Chapter 250 - Conflict
"Sorry, our Divine Maiden is currently not in the White Dragon World." The leading White Dragon Race expert explained.
The leading White Dragon Race expert smiled bitterly.
"???"
Long Kun was dumbfounded.
He had clearly used his spirit sense to search for Long Xiaoyu before, but there was no sign of her along the way. Shouldn"t she have already returned?
Did she encounter another accident midway?
If the Martial Sacred Hall discovered her whereabouts, it was indeed possible.
After all, Long Xiaoyu was the divine maiden of the White Dragon Race, a super genius who could change the situation in this void in the future. The Martial Sacred Hall would be willing to sacrifice any number of Great Void Stage experts just to kill her.
Most importantly, other than Long Xiaoyu, there were practically no other outstanding individuals among the younger generation of the White Dragon Race.
Killing Long Xiaoyu was equivalent to indirectly injuring the White Dragon Race.
The White Dragon Race might not decline because of this, but they would definitely experience a long period of vacuum.
This was also the reason why the White Dragon Race elders were extremely nervous after hearing that Long Xiaoyu had been ambushed.
Without waiting for Qin Jue to figure it out, the White Dragon Race expert continued, "Because we have received news that there is a traitor among us, the patriarch temporarily took Her Highness the Divine Maiden to another place to cultivate. If you want to see her, you might have to wait for a while."
At this point, the White Dragon Race expert couldn"t help but reveal an indignant expression. Of course, he wasn"t angry at Qin Jue, but at those traitors.
News of Long Xiaoyu being ambushed by the Martial Sacred Hall and the divine maiden almost losing her life had long since spread throughout the White Dragon World, causing a huge uproar.
Who would have thought that a traitor would appear in the White Dragon Race, a race that was full of pride and arrogance. Moreover, the traitor was an elder!
Under Long Xiaoyu"s plan, the traitor elder had indeed contacted the Martial Sacred Hall again and exposed himself. He was captured on the spot by the White Dragon Race Patriarch, who had already made preparations. The traitor was directly restrained by the patriarch"s spirit energy and had been kept in a prison ever since.
After that, the patriarch used all sorts of torture and even soul searching techniques to finally find all the other traitors hidden in the White Dragon Race and uproot them. Only then did this matter die down.
Even so, for the sake of Long Xiaoyu"s safety, the White Dragon Race Patriarch still chose to temporarily bring Long Xiaoyu to another place to cultivate.
As for the exact location, given this White Dragon Race expert"s status, it was naturally impossible for him to know.
Putting aside the fact that this expert was only a guard, even the White Dragon Race elders were currently unaware of Long Xiaoyu"s whereabouts.
"I see."
Qin Jue nodded and said, "In that case, I"ll wait a few days."
In any case, he was only here to find a mount. It didn"t matter if Long Xiaoyu was here or not.
Perhaps when Long Xiaoyu returned, he would have already left.
Hearing this, the White Dragon Race expert hurriedly said, "Alright, Senior."
Long Ao didn"t know how to address Qin Jue, but he was worried that he would accidentally offend him, so he decided to call him "Senior".
Then, he said to the other White Dragon Race experts, "Continue patrolling."
"Yes!"
The other White Dragon Race experts looked at each other before boarding the air-transportation spirit artifact again and disappearing into the horizon.
"Senior, please follow me."
As he spoke, Long Ao led the way down the mountain.
Qin Jue looked around thoughtfully before his figure floated up and lightly followed behind Long Ao.
What puzzled Qin Jue was that although this mountain peak was clearly more than 10,000 meters high, Long Ao still walked on foot. Although Long Ao was very fast, wouldn"t he find it troublesome?
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. Long Ao turned around and said, "Senior…"
At this moment, he suddenly saw Qin Jue"s feet leave the ground and float in midair!
"How is this possible?"
Long Ao subconsciously rubbed his eyes, his mouth agape.
"Senior, did you fly down just now?"
Long Ao heavily emphasized the word "fly" and looked like he was in disbelief.
"What"s wrong?"
Qin Jue was stunned.
No matter what, Long Ao was a Saint Stage expert. It was impossible for him to not know how to fly, right?
"Coo."
Long Ao gulped and said bitterly, "How did you do it? There"s a flight forbidding array formation on this mountain. Apart from those air-transportation spirit artifacts with special runes carved on them, even ordinary Great Void Stage experts are unable to fly on it."
"Uh… Well, it"s very simple."
Qin Jue didn"t expect there to be a flight forbidding array formation on the mountain, so he could only answer casually.
After all, he couldn"t exactly say that he was too strong and could not feel the effect of the flight forbidding array formation.
That would be too arrogant.
Long Ao :"…"
Long Ao was in disbelief.
According to Long Ao"s knowledge, even an expert at the third realm of the Great Void Stage would have to consume a large amount of spirit energy to fly on this mountain. Only then would they be able to barely resist the flight forbidding array formation. It was absolutely not as simple as Qin Jue said it was.
Unless… Qin Jue had surpa.s.sed the fifth realm of the Great Void Stage.
Thinking of this, Long Ao was aghast. He finally no longer had any doubts that Qin Jue was indeed qualified to be friends with their divine maiden.
"Eh, where did this human come from?"
Just as Long Ao was in shock, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
In the next second, three figures appeared on the side and stared at Qin Jue.
Because of the Martial Divine Hall, the White Dragon Race experts hated humans greatly. It wasn"t an exaggeration to say that Qin Jue was the first human to enter the White Dragon World in nearly a thousand years, so he immediately attracted the attention of the nearby White Dragon Race experts.
"Long Ao, what are you doing? How dare you bring a human in?" One of them said solemnly. His entire body emitted a blazing aura and killing intent.
"Long Qingl, don"t be rude. This is Her Highness the Divine Maiden"s friend."
Long Ao frowned slightly.
"What? Your Highness the Divine Maiden"s friend?"
The man named Long Qing was stunned for a moment before he sneered. "How could Her Highness the Divine Maiden have a human friend?"
After a pause, he added, "Could it be that you"re also one of those traitors?"
"How dare you!"
Long Ao was furious. "Long Qing, don"t push your luck!"
"Hehe, the truth is right in front of you. You still want to deny it?"
"You!"
Long Ao took a deep breath and turned to Qin Jue. "Sorry, Senior. This guy has always been at odds with me…"
"It"s okay." Qin Jue waved his hand and said indifferently.
He could almost imagine what was going to happen next. If there were no accidents, this Long Qing would definitely attack him for no reason.
As expected, Long Qing waved his hand and ordered, "Leave Long Ao to me. The two of you take down that human!"
"Remember, leave them alive. We will have accomplished a great deed by capturing them alive."
"Yes!"
The two White Dragon Race experts looked at each other and their figures flashed. They immediately surrounded Qin Jue from the front and back, cutting off all the routes he could take to retreat.
These two White Dragon Race experts were also at the Saint Stage and were skilled in joint attack techniques. When they joined forces, they could even contend against a Grand Saint Stage expert.
"Stop! What are you doing?!"
Long Ao did not expect Long Qing to be so fearless. "Long Qing, do you know the consequences of offending Her Highness the Divine Maiden"s friend?"
"Hmph, don"t use Her Highness to pressure me. If he was really Her Highness"s friend, why would he be with you?"
Long Ao :"…"
What kind of crazy logic was that?
At the same time, Qin Jue was also somewhat speechless. If you want to condemn someone, you can always find excuses. This fellow seemed to not care about hiding his true intentions.
"Cut the c.r.a.p. I"ll capture you first!"
Long Qing shouted coldly.
