"You have trespassed into the forbidden area of my Dragon City. What is your intention?!" Zhang Mingyi said in a deep voice.
The Azure Robed Man smiled slightly and pointed at Wang Long, saying, "Did he not also intrude into the forbidden area of my Serpent Demon Clan? This is a case of reciprocity; what is wrong with that?"
"Indeed, I have intruded into your Serpent Demon Clan's forbidden area, and it was I who accidentally released you. Since I caused this trouble, let me bear the consequences. I will do everything in my power to stop you," Wang Long declared resolutely.
The Azure Robed Man glanced at him and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha, with just you? Even if there were a thousand or a hundred of you, could you possibly stop me?!"
After the laughter subsided, he turned around and stared at a stone door in front of him, deep in thought, seemingly disregarding Wang Long and Zhang Mingyi entirely.
"Strange... this solitary stone door, could it be the gateway to the very center of Dragon Mound? But how can it be broken?"
Wang Long looked at the stone door, which indeed stood alone without any surrounding walls. Yet the Azure Robed Man was blocked by this door and could not advance further.
"The gateway to my Dragon's Tomb is not something someone like you can pry into!" Wang Long couldn't help but mock.
Surprisingly, the Azure Robed Man did not refute him; instead, he nodded and sighed lightly, saying, "The foundation of Dragon City is indeed still here. The mechanisms and formations contained within this door are not beneath my understanding. To construct such a door, it seems that the current Third Generation Dragon Head is quite a character; I admire him."
"The Contemporary Dragon Head is unfathomable. More importantly, he possesses great wisdom and benevolence; how could someone like you compare?" Zhang Mingyi said sternly, his tone filled with anger.
The Azure Robed Man turned around with a bitter smile and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Why are you so agitated? I am an Ancient Being; in terms of seniority, I am far above you. Even if the Contemporary Dragon Head were here, he would merely be my junior. The fact that I can say this much is already praise for him..."
"Oh, then thank you for the praise..."
Suddenly, a voice seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens. It was calm yet assertive, carrying an air of composure and grandeur that suggested an understanding of everything.
It was none other than the Lord of Dragon City himself, the Contemporary Dragon Head who had personally arrived.
He lightly waved his hand, dispersing the thick, mist-like Dragon Qi in the sky, and suddenly light broke through. Wang Long looked up at the sky and saw the Dragon Head accompanied by Jiang Xue hurrying over.
"You are the current Lord of Dragon City, the Third Generation Dragon Head, aren't you?!" The Azure Robed Man, seeing his display of power, did not dare to underestimate him and asked in a deep voice.
The Dragon Head gently set Jiang Xue down and cupped his hands, saying, "Indeed, may I ask who you are, senior..."
Wang Long glanced at Jiang Xue, who smiled lightly and pointed at the Dragon Head.
The Azure Robed Man stood with his hands behind his back, facing the four of them, and laughed casually, "Ah, as for my name, it seems I haven't mentioned it in over a thousand years. I wonder if anyone still remembers... Have you ever heard of someone named Changxi?"
"Changxi? Could it be... the disciple of the First Generation Dragon Head, the half-human half-snake Elder Changxi?!" The Dragon Head exclaimed in surprise.
The Azure Robed Man was also taken aback for a moment and sighed, "Elder? Do you still consider me an elder in your history?"
The Dragon Head nodded and said, "That's right. However, there isn't much written about the so-called Elder Changxi in history; it's just that because he has a human head and a snake body, he is occasionally mentioned."
"Indeed, that's only natural... I have long since parted ways with my master and returned to the Serpent Clan; naturally, I wouldn't be mentioned much by you..." The Azure Robed Man sighed deeply.
The Dragon Head furrowed his brow and asked, "Are you saying that you are he?"
Changxi stood with his hands behind his back and smiled lightly, "Indeed, I am Changxi."
The Dragon Head sighed heavily: "Actually, ever since the news brought by Dragon Hidden surfaced, I had my suspicions. However, seeing such an ancient figure in person—especially one who is still alive—still makes it hard for me to believe."
"Oh yes... I was quite incredulous when I awoke as well. Speaking of which, I must thank your son; if it weren't for him, I wouldn't know how many more years I would have remained asleep."
The Dragon Head's expression darkened upon hearing the mention of Wang Long, and he said in a low voice, "So, what exactly do you want? What is your purpose for coming into the forbidden area of my Dragon City?"
Changxi glanced at the Dragon Head and asked with interest, "So... what exactly is in your forbidden area?"
The Dragon Head's face changed, and he said solemnly, "Are you trying to take that item?! Why, after sleeping for so many years, have you chosen to do these things upon waking up?!"
Changxi laughed heartily and replied, "You haven't slept for thousands of years, how would you know my feelings? Who ever said that someone like me would be devoid of desires?"
"Oh, and you should know that I want more than just that item... I also want the Six Volumes of Heavenly Scriptures that your human race has inherited!" Changxi said lightly while looking at the Dragon Head as if casually mentioning it.
The Dragon Head's expression darkened further, and he waved his right hand, saying, "Please."
Changxi stood firm as well and chuckled, "It seems we really have to fight? Very well, let me see what realm the descendant of the First Generation Dragon Head has reached!"
Zhang Mingyi's expression changed when he saw the two about to engage in battle. He hurriedly said, "Wang Long, Jiang Xue! Hurry and leave this place! The impact of their battle is too great and could easily cause collateral damage!"
Wang Long was eager to witness the duel between these two extraordinary masters but also understood that Zhang Mingyi was correct. Staying here would not help at all; it would only disturb the Dragon Head's focus.
"You three have done well enough. Go now, head towards the east gate; that's where the fighting is most intense..." The Dragon Head suddenly instructed.
Zhang Mingyi immediately responded, "Yes!"
He then pulled Wang Long and Jiang Xue towards the interior of Dragon City.
Wang Long looked back and saw that the Dragon Head and Changxi were still in confrontation. The surrounding Dragon Qi, which had been solidified like a substance, suddenly transformed into towering waves, wildly rolling and crashing back and forth between the two.
As the three of them walked halfway, they suddenly heard a loud explosion from the Dragon Mound Center, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. The entire Dragon Soul within the Dragon Mound let out a mournful cry, as if frightened like startled birds.
This surge of battle intent and killing aura was comparable to the chaos of tens of thousands of people in the entire Dragon City, spreading throughout the Dragon Mound and chilling one's heart.
"How impressive! This kind of momentum can make all the dragons in the Dragon Mound wail. What realm is this!" Zhang Mingyi turned back to take a look, exclaiming in astonishment.
However, they were now close to Dragon City and had no time for admiration. The entire city was engulfed in flames of war, with a cacophony of voices and cries for blood echoing under the Heavenly Shield, deafening to the ears.
"To the East Gate!"
Zhang Mingyi shouted loudly, and the three immediately quickened their pace towards the eastern direction of the city.
As they passed by the Dragon Burial Shrine, Wang Long suddenly felt a stir in his heart, wondering if Wang Yuanxian was also involved in the battle. With his level of skill, if he truly intervened, he would be a significant asset to Dragon City.
He couldn't help but think about how many hidden powers there were within Dragon City. Were there others like Wang Yuanxian still in existence?
However, he soon could think no more. The East Gate had been thrown wide open, and thousands of Death Warriors had surged out, crossing over the protective Thunder Pool and completely dismantling the drawbridge, placing themselves in a situation where death was certain!
