Dragon Tamer

Madam Dong and her people must have their own contact signs. After finding a sign, they soon had a direction.

Before long, Madam Dong found her tribespeople and subjects in a burnt forest.

These people must have been scattered by the Yama Dragon and Dark Creatures, unable to find the previous crevice, so they temporarily retreated here.

Seeing Madam Dong, these strongmen from the Holy Que Continent all showed shocked expressions.

Indeed, they had thought the people in the cave were all dead; a single trample by the Yama Dragon would have buried everyone alive!

“The Emperor is still alive??” that man with a face covered in soot and ash said in disbelief.

“Yes, everyone is safe and sound. This Mr. Zhu is our savior from the Holy Que, and I hope, in the future, you will respect him as you do our respected Emperor,” Madam Dong said.

There were more than a hundred people in the burnt forest, and shockingly, they were all of the King-Level Realm.

In fact, if they had not been ignorant of the night of the Tianshu God Domain, there would be two to three hundred King-Level strongmen who survived, but sadly, their numbers decreased each night.

“I don’t know if the others can survive under the claws of the night dragon. We are also trying our best to recall people, but I don’t know how we’ll get through the next night,” the man with soot and ash in his eyes said, full of distress and unwillingness.

Now, every night is torture; they hadn’t slept peacefully in many days, and if it weren’t for thoughts of family and tribespeople in their hearts, they would have already collapsed.

“Things will get better, things will get better. King Hong’s injuries have improved slightly; don’t give up so easily. And I have good news for everyone; we now have a place to stay. Until the Nothingness Fog disperses, we don’t have to worry about the darkness anymore,” Madam Dong said.

Madam Dong then explained to everyone the matter with Absolute Ridge Chengbang.

These strongmen, mostly subordinates of Madam Dong and Hong Geng, upon hearing that everyone had been settled, and that Zhu Minglang was willing to shelter them, the abandoned people of Holy Que, knelt all at once, banging their heads on the ground three times in succession.

“I don’t mean to conceal from you, Sir, that we had prepared to hang ourselves here. I, Pang Kai, am willing to work like an ox or a horse for the young master, with no complaints whatsoever,” the man with a face of soot and ash said, his eyes brimming with tears.

Zhu Minglang’s settlements included his wife and children.

These more than a hundred people, who had been living by their faith to protect their family and tribespeople, thought that everyone had died in the Earth Vein, and no longer wished to struggle on…

Pang Kai was not a subordinate of Emperor Hong Geng.

He was merely a drifter. When the continent shattered, he saved his own family and protected some neighbors. After falling here, he joined Madam Dong and the others.

This ashen-faced fellow had a claw mark on his body with black poisonous rot festering on the wound, and according to others, it was this strongman who had diverted the Yama Dragon last night, allowing the others a chance to escape.

“To distract the Yama Dragon and not die?? This guy’s cultivation base is ridiculously high!” Zhu Minglang thought to himself.

Such a strong person is not easy to deal with.

Although he said he was willing to work like an ox or a horse, Zhu Minglang noticed that there weren’t many King-Level Realm experts in Li Chuan, so there was still a possibility of a role reversal.

Luckily, Madam Dong understood Zhu Minglang’s concerns and likewise asked Pang Kai to swear by his soul, to be absolutely loyal.

Pang Kai, a man who was planning to commit suicide here, why would he care about a curse oath? He trusted Madam Dong not to deceive him. So even without seeing his family yet, he swore by his cursed soul…

This curse oath was written by Mi Rong in the name of the Xuange God. As long as the starlight of Xuange God illuminated this land, it held immense validity.

Unless they achieved Divine Enthronement, the curse would persist.

“Brother Zhu, I only have two pieces of God Paper Contract… These two pieces of divine paper must be kept safe by Brother Zhu. If they get destroyed, the contract’s binding power will also be lost,” Mi Rong specifically cautioned.

This type of contract was established on special divine paper, infused with Divine Power. The Holy Monarch had awarded two pieces to Mi Rong, who in turn gave them all to Zhu Minglang.

“God-selected Big Brother is really so kind,”

“When he becomes a god, he will definitely be an outstanding benevolent deity, just like God Xuan Ge.”

“But being too kind also makes one vulnerable to schemes, particularly since God-selected Big Brother has intermittent memory loss. Mi Rong specially cautioned Zhu Minglang about the importance of this God Paper Contract.”

“Among these disaster-stricken people on Holy Quel Continent, it should be Hong Geng and Pang Kai who are the strongest. By having them bind the others, there’s no need to worry about someone rebelling.”

“Of course, I must also quickly enhance my own power. Relying on others to keep order is ultimately not as effective as deterring them with my own strength.”

…

“After leading these people to the Veins of the Earth, while navigating the complicated Earth Vein Labyrinth, Zhu Minglang found that the Nothingness Fog was scattering, sealing off the route he had marked.”

“Although Mi Rong could find alternative paths, it meant that without Mi Rong, without my Lantern Jade Mask, it would be impossible to pass through this vein river maze to reach Li Chuan.”

“This is also good.”

“Only Mi Rong and I can pass through, ensuring no mishaps.”

“After delivering these people to Absolute Ridge Chengbang, Zhu Minglang and Mi Rong returned to the expanse of the Crater Basin.”

“This time, it was just the two of them.”

“Dusk was approaching.”

“Mi Rong was also observing the stars in the sky.”

“Before the sky had completely darkened, that exceedingly brilliant star had already appeared on the horizon—the god it represented was Yuheng.”

“Yuheng is the brightest star in this starry sky, visible even at dusk.”

“At this moment, Mi Rong was using the starlight of God Yuheng to divine the qi and search for that extremely exquisite piece of Moon Jade Glass.”

“During the day, the Moon Jade Glass might look like a piece of black broken rock, but at night, once found, just blow away the cinder covering it, and it would radiate an unlimited moonlight glow, ten times more dazzling than the Luminous Pearl.”

“Zhu Minglang was quite tempted, after all, this meant that Little White might be able to rely on this piece of Moon Jade Glass to directly hit the adult stage.”

“‘It’s to the east, Brother Zhu, we should head in that direction first,’ Mi Rong suggested, having discerned a rough direction, and immediately informed Zhu Minglang.”

“Zhu Minglang nodded and set off towards the east with Mi Rong.”

“In this region, there were slash marks everywhere; the exaggerated Sickle Wings had nearly divided the land into several areas, forming valleys, rifts…”

“Not far now!” There was a look of joy on Mi Rong’s face.

“They leaped down a massive fault line into a deep basin. The terrain inside the basin was uneven with significant undulations, some parts were continuous like sand dunes.”

“The terrain here was not very flat. The setting sun already hung on the horizon, but its afterglow couldn’t completely illuminate the deep basin; some undulating areas had even plunged into darkness.”

“Over these days, Mi Rong had not ceased to tell Zhu Minglang about the Tian shu God Domain, especially about the rules of darkness.”

“As night fell, dark vortices would appear in the God Territory, like doors to the Underworld. Nightwalkers would emerge from these vortices, and swiftly spread throughout every corner of the Tian shu God Domain.”

“Wherever darkness fell, dark vortices would appear, which meant that right now, some places in this deep basin, untouched by the afterglow, might be lurking with Nightwalkers.”

“Thus, dusk is actually the most complicated time in the Tian shu God Domain.”

“The spiritual beings of the day coexist with the creatures of the night!”

“Ordinarily, as a Divine Chosen and a God’s Descendant, their joint presence should have been enough to disperse the minor demons of the night, but for an entity like a Yama Dragon—a creature that would dare to fly over the heads of gods—mere candidates for divinity and relatives of the divine were insignificant.”

“‘Brother Zhu, I found it! It’s in the trench ahead!’ Mi Rong announced.”

“Zhu Minglang looked into the trench and saw that half of it was bathed in rusty yellow sunlight, while the other half had already succumbed to complete darkness.”

“As a Divine Chosen, Zhu Minglang had a keen sense of dark creatures, and he couldn’t help but fixate on the darker half, where he caught sight of a pair of eyes capable of terrifying the soul into dispersion!”

“Those eyes were like ghostly flames. A mere accidental glance was like observing the gates of the underworld hell; Zhu Minglang felt as though he was submerged in both icy bone-chilling water and boiling molten rock, enduring an indescribable torment!”

“Yama! Dragon!”

“It was crouched right next to the Moon Jade Glass!”

“Zhu Minglang’s Adam’s apple was writhing. Just what level of existence was this creature, a divine level?!”

“Even though Mi Rong had emphasized time and again that no powerful Nightwalker could break the laws of day and night, that they absolutely wouldn’t dare to expose themselves where there was sunlight, Zhu Minglang still felt that the last rays of the setting sun couldn’t protect his life!!”

“‘Take it quickly, it can’t come over yet!!’ Mi Rong couldn’t help but shout.”

“The strand of afterglow in the deep trench looked like a clear demarcation line between daylight and night, splitting into two entirely different worlds. Zhu Minglang watched as the black jade stone was slowly being overtaken by the dark… ”

“And the Yama Dragon was also following the limit of this afterglow, inching towards the Moon Jade Glass!!!”
