156 Target

"Humans... Do not get in my way or you will pay." The dragon said as it hovered above the capital.

The moment it came out of the clouds, a reddish aura flew out of its body. Combined with its large body of dark scales and red lines, one can tell that it wasn't the usual dragon they heard.

Since he has the highest rank, the king was the first to talk, "We will not get on your way if you leave the area. This is the human territory, and you are in our kingdom's capital. We are merely here to protect it."

"Leave? A dragon such as me going to leave just because some puny humans told me? Although I'm not here to kill, unfortunately for you, what I seek is inside your capital."

"Then may we ask what you are seeking?" The king asked. If an item related to a dragon was stolen and is currently on the capital, then fighting to protect it will be pointless. And if the dragon was seeking another thing, depending on the value, the king can bear to give it away. He knows that the dragon is stronger than their combined force and would like to avoid fighting it.

"It's not a what but a who. I reckon you wouldn't even know the person I am seeking. Let me search for that person and I will not cause any problems. Block my way and a fight it will be."

"A person... May I ask for some time to discuss it with the others?"

"Yes, you have a minute."

And so the king gathered the other Soul Formation Cultivator. All of them already know that the most logical thing to do is to agree to the dragon's request. The only thing they will discuss is what restriction can they put on the search of the dragon.

"Your majesty, a loss of a person is better than fighting the dragon. However, we shall request to the dragon that the search should not damage the capital or cause havoc."

"Yes, that was what we were thinking. Now to tell the dragon."

The king then left the group and faced the dragon.

"We agree to your request. We would just like to ask that you do not damage the capital. We could also help you search for that person if you would allow us."

"No need. She is already on my sight" The dragon said, looking at the western side of the capital.

Zhi Li noticed that the dragon was looking towards Mu Yue and Xiao Yan. When the dragon flew, he quickly followed. It is not wise to attack first, but if the dragon's aim was one of the girls, he could at least buy time for them to escape.

On the other hand, Mu Yue has long noticed that the dragon was looking at her. The moment it appeared, she already felt some kind of connection to it. When she stared at the dragon, she somehow knew that she was the dragon's target.

It was impossible to escape, nor fight and win against the dragon. Since it was like this, she decided to just face it.

However, if the dragon landed inside the capital, some collateral might be caused. Due to this, she straight went up towards the western gate.

Xiao Yan did not know what happened for Mu Yue to quickly head outside. She saw that Mu Yue was in a hurry so she did not question her actions, at least until they will stop.

The dragon watched as it let Mu Yue go some distance away from the capital. When enough distance was reached, the dragon slowly descended.

"Mu Yue, what's the problem?" Xiao Yan asked only to see Mu Yue smiling back at her.

"I love you, Xiao Yan."

"W-well I know that but why no-" She then sensed a heavy aura behind which was slowly approaching them. She looked and saw a dark dragon staring at their direction.

Mu Yue stood in front of Xiao Yan. "May I ask if I am who you seek?"

"How surprising, did you feel it? The connection we have cannot be imitated by any other means. The only way is related to our blood. And to answer your question, yes."

"Then if it's just me, then it must only be me. May I ask that those unrelated to not be implicated?"

"That was my plan..." The dragon then spread its aura, this time, it pushed away everyone, other than Mu Yue.

"Aghh---- Mu Yue!!!" Xiao Yan was pushed some distance away. When she recovered, she immediately starts to run to Mu Yue, only to hit a red barrier.

"This barrier will not be broken by these humans. It will not let them sense anything happening inside here. Sounds, visuals, or spiritual fluctuations, nothing."
