"I can sense it even from the other end of the world! Follow me!" Blood Dragon Emperor let out as he started flying.
"No kiddo. I'm not following you. You fly at such a slow speed. I can circle this world at least ten times in the time you'll take to get to your body, I'm sure! So get back! Just tell me the directions, and I'll take you there!" Zhu Chang let out.
"Fine! I'll do as you say. Whatever gets me to my body faster!" Blood Dragon Emperor let out, flying back.
....
Just as Zhu Chang had described, he flew so fast that within half an hour, he was inside the Royal City of the Northern Empire.
"We're not far now. It is in the city! I can sense it!" Blood Dragon Emperor replied, telling Long Chen to slow down.
Zhu Chang slowed down and started flying at an average cultivator's speed. Soon, he reached the Palace of the Dark Tribe, which was completely empty.
Since the massacre happened in the Dark Tribe, no one lived here. Moreover, all the precious things were shifted to the Royal Palace, where they could be protected well.
At the moment, the Dark Tribe Palace was no more than a shell of its previous glory. Since it was so empty, not even a single guard was kept here to keep an eye on the Clan.
Zhu Chang and the Blood Dragon Emperor landed inside the clan territory.
Since Zhu Chang had flown to there, he was seen by a lot of people, but he didn't care.
However, some of the people who saw him also happened to be the Royal Guards. Seeing a stranger land inside the Dark Tribe Palace was certainly suspicious. They went to inform the Northern Emperor directly.
....
"So you want my help in getting your body, or you can do it yourself?" Zhu Chang asked the Blood Dragon Emperor, but he kept looking at the floating palace in the sky.
"Huh, I can get it out on my own, but it would be faster if you do it instead," Blood Dragon Emperor replied. "Anyway, you seem curious about that Palace?"
"It's a beautiful Palace indeed. It reminds us of its own Palace. Whose palace is it?" Zhu Chang asked.
"That Palace? If I'm not wrong, that Palace belongs to the strongest human cultivator of the Immoral world. She used to live here when I had my real body," the Blood Dragon Emperor replied.
"Strongest human cultivator? Well, that's not saying much. All humans are weak. And she should be too. Anyway, was she the one who trapped you? That seems likely."
"Nonsense. She didn't trap me," The Blood Dragon Emperor responded. " She didn't dare to offend me. In fact, I don't think we ever met face to face, but I assume she wasn't strong since humans went to her to ask for help in defeating me. Apparently she refused."
"And after that, she disappeared along with her palace. I thought she ran away in fear, thinking that I'd come to her to kill her, hehehe. What can you say? My reputation was just so harsh," he continued as he laughed.
"Instead, it was another weak human who tricked me. He brought me a statue, calling it a gift. And as soon as I touched it, my soul was sucked inside the statue because of a strange formation that a human bastard had hidden inside," he added.
The Blood Dragon Emperor remembered his past; he started getting irritated. "That's why I say humans might be weak and easily defeatable, but when it comes to shameless cunningness, no one can defeat them."
"I guess that's true. But then again, that can be true for any species. We all have a brain, after all. And I refuse to believe that humans are smarter than us," Zhu Chang replied. "It's just that their mindset is slightly corrupted. They can do anything to get to their goals, even if it's unjust."
"Most humans, at least. I suppose there are some nice ones too," he muttered, taking his eyes off the Palace. "Tell me the location of the body. I'll bring it out."
...
"What is this feeling? It's as if someone was looking at us?"
Inside the floating palace, a woman was sitting on her throne with her eyes closed. She couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
She sat up, revealing her beautiful yellow gown that wrapped around her body, highlighting all the curves. She walked toward the windows on the other end of the palace and looked out.
...
"It's here! If you dig here, you'll find my body!" Blood Dragon Emperor told Zhu Chang, excited. He was just seconds away from getting his body back.
"Digging? That's for kids. We don't have that much time," Zhu Chang replied as he raised both his hands and clapped once.
Boom~
With his clap, a powerful energy wave was created inside the Palace, which spread outwards.
The energy wave kept destroying everything in its path. It destroyed the walls of the Palace and everything inside it. It also destroyed all the furniture inside the Palace.
...
The Northern Emperor landed outside the Dark Tribe Palace
"Are they still inside?" he asked the person nearest to him who had started keeping an eye on the Palace as soon as he saw Zhu Chang enter.
"No, your Majesty. They're still inside," the man replied.
"Good! If I'm not wrong, that person must be the one who caused the massacre. He came to check the crime site again. Now I'll show him what it means to mess with the Northern Empire!"
The Northern Emperor took his first step inside the gates of the Clan and walked to the gates of the Palace. He reached out his hand to open the door.
As his hand reached closer to the gates, he felt something odd. It was as if something inside him was telling him to not go inside. It was a strange feeling that wasn't leaving him alone, but he ignored the feeling and touched the gate.
Boom!
The Northern Emperor had just touched the gates when the gates flew outside, taking the Northern Emperor with them. The doors weren't the only things that were destroyed, as the walls also suffered the same fate.
The powerful wave that destroyed everything continued outwards. It only stopped when it reached the border of the clan as if that's what it was intended for.
Nothing inside the clan land was left standing, including the towers. Their rubble couldn't be seen either as it all landed outside the clan premise.
As for the Northern Emperor, he fortunately landed outside the Clan's boundary with the gates, mostly uninjured.
