Chapter 1124: Chapter 209: Pursuit from the Dragon Realm (1st Update)

With a loud roar, Mu Qingge and Yin Chen’s expressions changed instantly.

To scare Hou, who fears nothing, to such an extent, it must be that the Dragon Clan came in large numbers.

Mu Qingge is already exhausted at this moment, with no strength left to run. Yin Chen’s snow-white robe is also stained with spots of blood, with a bloody heart in his hand.

He killed dragons, but he himself did not escape unscathed.

Hou was about to drag Mu Qingge to escape, and at that moment, Mu Qingge sensed a warning from the Barrier she had set. "It’s too late." Even if they ran immediately, they wouldn’t get far and would be discovered by the Dragon Clan.

Mu Qingge’s eyes moved quickly, suddenly, she raised her hand to withdraw the Forbidden Technique at the entrance, and with Hou and Yin Chen, she quickly slipped into the space.

Just as they entered, a dozen dragons appeared in the sky above the valley, riding the clouds.

The Forbidden Technique at the valley entrance had been withdrawn, and they rushed in without obstruction. The dozen dragons descended from the sky, transforming into human forms, all strong and burly middle-aged men with fierce and resolute features.

Inside the space, Mu Qingge, Yin Chen, and Hou were temporarily resting. Apart from a small Black Dragon wasted by Mu Qingge, the hearts of the other four dragons were brought in and soaked in the Spiritual Spring within the space.

While the three of them sat cross-legged on the grass, watching the commotion outside through the God-piercing Mirror.

"These old bastards, they came so fast." Hou couldn’t help but curse.

Mu Qingge pressed her lips and said, "The Dragon Clan moves swiftly."

Yin Chen glanced at Hou indifferently and said, "If you had set up a trap directly at the place of your duel, maybe they wouldn’t have discovered us so quickly."

The words left Hou speechless.

Outside the space, those dozen or so members of the Dragon Clan stood in the valley, the overwhelming scent of blood and the scene of devastation after the battle made their eyes bulge with anger.

"Damn it! This is the blood of our Dragon Clan!" one of them said furiously.

The remnants on the ground, broken dragon scales, and all other evidence clearly told them a fact. Those five little dragons that sneaked out were dead.

Such a loss was undoubtedly massive for the Dragon Clan.

"These five were arrogant! They tried to ambush Hou before, and this time they were challenged by him. It was clearly hostile, yet they didn’t inform the Elder of the clan, just sneaking out like this—it was pure suicide!"

"Hou is cunning and treacherous, how could the five of them be his match?"

"Damn it! Hou truly is a formidable enemy to our Dragon Clan!"

In the valley, the dozen or so members of the Dragon Clan vented their anger. Meanwhile, inside the space, Mu Qingge, observing the scene through the God-piercing Mirror, wore a peculiar expression.

Slowly, she turned to look at Hou, and Yin Chen did the same.

It seemed they were studying whether the "cunning and treacherous" Hou mentioned by the Dragon Clan was the one before them.

"Such a flawed trap, coming willingly to face it. If not for their arrogance and inability to recognize their own and the opponent’s strength, it can only be described as stupidity." Mu Qingge raised her chin and remarked.

The ploy set by Hou was, in her eyes, truly clumsy.

If placed among the Human Clan, even a slightly cunning teenager would arrange it more thoroughly than him.

However, such a scheme was deemed ’cunning’ in the eyes of the Dragon Clan; she really didn’t know how to describe the simplicity of the Beast Clan.

This simplicity doesn’t mean they lack intelligence; rather, in terms of scheming, the Beast Clan of the Demon Forest lags behind the Human Clan by several Divine Demon Continents.

Listening to Mu Qingge’s words, Hou’s arrogance completely vanished. He hung his head, fingers gently drawing before him.

Yin Chen curiously leaned over to take a look, only to realize his fingers were drawing circles.

"..." Yin Chen’s mouth twitched slightly, silently turning his gaze away from Hou.

Mu Qingge likewise focused her attention on the image in the God-piercing Mirror. Killing five little dragons wasn’t significant; what they feared next was the potential retaliation from the entire Dragon Clan.

Outside the space, those chasing members of the Dragon Clan remained unsatisfied.

They hated Hou’s brutality, and loathed the five little dragons’ suicidal ignorance!

For so many years, the grievances between the Dragon Clan and Hou were already complicated. For them to try resolving this individually was simply unimaginable wishful thinking.

"Hmph, if it weren’t for Ao Fei and Ao Ting inadvertently letting it slip, we might not even know they’d died." a veteran dragon said with hatred.

"Ao Fei, Ao Ting?" Mu Qingge turned her gaze towards Hou.

Seemingly feeling Mu Qingge’s gaze, Hou raised his eyes and grinned at her. His white teeth clashed brightly with the tattooed face around his mouth.

His smile hadn’t fully spread when it was subdued under Mu Qingge’s cold stare. He chuckled awkwardly, "They must be the last two."

Mu Qingge pursed her lips, thinking briefly. She muttered under her breath, "It seems they revealed your challenge, prompting the Dragon Clan to act quickly."

"Damn it! Truly a slip up." Hou slapped his thigh. "I originally thought the Dragon Clan wouldn’t notice so quickly. We planned to leave the Demon Forest after killing dragons for the blood, so they couldn’t find us, but they caught up faster than expected. It seems problematic."

"It’s truly a slip up!" Yin Chen remarked with distinctly evident sarcasm in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Hou dropped his head again, continuing to draw circles.

Yin Chen glanced at Mu Qingge and asked, "Qingge, what should we do next? If the Dragon Clan is truly enraged and launches a full-scale attack, it won’t be a good situation for us."

Mu Qingge frowned and said, "First, let’s see what they plan." Saying this, she refocused her attention on the God-piercing Mirror.

"What now?" Outside, those veteran dragons were discussing their strategy.

One dragon said, "This time Hou dared to kill our five descendants, we absolutely cannot let it slide, otherwise, he’ll become even more arrogant. Let’s first collect these remains and then..."

"And then what?"

His eyes grew cold, with a sharp and fierce edge. "Then, launch a full-scale hunt for Hou!"

"And his accomplices." Someone added, "Although they’re still little dragons, with Hou severely injured, it’s hard for him to have killed them all in such a short time. He must have accomplices!"

"Indeed! We cannot spare anyone who killed from our Dragon Clan. They are surely still within the Demon Forest, let’s pursue immediately."

"Alright." The higher-ranking senior dragon addressed three other dragons, "You three collect the corpses and return to the Dragon Realm, the rest of us fifteen will search. The battle just ended here, they won’t have gotten far!"
