Staring at Xu Lanfeng's departing figure, Cheng Huiqing let out a soft sigh as he shook his head.

A few moments later, Cheng Huiqing disappeared, reappearing in a well-hidden corner of the Three Thousand Regions.

Right now, Chen Huiqing appeared at a certain table alongside three other figures, two male and one female.

As the three looked at Cheng Huiqing, who had just arrived with a large frown on his face, a deathly silence overwhelmed the room.

"I presume that we've been discovered," said Ao Xie as she took a sip of her tea.

"Xu Lanfeng took action and helped the Heavenly Dao," said Cheng Huiqing as he looked at his three companions.

Hearing Cheng Huiqing's face, one of the other figures, an old man, took in a deep breath.

"It seems they have decided to no longer try to restrict the Heavenly Dao as such, because of the situation at hand," said Tian Guozhi, the old man.

"So, since we are still alive after you came here, it looks like the Heavenly Dao really doesn't plan to kill us, it looks like they want some reinforcements," said Ao Xie as she leisurely tapped her fingers on the table.

Hearing Ao Xie's words, a brawny middle man, who was also sitting at the table couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Should we perhaps side with th-"

Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt two cold gazes land on him.

"Young man, we shouldn't play with fire, otherwise we might get burned, you have seen the damage caused by those invaders firsthand, you know very well what they are capable of and what they can do," said Tian Guozhi as he touched his beard, looking at the middle-aged man as he scolded him.

"I understand senior Guo," said the middle-aged man, when suddenly a golden palm suddenly struck towards him, hitting him in the chest.

Before the middle-aged man could do anything, a small hand suddenly appeared in front of him, as Ao Xie's hand, which right now had some scales visible on it, grabbed him by his neck.

A moment later, a dozen or so chains emerged from the ground, and Cheng Huiqing took action as well, fully restraining the middle-aged man.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

In only a few moments, the middle-aged man, Song Guiren, was fully incapacitated by the trio.

"As someone who cultivates the Dao of Devouring, I would have expected your infiltration skills to be somewhat better than this," said Ao Xie as she grabbed 'Song Guiren' by the hair and stared him straight in the eyes.

As 'Song Guiren' stared straight into Ao Xie's thin pupils, which radiated pure Dragon Might, a chill couldn't help but appear in his heart, causing Ao Xie to suddenly drop him to the ground.

"A real weakling was the one who replaced Song Guiren, what a pity," said Ao Xie as gave 'Song Guiren' a few kicks.

"Sister Ao, make sure not to kill him, I'm sure that the Heavenly Dao would appreciate us giving him to it very much," said Tian Guozhi as he looked at Ao Xie.

Hearing Tian Guozhi say the words 'Heavenly Dao' Ao Xie slightly gritted her teeth.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid," said Ao Xie as she stared at Tian Guozhi.

"As for you, don't worry, I will come and fight, but make sure to remember, unlike like you two turtles, I won't give up my revenge so easily," said Ao Xie before flying towards the sky.

A few moments later, Ao Xie disappeared, being replaced by a humongous dragon.

Staring at the three-legged dragon, which was arrogantly flying in the sky once again, Tian Guozhi couldn't help but let out a chuckle, when suddenly his expression turned slightly serious.

Looking at the invisible fifth toe, which was clearly smaller than the other four toes on the leg of the dragon, Tian Guozhi couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

At the same time, Cheng Huiqing also showed an extremely expression on his face.

"Senior Guo, do you remember little Ao's dragon form from long ago?" asked Cheng Huiqing with a solemn expression.

"I remember it quite clearly," mumbled Tian Guozhi, staring at the tiny, recently formed toe on the feet of the dragon.

Suddenly, without any warning and before Ao Xie could react, the fifth toe she had just recently obtained suddenly disappeared for an unknown reason.

...

At this moment, Hulli Jing, who was laying right next to Xu Yue slightly shivered, instantly hugging Xu Yue tightly as a feint dragon roar was heard in the distance.

A moment later, Xu Yue opened her eyes, as more and clarity appeared on her face.

"So that's how it is," mumbled Xu Yue as more and more images of her previous fate, which were previously shrouded by mist, suddenly revealed themselves to her.

At the same time, more and more confusion appeared on Xu Yue's face, as she suddenly discovered, an existing, but previously hidden karmic string.

But even so, for some reason, Xu Yue could not discover who the person that had this karmic thread with her was.

"Is it that dragon?" mumbled Xu Yue as she wondered why this karmic string had formed.

As she heard Xu Yue say the word 'Dragon', Hulli Jing once again gripped the latter's waist.

"What, did something happen?" asked Xu Yue as she looked at Hulli Jing, feeling quite worried about how the latter was acting at the moment.

"It's was nothing, I just had a weird feeling once I heard that dragon roar," said Hulli Jing as she once again hugged Xu Yue with a smile on her face.

"You need not worry Beauty, if that dragon dares show its face here, this Empress will cut it into pieces," said Xu Yue as she looked at Hulli Jing with an exaggerated expression on her face.

Hearing Xu Yue's words, Hulli Jing couldn't help but once again relax.

"Yea, I'm sure if that dragon tried to make trouble here, your ancestors would make it regret being born," said Hulli Jing, causing Xu Yue's expression to suddenly freeze.
