As if sensing Princess Nightshade’s will to die, a black dragon warrior walked out from the rebel army surrounding her. The corners of his mouth curled into a cruel smile as he said, “Princess Nightshade, don’t hope to self-destruct. We’ve already set up multiple sealing arrays in this area. Even if you self-destruct and manage to destroy one or two layers, you won’t be able to break through the tenth one. Not to mention you, even the various guardians can’t break through.”
“Now, the dragon aura left behind by the Primordial Sacred Dragon will allow you to last for at most an incense stick of time. Think about it carefully.”
“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something.”
“Third Prince Long Ao has hated the Golden Wyvern Race for a long time. Before he left, he had already led the Black Dragon Army to the Golden Wyvern Race. If you don’t want the Golden Wyvern Race to be wiped out, hand over the Dragon Gate Key obediently!”
“Otherwise, the Third Prince’s saber will not be as easy to deal with as mine.”
“Despicable!”
“Black Robe, I didn’t expect that even you would betray the Dragon Emperor!”
Upon hearing this, Princess Nightshade’s eyes revealed dazzling flames.
Although she was from the True Dragon Race, her mother was still from the Golden Wyvern Race. After she became an adult, the Dragon Emperor also gave her the territory of the Golden Wyvern Race.
For countless years, she had long treated the Golden Wyvern Race as her home.
There were dragons, things, and many indescribable feelings and ties there that she was familiar with.
“Roar—”
As he spoke, a golden glow descended from the sky above Hidden Dragon Ridge. A ten-thousand-meter-long true dragon with a bronze body and silver light suddenly flew out from the passageway.
Its chant was loud and the dragon aura was vast. Wherever it passed, it was filled with silver treasure light.
After swimming in the air for half a circle, he lowered his head arrogantly and said to Nightshade with a smile, “Ninth Sister, you’re still so innocent. A wise man submits to circumstances. There is no such thing as being despicable?”
“Second Prince!”
All the dragon warriors looked at the silver dragon with respect.
The Dragon Emperor had nine sons and all of them were different.
The silver dragon in front of him was the second prince, Long Qing, who was good at the power of light.
Unlike Prince Long Ao, Long Qing’s talent, talent, and cultivation were all considered peak even among dragons. He had reached the limit of the King-grade a long time ago and was a strong competitor for the future Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Race.
It was precisely because of this that these descendants of the Black Dragon Race obeyed him. After all, if Crown Prince Long Qing ascended the throne in the future and became the new Dragon Emperor.
They were all subordinates of the Dragon Emperor. Their wealth and glory would definitely soar in a single step.
Thinking of this, all the dragons revealed eager gazes.
“Crown Prince, why are you here personally?”
The leader of the black dragon warriors also walked to the silver dragon enthusiastically and bowed respectfully.
“Yeah.”
Prince Long Qing glanced at him and then at the trapped Nightshade. He nodded with a smile and said, “Black Robe, you’re not bad. None of the Dragoons managed to catch Nightshade. Only you led the Black Dragon Tribe and successfully trapped Nightshade in the Hidden Dragon Ridge. If we succeed this time, regardless of who inherits the throne of the Dragon Emperor, you and the Black Dragon Race will be the first to succeed.”
Upon hearing this, the black-robed Dragoon revealed an overjoyed expression.
In the Dragon Race, all the ancestors of the bloodline valued him. However, his Black Dragon Race was suppressed in the clan because of his ancestor.
Even he, the new number one genius warrior of the Black Dragon Race, could not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the clan.
With his ambition and shrewdness, he naturally would not accept a mediocre life.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to betray the Dragon Emperor’s orders and intercept Princess Nightshade, who was about to escape from the Hidden Dragon Ridge’s teleportation array, and use multiple sealing arrays to trap her on the spot.
All of this was for him to become a dragon head in the future.
“Thank you, Second Prince. I’m willing to lead the Black Dragon Tribe to fully support the Crown Prince!” Black Robe’s eyes were filled with eagerness as he expressed his loyalty to Long Qing.
“Very good. Today’s decision will be your honor in the future. This is my promise.”
Long Qing raised his hand, and boundless dragon aura lifted his black robe. He turned his head and sized up Nightshade, who was continuously bombarded by colorful energy cannons.
The latter seemed to have sensed something. As she resisted the Primordial Dragon Cauldron with difficulty, she looked at Long Qing in despair and gritted her teeth. “Second Brother, are you really going to force me?”
Long Qing was expressionless as he replied calmly, “It’s not that I’m cold-blooded as a brother. The Dragon Emperor’s inheritance is the highest secret of my Dragon Race. How can a princess from the wyvern race like you be worthy of this supreme glory? Once you ascend to the throne of the Dragon Emperor, won’t you be mocked by all the powerful clans in the endless Underworld? That will be the greatest humiliation since my race was born!”
“Shame?”
A mocking smile appeared on Nightshade’s face. “Well said. You can make your selfishness sound so dignified. Second Brother, you’ve made me get to know you again.”
“You don’t have to mock me. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. This has been the case since ancient times. If I succeed, I will be the Dragon Emperor. Even if I kill you or even my dying father, who will dare to say anything about me?”
At this point, Long Qing couldn’t be bothered to pretend. A ferocious expression appeared on his arrogant face. “Long Kui, hand over the Dragon Gate Key. Although you will still be killed, I can promise to let Third Brother let the Golden Wyvern Race off. What do you think?”
“You! Can! Dream! On!” Princess Nightshade gritted her teeth.
She was a smart person. With Long Qing’s insidiousness and Long Ao’s hatred for evil, even if she really handed over the Dragon Gate Key, the final outcome would be death.
Therefore, rather than being controlled by others, it was better to endure until the end. It was better to die than to be dishonored.
“You’re about to die, but you still dare to be stubborn.”
Long Qing’s cold eyes turned even colder. His huge dragon claw flicked lightly, projecting a dazzling mirror.
Through the mirror, a golden world was reflected. Inside were golden mountains and endless plains.
In the scene, below the Golden Sacred Mountain in the distance, the fluctuations of the battle were abnormally intense. Under the smoke, the screams and sorrows of the dragon disciples came from time to time.
“The territory of the golden wyverns!”
Seeing this, Nightshade’s eyes widened.
She had grown up in the Golden Wyvern Race and knew the environment of that world like the back of her hand.
Through the mirror, one could vaguely see the golden forest, the sea of bamboo, the golden waterfall…
That beautiful world was destroyed by the terrifying energy.
One could imagine that the Golden Wyvern Race in the smoke would definitely suffer heavy casualties. At this rate, before she died, the Golden Wyvern Race would be wiped out.
“My good sister, if you don’t make a decision, Third Brother’s saber will probably remove the Golden Wyvern Race from my Dragon Race’s genealogy.”
Looking at Nightshade’s sad expression, Prince Long Qing was greatly satisfied and reminded her gloatingly.
“Long Qing, you’re shameless!” Princess Nightshade was in grief and indignation.
“Despicable or shameless, I only have one question. Are you going to hand it over or not?” Long Qing narrowed his eyes, and killing intent began to boil in his dragon eyes.
“You…”
Nightshade was about to curse when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. The next moment, her eyes widened as she looked at the dazzling mirror in disbelief.
