Chapter 1576: Misunderstanding?
"You can cast the Dried Woods Territory, and you're so powerful... You must be Ku Mi!" At this moment, the Five-clawed Green Dragon that had fallen and suffered heavy injuries rose up into the air again. When he looked at that skinny figure who was dressed completely in black, a hint of dread appeared in his eyes.
"Qing Yan, let's join forces! I don't believe we won't be able to defeat just one Ku Mi!" Before Ku Mi could reply Qing Yan the Five-clawed Green Dragon, an ancient voice reverberated in the air.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, a grey-clad woman appeared and stared coldly at Ku Mi.
Before the others had a chance to take a good look at her appearance, her human form had disappeared and was replaced by a writhing Five-clawed Divine Dragon that was also several hundreds of meters long. However, unlike the Five-clawed Green Dragon, she was purple in color. She was a Five-clawed Purple Dragon. Moreover, looking at the length of her body, she was obviously longer than the Five-clawed Green Dragon.
In the dragon clan, the longer their true forms were, the more powerful they were.
"It's Elder Zi Jing!"
"In our dragon clan, Elder Zi Jing's strength is only inferior to Elder Xue who's a Five-clawed Blood Dragon. Now that she and Elder Qing Yan are joining forces, they'll be able to defeat Ku Mi from the Azure Cloud Mansion!"
"The Azure Cloud Mansion's Ku Mi is very powerful and does indeed live up to his fame. However, he won't be able to defeat Elder Zi Jing and Elder Qing Yan if they join forces!"
...
After the Five-clawed Purple Dragon appeared, the group of clansmen from the dragon clan who were watching by the side were hopeful now. They were watching the scene unfolding before them with rapt attention.
Two Five-clawed Divine Dragons fighting Ku Mi from the Azure Cloud Mansion. This was not something they could witness anytime.
Ku Mi's expression had also turned glum after the Five-clawed Purple Dragon made her appearance.
"Hurmph!" At this moment, when the group of clansmen from the dragon clan were anticipating the fight between Ku Mi and the two Five-clawed Divine Dragons, Duan Ru Feng who had been temporarily forgotten snorted coldly.
This cold snort alone seemed to contain a powerful force, sending chills up the spines of all the clansmen present.
In the next instant, they witnessed a scene they would never be able to forget in their entire lives.
As the middle-aged man who came with Ku Mi casually raised his hand, the sky trembled and space seemed like it was about to rip open.
At the same time, along with two loud noises that reverberated in the air, the group of clansmen from the dragon clan were shocked to see the two Five-clawed Divine Dragons who looked majestic initially had been slammed down in just an instant as though they were crushed by a mountain.
When the two Five-clawed Divine Dragons were slammed down into the mountain range, it, naturally, caused a huge commotion as though an earthquake had taken place.
The Five-clawed Green Dragon, in particular, who had been injured twice in such a short time, suffered even greater injuries. He could not help but throw up blood over and over again.
The Five-clawed Purple Dragon's condition was not any better as well.
Seeing how Ku Mi respectfully followed behind the middle-aged man who had just attacked them, a hint of panic flashed in the Five-clawed Purple Dragon's eyes as she asked in a trembling voice, "Y-You're the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?"
In her opinion, Ku Mi would only respectfully follow the current Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion even though she had no idea why the Azure Cloud Mansion's Mansion Master would appear in their dragon clan bearing ill intention.
"If you dare to move about again in front of me, you'll die!" Duan Ru Feng's expression remained calm. However, when he looked at the Five-clawed Purple Dragon, a sharp and cold look in his eyes appeared, causing the Five-clawed Purple Dragon's heart to tremble. She did not doubt his words at all. Thus, she remained there obediently without moving.
"The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?" When the Five-clawed Green Dragon who was already severely injured heard the Five-clawed Purple Dragon's words, he was so afraid that his sight went dark for a moment. He had almost fainted.
The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was as powerful as the Clan Leader of the dragon clan. However, he had the audacity to display his incompetence before this master? He felt so remorseful that he wanted to dig a hole to bury himself in it.
"The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!" At the same time, horror also dawned on the group of clansmen from the dragon clan.
Even the group of young dragons who rarely went out and did not know who Ku Mi or the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion had heard of the Azure Cloud Mansion. It was an extremely powerful force that was on par with their dragon clan.
The Azure Cloud Mansion was a colossal force, naturally, the Mansion Master was not inferior to the Clan Leader of the dragon clan.
The moment they thought of the person they encountered whose strength was not inferior to their Clan Leader, the knees of the group of clansmen from the dragon clan instantly went weak. Some of the Four-clawed Divine Dragons who were crying out had also obediently kept quiet.
What a joke!
The person before them was the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion after all!
Even if they were killed, their dragon clan might not have the power to avenge them at all.
With just one move from Duan Ru Feng, the two Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders of the dragon clan immediately turned obedient, let alone the other clansmen.
Just like this, Duan Ru Feng and Ku Mi continued to charge forward into dragon clan's hideaway.
"We made such a huge commotion, why did Clan Leader not show up?"
"Not only the Clan Leader... Even Elder Xue and the few other Five-clawed Divine Dragons are also not here as well."
The group of clansmen from the dragon clan began to feel restless and uneasy.
The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion had come with ill intention. However, the Clan Leader of the dragon clan and the few other Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders still did not make an appearance after so long.
The Five-clawed Green Dragon, Qing Yan, who had changed into his human form watched Duan Ru Feng and Ku Mi's disappearing silhouette. He reassured the others as well. "There's no need to panic, I'm sure the Clan Leader and the few elders are not here yet is because they're busy with something... They'll definitely come."
Zi Jing the Five-clawed Purple Dragon had also changed into her human form — an old woman — and said in her hoarse voice, "Although the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is powerful, with Clan Leader's strength, I'm sure he doesn't fear him as well!"
After the two of the Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders reassured the group of clansmen from the dragon clan, they began to calm down.
...
"I found him!"
Meanwhile, Ku Mi who was heading deeper into the hideaway and probing for Di Jue's whereabouts with his Divine Consciousness finally found him.
When he found him, Di Jue was in the midst of closed-door cultivation.
It was because he was in closed-door cultivation that he did not make an appearance even though there was such a huge commotion outside.
The poor Di Jue was at a critical juncture while he was in closed-door cultivation was suddenly interrupted by Ku Mi who barged in without warning and brought him out immediately.
Although he was a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, a prominent figure among the Five-clawed Divine Dragons and part of the dragon clan's Imperial Family, he was not fully grown yet. His strength was only on par with Qing Yan, the Five-clawed Green Dragon, who was ranked at the bottom of the group of the Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders in the dragon clan. Naturally, he was no match for Ku Mi at all. He did not even possess much strength to resist Ku Mi.
Di Jue who was abruptly woken up and whose cultivation was interrupted was, naturally, furious. However, when he saw the culprit was Ku Mi, he tried his best to suppress his rage. He asked in his deep voice, "Senior Ku Mi, what are you doing?"
"Shouldn't you know about the good deeds you've done?" Ku Mi snorted and raised his hand to slap Di Jue repeatedly until his mind turned blank.
"Ku Mi!" As a member of the dragon clan's Imperial Family, Di Jue, naturally, was more prideful compared to the other Five-clawed Divine Dragons. It seemed as though he had completely forgotten Ku Mi was stronger than him as he became furious to the extent that he reverted into his true form, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. However, how could he possibly be a match for Ku Mi with his current strength?
With a turn of his palm, Ku Mi defeated him immediately. After forcing him to transform back into his human form, Ku Mi carried him like a dead dog to Duan Ru Feng.
During the entire time, Di Jue was powerless to fight back. His eyes were round as he glared angrily at him. This was the first time in his life that he had been so greatly humiliated. He inwardly swore if he did not kill Ku Mi, he would not be a dragon anymore.
"You're Di Jue?" Duan Ru Feng asked nonchalantly as he watched Ku Mi carried Di Jue like a dead dog.
Di Jue decided to endure it after he had been defeated by Ku Mi. However, when someone else questioned him, he asked coldly, "Who are you?" It was as though he wanted to vent the anger he had suppressed on Duan Ru Feng.
Slap!
When Di Jue's words left his mouth, it was as though a fuse had been lit. Ku Mi who respected Duan Ru Feng like he respected God raised his hand to slap Di Jue again. "Di Jue, how brave of you! How dare you act so rudely in front of the Lord Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! You really don't want to live anymore, huh?!"
"The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?" Di Jue who was once again humiliated by Ku Mi was about to retaliate when Ku Mi's words finally dawned on him. He was extremely shocked.
The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was as powerful as the Clan Leader of the dragon clan.
Even if Di Jue had grown into his power in the future, he might not even be a match for the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, let alone the current him.
What was most important was he had also heard of the Azure Cloud Mansion Master's deeds. He knew the current Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was truly powerful. He was much more powerful than the previous Mansion Masters of Azure Cloud Mansion.
Rumor had it that the current Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion had not even reached the age of 100 years old yet! He was not even 100 years old, but he possessed strength on par with the Clan Leader of the dragon clan! Di Jue knew very well what this meant.
"L-Lord Mansion Master, y-you're looking for me?" Di Jue had also temporarily calmed down after he took a deep breath and cleared his mind.
When Di Jue noticed the coldness in the eyes of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, his heart turned cold. He could also faintly guess the reason for Ku Mi's rough treatment was due to the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.
However, Di Jue found it strange since he had never offended the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. Why was the Mansion Master looking at him as though he was an enemy of his?
"Lord Mansion Master, is there any misunderstanding between us?" Di Jue began to panic even more when he saw Duan Ru Feng keeping quiet.
He was not afraid of Ku Mi. At that time when he had grown strong, he believed he could defeat and kill Ku Mi. As the saying went, 'One should bide one's time and wait for the right opportunity to seek revenge.' However, he had no confidence when faced with the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.
"Misunderstanding?" Duan Ru Feng chuckled coldly. "You almost killed my son... Do you think it's still a misunderstanding?"
Boom!
When Duan Ru Feng's words entered Di Jue's ears, he was so stunned as though lightning had struck him.
