Shock as well as confusion filled the 5 experts' eyes, while one of them couldn't help mumbling in a voice filled with disbelief
''A.. dragon...??''
Little Black had also noticed the 5 late-stage Dao Kings at the entrance of the core region of the 'Dragon Lord's villa', but he didn't seem to care too much about them, as he continued flying forward towards the building's entrance.
Seeing that the 2 black-robed people who were sitting on top of the dragon's back didn't seem to have any intention to stop, the strongest out of the 5 Dao Kings who was at the middle of rank 8 in the Dao King realm took a step forward before he shouted in a loud voice
''Stop right there!
We are Elders of the Shengtian dynasty! If you want to enter inside the villa, you need to identify yourselves first!''
Although the 5 Dao Kings could clearly sense the terrifying aura coming from the black dragon, and at the same time, they had more than 'just a little' apprehension towards the black-robed Shun Long whose aura they were completely unable to sense, they still had to verify his and Liu Mei's identities before they allowed them to step inside the villa.
Although the 'Dragon Lord's villa' didn't belong to the Shengtian dynasty, since their old king had ordered them to stand guard here and prevent any members of the dark elf race from entering inside, the 5 Dao Kings wouldn't let Shun Long and Liu Mei enter before they verified where the 2 of them actually came from.
Of course, the 5 Dao Kings were clearly aware, that Shun Long and Liu Mei weren't from the dark elf race, but this was the first time that they were seeing a living dragon!
And that dragon was 'only' at the middle of rank 6! This wasn't a chance that they could simply ignore!
Turning his head to look at the people around him, the old man who was at the middle of rank 8 in the Dao King realm said in a suppressed voice
''Unless the power behind them is a behemoth that is even stronger than our Shengtian dynasty... you know what to do!''
The 4 Dao Kings around the old man all nodded their heads at the same time, as they looked at the black dragon simultaneously, certain that the person on its back would have it stop in front of them now that they had declared their identities as Elders of the powerful dynasty.
After all, there were only a handful of powers who could be considered to be at the same level as their Shengtian dynasty in the entirety of the 'Night star continent'!
Additionally, none of these powers were even rumored to have seen a dragon, let alone to have tamed one, which made the 2 black-robed people's origins even more dubious!
It was very likely that the 2 people on the black dragon's back weren't actually from their 'Night star continent'.
However, this by itself wasn't enough to make the 5 Dao Kings to shy away.
Unless these people were from a power that was as strong as the 'Demon Emperor palace' or the terrifying 'Holy sect', their Shengtian dynasty would definitely dare to fight against them if they could obtain a powerful dragon!
A real, living dragon's existence was reason enough to even start a war between 2 continents, let alone 2 powerful forces!
Of course, the 5 Dao Kings had also taken battle positions at the same time. They couldn't neglect the fact, that the black-robed person whose aura was completely retracted, could very likely be a peak expert at the same level as their old king, Sheng Jun.
Otherwise, it was impossible to explain how he was able to ride on top of the dragon's back!
The moment that he appeared in the air right above the 5 Dao Kings, Little Black had a scornful look in his eyes as he gazed down at them, almost as if he was looking at a bunch of ants beneath his feet.
Opening his mouth, the black dragon didn't have the slightest hints of mercy in his blue eyes, as he sent out a terrifying ball of black flames towards the 5 Dao Kings.
The old Dao King who was at the middle of rank 8 instantly paled the moment that he felt the power behind the black fireball, as he hurriedly shouted
''RUN!!''
Without waiting for a response from the people around him, he was the first one to try and escape as far as he could before the black fireball approached his body.
The 4 Dao Kings around him didn't delay either, as they all split themselves, trying to escape as far as possible from the incoming black fireball.
Although the black dragon in front of them was just at the middle of rank 6, they could feel the lethality inside this fireball that could even threaten peak rank 9 Dao Kings!
BOOOM!
The entrance in front of the half-opened gates instantly burst in black flames, while 2 unlucky Dao Kings of the Shengtian dynasty actually weren't fast enough to avoid Little Black's attack.
Under the old man's horrified eyes, the powerful late-stage Dao Kings from his group didn't even have a chance to scream, as their bodies instantly turned into charred corpses.
2 late-stage Dao Kings had instantly died just like that!
It wasn't just the old man however, even Shun Long was shocked by Little Black's power!
Without waiting for a response however, Shun Long barely threw a glance at the 3 late-stage Dao Kings who had managed to escape in time, before he turned his eyes towards the half-opened doors in front of him, as Little Black flew inside them.
Even though these people had managed to conceal their greed over the black dragon's body well, how could Shun Long not guess their intentions?!
Besides, claiming that he had to show his identity before entering would place him in an even worse position later on.
It was very likely that the entire 'Night star continent', and perhaps even the 'Demon Emperor palace' would try to look for him in order to get information about Little Black!
The old Dao King at the middle of rank 8, watched the 2 black-robed people on Little Black's back entering inside the villa's core region, with a look of hate as well as fear in his eyes.
After taking a moment to calm himself down, he turned to look at the 2 remaining Dao Kings around him who still hadn't gotten over their shock, and gritted his teeth before he said angrily
''Inform our king about this!''
