Chapter 100

The courtyard was dense with trees, and the high walls stood firm.

After passing a deep and narrow path, one could see a bay of blue trees, which emitted a unique hue and charm under the hazy sky.

Ahead, the view opened up to a pavilion by a lake, where the water was clear and the pavilion elegant. If not for the weather, it would be a place of birdsong and fragrant flowers, a delightful scene.

Beyond the pavilion and the lake, the silver courtyard could be seen.

The man wearing a mask had a burning gaze, as if countless memories surged into his mind. The anticipation and enthusiasm of the past had been extinguished and shattered here, turning into pain and madness, which were now reflected in his eyes!

"If possible, please leave her remains for me to cherish." Finally, the masked man spoke.

Du Cheng and Li Kongxi were taken aback.

Du Cheng soon burst into laughter, patting the man and saying, "This wish will certainly be granted. I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with her. She is just a woman with power. Once she enters our palace, you will have endless glory and an inexhaustible supply of beauties!"

Li Kongxi looked at the masked man, feeling a bit uneasy.

Why did this man's voice sound so familiar?

"There is someone on the pavilion by the lake." At this moment, the gaunt man said.

The sky was faintly bright, and without careful observation, it would be hard to notice the figure on the pavilion. The person stood there like a gentleman enjoying the spring scenery, dressed in a clean long robe with black hair.

What caught the eye was the small, snow-white dragon perched on his shoulder.

The man was refined and calm, and the white dragon was noble and extraordinary. Together, they stood between the pavilion and the lake, creating a poetic and beautiful scene.

However, the light in their eyes was far from gentle.

"By my calculations, you must be here to kill my wife." The man walked along the pavilion bridge toward the group.

As he walked, countless beautiful, crystalline snowflakes, like sacred feathers, began to fall, filling the air of the Li family's royal courtyard.

Before long, the tiles, domes, and stone steps were covered by the silent, gentle snow.

Continuing forward, the cold frost around the white dragon transformed into countless ice spirits that danced like butterflies. They were pure and sacred, some clustering around him like mysterious snow guardians, while others scattered freely, gently touching the water and causing beautiful ice orchids to bloom.

The ice orchids touched and intertwined, and the pavilion and the lake had already become a painting. Everything seemed to have stopped, except for the man on the bridge, who continued to walk slowly.

"Zhu Minglang!" The masked man uttered this name as if it were a curse.

"You are the beggar who was having fun with the lady in the dungeon. It seems the rumors were wrong." Du Cheng stared at Zhu Minglang, his tone playful, "But you are still just a commoner."

Zhu Minglang laughed.

The world was frozen, and the poetic and picturesque scene was called mundane.

If your eyesight is so bad, I can dig them out and give them to my White Qi to play with as glass marbles.

"Master, the situation seems to have changed. Don't waste time with this nobody. Just deal with Li Yunzi." At this moment, the only female among the four heroes said.

This woman looked to be in her thirties, with a pale face and bright red lips. Despite the warm weather, she was wrapped in many layers of clothing, making her look bulky and strange.

"Lu Xiao, this person is yours. I believe you will make him taste the agony of a life worse than death, for he has defiled your goddess!" Du Cheng laughed.

After saying this, Du Cheng led the four strong men toward the silver courtyard.

The masked man, however, took a step toward Zhu Minglang, his body seeming to be flowing with molten lava. The red liquid soon formed a large pool on the ground.

The liquid burned like oil on fire, the flames rising high enough to leap over the fence.

In the flames, a brown-gold creature emerged, as if summoned from hell. Its mighty body stood tall amidst the raging fire, and its terrifying aura was like a horde of demons from the inferno, extremely fearsome!

"Look closely at who I am!!" Lu Xiao's anger surged, standing on the dragon's horn.

He was about to remove his mask and glare at Zhu Minglang.

But the bridge was empty, and Zhu Minglang, who had been in front of him just before the fire dragon appeared, had vanished, seemingly in an instant.

Did he run away???

As Lu Xiao was stunned, Du Cheng and the four heroes of the palace frowned, their eyes fixed on Zhu Minglang and the white dragon blocking their path.

Lu Xiao turned around and saw that Zhu Minglang was completely ignoring him, his entire being like a volcano about to erupt!!!

Inferno Magma Fire!!!

He had survived the ancient mountain's death and obtained the unparalleled Inferno Magma Fire. His former golden fire dragon was now an Inferno Fire Dragon, and he was not the same as before!!!

He wanted Zhu Minglang to be the first to sacrifice to the fire dragon!!!

"Recognize your place. To us, some dragon masters are even worse than beggars, just dogs wagging their tails for food!" Du Cheng's eyes showed even more disdain as he saw Zhu Minglang blocking them again.

"Four elders, go deal with Li Yunzi. I and Lu Xiao will handle this troublesome lackey first."

The four heroes immediately dispersed, heading in different directions toward the courtyard.

Zhu Minglang had no intention of letting any of them pass. He gently stroked the white dragon's neck, which was covered in tassel-like fur, as if he had already set up a trap from the beginning.

"Ice Realm!"

With a low chant, the icy world suddenly shook. Silver waterfalls poured from the hazy sky, the ice crystals flowing like slow, silver mercury.

Countless ice particles formed a waterfall, a curtain hanging between the courtyard and the pavilion, crystal clear and transparent, but creating a barrier that divided the two worlds completely!

The four heroes stopped under the Ice Realm, staring in shock at the silver waterfall that they could not cross, then turned their gaze to the white dragon man...

"This dragon master is not to be underestimated, be careful!" The gaunt man among the four heroes said.

"Then let's cut off his head and give it to Li Yunzi as a consolation gift!" Du Cheng said coldly.

However, before the four heroes could act, Lu Xiao, riding the Inferno Fire Dragon, charged forward in a rage.

The wild and fierce brown-gold dragon raised its head, charging toward Zhu Minglang while spewing Inferno Magma from its mouth!!!
