Chapter 617 - Release Him Immediately! (1/2)
”D-Did you just say the Golden Dragon Robe, father?” Shen Shi asked him with a dumbfounded look on her face.
”Yes, I did.” The Dragon King nodded with a solemn face.
”We don't have any Dragon Emperors in this world, so does this mean that someone from the upper heavens came down here? But why the Fairy Paradise?” Shen Shi then asked.
”I am sending you there to answer that question. Hurry up and get moving. If he's really a Dragon Emperor, we don't want anything to happen to him. If he's real, you should know what to do.”
”I understand.”
Shen Shi then followed Elder Zou back to the Fairy Paradise using some sort of special talisman that teleported them there within seconds.
Meanwhile, back at the Fairy Paradise, Yuan was sitting in the corner of the prison cell while silently pondering to himself if there was anything else he could do to get out of this situation.
'I just wanted to look at the Zither Goddess's immortal cave…' He sighed inwardly.
Eventually, Elder Xue returned to the prison and said to him, ”Take out your Golden Dragon Robe. I need to verify something.”
Yuan had no choice but to hand over his Golden Dragon Robe to her.
'At least she didn't ask for the blood essence…' He thought to himself as he handed her the Golden Dragon Robe.
Once she had the robe, Elder Xue left the scene and went to another place, where Shen Shi and the other sect elders were waiting.
”Here is the Golden Dragon Robe. Please verify it.” Elder Xue handed the robe to Shen Shi.
”T-This is…”
Shen Shi was visibly shaken when she touched the Golden Dragon Robe.
”This is real… My blood is reacting to it…”
She then looked at Elder Xue and spoke with a frown on her face, ”You need to release that person immediately!”
”Unfortunately, that is not possible, as he'd violated our Fairy Paradise's law, and without the Fairy Empress's approval, we cannot let him go.” One of the elders there said.
”Screw the rules! This is a Dragon Emperor we're talking about! Even if he's not from our Royal Dragon Family, we have a responsibility to protect him! If anything happens to him, we'll be the least of your worries!”
”You do not belong to a royal family, so I don't blame you for being ignorant, but a Dragon Emperor is not someone you can offend! A single Dragon Emperor can remove my entire family with a single command, much less your Fairy Paradise!”
The elders there were left speechless by Shen Shi's words. They have never encountered a Dragon Emperor before, so they didn't know the severity of their situation.
”We'll release the man, but this doesn't mean he can leave.” Elder Xue suddenly said.
And she continued, ”Before we can fully release him, we'll need to speak with the Fairy Empress.”
