145: Dragon Emperor's Secret Talk! Chen De's Decision...

And so, Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King Lei Kan went to consult the Dragon Emperor.

When a Dragon King reports news to the Dragon Emperor, even Chen De, as the Dragon King's son, was not qualified to listen in.

So, Chen De consciously did not follow Thunder Kan when he entered.

However, this did not mean that Chen De had no way to eavesdrop.

Chen De had a deep appreciation for the Evil God Essence's ability to conceal itself.

So Chen De left a tiny bit of black liquid on the materials and inside the room.

The places Chen De put it were very hidden, and coupled with its own concealing effect, Thunder Kan, the Dragon King, couldn't sense anything.

By then, the Dragon Emperor would just be a phantom, even less able to sense anything.

Chen De didn't believe he could come over and deal with him through the 'phone line'!

After finishing this, Chen De should proceed with his next action.

However, for caution's sake, Chen De set that black liquid to standalone mode, not maintaining direct contact with him.

Anyway, Chen De wasn't in a hurry, waiting a bit wouldn't hurt.

So, Chen De waited quietly, and after about half an incense stick's time, Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King Lei Kan was almost done and came out.

When he came out, Chen De saw his relaxed and pleased expression, and knew something good must have happened.

So, Chen De immediately connected to the black liquid inside and received the information.

Instantly, the scene of Thunder Kan's conversation with the Dragon Emperor appeared in Chen De's mind.

"Oh, Leizi, what happened to your face? Why does it look like someone slapped you?"

"These are all illusions, illusions..."

"But your face looks red to me, not like an illusion?"

"This is..., oh, never mind that for now, important matters first!"

"What is it?"

"It's about the birthday gift Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor sent through an envoy?"

"Oh~, that! It seems you've already received the item. The item is indeed valuable, even as a birthday gift, it's quite precious. But there's no need to specially use this notification array to express your gratitude! This array consumes a lot of resources and shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary."

"You mean that Ancient Dragon's Beard Ginseng?"

"What Ancient Dragon's Beard Ginseng? It's clearly the Grand Purity Three Soul Realm!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing this, Thunder Kan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?"

"Dragon Emperor, time is short, so I'll make a long story short."

...

"So that's it, greedy for birthday gifts, plundering the treasury, no wonder you're like this. However, this doesn't sound like something an envoy I sent would do! Could it be an imposter?"

"Reporting to Dragon Emperor, after such a major incident, the envoy's identity was naturally confirmed repeatedly. I can guarantee that the person who came was absolutely the Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragon, absolutely, absolutely no problem. The most crucial thing is that his soul also had no problems whatsoever!"

"Here, Yuan Chuan's life tablet also shows no abnormalities. This suggests that Yuan Chuan might indeed have a problem. However, the specific situation still needs to wait until he returns for me to personally question him before a final conclusion can be reached! If he doesn't return..."

"Furthermore, you were right to kill those who noticed your abnormality. Firstly, if those remaining guys went back and spread rumors, it would be very detrimental to your situation. Secondly, if Yuan Chuan truly had a problem, as an envoy, as a dragon by my side, as my close subordinate, if even he had a problem, wouldn't that mean that my side is already riddled with holes? At that time, if those hungry wolves found out, they would inevitably overthink things. They would absolutely not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and kick us while we're down."

"Yes!"

"You don't need to worry too much now, I will notify the other eleven branches to remain vigilant. I'm worried that someone wants to target my Dragon Clan. My Dragon Clan is the most powerful clan among the demon race, but that doesn't mean the entire demon race is ours to command. Moreover, there are those human profound practitioners eyeing us covetously. An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against!"

"As for that Yuan Chuan, whether he returns or not, he won't escape. No matter where he runs, I have a way to catch him and get to the bottom of this!"

...

They continued to chatter on for a long time.

After watching the entire process, Chen De's eyes gleamed with sharp light.

With another casual command, all the black liquid in the room self-destructed.

Chen De didn't take this small matter to heart, but was pondering the conversation between the Dragon Emperor and Thunder Kan.

The Dragon Emperor's words, both explicit and implicit, were full of trust in Thunder Kan.

Moreover, he immediately tried to bridge the gap with Thunder Kan, making their conversation seem less stiff.

Chen De didn't believe that the Dragon Emperor and Thunder Kan's relationship could be that good.

If it were truly that good, and such an incident occurred, Thunder Kan's first thought wouldn't have been to kill to silence witnesses.

Instead, he would have immediately apprehended the Dragon Emperor's envoy, Yuan Chuan, and either questioned him himself or handed him over to the Dragon Emperor for thorough interrogation.

How could he have just let him go?

But these matters had nothing to do with Chen De.

From their conversation, Chen De still extracted some key information.

For example, the Dragon Emperor indeed had something that could locate Yuan Chuan.

At the same time, Chen De roughly knew what they wanted to do and could make some arrangements in advance.

As for Thunder Kan's side, to be honest, Chen De had already infiltrated him quite thoroughly.

He just needed to cleverly expose Yuan Chuan at the end, and everything would be OK.

Again, Chen De didn't want to waste time here.

The most pressing issue Chen De faced now was the fifth Devour Evolution.

Those were just arrangements Chen De made to gain more attribute points.

At the same time, Chen De should also quickly think of a way to return.

Go back directly?

It wasn't that Chen De had no way; he could just die completely here. However, unless absolutely necessary, Chen De still didn't want to use up a life like that. People who don't cherish their own lives will eventually be abandoned by life.

Chen De pondered, and finally decided to first advance his body cultivation realm to the peak of the Gui Yi Realm.

Then, he would add the breakthrough attribute points to the limit, which was still three points short.

After that, Chen De would return to the place where he was picked up to take a look.

From Li Waner's soul-searching memories, Chen De already knew he was picked up in that place.

Even if that place wasn't the entrance to where Chen De came from, Chen De believed that since he could get in, it wouldn't be too far from the entrance.

Now that he had acknowledged his father, and had a general understanding of the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon Clan, Chen De should leave this place.

He would first go out and pull off a few big jobs, thoroughly pushing his strength to its current peak.

As he thought, Chen De found an ordinary Thunder Howling Sky Dragon and transferred himself into him.
