Chapter 748: The Peerless Duo of Langya Kingdom (Second update, requesting everything)

~8 min read 1,508 words

In just a few breaths' time, the distance between the two sides was less than ten miles.

"Huh!"

Only at this moment was the Sixth-Rank Expert finally able to catch a full glimpse, only then discovering that a chain was tied to the dragon bodies of these two giant dragons, pulling a carriage.

However, compared to the size of the giant dragons, the volume of the carriage was far too small, and with the obstruction of the two giant dragons, it was only now that the Sixth-Rank Expert noticed the existence of the carriage.

"I haven't heard of any Emperor Rank passing through our Dai Kingdom?"

The Sixth-Rank Expert was baffled, yet he still let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. Originally, he had thought these were two wild Demon King-level giant dragons wanting to invade the Dai Kingdom. He hadn't expected them to have owners, and being able to make such massive Demon King-level giant dragons pull a carriage, he felt it was nine times out of ten an Emperor Rank visiting in person.

After all, giant dragons are all arrogant, let alone Demon King-level giant dragons. If it were a Pseudo-King, a Demon King-level giant dragon might not necessarily do this kind of carriage-pulling work, because they would feel it was very humiliating.

However, Li Zhangsheng's two giant dragons were different; the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon had evolved step by step from an Emperor Crocodile and did not have the arrogant temperament of a giant dragon.

As for Red Dragon Xieryasina, it actually didn't want to do this carriage-pulling work either. But firstly, Xieryasina knew very well that its current achievements were entirely dependent on Li Zhangsheng; secondly, the higher-grade Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon had already lowered its face to pull the carriage, so how could Xieryasina not let go of its pride?

Under such a misunderstanding, the Sixth-Rank Expert hurriedly instructed his subordinates to prepare to receive them with the protocol for welcoming an Emperor Rank.

When the two sides were close enough, the Sixth-Rank Expert was stunned to realize that the ones sitting in the carriage were not Emperor Ranks, but two Pseudo-Kings.

Yet, this was not the most shocking thing. Upon seeing the Temporary Contract Imprints on the heads of the two Demon King-level giant dragons, the Sixth-Rank Expert felt deeply shocked while also being hit hard.

From advancing to the Sixth Rank until now, for a full thirty-plus years, he had remained stagnant, never becoming a Pseudo-King.

As a result, the other party actually had two Demon King-level giant dragons acting as Temporary Spirit Pets, and judging by their size, they were far from what ordinary Demon King-level giant dragons could compare to. This simply refreshed the Sixth-Rank Expert's cognition.

Under normal circumstances, a Monster Tamer can temporarily contract a Spirit Beast one tier higher than themselves, but the other party can easily break free from the shackles of a Temporary Contract.

Perhaps due to the comprehension of Mystery, or perhaps the rules of heaven and earth, a Sixth-tier Beastmaster and a Pseudo-King cannot temporarily contract wild Demon King-level Spirit Beasts.

It is unknown why, but if it is a Demon King-level Temporary Spirit Pet raised by oneself, it is not included in this.

This also prevents some Sixth-Rank or Pseudo-Kings with massive family backgrounds from using Temporary Contracts to make a fuss and thereby contract a large number of Demon King-level Spirit Beasts.

It was precisely because of this that this Sixth-Rank Expert felt so shocked.

Using two Demon King-level giant dragons that clearly weren't ordinary as Temporary Spirit Pets, then their main Spirit Pets would likely be even more terrifying.

"Could they be an Imperial Child of some empire?"

The Sixth-Rank Expert was still full of doubts, but on the surface, he continued to execute the etiquette of welcoming an Emperor Rank.

The so-called Imperial Child refers to an object that the empire exhausts massive resources to cultivate. Such Imperial Children are all top-tier Heavenly Prides, and almost all of them can eventually become Emperor Ranks.

Well, top-tier Heavenly Prides piled up with resources.

Fortunately, they are Monster Tamers, without any aptitude restrictions; their strength is entirely linked to their Spirit Pets. Such Imperial Children have Emperors or Sovereigns supporting them from behind, so they naturally don't lack high-quality Spirit Beasts, and can even easily obtain scarce resources.

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the two giant dragons stopped, keeping a distance from the fortress.

Even so, the people present were still under quite a lot of pressure. It was fine from afar, but being close made them even more shocked by the sheer size of the two Demon King-level giant dragons.

The Sixth-Rank Expert adjusted his mindset and asked in a slightly respectful tone: "May I ask the names of the two Excellencies?"

Li Zhangsheng looked at the old man in front of him strangely and said: "We two come from the Langya Kingdom, preparing to head to the Kailing Empire to compete for a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm!"

"So it is from Lang... ah, the Langya Kingdom?"

The Sixth-Rank Expert widened his eyes. This was completely different from what he had imagined; what happened to the Imperial Child and Imperial Daughter?

"Apologies, apologies. My surname is Cheng, given name Long. May I ask the names of the two Excellencies?"

The Dai Kingdom and the Langya Kingdom border each other. Due to the shared runner-up status, the reputations of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen had already spread to surrounding countries, and they were even called the Peerless Duo by busybodies. Cheng Long had indeed heard the famous names of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen.

It was just that Cheng Long thought he would have no intersection with these two in this lifetime, so he hadn't specifically looked into their information.

Because he didn't know their appearance, in order to avoid accidents, Cheng Long could only say it this way.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen looked at each other, but they didn't hide their identities. Since they were passing through the Dai Kingdom, they naturally had to follow the rules of this country.

"So it is Excellency Changsheng and Excellency Bizhen. Please rest here for a while, so we may perform the duties of a host."

After learning their names, Cheng Long wore a smile on his face, wanting to host a banquet for the two.

Like most forces, Cheng Long also wanted to move his family to other countries, and the Langya Kingdom could be said to be one of the best choices.

It was just that Cheng Long's family and the Imperial Family of the Dai Kingdom were on very good terms; the previous Imperial Concubine of the Dai Kingdom came from their Cheng clan. Plus, without a good connection, it had been delayed until now.

Now that Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen had come, Cheng Long naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

Li Zhangsheng could roughly guess Cheng Long's intentions, but he didn't like socializing, nor did he want to waste time here, so he directly chose to decline.

Ning Bizhen still followed her husband's lead, but she was someone who liked peace and quiet, and was even less fond of socializing than Li Zhangsheng.

After being rejected, Cheng Long had no choice but to give up.

The two Demon King-level giant dragons set off again, continuing to fly in the direction of the Kailing Empire.

Watching the two leave, Cheng Long could only sigh lightly, but he didn't give up easily and summoned a Fifth-tier Beastmaster over.

"You immediately send a message to Prince Cheng, reporting what happened here one by one, and tell him he must befriend the two."

Prince Cheng was the son born to the previous Imperial Concubine of the Dai Kingdom, and also Cheng Long's nephew. This time, he was to represent the Dai Kingdom to head to the Kailing Empire to compete for a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Cheng Long didn't want to let go of any opportunity, and he could only hope that Prince Cheng would be capable.

After entering the territory of the Dai Kingdom, in order to avoid scaring the little ones, the two Demon King-level giant dragons had to ascend a distance, appearing in the high sky several thousand meters up.

In just a moment's time, the two Demon King-level giant dragons had flown over a hundred miles, and it looked like they were about to fly out of the Dai Kingdom.

"Huh!"

Just as they were passing above a forest, Li Zhangsheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise. From the feedback of his Mental Power, he discovered two quite bright points of light at once.

I had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday. Because it was too painful, it was hard to concentrate my Mental Power, which inevitably affected the quality. I hope everyone will be understanding. Just thinking about having to hurt for a few more days makes my heart go cold.

Why do humans have to grow wisdom teeth...
