Chapter 1138: A Show of Compassion
An Lin put the deceased evil dragon’s storage ring into his own storage ring.
He had given away the opportunity to kill the evil dragon, but he couldn’t give away the spoils of war.
Ao Mingyu slowly came to his senses and stood up before turning to An Lin and extending a deep bow. “Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.”
It was all thanks to An Lin that he was able to survive and successfully avenge his dao partner.
“This is my storage ring. Please accept it.” Ao Mingyu willingly handed over his storage ring.
An Lin accepted the storage ring, refined it, took the two hundred and thirty vital stones within it, then returned it to Ao Mingyu.
“Mr. An Lin, what are you…” Ao Mingyu took back his storage ring and stared at An Lin with incredulity.
An Lin had once chased the Dragon King all the way to the Dragon Court in order to rob him, but he was only taking the spirit stones from his storage ring?
“I told you I’ll only need a bit of compensation. You can keep the weapons and pills. After all, you still have to survive the two days here,” An Lin said with a smile.
Ao Mingyu opened his mouth. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you treating me with such kindness?”
Why?
An Lin thought about this for a moment. They had been enemies in the past, but An Lin was willing to help Ao Mingyu mostly because of Xiaolan’s blood ties with the Dragon Court.
Even though Xu Xiaolan refused to acknowledge these blood ties, the fact of the matter was that her aunt-in-law had just been killed. He couldn’t just stand by idly and watch, so he decided to give him a hand.
Of course, he couldn’t tell him that.
An Lin clasped his hands behind his back before replying with a justified expression, “Hasn’t the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas and the Four Nine Immortal Sect already formed an alliance?
“Over half of the Dragon Court Return to Void Stage mighty figures have expressed goodwill toward the Four Nine Immortal Sect. When the Four Nine Immortal Sect needed money, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas donated to us in our time of need. This is also a gesture of goodwill! As such, when someone from the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas is in trouble, I have to stand up for them as the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect…”
An Lin elaborated with a serious expression.
Ao Mingyu was completely dumbstruck.
What kind of f*cking reason was this?!
“Mr. An Lin, I will remember what you have done for me for the rest of eternity. Please tell me if you need anything from me, and I will do my best to repay you!” Ao Mingyu extended another salute toward An Lin.
Regardless of why An Lin had decided to help him, the fact was that An Lin had saved his life and allowed him to exact his revenge. That was enough.
An Lin was a little surprised that he was able to see things from this perspective.
This indicated that even though the family environment within the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas wasn’t all that great, and the people there were also pretty screwed up, not all of them were beyond help.
An Lin nodded. “I don’t need you to do anything for me. If you encounter Xu Xiaolan in here, please help me protect her. That’s all.”
Even though Ao Mingyu was only at the Return to Void Initial Stage, there was always strength in numbers.
“I will be sure to protect her with my life if I encounter her!” Ao Mingyu nodded with conviction.
After a short conversation, the two of them split up.
An Lin didn’t have time to waste here. He still had to look for his Xiaolan.
He rose into the air atop his brick and resumed his journey to find Xiaolan.
There wasn’t anything for him to do, so he refined the evil dragon’s storage ring, wondering what the local dragons of the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm kept in their possessions.
He looked into the storage ring to discover that it was filled with corpses!
Dragon Tribe bodies and the bodies of the mutant beasts with Dragon Tribe bloodlines.
“Gasp… Was that dragon into necrophilia?”
An Lin was astonished and a little disgusted. However, that evil dragon was definitely a bit twisted in the head, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise that it collected corpses. Furthermore, there were quite a few corpses of powerful beings in here as well, which could be used for tool refinement, so they could be considered to be quite valuable.
Aside from that, there were only some weapons and pills.
There was nothing that made his eyes light up.
There were quite a few spirit stones though. Eight million to be exact.
An Lin made a rough calculation. After adding on the two million three hundred thousand spirit stones that he obtained from Ao Mingyu, he discovered that he had a total of a hundred and twenty-four million six hundred thousand spirit stones in his storage ring!
So much money!
An Lin’s heart rate was beginning to accelerate with this in mind!
This was the first time he had ever owned this many spirit stones.
A hundred million…
What kind of concept was this?
In any case, none of the mighty figures that had been slain by him had this much money!
“Wait, what am I thinking about this for? My top priority now is to find Xiaolan!”
An Lin slapped his own cheeks and curbed his rampant train of thought before flying in a certain direction again.
This place was the battlefield for all Dragon Tribe cultivators.
Battles were constantly taking place here.
Of course, there were also cultivators hiding in the shadows, awaiting their prey.
They would normally refrain from striking, but every time they struck, they made it count.
The lizard dragon of the Western Dragon Forest, the evil dragons of the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm, and the Eastern dragons of the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas. These were the three main powers within this Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm.
However, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas was the weakest among these three.
Even though the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures were unable to enter this world, there was no cap on the number of Return to Void Stage mighty figures that could enter this place. Furthermore, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas had the least number of Return to Void Stage mighty figures here.
In order to avoid becoming sustenance for their enemies, most of the powerful beings from the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas chose to hide in the shadows and bide their time to wait for the best opportunities to strike.
The sixth princess of the Dragon Court, Ao Yuetang, wore a black dress, and she was hiding within the shadows of a dense forest, surveying her surroundings with rapt attention.
She was a legendary character within the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas.
Five years ago, she had entered the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm after only recently progressing to the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage. Two days later, she returned and had already progressed to the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage.
Her feats had created a massive stir within the Dragon Court.
How had she managed to create this miracle?
It could not be attributed to her strength. Instead, the key was her unparalleled ability to land the killing blow!
Was it a skill to beat an enemy to the brink of death?
No! Killing an enemy on the brink of death was the true skill.
It was because of her tactic that she was able to obtain the power of both the victor of the battle that she was landing the killing blow on and the cultivator that had been slain in battle!
Power was not the most important thing here. No matter how powerful she was, there were always more cultivators who were more powerful than her.
What she had to do was to lie in wait and scoring a guaranteed kill with each and every one of her strikes.
She refused to kill enemies that were at full health, even if they looked weaker than her.
She would only kill enemies that had already been wounded in battle!
If the enemy could be wounded, then it could also be killed!
That was Ao Yuetang’s mantra.
She was determined to recreate the miracle she had created five years ago!
“I must advance to the Return to Void Stage this time.”
Ao Yuetang hid within the forest and concealed her aura as she stared straight ahead with a scorching light in her eyes.
Right in front of her, there was a brutal, earth-shattering battle between a Western dragon at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage and an evil dragon at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage taking place.
Ao Yuetang’s body transformed into a dark shadow as she slowly drew closer and closer…
