Where did the 'dragon' that was protecting these Hard-shelled Dragon Fruits originally go to?

It didn't take long for Yue Yang to be filled with suspicions. He definitely knew that something was wrong, but he could not think of what was wrong. As Yue Yang was collecting his thoughts, suddenly, a black silhouette appeared behind him soundlessly. With a unique, magnetic voice, he asked, "Are you looking for me?"

"Eh?" Yue Yang was shocked.

He had always been careful and never let an enemy approach him closer than five metres before, but he did not sense this person's presence at all.

Who exactly was this person?

He forced himself to calm down and turned over to look, but he found that there was nothing behind him. There wasn't a single trace of existence of any humans. It was as if the sentence that was spoken just now was simply a hallucination inside his head. Yue Yang was completely motionless. He did not use his eyes, but he could feel that the enemy was right behind him. Not only that, his enemy was extending his hands close to the back of Yue Yang's head. If Yue Yang had moved even a little, the enemy's hand would probably smash the back of his head...

A drop of cold sweat glistened as it slid down Yue Yang's forehead.

This was the most powerful enemy that he had encountered in his life.

"Are you scared?" The person acted as if he was provoking a little worm. His voice was filled with disdain.

"Who, who are you?" Yue Yang turned around quickly and found that there was a tall imposing middle-aged man with a power that seemed to belong to a god. He had a haughty look, and he looked at Yue Yang with a gaze as sharp as spears. Yue Yang felt another jolt of shock in his heart.

This unknown middle-aged man was definitely not inferior to Jun Wu You in any way.

Furthermore, he could conceal his killing intent even better than Jun Wu You.

That middle-aged man heard Yue Yang's question and furrowed his eyebrows. "You actually dared to not recognise me?"

Yue Yang was sweating profusely. Could it be that this was tragic guy's deceased father Yue Qiu, as talked about in legends? No, that was not right, everyone else said that the tragic guy resembled his father, Yue Qiu shouldn't look like that... Was this guy the tragic guy's uncle? Or another relative? Or a killer out to plot murder against the tragic guy? Yue Yang's thoughts flashed as he thought of the endless possibilities, yet none of them could be proven to be true. However, Yue Yang was certain that this man was hiding his killing intent that was directed towards Yue Yang. No matter who it was, it was definitely an enemy and not a friend.

"Commoners usually call me the Marquis of Zi Jin." The middle-aged man called himself the Marquis of Zi Jin.

"What?" Yue Yang turned pale at this.

Within the three great countries Da Xia, Tian Luo, and Zi Jin, there were countless of strong rankers present. No matter whether it was the Da Xia Emperor Jun Wu You, the Tian Luo Emperor Hua Xu Ri (Sephilia: literal rising sun) or the Zi Jin Emperor Chu Tian Xiao, they were rankers who were at least Level 7 [Overlord] and above. Their strength was extremely terrifying and could completely deter a military unit from invading.

Within the royal families, almost none could match the power of the three emperors.

The sole exception was this the Marquis of Zi Jin who was standing in front of Yue Yang. He was the publicly recognised ranker whose strength was said to be even stronger than the three emperors.

Thirty years ago, he had once challenged his brother, the Zi Jin Emperor Chu Tian Xiao, for the position of Zi Jin Emperor... The whole Soaring Dragon Continent was shocked by this. Countless warriors in the world witnessed it and Zi Jin's Emperor also agreed to it. However, a month before the challenge, the Marquis of Zi Jin, who had an arrogant personality, had offended Tian Luo's Emperor Hua Xu Ri when he went to the Tian Luo Kingdom as an ambassador . He was subsequently heavily injured by one of the three Heavenly Imperial Guardians of Tian Luo, Ye Hou... Afterwards, the Marquis of Zi Jin fought his elder brother while still recovering from a serious injury. After three days and three nights of bitter fighting, he was eventually defeated.

If not for being seriously injured, nobody would have been able to predict who would win the battle.

If not for being seriously injured, nobody would have been able to predict who would win the battle.

And thus, the Marquis of Zi Jin made his name with this battle, becoming the strongest prince in everyone's hearts. Even Zi Jin's Emperor, Chu Tian Xiao had also set up a prince's seat nine steps below the Imperial Throne as respect to the Marquis of Zi Jin.

Everyone on the planet felt that perhaps the elder brother Chu Tian Xiao was more suited to be an emperor. However, strength-wise, the Marquis of Zi Jin was better than him.

the Marquis of Zi Jin was originally the Zi Jin Country's Sixth Prince.

However, after the battle for the throne of Zi Jin, the three great countries' emperors came together to give him the unique title of "the Marquis of Zi Jin".

This kind of overpowering existence had appeared right in front of him out of the blue. Yue Yang did not think that this was a good thing, especially when he met him next to the hot spring lake where the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit grew... Yue Yang's vigilance was at its highest. He wasn't sure whether this guy had tailed him or had made camp here early on. If the Marquis of Zi Jin was here to take the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruits, then after he had taken it, he should have left. Why was he still staying here?
