“Indeed. We have no other choice,” Bai Xiuxiu nodded.
At that moment, Huang Daoqi and his son entered from outside.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu quickly stood up.
Huang Daoqi smiled and gestured for them to sit, “Don’t be formal, please take a seat.”
Everyone sat down, and Huang Daoqi looked at Lan Xuanyu, saying, “Miss Lan, your situation is indeed quite special. This was completely unexpected to us. For your matter, I specifically consulted with Moke Dragon Knight.”
Upon hearing the name ‘Moke Dragon Knight,’ Lan Xuanyu’s heart chilled. There was no doubt that one who could become a Dragon Knight had to be at least a True God-level powerhouse, and also possess a powerful Mount Dragon.
“Moke Dragon Knight said that your situation likely arose because your bloodline level has surpassed the Dragon Power levels of the Dragon Power Hall. This is the only possible explanation. He is very interested in your case, so he will come to meet you and examine your situation in detail. This is indeed a rare opportunity!”
Hearing this, Lan Xuanyu’s heart tightened, and his alarm increased. A Dragon Knight, that was one of the most powerful Dragon Knights ranked seventh on Sky Dragon Planet.
In front of a Dragon Knight, could his disguises, illusions, and makeup still be effective? It was entirely unknown.
More importantly, if his identity were exposed in front of a Dragon Knight, he didn’t know if he would have any chance to escape.
According to all records from Sky Dragon Planet, Dragon Knights were the most powerful beings in the entire Dragon Horse Star System. Sky Horse Star also had many powerhouses, and Sky Horse Knights were strong too. But to contend with a Dragon Knight, Sky Horse Knights relied on their numerical advantage. Individually, Dragon Knights were certainly the strongest in the Dragon Horse Star System.
Considering this, how powerful could a Dragon Knight be? With the knight themselves and their Mount Dragon combined, was there a possibility they had reached the Super God Level?
While such thoughts raced through his mind, he couldn’t show his concern and only responded with some surprise, “Moke Dragon Knight is coming? That’s wonderful. I’d also like to see what a Dragon Knight is like. When will he arrive?”
Huang Daoqi said, “It shouldn’t be long, Lord Dragon Knights are quite busy. But Moke Dragon Knight is very interested in your case. He should arrive within two days. Here’s what we’ll do, first off, Fenglong City warmly welcomes your joining. I will have Yuan Lang help you with your identity issues and invite you to join our family. Once Moke Dragon Knight arrives, we’ll notify you.”
“Thank you, that would be great,” Lan Xuanyu nodded in agreement.
Bai Xiuxiu also secretly sighed with relief. With two days’ time, they could prepare a lot. The worst-case scenario was to run away. Once they fled into space, given some time, no Dragon Knight could possibly catch up to them. However, everything they had done before would then be in vain. That was certainly not a situation they hoped to see.
Leaving the City Lord Manor, they returned to Bai Xiuxiu’s residence.
Originally Huang Daoqi wanted to arrange a new residence for Lan Xuanyu, but he declined. He expressed that living with Bai Xiuxiu was fine for him.
With the Dragon Power Shackles in place, Huang Daoqi wasn’t worried about what would happen next, and let things take their course.
Upon returning to Bai Xiuxiu’s castle, they summoned Yuanen Huihui and Tang Yuge. The four of them gathered together to discuss their strategy.
Lan Xuanyu recounted the situation he had experienced in the Dragon Power Hall earlier that day, saying solemnly, “We must now make a decision, whether to meet this Moke Dragon Knight or not.”
Bai Xiuxiu said, “The safest option would be to withdraw immediately. Alternatively, we could relocate to a different city and go into hiding.”
Tang Yuge shook his head and said, “Relocating to a different city might prove difficult. Even if we could go into hiding, we could no longer act openly. We could only operate in secret. While operating in secret might allow us to achieve something, Liang Pu’s identity would be wasted. We’d have to start all over again. Moreover, if we’re merely lurking in the shadows, we wouldn’t have direct access to the upper echelons of the Sky Dragon Planet. We might at most gather some civilian intelligence, or engage in some sabotage during a future war on the Sky Dragon Planet. This contradicts our original intention.”
Yuanen Huihui said, “But meeting that Moke Dragon Knight, wouldn’t it be too dangerous? He is at least a true god-level powerhouse. And amongst true god-level powerhouses, he must be an extremely formidable presence.”
Tang Yuge looked at Lan Xuanyu and asked, “Xuanyu, what do you think?”
Lan Xuanyu replied, “I’ve been thinking about it on the way back. This Moke Dragon Knight is a guardian of the Imperial. Because of the curse, we should have already earned the trust of the Imperial. The Imperial will definitely have informed the Moke Dragon Knight about our cursing situation. This means that the likelihood of the Dragon Knight suspecting our identities is not high. However, once we meet, there’s a high chance he will test our strength. During that process, it is most likely that our true nature would be exposed. The issue lies with me; I didn’t anticipate the changes in the Dragon Power at the Dragon Power Hall, which led to the encounter with the Moke Dragon Knight.”
He indeed felt some regret. If it hadn’t been for his eagerness to absorb the Dragon Power, if they had just allowed Bai Xiuxiu to continue infiltrating Fenglong City methodically, they could have already accomplished much. At the very least, they would have obtained the initial methods of the Dragon Knight’s cultivation.
But now, they had yet to gain anything. Clearly, Huang Daoqi planned to wait until the Moke Dragon Knight arrived before addressing the issue.
“It’s not your fault; it was my idea to begin with! Why don’t we just retreat?” Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly suggested.
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “We can’t retreat. If we do now, our great opportunity will be completely ruined. At least the two of us cannot retreat. And once we’re acknowledged by this Moke Dragon Knight, the benefits could be tremendous. So, this situation has two sides, relating to whether we can infiltrate the enemy’s upper levels. If the Moke Dragon Knight can accept us, it means that we can go farther in the future, even to that ‘Space.'”
Bai Xiuxiu looked deeply at him and said, “But our safety also concerns the safety of all hundred-thousand-year plant-class soul beasts. If you’re in danger, then everyone might not be able to return.”
Lan Xuanyu replied, “So, we must make some preparations. Yuge, Huihui. We must stir things up this time. I will immediately contact Tree Elder and summon all plant-class soul beasts back. Then I will send you back to the Thirty-Three Skywing Warship. If all goes well, afterwards, I will send a signal to you from space, and then bring the plant-class soul beasts back. If by the agreed time, we haven’t sent a signal, everyone should immediately return to the Seventh Fleet. Our mission will have failed.”
Tang Yuge frowned deeply, “Do you mean to leave just the two of you here to take the risk?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “This is the best plan. It minimizes losses and maximizes gains. Ideally, all will be well, but if there indeed arises a problem, the chance of us two to escape will be slightly higher.”
Tang Yuge asked, “Have you already decided?”
Lan Xuanyu replied, “We can’t leave. The opportunity this time is too rare; we haven’t yet obtained the Dragon Knight’s cultivation methods, nor have we found the life core of the Sky Dragon Planet. There is too much here worth exploring. Once we get through this, the sky’s the limit. We can bring everyone from the Thirty-Three Skywing here to properly establish a foundation for the Future Federation to take over this massive Administrative Planet. There’s even the other Sky Horse Star and the entire Dragon Horse Star System. We can’t give up this opportunity no matter what. We will make the most thorough preparations.”
On the way back earlier, he had in fact already decided; he had no other choice. Facing the situation at hand, he had to rise to the challenge and meet the imminent trial head-on.
