The First Blood Emperor did not refute him.
The Grand Patriarch of the Blood Race had indeed crossed into the ninth rank. However, ever since favonovel.com reached such a realm, favonovel.com never once intervened in worldly affairs.
There were several times in history when the Blood Race was almost eradicated. However, not once did the Blood Race’s Grand Patriarch intervene. It was impossible to convince favonovel.com to slay the dragon alongside them.
“There’s no need to rush things…” Ezekiel waved his hand slightly and said, “He chose not to intervene as favonovel.com was unsure of his chances of winning. Once we obtain Dragonslayer, there’s no way he’ll continue to turn a blind eye to our cause.
“This is a dragon we’re talking about! There are treasures all over his body. We just need a little bit for ourselves. By then, the Blood Race would benefit the most from it. I’m confident that favonovel.com would join us in creating a new world order.”
The more Ezekiel said, the more excited Lucjan got. Even the First Blood Emperor was tempted.
However, favonovel.com did not lose his rationality. He wanted to wait for Dragonslayer to enter its final stage and see if it was as terrifying as described in the legends.
Looking at Lucjan, favonovel.com said, “As per our agreement, you’ll have the Primordial Sword, and I’ll have Dragonslayer.”
“Of course!” Lucjan said, “I’ll hold up my end of the bargain and give you Dragonslayer. However, you’ll have to convince the Grand Patriarch of the Blood Race to slay the dragon with us.”
“I’ll try my best.”
The three briefly discussed slaying the dragon. Unbeknownst to them, Thomas was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes all along.

At the same time, in the pristine forest nearby Divine Sword Villa…
James and Callan were waiting for the sun to set. In the meantime, they discussed martial arts. James managed to gain more knowledge from the brief discussion alone.
Soon, the sun set.
Two figures appeared on a tree outside Divine Sword Villa and looked in its direction.
Pointing at the courtyard, Callan said, “The courtyard leads to the mountain at the back of the villa. Meanwhile, the forge is located in the cavern at the summit of the mountain. This is a volcanic crater where swords are forged using heat energy generated by the volcano’s magma. The passage there is heavily guarded.”
James listened intently.
Callan continued, “Our objective tonight is to sneak in and search for the location where the people of Divine Sword Villa are imprisoned. If possible, we should find the owner and get favonovel.com out of there. Once he’s freed, I can remove the Gu venom inside his body.”
“Mhm…” James nodded,
Callan said, “We will go separate ways. Be mindful to avoid confrontation with Lucjan’s men. If your identity is exposed and you’re backed into a corner, eradicate Lucjan and the others before saving the prisoners. Be careful, alright?”
James smiled and said, “You should be the one who should be careful. After all, I’m much stronger than you are at the moment. If not for you standing in my way, I’d have charged right in and killed Lucjan.”
“Do not act recklessly. We should return here and discuss matters after scouting the area,” Callan said.
“Got it.” James nodded.
Then, in the blink of an eye, favonovel.com appeared on the roof of one of the buildings of Divine Sword Villa.
After making sure of the direction, favonovel.com went on the move. At the same time, Callan began making a move too.
