Chapter 1694 Oath and Command
1694 Oath and Command
"K-Kill?" The Dragon Emperor looked at his wife in surprise. "But... but he's his Majesty's son. That beast is his soon-to-be wife. We can't kill them."
"What other choices do we have, dear?" the Empress asked. "We've already done so much to escape from your prophecy, what's one more death?"
"But... it's the Azure Dragon's son. I don't know if I can—"
"It's kill or be killed, my husband," the Empress said. "What do you choose?"
The Dragon Emperor grabbed his head in his hand and clutched his blue hair in a grip. The answer was simple. He wanted to live, so he would do anything to live.
The prophecy... was it really coming true after all this time?
Above your realm shall they proclaim your end. A King, a son of a King, and a Tiger pure White. If this was to come true, where were the King and the son of a King?
Or was it referring to the little cat whose father was the Azure Dragon? In that case, was King not a literal term and instead a generic term for a monarch?
Had he been looking at it wrong the entire time?
'No, that can't be,' the Dragon Emperor thought. 'A King means a King. Otherwise, I would have an even larger problem in my hand. In the first place, if the prophecy counted the Azure Dragon as a king, then he couldn't kill me anyhow.'
"We must go for the White Tiger first, the bigger one that's the main threat," the Dragon Emperor said. "The smaller one is too weak to do anything, despite its talents. It won't be a problem for a long time."
"We will still have to take care of it," the Empress said.
The Dragon Emperor nodded before letting a sigh release. "Are we really attacking the Azure Dragon? It feels... wrong."
"Anything for our survival, dear," the Empress said. "We will need to make preparations now. Immortals can't attack us, correct?"
"They can, but not the Rulers. They made an oath to never kill us," the Dragon Emperor said. "If they do, they die."
Everyone enthusiastically went along with the Dragon Emperor. The Empress came along with them and the group of fighters started getting confused. Some asked the Empress to stay behind, but she wanted to fight too. She was, after all, the 2nd strongest right after the Dragon Emperor.
The group of soldiers was still confused about where they were going. Yan Yating started having a really bad feeling.
Then, the Emperor took them to a teleportation formation and used a token only he held to teleport them all into the Azure Dragon's realm.
"Where... where are we, Your Majesty?" one of the soldiers asked.
"We are in the Azure Dragon's realm," the Dragon Emperor told them. "Here, you will find a White Cat and its kitten. Find them, and kill them."
The soldiers behind the Dragon Emperor looked around with a confused look. "Umm, Your Majesty..." Yan Yating started speaking. "What do you mean—"
"You all made the oath to follow my orders for today," the Dragon Emperor said. "Now go do it. Kill anyone that gets in your way."
The soldiers paled in fear, but the oath made them act. Immediately, they flew away from where they were in search of the White cat. They found her lying in the sun and attacked.
In a panic, Shi Meiyoung attacked back as well to protect herself and her son, getting into a fight despite only being in the Saint Transformation 5th realm.
The Azure Dragon appeared in a flash, teleporting from somewhere else, confused and surprised at what was going on. "Stop it!" he shouted. "What are you doing?"
He created a small gust of wind to stop everyone from attacking, making a buffer between the group.
"Your Majesty, please step aside," the Dragon Emperor said. "We will be quick about it."
"About what?" the Azure Dragon asked, appearing in front of one of the attackers who managed to move past the wall of air using a treasure of his. The Azure Dragon simply defended the person's attack, doing nothing at all in retaliation.
"Your Majesty, my apologies, but your wife and son are going to kill me in the future," the Dragon Emperor said with an emotionless voice. "I must get rid of them before they can be a problem."
"You... you want to kill my wife and son?" the Azure Dragon asked in disbelief.
"As I said, please step aside," the Dragon Emperor said. "We'll be quick about it."
