Li Cheng sensed for a long time and found that the Killing Law, Dark Law, and Law of Death were omnipresent, unlike the rule of Devouring, which was concentrated within Dragon Mountain.

That is to say, this Refining Dragon Prison might have been constructed with these three laws, meant to contain Dragon Mountain!

If that was the case, then the previous speculation could be explained; the Dragon Clan's ancestors built this Refining Dragon Prison to house Dragon Mountain, and at the same time threw clan members who had committed grave offenses into it, ostensibly as punishment but actually to maintain the vitality of the Devouring Ancient Dragon's Divine Origin.

Since that was so, now that he had taken the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod and given the power of the bloodline of the Devouring Ancient Dragon to the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Clan must have noticed or would notice once he left the Refining Dragon Prison.

"It seems I need to leave the Refining Dragon Prison before the Dragon Clan reacts, or I could likely be surrounded by the upper echelon of the Dragon Clan..." Li Cheng thought to himself.

At that thought, Li Cheng said, "Uncle Master, Elder Ao, enter my Divine World and make haste to refine those two bloodline powers. I will find the exit and leave this place."

Neither the Dragon Emperor nor Ao Qianchi contradicted him, entering Li Cheng's Divine World, while Li Cheng sped towards the way he had come, soon arriving below Heaven Pond.

Heaven Pond held no blockage for the Human Tribe, and Li Cheng easily flew into the mirror of water above, swiftly moving against the pulling force towards the surface of the pond.

Just as he flew out of Heaven Pond, a light shield suddenly appeared above it, the majestic presence of a deity spreading out.

Outside the light shield, hundreds of Divine Venerables from the Dragon Clan stood all around, their eyes following him with intent.

"For capturing twenty-three of my Dragon Clan's Divine Venerables, human, what do you intend to do?"

Outside the light shield, a voice boomed like thunder, laden with thick anger.

Li Cheng scanned the surroundings. When coming to the Refining Dragon Prison, Divine Venerables had already been following behind him. By the time of his journey to the Refining Dragon Prison, the Dragon Clan had been prepared, setting up a great Formation here and even summoning so many powerhouses.

"Hand them over, and I, this emperor, will spare you a path to life!" the thunderous voice continued.

Li Cheng turned his gaze to the middle-aged man outside the light shield who was speaking. His Divine Emperor's Realm aura was completely unmasked, causing even space to twist slightly.

"So quickly rousing a Divine Emperor of the Dragon Clan? May I ask who I have the honor of addressing?" Li Cheng asked calmly.

The middle-aged man frowned, seeming rather unwilling to deal with Li Cheng, but because Li Cheng held twenty-three Divine Venerables, he had to be patient and said, "I am the Dragon Clan's thirteenth Elder."

"Kid, it's only because the thirteenth Elder has a good temper. If it were another elder here, you would have already been suppressed on the spot, so hand over the people nicely to avoid suffering!" someone said.

The thirteenth Elder waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently, "You were given a chance. I give you three breaths of time!"

"Wait! Thirteenth Elder, could you leave this to me to resolve?"

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice like a mountain stream traveled from a distance.

"Greetings to Princess Wushuang!"

As the voice quickly approached, the group of Divine Venerables hastily paid their respects.

The thirteenth Elder, however, frowned slightly, "Princess Wushuang, this person carries your Dragon Command, which I have sensed. But he has captured more than twenty of our Divine Venerables, including the Ninth Prince!"

Wushuang's arrival was somewhat unexpected for Li Cheng.

Wushuang, swift as lightning, stopped outside the Formation, saying, "There must be some misunderstanding in this situation. Please leave it to me, thirteenth Elder. I will handle it appropriately."

The thirteenth Elder said no more, merely nodding slightly.

Wushuang looked towards Li Cheng within the Formation, her expression complicated. It hadn't been long since they last saw each other, yet Li Cheng was now capable of capturing over twenty Divine Venerables of the Dragon Clan. Such cultivation speed was astounding!

"Long time no see!" Li Cheng said, a smile appearing on his face.

Wushuang entered the Formation and stopped about two meters from Li Cheng. A smile appeared on her incomparably beautiful face, "Indeed, long time no see. However, this way of meeting is somewhat awkward."

Li Cheng shrugged noncommittally, "I'll hand these twenty-three people over to you so as not to make things difficult for you."

With that, Li Cheng brought out the space bubbles suppressing those Divine Venerables.

Wushuang looked towards the thirteenth Elder outside the Formation, "Thirteenth Elder, can you now withdraw the Formation and let him leave?"

The thirteenth Elder pondered. It wasn't an easy decision to make; letting him go would diminish the Dragon Clan's prestige, but how to explain it to Princess Wushuang if he didn't?

Just then, the twenty-three individuals broke through the spatial suppression, and the Ninth Prince shouted, "Thirteenth Elder, this person has slain my Golden Dragon King, he cannot be released!"

The thirteenth Elder's expression darkened, "How dare you, having such audacity to kill one from my Dragon Clan!"

Wushuang's expression froze as she slowly turned to look at Li Cheng, "What's going on?"

Before Li Cheng could speak, the Ninth Prince interjected again, "You see, thirteenth Elder? Wushuang is colluding with this lowly member of the Human Tribe. According to our clan rules, kindly leave her to me to be thrown into the Refining Dragon Prison!"

Li Cheng glanced at the Ninth Prince. Is this how he repays someone who saved him, with ingratitude?

What enmity does this guy have with Wushuang anyway?

Rustle!

The Formation twisted, and in an instant, the thirteenth Elder teleported the Ninth Prince and the others outside, while Wushuang was restrained by him, "Matters concerning Princess Wushuang can wait. Since this man has slain a member of the clan, he should be executed!"

Wushuang, being restrained, couldn't move at all, her face full of anxiety, yet she couldn't even speak!

After all, she was only a Divine Monarch, with a chasm-like gap separating her from the Divine Emperor.

Li Cheng, however, could see that Wushuang did not have it easy in the Dragon Clan. Otherwise, a mere word from the Ninth Prince wouldn't have caused the thirteenth Elder to personally take action to restrain her.freewebnσvel.cøm
