Chapter 636: Black Dragon Sovereign

"No need to instruct, no need!"

In such a situation, the City Lord of White Dragon City certainly wouldn't utter any quips. He clenched his hand, and a ray of black light appeared in his palm. The light condensed into a black bead the size of a dragon's eye.

Crack!

The City Lord swiftly crushed the mysterious black bead the moment it condensed.

Boom!

A terrifying surge of energy suddenly spread out as the bead was crushed. After that, a black pillar of light accompanied by that fluctuation shot into the sky, its oppressive force enveloping the space around them.

Within the black pillar of light, it seemed as if a black figure emerged and slowly stepped forward, causing the space beneath its feet to tremble.

"I told you to stay hidden and not disturb me unless it was something important. You better have a good explanation for this!"

A cold voice sounded the moment the black figure appeared.

The City Lord of White Dragon City looked up at the black figure with a mix of reverence and fear in his eyes. He hadn't wanted to make contact, but he feared that failing to do so could very well mean his death today…

The black figure finally sensed something was wrong when he saw the City Lord's timid gaze.

Turning to face Xiao Ming and his two companions, he seemed to guess something.

"Is it you who are seeking me?"

Xiao Ming observed the figure, who was clad in a black robe and appeared to be of middle age with slightly graying hair. His eyes were like two black holes, utterly dark and unfathomable. At this moment, with his hands clasped behind his back and a cold grin on his face, he didn't seem to be in the best of moods.

It was quite understandable; anyone whose undercover agent had been exposed would hardly be in a good mood. Had the situation not been unclear, the Black Dragon Sovereign might have already taken action.

Yet, without making a move, an indescribable pressure filled the air under the Black Dragon Sovereign's gaze.

Under this oppressive force, Qing Tan and the City Lord felt their bodies become heavier, and even the Spiritual Energy within them showed signs of solidifying.

With a flick of his sleeve and a faint smile on his face, Xiao Ming broke through the terrifying oppression and said, "You must be the Black Dragon Sovereign. We indeed came looking for you today."

"Oh, for what purpose?"

The Black Dragon Sovereign furrowed his brows. Given that the Demonic Dragon Palace's reputation had been dragged through the mud among all major forces in their quest to unify the Northern Heavens Continent, he couldn't imagine why someone would seek him out now.

"To save you."

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Sovereign seemed to find it laughably absurd and burst into laughter.

"Ha, ha, ha! That's truly amusing. You, save us? The Demonic Dragon Palace does not need saving."

"I'm not referring to the Demonic Dragon Palace but to the lower plane from which you came before arriving in the Great Thousand World."

"..."

The laughter of the Black Dragon Sovereign came to an abrupt halt. Perhaps due to the rapid change in his emotions, his facial expression became eerily strange.

"Where did you learn about this?"

Xiao Ming merely smiled faintly in response.

Seeing that the other party offered no explanation, the Black Dragon Sovereign's expression turned somber. He was 80% sure that the White Dragon Sovereign, that traitor, must have revealed their origin. But on the other hand, what did it matter if it was known?

The Black Dragon Sovereign glanced at Xiao Ming and his two female companions. One was a Quasi-Sovereign, and the other was at the Spirit Stage. Only the handsome man had broken his oppressive aura, making him somewhat inscrutable. Yet, to think that they could save their plane with that alone was utterly delusional.

Thus, the Black Dragon Sovereign sneered and was about to chastise Xiao Ming for his presumption when a tremendous pressure, so strong that it seemed to reach the depths of his soul, surged forth from the latter.

The Black Dragon Sovereign felt his knees buckle and with a thud, he found himself kneeling before them.

The Black Dragon Sovereign: "..."

The City Lord: "!!!"

The City Lord was utterly shocked. What had he just witnessed? He had just seen the Black Dragon Sovereign, who had once unified the Northern Heavens Continent, kneel down?!

Qing Yanjing and Qing Tan appeared much calmer, unsurprised by the scene unfolding before them.

Xiao Ming gazed at the Black Dragon and smiled lightly, "You don't believe this Emperor lacks the strength, do you?"

The Black Dragon Sovereign didn't react at first, but when he did, his face turned red as the Spiritual Energy within his Sovereign Sea churned wildly as he desperately tried to break free from the oppressive force.

However, after struggling with all his might for a while, the Black Dragon Sovereign realized that he couldn't move at all. He was convinced. The person in front of him could not be defeated!

"Your Excellency, I believe we can discuss this matter further. I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai earlier. Please forgive my ignorance," the Black Dragon Sovereign said, barely managing to squeeze out a smile while kneeling on the ground.

Upon hearing these somewhat familiar words, Qing Yanjing glanced at the frightened and overwhelmed City Lord beside him. It was quite apparent they belonged to the same force; even their pleas for mercy were so alike.

But as similar as they were, they proved to be equally effective. No sooner had the Black Dragon Sovereign finished speaking than he felt his body relax as the pressure lifted, allowing him to quickly rise to his feet.

Of course, after the previous incident, the Black Dragon Sovereign didn't even entertain the thought of taking advantage of Xiao Ming's momentary relaxation to launch a sneak attack. The vast gap in their strength was clear; he was immobilized without the other party even lifting a finger.

However, this episode made him realize that Xiao Ming's earlier mention of saving their plane wasn't mere talk. This ignited a spark of eagerness in his heart.

"Your Excellency mentioned saving our plane? Why?" the Black Dragon Sovereign inquired cautiously.

"Indeed," Xiao Ming nodded, "There's no need for you to probe any further. My target is the Dimension Fetus of your plane."

Although he would have dealt with the Fiend Clans sooner or later regardless of the Dimension Fetus, the Dimension Fetus remained the primary reason. There was no harm in admitting it.

"The Dimension Fetus?"

Qing Yanjing's face subtly changed as she discreetly glanced at Xiao Ming upon hearing this term.

Since she was at the Perfected Earth Sovereign Stage, she was well aware of what the Dimension Fetus was. It was a divine object capable of advancing someone to the Heavenly Sovereign Stage. Surely, anyone aware of such information would keep it concealed, right?

Yet, Xiao Ming openly mentioned it in front of her without any reservations. Could it be that he...?

Qing Yanjing pondered in her heart; her eyes fixed intently on Xiao Ming's handsome face as a hint of pink spread across her cheeks.

Even though she wasn't particularly concerned about looks, she had to admit that Xiao Ming's universally appealing appearance definitely suited her taste.

No one noticed Qing Yanjing's inner turmoil.

When the Black Dragon Sovereign heard about the Dimension Fetus, he was initially startled but soon understood. Indeed, it had to be for the Dimension Fetus; otherwise, why would such a great figure seek him out?

In fact, it wasn't as if they hadn't thought about seeking help from others to save their plane when they first arrived in the Great Thousand World. However, the strength of the Northern Heavens Continent was just this, not much stronger than their own plane.

The forces of other planes, especially the stronger ones, wouldn't even give them the time of day, no matter how much they pleaded. This left them with no choice but to wage wars across continents in order to strengthen themselves and return to save their homeland.

However, this path was also destroyed when that guy White Dragon betrayed the Demonic Dragon Palace. To add insult to injury, he claimed that his betrayal was for the sake of revenge and accused the others of straying from the right path.

These words infuriated the Black Dragon Sovereign to the point of wanting to beat him to death, and indeed, he did. Unfortunately, although the White Dragon was killed, he left a contingency plan behind. The precious treasure of the Demonic Dragon Palace, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, was lost because of him.

Now that the Demonic Dragon Palace was forced into hiding, Black Dragon's desire to return home and seek revenge became a distant dream.
