Chapter 442 - 196 Ambush
"Lord of Stars, please don’t be angry, I had no choice," Lu Hong took out the letter written by Cain.
Hall Master Yiji Xingjun motioned the assassins to step back, flexed his finger, and the letter flew into his hand.
After quickly scanning the letter, Hall Master Yiji Xingjun’s brow slightly furrowed. Cain was an old friend of many years, and it was difficult to punish Lu Hong when his friend was requesting help.
"What has happened in Dragon’s Pond? I know Cain’s strength well; no one within nearly a hundred neighboring planes could be his match."
Faced with Hall Master Yiji Xingjun’s question, Lu Hong began, "He was foolish and fell into the Kairo family’s trap. He had half his divine soul consumed by a dragon spirit and then was forced to self-destruct under the assault of the three saints of Dragon’s Pond, damaging his foundation."
"Dragon spirit," Hall Master Yiji Xingjun muttered pensively, chewing on the words, "It seems the legends are true."
"That’s correct, the Kairo family is secretly scheming to resurrect the true dragon. Lord Cain is severely injured and unable to stop them, which is why he thought to seek the help of Lord Yiji Xingjun, hoping you could offer assistance in killing the dragon spirit and preventing the resurrection of the true dragon of Dragon’s Pond."
"In that case," Hall Master Yiji Xingjun pondered briefly, "Then I shall accompany you, but this also counts as seeking benefits for the empire. Once the matter is resolved, I hope you can introduce me to Konstantin."
"Absolutely no problem, I know Konstantin quite well," Lu Hong slapped his chest and readily agreed.
"Heh heh," Hall Master Yiji Xingjun chuckled, knowing that though he had sought out Konstantin before, he had been ignored; Lu Hong apparently knew nothing about it. By agreeing so readily, if he failed to accomplish the meeting, Hall Master Yiji Xingjun wondered how he would deal with him.
