Dragon Tamer - Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Chapter 323: Orderer Chang Hong
Zhu Minglang did not immediately respond.

His gaze swept over the others and he noticed something odd about each of them: their postures were overly rigid, and they were unable to speak a word.

They were completely the picture of being held hostage!

Zhu Minglang saw Fang Niannian’s curved eyes, which fluttered and rolled as if trying to convey everything happening here to Zhu Minglang through her gaze alone.

“Sir, why trouble my companions?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“Do you see the Fiend Star Dragon? I don’t like to repeat myself!” Orderer Changhong’s tone shifted immediately.

Zhu Minglang stepped forward and placed the Scale Feathers of the Fiend Star Dragon, which he had obtained from the Black Fire Bereaved Dragon, on the table.

Upon seeing the Scale Feathers from different parts of the body, Orderer Changhong’s eyes immediately sparkled, and his uneven teeth were exposed again as a grin slowly spread across his face!

“When the Hu Family’s people came to me, I knew you would definitely have clues about the Fiend Star Dragon. Very good, take me there immediately!” Orderer Changhong demanded.

“And what of these friends of mine…?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Changhong lifted his head to glance at the ceiling of the loft, and at that moment, a Shadow Trick Dragon crawled down from the shadows on the ceiling, moving along the wall like a giant dark gecko, silent as death.

In that instant, Zhu Minglang finally understood what the people in the loft were fearing and what they were afraid of.

It turned out that a Shadow Trick Dragon was perched above their heads, watching them and ensuring they didn’t dare make any rash moves.

This Orderer from Green Bull Mountain…

Was indeed no good commodity.

He was using the Hu Family’s people to track down the Fiend Star Dragon.

His impatience when the Scale Feathers were given away made it hard for anyone to trust him in the slightest.

Not to mention his current actions.

He was clearly holding the people in the loft hostage, coercing Zhu Minglang into revealing the Fiend Star Dragon’s whereabouts.

“The Brown Flag Army of Slaughter Country will be here any moment now, don’t you think you should deal with that?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Hahaha, Master Zhu, what do you think this army is coming for, for this rundown old city??” Orderer Changhong retorted with a question.

Zhu Minglang glanced outside the window. From here, he could see beyond the city walls to the land outside where brown flags fluttered in the sky, and columns of armed soldiers were steadily advancing towards Runyu City.

“Sigh, why didn’t I think of this from the start? It’s all my fault, I was too impulsive, too eager to revive Runyu City,” Hu Chongming lamented.

Strategic locations, fertile lands, value to be exploited—whether it was Slaughter Country or the Orderers, they had been fixated on Runyu City from the start because of the Fiend Star Dragon!!

They were searching for the Fiend Star Dragon, aware that it must be intricately linked to Runyu City, and that by securing Runyu City, they would certainly find the necessary clues!

They were after the supreme dragon, not this storm-tossed wreck of a city!

“So, could this promising young Master Zhu have found what we have long been dreaming of??” At this moment, a man wearing a mandarin jacket walked in from outside, smiling as he inquired.

“These are the Scale Feathers he obtained. He must have seen the Fiend Star Dragon,” Orderer Changhong stated.

Zhu Minglang turned his head and scrutinized the man in the mandarin jacket. In a hushed tone, Hu Chongming informed him, “He is the headmaster of the West Route Divinity Academy, Yan Guang.”

Changhong, Yan Guang!

The two Orderers of the Tea-colored Ground!

No wonder among the columns of the Brown Flag Army of Slaughter Country, Zhu Minglang had also spotted the emblem of the Divinity Academy.

Quite the grand scene!

They all arrived at the same time.

And all for the Fiend Star Dragon!

“Yao Kun, you’ve done well this time. I will certainly take good care of your family members in Yao Country,” said Orderer Chang Hong, patting Yao Junshi on the back with a smile.

Yao Junshi’s face changed, and he wanted to explain himself, but when he found all eyes on him, he was flushed with embarrassment.

“Yao Junshi, how could you betray us!” Hu Bailing exclaimed in shock, angrily questioning him.

Hu Chongming had only just learned this secret from his ancestors, and it was Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua who discovered relics in Pear Blossom Gully that led to the conjecture that there was a relic entrance in Runyu City.

No sooner had they entered than all these people arrived. Initially, Hu Chongming didn’t understand why the Orderer from Green Bull Mountain would suddenly attack.

So it was their own who had leaked the information to outsiders!

“The iron hooves of Slaughter Country have rampaged through Yao Country; to preserve their lives, I had no choice,” said Yao Junshi.

“You could have told us, we could have helped you!” said Hu Chongming.

“Help how? You can’t even protect Runyu City; can you protect my kinsmen in the royal court of Yao Country??” replied Yao Junshi.

“But you can’t just…”

“Let it be, it’s just some information about the Fiend Star Dragon, which isn’t of much value to us anyway,” Zhu Minglang said, quite composed and calm.

“Since the City Lord knows what we want, then please lead the way for us,” said Orderer Chang Hong.

“Not so fast, it would be best to wait for Tu Wenhe,” said Yan Guang.

“Fine, let’s wait then.”

The army had already surged into the city.

Zhu Minglang and the others were planning to temporarily retreat. It didn’t matter to them how the invaders occupied the place since Runyu City, abandoned by the Godly Mortal Academy, had already lost its vitality, with few people left inside.

Around noon, a Giant Spirit Killing Dragon appeared outside the city, with several people standing on its shoulders.

When the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon reached the city wall, it did not stop but brazenly smashed through part of the wall, trampling over the newly constructed roads and streets, marching through arrogantly!

It was Su Tai, the leader of Slaughter Country’s hundred-thousand-strong army, seemingly venting the humiliation of past days as he deliberately allowed the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon to destroy the construction of Runyu City.

“Remember me, Master Zhu?” Su Tai said with a wild smile.

Su Tai expected Zhu Minglang to be shocked and scared, but soon realized Zhu Minglang wasn’t even looking at him. Instead, Zhu was gazing at another person who was also on the back of the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon.

“Mr. Zhu, we meet again,” a man leaped down from the shoulder of the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon.

He was dressed elegantly, resembling a private school tutor.

“Boss, it’s this blind fool who relies on that broken document…” Su Tai was about to take his anger out on Zhu Minglang.

Tu Wenhe gave Su Tai a look, his eyes carrying a hint of chill.

Su Tai immediately held his tongue, retreated several steps behind Tu Wenhe, and hung his head low, showing a look of fear.

“You’ve seen something humorous, Mr. Zhu; it’s my negligence in managing my subordinates. They have acted too arrogantly and offended you. I only learned of the small misunderstanding between Su Tai and Mr. Zhu on the way here. Knowing that this city belongs to Mr. Zhu, naturally, I wouldn’t allow them to come here and wreak havoc,” said Tu Wenhe once again, displaying friendliness and warmth.
