Supreme Dragon Seal

“The judgment of the God of Light!” Yan Shengyi shouted loudly. The judgement sword in her hand emitted a dazzling light as it struck towards the figure of the black-robed old man that was faintly visible within the sea of blood.

Wherever the light passed, the countless ghostly hands and claws that emerged from the blood sea turned into ashes, and the boundless divine power merged into the blood sea.

“Boom!”

The blood sea surged, but the black-robed old man simply waved his robe, and a thick darkness swept over.

“The darkness will eventually shroud the earth. The insignificant Chief Judge of the Light Temple also dares to obstruct me, hehehe…” The black-robed old man laughed harshly.

The clash between the light and the darkness lasted for a moment, but then the darkness suddenly devoured the light and surged towards Yan Shengyi.

“Puff!” Yan Shengyi spurted out a mouthful of blood. Her entire body was instantly bound by darkness, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

“With the power of light, drive away the darkness and evil. I am willing to merge my body into the light and expel the darkness…”

At that moment, ten Judgment Knights burst out from the sea of blood, chanting in unison. The spearheads of their judgment spears met, forming what seemed like a firmament.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light burst forth from the ten Judgment Knights. Their entire beings rapidly dissipated within the white light. This white light exploded and surged in all directions. It rushed into the blood sea, causing it to dissipate, and advanced towards the darkness, causing it to recede.

“Chief Judge, run!” A voice faintly echoed within the bursting white light before dissipating.

Yan Shengyi, who had been bound by darkness, suddenly regained her freedom. Her figure turned into a white light and broke through the black curtain above the blood sea like lightning.

The black-robed old man roared in anger, shouting loudly, “You cannot escape from the grasp of this god….”

….

Qi Bei gathered all his trusted subordinates and began making arrangements.

“I need someone to disguise as the City Lord, appearing from time to time. We must make everyone believe that the I am still in the West Spirit City,” Qi Bei said.

“With a magical mask, there shouldn’t be any problem with the disguise. But, Lord, where are you going? When will you come back?” Lone Eye asked.

“Don’t ask too many questions about that. During my absence, Lie Feng will be in charge of everything. If any urgent matters arise, you can make decisions on your own,” Qi Bei said calmly.

He thought for a moment and continued, “The Divine Dragon Army should be on constant war readiness. If someone comes with my token and gives orders, they must be executed.”

“Yes, Lord,” the trusted subordinates all replied in unison.

Qi Bei returned to the City Lord’s Mansion and gave some instructions to the Huan Ying and Mi Qi.

Both the older and younger girl seemed a bit sulky. Huan Ying pleaded with Qi Bei several times to let her accompany him, but he refused. The patriarch specifically emphasized that only he was allowed, so there must be a reason for it.

“Xiao Jiu, Thirteen, come out,” Qi Bei said.

Two shadows appeared simultaneously, “Master.”

“You two don’t need to follow me either. Follow my substitute,” Qi Bei said.

“Master…”

“No need for more words. Follow the orders,” Qi Bei said in a deep voice.

“Yes, master,” Xiao Jiu and Thirteen said without further discussion. They had to obey any command from Qi Bei.

As for Leng Sufeng, who had been lingering in the City Lord’s Mansion, Qi Bei also had a conversation with him and told him not to follow him but to wait for his return in the West Spirit City.

While his substitute began patrolling the West Spirit City, Qi Bei quietly departed alone.

At this moment, Qi Bei’s golden hair had been dyed black, and he had a stubble beard on his face. He wore armor adorned with metal and carried a heavy sword. In an instant, he transformed from a handsome young man into a rugged warrior.

Qi Bei turned his head while riding on horseback and looked at the West Spirit City, which had become a small black dot. This city belonged to him, but now he had to leave quietly.

However, he would definitely come back.

Qi Bei urged his horse forward, galloping quickly.

The border of the Falling Sunset Kingdom was still about eight thousand miles away, spanning almost half of the northwest region, crossing the Soulless Mountain and the Yellow Sand River.

There weren’t many caravans that traveled this route because it was not only geographically complex but also filled with dangers.

Adventurers like Qi Bei, who traveled alone, were even rarer. Not to mention the numerous bands of thieves, there were also constantly lurking magical beasts, posing a significant threat. Sometimes, one could even encounter thousands of large magical beast groups along this route.

Therefore, after passing the Meng border city near the Golden Leaf Imperial City, Qi Bei rarely encountered signs of human presence.

In the late night, a cold crescent moon hung alone in the sky, devoid of any stars.

The night wind in the northwest was extremely cold. If an ordinary person didn’t have a tent, they would be frozen into a block of stone overnight.

Qi Bei leaned against the windward side of a small hill, lit a bonfire, and began to enjoy the fine wine and delicacies he had prepared in his spatial ring.

Being alone outside, he didn’t feel lonely. On the contrary, he always found it refreshing to be surrounded by crowds. Venturing alone also gave him a special feeling, at least he felt free.

Not far away, a magic leopard greedily stared at Qi Bei with its narrow eyes, slowly approaching.

Qi Bei had long released his consciousness within a radius of five hundred meters and had already noticed the magic leopard. However, for him, the leopard was no different from an ant, and he couldn’t be bothered with it.

The leopard circled around the hill, its muscles tense, preparing to attack.

But just then, the sound of clashing weapons suddenly came from a distance, and the magnificent magic radiance appeared exceptionally beautiful in the night sky. The energy fluctuations conveyed made the leopard abandon its attack and quickly run away.

“So late, who’s causing trouble?” Qi Bei expanded his consciousness to investigate and immediately sensed that hundreds of people were engaged in a fierce battle five miles away.

“Boss, things are getting tough. Half of our brothers are already down.”

“Damn it, retreat!”

Upon hearing this conversation, Qi Bei understood that a band of thieves had targeted a merchant caravan and had met their match.

He threw away the clean chicken leg bone in his hand and retracted his consciousness. Such incidents were common in the northwest region, as long as they didn’t provoke him, he couldn’t be bothered and had no interest in watching the commotion. Just a moment ago, his consciousness detected that the strongest individuals among this group were only a few senior-grade warriors and mages.

However, after a while, Qi Bei furrowed his brow. The direction the merchant caravan was heading was exactly where he was.
