The Oriole Behind

Although that was true, everyone still found it vaguely strange. Such a dangerous dragon-slaying operation had ended far too smoothly.

Then Ling Yunxiao landed before the Star Demon Dragon's massive body, Emperor Sword in hand, preparing to dismantle the corpse.

"I'll take care of this dragon corpse. However, there is also a hidden Star Dragon Fruit Tree within this Dragon Domain. I'll have to ask you all to find it."

"Alright."

Lin Yi and the others answered, then scattered into the Star Dragon Domain.

At that moment, a faint starlight slipped from the Star Demon Dragon's corpse into Ling Yunxiao's palm.

That starlight was the Star Demon Dragon itself. Its battle with Ling Yunxiao earlier had merely been an act.

The Star Demon Dragon could not help but worry. "It seems the people you invited have noticed something?"

As Ling Yunxiao cut apart the dragon corpse, he replied calmly, "It doesn't matter. As long as you listen to me, I can take you out of here."

Beneath the Emperor Artifact, the Star Demon Dragon's tough scales were sliced apart, revealing glistening, tender dragon flesh.

The Star Demon Dragon watched in great anguish. "What a pity. This dragon body that I cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years is now being cut apart by you."

"The Demon Dragon Realm is ultimately just a small world. Once you come with me to Starfall Academy, you will learn just how vast this world truly is. When the time comes, I will find a way to help you reconstruct an Emperor Dragon body."

"Fine. I also understand that there must be sacrifices for gains. Young Master Ling, as long as you keep your word, what does it matter if I acknowledge you as my master from now on..."

"That would be for the best."
