Chapter 114: Chapter 115 Supreme Court Courtyard Continent

Translator: 549690339

In accordance with the old grandmother of the Li Family, Nan Lingsha was ultimately assigned to the power of the Family Door.

After all, the current Orderer of the Li Chuan Continent was a member of the Zhu Gate who could easily annihilate the Sect Palace, and could make all covetous forces of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent obediently follow the rules. In the old grandmother’s view, the Zhu Gate might be a reliance for the Ancestral Dragon City-State in the future.

Therefore, the old grandmother’s intention was since Zhu Minglang and Li Yunzi took to each other at first sight and were mutually attracted, she preferred to finalize the marriage straightforwardly. Considering that Li Yunzi could not leave the battlefield, Nan Lingsha would temporarily fill in for her.

The Li and Nan families had always valued marital alliances, and the old grandmother was a straightforward person. She simply wanted to bind the Li and Nan families with a prestigious Family Door of the Supreme Court Continent before the battlefield collapsed and the cities became indefensible, to avoid a future catastrophe!

That’s why, just before departing, the old grandmother was resolute about getting married.

Zhu Minglang firmly disagreed with this absurdity, even as a pretense; it was unacceptable for Nan Lingsha to marry in Li Yunzi’s stead.

Likewise, Nan Lingsha was someone who could not be restrained by anyone.

She wouldn’t mind adding another coffin and burying the old grandmother if she were forced to do such a thing with Zhu Minglang.

Nan Lingsha was probably the person who cared the least if the entire Ancestral Dragon City-State became enslaved. She saw the Nan Clan as a burden, and her affection for the academy ran deeper than for the Nan Clan.

That’s why when the Sect Palace was destroyed, she didn’t appear at the clan meeting right away but was at the Dragon Taming Academy instead.

After some discussion, the old grandmother finally gave up on the idea of marriage, but still insisted that Nan Lingsha join Zhu Minglang’s humble Dragon Shepherd Team as a member of the Family Door.

In their team, some Lord Level or higher Dragon Shepherds would often have Divines and Mortals among them, and the competition for power was not considered a one-man fight. Since the old grandmother had no affection for the Dragon Taming Academy, she naturally hoped that Nan Lingsha would go to the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent as a member of the Family Door.

Given that the old grandmother’s years were numbered and she might not have much time left, Nan Lingsha joined Zhu Minglang’s team, albeit reluctantly, to allow her to live out her final years in peace.

Passing through the Lingxiao City-State, all they saw was chaos. Many of the rivers outside the cities were practically red with blood, and bodies were stacked by the roads like haystacks.

Wild dogs roamed in packs, while carrion crows circled above. The Lingxiao City-State had clearly failed to withstand Rui Country’s army, and the laws of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent did not protect this place, leaving human life to be worth less than straw.

Many people from the Westland, Sect Palace City, and Lingxiao City-State were fleeing eastward, hoping to enter the territory of the Ancestral Dragon

City-State for some protection. The question was whether Ancestral Dragon City-State was willing to offer them this life-saving refuge.

For those left in lawless lands, the end was tragic: either death or enslavement. The people of Lingxiao City-State probably never dreamed such a day would come.

After passing through Lingxiao City-State, they arrived in the Westland.

The Westland was an even greater hell on earth. Rampant looting by the army, unbridled brutality, division of power, and inhumane atrocities. The Westland, with no city-states of its own, seemed like a primitive tribe trampled mercilessly by a more powerful national army. To survive was already a stroke of luck, let alone retaining any dignity…

Upon witnessing these scenes, several members of Duan Changqing’s team could hardly believe their eyes.

The difference between heaven and hell lay just beyond Long Gorge Mountain. Although the citizens of Ancestral Dragon City-State lived in fear, they still managed to lead normal lives. But look at Lingxiao City-State and the Westland…

Was this the fate of the weak and backward?

“A few months ago, people were condemning the Female Monarch for constantly starting wars, especially the citizens of the South Nation who hated her, thinking she was a reincarnated witch, brutal and excessive. Probably by now, all of them are on their knees thanking her for holding Long Gorge Mountain. Without Li Yunzi defending it, countless cities and city-states on the Li Chuan Plain would have ended up like this!” Bai Hongbo sighed deeply.

“Our vision has always been too shortsighted. When Wutu appeared, many leaders were arrogant, acting with impunity in Wutu, enjoying the twisted pleasure that such recklessness brought. Only Li Yunzi aimed to establish order

there…’

Order!

They were now desperate for that order.

With order in place, although life and safety couldn’t be 100% guaranteed, at least people wouldn’t be treated worse than livestock.

“I just hope Ancestral Dragon City-State can endure until the day when order is established.”

“Mav heaven bless Ancestral Dragon City-State.’

“Nowadays, it’s not heaven that’s protecting Ancestral Dragon City-State, but the Female Monarch.”

“The citizens of the Ancestral Dragon City have always regarded the Female Monarch as divine.”

Without lingering in the war-torn lands, among their group many were esteemed teachers from the academy, pitying the common people. Yet, at that moment, they could only turn a blind eye…

There wasn’t much they could do; they had to continue moving forward, to establish order for the Li Chuan Continent.

Upon reaching West Cliff, the molten lava continuously discharged vast amounts of heat into the surroundings, the flame-storms swirling like towering red serpents, peering down disdainfully at the forlorn Westland territory.

Through West Cliff Corridor, armies surged in, braving certain risks to their lives, They seemed unwilling to feed on leftovers.

There were also many Divines and Mortals and Dragon Shepherds who traversed the corridor, exploring this new land.

Even though watched over by Orderers, it didn’t prevent them from their explorations of these extraordinary mountains and peculiar lands. Besides, the watchers couldn’t surveil the entire continent. They wouldn’t attack some big city-states, but preying on the smaller cities was still lucrative!

Many incidents, despite knowing they would happen and that many would be trampled underfoot, were beyond anyone’s control. Not everyone is like Li Yunzi, waging war for the sake of establishing order.

Upon arrival at West Cliff, where the land is about to extend into the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, a group of people are clearing the bodies scattered across the scorched earth.

These bodies are not all human; there is also a large number of dragon carcasses.

From some of the clothing, it seems the deceased Dragon Shepherds were from the Li Chuan Continent, and it was clearly the people of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent who killed them.

“You too wish to go to the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent?”

“Do you roll back on your own, or will you end up like them, leaving your life here?”

A man accompanied by a yellow snake approached Zhu Minglang and his group. The yellow snake had horns, no limbs, and a pair of lantern-sized eyes that stared down anyone who dared to pass through the corridor.

It seemed that a portion of the Dragon Shepherds wanted to enter the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent but were killed in the attempt.

This corridor is one-way; the people from Li Chuan Continent are not allowed to set foot in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, just as the people of Wutu were once forbidden from entering Li Chuan Plain!

All who tried to force their way through were killed, and among the intruders, many were Dragon Shepherds!

“Zhu Minglang, do you have anything to prove your identity as a citizen of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, like a clan waist token?” Dean Duan Changqing asked.

“No, do you, Dean?” Zhu Minglang said with a wry smile.

After thinking for a while, Dean Duan finally nodded and said, “I don’t know if this counts.”

With that, Dean Duan opened his palms towards the sky, and one could see beams of light, like spears of a thousand feet, piercing down fiercely.

Within the radiance, a golden dragon emerged, its lengthy body swimming leisurely through the harsh sunlight, while above, its dragon might blazed like flame, compelling onlookers into a panic-stricken prostration on the ground.

The Sauron Dragon of Thousand Rays!!

At this moment, what Dean Duan Changqing summoned was indeed a true Dragon King, with its golden scales and five claws, whiskers, and heavenly horns, every aspect displaying the Azure Dragon’s nobility and might!

“I wonder if this allows passage?” Dean Duan Changqing stepped forward, looking eye to eye with the man accompanied by the snake-like Dragon Beast, calmly asking.

The man with the snake-like Dragon Beast stood rooted to the spot. His Dragon Beast, which had just slain many Dragon Beasts, was now curled up and trembling, completely suppressed by the dragon might, losing even the will to fight.

“You may… you may. Dragon Herding Sanctifier, please forgive my earlier rudeness. After all, we thought you were also from the Li Chuan Continent,” the man with the yellow snake hurriedly said.

“We come from Li Chuan Continent,” Dean Duan declared.

The man with the yellow snake widened his eyes, looking incredulous, and after a while, he managed a forced smile and said, “The honor of a Dragon Herding Sanctifier knows no borders. Please, honored Sanctifiers, continue on your way.”

After passing through the corridor, indeed there were no further obstructions from the Dragon Shepherds of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, for a

Dragon Monarch Level was an extremely prestigious figure among all parties.

Zhu Minglang glanced at Dean Duan, then at the yellow snake man who dared not show any arrogance.

Strength truly is the only path to survival.

Dean Duan’s Dragon King was the qualification for passage through everything!

Having traversed the extremely hot corridor of the great land, they beheld a vast expanse of hills and sea.

The sea was a mix of the Void Sea and magma, some of which flowed into valleys, forming abyss-like terrifying lakes, and some cascaded towards faults and fissures created by the collision of land masses, forming fearsome subterranean waterfalls…

Collapsed mountain ranges were also visible, albeit fragmented and shattered. Clearly, despite the cushioning effect of the Void Sea, there were still tremendously terrifying disturbances in the Earth’s veins, rendering mountains unrecognizable as mountains, seas not like seas, valleys that weren’t valleys, a landscape so ravaged beyond recognition!

Beyond this shattered terrain, the territory of Rui Country finally appeared before them, the first sight being a vast highland prairie.

Above the highland, giant birds circled.

Within the prairie, herds of beasts roamed.

Most of these giant birds and wild beasts had already reached the cultivation base of Demon cultivators. Without some strength, just moving around would be a very difficult task.

Near the highlands, their group finally saw the first city, a city seemingly composed of seven or eight scattered towns surrounding a prairie lake with a ten-mile radius…

“It seems not much different from our Ancestral Dragon City’s towns. I thought the city walls would be sky-high, the buildings made of gold, and each person walked with the wind like immortals, ” Fang Niannian curiously observed the first city they saw in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent and then expressed her disappointment.

Zhu Minglang and Dean Duan both laughed.

It’s the same, indeed.

Ordinary people are still ordinary, living in city buildings; could it be that they should have three heads and six arms, with cities like the heavenly court’s palaces??

“Some places in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent are indeed backward, not even comparable to Ancestral Dragon City!” Zhu Minglang said.

“Speaking of which, Zhu Minglang, what status does your family hold in this land, and do you have any say within your family?” Bai Hongbo inquired..
