An Unpleasant Refusal

Eastern Dragon Island is thousands of miles away.

A rift suddenly appeared in the Void Space, and the disheveled figures of the North Dragon King and others emerged from it, followed by the remnants of the Three Great Dragon Islands.

"Damn it, why is the Ice Saint helping Eastern Dragon Island!" The South Dragon King and West Dragon King cursed as soon as he appeared. Xiao Han's blow to them was too great. The sense of powerlessness made them feel fearful at the same time, and full of resentment.

Glancing at the silent North Dragon King beside him, he asked, "Brother King, do you know why the Ice Saint helped those remnants of Eastern Dragon Island?"

The North Dragon King, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted. Slightly annoyed, he said irritably:

"How could I possibly know!"

The two, the South Dragon King and his companion, exclaimed in surprise, "But Brother, you seem to have met that Ice Saint before, haven't you?"

Recalling the North Dragon King's first reaction, the two were filled with doubt.

"You're both aware of this matter," the North Dragon King said helplessly, glancing at his two Royal Younger Brothers, whose intelligence was questionable.

"I did see the Ice Saint on Eastern Dragon Island a few years ago. Xia Ao and Man Yan from South Dragon Island and West Dragon Island both know about that."

"I don't believe they wouldn't have reported this news to the two of you."

The two dragon kings laughed heartily, showing no embarrassment at being exposed.

"It seems that Eastern Dragon Island has been in cahoots with the Ice Saint for a long time."

The Ice Saint appeared to save the day on two separate occasions when they encountered danger on Eastern Dragon Island. No one would believe that the two sides are not related!

"I just don't understand why the Ice Saint let us go and only dealt with those dangerous guys," the North Dragon King pondered.

From the moment he saw the Ice Saint, the North Dragon King understood that in the eyes of a powerhouse of this level, the so-called Three Islands Allied Forces was utterly vulnerable and could be wiped out with a flick of the wrist.

Even if one hopes to solve the problem once and for all, there's no reason for such a small group of people like myself to have come back alive.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Eastern Dragon Island has clearly latched onto the powerful figure of the Ice Saint, and their strength alone is completely insufficient to pose any threat to him.

However, they could not allow Eastern Dragon Island to continue to exist. Given its momentum of development, it would inevitably have the power to crush other islands in the near future. Waiting idly would be tantamount to slow suicide.

The North Dragon King understood the concerns of the other two Dragon Kings, but he didn't have a good solution in the short term.

Frustrated, he said, "I will think this through. Let's go back for now."

The other two could only nod helplessly. Under such absolute power, their schemes and plots were utterly insignificant; they could only hope that the ruthless and cunning North Dragon King would come up with a solution.

From the moment the Ancient Void Dragon Clan split apart, they were destined to follow only this one path: success or death!

North Dragon Island, Dragon King Palace.

The arrogant North Dragon King, who appeared invincible to outsiders, was now pacing back and forth in his palace with a furrowed brow.

Dealing with Eastern Dragon Island is a complex issue, but it can also be quite simple. The only challenge lies with Eastern Dragon Island's backer Ice Saint.

The problem can be easily solved by either getting the other party to abandon their protection of Eastern Dragon Island or finding a powerful figure who can rival them.

But for some reason, the North Dragon King subconsciously recalled Xiao Han's disdainful attitude towards him back then. The other party's determination to protect Eastern Dragon Island was very firm, so the previous idea could be ruled out.

The latter...

The North Dragon King shook his head, his expression bitter. If he could find such a powerful expert, would he have needed to fight to the death with others for so long?

Not to mention that there are only a handful of powerful individuals in the world who have reached this level, it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. The North Dragon King doesn't believe he has much ability to control such a powerful individual.

Just as the North Dragon King was caught in a dilemma, a chilling sound suddenly rang in his ears.

"Does Your Excellency the North Dragon King seem to be facing some difficulties?"

The North Dragon King was initially startled, but after realizing what was happening, his face lit up with delight. "It's you!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Han was making arrangements on Eastern Dragon Island before his departure.

"What is this, Your Excellency...?" Candle Flame glanced at the two figures, a man and a woman, beside Xiao Han and asked curiously.

He vaguely sensed that these two handsome men and beautiful women with aloof appearances were not people to be trifled with, but Xiao Han must have had a deeper meaning in bringing them to him.

As Zhu Candle Flame, Xiao Han quickly explained, "These two are guest elders of my Langya Pavilion, Lei Ling and Lin Jing."

"I am Candle Flame, the Grand Elder of Ancient Dragon Island. I greet you both," Candle Flame said.

"Greetings, Grand Elder." The two were not ignorant of worldly affairs, and they responded in a friendly manner.

Xiao Han then said, "These two are the powerful figures I invited to help the Grand Elder intimidate the Three Great Dragon Kings after I leave."

Candle Flame was somewhat troubled. If he didn't know the Ice Saint's character and that the Ice Saint looked down on the meager earnings of the Void Ancient Dragon, he would have suspected that the Ice Saint was planning to plant a spy on the Void Ancient Dragon.

Which fool would actually allow powerful figures from other factions to be stationed in the core territory of their own territory?

But since Xiao Han had introduced him, Candle Flame couldn't refuse, so he could only say tactfully, "I am grateful for the kindness of Ice Saint and the two of you."

However, now that the Three Great Dragon Kings have returned defeated, they will remain peaceful for a long time. Does this pose a problem for you all?

The three sensed the implicit rejection in Candle Flame's words. Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice Ling frowned, displeased, and was about to speak when Xiao Han subtly stopped her.

"In that case, we'll take our leave," Xiao Han said with a smile.

In a moment of panic, Candle Flame urged them to stay, saying, "The Ice Saint has done a great favor for our clan, Ancient Dragon Island has no way to repay him. Why don't you stay for a few more days so that Ancient Dragon Island can do its best to be our host?"

"No, thank you," Xiao Han shook his head and refused.

"To be honest, Grand Elder, my disciple has caused another major disaster these past few days, and as his teacher, I still have to clean up his mess."

"In that case, I will not keep you any longer." Candle Flame expressed his understanding, then took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Han, firmly stating:

"The Ice Saint did not receive much hospitality in my clan. These specialties from Ancient Dragon Island are just a token of our appreciation. We hope you will not refuse them."

"Farewell!" said the Candle Flame, bowing slightly.

"Let's go," he called out to the two behind him. Then he transformed into three streaks of Flowing Light and disappeared into the horizon.

After getting away from Eastern Dragon Island, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Wasn't that old man being too disrespectful to you? He didn't even believe what you said."

"Do I care about those things from the Void Ancient Dragon?"

Xiao Han said nonchalantly, "Don't be so short-tempered, it's only human nature. Look at the person next to you, how calm they are!"

As he spoke, he gestured to Nether Sky Glacial Crystal, who was quietly following along.

The latter slowly raised his head and said expressionlessly, "What do their lives have to do with me? Since you don't want to believe it, let's leave. When the calamity of extermination befalls us, it's not me who will regret it."

Xiao Han's eyelids twitched; this person was not someone to be trifled with!

"However, we can't just let those guys cause trouble all over the continent," Xiao Han said seriously.

"I'll be relying on you to keep an eye on the situation on Eastern Dragon Island during this time."

"Yes." The two nodded in agreement. In their eyes, personal grudges always had to give way to the greater good.

"Sigh!" After arranging things on Eastern Dragon Island, Xiao Han sighed again. "Now I have to go and deal with that kid's troubles."
