Chapter 200 No More Restraint
In the end, Iwan and Mr. Huggins left the area where the Duncan family was stationed.
Far in the middle of the Dragon Kingdom, there was an area with hundreds of thousands of mountains. In its heartland, extremely high mountain peaks were seen everywhere. The trees in the mountains were also very tall. The ancient trees were just a few steps away from each other, and they were one to two meters in diameter. On the side of a 2,000-meter-high mountain here stood an ancient academy-Spiritual Cave. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
The academy had been here for hundreds of years. According to some ancient books, it could date back more than 1,000 years. In the academy, no trace of modernization could be seen. The floor was paved with huge blue flagstone, and the houses inside had been built with a very ancient wooden style.
Situated in the innermost part of the hundreds of thousands of mountains, the Spiritual Cave was a place people rarely visited. The mountain peak was surrounded by miasma all year round, the wild animals were numerous, and there were also many poisonous insects. Besides, the magnetic fields of the underground and peak here were very special. Some electromagnetic devices could not work here, so it was very hard to contact the outside world.
Unexpectedly, there was such a beautiful utopia and such an antique mountain academy in such a remote area. More surprisingly, there was also an extremely terrifying force in it. Yes, more than a dozen Emperor-level powerhouses lived here, and they served as teachers. As for its president and vice president, they both had the strength of an elder of the Dragon Kingdom, especially the president, whose strength was unfathomable.
But some people visited their academy today. They were the senior elder and second elder (Judy) of the Dragon Kingdom, both in black robes. Yet, the clothing that the people from the president
down to each ordinary God of War-level student (Indeed, even the most ordinary student here had the strength of the God of War) in the academy wore was white. Therefore, the visit of the senior and second elders immediately aroused hostility from these people. But the two elders didn't care about it at all.
Half an hour later, the president and vice president in white vintage robes confronted the senior and second elders at the entrance of the academy.
The heavily wrinkled, aged president was sitting opposite the senior elder. With a deep frown, he looked at the elder attentively and then said slowly, "Shelton Hayes, as agreed, you can't be here. Just like I won't go to Gotham. You've… crossed the line."
The first elder laughed out loud. With a wave of his black robes, he sat facing the president and said, "I was free, and I came here to see you. I was bored in Gotham."
The old president arched his brows, looked up at the second elder behind the senior elder, and then said, "Hah… you come. That's fine. But why did you bring Judy Lopez here? The two strongest powerhouses in your Dragon Kingdom today come and block the entrance of our Spiritual Academy."
After a pause, the president narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "So, this means your Military Headquarters plans to attack the top noble families, right? Our academy has also received some information."
"Hahaha…" the senior elder waved his hand and laughed. Then he poured a cup of tea calmly, took a sip, and said, "That's a rumor. President, stop your wild guesses. I just wanted to take a sip of your tea. Your tea tastes good indeed! It has a flavor making you feel good. It is different from the tea in the secular world, whose flavor is getting lighter!"
On the cushion, the old president fell silent and put his hands into his wide sleeves, waiting for the senior elder to continue his talk. After sipping the tea, the elder put down his teacup and gradually stopped smiling. Then he picked the teacup up again and turned it in his hand with a cold eye, saying, "President, you are talking about my Dragon Kingdom, right?"
The president nodded and said, "Right. Shelton, you want us to swear fealty to you people and be bound by your secular punishments? Don't forget when your Dragon Kingdom was founded! Our academy has gone through 1,000 years! You want us to submit and be a part of your country, eh? You… have no right to say that!"
"Hahaha… hahaha…" the senior elder heard it and laughed. After laughing for a long while, he nodded coldly and said, "Oh, I have no that right! I have no that right!"
"Shelton, get out! You can't be rude in the Spiritual Cave! Do you really think we're afraid of you people? I know you guys have thermal weapons now, but let's see if you dare to use them on us." The vice president standing behind the president shouted at the senior elder with a dark face.
The vice president wanted to continue shouting, but the second elder behind the senior elder suddenly unsheathed his long sword, aiming at his head. No doubt, the second elder was much more powerful than the vice president.
"How dare you resort to violence, Judy!" the vice president changed his expression drastically and took steps back with foot-landing thuds. The visible force of the second elder's sword left an obvious markable scratch at the spot where the vice president had just stood. With a bang, the huge bluestone that had been lying here for 1,000 years split into pieces.
But the second elder snorted, "Humph, why do I dare not? I'm using violence! If you have guts, fight me! You guys are a horde of people who do nothing in an important position! You steal the fate of the nation, and you don't care about the civilians! You're all garbage! I'll kill anyone like you I meet!"
"Judy, you! …" The vice president instantly exploded, wanting to fight, but the old president stopped him. "No, don't fight now!"
"Yes, president!" The vice president immediately bowed his head, silent. Apparently, he didn't dare to act rashly in front of the president.
But the senior elder, still heading down, was toying with the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, as if he liked it very much. Thus, he didn't seem to know anything about what had just happened.
The old president looked back at the large bluestone that was already broken. Then he looked at the senior elder deeply and said, "The bluestone has been here for 1,000 years, and it has weathered the sun and wind. Over the 1,000 years, it has witnessed numerous students leave for the outside world. But today, it turned to pieces…"
The senior elder was silent. He kept toying with the teacup, but he, a very smart person, naturally knew what the old president meant. The president was comparing the bluestone to the Spiritual Cave. He was telling him that the Spiritual Cave had also made contributions to this land before.
Seeing that the senior elder was silent, the president thought for a while and continued, "Shelton, the Spiritual Cave is not a place for killing. Don't bring it here! This is a holy ground!"
"Ho, ho… no, this place is not a holy ground. You people claim the Spiritual Cave is already 1,000 years old, but is it really that old? It is probably 600 to 700 years old, right? As far as I remember, the only place that can be called holy ground on this land since the beginning of history should be the National Cornerstone Academy dating back to 2,000 years ago. All of the people there, from the teachers to the president even to the most ordinary person who swept the floor, strove for the good of the civilians across the country. A place like that is called holy ground!" The senior elder said calmly.
Then the senior elder paused and continued, "How can your Spiritual Cave deserve to be called the holy ground? You're stealing the fate of the Dragon Kingdom, trying hard to seize the best resources, and occupying the land with the best geological advantages, all for selfish purposes. When foreign enemies came to attack the nation, you guys didn't go to fight them. Instead, you stirred up trouble in our country. Then… how could you dare say your place is holy ground without feeling ashamed? If this is the holy ground, discarding it is fine."
After the senior elder finished that, the old president sitting opposite exuded his momentum with a boom, turnning his eyes ice-cold. Seeing the strong will to kill in the eyes of the senior elder, he took a deep breath and stared at him, saying, "Shelton, the Military Headquarters of your Dragon Kingdom is crazy, and so are Rendon Scott and Carl Addison. Are you crazy, too? Do you know what you're talking about?"
With a boom, the senior elder also exuded his King-level momentum, which surpassed that of the president. At the moment, a faint black dragon-shaped momentum appeared on him.
The old president's faint momentum was a light blue serpent, which was the embodiment of the solidified form of a King-level powerhouse's momentum.
Looking at the president's faint solidified momentum, the senior elder said with a smile, "Ho, ho, this is not even a flood dragon, but you want to scare me supported by it, eh?"
Eying the faint solidified black dragon-shaped momentum behind the senior elder, the president shrank his pupils and said, "Black dragon? How could it be possible? You… want… to do that? Impossible! It's impossible to do that in this world!"
The senior elder sneered, "Hah, it doesn't matter whether I can do that or not. I'm already 70. That's enough for me."
The president's frown deepened, and his momentum rose again. He looked at the senior elder deeply and said, "Shelton, I've told you our Spiritual Cave's principle. We won't interfere with each other's affairs! Don't go too far!"
"Ho, ho… won't interfere with each other's affairs? Led by you people, those hidden forces, the dozen or so of sects, the top nine noble families, and those secular powerful families across the Dragon Kingdom, all supply you people with large amounts of resources. Do you know what that is? That's the fate of the country! The fate of the Dragon Kingdom! We won't interfere with each other? Hah, what beautiful words! Do you think nothing will happen to you even if our Dragon Kingdom perishes?" the senior elder sneered. He was turning colder and colder.
The president shouted, "Shelton, we didn't stop you people when you were founding the state! Remember?"
The senior elder suddenly drew his sword from its sheath, aiming at the president. He stormed, "But you didn't fight the cavalries when they were trampling this land 100 years ago! Ignoring that is equal to a yes to the invasion! You're getting lots of resources from this land, but you don't care about the civilians living here! Can your place deserve the name of 'holy ground'? Don't push me! What a f*cking holy land!"
The old president was also angry. He had just claimed that no weapons shall be used in the academy, but now, he unsheathed a long sword from his waist. He pushed the senior elder's sword with his and said, "Good! Shelton, since you want to crack down on us as the wise men of the past did, then have a try! You're at the third stage of the King level. I'll see if your strength matches the arrogant way you talk!"
The senior elder sneered, "You won't know until you try."
"Hah! Come on, let's fight!" the president roared coldly at the senior elder. Then he leaped briskly toward the mountain peak in the distance, and the senior elder quietly went after him with his sword.
After the president and the senior elder left, the second elder pointed his sword at the vice president and said, "You're too weak to be my rival. Don't accuse us of bullying you people. Ask more to come over and then go! The others stay on your f*cking holy ground! Don't force me to slaughter you all!"
Humiliated by the second elder, the vice president gritted his teeth in fury. He could see that the second elder was already at the first stage of the King level, but they were not yet.
So the vice president shouted, "Five practitioners at the peak stage of the Emperor level, come with me! Let's deal with him together! He's at the first stage of the King level. The gap between us is not that wide!"
As soon as the vice president finished that, five teachers at the peak stage of the Emperor level, who had been teaching a long time, came out from the rear of the Spiritual Cave. Then the six people went to another fighting ground with the second elder.
