Chapter 1053: Gathering
The golden dragon king’s body suddenly shone brightly, and he quickly transformed into his human form. Despite his old age, he maintained the appearance of a young man in his twenties, characterized by a handsome face and waist-length golden hair. His figure was quite tall and sturdy, with a golden robe covering his body and a golden crown on his head.
The other mythical beasts also changed to their human form, and the azure dragon immediately asked him. “Are we really going to wage a war with those four evil mythical beasts now, Lord Wang Jinlong?”
“Yes, we will wage war with them soon, Qing Long.” Wang Jinlong then stretched his right hand forward, and several golden balls appeared on his palm. “Before that, I want some of you to follow these golden balls, especially since many of those heretics are chasing our younger generations, so you must save them as soon as possible and bring them back here.”
“Yes, Lord!”
After that, the mythical beasts with the fastest speed immediately followed the golden balls, which had already shot in various directions. Wang Jinlong then spoke to Qing Long again. “You may not know it yet, but some vermilion birds have already arrived in these upper realms. One of them is on his way here, and he is accompanied by a flame dragon and a lightning qilin.”
“Huh?” Qing Long turned to his king in surprise. “Did they come from the supreme realm?
“Indeed, they came from the supreme realm, and their cultivation has reached the supreme god realms. I don’t know if they are willing to help us, but they will be a great help to us.” Wang Jinlong’s answer made Qing Long even more surprised. “It was Ye Xixuan and Wu Gui who led them here, so you shouldn’t be surprised if they know our location.”
“Ye Xixuan and Wu Gui, huh?” Qing Long muttered under his breath. “We ordered them to spread out to different realms to find the successor of the primordial chaos dragon, but they ended up gathering together, so we’ll have to punish them later.”
“Hahaha.” That made Wang Jinlong laugh. “Hey, they were childhood friends, and they were almost inseparable. Moreover, they weren’t staying together because they were relaxing, but they had just come out of the mysterious tower, so you don’t have to blame them.”
Qing Long immediately turned to Wang Jinglong. “Why did they go to the mysterious tower? I know they want to become strong, but they should be more focused on carrying out the tasks we gave them, especially since the successor of the primordial chaos dragon is very important to us mythical beasts, and we will rise again under his leadership.”
“Old Qing, I can understand your intention because I also thought the same thing, but you are too rigid and strict.” Qing Long raised his eyebrows at Wang Jinlong, causing him to shake his head. “Anyway, you should think about it again.
Ye Xixuan and Wu Gui are not people who would abandon their duties just like that, so I am sure that they have a special reason for doing so, and we will find out their reasons after they arrive here.”
Qing Long nodded in agreement with Wang Jinlong. “You are right; they are always serious about doing everything, so they probably do have a special reason for that.”
Wang Jinlong then looked into the distance and narrowed his eyes. “It appears that we will have some important guests, and one of them is our old friend, Old Qing. I wasn’t expecting her to survive their deadly attack, but her injuries haven’t fully healed, leaving her dependent on certain items for survival. Moreover, she has an extraordinary husband, and his cultivation is on par with mine.”
“Who is the woman you are referring to, Lord?” Qing Long asked in confusion, especially since most of their old friends had died during the first beast war, and the remaining ones had always lived with them in hiding.
Unlike Wang Jinglong, Qing Long did not have the ability to sense the presence of beasts from so far away, especially since that ability belonged solely to the golden dragon king.
“Feng Huang.” Qing Long’s eyes widened in shock as soon as Wang Jinlong said that name, and his body trembled violently with excitement.
Back then, all of them witnessed Feng Huang charging at the four evil mythical beasts by herself after the ice phoenixes were slaughtered by them, and she also used all her strength to fight them all at once, including burning her ice phoenix bloodline. Moreover, the four of them managed to land a heavy blow on her, so they always thought that she was dead, but she was still alive.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a black shell on his back approached them, and he asked Wang Jinglong directly. “Is that true, Lord? Is Feng Huang really still alive? How could she have survived those attacks?”
“Wu Juxing, I don’t need to lie to you all, right?” Wang Jinlong then pointed in another direction. “Feng Huang and the other three are on their way here, and they will arrive in a few minutes. If my guess is correct, her husband saved her when she was stranded in this outer space, and he treated her injuries so she could survive death.
Although she has not fully recovered, her cultivation has reached the immortal king now. Unfortunately, I can’t detect the presence of the fire phoenixes, and they seem to be still in hiding. Anyway, they brought one of our arch enemies with them, and they have already crippled his cultivation, so he is no longer a threat to us.”
“Who is the person you are referring to, Lord?” A young woman in her mid-twenties inquired as she moved towards their side.
“Hahaha.” Wang Jinlong laughed before answering the woman. “You’ll find out that person’s identity in a while, Huo Qilin.”
“Hmm?” Wang Jinlong’s answer made Huo Qilin and others raise their eyebrows.
However, a flying artifact suddenly appeared before their eyes, which shocked them, especially since its speed was extremely fast, and they could not sense the aura of its passengers.
The first to descend from the flying artifact was Long Tianhuo, and he brought the ice coffin where Feng Huang was resting with him, causing all of them to become overjoyed as soon as they saw the ice phoenix.
Feng Huang smiled at her old comrades’ reactions, and she calmly spoke to them. “Thousands of years have passed; I never thought that I would be able to meet you guys again. Back then, I was resigning to my fate because I was stranded in this vast universe with serious injuries, and I thought I would die then.
Fortunately, fate said otherwise, and fate didn’t let me die that quickly, so I was able to meet you guys again today.”
“Feng Huang!” Huo Qilin shouted loudly as she flew towards them, but Long Tianhuo stopped her, causing her to frown at him. However, she immediately realized that he was stronger than Wang Jinlong, so she immediately calmed herself down, and then she asked the ice phoenix. “Who is this man?”
“Haha.” Feng Huang chuckled. “Shouldn’t you already know his identity, Huo Qilin? He is my husband, Long Tianhuo. Back then, he accidentally found me when I was about to die, and he took me to the supreme realm to heal my injuries. Over the years, he has taken great care of me, and he has always accompanied me by my side without caring about his personal affairs.
He eventually melted my cold heart, so I decided to accept him as my husband.”
Huo Qilin nodded in understanding before looking at Long Tianhuo. “Thank you; I’m truly grateful that you found him at the right time. Otherwise, we would have lost our best sister, and the ice phoenix race would also be extinct from this universe.” freewebnovel.cσ๓
“Ha ha.” Long Tianhuo responded to Huo Qilin’s words with a laugh. “You don’t need to thank me; I just did what I had to do at the time. Fate arranged everything, and I am grateful for finding her at the right time, which led to me having the best wife in this universe.”
“No matter what, we still have to thank you for saving Feng Huang.” Wang Jinlong spoke as he moved before them, followed by the other mythical beasts, who were gazing at the ice phoenix with a sense of relief. “Why didn’t your two friends come down to meet us?”
After hearing that, Huo Qilin and the others immediately looked towards the flying artifact, and Tang Chen quickly brought Yue Mengyi before them.
Their expressions turned serious as soon as they saw Yue Mengyi, and they looked at her with serious gazes. “Lord, this woman-”
“Yes.” Wang Jinlong immediately nodded to them and asked Tang Chen a question. “Your wife is a spirit, right? Moreover, she is not an ordinary spirit, and her ice element is even stronger than Feng Huang’s.”
“That’s right.” Tang Chen confirmed Wang Jinlong’s guess with a nod. “My wife is a spirit born from the coldest ice, but forgive me for not being able to explain her identity in detail to all of you.”
“That’s okay.” Huo Qilin and the others nodded in agreement with Wang Jinlong, and they were also not people who liked to pry into other people’s secrets. “How did you guys capture Hundun? I know you guys are strong, especially you, Long Tianhuo. However, that ugly pig is too cunning, and he was able to summon his three brothers’ avatars, so I’m curious about that.”
“Huh?” Qing Long and the others were shocked to hear Wang Jinlong mention Hundun, one of their arch enemies. “Did you guys really manage to capture that pig?”
