Chapter 2029: Chapter 2025: There Are Other Dragon Realm People
"If I don’t receive an order, I will never let this Sin Dragon go." the Demon leader said.
The red‑faced Blood Demon, Jing Hong, looked extremely ugly as he said, "Are you saying you won’t even listen to my orders anymore?"
"I need an order." the Demon leader said.
"Can’t you see who I am? Get lost!"
As he spoke, Jing Hong stepped forward and slapped that red‑faced Blood Demon straight in the face.
The Demon leader took the slap, let out a miserable scream, then fell to the ground, looking extremely wretched. He stared at Jing Hong, a gleam flickering in his eyes.
Jing Hong just said coldly, "You dare block me without an order—am I nothing in your eyes? I am the order. Can’t you see that?"
At this moment, the Demon leader immediately knelt on the ground and said to Jing Hong, "Sir, I... I was wrong."
"Stay kneeling. Until I leave, don’t get up." Jing Hong said coldly.
Then.
He walked ahead.
Tang Zhong dragged the Azure Dragon and followed behind.
This time they had indeed left that place, but Tang Zhong felt this was just too abnormal.
First of all, just now when Tang Zhong saw that Demon leader raise his head to look at Jing Hong, there was some doubt in his eyes, and a kind of intent to make a move.
Later, after taking that slap, it was like he’d received some sort of instruction—he immediately changed.
Tang Zhong really felt it was strange, but for now, getting the Azure Dragon out was all that mattered.
He deliberately glanced back, afraid these Demon leaders were playing the long game, but when he turned around at this moment, he found there wasn’t a single person tailing them.
That instantly put Tang Zhong at ease. Looked like they really had managed to cow these Demons this time.
Jing Hong, Tang Zhong, and the Azure Dragon had already left the transport Demon Star.
Jing Hong turned back and looked at Tang Zhong. "Tell me, where is Ling Xing now? I need to find her."
"She’s in hiding." Tang Zhong said.
Right now he couldn’t sense any trace of Ling Xing’s aura nearby. It seemed Ling Xing had left here, most likely afraid of being discovered by others, so she’d deliberately pulled away.
However, Tang Zhong figured that even if Ling Xing left, she would definitely leave something behind so he could find her.
He came to the place where he had parted from Ling Xing before. At the time he had told Ling Xing to hide there, so if Ling Xing really wanted to leave, she would surely leave something at this spot.
Tang Zhong lowered his head and looked, and saw a pool of Dragon spittle on the ground.
Dragon spittle was a Dragon’s saliva, something with a fixed scent.
This was probably the mark Ling Xing had left behind.
Tang Zhong was about to squat down and feel the aura in this Dragon spittle.
Who knew Jing Hong would snap, "Back off, let me do it. This Dragon spittle is Ling Xing’s. Only I have the right to smell it—who the hell are you?"
Tang Zhong’s face suddenly darkened. What did that mean?
"This is a mark Ling Xing left for me. What does it have to do with you?" Tang Zhong refused to back down.
Right, this was a mark Ling Xing had left for him—what did it have to do with you, Jing Hong?
In any case, Tang Zhong felt uncomfortable, really uncomfortable.
Jing Hong’s face looked awful as he glared at Tang Zhong. "You’re just a Lost Dragon. What right do you have to talk to me like that? Do you know who I am? Huh?"
His voice exploded in a roar, completely an interrogation.
"Does that have anything to do with me?" Tang Zhong said coldly.
"Forget it. I’m an Orthodox Dragon. Wasting time here talking nonsense with a Lost Dragon like you is beneath me. I’m going to find Ling Xing." Jing Hong said.
Then he followed the trail of the Dragon spittle forward.
Tang Zhong was furious. If it weren’t for the fact that the other guy was a Dragon, he would have already killed him on the spot.
He hoisted the Azure Dragon onto his back and followed after Jing Hong. Right now, finding Ling Xing was still the most important thing.
They walked very far.
On another already‑shattered planet.
As soon as Tang Zhong and the others landed.
Ling Xing walked out from behind a giant tree, her face full of excitement. "Tang Zhong, did you get the Azure Dragon out?"
Tang Zhong had just opened his mouth to speak.
But Jing Hong beat him to it, looking at Ling Xing and saying, "Ling Xing, it’s really you."
Only then did Ling Xing see Jing Hong. The expression on her face vanished as she said, "Who are you?"
Then Ling Xing looked at Tang Zhong. "Do you know who he is? Why is he with you?"
Tang Zhong frowned. What was going on? Wasn’t Jing Hong supposed to be Ling Xing’s fiancé?
How could Ling Xing not even recognize Jing Hong now? That only left one explanation: this Jing Hong wasn’t Ling Xing’s fiancé at all—Jing Hong was lying.
Jing Hong stepped forward. "Princess, you... you might not know me, but I know you. My name is Jing Hong, I’m from the Dragon Realm. When you led the people of the Dragon Realm out to search for the Lost Dragon, I was right there beside you."
"I’ve always admired you, Princess—you’re a heroine, someone we male Dragons all look up to. Later, catastrophe struck the Dragon Realm, something happened to the Dragon Emperor, and the Dragon Realm splintered into pieces. Now, the people of the Dragon Realm are drifting outside. As one of the main pillars of the Dragon Realm, I’m currently leading other Dragons of the Dragon Realm, waiting for your return, Princess, to lead us in restoring the Dragon Realm."
After hearing this, Ling Xing looked at Jing Hong. "You have other people of the Dragon Realm under you?"
"Of course I do. I have many people of the Dragon Realm here. The Azure Dragon is one of ours." Jing Hong said.
Ling Xing looked toward the Azure Dragon, wanting to ask if that was true.
Because where there is war, there is infiltration.
People you don’t know, whose background you don’t know—you have no idea which side they’re really on.
Ling Xing wanted to ask the Azure Dragon because the Azure Dragon had been captured by people of the Blood Demon Realm, and the Blood Demon Realm had no reason to put on a show like this.
So the Azure Dragon could be tentatively classified as a good Dragon.
"Azure Dragon, let me ask you, is what he said true?" Ling Xing asked.
The Azure Dragon had been tortured to the brink of death, but he still had one breath left. He didn’t speak, but he did nod.
Hearing it from the Azure Dragon’s mouth, Ling Xing was finally reassured. She looked at Jing Hong and said, "Come, take me to see the other compatriots."
"Yes, Princess." Jing Hong said.
"Follow me."
Ling Xing followed behind Jing Hong.
Tang Zhong carried the Azure Dragon.
He felt there was something fishy about all this, because everything had gone too smoothly, especially the part where Jing Hong opened the chains on the Azure Dragon. That was way too suspicious.
The two of them had attacked together and still couldn’t break those chains, yet Jing Hong alone had managed to open them.
And adding in that Demon leader’s odd behavior just now.
All of this looked even more suspicious.
Tang Zhong thought it over but couldn’t figure out an answer. This was something he would have to watch out for. For now, he would follow Ling Xing and see whether there really were other people of the Dragon Realm.
If there were, then maybe he’d wronged Jing Hong.
