Chapter 1425 - 1421:

The Forbidden Technique used by Dragon Spirit didn’t take much time, the only trouble was that the person from whom he extracted memory was too weak.

He needed to control the force well to extract the memory intact without killing the person.

This careful operation truly tested patience.

At this moment, Dragon Spirit could finally understand why Yun Ran had been so focused when extracting his Dragon Core before.

Yun Ran never hid what happened here from anyone.

Azure Dragon felt a faint headache as he looked at the person sitting in his tent.

"I haven’t rested for several days; you’d better not have any more bad news for me!" he said.

The Young Prince shrugged his shoulders; he didn’t want to be the one bringing bad news all the time.

But since his people weren’t up to the task and the Bald Monk wasn’t around, he had to come.

"There is a minor issue, but it’s almost resolved; it’s just..."

The Young Prince initially wanted to downplay the situation, as Yun Ran had already saved those problematic subordinates.

Regarding the trouble Yun Ran caused himself, he planned to feign ignorance.

But with Dragon Spirit bringing back a group of people and asking his men to interrogate them, it was obviously dragging them into the matter.

Now the Young Prince could no longer turn a blind eye.

"Speak without gasping!"

Azure Dragon, once aloof and untouched by worldly affairs, now became grounded by trivial matters.

"It’s Dragon Spirit; he went out for a stroll and then brought back dozens of people.

The interrogation results were problematic, so I report to you first and will meet them later."

Azure Dragon put down the booklet in his hand and looked seriously at the Young Prince.

The Young Prince’s heavy tone suggested bad news indeed.

"Continue," Azure Dragon prompted.

"The people themselves aren’t the issue, but the trouble lies with those seeking them.

The people caught or killed weren’t selected randomly; they were specifically targeted.

I’ve already verified. The deceased were all people with specific Life Charts, it seems less like a hunt for profit, more like a special... sacrifice."

Upon uttering the last two words, the Young Prince’s voice faltered as if those words were scorching hot.

The city was destroyed, tens of thousands displaced...

Coupled with those special Life Chart people mixed among the refugees, even dying mysteriously along the way wouldn’t prompt any investigation.

In a flash, Azure Dragon guessed the hidden intrigue.

He immediately stood up: "I’ll personally go find Yun Ran and his team!"

The Young Prince felt relieved instantly; having Azure Dragon deal with Yun Ran was much better than him doing it.

When Azure Dragon arrived, Yun Ran was sitting idly on the ground, napping.

Upon hearing footsteps, she didn’t even open her eyes, recognizing the familiar steps.

Azure Dragon noticed the flags spinning quickly in the air and frowned slightly.

The flags carried a subtle, occasional evil aura, but Azure Dragon detected it.

Had Yun Ran not been present, Azure Dragon might have directly destroyed the flags.

"Are these your belongings?" Azure Dragon asked.

Only then did Yun Ran open her eyes and glance up at Azure Dragon standing beside her.

"Oh, you’ve finally learned to ask before acting," she remarked.

Azure Dragon: ...

It seemed she was referring to the time when he acted against Dragon Spirit without Yun Ran’s consent.

"So long has passed, and you still can’t let go of past matters, despite us compensating!"

The current Azure Dragon was no longer cold and aloof; Yun Ran’s words easily provoked him.

Even to block Yun Ran’s annoying comments, he compensated handsomely.

Hearing similar comments again, he finally reacted differently and even retorted.

Yun Ran pouted; it was no longer amusing, Azure Dragon had gotten smart and was hard to fool.

"Ridiculous, in this world, even the unreasonable ones make noise; naturally, I have to speak up when I’m in the right."

Azure Dragon knew Yun Ran’s eloquence was formidable, so he quickly shifted topics: "Those people Dragon Spirit previously captured revealed some matters..."

Azure Dragon recounted the Young Prince’s findings followed by his own speculations.

"You previously mentioned that we might be entangled in an unthinkable divine causality; I was reserved then.

We’ve been encountering troubles that others might never face in a lifetime consecutively.

It appears true; even the Fallen God Seed, although destined to perish, would result in us being Godslayers if we dare to act.

Such causality is unbearable even for those with Great Luck."

Yun Ran remained unmoved, still sitting on the ground with a hand supporting her chin, seemingly pondering.

Azure Dragon didn’t interrupt, his gaze fell back on those tirelessly rotating flags.

He truly believed now that Yun Ran’s identity was extraordinary, possessing plenty of good items.

Though the flags exuded an aura of evil, they could obscure some Heavenly Secrets and causality.

Yet the refinement and usage methods of these flags aren’t of the Righteous Path.

’Crack’ sounded a crisp noise.

A small gap appeared in the Array Barrier Yun Ran had set up before.

Then, as if the condensed air broke, all airflows surged in one direction.

The powerful aura on Dragon Spirit’s body spread domineeringly.

Fortunately, Yun Ran was prepared, firmly locking the aura within a five-meter diameter before the strong life force on Dragon Spirit expanded.

"Phew~"

Once Dragon Spirit was fine, Yun Ran stood up, stretched lazily, and exhaled comfortably.

Azure Dragon couldn’t deduce what Dragon Spirit was doing, but the setup indicated the use of Forbidden Technique powers.

He also raised his hand to lock the surrounding airflow movement.

The life force from Dragon Spirit was highly alluring; if others detected it, it could cause substantial trouble.

Especially now, knowing the refugees among them secretly captured people with special Life Charts; Dragon Spirit was their prime target as a life form.

"Huh, why are you all here!" Dragon Spirit remarked upon exiting the array with stabilized aura.

Yun Ran being here was normal, but Azure Dragon’s presence felt out of place, not to mention Dragon Spirit felt displeased with Azure Dragon.

If asked why, it’s because Azure Dragon once trapped him in an air cage, even if reconciled, the enmity remained.
