Oathbreaker

"Kill the Dragon Emperor?" 

Alex felt his heart skip a beat when he heard those words. He stared at the man in shock, trying to discern if any of it was a joke. However, his serious face made it plenty clear that it was not.

The man intended to kill the Dragon Emperor and he would go to any length to do it.

Even if it meant killing the ruler of another continent.

"You have quite the grand ambition," Alex said. "But… I'm not sure you will be able to do it the way you are right now. You will need much higher—"

Alex paused. He was about to say that they would need a much greater cultivation base than just this, but then he remembered that was the entire reason he was captured in the first place.

If not for that, he wouldn't have been here.

"Don't worry about our situation, Your Majesty," the man said. "You will just have to stay here until we have received the grand pills we are looking for."
