Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1465: 1469 Being Targeted

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1469 Being Targeted

Walking towards the Golden Crow God City, Zhu Minglang was passing through the Imperial Palace’s forest heading to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

For some reason, ever since Zhu Minglang returned to the City of Ten Thousand Miles Heaven, he felt a lingering sense of foreboding.

This wasn’t just about Ji Yuanye trying to overthrow the Dragon Shepherd’s rule over Jun Tian; it was more about a divine perception attained after reaching a certain cultivation base.

There were whispers around his ears.

Zhu Minglang couldn’t make out what they were saying, but it seemed to be directed at him.

Subconsciously, Zhu Minglang raised his head to observe the Golden Crow sun hanging high in the sky.

Suddenly, a sharp and blinding light flashed into his eyes, making Zhu Minglang feel as if his pupils were scorched by the sunlight. The stabbing pain hit him immediately, forcing him to close his eyes.

Quickly, the surroundings seemed like a cold tide was pounding towards him. When Zhu Minglang’s sight returned to normal, the surrounding forest looked the same as before, yet it felt like he had walked into another world. The flowers, trees, and mountains appeared as false backdrops, and the sky looked like a lifeless painting…

Zhu Minglang immediately heightened his vigilance.

He gazed towards the Spiritual Mountain outside the city. It was the seat of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but for some reason, the pavilion had disappeared, and he seemed to have stumbled into an enchanted maze. No matter how fast he moved, even flying on clouds, he couldn’t easily escape this forest!

“Screeeeeeeeech!!!!!!!!!”

A piercing screech rang out, and suddenly, a massive Flame God Bird appeared in the long sky. Its fiery aura was so intense that it turned the earth into a terrifying sea of flame.

The high-temperature flames scorched the soil, and the flowers and trees swayed eerily in the inferno, showing no signs of turning to ash!

The world abruptly turned crimson; the sky and earth, that arrogant divine bird opened its wings, hovering above Zhu Minglang with a posture of both disdain and majesty!

“Golden Crow?”

Zhu Minglang was quite astonished.

This Flame God Bird was clearly the Golden Crow.

But the Golden Crow was supposed to be on its rotational duty; how could it descend to the human world? Such actions are absolutely not allowed!

Unless, this was a unique ability of the Golden Crow; it could conjure a Heavenly Soul Incarnation during its rotation!

The Flame God Bird bore all the characteristics of the Golden Crow. Having fought with it, Zhu Minglang knew this all too well.

Yet atop this Golden Crow incarnation stood a man garbed in a Cyan Yellow Heavenly Robe, with a mane of ethereal green hair and eyes that burned like torches.

Th𝑖𝙨 ₡h𝑎p𝘵𝕖r ḭṡ p𝐨𝘴𝗍ℯ𝑑 b𝖞 Ḱ𝚒𝑡є𝘯ℴⱴҽ𝙡

The scorching light just now came not from the flames of the Golden Crow incarnation, but from his eyes!

The God’s Light radiating from him was utterly brilliant, in no way inferior to the blazing sun above.

That ominous premonition emanated from this person; Zhu Minglang didn’t even recognize him, yet the hostility he projected was exceedingly strong!!

An enemy from the Dragon Gate??

Zhu Minglang had no recollection whatsoever.

“Will you confess yourself, or shall I do it myself?” The man looked down from above, as if an immortal god addressing a rural mortal.

“Who are you, and why are you intercepting me here?” Zhu Minglang demanded.

“I possess the divine pupils from birth, capable of seeing all the world’s states, and even seeing a calamity-inflicting individual like you, attacking the Golden Crow in the sky, pulling out its divine tail; who gave you, this rat, the courage!!” The man’s tone intensified.

“The Southern Heavenly Emperor Lao, Hong Yue?” Zhu Minglang asked tentatively.

“Will you confess yourself, or shall I do it myself!” Southern Heavenly Emperor Lao Hong Yue said coldly.

“Without evidence, why blame me for the Golden Crow’s lost tail?” Zhu Minglang chuckled.

Never would he have thought, that he had caught the attention of such a big shot.

It seems he underestimated these Emperor Elders.

Their powerful divine sense could lock onto anyone they wished to find in the complex world.

As long as it was done, traces would remain; he thought he had perfectly covered up the attack on the Golden Crow but was unexpectedly still tracked by Southern Heavenly Emperor Lao.

He ought not to have wandered out aimlessly, as he would eventually get caught.

However, one fortunate aspect was that this Southern Heavenly Emperor Lao still hadn’t realized his true intention.

If he detected the plan to steal the Red Sun, the trouble would be much greater.

“Do you think I need to discuss evidence with you!” Hong Yue stated.

“Everything requires a basis. Otherwise, if I say you’ve betrayed the Human Race and consorted with demons, how would you defend yourself?” Zhu Minglang countered.

“It seems you have no intention of repenting. Once in the Heavenly Prison, contemplate your actions carefully; amidst severe punishment, think clearly about the attitude required to answer my questions.” Hong Yue said icily.

No more words were needed; Hong Yue was already planning to make a move on Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang was also ready to respond.

Since it wasn’t the Golden Crow true body coming, there was room for negotiation; this Southern Heavenly Emperor must be most proud of the Golden Crow.

“Emperor Hong, long time no see!”

At this moment, another voice came from within the forest.

Earlier, Zhu Minglang noticed that besides himself, there wasn’t a single insect or bird in this forest, making it evident that he had stepped into an illusionary trap set by the opponent.

Many deities, when using divine arts, would isolate the surroundings from the real world to prevent the powerful divine power from affecting innocent people, and also to trap the person they intended to deal with.

The sudden voice was from someone forcibly intruding, indicating this person was no ordinary wielder of power.

Looking toward the voice, Zhu Minglang saw Zhu Heavenly Officer approaching at a leisurely pace with an Ancient Coiling Dragon following behind. This Coiling Dragon was draped in crystal helmet god armor, looking remarkably formidable!

“I am here to apprehend a criminal. Outsiders keep out!” Southern Heavenly Emperor Hong Yue clearly recognized Zhu Heavenly Officer, and he spoke unceremoniously.

“You’re engaging in battle at the base of my Divine Weapon Pavilion’s mountain, and you didn’t notify me? If it truly is some malevolent demon, I, Zhu Heavenly Officer, could offer my humble assistance. Let me see who dares provoke Jun Tian Hong Heavenly Emperor…” Zhu Heavenly Officer was saying as he walked to Zhu Minglang’s side, “Huh, why is it you?”

Zhu Minglang looked utterly embarrassed; could Zhu Heavenly Officer’s acting get any more exaggerated?

“It appears to be a misunderstanding; this is my child. He must have just returned from an outing. Emperor Hong, have you mistaken the criminal? My child has always been upright and virtuous. On ordinary days, he just raises dragons, fights fierce beasts, and flirts with beautiful fairies; he’d never commit atrocious acts!” Zhu Heavenly Officer righteously declared.

“Really? Seems like you’re all in on it? This is Jun Tian, not your little Zhu Tian. Your Zhu Tian Earth Immortal is but a small Temple God here! The Golden Crow is the head of the sun; any offense is a soul-slaying crime. Pavilion Master Zhu, think carefully; for one irredeemable young man, will you sacrifice the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion?” Southern Heavenly Emperor Hong Yue sneered coldly, clearly not considering the Divine Weapon Pavilion with much regard.
