Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3054: Who Gave You Permission to Leave?

Translator: Legge

Long Mo descended on Illumination Dragon Star with Su Zimo, Monkey and Long Ran and headed straight for Dragon King Illumination’s palace.

Dragon King Flame did not stop them. He merely hung behind the four of them with a mocking smile.

Su Zimo frowned slightly in deep thought.

“Brother Su, there should be something wrong with Dragon King Flame.” Right then, Long Li sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness. “I suspect that City Lord Long Feng’s message was intercepted by him!” “But why?”

Long Li’s voice was filled with confusion. “Why is Dragon King Flame doing this. Why did he betray his clansmen? Could it be that he has some difficulties?”

Long Li was still unwilling to believe this.

Su Zimo said, “Everything will be clear when we meet Dragon King Illumination.”

Before long, Su Zimo and the other three arrived in front of Dragon King Illumination’s palace.

The moment they stepped into the main hall, they felt a heat wave surge towards them.    &

The majestic hall was built above a volcano. Hot lava flowed beneath its feet and bubbles rose as boulders floated on it.

In the middle of the hall sat a red-robed old man with scarlet hair and slightly white sideburns.

The red-robed old man sat in the middle with a burning gaze and a dignified aura. Under the illumination of the lava beneath his feet, his face was flushed and he was clearly at his peak.

Long Li and the other three stood on a huge boulder and floated forward slowly under the flowing lava.

Dragon King Flame did not follow them in and merely stood at the entrance of the hall.

Greetings, Dragon King Illumination.”

Long Li went forward and bowed.

As the supreme Perfected Spirit of the Dragon race and her mother was Dragon Queen Hornless, who was on par with Dragon King Illumination, Dragon King Illumination was naturally familiar with her.

“There’s no need for formalities.”

Dragon King Illumination nodded slightly before shifting his gaze to Su Zimo and Monkey.

“Outsiders?”

Dragon King Illumination murmured softly with an expressionless face.

“I’m Su Zimo. Greetings, Dragon King Illumination.”

Su Zimo greeted calmly in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Dragon King Illumination did not reply and merely glanced at Su Zimo indifferently.

Su Zimo smiled nonchalantly, not minding.

Although there was a difference in status between the two of them, he was a Grotto-heaven King after all. It was understandable for him to greet Dragon King Illumination simply without any formalities.

When Monkey saw that, he was displeased and chuckled, not even bothering to greet at all.                             6

Since this person was being rude, why should he bother about the latter’s status?

Long Ran was a member of the Dragon race after all and was worried that Su Zimo and Monkey would offend Dragon King Illumination because of this. He hurriedly went forward and knelt down.

Long Li went forward as well. “Dragon King Illumination, ten-odd Kings of the Tomb World led an army of ten million and just attacked Feng City. Thankfully Brother Su and the others helped so that Feng City did not fall.”

“Oh?”

When Dragon King Illumination heard that, his expression finally changed. “How can an ordinary King of the human race defend Feng City against ten- odd Kings of the Tomb World?”

“It’s absolutely true!”

Long Li said in a deep voice, “When it happened, City Lord Long Feng sent a message back immediately. However, Illumination Dragon Star did not seem to have received any news.”

At that point, Long Li looked at Dragon King Illumination.

That statement was as good as a question. However, Dragon King Illumination was expressionless and silent.

Long Li took a deep breath of air. “I suspect that someone on Illumination Dragon Star intercepted City Lord Long Feng’s message without permission and hid the information!”

As she said that, Long Li looked at Dragon King Flame who was guarding the entrance of the hall and gritted her teeth. “Dragon King Illumination, I suspect that this matter is related to Dragon King Flame. Please investigate this thoroughly, Dragon King Illumination!”

“Fufu…”

When Dragon King Flame heard Long Li’s accusation, he merely chuckled without panicking or even retorting.

When Su Zimo saw that, he narrowed his eyes.

Initially, he thought that Dragon King Flame had revealed a flaw because he was careless previously.

It was only at that moment that he was truly certain that Dragon King Flame seemed even more fearless!

What was his backing?

Su Zimo’s heart sank when he thought of a possibility.

However, he remained calm and did not reveal any abnormalities. Right then, Dragon King Illumination said slowly, “Li’er, after such a huge matter happened, you suspected your clansmen immediately but not the two outsiders beside you?”

“Huh?”

Long Li was stunned for a moment and said instinctively, “Brother Su and the others are my friends. Thankfully, we had Brother Su’s help this time round to protect Feng City. Why would I suspect them?”

“Li’er, you’re still too naive.”

Dragon King Illumination shook his head gently. “Could it be a coincidence that the Tomb World attacked Feng City the moment these two outsiders appeared?”

“Those who are not of our race will definitely have different intentions! Over the years, how many outsiders have betrayed us?! Li’er, you’ve already led a wolf into your house without knowing it!”

Long Li looked at Dragon King Illumination in disbelief and argued, “That’s impossible! I saw the battle earlier on with my own eyes. There’s no way Brother Su and the others have anything to do with the Tomb World!”

“Dragon King Illumination, are you suspecting me?”

Long Li was angry and frustrated and was a little anxious.

Dragon King Illumination said indifferently, “It’s not that I suspect you It’s just that you’re too young and inexperienced, so you’re easily bewitched by outsiders. Furthermore, what you see might not be true.”

Long Li was of the Dragon race after all and there were some things that she might not have thought of.

Or rather, she might not dare to think in those directions.

However, as an outsider, Su Zimo had already begun to suspect Dragon King Illumination!

If Dragon King Illumination did not know that the news had been intercepted by Dragon King Flame, his behavior earlier on was way too calm.

When he heard that Feng City was attacked and almost lost, it was way too abnormal for him to not care about his clansmen.

If Dragon King Flame’s backing was Dragon King Illumination in front of them that would explain his earlier behavior easily.

Of course, even Su Zimo could not really believe it. Less than that, he could not understand why one of the notorious Five Great Dragon Kings of the medium chihocosm, Dragon King Illumination, would betray the Dragon race!

Even an outsider like him could have such a feeling, let alone Long Li.

That thought was way too bold.

Long Li still tried her best to argue and was even a little angry as she shouted Dragon King Illumination, not all outsiders have ulterior motives! ”

“If you don’t believe me, summon City Lord Long Feng now. He will naturally explain it to you as well!”

Monkey could not take it anymore and was so angry that he was smoking. He scratched his ears and cheeks, feeling uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Su Zimo raised his voice and said, “Dragon King Illumination, since you don’t believe me, it would seem like we’re asking for trouble if we stay here. I’ll take my leave now.”

Thereafter, Su Zimo sent a voice transmission to Long Li with his spirit consciousness immediately. “Long Li, leave now and return to the Hornless Dragon Star to look for your mother immediately. Report everything that happened today, including everything in Dragon King Illumination’s palace truthfully!”

Su Zimo’s tone was solemn and even carried a hint of urging.

Long Li’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

Right then, a calm voice sounded from the hall.

“Who gave you permission to leave?”
