Chapter 278 - 130: Blood of the Holy Dragon
At dawn, when Yue Jinghua and Yunhu Commerce’s people hurried back from the Outer Court to meet with Lie Rou and others, they could not find them, so knowing something was amiss, everyone followed the official road towards Polo City in search.
With the help of Shalman and two Dark Beasts, Yue Jinghua and others found Yue Chen and Lie Rou resting in a dense forest.
Yue Chen sat on a short tree stump, and his expression loosened a bit upon seeing Yue Jinghua, while Lie Rou was covered with a thick blanket, sound asleep.
"What happened?" Yue Jinghua had already recalled the two Dark Beasts, both of which indicated nothing unusual happened last night, yet the scene before her eyes was puzzling.
There were clear signs of a fight on the ground, and the bombed remains of bones were horrifying to behold.
Yue Chen handed over the dagger and briefly explained the sudden appearance of Qin Gang the previous night, but he omitted the part about using the spirit wood to kill.
"You mean to say, our mother used this dagger to kill Qin Gang in order to protect you?" If not for knowing that little Yue Chen is a truthful little boy who can’t even tell a lie, Yue Jinghua would have thought she was hearing things.
Let alone Yue Jinghua, even the willful girl from Yunhu Commerce and Teng Wu couldn’t believe it.
"Qin Gang was a well-known Dark Heavenly Master in the Dragon War Empire; I’ve heard a bit about him. With his cultivation, even if he was careless, he shouldn’t have been killed by a dagger," Teng Wu observed the surroundings and Qin Gang’s remains.
After examining the remains, Teng Wu’s expression grew serious.
