Black Dragon Emperor had previously traveled to and from Africa with Chen Lang. When he left, there was no concealment, and the majestic Dragon Might swept across a corner of Africa.
This area was originally the sphere of influence of the two sisters Apas. Naturally, such a shocking movement could not be hidden from them.
Two Medusa figures were hanging high in the sky, looking at the direction in which the black dragon was leaving, their eyes full of doubts and fears.
They really don't understand why such an ancient black dragon like Emperor-level would step into their territory rashly?
But the black dragon was already far away. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, even if they were worried about the hidden dangers left by the other party, they were helpless. With just the strength of the two of them, they simply did not dare to pursue a peak Emperor black dragon. In the end, they had no choice but to give up, secretly strengthen the security of the territory, and wait and see what happens.
On the other side, Chen Lang brought Ding Yumian and Apas back to Dubai smoothly. As soon as they landed, they immediately asked Holy City about their movements.
When he learned that Holy City still made no move, sent no troops to attack, and had no new changes, he relaxed a little after having been tense for many days.
But this relaxation was fleeting and was replaced by deeper doubts.
Holy City lost three Archangel, Uriel, Remiel, and Raguel one after another. Such a heavy loss is a rare occurrence in the magic world in a thousand years. How could there be no reaction?
At first, Holy City publicly defined him as a heretic and launched a verbal crusade, but now, there is not even new public opinion and momentum, as if the previous Dubai war had never happened.
Chen Lang sat quietly on the top floor of Mage Tower, twirling a strand of black and purple rays on his fingertips, and after a moment of meditation, he suddenly became enlightened.
The fact that Holy City is standing still is by no means out of fear. It is more likely that they have other motives. They may want to use this incident to pretend to be dormant and lure those forces who are dissatisfied with Holy City's rule and secretly colluded with Dubai to show up on their own initiative, and then catch them all in one fell swoop to complete a thorough internal cleansing.
After thinking about this, Chen Lang raised a faint smile on his lips.
If so, it would be a great good thing for him!
What he lacks most right now is time. Time can allow him to continue to improve his own strength, allow people around him to break through with the help of resources, and allow Dubai's combat power to steadily increase.
Holy City is willing to give him this buffer period, so he will naturally not waste it.
But at the same time, Chen Lang's heart became more solemn.
The fall of one Fourteen-Winged Seraph and two Twelve Wings Archangel did not make Holy City take action hastily, which is enough to show how terrifying Holy City's background is, and there must be a more powerful combat power hidden.
Holy City has been in charge of the world for many years. He is definitely not a fool. If he was not completely sure, he would never be so calm.
This realization strengthened his determination to continue improving.
However, the road to cultivation has become increasingly difficult, and the dilemma of lack of resources has become more prominent.
Lightning Element was fortunate enough to find an exclusive mine, and was able to advance to the Forbidden Curse.
The fusion of the two elements of wind and earth has also been promoted with the help of two Earth Core.
But for Space Element and Shadow System, there are still no matching top-level resources.
The resources required for the forbidden spell are even more difficult to find. Even if he reaches his position, it does not mean that he can improve by improving.
As for Undead System, he has just awakened, and it is still far away to be promoted to High-level, let alone touch the forbidden curse level.
But Chen Lang also knows that although Undead System has shortcomings, it is an excellent war weapon.
Although he does not have millions of the Undead Army, the undead under his command are all elite. They all started out as Commander level and have strong combat power.
With this Undead Knight alone, even if he faces a small or medium-sized Demon Beast group or tribe, he can deal with it calmly without fear.
The undercurrents from the outside world have not affected Great Xia.
Although Holy City defined Chen Lang as a heinous heretic, within the territory of Great Xia, neither he nor the Chen family were affected at all.
The reason is that everything Chen Lang has done for Great Xia over the years has been witnessed by everyone. During the Ancient Capital rebellion, he participated in the resistance and defended the homes of countless people.
When Northern Border was in danger, he stepped forward to resist the invasion of Khufu and resolve the border crisis.
This kindness has long been engraved in the hearts of Master Great Xia and the people.
In addition, Shao Zheng personally came forward to refute the rumors and clarify that Holy City's accusations were pure slander, which further consolidated Chen Lang's reputation among Great Xia.
What's more, in the world of ordinary people, Magic Association is recognized as the top force. Although Holy City is powerful, it is only spread among nobles and high-level mages. Its conviction is difficult for ordinary people to believe.
Not to mention that Chen Lang is also the chief of the Asian Magic Association and holds the right to speak in the Asian magic world. Holy City's unilateral accusation will naturally not cause any trouble.
Except for Great Xia, Magic Association from the other four continents are also extremely quiet. They have never made any irritating remarks, nor have they followed the trend to denounce Chen Lang.
Previously, America and European Magic Association had shown signs of crusade due to the mineral vein incident. However, as Holy City and several Archangel suffered successive defeats, they also restrained their efforts and temporarily fell silent. Apparently they were waiting to see the situation and were unwilling to take sides easily.
I neither want to offend Holy City, who has a profound background, nor do I want to offend Chen Lang, who is gaining momentum.
A vigorous battle and a wide-ranging dispute over mineral veins just ended, and the entire magical world fell into a strange calm.
But everyone knows that this calm is only temporary, it is the dormancy before the storm. Once Holy City is ready, or Chen Lang is ready, a new round of storm will surely sweep across the entire magic world again.
However, Chen Lang's return this time is not only filled with undercurrents and anxiety, but also has a solid piece of good news.
During his trip to Africa, Zu Hengyao personally took action and contacted African Magic Association. With a bargaining chip that far exceeded his expectations, he finally secretly exchanged it for an ice-type Earth Core.
This is the key resource that helps Qin Yuer break through the forbidden curse.
Although Asian Magic Association is now regarded as a factor of instability by Holy City, and African Magic Association is also afraid of it, the chips given by Zu Hengyao are too rich, and they are Asia's unique top magic resources, which is enough for the African Magic Association to take risks and complete this transaction secretly.
Earth Core is a priceless treasure, but in the African Magic Association, it does not belong to any high-level person.
The competition between them is equally fierce.
At this time, the appearance of Zu Hengyao allowed them to fight for their own interests a lot, thus allowing Zu Hengyao to successfully obtain the ice attribute of the Earth.
With this ice attribute Earth Core, Qin Yuer, the road to the forbidden curse is no longer the most critical obstacle.
Next, just let Qin Yuer retreat with peace of mind, use the power of Earth Core to temper the magic power of Ice Element, break through the shackles, and then you can add another powerful forbidden curse.
"Well done." Chen Lang heard this with a hint of approval in his tone.
Although he knew that the old man Zu Hengyao was also doing it for his own family, but then again, he was tied to the same boat as him after all.
If he is good, Zu Family can be good!
Zu Hengyao bowed and saluted, his face full of joy. "It is the duty of subordinates to share the chief's worries. If Miss Qin can successfully break through, our overall strength will be even higher."
"Let her go into seclusion as soon as possible..."
"Already arranged."
There will be another chapter later.
Due to a period of delay and the accelerated progress, not many people are actually reading it right now, but if I say I will write an ending, I will definitely finish it. Readers who are reading can rest assured.
