Shennong Dao Master

Which department was adjusted? The Engineering Department of the Dragon Clan. Dragons are highly intelligent beings, also capable of crafting divine weapons. Those Dragon Generals of Cloud City wield long spears and wear armor.

"This isn't something I'm doing alone; all factions are both settling parties and looting parties."

"I must quickly go to the Royal City to seize the authority of the Dragon Engineering Department, or else more people will be asking Yin Li for that authority, making it harder to obtain." Zhao Xing's advantage was knowing the location and being familiar with the process.

So he felt very confident about this journey.

Cao Qianyue said developing land takes time, while looting is much quicker.

"A fast step leads to continuous speed; as long as I exchange once from Yin Xiu, my advantage will only grow. Hehe..." Zhao Xing thought cheerfully.

Cao Qianyue, who had come to report, shivered at seeing Zhao Xing's sinister grin and the dark expression on his face.

Marquis, why does he seem so much like a villain?

...

A two-hour period later, three Dragon Ships and three hundred Dragon Generals, grandly raising the flag of Mengyun Dragon City, set out towards the Royal City.

Mengyun Dragon City's City Lord privilege allowed one to open the ancient transmission arrays by paying Dragon Crystals, swiftly appearing in other City Lords' territories.

It only took three days to reach the Royal City.

Along the way, he passed through many City Lords' territories, attracting quite a bit of attention.

Because Zhao Xing had an unfamiliar aura; despite bearing the flag of the Mengyun City Lord, he carried many treasures, which naturally invited scrutiny.

However, once Zhao Xing's power was sensed, those intentions were promptly dismissed.

This was because Zhao Xing's Dragon Language Level was high, an upper-level of 5, which was already at Lord Level, although an upper 5 level Dragon Language did not necessarily equate to the strength of the Dragon Language Spell.

But who would dare to risk their life to test whether Zhao Xing possessed this ability?

Although the Dragon Clan was belligerent, City Lord Level dragons were not foolish; as long as Zhao Xing didn't come to attack them, they wouldn't provoke him either.

Thus, the transmission proceeded smoothly.

Lord of Flame Dragon did not react because he didn't care who the Mengyun City Lord was.

Who killed 'Pu' was unimportant as long as they remained loyal to him, the Lord of Flame Dragon.

He was still awaiting Zhao Xing's tribute.

Yet, before the Lord of Flame Dragon could react, Zhao Xing had already fled.

Two and a half days into entering the Dragon Court, Zhao Xing, in the guise of the Mengyun City Lord, arrived at the Gu Ting Royal City with three ships' worth of treasure.

...

After passing through the Array and guards' detection, Zhao Xing entered the Royal City.

"Marquis, there are so many dragons!" Cao Qianyue stood behind Zhao Xing.

Both in the sky and on the ground, many members of the Dragon Clan were present, some even at the City Lord Level.

"Of course there are many dragons in the Royal City," Zhao Xing said. "Dunlie, are you afraid?"

Cao Qianyue stiffened his neck, touching his hammer: "Afraid? With the Marquis here, I'm afraid they'll just overwhelm me with numbers!"

"Hahaha," Zhao Xing couldn't help but chuckle.

Inside the Royal City, it was relatively safe; apart from the arenas, there were few dragons daring to fight.

However, the Royal City's area was vast, and after entering, they flew for another half-day before reaching the outskirts of the palace area.

"Look, that's the Gu Ting Palace, created by the ancient Dragon Emperor 'Ting.' But in these times, there's no Dragon Emperor Level, only a Great Dragon King." Zhao Xing eyed the towering palace walls ahead.

The palace walls were not built from stone but were barriers, with many Eighth and Ninth Rank trees cut down as the Array base, along with many Dragon Stones and Top-Grade Dragon Crystals embedded underground.

Outside the palace walls, many palace guards patrolled.

"The guards here have high bloodline levels, with a City Lord Level presence every ten miles."

"There are also many Lord Level dragons. Do not act recklessly or wander off," Zhao Xing instructed.

"Yes," Cao Qianyue kept his gaze forward, not daring to glance sideways.

The Gray Lion Dog and Inverted Sheep started to become restless, feeling an oppressive aura from the bloodlines.

The Mountain Cat, however, remained calm, lying at the bow of the ship, ignoring the pressure.

"Halt!" A Royal Palace Dragon General stopped Zhao Xing's Dragon Ship.

"I, 'Zhao,' Lord of Mengyun Dragon City, have come specifically to pay tribute to our King!" Zhao Xing used Dragon Language to negotiate with the Palace Guardian General.

As the new Lord of Mengyun Dragon City, Zhao Xing coming to the Royal City to pay tribute was quite reasonable.

Yin Li would only feel pleased, for the Dragon Clan's rule is that an overlord's vassal is not the overlord's vassal.

For a dragon species at City Lord Level like Zhao Xing, who already had strong free will and resistance to dragon might and pressure, if it was possible to switch allegiance from the Lord of Flame Dragon without a fight, Yin Li would be very happy to see it.

Soon, the Dragon General who had gone to report returned.

"Mengyun City Lord, you may proceed."

Zhao Xing navigated the three Dragon Ships into the palace grounds.

Entering the palace grounds, they flew for another two hours to reach the palace where Yin Li resided.

There appeared a mist-shrouded, towering mountain, with the Dragon King Palace looming majestically, like a mythical beast from the Immortal Realm, exuding majesty.

The Li Palace, built against the mountain, seemed either as its natural base or one with the palace itself.

The peaks of the palace, like long spears, pierced the sky, with dragon skulls at the peaks.

Not just one but over a hundred!

These were the accomplishments of the rulers of the Gu Ting Kingdom throughout the ages; each dragon bone belonged to a Dragon King Level being, its colors matching the hues of the Five Elements Wind and Thunder.

Additionally, the palace exterior also had Dragon Crystal Towers.

The Dragon Crystal Pagoda, carved with mysterious runes and dragon-shaped patterns, contained formidable power within.
