Chapter 143 - Punishment
"It\'s been a while, Riyan." Jin Rou patted the dragon\'s head gently. It was like a scenario of two friends meeting each other after a long time.
"It is, indeed, Your Majesty." The celestial dragon said, "I thought that you will not call me again since you descended from the heavens."
"Haha, I really don\'t have a plan for previously, since you are too strong for the lower worlds." Jin Rou laughed and looked at the terrified dragon on the other side, "But a dragon dared to boast in front of me because it had the bloodline of the True Dragon. So I decided to call you out."
The celestial dragon looked at the terrified dragon, "Just a True Dragon and you dared to act arrogantly in front of His Majesty? You have tons of guts there just because you are from a good race."
"Ahhhhh!" The terrified dragon immediately lowered its head in front of the celestial dragon and pleaded, "This lowly one is Release, one of the mighty dragons of Grivexia. I did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, please forgive me for being blind." the dragon was shaking in fear. Just the emitted aura of riyan was already enough to make it tremble.
Celestial Dragon Riyan. As a dragon, it knew who this dragon was! The celestial dragon was the proclaimed most powerful dragons of all the races in the universe. All of the celestial dragons were his juniors. Once it passed by, all dragons needed to prostate! After all, this was the oldest celestial dragon. To top it off, this dragon was under the overlord of the entire universe, the Rou Celestial Family!
So there\'s no need to compare celestial dragons to true dragons. After all, true dragons were one level lower than celestial dragons. But of course, one could not underestimate the power of the true dragons because they reigned the major realms up to now!
"Hmph. It is not me who will decide what to do with you." The celestial dragon looked at the terrified dragon with disdain, "It is for His Majesty to decide. Whatever the decision, you don\'t have the right to say anything nor plead!"
These words resonated in the entire mountain range that it made the ground trembled!
The terrified dragon did not say anything and just maintained its lowered head. It was full of regret and hate for himself. Regret because of his blind arrogance, since this was the lower world, it never thought that it could offend an existence it should not offend! An existence that could wipe their entire race out. If the elders were to know of this, it would become the sinner of its clan.
The terrified dragon just wished that everything will be settled with its incoming punishment.
The celestial dragon then looked at Jin Rou and bowed his head, "Your Majesty, please decide of what to do with this ignorant dragon."
Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He called out Riyan in order to take care of this, however, the celestial dragon dumped the work back to him. He then asked, "Riyan, since you two are part of the same race, dragon, do you have perhaps some rules for the entire race? After all, you are the strongest and oldest of them all." He decided to dump back the work to his celestial dragon.
"Hmmm.. indeed, I established a rule." the celestial dragon pondered for a moment, "But all of them had the punishment of death. So death is the right punishment for this ignorant dragon."
"Ignorance is not a sin. Blind ignorance is." Jin Rou smiled looking at the prostrating dragon, "If I was not here and you appeared, I am sure you will kill the residents of this world without mercy, for fun. That, I cannot allow. So your punishment is death. However..." Jin Rou whispered \'True Death\' before adding, "I can give you a painless death."
The dragon did not respond and just fell to the ground.
Stomp!
Its large body created a large stomp from the impact. Soon, it turned into dust and was taken by the wind, flying into the distant horizon.
Silence. A deafening silence that if someone breaths, it could be heard by everyone.
The three sectmasters, who watched the whole scene, trembled in fear, their faces aged by tens of years, with each strand of hair falling as if their scalp disappeared. They mustered their last bit of strength and rushed away to run!
Seeing the running away sectmasters, who were like dogs losing their master, Jin Rou chuckled, "Riyan, take care of them. Let them taste the wrath of your power. Send them to the everlasting cauldron of fire of eternity!"
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Celestial Dragon Riyan looked at the running away sectmasters and said, "Blind dogs, blame yourselves for offending an existence who you should not offend!"
Weeeeeeeng!
A blinding light appeared for a moment. Soon, it disappeared and the three sectmasters could no longer be found.
The spectators were confused about this. Where did those three go?
Little did they know, the three sectmasters were already suffering in a cauldron of eternal fire. There, they will not die unless their vitality withered.
"Good job, Riyan." Jin Rou patted the dragon\'s body.
"It is my pleasure to be of use to Your Majesty." The celestial dragon was elated, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, the other four annoying guardians inside the Void Gate told me that Your Majesty should also summon them and let them breathe a cool air. It seems they are bored inside. After all, they were there for a very long time."
"Alright, I will summon them in a later time. I could not summon all of them for now. You know that, right? My family, especially my grandmother, could easily detect my location if all of you were to be summoned." Jin Rou smiled wryly.
"I will tell them your words, Your Majesty." The celestial dragon respectfully said, "As your Five Celestial Guardians, we can understand Your Majesty\'s situation."
"Thank you." Jin Roua activated the Void Gate, once again, and said, "You can now go back. Thank you for your service, Riyan."
"Very well, Your Majesty. It is my honor. If you need me again, just call me and I will offer my whole life to do service for you." the celestial dragon became a streak of light that shot towards the Void Gate.
Jin Rou nodded in satisfaction, "It ended too fast."
Yuna Sierra, who was silent all along, smiled and said, "But of course, it is to be expected, Youngmaster. After all, you are an invincible existence with a lifespan of billions of years."
Jin Rou sighed and looked into the distant horizon, which the sun was setting, "Billions of years, huh..."
For some reason, he felt an indescribable feeling, a heavy feeling, which he felt for the first time. However, he brushed this off immediately and smiled.
