The Chaos Dragon Prince



That sudden leave caused a suffocating silence to permeate through the imperial families. Many had their divine minds swirling like a chaotic storm. 

But the rainbow grandmaster cared little about the storm surging through everyone's minds. He appeared slightly more indifferent as she plainly said with a faint smile, "Alright. With that done with, we can continue on normally. Still, the Tuo family do have the right to enter in first among all others." 

Such a thing would've been worthy of immense praise before. Emperor Grandmaster geniuses are only natural to be above all other cultivators. 

But the excitement just wasn't there. Even as they were gone, neither Tuo Li nor Pi can get Cain's group out of their minds. 

... 

Minute swiftly passed. 

In only a short amount of time, the selection process for the pre-longevity feast was done. 

Admittedly, without the terrifying trio suppressing everything in their path, the mood for nearly all other geniuses became tremendously higher. 

Even with the trio, they all will still exchange pointers with each other and participate in the secret realm event. The competitive spirit of geniuses began to rise to unfathomable degrees in this sort of atmosphere.

The imperial family geniuses were in a special chamber meant to hold the more special guests of Monarch Celestial Flame. 

The entire atmosphere here was warm from Dao runes. But one can feel the sharp edge for battle because of the eager youths. 

The only ones with more somber attitudes were Fang Chie and Fang Wu. 

And the two highest geniuses among everyone in the chamber, Tuo Li and Pi. 

The Tuo duo mainly stayed in their own corner. They exchanged only brief, short greetings with other King Grandmaster geniuses. 

But other than that, they didn't bother with others nor were the other geniuses willing to disturb their somber moods. 

All geniuses except for one. A King Grandmaster, wearing a beautiful smile to soothe the nerves pushed through the crowd. 

His face was averagely handsome and his Dao sovereign aura didn't stand out that much from other King Grandmasters. 

And yet, he walked with this unbreakable confidence. Every step of his was calm and calculated as if everything was already planned out before him. 

This King Grandmaster came close to the Tuo duo. He did not care for their somber moods and lightly waved at them, "Hello. You unfathomable geniuses do not know me, but I am Jie Lan. It's nice to meet such young Emperor Grandmasters." 

"Hm?" Tuo Li and Pi barely gave Jie Lan a passing glance of interest. 

Tuo Li merely snorted, saying, "Yes, it is nice." 

Her words were short and her tone was a bit cold. It would be expected for the conversation to end there. 

However, Jie Lan continued to speak. "Do you mind if I asked for some Dao advice from fellow martial siblings? I am very intrigued to know more." 

But at the same time, Jie Lan forcefully sent a mental transmission to the Tuo duo at the cost of some of his soul energy. 'I see that you two, despite your great Divine Wills and Martial Hearts, simply cannot get over that humiliation. Cain, Kali, and Luo aren't actually all that mysterious as you may think. They are quite infamous with my group. In fact, many outright hate the three of them.'

That finally startled the Tuo duo completely out of their somber mods. They sharply gazed at Jie Lan, their overlapping momentum creating a suppressive force. 

But none of that could even make Jie Lan twitch his lips. 

It really was true. The humiliation of Cain and Kali repeatedly played through their minds, haunting them like a dreadful nightmare they will never be able to forget.

Luo Na was lower on hatred for them. But even still, the fact that she's at a higher talent and is close to the dragon duo still caused them to intensely dislike her. 

To gain revenge sounds immensely enticing. But the Tuo duo naturally held their suspicions. 

The Tuo duo waved their hands, rippling out a wave of Dao principles that'll cause others to be more likely to ignore them. 

Tuo Li slowly said back, 'Your group? I'm assuming you're not referring to the Jie family, correct? Otherwise, your family shouldn't be so extreme. Or, is it the case that their acting can escape their senses of the esteemed envoys?'

Jie Lan causally laughed. He was completely serene when saying, 'You're right about that. Nobody in the Jie family knows about my group. And my group is far more terrifying than the mere Jie family. They're far more terrifying than anything within the Outridge, Inner Ridge, and can match forces even in the Soul Core Region!' 

'You...' Tuo Li and Pi blinked in disblief. 

They nearly wanted to smack Jie Lan to the nearest curb for uttering such a ridiculous statement. 

But their hatred for Cain's group stopped them. They were about to ask for some proof if he can even take out anything at all. 

However, Jie Lan moved faster than them. One of his hands quickly surged a mysterious Dao rune. 

An invisible ripple of Dao essence engulfed the small group, completely shielding them from anyone's divine mind. Not a single person will be able to detect what happens within this area. 

Then, at the same time, Jie Lan took out an exotic-looking badge. The design of the badge wasn't anything the Tuo duo had witnessed before. It truly looked alien to them. 

As their eyes curiously studied the badge, a change suddenly occurred. 

Gleaming Dao lights rippled from the badge. An otherworldy sensation filled the small little area. 

Not a single other person within the imperial chamber felt it. 

But Tuo Li and Pi completely froze. Their divine minds were far too inferior to understand it. Their souls frantically pulsated under this imminent sensation of death. 

Nothing could compare to this badge. No Grandmaster, extreme geniuses, half-step Heavenly Venerats and possibly many other Heavenly Venerates! Tuo Li and Pi were left trembling to their knees. 

Neither of them could even speak. 

But only a moment later, Jie Lan took away the unfathomable badge, allowing everything to return to serenity. 

His smile was ever-present calm. 'So? Are you willing to listen now?' 

Tuo Li and Pi wordlessly stared into Jie Lan's perfectly confident face. A face that was starting to resemble a sweet deal. With the right words, they simply knew. Their entire worlds may change forever. Their emotions were in a chaotic state. 

But the Tuo duo knew their desires. They said simultaneously, 'We are willing to listen...'

...

The flight through the imperial palace was extremely swift. The peak grandmasters used several transmission arrays. 

In only seconds, they ended up in a luxurious chamber, decorated in gleaming fiery Dao runes. 

The heat was great here, but not to a point where it would boil divine cultivators alive. 

For the first time, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na experienced a comforting warmth from Dao runes. The beauty of the sun was snuggling wrapping around their bodies, allowing their minds to relax. It was no less as soothing as the Fang family water Dao runes. 

At this time, Cain was practically dragged away by Yuo Shie. Stars were glistening within this eager young girl's eyes. 

Her tone couldn't be more excited as she talked away. "Just how? Just how did you become so unfathomable? I've seen so many geniuses on my grandfather's side. But they all just seemed so...run of the mill? But you all...never seen anything before like this in my young life."
