The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 397

Chapter 397 First Arrival in the North

The banquet in Heavenly Rock City was still going on. It was far from the end, and thousands of miles away, another banquet had quietly begun.

Gemini Domain, at the foot of Mount Tai.

In a small town a hundred kilometers away, an independent villa built on a mountain was transformed into a city lord’s mansion. Crystal lights flickered and it was extremely charming.

Countless high-level evolvers looked around. There were hundreds of bright and hidden sentries. They were all dressed in black armor, pitch black like ink, like ghosts under the curtain of night.

There was no sign other than the silhouette of a dragon under the crystal lamp.

The Dark Dragon Guard…! This was the Dark Dragon Guard!

So many Dark Dragon Guards gathered?

As long as one was familiar with the forces in the Dark Realm, one would understand that this Dark Dragon Guard was not joking. There were actually hundreds of Dark Dragon Guards gathered here to guard this place. Obviously, something big had happened.

The Dark Dragon Guards, the secret forces of Azure Dragon City, specialized in assassinations, spying on intelligence, shadows under the light, and dark executors.

Hundreds of Dark Dragon Guards had gathered. Clearly, there were Azure Dragon City bigwigs in this independent villa, or rather, there were Azure Dragon City bigwigs working inside.

The Dark Dragon Guard was guarding it, and this was the only thing that could be seen. Obviously, there was no way to see the light within.

In fact, the Golden Dragon Guards usually performed these garrison and guardian missions. The nature of using the Dark Dragon Guards to guard them was self-evident.

This villa wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. It looked like it had to be around 500 square meters. On the iron door of the villa, there were four large characters-Jade Cloud Villa.

The so-called Jade Cloud Villa was the power center of Jade Cloud City. In fact, this was a small city near Mount Tai.

The subordinate force was naturally Azure Dragon City. At this moment, there was a table of people sitting in the living room of the so-called Jade Cloud Villa.

A banquet seemed to have just begun, and the wine and dishes had just been served. There were more than ten dishes from the north, but there were a few people on the table.

There were only five people on the big table, four men and one woman. Among them was an old man. He was also the main guest of honor at the banquet.

The old man sat in the main seat. He wore a proper black-armored azure dragon robe. He seemed to have been in a high position for many years. He was kind-looking, but he did not show any anger or self-prestige. He was extremely powerful.

This person was naturally the Azure Dragon City’s actual ruler, the father of the Dragon Flame Spear, Lin Xu, and the Dragon City’s City Lord, Lin Zhentian.

This old fellow doesn’t show up often. Obviously, something incredible is going to happen at this small banquet table in this small city.

On both sides of his seat, two resolute youths dressed in Azure Dragon City and black armor stood tall. The aura of crystal energy on their bodies had already reached a high level of Tier 5, making people feel discouraged. They were obviously Lin Zhentian’s personal bodyguards.

Apart from the two bodyguards, there was also a person sitting beside Lin Zhentian. Judging from his clothes, he was still from Azure Dragon City.

This person’s crystalline power was similarly at the fifth level, and there was a neon light flashing in his eyes. It looked like he was in a trance, and it was obvious that he was not someone easy to reach.

The guest sitting opposite Lin Zhentian was a round-faced youth dressed in casual clothes. He wasn’t tall, and his skin was fair. He looked like he was full of scholarship.

Beside the bookish youth sat a man and a woman, two youths who were similarly dressed in ordinary clothes.

This scholarly youth was naturally Zhang Liang, who had fled to the north with Jin Lin and Yi Yu.

As for the two men and women sitting beside Zhang Liang, they were naturally Jin Lin.

In fact, as soon as the three of them entered the Dark Realm, they were stopped by the Twin Cities of Central China. If it weren’t for Cao Zhigang’s coordination, they wouldn’t have been able to arrive here today.

At this moment, Zhang Liang was incomparably astonished. Now, he naturally knew who was holding his parents hostage and even controlling Heavenly Rock City.

Although he had guessed before, that guess was the most reasonable one he felt, but it was also the one he didn’t want to fight against-Azure Dragon City.

This was the most reasonable. Let’s not talk about it for now. As for this, it was naturally because of the other party’s strength that he did not wish to fight.

Azure Dragon City was the number one city in the north. During the Magic Crystal Age, it had developed many rare ruins with a strong foundation.

Afterwards, because of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Heavenly Rock City and the cultivation methods announced by the Rock King, the strength of the evolvers had greatly increased.

Now that he was in the territory of Azure Dragon City, he naturally didn’t want to fight against the number one city in the north.

In fact, before seeing Lin Zhentian, Zhang Liang didn’t want to fight against Azure Dragon City. However, since it was a foregone conclusion, there was nothing left to say or fear.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to earth to cover!

‘”I didn’t expect it to be the old general of the Lin family in Azure Dragon City,” he sighed.

“In that case, my parents ended up in the hands of the Lin Clan in Azure Dragon City.”

“What an ally. Old General, you’ve really hidden it deep enough.”

“You know me?” Lin Zhentian said warmly.

Zhang Liang smiled indifferently, “Haha …! Although you seldom show up, I have seen your information in the Heavenly Rock City database.”

“Before the apocalypse, one of the eight great generals of the north, Lin Zhentian and Old General Lin.”

Seeing that Zhang Liang was still able to talk and laugh properly, Lin Zhentian admired him and said, “The first city of China, the head of the research and development department, has a bit of skill. It can be considered courageous.”

“To your courage, old man, let me propose a toast to you. How about it? Do you dare to drink it?”

Zhang Liang smiled faintly as he raised the cup that was filled on the table. He raised his hand and drank the liquor in the cup. However, he answered Lin Zhentian’s question with action.

Seeing this, Lin Zhentian was also unequivocal. He raised his neck and drank the liquor in his cup.

In an instant, Zhang Liang’s face turned red.

Zhang Liang was a native of the South and rarely drank wine from the North. This was the first time he had drunk wine since the end of the world.

This mouthful of water suddenly poured down, as if it had inhaled a ball of intensely burning flames, burning down its throat all the way to its stomach.

In an instant, his entire chest was boiling hot, and his face was as red as a monkey’s butt. However, he exclaimed in surprise, “What a strong wine…”

Lin Zhentian smiled indifferently, “The wine from the north tastes explosive, strong, thick and fierce. As for the wine from the south, it tastes gentle, sweet, and has endless aftertaste.”

“How is it? Are you used to drinking?”

Zhang Liang smiled. The flush on his face was gone. He was a Tier 5 evolver and a Perfect Grade genetic warrior of Heavenly Rock City.

The mechanism of his body was already an incomparably powerful existence. To him, this cup of wine was naturally not a problem.

In fact, if he didn’t want to get drunk, he wouldn’t even get drunk, let alone drink a cup.

He had just drunk it in a hurry, but the wine was too strong and choked.

Hearing Lin Zhentian’s words, Zhang Liang smiled faintly and said, “I’m not that unaccustomed to doing as the Romans do. Besides, Old General Lin also knows that I’m not here to drink wine from a thousand miles away.”

The implication is that this person has also seen it, and I have also drank the wine. Shouldn’t I cut to the chase?

Lin Zhentian, this old fox, could naturally tell what Zhang Liang meant. He immediately smiled and said, “Heh …! He’s quite anxious. Don’t worry, since he’s already in the north, he’s not in such a hurry. After dinner, I’ll take you to see your parents.”

With that, Lin Zhentian picked up his chopsticks and greeted, “Come and try our northern dishes.”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang was not polite. He grabbed the chopsticks on the table and began to eat. He casually asked, “My parents, are they in this small city?”

“Haha …!” Lin Zhentian was delighted. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he said leisurely, “Your parents are naturally not here.”

Zhang Liang asked anxiously, “Then where are they? Another small city?”

Hearing this, Lin Zhentian’s expression changed slightly. Obviously, he was a little impatient with Zhang Liang’s questioning. In his heart, he began to feel that Zhang Liang seemed to not be able to recognize the form.

“Zhang Liang, this is the first and last time I’ll explain it to you. Listen carefully.” Zhang Liang’s face darkened and he stopped his chopsticks and said gloomily, “Zhang Liang, this is the first and last time I’ll explain it to you.”

“First of all, this place will be the place for you to stay in the future. The hill behind this villa has been hollowed out. There is a large laboratory inside. It will be the place for you to work in the future.”

“As for your parents, you will naturally be able to see them. However, it is up to me to decide where and how long I will be able to see them.”

“You are a smart person. You should also know your current identity. In terms of the current situation, if my Azure Dragon City doesn’t protect you, even though China is big, you probably won’t even have a place to live.”

“You know too much, Heavenly Rock City will not let you, the Rock King will not let you, must be wholeheartedly to eliminate you, in order to resolve future worries.

“So, if you are really smart, you should naturally know that cooperating with us is your only choice. It is also your Zhang Liang Clan’s only way out.”

“You have to understand the situation clearly. You are no longer Heavenly Rock City’s minister. This is not Heavenly Rock City’s territory. This is the north, the world of Azure Dragon City.

“I think you’re a top figure, and you’re also considered a talent. This is the first and last time.”

“After all, even if you don’t cooperate, our Azure Dragon City has countless ways to obtain what we want from you.”

“However, at that time, your family’s ending would probably be a tragedy.”

“I say so, you understand?

Finally, Lin Zhentian’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

However, when Zhang Liang heard these words, he did not have any strange expressions. The panic that Lin Zhentian had expected was gone.

Zhang Liang was still calm and smiled, “Haha …! Threat? Isn’t it a bit too low-level?”

“Old General Lin, do you think that if I, Zhang Liang, did not have the consciousness to die, I would have followed your people to the north so easily?”

“Perhaps, as you said, our family might die, but you don’t have to think about what I, Zhang Liang, have in mind.”

“How is it? Old General Lin, do you want to gamble…?”
