Chapter 389 - 385: Joining Forces
"Ha, it’s Leng Tao, Tao has come out first!"
Seeing the figure emerging from the center of the Black Dragon Ancient Land, two middle-aged martial artists were overjoyed and hurriedly gathered around, "Tao, what have you gained?" One of them, impatient, asked.
Leng Tao gave a mysterious smile but wasn’t in a hurry to answer. The middle-aged martial artist was about to continue questioning but was stopped by a look from his companion, "Let’s go, let’s head home first. Whether there are gains or not, this trip must have been exhausting!"
From Leng Tao’s smile, it was clear he had indeed gained something. Thus, Leng Tao and his kin almost flew away from the Black Dragon Ancient Land at the fastest speed, embarking on the journey back home.
Why the hurry? The reason was simple.
The warriors who made it to the Black Dragon Ranking mostly came from ancient sects and noble martial arts families, and these sects and families had gathered a web of complex relations over many years.
Almost every sect and martial arts family had rival powers.
An increase in strength by a rival often meant a relative decrease in their own, so after each Black Dragon Ranking competition, many sects and families took the opportunity to eliminate the talented members of their rival forces.
Especially this time, the listed warriors on the Black Dragon Ranking had entered the Black Dragon Secret Palace, and if left to grow, they would be truly formidable.
Thus, almost every sect and family, upon seeing their disciples appear, left immediately as quickly as possible.
