"Don't blame Old Zheng."
The Dragon Lord comforted Elder Zhou at this moment, "Even I didn't discover this matter. It seems that too many things are involved here."
Lin Xiao immediately looked at the Dragon Lord. From the Dragon Lord's words, Lin Xiao discovered a key point!
After saying this, did the Dragon Lord know who did it? Or rather, did the Dragon Lord know the most suspected group of people?
Seeing Lin Xiao's burning gaze, the Dragon Lord nodded, "Leave this matter to them to handle. Lin Xiao, come with me."
"Old Zhou, Old Zheng, you stay here, no need to follow."
Saying that, the two left the ward and went to a specially cleared room on the top floor.
"Lin Xiao, what do you want to ask, go ahead."
The Dragon Lord gestured for Lin Xiao to sit down. His expression seemed a bit weary.
This was the first time Lin Xiao had felt helplessness from the Dragon Lord's words, which made him even more curious. "Dragon Lord, do you know who might have done this?"
"Perhaps I do. There are very few people in the entire Dragon Country who could do this right under my nose," the Dragon Lord nodded, looking at Lin Xiao, "And these people are all beings that you cannot provoke right now."
"Even I cannot."
Lin Xiao understood the first sentence. Just as Mr. Zhuge said, if there were an organization like the Shadow Assassins, with a hundred and eight God Realm or even beyond God Realm experts, it would be a miracle that he was still alive. But the Dragon Lord couldn't provoke them?
The Dragon Lord was protected by the True Dragon Qi and the destiny of the nation. As long as he didn't step down from his position as Dragon Lord, he was an invincible existence in the mortal world. Unless someone beyond the God Realm dared to defy the heavens and risk the backlash of destiny, no one could be the Dragon Lord's opponent.
Nor would anyone want to make trouble for themselves.
But for the Dragon Lord to say this, who exactly were those people?
"Is it related to the Shadow Assassins?" Lin Xiao ventured to ask.
"You know about the Shadow Assassins?"
The Dragon Lord raised an eyebrow. "That's right, you must have encountered them during your trip back to Star City... Are you alright?"
He examined Lin Xiao, not finding any injuries on him.
"I'm fine. They just appeared for a moment, and then, they didn't do anything and left." Lin Xiao could only assume that the Shadow Assassins were worried about Mr. Zhuge's formation.
"They didn't do anything?"
The Dragon Lord pondered for a moment before continuing, "Lin Xiao, you know, as the Dragon Lord, bearing the destiny of a nation and protected by the True Dragon Qi, I am almost invincible within the Dragon Country. Even those beyond the God Realm, I can contend with."
"I know."
"Then do you know why I am 'almost' invincible, and not 'invincible'?" the Dragon Lord asked.
"I don't know..."
Lin Xiao certainly didn't know. He had come here precisely to have the Dragon Lord explain.
"Because, in the Dragon Country, the Inner Realm is just a general term for those hidden sects and families. These are things that can be contacted with just some strength. Just like you, you are now starting to help the Inner Realm connect with modern society and make reasonable arrangements," the Dragon Lord said. "But, in the Dragon Country, besides the Inner Realm, there is another group of people. Those people are the most mysterious and terrifying existences."
"They are called Qi Refiners."
