"It's alright, I'll just watch the show," Lin Hui replied casually.
The woman, known as Sheye, gave him a deep look before taking flight towards the vortex.
Lin Hui followed closely behind.
The two disappeared into the center in the blink of an eye. The surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
The next second.
A gigantic white dragon's eye, filling their entire field of vision, appeared directly in front of the two.
The dragon eye was so huge that Lin Hui thought he was seeing a massive white wall that stretched from the sky to the ground in front of him.
However, at the center of this wall is a vertical pupil, inlaid with an enormous white eyeball.
Comparing two longans is like comparing the ocean to swimming fish.
Inconspicuous, like a speck of dust, it floats directly in front of the longan, at the position of the pupil.
A terrifying pressure emanated from the other party, transforming into heavy, tangible pressure that slammed down on Lin Hui.
"Long time no see, Sister Sheye." A deep, hoarse voice echoed from ahead.
"It has indeed been a long time. Ever since I was framed by White Owl, we haven't met like this in person..." Sheye said softly.
"You shouldn't have come back... Those old guys, the Dragon King still thinks you slaughtered the Three Greats Illusion Dragon Clans." The owner of the giant dragon eye, Dragon King Shen Yang, spoke again.
"And who is that human behind you?"
"He claimed to be a passerby who was just watching the commotion, and his identity was unknown. Anyway, once you listen to our chatter, it will be extremely difficult to get away, so I followed him inside," Sheye said with a smile.
"Oh?" Dragon King Shen Yang looked at Lin Hui.
"She's right. I'm just a businessman who was casually strolling around. I thought there might be some business to be done here, so I followed along," Lin Hui replied, a thought forming in his mind.
"A merchant? What do you sell? What do you buy?" Dragon King Shen Yang asked in a deep voice.
"If you need temporary mercenaries, I can provide services for a fee. As for the payment, it depends on what you have." Lin Hui's goal was to get in touch with this Dragon King and, relying on his vast power, find what he needed as quickly as possible—namely, the Existence Force.
"Mercenaries?" Dragon King Shen Yang was skeptical. "Do you know the level I'm at, the needs I have, and the level of the opponents I face?"
"I don't know, but I'm quite confident in my abilities," Lin Hui replied.
The identity of a merchant-mercenary was a plan he came up with on a whim, so that he could quickly intervene in the internal affairs of the Dragon Court with a suitable reason and identity.
"Interesting."
Dragon King Shen Yang's voice paused.
"What if I hired you to assassinate another Dragon King? Could you do it?"
"I'm not sure, but if the opportunity arises, it's possible," Lin Hui replied with a smile.
... Now it was the other two dragons' turn to fall silent.
The Dragon Kings represent the Dragon Court's top combat power, second only to the Supreme Ancestral Dragon. Each one is comparable to a military lord of the Endless Divine Realm.
The biggest difference between the Dragon Court and the Endless Divine Clan lies in the fact that the Dragon Court only has one top-tier expert at the seventh ring level, the Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon, while the rest of the Dragon Kings are all top-tier sixth ring experts.
Therefore, Dragon Court had no choice but to join forces with Swallow Fort to resist the Endless Divine Clan.
But the Sixth Ring Road is still the Sixth Ring Road.
As a top-tier sixth-ring warrior, the Dragon King is an ultimate powerhouse far stronger than the likes of the Divine Shen Mu of the God Clan Race.
It can be said that before Zhu Li's breakthrough, among the Endless Divine Clan, only the God King could forcibly advance to the seventh ring by relying on the certificate. Apart from him, no one had ever truly broken through the sixth ring limit on their own.
Even the very few seventh-ring military lords acquired their seventh-ring strength temporarily through external means after learning from the God King, unlike Zhu Li, who forcibly broke through the limits on her own.
And now, this person in front of me is actually saying he can take on the job of assassinating the Dragon King...?
"Who exactly are you??" Sheye realized that the guy following him was definitely a big shot, and his voice changed. He stared intently at Lin Hui with a serious expression.
"You can call me Hui." Lin Hui directly stated his code name, which was the single-character nickname given to him by the God Clan.
"It's you!?" Dragon King Shen Yang and Sheye both froze in surprise.
They were naturally aware of the catastrophic war that had occurred within the Endless Divine Clan a few years prior.
The mysterious figure Hui, who plays the protagonist, has undoubtedly become a universally recognized extremely dangerous individual among the three races.
A terrorist suspected of being able to lead major calamities...
No wonder they were so arrogant.
In an instant, the enormous eyes of the Dragon King Shen Yang rapidly faded and disappeared, and in mid-air, a Black Dragon- horned man wearing an exquisite blue and white robe appeared in his place.
The man was handsome and had a dignified air. He approached and stood side by side with Sheye, looking at Lin Hui.
The two dragons remained silent for a moment, but secretly they were exchanging opinions at lightning speed.
What do we do now? White Owl has already colluded with most of the dragons to prepare for a rebellion. Our strength is too weak. Perhaps we can really rely on the power of Hui in front of us... to supplement..." Shen Yang's attitude was obviously relatively open, adhering to the idea that as long as it is power, we should use it first and then talk about it later.
He had barely opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Sheye.
"No, do you know that when I was falsely accused of slaughtering the Three Greats dragon clans, it only resulted in the deaths of a few thousand dragons? But this Hui, in the Endless Divine Realm, just the War of Calamity he instigated caused the deaths of countless God Clan?"
"... Two hundred and fifty thousand?" Shen Yang paused for a moment, then answered softly.
"No! That's just the number of the God Clan who died directly. The number of deaths caused by the spread of the contamination has already reached millions... This is calamity! This is the greatest danger posed by these Fusion Faction!" Sheye said solemnly. The Calamity Fusion Faction is a group of terrorists enslaved by calamity. What they want is endless knowledge, endless life! This is a group far more dangerous than the rebels! If the rebels win, our Dragon Court will at most change masters, but the dragon race will still exist. But if we introduce them, most of these Fusion Faction are mentally unstable. Who knows what they might do..."
Shen Yang remained silent.
"It seems you need to have a good talk. Perhaps the time isn't right yet..." Lin Hui said with a smile.
This was the first time he had ever so clearly perceived how the Calamity Fusion Faction was perceived by other beings.
Judging from the increasingly wary looks in the eyes of the two dragons opposite him, it was clear that he was not popular.
"Actually, you don't need to worry. I don't lack cognitive crystals, so I won't be polluting or massacring the Dragon Court for the time being," Lin Hui explained. "However, I temporarily need another resource, a relatively rare one... If your treasury has it... we can engage in a fair and equal trade."
"For now, I don't need my friends' help. I'll wait for a better time..." Dragon King Shen Yang replied reluctantly.
Clearly, he was temporarily persuaded by the Sheye.
Seeing this, Lin Hui knew that the reputation of the Fusion Faction was too bad, and no matter what he said, the other party would not believe him.
They were terrified that if they were let in, the massacre and pollution would begin.
Without saying much, he gave a slight bow and waved his hand, leaving behind a God Seal of the Wind Disaster.
This thing is a unique mark that you design yourself, similar to a signature. Because there is a connection between you and it, you can communicate over a long distance.
This is a little trick that Lin Hui deconstructed from the Wind Chime he used to make.
After learning and refining many similar methods, I've now mastered this technique myself.
"This is my personal contact information. You may use it to contact us if needed... In that case... I'll take my leave now..."
He turned around, and in a flash, disappeared from the vortex he had come from.
After leaving the realm of Dragon King Shen Yang, he casually wandered around outside the Nest Gate and randomly chose a hole to fly into.
This is a large realm inhabited by red dragons, and all those coming and going are red dragons of various ages.
The entrance to the cave still contains remnants of sulfur and dried black lava, as well as a large amount of spilled volcanic ash, which has covered the ground at the entrance of the cave with a thick layer.
Lin Hui observed for a while but found nothing resembling the Divine Food Statue.
So he deliberately concealed his presence and flew towards the entrance of the Red Dragon Cave.
But soon, a transparent barrier blocked his progress.
"Please show your Red Dragon permit. Entry is prohibited without a permit." A cold, clear female voice rang directly in his mind.
Lin Hui stopped, not intending to cause any damage for the time being, and turned to leave the cave entrance. He then went to the other dragon cave entrances.
Unfortunately, each Void Hole was blocked by the same transparent barrier.
Moreover, it was always the same cold female voice, clearly indicating that the entire Dragon Court's management system was playing a protective role.
Left with no other choice, Lin Hui could only leave the Void Hole and fly around the entire Nest Gate once.
Soon, he spotted a massive white stone tree in mid-air beside the Nest Gate.
The giant tree was almost the same size as the Nest Gate, with many intersections at its center.
Some smooth, neatly arranged circular platforms are situated on these tree branches.
On the platform, various dragon-like beings set up stalls to trade. There were also some scattered white buildings nestled among them.
What caught Lin Hui's eye was the scattered, shimmering golden light Existence Force from these stalls.
"There really is one!?" He immediately became very interested and flew straight towards one of the platforms.
It quickly and gently landed on a platform.
The dragon people sat cross-legged on the ground like statues, each displaying their wares in front of them.
The price was displayed on a white wooden sign, and then they left it at that, adopting a "whatever happens, happens" attitude towards the transactions.
Lin Hui wasn't in a hurry; he carefully examined what exactly the thing radiating the Existence Force was.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that these objects, radiating golden Existence Force, were actually pieces that resembled dragon horns.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, he discovered that some of the relatively younger dragons selling goods were actually followed closely by thin, inconspicuous red Time String.
Yes, it's not just one dragon with Time String on its back, but at least dozens of dragons at the stalls and passing by with Time String on their backs.
Although these Time String are only the size of a fist, they are far less massive than the Time String that almost cover the entire city above Lin Yuexiu's head.
But the sheer number of them is overwhelming!
