The last time Long Ji saw this kind and lovely elder was a hundred years ago.

Nolan blinked, withdrew her hand, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed about taking advantage of the situation.

Perhaps we can take advantage of this while it's still hot?

"You've been gone for so long, we all thought you were dead."

Manun's pale face flushed slightly, and his eyes grew brighter, indicating that his life was coming to an end and there was no hope of recovery.

Catherine didn't know what to say, so she could only hug Manun tightly and glare at the hateful, greedy aliens around her.

Lin Dichen waved his hands repeatedly, saying awkwardly, "Don't look at me. We don't have the ability to seriously injure an adult dragon. We just followed the spatial coordinates divined by the Star Saints to come here and pick up the scraps."

The agate dragon has been crippled since its appearance in the world, wreaking havoc on the borders of various powers' territories and attacking any creature it sees like a madman. During this time, it has been besieged and ambushed countless times, without a moment to catch its breath.

It's them!

Manun suddenly grabbed Ekaterina's hand, his eyes vacant as he stared at the gloomy sky, his face filled with resentment and hatred. He seemed to have lost his mind again, screaming in agony, "They... imprisoned me for a hundred years! They defiled my body time and time again in those sunless caves! They tainted my bloodline! They gave birth to countless filthy offspring! And they raised all my children into war machines that obeyed their every command!"

Nolan's expression was strange. He listened to the sharp and obscure dragon language and silently recited "Messiah" in the common language of the Federation, which immediately startled all the teachers and students.

"What!?"

Ekaterina clenched her fists, furious.

Someone dared to imprison the Gem Dragon Mother, force Manun to mate repeatedly, and secretly breed hybrid dragons as soldiers and weapons?

This heinous act is not merely a provocation against the Gem Dragons, but a declaration of war against all the dragons of the Splendid Valley!

"Kill! I will kill them all! Kill all the alien scum!"

Manuen's delicate body convulsed as she struggled in agony.

It was the century-long torment within the cave that drove the noble dragon mother of the Splendid Valley into madness and derangement.

Zachary raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing something, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty, and his accumulating spiritual energy came to a halt.

A moment of silence fell over the surroundings. Lin and Serani exchanged glances, realizing that the conspiracy behind the dragon-slaying bounty was no small matter.

"Could it be...?"

Lily covered her mouth, her face pale, and belatedly realized what had happened, along with the other mischievous children.

The answer is actually not hard to come up with. The Obsidian Empire's Dragon Rider Legion, which dominates the dimensional battlefield, is renowned for its ability to suppress the Sky Island's Unicorn Knights and the Holy Alliance's Griffin Knights from the air.

But over the years, no one has known why only the Obsidian Knights can tame high-ranking dragons and make them subservient, invincible war beasts.

Now, the cruel truth is laid bare before everyone, enough to send chills down everyone's spine.

A noble-blooded gem dragon mother was kept like a sow in the depths of the empire, enslaved for a hundred years before going mad and escaping, only to watch helplessly as her children were catalyzed into puppets and sent to the battlefield in batches.

Boom!

In the distance, a streak of light pierced through space.

A saint crossed the space tunnel, passed through the barrier of the original plane, and arrived at the G91 plane.

Zach came to his senses and realized that many powerful auras were approaching.

The commotion here has already alerted many bounty hunters with keen senses of smell, but they don't care about Daenerys's tragic past.

290. Thank you for your hard work!

Moreover, it would be unwise to offend the Obsidian Empire for the sake of the already preoccupied Variegated Valley. Once the Holy Alliance is defeated, the Obsidian Empire will become the second line of defense for the Free Federation against the demons.

"This has nothing to do with us!"

Zachary spoke slowly, urging everyone to end this poor life as soon as possible.

Messiah tugged at Larin's sleeve, her gaze filled with reluctance. Even the young students, including Lily and Lin Dichen, found it difficult to act.

Catherine raised her massive tail, revealing a fierce glint in her eyes, her gaze burning with hatred and rage. Anyone who stepped forward was considered an enemy, and she showed no mercy.

Saint Selani of the Hundred Flowers sighed and softly advised, "Rather than letting her die in madness and despair, wouldn't it be better to give her a quick death?"

Once bounty hunters with their own ulterior motives join the hunt, the outcome becomes uncertain; they might not even be able to keep their corpses intact.

The Agate Dragon Mother was still convulsing, sometimes laughing wildly, sometimes sobbing, gripping the Dragon Princess's arm tightly, two tears streaming from her eyes.

Nolan glanced at Manun's pert buttocks and was secretly alarmed.

Obsidian Emperor is utterly insane, imprisoning a Gem Dragon Mother in a cave and mass-producing ferocious dragon cubs as mounts. I just wonder if his wife is that prolific.

"I'm sorry... I will definitely bring you back to the Valley of Splendor and make them pay the price!"

Ekaterina bit her lip, her heart wavering slightly. She raised her hand slightly and pressed it against Manun's neck.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp blue blade pierced through the molten black mist, catching everyone off guard.

The astonishing azure spirit, imbued with unique laws, arrived right beside them and precisely struck the Dragon Mother's heart!

It was a blue feathered arrow covered in barbs that easily pierced through the fragile dragon scales and pinned Manun to the crystal wall.

Ekaterina's pupils contracted slightly as bright red blood splattered across her face.

"Well!"

Manuen remained staring blankly at the sky until his death, no longer feeling any pain, his expression one of relief.

On her deathbed, the Agate Dragon Mother whispered in the Dragon Princess's ear, pleading, "They stole my newborn gem dragon egg as a substitute and are modifying her body to continue defiling the dragon bloodline. Save her, save my other children..."

Zach looked up in astonishment and saw a dark, orderly army lying on the ground behind him, watching him menacingly.

The Obsidian Empire's Firestone banners fluttered in the wind, their overwhelming aura suffocating. Hundreds of fully armed demon knights rode ferocious dragons of various shapes, looking down upon the alien visitors beneath the frozen volcano.

The dragon was clad in armor, and its spiritual energy was no weaker than that of many high-ranking knights. Although it was not large in size, it far surpassed the giant birds kept by the Wind Whisper Royal Court and was comparable to a high-ranking magical beast.

The leader was a tall and muscular man, seemingly a hybrid of giant and human. He held a huge crossbow in his hand and lazily spurred the spiny wyvern to land.

Ekaterina wiped the blood from her pretty face, her teeth grinding together, her gaze cold and icy.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and it was this bunch of bastards who committed an unforgivable crime against Manun!

G91 is Obsidian's territory, so it's no surprise that the Imperial Dragon Riders arrived the fastest. The bounty hunters around shook their heads in disappointment when they saw the Obsidian banner and scattered, clearly not getting a single drop of the spoils.

The half-giant patted the dragon's head, tossed the giant crossbow to his subordinate, and surprisingly, a smile appeared on his lips as he warmly greeted them. Judging from the flint emblem on his armband, his rank must be quite high.

“Mr. Zachary, and the beautiful and charming Miss Serani, oh dear, the High Priestess of the Holy Temple is a rare guest!”

"Lord Pompey."

The six-winged archangel twitched the corners of his mouth, shook hands with the newcomer, and gave a forced smile, only refraining from expressing his displeasure due to the imposing presence of the hundred-rider dragon.

Lin nodded slightly in acknowledgment but did not speak, seemingly not particularly fond of Pompey.

The elegantly dressed Ceylon instructor slipped away from the little giant's hands, refusing the enthusiastic hug.

Emperor Obsidian has ruled the prime mover plane for many years but has no offspring. However, he has taken in five valiant and skilled adopted sons, whom he greatly favors.

[Dead Water] The saint Pompey was the third in line, and he wielded considerable power.

Messiah snorted and muttered, "They're in such a hurry to come and silence him, clearly they don't want to give anyone any leverage against them."

Lily quickly covered Star Songstress's unbridled little mouth; none of the five adopted sons of the Obsidian Emperor were easy to mess with.

This smiling giant Pompey was also a notorious psychopath. The prisoners of war who fell into his hands were all in a state of wishing for death but unable to live. When he went mad, it was not impossible for him to wipe them all out.

The Agate Dragon Mother has been drained of its life force and no longer has the ability to reproduce, so it has naturally lost its value to the Obsidian Empire.

Pompey's madness was just a convenient excuse. A great reward will surely attract brave men. Gathering all the bounty hunters in the world to hunt down Manun would be much more efficient, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Nolan even began to doubt whether the Mad Dragon's atrocities of burning down the city were actually committed...

Pang Pei rubbed his big nose, not minding at all. He glanced around at the dusty and disheveled Star Alliance Expedition Team and laughed heartily.

"As expected of the top students from Starry Sky School, thank you all for your hard work!"

Lin Dichen rolled his eyes; it didn't sound like he was praising them at all.

Why is everyone staring at me like that?

Pompeo glanced at Nolan and Messiah a couple of times, seemingly not very interested in the little kid, and focused more on Serani and Lynn.

Now that Manun is dead, and everyone knows about the Obsidian Empire's dirty dealings behind the scenes, they are naturally not happy.

Pompey clapped his hands and suddenly realized, "Ah! I understand! I will pay the reward as promised, you won't be shortchanged! I'm just here to clean up for everyone, and the spoils of war naturally belong to Starry Sky School, after all, I'm also a big fan of Dean Vivian!"

Zachley nodded, somewhat wary of this unpredictable man.

Sure enough, Pompey changed the subject and said with a smile, "The evil dragon has been slain, which is a good thing, but I have to take his head back to report!"

Lin frowned and looked at Ekaterina. The Dragon Princess had already stood up, holding Manun's corpse, and stared coldly at Pompey. An astonishing dragon aura emanated from her delicate body, causing him to take two steps back.

The dragons in the sky were restless and trembling. If it weren't for the knights' relentless suppression, they would have already fled. They could not defy the supreme bloodline of the gem dragon.

Pompey had long noticed the Crystal Dragon Princess with her giant horns and long tail, and was somewhat surprised by the strength of the legendary young master of the Colorful Valley.

He shrugged, saying helplessly, "What does this mean?"

Ekaterina roared, "You won't touch her again!"

"This is really bothering me."

Pompey narrowed his eyes, his aura sinister, and the spirits of the demonic dragon knights in the sky were released, ready to swoop down on the battlefield at any moment.

291. Excellent meat pot

Zachary and Serani were secretly annoyed by Catherine's irrationality. A hundred dragon riders were nothing, and Pompey himself might not be a match for them, but this was Obsidian Empire territory.

Once they anger the enemy, their army will arrive at any moment, and they will be wiped out before the teleportation beacon can be built. No one can save them.

Afterwards, Wings of Freedom and Star Alliance would never stand up for a few dead people; that's obvious.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, the instructors and students outside of Saint Lenza all stepped back, not wanting to get involved.

The Silver Guardian rubbed Nolan's smiling face, a bitter smile playing on her lips, but her pretty face remained icy cold. She braced herself and stood in front of Pompey, saying in a deep voice, "If there's nothing else, we should go. The headmaster is still waiting for us at the school. As you know, I have a lazy tutor at home with a terrible temper. He gets upset if he doesn't see me for a day!"

Lin seemed to be hinting at something, her words carrying a strong sense of threat: if she caused any more trouble, she would call her man!
