Capítulo 2306: Chapter 2306: The Long Clan
“Are you saying there’s soone behind the gold dragon?”
Julius Reed finally felt a wave of emotion inside.
Back at the grand temple in Mont, he had witnessed a mysterious man riding away on a gold dragon.
Now, Windy Johnson’s words coincidentally matched that scene.
As a result, the anticipation in Julius Reed’s heart grew heavier and heavier.
“Yes, I’ve always believed that the gold dragon is the most powerful among the nether beasts. It possesses the ability to think, not as intelligently as humans, but at least enough to manipulate people.”
Windy Johnson fell into mories, starting to ponder the crux of the issue.
“At the ti, I always thought there was soone advising it. Otherwise, how could a dragon possess such profound wisdom?”
“You might not be aware, but we had interacted with the dragon race before. Long ago, they wreaked havoc in the mortal world and were nearly wiped out. Trent Marsh insisted on sparing them.”
“Dragons aren’t strangers to us. We know them well, so when I was sched against by a dragon, I guessed it had controlled certain people.”
“But to my surprise, within our Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, there was soone who subdued the gold dragon, turning it into his slave. In the end, it wasn’t the gold dragon that wanted to conquer the world, but that person using the gold dragon to sche against to achieve it.”
“That day, I clearly rembered, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance held a routine lords’ eting.”
Windy Johnson coughed a few tis, lost in reminiscence.
“Unlike before, sothing big happened this ti at the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance! Previously, as the Imperial Heaven Official, I intentionally created conflicts during the distribution of territories, causing two forces to start fighting openly and secretly, until it reached a life-and-death scenario!”
“The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was already on the verge of collapse! There was no way to resolve this conflict. Silvio Reed, knowing the seriousness of the situation, called for such a eting.”
“I think, Long Wind has told you, and I also told you. Silvio Reed, to quell the anger, had his people offer up land, which seemingly stirred Emily’s ill intentions. Both factions looked down on Silvio Reed.”
“The tension at this eting was palpable.”
“At the ti, there was a fierce conflict over the feudal lands! I pretended to stop it, unsuccessfully, but everyone sympathized with . The day before, many people had approached , hinting that if I were willing to replace Silvio Reed, they would assist in rising to power. The price was to kill the other faction.”
“I agreed to it. Both sides were kept in the dark.”
“That day, Silvio Reed sat on the dragon throne, and everyone started to challenge him.”
“They wanted to force him to abdicate. But I didn’t react. Because I was coerced, the gold dragon would surely step forward!”
“Sure enough, the gold dragon appeared, joining those people to kill Silvio Reed!”
“Trent Marsh wasn’t there, Dragon Dance disappeared, and Silvio Reed was deserted by his allies! With the gold dragon controlling the nether beasts, Silvio Reed had no chance whatsoever.”
“But you know what? A king is a king! Silvio Reed’s hall had a formation! A very strong formation, called the Dragon Slayer Formation!”
“Silvio Reed gave everyone a chance; he drew the golden sword, pointed at the people, and shouted ‘Rebels will die.’ But no one listened, except , standing in place, not moving.”
“Everyone, as if insane, rushed in to kill Silvio Reed, ultimately perishing under the formation.”
“Even the gold dragon had its dragon tendons severed. Silvio Reed showed us what a true War God was!”
“But you know, from start to finish, what puzzled was the person who orchestrated never appeared. The injured gold dragon fled frantically. But all those people died.”
“Silvio Reed walked through the formation, saved , but then disappeared himself.”
“Since then, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance beca nothing more than a legend.”
“Those who survived began to expand, waging chaotic wars. The land grew larger, but martial artists had diminished.”
“I thought it all ended just like that.”
Windy Johnson shook his head with a bitter smile, “But later, I found out, Lord Silvio didn’t die! The Law Enforcent Team took us all here, detaining us for generations. They let us get trapped, starved, and die here.”
“It’s a law set by Trent Marsh, implented throughout the whole Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.”
Windy Johnson sighed, “I don’t hate Lord Silvio. Lord Silvio didn’t have to save ; he understood everything. But Lord Silvio told he saved because we’re brothers, and I’m confined because under the greater good, everyone is equal.”
“Is the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance gone just like that? What about Silvio Reed?”
Julius Reed looked at Windy Johnson and asked, “And you, how co you can co and go freely without restrictions?”
“? I don’t have free access. We’re trapped here, unable to leave, but we need to live. Everyone was starving, and we ca up with this idea.”
“We pretended to be a port, luring people here and then eating them. Is it cruel? To survive, we had no choice. Now that it’s over, everyone’s dead, no more suffering.”
“As for my limited ability to go out, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance is no more. No one reinforces the formations here, and they lack capability. As the formations loosen, I can leave temporarily. But there are only ten days each year I can leave. Coincidentally, today is one of them.”
He spoke, having little energy left.
Although not fatal, he was indeed quite tired.
“For the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance to end like this, it’s too unusual. Do you know who the person behind the gold dragon is?”
Julius Reed speculated, “Could it be Silvio Reed? Would he do this to eliminate dissenters or test everyone’s loyalty?”
“No! Absolutely not!” Windy Johnson vowed, “Everyone knows Lord Silvio’s character. He wouldn’t do this. If he wanted to kill soone, the king has the power. On the contrary, I have always suspected that person is Trent Marsh! Because just after Trent Marsh disappeared, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance underwent such a change. Everyone knew Trent Marsh coveted that position for a long ti.”
Windy Johnson was convinced it was Trent Marsh.
Even without a shred of solid evidence.
“I can tell you very responsibly, it’s not Trent Marsh. Trent Marsh isn’t as scheming as you think. He was trapped in the divine realm by Dragon Dance, only recently returned.”
Julius Reed had once suspected that Windy Johnson might be the mastermind and concocted a story to exonerate himself.
But many details could be explained away.
“Trent Marsh? Trapped in the divine realm?” Windy Johnson slightly frowned, “Could this be related to the Dragon Clan?”
“The Dragon Clan?”
Julius Reed asked back, “What kind of clan is this?”
“Dragon Dance is the representative of the Dragon Clan! The Dragon surna signifies dragon tars. Back then, dragons were eradicated with the help of the Dragon Clan tars, led by Dragon Dance. That’s also why Dragon Dance had even more nominal authority than Lord Silvio in the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!”
