Chapter 428: Waiting for You for a Long Time

Lin Nuo tossed down the paper figure and effortlessly switched its position with Yu Long, achieving results that were no less impressive than before.

After all, the treasures accumulated over hundreds of years—these two Water Spirit Hearts held immense energy.

Of course, with energy comes the need for exceptional technique; the arrays of the world follow certain principles, and the great arrays of the Dragon Clan are no different.

“Can he leave?”

Lin Nuo asked Fu again.

Fu smiled and nodded, “Yes.”

Fu then turned and walked in front of Yu Long, extending his right hand.

“Congratulations, you can go home now. Thank you for all your contributions; it was all worth it. I wish you a happy and fulfilling life with your family.”

“Mm-mm, thank you, Master.”

Yu Long’s eyes brimmed with tears as he embraced his Dragon Clan friend, Fu. After experiencing life and death as comrades, with the world now at peace, they were to part ways, an endless sadness weighing on his heart.

Lin Nuo didn’t urge them to leave but quietly stood to the side, watching them.

Having maintained this for many years, suddenly parting ways was a bit hard to bear.

After a long while, Yu Long followed Lin Nuo and Su Kexin onto the small circle conjured by Fu.

They left.

Suddenly, a vast expanse of white appeared before them, and Lin Nuo and the others returned to the seaport.

The fresh sea breeze whisked over, and the sky returned to its azure hue.

The moment Yu Long stepped back onto the shore, he saw the familiar seaside, the groves of trees, and the Watchtower not far off. Memories of fishing with comrades by the sea flooded back.

On the nearby beach were the footprints he once shared with his little sister as they ran.

“It’s really been a long time since I came back.”

Yu Long couldn’t help but sigh, savoring the beauty of nature.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Nuo said淡淡, not looking back at Yu Long, and walked towards the village.

This situation was not what Su Kexin had anticipated.

Yu Long was on land, and his senior brother should have taken him back. After all, that’s the way of a Knight—returning with Yu Long, greeted by the villagers, everyone praising his senior brother’s virtues.

Plus, his senior brother would share tales of the world’s events over the years, or amusing stories from Ru Yu Village—everything seemed so harmonious.

But now, it was different. The senior brother had dropped a line and walked off, not caring whether Yu Long followed.

“Hey, Yu Dage, hurry up and catch up with your senior brother! Otherwise, he’ll go far ahead!”

“Alright, Lin brother, just wait a moment!”

Even though Yu Long shouted, Lin Nuo continued walking, showing no sign of waiting for them.

Wait for what? Are you an old man who needs waiting on?

They hurriedly tried to keep up with Lin Nuo, but he moved too quickly. Su Kexin had already returned ahead—she could only take Yu Long back to where everyone had gathered.

…

The radical leader of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan, Wu Qiong, had already discovered that the great array at sea had been reestablished.

Rather than just rebuilt, it had been strengthened.

Previously, the tide had only receded a bit, but now it had completely withdrawn, even the thick clouds had dissipated; the disaster was far away from this sea domain.

He himself had gone north, only to find that there were no other humans, and the array points had been reinforced by another type of energy, making them impossible to break.

What had transpired?

He didn’t know, but he speculated it might have been that kid’s doing. That kid wasn’t an ordinary person; perhaps he had pulled off some trick.

But now, what to do? The great array at sea was newly solidified, preventing tsunamis from inflating onto land. Wasn’t everything they had done in vain?

Unwilling, absolutely unwilling!

Wu Qiong was incredibly furious, recalling how he had led his troops, a part entering the land with no further communication, and another part entering a different space, successfully disturbing that alternate environment, which was now on the verge of collapse.

Thinking that if that alternate space collapsed, the sea array would lose its efficacy, enabling the tsunami to charge onto land and devour living beings.

Yet, all of this was just in his fantasies—not realized.

Damned humans!

Now, Wu Qiong had no choice; the sea array had been rebuilt and strengthened, and most of his subordinates had gone missing. How could he destroy the land? How could he boost the morale of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan?

This was only the first step! Returning like this was far too humiliating!

The radicals wouldn’t back down easily; even if they hadn’t demolished the sea’s great array and prevented the outer tsunami from flooding in, he still had to do something else.

For example, unleashing Spirit Techniques on the coast, leveling it to the ground, and then leaving—at least he’d score some accomplishments to report back, or else where would their radical faction save face?

Wu Qiong dove into the ocean and swiftly headed to the coast.

He found a spot and surfaced.

Now facing the land, he began to summon his spiritual energy.

He planned to unleash a devastating wave of spiritual force to obliterate everything on the land.

He noticed a Watchtower; due to the earlier tsunami warning, the young man who had been there had vanished.

At this moment, Wu Qiong charged up to it. This Watchtower was the highest around, and he could use its height to observe the situation inland.

He saw a group of humans returning to the village, living harmoniously together. After all, the disaster was over, and everything had returned to normal. They no longer had to live a life of fleeing but could enjoy a peaceful life in the village.

Wu Qiong estimated how fierce the destruction would be if he transformed into his dragon form and drew forth all his internal power?

Destroying this village was certain, and the cities behind it could also be obliterated—in a straight line, a formidable wave of spiritual force could annihilate everything, leaving no survivors along the way.

Though still inferior to a tsunami’s impact, it could still serve as a warning to these land creatures.

“Humans must die.”

A smirk crept across Wu Qiong’s face as he summoned his energy, ready to unleash a direct strike that would lead to annihilation below.

“Is the farce over yet?”

In an instant, a youthful voice echoed—a boy who flew in using Wind Techniques, hovering near Wu Qiong.

Wu Qiong noticed him but did not continue to channel his power. Once that wave was unleashed, he would have no energy left to deal with the boy, so he held back.

“It’s you?”

“Indeed, it’s me. I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”

“Did you restore the array at sea?”

“You don’t need to know.”

The boy, Lin Nuo, produced the Water Spirit Heart, which still held ample energy, more than enough to deal with Wu Qiong’s actions.

“Regardless of whether it’s you or not, human, I need to settle the score with you for hurting my subordinates in the alternate space.”

“Ha.”

In an instant, a whirlwind surrounded Lin Nuo’s legs, and like lightning, he shot toward Wu Qiong.

“Human, take a look at my Dragon Shell body.”

The Dragon Shell body—the advanced protective technique of the Dragon Clan, incredibly tough and greatly enhancing defense.

Bang!

Accompanied by a thunderous crash, the so-called Dragon Shell body turned out to be just a fragile shell.
