Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1282: 1286: Friend or Foe

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1286: Friend or Foe

…

“Young man, with a pack on his back, on a journey of a thousand miles full of countless hardships…”

Humming a folk song from the Fang Clan, Zhu Minglang continued on his way to his final destination, the Jun Tian Sky Capital.

After feeling the return of the Sword Spirit Dragon, the loneliness in Zhu Minglang’s heart had dissipated, and even in this completely strange and boundless world of the gods, there was nothing to fear.

Sitting by the mountain spring, Zhu Minglang took a sip of the icy water and wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand.

The Sword Spirit Dragon flew around Zhu Minglang; although it hadn’t undergone much change, Zhu Minglang could see the Red Sun Inscription on its sword body, which were the patterns of solar flares.

Though Zhu Minglang did not remember the matters of the Dragon Gate, he had no memory whatsoever of the Red Sun Inscription.

That is to say, the Sword Spirit Dragon must have been one of the first dragons to awaken, absorbing the Red Sun Inscription while braving the Nine Heavens Wilderness, becoming the Red Sun Solar Corona Dragon spoken of by the people of Jun Tian!

Red Sun Sword!

The most powerful Inscription form of the Sword Spirit Dragon now!

Zhu Minglang gently caressed the Sword Pattern filled with supreme power, feeling both unfamiliar and familiar.

Communication with the Sword Spirit Dragon was rather straightforward; it could not recount its experiences over the years to Zhu Minglang, nor could it explain how it became one of Jun Tian’s rotational suns. But Zhu Minglang could sense the hardships of its solitary struggles through the ancient Inscriptions on its sword body…

Fortunately, the divine form of every dragon was already high enough.

As long as they retreated for a few years after the Reincarnation Transformation, they could quickly become a dominant force.

As he caressed it, Zhu Minglang suddenly felt an unusual sensation through his divine sense.

Near the tip of the sword, there was a peculiar Flare Print. When Zhu Minglang touched it, he actually felt a bit of a burning pain!

No matter how powerful the Sword Spirit Dragon had become, it would not cause the slightest discomfort to its master. Thus, this strange Flare Print that felt unusual and uncomfortable had to have been branded onto the body of the Sword Spirit Dragon by someone else!

This odd Flare Print was similar to some kind of spiritual imprint, akin to the shallow mental connection between a Juvenile Spirit and a Dragon Shepherd.

“They thought you were masterless?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“Swoosh!” The Sword Spirit Dragon responded.

“Did you make some kind of agreement with that person?” Zhu Minglang continued to ask.

Th𝒾𝓈 𝐜h@p𝗍𝕖r 𝗶𝕤 p𝘰ѕƚ℮ⅆ bʏ Ҡ𝒾𝑡𝗲𝙣𝘰𝓋ҽ𝘭

“Swoosh!” The Sword Spirit Dragon replied.

“Did you become a rotational sun because of the person associated with this Flare Print?”

“Swoosh swoosh!”

Zhu Minglang could understand this.

If the Sword Spirit Dragon wandered alone, being a Sword Artifact Spirit, it would need to be in a human environment since it could not go to the wilderness to hunt for food.

Its food was metal forging.

Therefore, it must have been someone influential within Jun Tian who had reached an agreement with the Sword Spirit Dragon, making the powerful Sword Spirit Dragon into a rotational sun, thereby ensuring the Sword Spirit Dragon’s need for metal forging was met.

The Sword Spirit Dragon also served as a rotational sun while waiting for Zhu Minglang to awaken.

Only, this wait turned out to be forty or fifty years.

In the span of four to five decades, the deities who had once come into contact with the Sword Spirit Dragon had deemed it a masterless dragon.

Now that Zhu Minglang has awakened, the Sword Spirit Dragon’s disappearance without a farewell has likely caused no small amount of panic and turmoil to those gods that preside over the sun and celestial affairs.

Especially considering the upcoming year, if the Red Sun does not suspend in the Jun Tian sky, it is feared that all the peoples of Jun Tian will fall into the same kind of unease.

“They will probably come looking for you,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Swoosh swoosh!” The Sword Spirit Dragon indicated that it had no intention of returning.

“This matter requires careful, long-term planning. After all, it’s related to the lives of Jun Tian’s inhabitants; Having been their sun for decades, they’ve grown accustomed to your presence—many Immortal Clans may even be reliant on you for their standing in Jun Tian. If they learn that your true master is currently just a young man, it could bring significant trouble!” Zhu Minglang explained.

Humans are greedy.

Deities even more so.

The Sword Spirit Dragon is indeed his own.

Yet, having existed in Jun Tian for forty or fifty years as a rotational sun, the Sword Spirit Dragon has been waiting in this simple way; but unbeknownst to it, this has entangled it with a lengthy chain of Immortal Clans and God Clans.

Would they easily allow the Sword Spirit Dragon to return to him?

Especially as these individuals, once they detect that he is still in a “growing” phase, would likely stop at nothing to gain control over him and claim the Sword Spirit Dragon for themselves.

If all of Jun Tian contained only characters like Bright Moon God Bin Chou, Zhu Minglang could handle them as many as they come; no need for much consideration.

The headache lies in the fact that the Sun Corona Gods and Emperor Elders who govern Jun Tian, if they join forces, he alone with the Sword Spirit Dragon would definitely not be their match.

The most important fact being, if a minor character like Bin Chou is already considered a Bright Moon God, then there must be former rivals from a hundred years ago who climbed the Dragon Gate along with him—true big shots of the Realm of the Gods, who, upon learning of his current wandering state, would spare no effort to snuff him out in his stage of growth!

The Sword Spirit Dragon is indeed too hot to handle now.

“We will proceed as originally planned; you return first, not letting them detect my existence, and certainly not letting them know that their original master has awakened,” Zhu Minglang instructed the Sword Spirit Dragon.

“Swoosh~~ swoosh~~” The Sword Spirit Dragon was very reluctant; having waited for forty or fifty years, and finally seeing Zhu Minglang awaken from the white cocoon, it was not the least bit interested in becoming a rotational sun and wanted only to stay by Zhu Minglang’s side.

“You are quite conspicuous now, which means that our enemies from the Dragon Gate are also paying attention to you, surveilling you. The moment you disappear, they will immediately know of my presence, and they will scour the world to find me, leading us both to a deadly end,” Zhu Minglang patiently explained the grave importance to the Sword Spirit Dragon.

Zhu Minglang was relieved to see how powerful the Sword Spirit Dragon had become.

But relief was accompanied by the need to consider all possible scenarios.

He could not remember the events that had occurred at the Dragon Gate; however, if the Sword Spirit Dragon had reached this realm, it meant that those who had grudges against him at the Dragon Gate would most likely also have become dominant forces in their own right!

Originally, at the Dragon Gate Ninth Heaven, the higher the rank of the Divine Chosen, the higher their divinity.

A century later, someone like Bin Chou cannot be underestimated, not to mention those Immortal Heroes who fought to the death, battled at the Dragon Gate Summit…

These individuals, their strength is perhaps not inferior to the Sword Spirit Dragon’s.

Take for instance the other rotational suns: the Golden Crow, the Green Kirin, and the like… Their strength is comparable to the Sword Spirit Dragon’s.

As to whether they are friends or foes??

Allowing the Sword Spirit Dragon to rejoin the ranks now carries a certain risk.

It would be best to first reclaim the other Main Dragons, solidify his own strength, and then let the Sword Spirit Dragon resume its role as a rotational sun. Even if those Immortal Clans and God Clans who have monopolized the Sword Spirit Dragon feel dissatisfied, they will have no choice but to kneel down and submit!
