The endless mountain ranges rise and fall among the clouds, and from time to time, a loud dragon's roar can be heard.
One of the towering sacred mountains, with its tiered, terraced slopes, is home to countless powerful creatures.
"Is that Dragon Cliff?"
Jiang Yan tried to reach it with his divine sense, but was blocked by an invisible restriction.
"Holy Lord, several divine thoughts have locked onto us. Should we purify them immediately?"
"Losia asked softly."
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Yan shook his head almost imperceptibly.
He turned and asked, "You agreed to meet here?"
"Yes, it's just ahead at the Dragon Leap Gate, Master."
Yaberlik said in a low voice, "I have been actively activating my aura since I arrived in the Dragon Cliff area. Logically speaking, my people should be able to sense my presence, but there has been no response so far."
"Unfortunately, they all deleted me from their Longxuntong contacts, so I can't contact them, and my other friends haven't replied to me either."
"There's no use worrying. Let's go. We'll just find that dragon and ask him in person later."
Jiang Yan gave a reassuring sigh and led the way forward.
As they traveled further, they encountered more and more creatures, most of which were sub-dragon species.
They watched from a distance, somewhat fearful, and dared not approach.
Soon, the group arrived at a spacious platform at the foot of the mountain.
This place is teeming with life and is very lively.
There is even a demigod-level fire dragon here.
It hovered in front of the narrow intersection, and a sub-dragon tried to rush through but was smashed into a pulp with one blow and then turned to ashes in the flames.
However, this tragic situation did not seem to scare the other dragons, who continued to go down and challenge them one by one with great enthusiasm.
“Master, this is the Dragon Gate. Any sub-dragon species or other creatures that can break through the blockade of a giant dragon can gain the right to reside in the dragon's territory.”
"I'll introduce myself," Yaberlik said.
"It's just an ordinary trial, why is it so cruel?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"You are unaware of this, Master. For some reason, these sub-dragon species are becoming increasingly rampant, and the lower areas of Dragon Cliff are almost overflowing with people."
"So the higher-ups arranged this trial, partly to reduce some of the population pressure, and partly to find some clever people to go to the middle and upper areas to do some cleaning and other odd jobs."
"They need to be exceptionally good to earn this honor."
Yabolik is accustomed to this.
"Well..."
Jiang Yan fell silent for a moment.
He thought he had already gone too far by occasionally making his employees work overtime.
I never imagined that in Longya, even a job opportunity would be so hard to obtain.
Compared to this, I, the Holy Lord of Light, truly live up to my name; I am so conscientious.
During the conversation, another sub-dragon stepped forward.
It seemed to have pulled out some treasure and offered it obsequiously to the fire dragon guarding the pass.
The dragon, seemingly angry, put away the bribe and then lashed its tail at the ground—but missed.
The dragon took the opportunity to slip through the passage.
"This works too?" Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback.
"Money can make the dragon push the millstone."
"Besides, the Dragon Zone is 1200 times the size of the lower zone, so it won't make a difference if we don't fill one or two more spots."
Jaberlick explained.
"This is truly an eye-opener."
Jiang Yan nodded thoughtfully.
He felt he had gained new insights into management.
Perhaps we can try some things when we get back.
Hmm... let's start with the dwarves as the pilot group.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yan asked, "Did that lady from the Purple Dragon Clan say when she's coming?"
"She said she would take a shower in Yunhai and then come over, which would take about two hours."
"It's a little embarrassing," said Jacobi.
"No problem, I can just wander around. Hey, what's that?"
Jiang Yan looked around and pointed to a place where a large number of living beings had gathered.
"Uh, that's... Hey, Master, wait a minute, there's nothing to see there." Aberystwyane suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly tried to dissuade him.
Jiang Yan walked forward on his own, with the three angels following closely behind.
With a gentle flap of their wings, they sent all the dragons blocking their path flying to the side.
The dragon, who had been slapped away, got up and glared angrily. Just as he was about to start cursing, he saw Aberystwyn following him like a little brother. He immediately put on a fawning smile and slipped away.
"It turned out to be a wanted poster."
Jiang Yan stared speechlessly at the stone wall in front of him, which was covered with wanted posters.

[Number of completed tasks: 167]
Jiang Yan's gaze lingered on the number of times it was completed, and he pondered, "So, you were beaten up at least 167 times?"
"Ahem, I can explain this, Master..." Aberystwyane said awkwardly.
"I understand, I understand."
Jiang Yan continued reading.

...
Jiang Yan glanced over and found a total of 37 entries related to Jacobi.
"You didn't end up in Dragon Cliff because you couldn't make it there, so you deliberately fell into depravity and got locked up by the various realms, did you?"
Jiang Yan said with a strange expression.
Although dragons are known for being rather capricious in matters of the heart, this guy is far too philanthropic.
"Heh heh, I was naive when I was young," Jacob chuckled.
"Although Longya is vast, you managed to capsize 37 times while juggling dozens of boats. Your reputation as a Casanova is well-deserved."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"Not really..."
Just as Jacobi was about to explain, a clear shout rang out.
“Jaberlick, here.”
A magnificent purple dragon with beautiful scales stood gracefully.
“Oh, she’s here. I’ll go now, Master,” Aberystwyth said somewhat anxiously.
—Of course, the main purpose was to find out about the Holy Dragon Clan.
"Go."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly and continued to look around.
At that moment, three angels stepped forward silently and placed him in the center as a protective shield.
Losia whispered:
"Holy Lord, we are surrounded. There are 376 dragons, 8 high-ranking gods, 37 mid-ranking gods, and the rest are low-ranking gods."
"Oh? When did this happen? Were there any dragons of the Holy Light type?"
Jiang Yan asked, his expression unchanged.
"After entering Dragon Cliff, these weak reptiles began to stir. As for the Holy Light system, apart from some faint auras over there, I didn't find anything by scanning the entire Dragon Cliff with my divine sense."
"No? Then it seems to be the worst possible outcome for Jacobi."
Jiang Yan sighed softly.
If even the archangel's divine sense couldn't detect it, there's only one possibility.
All the Holy Dragons of Light here are dead.
