"We didn't hear anything, nor did we see anything."

The remaining few spoke, and immediately dispersed towards all directions.

They thought that at least some of them might be able to escape.

After all, in that moment, no one wanted to lose their life.

As long as there was a chance, no one was willing to stay.

Although they heard Wang Ye questioning the dragon, it wasn't taken seriously by them, but they all knew that the suspicions were quite significant.

It was precisely because the whole matter was too serious that Wang Ye was driven to kill these fellows.

Even though these people had already scattered to escape, they suddenly fell from the air to the ground mid-flight.

They died without understanding why they were killed.

Until one person found a spot on his body that was scorched black, did they realize how terrifying the black flame they had just seen truly was.

"All dealt with. You can leave now."

Wang Ye looked at the situation resolved, no longer troubling the dragon before him.

Afterward, he left with Tina, unwilling to mention the matter again.

The dragon saw this and immediately fled.

However, it hadn't anticipated that Wang Ye left behind some undetectable black flames on the ground.

These were his contingencies.

The sole purpose was to find a way to track the dragon.

Next, Wang Ye gathered all the items from these people and took them away.

He couldn't leave anything behind as evidence.

So, everything was destroyed.

Then, he cleared any traces from here, leaving not a single mark.

Thus, the task seemed overly smooth for the two of them.

In the following days, Tina kept watching Wang Ye, as if she didn't recognize him anymore.

Suddenly, Wang Ye stopped, turning back to look in a certain direction.

He remembered something and immediately tracked the direction of the dragon.

At this moment, the dragon seemed to sense movement and quickly accelerated towards the north.

But when it wanted to avoid Wang Ye, there was nowhere to escape.

"How did you know I'm interested in the domain lord of the Six Paths Realm?"

"Everyone that comes here wants to know. Don't you know?"

The dragon quickly reacted, a hint of panic in its eyes.

This was immediately caught by Wang Ye, who intentionally lowered his head, pretending to understand.

Tina, on the side, seemed somewhat perplexed, totally unable to comprehend Wang Ye's intentions for pursuing now.

In the next moment, the dragon was let go and redirected its course, fleeing at top speed.

Wang Ye didn't chase again, but he had a black flame in his right hand.

On the other side, after the dragon escaped, it didn't notice something.

Behind it, there was a flame following, keeping at a distance.

Thus, the dragon fled the entire way until stopping three days later.

It returned in fear to a very hidden pool of water, then submerged itself, masking all its aura.

Unless seen with one's own eyes, it was impossible to detect a dragon here.

At that moment, a flame the size of a fist burned continuously like wild fire, igniting a small patch of grass around it.

Now, Wang Ye and Tina revealed themselves in this black flame.

They observed the surroundings, made some marks here, and then quietly left.

Just like that, Wang Ye took Tina and began to return to Dark City.

On the way back, Tina kept questioning why he let the dragon go.

She clearly wanted to understand the underlying reason.

Wang Ye then said something that left her incredulous.

"That dragon is something our Guardian Spirit Clan's lineage can sense. It intentionally hid its power, yet I still found it."

"You mean... that dragon is actually very powerful, and pretended to be weak when it met us?"

Tina finally understood that was the case!

But after they left, that dragon suddenly surfaced again and started to flee.

In its view, since its identity was exposed, it had to find a new place to hide.

Unfortunately, this was exactly what Wang Ye hoped for.

Just as the dragon left, an invisible ember in the air quietly imprinted onto the dragon's body.

This imprint turned into a palm-sized mark, attaching to the dragon's body before vanishing inside it.

Wang Ye could sense it; the dragon hadn't noticed, so he felt relieved to completely leave.

He felt the Guardian Spirit Clan's task was too quick, too sudden.

Thus, he wanted to use this method to directly lock onto the target.

Afterward, he and Tina began their return.

This time, they truly returned to Dark City.

Half a month later upon returning, they were stopped at the gate of Dark City.

The reason was that the Dark City guards were provocatively blocking Wang Ye and Tina's entry.

One of them specifically targeted Wang Ye and informed him that he had to give double the cultivation resources to enter.

Wang Ye and Tina did not start by being uncooperative, but they realized the old man from last night had been watching, understanding it was him causing trouble.

Hence, they became uncooperative.

Tina wanted to reason first but received no response.

Instead, when these people heard Wang Ye mention chasing a dragon, they turned to ask him about the dragon's situation.

This was beyond their duties.

So naturally, Wang Ye wasn't going to answer.

As the two guards targeted him more, Wang Ye became more inclined to deal with them.

Just at this time, the old man in the distance looked at this scene, with deep meaning in his gaze towards Wang Ye and Tina, puffing on a pipe and seeming to enjoy the situation.

This immediately made Wang Ye understand that to solve the current problem, it couldn't be directly addressed.

He thought if the old man knew the evidence was in his hands yet dared to cause trouble, it indicated a problem.

"Tina, we should leave here first."

"Huh? Why?"

Tina wasn't as alert as Wang Ye, thinking the small problem could be resolved.

But when she wanted to step forward, Wang Ye had already pulled her back.

An unexpected situation appeared in front of them.

Similarly, someone else was stopped by Dark City guards, and that person seemed even more irritable than Wang Ye and Tina; the result was being cut into halves after three exchanged words.

So aggressive, yet no one around dared to help.

Tina saw this and knew better than to speak, only obeying Wang Ye's command.

But as they tried to leave, the other side wasn't willing to let them go.

"Wait, you two can't leave."

The guards seemingly heard some command, suddenly stretched out their hands to stop Wang Ye and Tina.

In Dark City, no one dared to provoke these guards.

Because behind the guards stands the Dark City Lord, possessing the power of the Eighth Order Emperor Peak.
