Chapter 407: Chapter 409 Betrayer
Zhu Minglang was fortunate not to have a poor sense of direction.

Walking through the strange forest, he soon saw the swamp he had entered before.

Looking around the edge of the swamp, Zhu Minglang found those wild grass beads.

But there weren’t enough of them, only enough for his own use, which couldn’t alleviate the problems faced by the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

Stringing the grass beads together one by one and hanging them around his neck, Zhu Minglang was contemplating his next step when he heard footsteps approaching him.

A pair of slightly chubby feet stepped on the ground, immediately causing the leaves to decay into a fragrant gas, and as Zhu Minglang looked over, he saw Dean Lv running towards him with a face full of horror!

“Dead, dead, the Great Instructor is dead!” Dean Lv seemed distraught, and upon seeing Zhu Minglang, he looked as if he had seen a savior.

“What about Han Wen?” Zhu Minglang asked instead.

He had left the island with Han Wen, but now she was nowhere to be seen.

“She betrayed the Great Instructor, it must have been her. No fourth person knew the way to Absolute Sea Demon Island; it must have been Han Wen who betrayed the Great Instructor. The people of the Han Family are insatiable, insatiable!” Dean Lv shouted angrily.

“What about the Sea-calming Bell?” Zhu Minglang continued to ask.

“She took it away. I felt something was wrong and ran in here, then a masked assassin followed me like a shadow, but I managed to shake him off…” Dean Lv said with a quavering voice.

Zhu Minglang took a deep breath.

He hadn’t expected Han Wen to betray everyone; indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover.

“Let’s not talk about this for now; we need to find more grass beads. My Heavenly Slaughter Dragon can no longer breathe normally,” Zhu Minglang told Dean Lv.

“No way??” Dean Lv’s face was filled with astonishment.

“Fighting the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, my TianSha Dragon King was also injured, and with that exotic fragrance suppressing us, it has already lost its combat power. Alas, we better hide as soon as possible. Without the TianSha Dragon King, I’m just an ordinary person who can’t do anything,” Zhu Minglang said with a look of despair.

“What should we do now!” While Dean Lv had been on the brink of tears, when he heard Zhu Minglang’s words, the expression on his face didn’t match his words at all.

Far from seeming desperate, a hint of glee appeared on his face.

Indeed, at that moment, Dean Lv stretched out his hand, summoning a Venom Crowned Red Dragon.

This Red Dragon had lantern-like eyes, and within its pupils appeared to be a fluid moving about, truly spooky!

“Then I can only rely on myself.” Dean Lv continued.

Zhu Minglang nodded and did not take particular notice as he suddenly summoned the Venom Crowned Red Dragon.

“Don’t blame me for being ruthless; blame yourself for meddling in what isn’t your business!” Suddenly, Dean Lv spoke harshly, pointing his finger and commanding the Venom Crowned Red Dragon to pounce on Zhu Minglang.

“Have you lost your mind??” Zhu Minglang feigned shock and dismay.

“Once you’re dealt with, people will only think the Great Instructor met with an accident in the Absolute Sea,” Dean Lv said venomously.

“Could it be you who betrayed the Great Instructor??” Zhu Minglang looked incredulous.

“You really are foolish. How did you cultivate to King Level?” Dean Lv said coldly.

As his voice faded, the Venom Crowned Red Dragon had already pounced in front of Zhu Minglang.

Just as the Venom Crowned Red Dragon was about to kill Zhu Minglang, the tail of the Galactic Chain dropped down suddenly and wrapped precisely around the dragon’s neck!

“Crack!!!!”

With one fierce pull, the neck of the Venom Crowned Red Dragon was twisted off, its long tongue hanging out, and its terrible eyes almost bulging out of their sockets!

It was an instant kill!

Even the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was almost strangled to death by the tail of the TianSha Dragon King, let alone the Venom Crowned Red Dragon having any chance to struggle.

With the Dragon Beast’s death, the backlash of the severed soul immediately transferred to Dean Lu’s body, turning his face the color of a pig’s liver as he looked at Zhu Minglang and the TianSha Dragon hidden in the trees…

“So you can’t reach my realm, Dean Lu,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.

“You… your dragon is already…” Dean Lu began shaking all over.

“I don’t believe a single word you said, yet you believed every word I spoke. The Great Instructor died, I saw it. His Old Sea Dragon exerted its last bit of strength to drag him to the island shrouded in strange air, to escape the murderer, but the Great Instructor still met his death.”

There was a pause, and Zhu Minglang felt a moment of sorrow for Great Tutor Lin Zhao, after all, people like Han Wen, Dean He, and Dean Lu were considered his disciples.

And these disciples, as it turned out, each harbored their own deceitful schemes.

“At first, I was very confused. Given that Great Tutor Lin Zhao was a King-level strongman, how could he be killed so easily? Even if he was ambushed, there shouldn’t be many in the Neon Sea capable of killing a Dragon King Level Great Instructor right away, until I saw you coming over. Then, I thought, the food for the Great Tutor Lin Zhao’s Dragon King was prepared by you, you provided the mounts for us to reach this island, and you left markers along the way for outsiders, which made it much more likely that they were awaiting us outside the island,” continued Zhu Minglang.

The Great Instructor died tragically.

Most likely, there was a traitor.

A Dragon King Level Strength could only let down their guard with someone they were most familiar with.

Tampering with the food to prevent the Great Instructor’s Dragon King from exerting its full strength.

Then taking advantage of when the Great Instructor was dealing with the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, to execute a sneak attack and inflict serious injury on Great Tutor Lin Zhao.

Of course, the person responsible for the death of the Great Instructor had to possess formidable power, but using such a method ensured a foolproof outcome!

Han Wen’s chances of survival were slim, yet this Dean Lu still harbored delusions of deceiving me with his ridiculous excuses…

Frankly speaking, Zhu Minglang had only been speculating initially, unable to determine the facts.

He deliberately claimed his Dragon King was also in bad shape to see what Dean Lu’s next move would be, which would give him a clear understanding.

Setting a simple trap was all it took for Dean Lu to fall right in.

Ultimately, it was because Great Tutor Lin Zhao trusted his disciples too much that he met such an end, unlike myself, who from the start never trusted anyone. Suggesting that I should retrieve the Sea-calming Bell instead of leading away the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was also out of caution. After all, one or two interactions were insufficient to truly understand a person’s nature; Zhu Minglang would not carelessly leave his back in another’s hands.

“Your Honor, spare my life, please spare my life!” Dean Lu suddenly knelt down, frightened to tears and snot.

“Who’s that person outside?” Zhu Minglang demanded.

“Yan Zhen, one of the heads of the nine major clans of the Neon Sea, the Yan Clan,” Dean Lu replied.

“What’s the deal with the Sea-calming Bell?” Zhu Minglang asked.
