<strong>Capítulo 2306: Chapter 2306: The Long n</strong>


    “Are you saying there’s someone behind the gold dragon?”


    Julius Reed finally felt a wave of emotion inside.


    Back at the grand temple in Mont, he had witnessed a mysterious man riding away on a gold dragon.


    Now, Windy Johnson’s words coincidentally matched that scene.


    As a result, the anticipation in Julius Reed’s heart grew heavier and heavier.


    “Yes, I’ve always believed that the gold dragon is the most powerful among theher beasts. It possesses the ability to think, not as intelligently as humans, but at least enough to manipte people.”


    Windy Johnson fell into memories, starting to ponder the crux of the issue.


    “At the time, I always thought there was someone advising it. Otherwise, how could a dragon possess such profound wisdom?”


    “You might not be aware, but we had interacted with the dragon race before. Long ago, they wreaked havoc in the mortal world and were nearly wiped out. Trent Marsh insisted on sparing them.”


    “Dragons aren’t strangers to us. We know them well, so when I was schemed against by a dragon, I guessed it had controlled certain people.”


    “But to my surprise, within our Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, there was someone who subdued the gold dragon, turning it into his ve. In the end, it wasn’t the gold dragon that wanted to conquer the world, but that person using the gold dragon to scheme against me to achieve it.”


    “That day, I clearly remembered, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance held a routine lords’ meeting.”


    Windy Johnson coughed a few times, lost in reminiscence.


    “Unlike before, something big happened this time at the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance! Previously, as the Imperial Heaven Official, I intentionally created conflicts during the distribution of territories, causing two forces to start fighting openly and secretly, until it reached a life-and-death scenario!”


    “The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was already on the verge of copse! There was no way to resolve this conflict. Silvio Reed, knowing the seriousness of the situation, called for such a meeting.”


    “I think, Long Wind has told you, and I also told you. Silvio Reed, to quell the anger, had his people offer upnd, which seemingly stirred Emily’s ill intentions. Both factions looked down on Silvio Reed.”


    “The tension at this meeting was palpable.”


    “At the time, there was a fierce conflict over the feudalnds! I pretended to stop it, unsessfully, but everyone sympathized with me. The day before, many people had approached me, hinting that if I were willing to rece Silvio Reed, they would assist me in rising to power. The price was to kill the other faction.”


    “I agreed to it. Both sides were kept in the dark.”


    “That day, Silvio Reed sat on the dragon throne, and everyone started to challenge him.”


    “They wanted to force him to abdicate. But I didn’t react. Because I was coerced, the gold dragon would surely step forward!”


    “Sure enough, the gold dragon appeared, joining those people to kill Silvio Reed!”


    “Trent Marsh wasn’t there, Dragon Dance disappeared, and Silvio Reed was deserted by his allies! With the gold dragon controlling theher beasts, Silvio Reed had no chance whatsoever.”


    “But you know what? A king is a king! Silvio Reed’s hall had a formation! A very strong formation, called the Dragon yer Formation!”


    “Silvio Reed gave everyone a chance; he drew the golden sword, pointed at the people, and shouted ‘Rebels will die.’ But no one listened, except me, standing in ce, not moving.”


    “Everyone, as if insane, rushed in to kill Silvio Reed, ultimately perishing under the formation.”


    “Even the gold dragon had its dragon tendons severed. Silvio Reed showed us what a true War God was!”


    “But you know, from start to finish, what puzzled me was the person who orchestrated me never appeared. The injured gold dragon fled frantically. But all those people died.”


    “Silvio Reed walked through the formation, saved me, but then disappeared himself.”


    “Since then, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance became nothing more than a legend.”


    “Those who survived began to expand, waging chaotic wars. Thend grewrger, but martial artists had diminished.”


    “I thought it all ended just like that.”


    Windy Johnson shook his head with a bitter smile, “Butter, I found out, Lord Silvio didn’t die! The Law Enforcement Team took us all here, detaining us for generations. They let us get trapped, starved, and die here.”


    “It’s aw set by Trent Marsh, implemented throughout the whole Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.”


    Windy Johnson sighed, “I don’t hate Lord Silvio. Lord Silvio didn’t have to save me; he understood everything. But Lord Silvio told me he saved me because we’re brothers, and I’m confined because under the greater good, everyone is equal.”


    “Is the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance gone just like that? What about Silvio Reed?”


    Julius Reed looked at Windy Johnson and asked, “And you, howe you cane and go freely without restrictions?”


    “Me? I don’t have free ess. We’re trapped here, unable to leave, but we need to live. Everyone was starving, and we came up with this idea.”


    “We pretended to be a port, luring people here and then eating them. Is it cruel? To survive, we had no choice. Now that it’s over, everyone’s dead, no more suffering.”


    “As for my limited ability to go out, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance is no more. No one reinforces the formations here, and theyck capability. As the formations loosen, I can leave temporarily. But there are only ten days each year I can leave. Coincidentally, today is one of them.”


    He spoke, having little energy left.


    Although not fatal, he was indeed quite tired.


    “For the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance to end like this, it’s too unusual. Do you know who the person behind the gold dragon is?”


    Julius Reed spected, “Could it be Silvio Reed? Would he do this to eliminate dissenters or test everyone’s loyalty?”


    “No! Absolutely not!” Windy Johnson vowed, “Everyone knows Lord Silvio’s character. He wouldn’t do this. If he wanted to kill someone, the king has the power. On the contrary, I have always suspected that person is Trent Marsh! Because just after Trent Marsh disappeared, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance underwent such a change. Everyone knew Trent Marsh coveted that position for a long time.”


    Windy Johnson was convinced it was Trent Marsh.


    Even without a shred of solid evidence.


    “I can tell you very responsibly, it’s not Trent Marsh. Trent Marsh isn’t as scheming as you think. He was trapped in the divine realm by Dragon Dance, only recently returned.”


    Julius Reed had once suspected that Windy Johnson might be the mastermind and concocted a story to exonerate himself.


    But many details could be exined away.


    “Trent Marsh? Trapped in the divine realm?” Windy Johnson slightly frowned, “Could this be rted to the Dragon n?”


    “The Dragon n?”


    Julius Reed asked back, “What kind of n is this?”


    “Dragon Dance is the representative of the Dragon n! The Dragon surname signifies dragon tamers. Back then, dragons were eradicated with the help of the Dragon n tamers, led by Dragon Dance. That’s also why Dragon Dance had even more nominal authority than Lord Silvio in the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!”
