Chapter 2036: Chapter 2032: The End Has Come

Tang Zhong didn’t know that at the moment he closed the door, the Elder’s body turned to flying ash and scattered.

Tang Zhong had no idea, his attention was entirely drawn to the scroll, pondering what it represented.

And what does the red circle on it mean?

Perhaps because the scroll is so ancient, trying to figure out the meaning of the red circle seems impossible.

He put the scroll away after stepping out.

The implications of this item are immense and cannot be seen by others.

Jing Hong has ulterior motives, and if the other party knows the whereabouts of the scroll, it will surely cause a stir.

The most important thing now is to expose Jing Hong in front of everyone; that’s the way to proceed.

Additionally, the Lost Dragon needs to be found.

Give this item to them.

At present, Tang Zhong is one of the candidates for leadership, so he has his own residence, which the people of the Dragon Realm have already arranged.

The place where Tang Zhong lives is just as shabby as where the other inhabitants of the Dragon Realm reside.

When he arrived, Ling Xing was already waiting for him in the room.

At this moment, Ling Xing was sitting on a chair, gazing out the window, lost in thought. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Tang Zhong was a bit surprised to see Ling Xing because he found it odd; the Princess of the Dragon Realm has returned to the small tribe of the Dragon Realm, she should be hosting a feast, so why has she come to see him now?

This is quite puzzling.

"Why are you here?" Tang Zhong asked.

Ling Xing heard his voice and snapped out of her stupor, looking back at Tang Zhong: "Why? You don’t want me to come?"

"Of course not, I’m actually quite glad you came; I hadn’t expected you to be the Princess of the Dragon Realm," Tang Zhong said with a smile.

To be honest, he genuinely hadn’t anticipated Ling Xing would be a princess, and given such a stature, it seemed reasonable that Tang Zhong should kneel before Ling Xing.

He was merely the Lost Dragon, while the latter was a Princess.

The gap between them was not at all small.

"Princess... I don’t feel like I’m a princess, the country is there, then that’s a princess, but now the country is gone, what does it mean to be a princess?" Ling Xing said in distress.

"But you are still a princess now at least," Tang Zhong said.

Ling Xing smiled softly, saying: "I came to ask you about the leadership matter. Do you really want to become a leader?"

"This... If I said I didn’t want to, I want to go home," Tang Zhong said.

Honestly speaking, he truly just wants to go home.

Because his wife Weiwei is still at home waiting to give birth.

Ten months pregnant, not knowing when the child will be born, whether boy or girl, he is eager to know.

Ling Xing glanced at Tang Zhong: "You want to go back? Are you afraid?"

"If I were afraid, perhaps I wouldn’t have even appeared here," Tang Zhong said. "It’s just that there is someone waiting for me at home now."

"Ah..." Ling Xing was startled.

"Your family?"

"No, it’s my wife," Tang Zhong said.

This time Ling Xing was truly shocked: "You’re married?"

At this moment, she was speaking with a sense of loss in her eyes, seemingly surprised that Tang Zhong was already married.

"Yes, and we already have a child," Tang Zhong said.

"Okay, sorry for disturbing you so late," Ling Xing said hurriedly.

After speaking, she turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," Tang Zhong called out.

Ling Xing turned her head, looked at Tang Zhong: "Is there anything else?"

"Watch out for Jing Hong, he’s not a good person," Tang Zhong said.

"I know that, he indeed isn’t a good person," Ling Xing replied.

"Since you know, why do you still associate with him?" Tang Zhong was very puzzled.

"Do you think I have a choice?" Ling Xing said.

Tang Zhong could hear the helplessness in Ling Xing’s words, and he understood what she meant by them now.

At present in this tribe, Ling Xing counts as a newcomer, while Jing Hong holds a certain amount of prestige.

The incidents happening in the tribe today elucidate everything.

If Jing Hong utters just one word now, Tang Zhong might end up dead.

If not for the Elder fighting for his chance to be a leader, how could Tang Zhong still aspire to be one now?

No matter how strong he is, he would have long been targeted by Jing Hong.

Even if Ling Xing speaks out against Jing Hong being a villain, it won’t change anything.

For those who were chased out of the Dragon Realm, whoever can bring them back is their true king.

After all, since Xue Wuji began his rebellion, the old Dragon Realm no longer exists, and now it’s the era of feudal lords vying for thrones, and people follow whoever is strongest.

"But I really don’t want to see so many people from the Dragon Realm being led by Jing Hong... I wish to see a prosperous Dragon Realm," Ling Xing said.

"It will surely happen," Tang Zhong said. "Come over, I’ll show you something."

He took out the scroll and showed it to Ling Xing.

Ling Xing seeing the scroll, especially the red circle in the center, asked in astonishment: "What is this thing? And what is this red circle?"

Tang Zhong said: "You should know the Sword of the Dragon Emperor."

"I know, it’s the sword of the founder of our Dragon Realm, the Sword of the Dragon Emperor, capable of annihilating all worldly evils. The High Priest once prophesied that the Lost Dragon would return with the Sword of the Dragon Emperor to quell the great calamity of the Dragon Realm," Ling Xing said, her spirit suddenly elevated.

"This thing was given to me by the Elder; he said the scroll records clues to finding the Sword of the Dragon Emperor," Tang Zhong said.

"What?" This time Ling Xing was stunned, regardless of belief, she picked up the scroll and examined it closely, then looked at Tang Zhong: "You are the Lost Dragon, the Elder still handed this thing to you, could it be, you are the one meant to save our Dragon Realm?"

Ling Xing’s pupils widened, she was already in shock, at this moment she truly wanted to grab Tang Zhong’s arm.

"It’s not me..." Tang Zhong said.

"Not you? How is that possible? How can the Elder casually give this to someone? The prophecy says that the Lost Dragon can understand what’s on this scroll, can’t you?" Ling Xing said.

"No, I can’t understand it." Tang Zhong said, "The Elder gave this to me because he felt his end was near, and he might not be able to protect it. If possible, he wanted me to deliver it to the true Lost Dragon."

"The true Lost Dragon." Ling Xing’s mood calmed down.

At this time, she stared at Tang Zhong, still somewhat incredulous.

Disbelieving that the Elder would casually hand over such an item.

Tang Zhong chuckled, saying: "Yes, the true one, I’m not the real one."

"Hmm." Ling Xing said.

And at this moment, suddenly, a sound came from outside.

Someone shouted, "There’s trouble with the Elder, there’s trouble with the Elder."

The voice was very loud.

Tang Zhong instantly furrowed his brow, he rushed out immediately; the Elder having an incident, perhaps the end had come.
