Li Wei stared at the Fire Dragon Head in shock.

It had replied, "I’m not dead yet."

This meant it wasn’t denying that it was the Dragon Corpse from the Secret Realm.

Li Wei’s mind blanked, unable to comprehend what it meant.

He had clearly seen the Dragon Corpse, which had been dead for centuries.

Its Dragon Crystal and Dragon Heart had both been dug out.

It had been completely drained of blood.

And now, it was telling him it wasn’t dead.

Li Wei took a moment to compose himself. ’From the perspective of its soul, it’s true that it’s not dead yet,’ he thought.

’If it were truly dead, I wouldn’t have been able to see it at all.’

The Fire Dragon Head saw Li Wei’s silence.

"You are stealing my Power."

Li Wei grew a little flustered.

"I will not hold it against you. I can even gift this Power to you."

"In exchange, you must help me leave this place."

Li Wei lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up at the Fire Dragon Head and asked, "How can I help you?"

’I should agree for now, no matter what. Secure the benefits first and worry about the rest later,’ he reasoned.

’Once I leave this place, whether I actually help it or not will be up to me.’

"Find me. Take me out of here."

Li Wei was speechless. "Where are you?"

"I don’t know either."

"..."

Li Wei was at a loss for words.

’What am I supposed to say to that?’

The Fire Dragon Head said, "I can feel that my body is not far from me. My Dragon Soul should be near my body."

"It’s not far, a hundred kilometers at most. Just look for it."

Li Wei was even more speechless.

’Searching for your Dragon Soul within a hundred-kilometer radius... how is that any different from finding a needle in a haystack?’

Li Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Can you see the outside world?"

"No."

"For centuries, the seal has remained stable. Someone must have been maintaining it all this time."

"The one who sealed me must have set up an intricate Magic Array. You can try looking for that."

"Time is almost up. I’ll send you back, or the Watcher will discover you."

"Remember to find me."

Li Wei’s vision went black.

He opened his eyes and found himself back beside the Giant Dragon’s corpse.

He was sitting cross-legged in the Dragon Blood Pool, but the once-boiling, searing Dragon Blood had already cooled down.

All of its Power had been absorbed by Li Wei.

His Elementalized body had long since returned to normal, and he looked no different from an ordinary person on the outside.

But Li Wei himself could feel the immense Power surging within him.

Words appeared before his eyes.

[Crystal Meditation Method (Tier Two)]: 8456/10000

[Dragon Flame (Basic Level)]: Bloodline awakened, Flame Power greatly increased.

A new Extraordinary Trait.

Li Wei reached out his hand, and a flicker of flame appeared in his palm.

The Dragon’s Flame.

Dragon Flame!

Li Wei stood up and walked out of the Dragon Blood Pool.

Having lost its Power, the Dragon Blood Pool had become an ordinary puddle of blood.

He glanced at the Red Dragon’s corpse and headed outside.

He had already taken all the benefits he could from this place.

What remained was impossible to take with him.

Li Wei felt no reluctance to leave it behind.

As for rescuing the Dragon Soul, Li Wei decided not to think about it for the time being.

According to legend, the Five-Colored Dragons were all symbols of evil.

This Red Dragon had been killed, its Dragon Crystal and Dragon Heart taken, and its Dragon Soul imprisoned somewhere.

Even its Dragon Corpse was sealed within the Secret Realm.

The eighteen Obsidian Rock Nails pinning the Dragon Corpse in place were the seal.

The Magic Runes covering the cave served not only to preserve the Dragon Corpse but also as part of the seal.

It was clear how seriously the person who killed this Red Dragon had taken the matter.

However, after his initial contact with the Dragon Soul, Li Wei’s impression of it wasn’t bad.

’It doesn’t seem like an evil Giant Dragon,’ he thought.

’But first impressions can be deceiving.’

Li Wei planned to first figure out what had actually happened at Dragon Fall Slope.

Only then would he decide whether to search for the Dragon Soul.

The Dragon Crystal, Dragon Heart, and Dragon Soul were the most valuable parts of a Giant Dragon.

"Look, he’s coming out!"

Everyone turned to look at Li Wei.

Li Wei saw a group of people gathered at the edge of the barren land and understood that their intentions were hostile.

He stood just outside their attack range.

Without a word, he began Casting.

The Fire Element gathered around him, forming a massive Fire Serpent.

Empowered by the Dragon Flame Extraordinary Trait, the Fire Serpent grew even stronger, its body wreathed in roaring flames.

It even looked somewhat like a dragon.

The crowd could only watch helplessly as Li Wei cast his spell, unable to stop him.

"Don’t worry, he won’t dare to attack us! If he attacks us first, we’ll have the moral high ground!" someone shouted, trying to steady the crowd.

Li Wei let out a laugh.

The thirty-meter-long Fire Serpent shot toward an area where Magic Beasts had gathered.

Seeing this, the Magic Beasts scattered in a panic.

The crowd was hit by the stampeding Magic Beasts, and their formation was instantly broken.

The more timid ones, seeing things were going south, turned and fled.

Once the first person ran, the others couldn’t hold their ground either.

They all turned and ran.

It was no joke. If a Fire Serpent that large came crashing down, they wouldn’t be able to block it at all.

"Why is his Fire Snake Skill so powerful?"

"How should I know?"

"It must be because of his Extraordinary Trait! He used a Fireball Skill to blast a Lava Giant to death before."

"What kind of Extraordinary Trait is that? It’s just too ridiculous!"

The Fire Serpent lunged forward, leaving a trail of Scorched Earth in its wake.

Even a Tier Three Magical Beast was roasted to a crisp in just a few seconds.

Seeing this, the crowd ran even faster.

The members of the Reinstein Clan watched with looks of terror.

With a single Fire Snake Skill, Li Wei had forced the crowd to scatter without a fight.

Li Wei walked out of the barren land and picked up the Demon Cores left behind by the dead Magic Beasts.

Having obtained the power of the Dragon Blood, Li Wei was in no hurry to leave the Secret Realm.

There were still many good things inside the Secret Realm.

The land, nourished by Dragon Blood for centuries, had given rise to many precious Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

Now that he could roam the Secret Realm unchallenged, he was naturally going to pack up all the Treasures of Heaven and Earth and take them with him.

Who knew if he would ever have another chance to enter.

"Dragon’s Blood Grass! I’ll take it!"

"Dragon Blood Tree! Chop it down and take it!"

"Dragon Scale Flower! Pluck it and take it!"

...

Li Wei was like a bandit, plundering everything in sight, scraping the land three feet deep.

When the members of the Reinstein Clan saw the commotion Li Wei was causing, they kept their distance.

"Don’t you guys think the Armored Man looks a lot like someone?"

"Who?"

"The murderer Grand Mage Tyr was talking about."

The few members of the Reinstein Clan exchanged a look of mutual understanding.

"Kate, you go back and inform Grand Mage Tyr."

"Alright."

They didn’t care whether the Armored Man was the murderer or not.

Right now, they just wanted to use Tyr to get Li Wei killed.

And get their hands on his things.

If Tyr killed Li Wei, the Reinstein Clan might not necessarily get his belongings.

But if they didn’t get Li Wei killed, the Reinstein Clan would definitely get none of it.

The benefits Li Wei had gained were too great.

The Reinstein Clan could no longer sit by and do nothing.

Even if it meant destroying these things, they were unwilling to let Li Wei take them.

They needed to send a message.

No one could take what belonged to the Reinstein Clan.

This was a matter of the Reinstein Clan’s reputation.

If not for the immense power of the Mage Association, the Reinstein Clan would never have agreed to open up the Secret Realm for joint exploration.

Li Wei still had no idea that Tyr was on his way.

After scraping the land clean and collecting all the treasures in the Secret Realm, he prepared to leave.

The members of the Reinstein Clan blocked his path.
