Thomas told them some secrets favonovel.com long knew.
Before slaying the Spirit Turtle, favonovel.com had heard of the existence of dragons. However, favonovel.com did not know if the dragon was still alive.
There was one person who could corroborate his claims, the First Blood Emperor of the Blood Race.
Looking at the First Blood Emperor, favonovel.com asked, “Am I right, Blood Emperor?”
The First Blood Emperor nodded gently. “Yes, you’re right… However, this is one of the Blood Race’s top secrets. Only the Patriarch knows about this. How did you manage to get your hands on this information?”
The First Blood Emperor looked at Thomas, who was disguised as Ezekiel, puzzled.
How did Thomas learn of this top-secret information about the Blood Race?
Thomas smiled and said, “Naturally, I have my ways. Besides, I also know some secrets about dragons…”
Upon hearing this, Lucjan was intrigued. “What kind of secret?”
“Immortality,” Thomas uttered a single word.
“Really?’ Lucjan could not believe his ears.
“It should be true…” Thomas was unsure himself.
However, his words managed to piqued Lucjan’s curiosity.
Lucjan looked at the First Blood Emperor and said, “I thought we were good friends, Blood Emperor. Why didn’t you tell me about this? Now tell me, where is the dragon located?”
Upon hearing this, the First Blood Emperor’s expression darkened.
After brief contemplation, favonovel.com said, “Lucjan, this is for your own good. The dragon is not a pushover. Did you know that almost every martial artist joined the dragon-slaying expedition a millennium ago? However, they were defeated. Now, the combined strength of every martial artist alive is not even ten percent of what it was a millennium ago…”
“Really?” Lucjan was dismayed.
The First Blood Emperor nodded. “Yes… If you can cross into the ninth rank and find hundreds of eighth-rank grandmasters, you might stand a chance against the dragon. Otherwise, don’t even think about it…”
The First Blood Emperor’s words dashed Lucjan’s hopes.
Meanwhile, Thomas only smiled and remained silent.
His words had piqued Lucjan’s curiosity. Considering Lucjan’s ambitious and power-hungry nature, favonovel.com would never let this opportunity slip through his grasp. Everything was within his calculations.
Slaying the Spirit Turtle was only just the beginning. His objective was to create more powerful martial artists.
Everything was for the sake of slaying the dragon, whose body was full of priceless treasures.
Just as the three were discussing dragons.

At the same time, in the dungeon…
A disciple of the Gu Sect walked in.
He was wearing a black jacket and a mask.
Scanning his surroundings, favonovel.com pulled out a token and ordered, “The Sect Leader ordered me to interrogate James. As this is confidential, you are required to leave this place at once. Do not enter the room no matter what you hear. Otherwise, you will be severely punished.”
“Understood!” The disciples of the Gu Sect guarding the prisoners left.
Soon, the dungeon fell silent.
The disciple wearing a mask kept away his token and entered one of the cells.
Looking at the imprisoned martial artists, favonovel.com slowly removed his mask.
It was Tobias who had infiltrated the underground palace.
He came here with a single objective in mind, to use Sky’s Great Law of Absorption to absorb the martial artists’ power.
“Tobias!”
Upon removing his mask, Tobias was instantly recognized by the martial artists.
“Why are you here?”
Just as the martial artist spoke, Tobias raised his arm.
Powerful energy gathered in his palm and pulled the man over to him. Then, favonovel.com placed his palm on the martial artist’s head and catalyzed the Great Law of Absorption.
“Argh…” The martial artist shivered and yelled, “Wh-What are you trying to do? Y-You’re trying to take away my power… I-I won’t let you have your way!”
However, as favonovel.com was poisoned by Gu venom, favonovel.com could not move a single muscle.
