Dragon Tamer

As soon as everyone had left Eternal City, the city gates were immediately shut, and the Army Guards hiding among the civilians were the first to stand atop the city walls, forming a strict defensive line.

Zhu Minglang went through the motions, but he still had to guard against those loose organizations from the Tian Shu God Domain.

This army, resisting the invaders from the Tian Shu God Domain, had been deployed much earlier. Even though their troop from the Xuange Divine Country was the only Lower God Organization on this route, the entire city still needed to be on high alert.

“Will the Divine Oracle Flags we left in Eternal City be of use?” Zhu Minglang asked with some concern.

“That is an affiliated Divine Oracle Flag. With the Earthquake Flag standing in Eternal City, if any other forces harbor malicious intentions, then the Divine Oracle Flag will generate an earthquake force on the territory outside the city walls. Even if there are thousands of troops, they will be destroyed in an instant,” Mi Zhongyun explained.

Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.

He had previously considered whether to detain Mi Zhongyun, which would make his actions more convenient. After all, Mi Rong was also a representative of the Xuange God and a Star Observing Master, and she could likewise raise the flag of the Xuange God.

But Mi Zhongyun was indeed proficient in using those Divine Aids, especially the Divine Oracle Flag, which held great influence on the battlefield.

To drive out all the invaders, these specially effective Divine Oracle Flags would indeed become key.

“Of course, the earthquake Divine Oracle Flag cannot really drive away all strong enemies. What’s most important is that it bears the emblem of our Xuange Divine Country. When the Lower God Organizations see that we have occupied it first, they will have to think twice before directly tearing up their facade of neutrality with us, not to mention the loose organizations. Unless they belong to the Evil Sect, they generally would not want to offend us,” said the young God’s people, Qi Huan.

Indeed, the deterrent effect was the key, as it could disperse the rabble, preventing the worries of being targeted by thieves.

…

“It’s getting dark; we might as well find a city-state to stay in,” Mi Zhongyun suggested.

“It seems there are no Dark Wanderers around here,” Qi Huan observed.

“Once the Nothingness Fog disperses, the creatures of darkness from the Tian Shu God Domain will flood into Supreme Court like the tide, so we must not travel through the wilderness at night,” Mi Rong advised, shaking her head.

The Nothingness Fog dispersed close to dusk, whereas the entrance points of the Earth’s veins for other Lower God Organizations did not clear until night. They would have to wait until dawn the next day to officially take action.

But the creatures of the Night Governor from the Tian Shu God Domain would rapidly assimilate the entire Supreme Court.

It could be said that the first to occupy Supreme Court would most definitely not be any powerful Lower God Organization, but rather the following hordes of dark minions, which could spread across every corner of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent in a single night.

“Let’s go to the Ancestral Dragon City-State. It’s the central city of Li Chuan Continent,” Mi Zhongyun stated.

Having gathered a fair amount of information about Li Chuan, Mi Zhongyun knew that the Ancestral Dragon City-State was the hub of the whole Li Chuan and was also the focal point of their current expedition.

“Alright, let’s head there first, but it’s best we don’t disclose our identities for now. There are likely already spies from other Lower God Organizations infiltrated within the Ancestral Dragon City-State. If we can lure them out and deal with them first, it would be beneficial for us going forward, without the worry of being stabbed in the back,” Zhu Minglang concurred.

This was the advantage of choosing a good entrance point within the Earth’s veins.

Moreover, it cleared just before dusk, forcing other Lower God Organizations that wished to enter Li Chuan to wait until dawn the next day to make their move.

Although they couldn’t move about in the wilderness at night, they could enter the Ancestral Dragon City-State.

One could believe that the Ancestral Dragon City-State would be extraordinarily lively tonight!

What’s more, the arrival of the Time Wave seemed to coincide precisely with midnight tonight!

…

Upon entering the Ancestral Dragon City, a small group’s advantage is that even after entering the city, it is not easy to be detected by the spies of other forces.

“This Ancestral Dragon City-State is actually stationed with so many experts. Indeed, other Lower God Organizations have already infiltrated it. Good thing we haven’t been too high-profile,” Mi Zhongyun said to himself with a silent alarm.

The humble Ancestral Dragon City-State was, in fact, a den of dragons and tigers, and Mi Zhongyun probed with a magical artifact on his person, discovering that the Ancestral Dragon City-State was not only heavily guarded but also harbored many powers with high cultivation bases!

“Most likely the lackeys of the Ming God Clan,” Qi Huan remarked.

“There should also be other Lower God Organizations that have long made preparations in this city. The midnight Time Wave will sweep across the entire Supreme Court, and those on Li Chuan Continent will be the first to benefit. So, by the dawn of tomorrow, smoke from warfare will rise in all directions!” Mi Rong declared.

“It seems we have underestimated the overall cultivation base here, but fortunately, we are not weak at the moment and still have Divine Oracle Flags in our possession. Just as Brother Zhu suggested, we will watch and wait, with no actions to take tonight,” Mi Zhongyun nodded.

“Tonight will mostly likely not be peaceful, with not only unrest within the city but also a large number of creatures of the night. It remains to be seen whether the city’s guards can withstand the dark tide,” he added.

“Without the protection of a god and a lack of understanding of the rules of darkness, let them first experience a night under the Tian Shu God Domain, to understand the horrors of darkness. Then they will be willing to heed our discipline!”

…

Zhu Minglang had Pang Kai stay in the courtyard to watch Mi Zhongyun and the others, to prevent the man from causing trouble.

He then headed to Li Yunzi’s separate residence.

About the rules of the night, Zhu Minglang had informed Zheng Yu early on, and he believed Zheng Yu had also had the Army Guards prepare various defenses. However, every transition from day to night was a terrifying war, and even a city as strong as Ancestral Dragon City-State could not withstand such torment, let alone the cities scattered across the Li Chuan Continent.

Even if the people were concentrated within some of the larger-walled city-states, it was only temporary.

The populace needed farmland and forestland, and the ultimate result of emergency refuge was that many people would starve to death.

In these days, Zhu Minglang kept prying information from Mi Zhongyun, trying to understand how to deter the darkness, but to no avail.

Whether they were Divine Chosen, God’s Descendants, or God’s people, on one hand, they relied on their own aura to suppress the arrival of Dark Creatures, and on the other hand, they actually needed something like the Qingdeng Ancient Tower of Sparrow Wolf Divine City, the Bone Steles of Bone Temple, and the God Walls of Divine City to fend off the darkness.

Moreover, Ancestral Dragon City-State was also not small in size, and the Dark Creatures tended to band together. When they sensed that the Divine Chosen and God’s Descendants within the city were not as powerful as they had imagined, they would still invade, after all, a few Divine Chosen and a few God’s Descendants could not protect hundreds of thousands of people.

Upon arriving at the other courtyard,

Zhu Minglang saw a woman dressed in a violet silk dress. After some careful thought, Zhu Minglang refrained from any physical advances.

Indeed, it was Nan Lingsha.

Nearly a Blood Splatter Ten Steps situation!

After a long period of cohabitation, Zhu Minglang was now certain that Nan Lingsha and Li Yunzi didn’t see eye to eye.

So the fact that Nan Lingsha was in Li Yunzi’s other courtyard meant that she was either there to settle a score with her, or the person in the courtyard was Miss Xinghua.

As expected!

The one inside the other courtyard was Miss Xinghua.

Zhu Minglang inwardly applauded himself wildly for his own strictness and rationale.

Thinking that every night when he came home, to see his wife waiting for him, and that he would need to go through such careful observation and tightly-sealed reasoning in his mind in such a short time, to prevent himself from calling their names wrong, he suddenly felt that the rest of his life wouldn’t be boring.

“Night has already fallen, apart from those dividers, the most terrifying are the creatures governed by the Night Governor. They’re far more powerful than any divine country’s army, and there’s also the Yama Dragon which can practically annihilate a continent by itself. Therefore, our top priority is to find a way to protect the city-state,” Zhu Minglang sat down and earnestly analyzed the current situation with his two sisters-in-law.

While they were discussing, Frost hurried over.

She handed over a military letter.

It was sent by Zheng Yu, who should currently be diligently defending against the tide of darkness.

“Just as dusk set in, we noticed those creatures of the night. However, they seemed to be hovering outside the city, not daring to approach.”

“After the night turned completely dark, we observed even more powerful Dark Creatures, but they seemed to be wary of something and eventually took a detour.”

“To understand the reason behind this, I ordered someone to capture a minor Night Demon. When we brought it towards the city, it seemed to have a profound fear of our city-state’s State Wall. Before we could even bring it within the city-state, its body seemed to evaporate due to some force.”

The letter very directly described the behavior of the Dark Creatures from dusk until now.

Yet, these words filled Zhu Minglang, Li Xinghua, and Nan Lingsha with confusion.

The Dark Creatures were bypassing Ancestral Dragon City-State??

And it seemed that Zheng Yu had conducted a very clever little experiment, concluding that the darkness feared the walls of Ancestral Dragon City-State, which even vanished upon nearing them!

“Our city wall…” Zhu Minglang began but hesitated.

“My great grandmother said that the city-state’s wall is a gigantic ancient Dragon Bone, and it protects the people of Ancestral Dragon City-State from generation to generation,” Li Xinghua recited thoughtfully, taking the statement seriously.

Could it be that this so-called protection was not merely about forming tall walls as primitive military defense, but about being able to withstand the darkness!!

Having lived in the Tianshu God Domain for a while, Zhu Minglang was now very clear about one thing: darkness was the most terrifying thing.

The gods were revered for their greatness, and the organizations under them were admired by the world, precisely because every creature in the Tianshu God Domain feared the darkness and was fundamentally unable to contend with it.

No matter how powerful an individual or how strong an army, if they lacked the blessing of the gods’ light, they would be consumed by darkness!!

Therefore, possessing a city-state that could resist darkness was like acquiring a land blessed by the gods themselves!

Thinking about the inn prices in Sparrow Wolf God City, those exorbitant property prices, and the unquestioning sense of superiority enjoyed by those who were God’s people and God’s Descendants!!

Ancestral Dragon City-State, unafraid of darkness!

“If this is true, Ancestral Dragon City-State is equivalent to a Divine City!” Zhu Minglang said, almost in disbelief.
