essence to suppress my aura so that my father could take me away while she stayed behind to give us a chance to survive."
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng felt uneasy. If his mother hadn't died during childbirth, would he have disappeared for the same reason as Bing's mother?
Just as Huo Feng's thoughts became increasingly chaotic, Lu Hui suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You took my beloved wife away and let my Zhan Er live without maternal love from birth. I've suffered from longing for so many years; how can we endure this?"
Bing grew more agitated and fiercely declared, "So we must take revenge! If my mother is still alive, we'll destroy the Dragon Clan and bring her back. If she's gone, then we'll annihilate the entire continent."
"Why? Why do you have to be so twisted? What have others done to you? Even if our Free Alliance perishes, we will stop you!" Zhao Alliance Leader also shouted in anger.
Huo Feng fell silent again, standing there in a daze without knowing what he was contemplating. At that moment, Bing's voice softened considerably as he said, "I'll call you brother one last time. If you can help us fulfill our goal, I promise we will spare your mother."
At this point, everyone noticed that Huo Feng's eyes regained their former color and seemed even more determined than before. He said, "Bing, no matter what you think, I've always regarded you as my good brother—the one who shares joys and sorrows with me. Because I see you as family, I must stop both of you from making mistakes."
"Hmph! What mistakes have we made? It won't be so easy to stop us," Bing replied with a sweep of his massive claw.
Suddenly, two people whom Huo Feng recognized appeared holding someone wrapped in a veil. Huo Feng was shocked; he vaguely remembered these two women from when they had been released in Shadow Cave. However, now he was more concerned about the veiled figure between them.
Bing pointed at the two women and said to Huo Feng, "Now you finally understand. From the moment I sensed your presence, I was planning how to seduce and use you. You remember these two women; they were under my control when we first met."
Huo Feng replied flatly, "So what? I must stop you today."
Huo Feng summoned the Phantom Butterfly and immediately fused with it, transforming into the Golden Wyvern. At that moment, Huo Feng said to Bing, "Let's fight."
However, Bing showed no intention of fighting. He extended his claws, signaling Huo Feng to wait, and then walked over to the two women. He removed the veil from one of them, and Huo Feng was stunned; it was Mu Xue'er from Nottingham City. No wonder Huo Feng felt so familiar when he fought her before.
Bing said, "Don't be surprised yet; the real show is just beginning."
Bing then lifted the mask from the middle woman, Huo Lianqing. As soon as Huo Feng saw Huo Lianqing, he rushed forward and shouted, "Dad!"
"Hey! Wait, don't move. You still haven't grasped the situation. To be precise, he is now in my custody, so you better watch your words and actions," Bing said with a smile.
Huo Feng immediately halted, glaring at Bing with fury and gritting his teeth as he asked, "What do you want?"
Bing replied with a grin, "Of course, I want your life; otherwise, I'll take your father's life."
Huo Feng clenched his claws tightly, the sharp dragon nails digging deep into his flesh. However, he could only endure it for now. He had initially considered his feelings for Bing, but threatening his father crossed a line that angered Huo Feng deeply.
Huo Feng said slowly and firmly, "Fine, I agree to your terms, but you have to let me speak with my father first."
