Chapter 1756 Time Up

?More of the Dragon Emperor's soldiers arrived in the secret realm, seemingly prepared for when a battle broke out. The many participants of the current competition had been told to leave the secret realm for some time as well.

Long Fangyu waited with his father, his eyes on the barrier in front of him, but his mind somewhere else.

He couldn't believe over 2 years had passed since that day when he found out the truth of everything. All the words his father had said that day, they all flowed right back into him.

His father was a criminal, a murderer, someone who had gone against the Azure Dragon himself, and yet here he was still without any consequence.

He was even going to kill another King just because a prophecy said so. The prince felt even worse than he had for the past 2 years.

'Mother, what should I do?' he thought. Why was he so bad at choosing any sides and sticking to it?

The Emperor waited for half an hour to pass. He wanted to talk more with the King about many of the things he had surprised everyone with, but it seemed the young man didn't want to talk, so the Emperor let him be.

Time slowly passed and the half hour was gone. The Emperor waited for someone to come out of the Voidgate once the time had passed, but even as they waited, nobody flew out at all.

The Emperor waited patiently, but even as minutes passed by, nobody came.

"Your time is up. What is happening? Where are your men?" the Dragon Emperor finally lost his patience and asked.

"Who?" Alex asked.

"Your men," the Dragon Emperor said again. "Where are they?"

"What do you need with my men?" Alex asked back. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"You bastard! Are you playing with me?"

The Dragon Emperor stood up in anger. As he did, the hundreds of people that had gathered behind him stood up as well, ready for whatever command they were to be given.

"Where is the person that is to bring the Ivory sword?" the Dragon Emperor asked. "Why has he not arrived yet?"

"I do not know what you mean, Emperor. Nobody is bringing the Ivory sword. I brought it with me myself. I will be the one trading it after all," Alex said.

"Oh, wow!" Alex's voice came out from the talisman. "Hahaha! I can't believe you actually fell for this. Since you are already duped, would you mind telling me where my Alchemists are?"

"Where are you?" the Emperor asked instead.

"I asked first," Alex said. "My alchemists?"

"AARGH!" the Emperor shouted and punched the talisman and the stumps, instantly destroying everything there. "RAARGHH!"

He continued shouting in anger.

His subordinates watched him in horror, realizing that their Emperor had been played with.

The Emperor took a deep breath and a look of pure hatred filled his face. "Find him," he said slowly. "He shouldn't have left the place yet. Find him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," most of the soldiers instantly sprinted off.

"The rest of you, have the alchemists in the Dragon Palace be gathered right away. I'm going to kill them all."

The members of the Head Legion looked around at each other before quickly nodding. Then, they all proceeded to leave the secret realm.

Alex arrived in the Dragon Capital, flying atop a small Immortal sailing vessel that gave him speed that surpassed even the fastest ship that he had seen to date.

The ship was red, purple, yellow, and orange, the colors of the Phoenix; it was gifted to him by Scarlet once she had finally been able to access her Soul Space as well.

'This ship truly is incredible,' Alex thought as he landed outside the Dragon Capital.

He had teleported to the Brightfalls city in the Emerald kingdom and had then flown straight in this direction from there.

What had once taken him half a day of travel, now took him only half an hour with the new ship.

Alex was already disguised, so he made his way into the capital, finding his way to the Royal School of Alchemy.

He had no idea where his alchemists were kept, but he hoped they would be in the school. As such, that was the first place he had to start searching from.

Thinking so, he arrived at the school and went in.
