  However, the thick black essence instantly gathered and re-formed the black figure.

  Hua… Premier Xia unleashed the full strength of the Heavenly Dragon Realm and froze everyone, including Zhao Guang.

  “How can it be…” Taiyi Cave Master’s shadowy devil body couldn’t move as well.

  Turning his wrist, Premier Xia moved quickly and formed 18 phantoms. With speed too fast for Zhao Guang to see, he slashed out 18 times, and more than 300 interlacing sword energies dashed toward the condensed black figure!

  Hiss… In the last strike, Premier Xia combined himself with the sword and went through the middle of the shadowy black figure!

  Bang!

  The golden Vital Yang Sword broke into two pieces.

  The shadowy black figure scattered slowly, and Premier Xia’s body rushed forward and rolled to Zhao Guang’s feet.

  “Hahaha… Master, you didn’t realize that I’m still a fragment of your soul, right? It was me who immobilized you!” Xu Ke’s weak voice came from the shadowy figure.

  The shadowy figure which had almost scattered suddenly condensed into a black ball, and this ball moved to the distance about 10,000 meters away instantly.

  With heavy eyelids, Premier Xia watched the black ball flee helplessly. He had wanted to die together with his rival, but he still hadn’t been able to destroy the devil soul. He didn’t anticipate that the devil dragon had a split soul.

  Looking up at Zhao Guang, Premier Xia’s face began to dim. “Dragon King… take care of… Princess Zi…”

  764 Want to Become a Mortal

  Zhao Guang helped Premier Xia up with shaking hands.

  As an old official from Zhao Haoran’s reign, he was loyal to Zhao Haoran and the East Ocean Dragon Palace. He had seen Zi’s birth and her growth. Although Zi didn’t come back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace very often, he was like an old man who was guarding the old house, hoping that she would come back so that he could take good care of her.

  Living with Zhao Guang, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t understand Premier Xia’s loving care, and even Zhao Guang had sometimes neglected this diligent old official.

  Premier Xia could unleash the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Realm, but he was not a Heavenly Dragon cultivator after all.

  The moment that he opened the seal, he had known the result. After Zhao Haoran left the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Premier Xia’s purpose in life was to block a catastrophe for the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

  Although he could unleash the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Realm, he couldn’t use it until the moment when the East Ocean Dragon Palace was on the verge of destruction, and the forbidden place was about to be broken.

  Even during the fierce battle between the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan where Zhao Haoran had fought in person, Premier Xia had to hide his true strength.

  Premier Xia, the loyal official of Zhao Haoran, had abided by the agreement which he and Zhao Haoran made. He had waited for this day ever since he was a handsome and tall man. Now, he had become a weak old man.

  Bearing the solitude for hundreds of years, he had waited until today. The only bright light in his grey life was watching the vivacious Zhao Yanzi growing up little by little. She was like a granddaughter to him, and she got taller and prettier each time she came back to the dragon palace.

  Premier Xia’s happiest moment was the days when he stayed in East Ocean City. It was his first time leaving the East Ocean Dragon Palace to see the land and the prosperous life in the city.

  After that, even though Zhao Guang and Hao Ren asked him to go to the city often and get some relaxation, he didn’t dare to leave the dragon palace.

  He was satisfied after seeing what the current mortal world looked like. He had to stay in the East Ocean Dragon Palace to guard it against the powerful potential enemy who could destroy the dragon palace, just like today.

  “Well…” Looking at Premier Xia, Zhao Hongyu sighed heavily in sadness.

  She remembered that on her wedding day, Premier Xia who had been busy tending to the internal affair of the dragon palace was both the organizer and a kind senior.

  However, Premier Xia’s meridians were all broken, and he was dying.

  “Premier Xia!”

  Hao Ren’s crisp voice suddenly came from the high sky.

  Zhao Hongyu looked up and saw Hao Ren hurrying over with Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi.

  “Grandpa Xia…” Seeing Premier Xia’s blackened face and the absence of his hunched back, Zhao Yanzi froze for half a second and then landed immediately by his side.

  Hao Ren had steadied Su Han’s injuries with his nature essence in the Dragon God Palace while the three elixir pills began to work. Then, the nine Deputy Shrien Masters had immediately taken her into the shrine to heal.

  Although Su Han was still unconscious, she was no longer in the danger of dying. Worried about the situation in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Hao Ren immediately flew back with Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia.

  When they came to the back mountain, it was too late, and the devil essence containing Xu Ke’s fragment soul had fled.

  “Princess… Zi…” Seeing Zhao Yanzi, Premier Xia’s dim face brightened a bit with satisfaction.

  “Grandpa Xia…” Zhao Yanzi’s tears rolled down her face.

  She didn’t have a deep attachment to Premier Xia, but Premier Xia had taken good care of her each time she came back to the dragon palace and had been a very kind senior. Despite her outward willfulness, Zhao Yanzi was soft-hearted and couldn’t hold back her tears when she saw that Premier Xia was dying.

  Seeing the dark faces of the elders around Zhao Guang, Xie Yujia knew that they had all been poisoned by the devil essence. Immediately, she handed them some Detox Pills.

  Now that she could make level 6 pills, she had stored many level 5 pills in her bracelet.

  The elders had been sustaining themselves with nature essence. When they saw the level 5 Detox Pills, they immediately swallowed them. Gradually, the devil essence in their bodies began to recede.

  The level 5 pills were precious in this world and could be called celestial pills which even could bring the dead back to life.

  Seeing Premier Xia’s weak state, Xie Yujia wanted to help, but she had given her level 6 pills to Su Han, and the level 5 pills probably would have no effect on him.

  “Gongzi Hao… Take care of… Princess Zi…” Premier Xia looked at Hao Ren and said slowly.

  Hao Ren took his hands and tried to inject nature essence into his body, but he found that the latter’s meridians were all broken.

  Premier Xia was a peak Qian-level cultivator, and he had suppressed his strength for hundreds of years with the Vital Yang Sword in his back. Today, he released all his strength abruptly and obtained the power of the Heavenly Dragon Realm for a short time, but he had broken all the meridians in his body by doing so.

  “Grandpa Xia, don’t die! Don’t die…” Zhao Yanzi finally realized how much Premier Xia loved her, and she clutched his hand while her tears kept pouring down her face.

  “Let me have a try!”

  Seeing everyone’s sadness, Xie Yujia walked over and placed her hand on Premier Xia’s forehead, injecting about a dozen Life-Death Notes into his body.

  Life-Death Notes had an impressive name since it could control people’s life and death.

  Life Notes drew out the life energy from nature while the Death Notes borrowed the killing intent of nature.

  The silver Death Notes kicked out the black devil essence from Premier Xia’s body while the golden Life Notes sucked in the life energy from nature continuously.

  Breathing shallowly, Premier Xia suddenly found that the meridians in his body begin to heal themselves slowly!

  While his face turned pink, Xie Yujia’s face turned pale.

  Xie Yujia had never tried to inject Life-Death Notes into a cultivator’s body before.

  It was a very powerful technique, and only Qingfeng Hermit could use it at will. It was
due to this power that the Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn’t dare to mess with her.

  “Yujia!”

  Seeing her pale face, Hao Ren immediately took her left hand and injected five-elemental nature essence into her body continuous.

  Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, and the elders were amazed when they saw Premier Xia recovering little by little.

  Bang!

  Xie Yujia’s right hand was suddenly bounced off from Premier Xia’s forehead, and it was the limit that her Life-Death Notes could achieve.

  “Gongzi Hao, Ms. Xie, thank you for saving my life…” Premier Xia cupped his hands and was about to kneel.

  With one hand supporting the weak Xie Yujia, Hao Ren reached out in a hurry and stopped Premier Xia from kneeling.

  Seeing that Xie Yujia was shaking slightly, Zhao Yanzi immediately caught her shoulders to support her.

  “Premier Xia, it’s great that you are ok…” Zhao Guang heaved a sigh of relief. “You must go into the dragon palace to rest.”

  “Dragon King, now that I’ve come back from death, I have a request,” Premier Xia struggled to stand up and said.

  “Premier, please go ahead.” Zhao Guang looked at Premier Xia earnestly.

  Premier Xia hesitated for a few seconds and said, “My dragon core had been shattered. Even though I’m still alive, I can only be a mortal and thus can’t take the role as premier. I… want to live like a mortal.”

  Zhao Guang nodded. “Elder Lu and Elder Sun have identities in East Ocean City, and…”

  “I… just want to be an ordinary mortal,” Premier Xia said immediately.

  Zhao Guang looked at him and understood what he meant.

  After being busy for about 800 years in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Premier Xia was tired. Now that Zhao Haoran had passed away, and Premier Xia had finished his mission, he didn’t want to manage the dragon clan’s business anymore.

  “Elder Lu, please take Premier Xia to land,” Zhao Guang said with a slight sigh.

  “Thank you, Dragon King!” Premier Xia cupped his hands at Zhao Guang and then turned to look at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia. “Thank you, Gongzi Hao and Ms. Xie!”

  He finally could go onto land as a real mortal, and he would never return to the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Of course, he would never speak to anyone about the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

  With the elixirs in East Ocean, he could go back to his thirties and probably would have his own children and grandchildren. However, his grandchildren would never know that their grandpa had once been the Premier of the East Ocean Dragon Palace and a master who had possessed the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Realm.

  Watching Premier Xia walking into the depth of the dragon palace with Elder Lu, Hao Ren felt as if an old man who was tired both physically and mentally was leaving the company in which he had worked for dozens of years.

  Suddenly, Hao Ren shivered when he thought of his grandma.

  Taiyi Cave Master could get any information. Since the metal-elemental dragon cultivators could find his home, Taiyi Cave Master naturally knew the whereabouts of his family!

  Hao Ren had rushed to the bottom of the ocean immediately when he saw the surging ocean waves around the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but he hadn’t thought that Taiyi Cave Master might go to his home!

  Boom!

  Stepping on the sword energy, Hao Ren flew up instantly.

  Taiyi Cave Master had attacked suddenly while Su Han was going through the Heavenly Tribulation, disturbed the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and then almost destroyed the East Ocean Dragon Clan.

  Hao Ren had busied himself with saving Su Han and then the elders in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but he had neglected his grandma and his parents who had nothing to do with cultivators!

  An ordinary dragon cultivator would never make a move against mortals no matter how fierce the battle was. However, Taiyi Cave Master wasn’t under the rules of the Dragon Tribe anymore!

  In Hao Ren’s mind, his parents and grandma were mortals and outside of this circle, which was why he hadn’t thought of them right away!

  Hua… Hao Ren rushed out from the ocean and flew toward his home immediately.

  In his home, the window on the first floor had been shattered!

  765 The Savior

  “Grandma!” Hao Ren dashed into the house from the high sky.

  Seeing Hao Ren flying away suddenly, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi immediately followed him out of the East Ocean. When they saw the broken windows in Hao Ren’s home, they were alarmed.

  “Hao Ren, why did you come in from the back door…” Yue Yang who was scrambling to help Grandma looked back and saw Hao Ren rushing in from the broken French window. She asked him in surprise.

  Bang! Bang!

  While she asked, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia also dashed into the house.

  “What happened to Grandma?” Seeing Grandma lying across the sofa, Hao Ren asked anxiously.

  “Don’t ask questions now. We must get your Grandma to the hospital first.” Yue Yang shook her head.

  Bang!

  Hao Ren slammed his fist onto the glass tea table in front of the sofa and instantly shattered it.

  He was angry at himself for not thinking of the possibility that Taiyi Cave Master might attack his family.

  Yue Yang was startled when she saw Hao Ren shattering the tea table with one punch.

  Seeing blood oozing from his fist, she knew that it was due to his worry for Grandma, but his reaction was a bit extreme to her.

  When Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi saw Hao Ren’s bloody fist, their hearts ached for him, knowing that he hadn’t put any nature essence into his fist. However, when they saw Grandma who was unconscious, their hearts stopped for half a second.

  “Oh… Little White!” Zhao Yanzi turned her head slightly and suddenly spotted Little White lying in a corner beside the curtain, so she ran over to pick her up.

  Seeing the blood on Little White’s pure white fur, Hao Ren gasped.

  He had arranged Little White to protect his family, and she was injured in the process as well!

  Hao Ren clenched his fists while rage burned inside him!

  However, he didn’t know that it was Xu Ke who was controlling that devil dragon rather than Taiyi Cave Master.

  Screech! Hao Zhonghua drove his car from the garage and stopped at the door.

  Hao Ren and Hao Zhonghua looked at each other, and Hao Ren saw the anxiety on his father’s face. He immediately carried Grandma on his back and rushed out, placing her in the car.

  “Hurry! Let’s go!”

  At Hao Zhonghua’s impatient urging, Hao Ren and Yue Yang got into the car in a hurry.

  Since Grandma lay on the back seat, Yue Yang sat beside her to take care of her, and Hao Ren sat in the passenger seat, there was no room for Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi in the car.

  Therefore, the two girls had to stay at the door anxiously.

  Hao Zhonghua saw Zhao Yanzi carrying Little White in her arms, but he had no time to worry about the dog. Stepping on the gas, he drove onto the main road and headed toward the hospital.

  Looking back at Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia, Hao Ren knew that they could follow, but he was worried about Little White, wondering if she were still alive.

  The anxiety that he had never experienced before spread all over his mind, making him shiver all over.

  Grandma had taken care of him all his life; he wondered what he should do if anything happened to her. Little White liked to play silly and cute and could now even change into a loli; what if she died?

  Hao Ren was panicking, but he was sure of one thing - he would kill that devil dragon who had hurt his family!

  No matter if Grandma and Little White would be saved, he would kill that devil dragon for sure!

  “She’ll be fine. She’ll be fine…” Seeing Hao Ren’s shoulders and arms shaking uncontrollably, Yue Yang comforted him while supporting Grandma.

  Keeping his eyes on the road ahead, Hao Zhonghua remained silent while driving
at the fastest speed possible.

  “It was a spherical lightning bolt. East Ocean City had an earthquake, and then a black spherical lightning bolt fell from the sky. Your grandma was standing at the window, telling your dad to call you and ask you if you were ok. Suddenly, the black ball dashed in. Little White probably thought that it was food and leaped up to catch it. However, the lightning ball knocked away Little White and moved toward your dad. Then, your grandma rushed over to block it,” Yue Yang explained.

  Hao Ren knew that Little White wasn’t a puppy, and it wouldn’t jump up to catch a frisbee as puppies did. It had known that the black ball was dangerous, and it had blocked it with its body!

  Hao Ren lifted his head slightly and saw Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia flying above the car inside an energy sphere. Little White was still in its puppy form lying in Zhao Yanzi’s arms.

  For some reason, Hao Ren was a little calmer when he saw the two girls.

  When one was in a desperate moment, they would want their loved ones to be close to them.

  Hao Ren saw them and felt as if he had all the support that he needed.

  Right now, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia were also panicking. When they followed Hao Zhonghua’s car and saw Hao Ren, they also found some comfort.

  Grandma was kind to them, and they were worried that something terrible would happen to her. Besides, they were afraid to see Hao Ren’s sadness if he lost Grandma.

  They hoped that they could live together happily and didn’t want Grandma to leave them like this.

  Hiss! Hao Zhonghua turned the car to the Eastern Hospital, the best hospital in East Ocean City. Hao Ren opened the door and carried Grandma in his arms, dashing into the building.

  While Hao Zhonghua got the car out of the garage, he had contacted the president of the Eastern Hospital. When they arrived, doctors and nurses immediately came over and moved Grandma into the emergency room.

  Hao Ren could inject his five-elemental nature essence into cultivators, but he could do nothing with mortals. When he carried Grandma, he had tried to inject some nature essence into her but found that Grandma had very fragile meridians. If he injected nature essence into her body, it would put her in greater danger.
