Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 923 - 41: Dragon Blood Boiling (Part 2)

Xie Yu led Yue Jinghua to a side room that had partially collapsed.

Lie Rou and Hongling, along with others, were all gathered there, while Feng Buhui and others led the Duke Mansion house guards in rescuing those trapped under the ruins.

"Jinghua," Lie Rou, after experiencing such upheaval, still had a trace of panic in her expression.

She calmed down upon seeing her daughter Yue Jinghua.

"Mother, don’t panic. How is my sister-in-law?" Yue Jinghua searched the room and found Long Rui barely alive, lying on the ground, still wearing her wedding dress.

Her once beautiful and charming face was full of various scars, and not a single bone in her body was intact; they were all shattered by Yue Potian’s Dragon Power.

"What exactly happened? Xie Yu, I told you to watch them, how could this..." Yue Jinghua’s anger caught in her chest.

She quickly took out Green Liquid and dropped a drip into Long Rui’s mouth.

Under the effect of the Green Liquid, Long Rui’s external wounds healed quickly, but her shattered bones could not be regrown overnight.

Long Rui faintly awoke, and upon seeing Yue Jinghua, she strained herself, "Minzhi, I must find Minzhi. They want to take him away like they took Duke Xue Ying back then, I..."

Lie Rou, surrounding Long Rui, trembled upon hearing her words, exclaiming, "What are you saying? Ruru, what are you talking about? You said Yue Nian, Yue Nian he... where is he?"

"Mother, Duke Xue Ying didn’t disappear, he’s at the Moon Plane, forcibly taken back there. The Sun Dragon Clan doesn’t want their bloodline tainted, so they want to take Minzhi away. Minzhi used the Candle Dragon Technique to save me, forcibly raised his cultivation, and broke through the Dan Realm. He’s in danger; rescue him," Long Rui finished and fainted again.

Upon hearing, Lie Rou stood up to dash out but was held back by Lie Changgong.

"Father, did you hear? They said Yue Nian is still there, it’s them who took him away; now they’re trying to take Minzhi too. I’ve already lost my husband; I cannot let Ruru lose hers. They blame me for tainting the Holy Beast lineage, then let it be just me. I cannot let Minzhi be harmed again," Lie Rou lost control, not expecting to suddenly hear news of Yue Nian.

"Rourou, don’t be impulsive. The Holy Beast Clan is immensely powerful; even if we sacrificed everyone here, it wouldn’t be a match," Lie Changgong, knowing Lie Rou’s state, feared she might do something foolish, decisively knocked her unconscious.

Witnessing all this, Yue Jinghua remained silent.

She looked up at the sky, where a white giant dragon had occupied the upper hand.

Her older brother Yue Minzhi, who had forcibly broken through the Dan Realm recently, was gradually faltering.

"Miss! Young master can’t hold on any longer; perhaps we should ask the Empress to deploy troops. We could gather the Dragon Rider Team’s strength to repel the Sun Dragon Clan’s assault," Hongling was equally anxious.

This damned Sun Dragon Clan, today was supposed to be a joyous occasion, yet they turned it into this mess.

"No, grandfather is right; we’re no match for them. The Empress will not help us; no one dare helps us. The Sun Dragon Clan is the first among the Four Great Holy Beasts; no force or person on the continent is their match," Yue Jinghua stood amidst the ruins, her gaze cold.

The Duke Mansion was destroyed; half of the Imperial City was affected.

Inside the Imperial City, the Dragon Knights showed no movement; Long Teng the 73rd had already stated her stance. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Yue Jinghua did not blame her; after all, Long Teng the 73rd’s current position had changed.

She must consider the welfare of the entire Dragon War Empire.

If any force helps the Duke Mansion tonight, they will face a powerful backlash from the Holy Beasts in the future.

No one dares to take this risk.

"Jinghua, I’m sorry," Xie Yu also lowered his head.

With a mournful cry, Yue Jinghua’s eyelids twitched.

The golden giant dragon, Yue Minzhi, finally lost his Dark Power, falling from mid-air.

Yue Jinghua stirred but stopped at the last moment, her fists tightly clenched, then dropped down.

The dragon’s form transformed back into a human figure; a silver dragon shadow caught Yue Minzhi’s body.

Yue Potian also reverted to human form; he regained his breath after a brief respite.

Though Yue Minzhi had deliberately offended, Yue Potian wasn’t angered. In fact, Yue Minzhi’s awakening exposed his golden giant dragon lineage, which greatly pleased Yue Potian.

A golden giant dragon meant another precious bloodline for the Sun Dragon Clan, further strengthening them.

"Clan Leader, Yue Minzhi is captured, yet the Duke Mansion has turned into ruins. I searched inside but didn’t find Master Yue Nian’s other child, nor Yue Jinghua’s whereabouts," Yue Potian had come to verify the Yue siblings’ lineage, capturing Yue Minzhi but failing to find Yue Jinghua’s trace.

"Such a small Imperial City, finding one person should be easy," Yue Potian thought indifferently, rapidly releasing his spiritual power, searching for traces related to Dragon Clan blood.

"Hm?" After a search, Yue Potian found no other traces of pure Dragon Clan bloodline in the Imperial City, aside from him, Yue Minzhi, and Yue Xi.

Unconvinced, he searched again.

Again, no discovery.

"Run away monk, but not the temple; I don’t believe that capturing other Duke Mansion people won’t bring Yue Jinghua forth," Yue Potian, slightly frustrated, realized he had solely focused on Yue Minzhi earlier, neglecting Yue Jinghua.

After another search, Yue Potian found that indeed, in one night, Duke Mansion people had vanished like into thin air.

No traces remain, nor any clues for tracking.

Surrounding the Duke Mansion, there’s no sign of any transmission array or secret passage.

"What exactly is going on?" Yue Potian was astonished, wondering if within mere moments, Duke Mansion people could use some special method to escape the Imperial City?

Yue Potian then stayed in the Imperial City for another night; at dawn, searched the city again, still finding no leads on Duke Mansion people.

At that moment, Yue Xi received a piece of urgent military intelligence from the Sun Dragon Clan.

The intelligence was sent by spies placed in the Demon World from the Moon Plane, concerning a shocking event in the Demon Clan in recent days.

"Emperor Demon Wu Ya has descended again; Demon Clan revival is imminent," upon receiving this news, Yue Potian abandoned his thoughts of lingering on the Canglong Continent, departing with the still comatose Yue Minzhi and Yue Xi overnight.
