Chapter 200: Kangdal Family

~7 min read 1,294 words

The appearance of the Giant Eye made Naimi Xisi's expression turn serious; although the Eye of Power cannot project Legendary Level power, Bao Lisi is a Legendary Spellcraft Mage, and whenever he wishes he can teleport here, even a dimensional anchor cannot stop him.

Naimi Xisi realized he had to flee; the Divine Seven Ring Spell might have a chance to match a Legendary Mage, but he himself cannot defend against Legendary spells, so both would end up wounded, and the opponent could even kill him at the cost of a serious injury.

Choosing to bluff with size was also untenable; as a Legendary Mage, Bao Lisi clearly possessed extensive Monster knowledge, and the moment he saw Naimi Xisi, he identified the adult dragon by various details, completely unaffected by its terrifying 100‑meter stature.

But it's fine; if you can't beat him, can you even run away?

Just as he was about to activate Psychic Ability to flee, another Giant Eye flashing white light suddenly appeared in the sky!

"Another Eye of Power?!" Naimi Xisi was shocked; a mage who can wield the Nine Ring Prophecy Spell is rare, and the Eye of Power is an extremely rare spell—if it weren't for Juan Ce Long's innate mastery of all prophecy spells, he wouldn't have recognized it.

Two such beings emerged at once?

The two Eyes of Power spanned the sky; in the left pupil a faint door‑shaped blue light appeared, while the right pupil revealed a staff‑shaped black light.

"Don't be so grandiose, Bao Lisi; your apprentice's skill is inferior, you can only blame him," a deep, mature voice came from the newly appeared Giant Eye.

"Black Staff?" Bao Lisi was silent for a moment, then hesitantly named the owner behind the Giant Eye.

"You want to protect this dragon? He killed my apprentice!" Bao Lisi's voice grew grim.

The Black Staff's voice remained calm and relaxed: "Old buddy, don't pretend in front of me; do you really care about that apprentice? He's just a burden the Kangdal Family forced onto you."

Bao Lisi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Even if I spare him, my family won't let it go; you know, since I took on the task of opening a new continent, the family has already placed my brother in my seat on the Council."

The Black Staff snorted coldly, "The Kangdal Family? So what. To be frank, protecting him isn't my intention; I only accepted Luo Si Te's commission. The Church forces can't intervene, but if the Knowledge Church wants to protect someone in Sword Bay, the Five-member Council must also weigh its own position."

The Black Staff's words finally made Bao Lisi realize where the dragon's backing came from: "Divine Favored? No wonder."

If one asks what in this world can make Legendary strongmen wary, it's only the countless gods.

The Giant Eye looked at Naimi Xisi, coldly saying, "I won't hold you accountable for killing my apprentice, great dragon, but Yue Liu Si is dead; you will inherit his duties—go to Duzula City to forge an alliance, handle that, and I'll act as if nothing happened!"

As soon as the words fell, Bao Lisi's Giant Eye vanished, leaving only the Black Staff staring at him.

"No need to worry about Bao Lisi; he hates the Kangdal Family, yet he is a pitiful soul bound by a cursed bloodline. He gladly sees you clash with the Kangdal Family, only that"

"The Kangdal Family is not simple; rumors say they carry the blood of the Valkin Goddess among mortals, Yue Liu Si is the chieftain's son, and they will not let it go peacefully."

The Giant Eye didn't know what to say, and finally left only a "Take care" before disappearing.

Naimi Xisi hovered in the air, and after processing the information, gave a slight smirk. Though the Black Staff and Bao Lisi's words disclosed much, plainly speaking, striking the small—Yue Liu Si—will attract the big—previously it was Bao Lisi, now it's the Kangdal Family.

It's just a classic revenge plot, but that's fine; the petty Juan Ce Long loves to cut the roots, and even if the other side doesn't trouble him, when he returns to Sword Bay he will break their spine, leaving them without a desire for vengeance.

The only surprise for him was Bao Lisi's ambiguous attitude.

Even with the Black Staff's protection, a Legendary strongman's dignity cannot be insulted; if Bao Lisi wishes, he will certainly risk the Black Staff's shield to kill him, not letting him go easily. Moreover, as the Black Staff said, Bao Lisi also hates the Kangdal Family, and Naimi Xisi realized there must be some hidden secrets.

Family matters—this is perfectly normal.

The more people, the more tangled the mind; a family that can sway the highest governing body of the Am Empire clearly has deep undercurrents, and in such a situation, some melodramatic plot twists naturally arise—environment shapes the situation.

Naimi Xisi sighed, pushing the thoughts aside. He looked at the troops before him with a headache; those matters were far away. Now he faced a mission: lead this army to the distant Duzula City to fulfill the task that rightfully belonged to Yue Liu Si.

Thinking of this, he grew angrier that he hadn't properly tormented that mage; the mage could have been idly lounging in the Mage Tower enjoying servant service. If he hadn't provoked himself, causing his own death, would Bao Lisi have forced him to take the mission?

Exactly, it's that fool's fault for insisting I kill him!

The eccentric Juan Ce Long, convinced of his thoughts, angrily summoned several bolts of lightning that turned the two officers of Yue Liu Si into charred ash.

Nearly ten thousand knights stared at the scene, unable to speak; they had witnessed everything that just occurred. This dragon before them possessed terrifying power, even a Legendary Mage could not affect it!

He does whatever he wants!

Thus a group of knights knelt on the ground for a full three minutes to "appreciate" Juan Ce Long's abuse of the corpses before being summoned back.

"Ants! Keep up with my pace, don't waste my time; I have no time to play house with you. Now, immediately, mount your warhorses and set out for Duzula!"

The sky dragon roared impatiently, withdrawing its Dragon Might; the limp soldiers and warhorses were thus freed.

!

The knights gazed at the sky dragon that had become their "temporary commander," unsure whether Bao Lisi's choice was good or bad.

Duzula City, the Pyramid.

"Great Shaman, we have searched the entire city and its surroundings, yet found no trace of heretics."

Below the resplendent golden steps, a robust Ni Ke Sa Lan man in plain clothes knelt, respectfully speaking to the elder before the statue atop the steps.

The elder, facing the statue's silhouette, heard the words, slowly turned, revealing a weathered face; had Naimi Xisi been here, he would have shouted in shock.

Because he is the Great Shaman Ku Si Ke who was supposed to die at Nasca.

"Ge Lei Luo, I trust your ability; that's why I let you infiltrate beside Duzula Shiliu Shi."

"But now, I find I understand you less and less, Ge Lei Luo, do you truly still hold sincere faith in the Great Sun God?"

Ge Lei Luo's body trembled, hurriedly raising his head, "Great Shaman, Ge Lei Luo is forever loyal to our god."

"Is that so?" The old Shaman's murky eyes fixed on Ge Lei Luo for a moment, then his face relaxed, smiling, "Then that's perfect."

"I trust you, Ge Lei Luo, go, continue to infiltrate; our god needs you beside the false believer Duzula Shiliu Shi, to act at the crucial moment."
