The four guards in black who were outside of the palace suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in.

When they saw the black longsword in Hao Ren’s hands, their faces turned to sadness before kneeling on the ground.

“Dragon king!” they cried.

“Dragon king… dragon king… dragon king…” Their voices echoed in the spacious palace.

Zhao Haoran’s dragon presence still lingered around the pillars in the palace. However, he had transferred all his cultivation strength to Hao Ren, and his essence dragon soul had merged into the black longsword in Hao Ren’s hands.

From the top of the palace rose a surge of black energy which shot into the air.

The surrounding seawater boiled while the black energy rushed out of the ocean and shot up into the clouds in the high sky which were 1,000 meters high.

Boom… The black energy gradually vanished.

A great fierce hero died.

This strange phenomenon attracted the notice of the nearby soldiers, and they came over to investigate.

The four guards suddenly turned into four black light beams and flew out of the palace.

“The dragon king is cultivating! Anyone trespassing will be killed!” Standing in all four directions of the palace, the four guards yelled at the same time.

Hundreds of soldiers who had been rushing over immediately stopped their steps.

Hongshou Palace gradually quieted down while the soldiers hurried back.

“Tell Zhao Guang that the old dragon king is leaving, and he should do what is appropriate from now on!” The four guards shouted together as they stood on the four corners of the roof.

Then, without any hesitation, they chased after the black energy which was gradually disappearing in the high sky and turned into beams of black lights.

“Azure Dragon Guard, Black Tortoise Guard, White Tiger Guard, and Vermilion Bird Guard will stay with the old dragon king all our lives!”

Together with the remaining presence of Zhao Haoran, they flew toward the west.

Didn’t matter what happened, they would stay in Zhao Haoran’s mansion in the U.S. to create the illusion that he was still alive!

In this way, the forces that were coveting the fortunes of East Ocean would stay in their territories. Otherwise, they would copy the West Ocean Dragon Clan, trying to attack East Ocean and seize their properties that had been accumulating for thousands of years.

Standing in the center of the palace, Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds before injecting a trace of nature essence into the Black Dragon Spike.

Swoosh! The tip of the Black Dragon Spike released a black shockwave which shot out of the wide-open gates before hiding a palace into the distance.

Bang!

A corner of that palace was cut off.

Containing Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year dragon soul, this weapon was very fierce!

Meanwhile, a chilling murderous spirit crept along the handle of the sword to Hao Ren’s heart!

With Black Dragon Spike in his hand, Hao Ren took several steps back before falling into the golden throne.

Containing the powerful murderous spirit that had been accumulating for 1,000 years, the Black Dragon Spike had a violent impact on the user, and not everyone could handle such a backlash!

Hao Ren had just injected a trace of nature essence into it as a test and caused such great damage. If more nature essence were injected into it, the murderous spirit would cause more damage to the cultivator who used it.

Hao Ren finally understood why Zhao Haoran wanted him to give this weapon to Zhao Kuo.

It was because only a pinnacle master like Zhao Kuo could control such a fierce weapon.

When Zhao Kuo took this weapon, he would find out the truth about the death of Zhao Haoran, and the secret would be out.

To ensure the temporary safety of East Ocean, Zhao Haoran gave up on resting in peace in the dragon tomb.

A heroic feeling rose in Hao Ren’s heart.

He once thought that Zhao Haoran was fierce and overbearing, but now he thought of him an iron man of heroic achievements!

Hao Ren carefully put away the Black Dragon Spike before standing up from the throne and walking out of the palace.

It was very quiet, and the entire East Ocean Dragon Palace was illuminated by a red light.

Hao Ren passed the training field paved with spirit stone and passed the white jade bridge, arriving at the grand hall where Zhao Guang was staying.

Sitting behind a desk, Zhao Guang was looking at something under the candlelight while Elder Lu, Elder Sun, and Premier Xia were quietly standing on both sides of him.

“What happened?” Zhao Guang looked up at Hao Ren and asked.

“The old dragon king… Grandpa went back,” after some hesitation, Hao Ren reported.

“Yeah, they’ve reported it to me.” Zhao Guang nodded and put the thing in his hand on one side of the table before asking Hao Ren, “I think my father has a deeper meaning in handing the position of the Commanding General to you, right?”

“Grandpa asked me to cultivate more and take care of Zi,” Hao Ren said.

“Ok.” Zhao Guang nodded again. “After the war with West Ocean, he does want to go back.”

Hao Ren remained silent. Obviously, Zhao Guang would never imagine that Zhao Haoran had disappeared into nature.

In the eyes of Zhao Guang, Zhao Haoran was as fierce, bad-tempered, and controlling as before.

“Is Su Han still in the dragon palace?” Hao Ren asked.

“She’s still resting in the dragon palace.” Zhao Guang turned to look at Premier Xia. “Premier, please take Ren to her place.”

Premier Xia walked forward. “Fuma, this way please.”

“Uncle, please don’t stay up too late,” Hao Ren said to Zhao Guang.

With a smile, Zhao Guang gave him a small wave before lowering his head to continue working.

With his hunched back, Premier Xia led Hao Ren to Elder Xingyue’s palace.

“Gongzi Hao, congratulations on your promotion to the Commanding General!” Premier Xia turned his head and congratulated him.

“Hehe.” Hao Ren laughed bitterly, not sure how to answer him.

Commanding General of West Peace sounded magnificent, but he had been forced into this position by Zhao Haoran.

“I understand the old dragon king’s intention, but you must be careful, Gongzi Hao,” Premier Xia continued.

“Be careful?” Hao Ren looked at him in confusion.

“Since the old dragon king personally appointed you to be the Commanding General, no one from the dragon palace dares to object. However, the outside…” Premier Xia paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Now that you are the Commanding General of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, the leader of one million soldiers…”

While Premier Xia beat around the bushes, Hao Ren gradually understood his point. He was the Commanding General of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, but he didn’t live in the dragon palace and thus was not under the protection of the troops. This time, although the West Ocean Dragon Clan was almost destroyed, they wouldn’t admit defeat… Zhao Haoran put Hao Ren in the position of the Commanding General to prevent internal turmoil, but at the same time, his decision brought Hao Ren more dangers.

Although the palaces and the soldiers of the West Ocean Dragon Clan were destroyed, it still had quite a few Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators!

“However, from your vigorous look, I see that you have reached a higher realm,” Premier Xia continued.

“Thank you, Premier Xia,” Hao Ren answered politely.

He still remembered that when he first came into the East Ocean Dragon Palace, he asked Premier Xia about how to the Spirit Concentration Scroll. Only a short time had passed, and he now reached Gen-level.

“The old dragon king is fierce and hot-tempered, but he’s a rare good king. If you can get some tips from him, you will reach Dui-level very soon,” Premier Xia continued.

Hao Ren looked at Premier Xia and suddenly found him unfathomable. After all, Premier Xia had worked under two dragon kings, and he was very familiar with the mindset of his bosses.

When Premier Xia and Hao Ren entered the gate of Elder Xingyue’s palace, the female disciple on duty immediately went inside to report to Su Han.

“Senior Sister asked you to come in,” she said to Hao Ren as she dashed out.

Hao Ren walked into the garden while Premier Xia waited for him at the gate.

Walking under the moon and past the flowers in the quiet palace, Hao Ren suddenly felt nervous.

During the war between East Ocean and West Ocean, Hao Ren got a little worried about Su Han who was resting in the dragon palace. But from the looks of it, she wasn’t directly involved in the conflict between the two dragon clans.

Knock! Knock!

“Come in!” Su Han’s clear voice sounded from the inside.

Carefully, Hao Ren pushed open the door and entered. He found Su Han sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating with her eyes closed.

Her bright complexion seemed more beautiful with the increase in her cultivation strength.

“Commanding General of West Peace, what brought you here in the middle of the night?” Su Han opened her red lips and asked.

Hao Ren smiled helplessly and replied, “I just wanted to come and see you.”

The moment his words came out, he felt like it didn’t sound quite right. It seemed as if he was visiting his secret lover.

“I’ve fully recovered my cultivation strength, and I’m going go back to the Dragon God Shrine to report the conflict between East Ocean and West Ocean tomorrow, ” Su Han slowly opened her bright eyes and said.

Hao Ren nodded since he knew it was her duty. After all, the war between the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan under water almost disturbed the mortals in East Ocean City, and the Dragon God Shrine needed to know the details of it. As the regional inspector of the city, Su Han must give them an explanation.

“What happens when a cultivator’s lifespan is all used up?” Hao Ren asked after a moment of silence.

“The higher the realm a cultivator has, the longer they live. The dragon cultivators on Qian-level and human cultivators at top-tier Nascent Soul Realm can live for about 1,000 years. Then, they must follow the law of life cycle, unless they can reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm or the Soul Formation Realm to live as long as the universe and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon,” Su Han said.

“How about… extending one’s life with godly pills?” Hao Ren continued to ask.

“The rare fruits in nature probably can extend the lives of some cultivators, but for those whose ages have reached the limit, no elixirs can keep. Only through hard cultivation and reaching the Heavenly Dragon Realm can one live permanently and become the true masters of the world,” Su Han said lightly.

“Got it.” Hao Ren smiled lightly.

He thought for a while and asked her, “After you go back to the Dragon God Shrine, will you come back to East Ocean City?”

“I suppose… so,” Su Han turned her gaze to him and said.

“And… if you come back, will you return to the East Ocean University?” Hao Ren continued after pausing for two seconds.

“What do you want?” Su Han stared at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren gritted his teeth. “I want you to come back.”

Su Han looked at him in silence.

Hao Ren looked back at her and remained silent as well.

“Ok.” Su Han’s crisp voice sounded after a long while.
