Chapter 357: Chapter 233: The Fate of the Split Dragon Egg
Translator: 549690339
Li Domain, Li City, Elemental Gate.
Yu He stood in the courtyard with a sullen face, his chest heaving up and down, apparently trying hard to suppress his emotions.
“Slap!!!!!!!!!”
With a sweep of his arm, Yu He fiercely knocked all the teacups off the stone table beside him. The valuable tea set shattered all over the ground.
“You traitorous bunch, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!” Yu He’s eyes were filled with venomous hatred.
At this moment, only Yu He was in the courtyard. The emotions he had been hiding before were now fully exposed.
“If something happens to me this time, you guys better not think you can hide in the shadows!” Yu He gritted his teeth.
As Yu He vented his anger, a youth dressed in striped long robes slowly entered the courtyard.
The youth glanced at the broken teacups on the ground and smiled, “Why so angry? You should have known what kind of person he is when you agreed to cooperate with him.”
“Hmph, if it weren’t for the benefits he promised me…” Yu He sat back down on the stone chair, suppressing his anger slightly, and looked at the youth, “People from your Soul Covenant rarely come to the Zhanli Realm. How come you’ve been coming here quite frequently in recent years?”
“Hehe, why bother asking when you already know the answer?” The youth laughed and sat down next to Yu He.
Yu He quickly calmed down and asked with a somewhat interested tone, “Did that soul pet that shook the entire soul pet world really escape?”
“It did escape, but it’s not a big deal. Our lord wouldn’t be able to control that Azure Sky Hidden Dragon anyway,” the youth laughed.
“Nobody can control it, but you guys still managed to cause a lot of trouble with it for quite some time. In my opinion, you probably can’t restrain it anymore and don’t want to admit you can’t control it. So you pretended to let it escape and sent a few people to pursue it, just to put on a show…” Yu He said.
The youth didn’t care about Yu He’s taunts and played with a beautiful ring in his hand.
“Lu Ying, we’ve known each other for so long. Is there anything you can’t tell me? Are the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s split insect eggs really in Henghai? If they are, why can’t so many people find them?” Yu He inquired.
“The traces of God’s Innards have been found. They’re on an island called Prison Island, which is under the jurisdiction of the Nightmare Demon Palace. The Zhe Dragon eggs should also be split somewhere nearby…” said the youth called Lu Ying.
“Prison Island? Seems like I’ve heard of it. How come it took you guys so long to discover the traces of God’s Innards? It must have been more than a year.” Yu He asked.
“Do you think Henghai is a nice place? The Henghai controlled by the Nightmare Demon Palace is only about one-tenth of the whole Henghai. Haven’t you heard of the legends of Henghai?” Lu Ying’s tone became more serious.
“The legends of Henghai? I’ve heard some. They say a very powerful and mysterious soul pet lives in the Henghai, and no one has ever seen its true face. Almost no one in the entire soul pet world can provoke it…” Yu He’s eyes shifted, seemingly connecting the legends of the Henghai with the matter of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.
“You mean the insect eggs split by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon may have fallen into the hands of this mysterious soul pet?” Yu He made this conjecture.
Lu Ying nodded but then shook his head, seemingly hesitating whether he should reveal this information.
Yu He sensed that Lu Ying had some important news and decisively removed the space ring from his finger, gently pushing it toward Lu Ying, “We’ve been brothers for so long, there’s no harm in telling me. I’m just curious. There isn’t much in this ring, but it’s enough for you to strengthen your soul pet without any problems…”
Lu Ying smiled and discreetly took the ring. He used his soul sense to communicate with Yu He, “Because of the interference from the mysterious soul pet in Henghai and the Nightmare Demon Palace, it took us a long time to find the remnants of God’s Innards.”
“According to Lord Sky Listener, there are three possibilities for the split Azure Sky Hidden Dragon eggs.
“The first possibility is that they were taken by the mysterious soul pet in Henghai.”
“The second possibility is that they were hidden by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon somewhere in Henghai that we still haven’t found.”
“The third possibility…” Lu Ying hesitated for a moment before continuing.
It was evident that Yu He was eager to know, as he stared intently at Lu Ying.
The insect eggs split by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon are the dream pursuit of countless soul pet trainers. The Soul Covenant’s position in the soul pet world is determined through obtaining these rare, powerful dragon eggs and firmly controlling them.
They say that the Zhe Dragon egg split by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon is a Monarch-level Qingzhe Dragon, whose combat power is almost invincible among Monarch Levels. It is even more terrifying than the White Nightmare Demon of the Nightmare Demon Palace. A young soul pet trainer once obtained an insect egg unintentionally left by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. With the help of this Qingzhe Dragon, he became one of the top powerhouses in the entire soul pet world’s young generation. Even beyond the young generation, his fame spread far and wide in the soul pet field.
With just one soul pet, a soul pet trainer could change his entire life. Yu He held some status in the Elemental Gate, but his strength was nothing to be proud of in the vast soul pet field. If he could obtain the insect egg split by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, his status would surely skyrocket. He would have enough confidence even in the highly competitive World Decree.
“What’s the third possibility? Tell me quickly!” Yu He became somewhat anxious.
Seeing Yu He so anxious, Lu Ying couldn’t help but laugh, whispering, “The God’s Innards were on the Nightmare Palace Prison Island. At that time, there were three thousand prisoners on the island who all died, and only one person survived. This person is the Prison Island King of Nightmare Demon Palace…”
“I get it now!!” Yu He was a smart man, and as soon as Lu Ying said this, he immediately began to understand the possibilities. His face turned pale with shock!
“Hehe…”
“Do you guys already know the identity of the whole man?” Yu He asked tentatively.
Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s split dragon egg!!!
Such a huge temptation. Yu He clenched his teeth secretly in his heart, and even if there was only a 30% chance, he would do everything to find the Prison Island King of Nightmare Demon Palace. The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s split dragon egg was very likely to be in his hands.
“It’s a pity, if we had known this half a year earlier, we could have captured him directly. Half a year ago, the Prison Island King was still wandering around the Western World. But half a year later, there’s no news about him, and nobody knew where he is.” Lu Ying spoke.
Yu He’s eyes began to turn again, and he asked in a very low voice, “How many people know about this?”
“Not many. My father, Lord Sky Listener, one man from Nightmare Demon Palace, me and you. It was very hard for me to learn this from my father. You should know how important this is. I’m only telling you because we grew up together. Just be curious and know it, but don’t tell anyone else…” Lu Ying said.
“Of course, how could you not trust me on this?” Yu He laughed.
“I should get going, too. My father wouldn’t like me staying here with you guys for too long.” Lu Ying said.
“Let me see you off, oh, I almost forgot to ask, what is the purpose of your Soul Covenant coming to our Li City?” Yu He asked with a smile.
“It’s also related to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon matter. You’ll know soon enough, hehe. In my opinion, you’d better not think too much about it. Just solve your own problems first. I heard you got some big trouble.” After saying this, Lu Ying turned around and left.
“It’s related to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon matter?” Yu He looked confused and began to wonder…
The Land’s end was like a massive handprint stretching across two regions and reaching the westernmost part of the Li Domain.
In the westernmost part of the Li Domain, there was a relatively sparse forest. Many soul pets could be found in the forest, but it was almost impossible to find Warrior-level soul pets here.
The sun was shining, and the refreshing breeze swept across the dappled shadows of the trees…
Under the trees, an older Soul Pet Master was leading three thirteen- or fourteen-year-old youngsters as they slowly walked along.
“Soul pets are spiritual. When you try to capture them, communicate with them. If you find that you can understand their emotions, you have already succeeded in half of the soul contract. Today is your first time facing a real soul pet. It is best not to mess with soul pets of rank 5 or higher. With your weak Soul Power, it’s impossible to capture them.” The older Soul Pet Master told the three youngsters to follow closely behind him.
The three young men obediently followed the elder Soul Pet Master’s words, staying close to him, their eyes full of curiosity and tension. Although they were a bit afraid, their eyes couldn’t conceal the excitement of having their first Soul Pet.
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!”
Suddenly, a cold wind carrying the scent of blood rushed towards them, making the three youngsters shiver.
The elder Soul Pet Master’s face changed slightly, not expecting to encounter a rank four Bloodthirsty Beast here!
The Bloodthirsty Beast had a notorious reputation. It was extremely fierce, and the elder Soul Pet Master was just a low-level Soul Pet Master. He might not be able to handle it completely.
“Retreat, everyone retreat…” The older Soul Pet Master quickly recited a spell and told the three youngsters, who were already shaking in fear, to back away.
With a solemn expression, the older Soul Pet Master stared at the Bloodthirsty Beast, his heart pounding as he racked his brains for a solution.
However, just as he was about to have the children escape first while he dealt with the rank four Bloodthirsty Beast, the Bloodthirsty Beast suddenly let out a terrified cry and fled in another direction.
The Bloodthirsty Beast had escaped?
The elder Soul Pet Master was stunned, and only then did he find an eerie man walking slowly out of the depths of the forest. He had not summoned any soul pets, but the mysterious and demonic aura he emitted was enough to make one shudder…
