“Teacher Ke Bei, quick, we must fly back to the Ancestral Dragon City-State as soon as possible and inform the City Lord of this matter!”

“It’s just informing, right? It’s not violating any explicit rules for dragon taming students, is it?”

Teacher Ke Bei nodded. As someone from the Ancestral Dragon City-State, he naturally preferred to see Rong Valley City triumph.

“Then Teacher can go ahead, and we’ll follow back to the academy!” Nan Ye was already urging.

The Eagle Beast Dragon’s flying speed naturally far surpassed that of the Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragon, even exceeding the army’s message delivery. If battle reports from Rong Valley City were delayed, it meant the fortress had been breached very suddenly…

“Then you all be careful on your own, and do not get involved in the warfare. You still cannot change the course of battle,” Teacher Ke Bei instructed.

As long as they didn’t leave the Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragon, these students shouldn’t face any life-threatening dangers, and they could quickly escape from this battlefield.

The speed of the Eagle Beast Dragon was so fast that it could reach the City Lord’s hands even before the battle report was delivered to the Ancestral Dragon City-State.

Ke Bei was acutely aware that Rong Valley City was only using the lake to delay. Once the floodwaters drained and the soil absorbed the water, the Riot Army would still storm into the city!

Time was of the essence; they had to fly at full speed.

Flapping its massive and powerful eagle wings, the Eagle Beast Dragon pierced through the curtain of rain, and after a few sinks and rises in the air, it left the valley, flying towards the direction of the Li Chuan Great Plain…

The mountains receded behind them, slowly sinking toward the horizon. Ke Bei’s expression was grave as he urged his Eagle Beast Dragon to increase its speed.

They had not yet left the clouds and rain, but Rong Valley City was already becoming more and more distant. With the speed of the Eagle Beast Dragon, it should only take half a day to fly back to the Ancestral Dragon City-State.

Warm red light broke through the dark clouds, shining down from the higher heavens onto this land. One could see vast expanses of the forest slowly turning the color of maple red.

Zhu Minglang subconsciously turned his head, glanced at the cloud-covered sky, glanced at the drifting mist high above, and, at some point, the dark clouds had turned into swaths of red mist, red like blazing flames, thinning the mist, and streams of white vapor appeared beneath the clouds, like a freshly uncovered boiler!

Red sky phenomenon!

Zhu Minglang had seen this scene more than once!

On his shoulder, the Ice Morning White Dragon, which had been drowsily dozing, suddenly opened its eyes. Its frosty star-like cold gaze was fixed on one of the red cloud clusters that was right above the soaring position of the Eagle Beast Dragon!

“Careful!!” Zhu Minglang shouted.

From the red fiery clouds, a Giant Dragon with gold scale light flowing over its body fiercely pounced down. Its incredibly strong body collided with the Eagle Beast Dragon with terrifying force!

Ke Bei was completely unprepared, and the Eagle Beast Dragon was like it had been hit by a fiery meteorite. Its body skidded downwards, falling towards the forest below.

The wildfire instantly ignited the surrounding trees, turning swathes of them into a wall of flames that moved with the wind.

The Eagle Beast Dragon pulled itself out of the dirt pit. As it fell, it had used its wings to protect the three of them, but its right wing had broken as a result, and as it stood up, the eagle wing could not stretch out, looking as if it might fall off its shoulder at any moment!

Stepping onto the ground, the Eagle Beast Dragon, unafraid of the fire around it, glared angrily with its sharp eagle eyes at the Red Gold Fire Dragon in mid-air.

“Does Wutu also have a Dragon Shepherd??” Ke Bei’s expression grew somber as he turned back to look at Duan Lan and Zhu Minglang.

Thankfully, the two of them were also unharmed.

Teacher Duan Lan quickly recovered from the daze of the impact, stretching out her palm and pressing it firmly downwards towards the burning forest.

Instantly, a magnificent ripple of water spread from where her palm struck!

Countless droplets sprayed out, flying towards the towering walls of fire, and the ripple’s power was so strong that it swiftly extinguished the wildfire in the forest.

At the same time, the area where the water ripple spread resembled a passage to some mysterious deep pool. The Spiritual Realm Symbol appeared clear within the ripples of the water. Luzhuang Jiaolong soared out from these ripple imprints, and for a moment, the surrounding fiery air was completely extinguished by the dragon breath, cooling down the area significantly.

Zhu Minglang and Little White were also unharmed.

Zhu Minglang’s eyes were fixed on the arrogantly extreme Gold-plated Fire Dragon, his brows furrowed deeply.

How could it be him?

Gold -plated Fire Dragon! !

“So young master Zhu is here too, what a good day this has turned out to be!” Sure enough, Luo Xiao’s voice came from the Gold-plated Fire Dragon. Ke Bei looked toward Zhu Minglang and asked, “Who is this person?”

“Gold-plated Fire Dragon, Luo Xiao—he was supposed to be stationed at Dongxu Fortress,” Teacher Duan Lan spoke up at this time.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Since he’s a fortress commander, shouldn’t he be swiftly reporting military intelligence, instead of harming people here?!” Ke Bei said angrily.

“Hahahaha, how do you think the battlefield reports got delayed? I killed all the battlefield messengers, and, of course, that includes meddlers like you!” A pathological cruelty shone through the pallor of Luo Xiao’s face.

This psychopath finally revealed his true colors!

“You… you traitor, why are you helping the Wutu Riot Army?!” Ke Bei pointed at Luo Xiao.

“Why? Why??” Luo Xiao’s face grew more ferocious.

Already in a state of madness, seeing Zhu Minglang seemed to push him to an incurable extreme!

Zhu Minglang was equally puzzled.

If Luo Xiao knew about his affairs with Li Yunzi, then he should have taken revenge directly on Zhu Minglang, with no need to kill all the battlefield messengers, plunging the entire Ancestral Dragon City’s eastern side into crisis and chaos…

Had something else happened within the Li Family?

Something must have driven Luo Xiao to such extremes, leading to such a treasonous act; it seemed as if a deep obsession of his had been completely crushed!!

“I slaved for their Li Family, yet they treated me like a dog that shouldn’t even bark. This whipping, I’ll make their entire Li Family regret it!!” Luo Xiao removed his hood, revealing his full face.

A heavy whip mark, starting from the side of his face, crossing over his ear, all the way to the back of his head—the burst flesh on the side of his face had not yet healed, fresh and coagulated blood mixed together, showing just how severe the whipping had been!

This whipping was a gift from Li Family Head, Li Ying.

After the council meeting ended, he pleaded with the Li Family Head to reconsider the matter concerning Li Yunzi and expressed his unrequited love for her.

But Li Ying’s response was to reward him with a whipping.

“Even with a tarnished reputation, she is the young miss of the Li Family. What are you? Have no delusions and don’t forget who you are. This whip is to remind you of your place, and if you again question decisions within the council hall, get out of the Li Family.”

For days, Li Ying’s words tormented him, playing over and over in his mind, torturing him while driving him to the brink of madness!
