As Though They Were Waiting for You

Ling Xi's face was full of regret. The ancient predecessors who had forged the Stone Stele had left no inscription explaining its precise purpose, so only now had she learned that it was actually a weapon.

A weapon left behind by their predecessors to combat the Heavenly Tribulation. At the very least, it had shown a clear ability to suppress the Sea Demons.

Had it only been the Sea Demons, things would have been fine. Unfortunately, there was Su Ming.

The Stone Stele's effectiveness had been greatly diminished, but even so, it had nearly wiped out the Sea Demons.

"The predecessors?"

Lin Jun looked thoughtful.

"Perhaps we could ask them."

"Ask?"

Ling Xi was dumbfounded. Those ancient predecessors had been dead for who knew how many billions of years. How could they ask them?

Lin Jun did not explain to Ling Xi. Instead, he summoned the Demon Kingdom City directly.

At the sight of that familiar city, Ling Xi fell into a daze.

Back then, she and Ling Zhi had built this city together. Sadly, Dragonrider Island had later destroyed it.

Thinking it through carefully, Dragonrider Island's destruction of the Demon Kingdom had probably been orchestrated by Su Ming as well, all to obtain the secrets she and Ling Zhi held.

Dragonrider Island had truly been manipulated by Su Ming from beginning to end. Even outsiders had been fooled. Everyone knew she was in Dragonrider Island's hands, but who could have known that, at the time, Dragonrider Island was practically Su Ming's own backyard?

"Come."

Seeing Ling Xi's dazed expression, Lin Jun said nothing more and simply brought her up onto the city walls.

"Wait!"

Just as they arrived atop the Demon Kingdom's walls, everyone suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Lin Jun looked back. It was Ling Zhi.
