Old Pete's face was equally unsightly, and he had even more wounds than the Dragon Emperor.
"Then I'll see how long you can hold out."
A purple flame suddenly rose from the Dragon Emperor's body.
Upon seeing the purple flame, the people near the square were overcome with a deep-seated fear and involuntarily knelt before the Dragon Emperor.
"Dragon Emperor Flame?"
Old Pete said with a sneer, "If it were used by the first Dragon Emperor, it might pose some threat to us, but as for you..."
Pete smiled dismissively, an unmatched fighting spirit emanating from him.
The moment this battle intent touched the Dragon Emperor Flame, the Dragon Emperor Flame began to slowly extinguish!
"It seems that you, the Dragon Emperor, are quite a bit inferior to the first generation of Dragon Emperors."
At this moment, the Dragon Emperor could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shelby, who was standing not far from the Dragon Emperor, rushed over and helped the Dragon Emperor, who had collapsed to the ground, to his feet.
"Your Majesty, how are you?"
The Dragon Emperor's aura was already faint and barely perceptible: "Shelby."
Seeing the Dragon Emperor, who had treated him like a teacher and father, fall to the ground, Shelby's eyes were filled with rage:
Damn it!
He was about to rush forward when the Dragon Emperor grabbed his sleeve.
"Shelby, don't be impulsive."
Due to the severity of his internal injuries, blood spurted from the corner of the Dragon Emperor's mouth again, and he could only speak intermittently.
"Leave the Dragon Palace, go...go find the Dragon Maiden..."
"She...she is the hope for the revival of the dragon race!"
Shelby was in tears, while Pete was getting closer step by step.
Shelby gritted his teeth, stood up, and wanted to leave.
Pete sneered, "Trying to leave now?"
"Unfortunately, it's too late!"
As he finished speaking, crimson flames rose from all directions, illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime.
But at that moment, the Dragon Emperor suddenly raised his hand.
Large swathes of purple flames shot into the sky, like dazzling fireworks.
When the crimson flames encountered the purple flames, they seemed to have met the king of flames, and for a moment they hesitated to advance.
Shelby, as expected of the Dragon Emperor's personal guard, decisively seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of the moment when the crimson flames were unable to advance, suddenly ran out of the square.
William wanted to chase after him, but Pete stopped him.
"Lord Pete, if we let Shelby leave, it will cause us a lot of trouble later on."
Pete said coldly, "Not letting you go after them is just my advice to you younger generation. If you don't want to listen, you can send someone to try."
After hesitating for a while between Pete's advice and Shelby's value, William finally waved to his men.
Two figures sped off towards the edge of the plaza in the direction Shelby had gone, but they had only just reached the edge of Dragon Emperor Plaza.
Purple flames spread out like snakes, tearing and biting up their bodies.
The two were startled and tried to reach out to extinguish the Dragon Emperor's flames.
But when their arms touched the purple flames, their fingers also caught fire.
"ah!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the plaza as the dragons watched helplessly as the two were engulfed in purple flames, emitting horrific screams.
"I told you long ago not to chase after them. Do you really think the Dragon Emperors have no tricks up their sleeves after so many years of succession?"
William remained silent with a dark expression, helplessly waiting for the Dragon Emperor's Flame to extinguish.
...
The edge of the Dragonbone Desert.
After leaving the battlefield, Xu Fan's immortal spirit body began to gradually repair his injured body. By the time they reached the edge of the Dragon Bone Desert, Xu Fan's wounds had healed by about 70-80%.
At that moment, Sofia suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Sophia, what's wrong?"
He saw Sophia but didn't speak, his eyes fixed on the Holy City.
Xu Fan followed Sophia's gaze and saw large swathes of purple flames rising from the holy city like fireworks.
"My father has had an accident."
Sofia murmured to herself, but her grip on Xu Fan's hand tightened even more.
Xu Fan turned around and reached out to wipe away the tears on Sophia's face.
“If you want to see your father, I will take you into the city.”
For some reason, when Xu Fan saw Sofia with tears streaming down her face, it was as if he saw Xu Yan crying, and a sense of guilt welled up in his heart.
With the Yellow Court Sword Manual in his possession, Xu Fan believed that even if he couldn't defeat Parker head-on, he could still bring Sophia in and out of the Holy City smoothly, and probably few people in the entire Dragon Clan could stop him from doing so.
A wind had suddenly risen in the Dragonbone Desert, howling fiercely, and the frail Sophia shivered in the wind.
Xu Fan remained silent for a moment, then took off his suit jacket and draped it over Sophia's shoulders.
After a long silence, Sophia managed a weak smile: "Thank you, brother."
Xu Fan smiled and said, "I'm your brother, you're welcome."
After saying that, Xu Fan took Sophia's hand and walked into the Holy City.
With such a major incident occurring in the Holy City, the garrison at the gate had no intention of verifying their identities, allowing Xu Fan and Sophia to swagger into the royal city.
An aged voice faintly echoed across the Dragon Clan Square;
"The Dragon Emperor clan has enjoyed the worship of the people for so many years, but they have concealed many important facts..."
Xu Fan turned his head and gently asked Sophia beside him:
"Where to now?"
Sofia hesitated for a long time before saying:
"Brother, I want to go home and visit."
Dragon Palace?
Xu Fan nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there."
News of what happened in the square had already reached the palace, and the William family had entered the Dragon Palace.
Crying and commotion could be heard everywhere. The William family was busy searching for the Dragon Emperor's treasures in the Dragon Palace and had no time to pay attention to the entrance of the Dragon Palace.
Xu Fan easily led Sophia into the Dragon Palace.
Soon after, the two of them arrived silently in an empty palace.
This is clearly Sofia's former bedroom.
However, before Sofia left, the place was bustling and lively, but now it was deserted.
Sofia stood at the palace gate, one hand gripping a pillar, biting her lip to keep her tears from falling.
Xu Fan stood silently behind Sophia, his longsword ready to be drawn at any moment.
