Chapter 708: Seven hundred and seven, falling into a trap
“Thank you, Third Prince!” The Fox King helped himself to a cup of wine and laughed as he clinked glasses with Long Yi.
Long Yi drained the wine in his cup in one gulp, and shortly after, he felt his head begin to spin. He shook his head vigorously. He had always been able to hold his liquor well; how could he be drunk after only a few cups? Besides, he had just enhanced his cultivation.
The scene before him grew increasingly blurry. Through the haze, Long Yi saw the Tiger King and Hu Li slumped over across from him, having already passed out. He immediately understood that he’d fallen into a trap.
Angered, he glared at the Fox King, who was seated at the head of the table, “You all indeed had a scheme up your sleeve…” He had been careless, he had underestimated the Snake King and the others.
“It’s too late to realize now,” the Fox King’s expression had turned cold and indifferent, and his voice became ruthless. Because of the Dragon Clan, his people had been captured and killed; how could he not avenge them?
“Snake King… Offending the Dragon Clan… will bring you to a bad end…” After Long Yi spoke, he could hold on no longer and fainted away.
Wisps of blue smoke spiraled up, emitting a faint fragrance that suffused the entire room, leaving those who smelled it feeling refreshed and cheerful.
The Dragon King put down the book in his hand, “Has the Third Prince returned?”
“I will go and check,” said the guard, just about to step out.
Then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and looking up, they saw Long Yi entering the study.
“Father!” Long Yi approached and saluted the Dragon King.
The Dragon King nodded, “Was there anything special about today’s banquet?”
“The Snake King places great importance on She Tan; She Tan brought out the Purple Flame Fruit obtained from the Cultivation World. Also, he gave me a Space Stone. Father, this is what the Snake King asked me to bring to you when I left, and this Space Stone is also for you.” Long Yi presented a plate of Purple Flame Fruit and a Space Stone.
With an outstretched hand, the Dragon King drew the Purple Flame Fruit and the Space Stone into his grasp, “It is said that eating this Purple Flame Fruit can enhance cultivation.” He had read about the Purple Flame Fruit in the Spiritual Grass Medicine Book, but the Demon World lacked this fruit.
Long Yi nodded, “I ate one, and my cultivation was instantly enhanced.”
The Dragon King scanned Long Yi and smiled with a nod, “You must be tired; go rest.”
“Yes!” Long Yi responded respectfully, turning to leave. As he turned, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, his eyes filled with an icy chill.
The Dragon King popped a Purple Flame Fruit into his mouth, and a rush of sweetness immediately filled his mouth. Juice flowed down his throat to his limbs and marrow, and threads of Spiritual Energy coalesced into bundles of Spiritual Power, surging rapidly towards his Dantian.
The Dragon King felt waves of exhilaration as his cultivation level rose unrestrained to a new level, and he laughed heartily. It had been many years since he had increased his cultivation level; just one more level, and he could Ascend to Immortality.
At that moment, the Dragon King suddenly felt the newly gained cultivation fall away. Before he could react to what was happening, his cultivation began to plummet continuously.
The Dragon King’s face changed dramatically, but he was completely unable to stop his cultivation from declining, “Call Long Yi over…” It had to be Long Yi’s doing, but why would he do this? He was his own father.
“Yes!” The guard responded and hurried towards the door.
Before he could reach the door, a ferocious sword light flashed by, and the unguarded guard was instantly cleaved in two, his soul scattering to the winds.
