Chapter 1314 - Chapter 1314 Chapter 721 Ancestral Dragon
Chapter 1314: Chapter 721: Ancestral Dragon Chapter 1314: Chapter 721: Ancestral Dragon Flood Dragon hesitated upon hearing the words, a flicker of uncertainty passing through his eyes. He was deeply aware that what he was about to reveal might touch on some sensitive topics, and might even provoke conflict between the Demon Race and other beings within the Ancient Barrier. But, seeing the City Lord’s resolute gaze and the man’s anticipatory eyes, he eventually nodded, deciding to tell them everything he knew.
Thus, a discussion about the Ancient Barrier and the beings seeking escape quietly unfolded in a corner of the Demon Clan Palace. This conversation would come to be a crucial turning point in the fate of the Demon Race’s future.
Within the dim and solemn Demon Clan Palace, the conversation between the City Lord, the man, and Flood Dragon continued. Words of reverence and hope filled Flood Dragon’s speech as he spoke slowly, “He is only at Demigod Level now, suppressed and needing some time to recuperate before he can make a dash for the Divine Level! But after this Master ascends to Divine Level, our future will indeed be within reach!”
At this point, Flood Dragon’s eyes shimmered with excitement. It was as if he could already envision a glorious future for the Demon Race under that Master’s leadership. He swung his massive tail in wild exuberance, stirring up dust, as the entire cave seemed to vibrate with his joy.
“That is truly wonderful!” The City Lord couldn’t help but smile, fully aware of what the emergence of a Divine Level Expert meant for the Demon Race. He turned to Flood Dragon, his voice filled with gratitude, “We owe you thanks for sharing this vital information; otherwise, we would have no idea when we would discover the existence of this Master.”
Flood Dragon humbly lowered his head, implying that it was simply his duty. Then, he changed the subject, speaking of his owner’s ordeal, “After our Master escaped from the Barrier, he suffered terribly. He was ambushed by the Human race and is now heavily injured, in seclusion to recuperate.”
At this, Flood Dragon paused as if recalling that harrowing experience. His eyes dimmed, and his voice grew much heavier, “Those Human Cultivators, relying on their numbers and powerful Magical Treasures, pursued our Master relentlessly. If it weren’t for my desperate protection, perhaps…”
Flood Dragon didn’t finish his sentence, but both the City Lord and the man could sense the sorrow and helplessness in his words. They remained silent for a moment before the City Lord consoled him, “Brother Flood Dragon, do not be too saddened. Since your Master has already escaped and is recuperating in seclusion, that means there is still hope for him to recover his strength. Besides, with the Demon Race’s protection, we will ensure that your Master will not suffer any further harm.”
Gratitude flashed in Flood Dragon’s eyes at these words. He knew all too well that he was alone in the Demon Race, without family or kin, but the City Lord’s words brought him a sense of warmth and reliance. He nodded firmly and said, “I am grateful for your concern, Lord City Lord. I believe our Master will recover his strength soon, and then we can join forces against the Human race and show them the might of our Demon Race!”
The City Lord and the man shared a smile, inspired by Flood Dragon’s determination and courage. In this discussion about the Ancient Barrier, the Divine Level Expert, and the future of the Demon Race, they could almost see the dawn of the Demon Race’s rise. And without a doubt, the Master who had escaped the Barrier would become the key to their path to glory.
In the dark and profound chambers of the Demon Clan Palace, Flood Dragon’s voice echoed within the spacious cave, carrying endless rage and bitterness, “Those Humans are utterly ruthless, overlooking my family and subjecting our Master to all kinds of abuse! Our Master had no choice but to flee to these lands, fortunate enough to receive your aid.” Tears glistened in Flood Dragon’s eyes as his massive form trembled slightly, recounting a past too painful to revisit.
