Chapter 21: The Price of Enraging the Dragon
Inside the Dragon Treasure Mall, the one-eyed mercenary rushed up to the fourth floor, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, something terrible has happened!"
"What's the panic?" Wei Zheng came down from the fifth floor and immediately saw the post in the one-eyed man's hand, with a large "war" character on it that was particularly eye-catching.
"A challenge? Who would issue us a challenge at this time?"
Wei Zheng was frustrated. He hadn't offended that many people before, so why would anyone want to take advantage of this time to deal with him?
"Who posted the message?" Wei Zheng asked, his brows furrowed.
"It's...it's the Black Dragon." The one-eyed man looked incredulous.
"What? Black Dragon?" Wei Zheng, walking up the stairs, almost tripped when he heard this.
When did Heilong become so poetic? Didn't he usually prefer to come knocking on our door directly?
"Master, what should we do? Should we accept it or not?" One-Eyed asked dejectedly.
If it weren't for the fact that he vaguely remembered the Black Dragon Society member who came, One-Eyed would have started to doubt whether the person who posted the message was actually Black Dragon.
Wei Zheng rolled his eyes at him. "Don't you know what kind of person I am? It's not my style to be so stupid as to run off to fight the Black Dragon."
"Accept? Why should we accept? We can just set up a trap and wait for the black dragon to jump in. We don't need to pay attention to this challenge."
"Ignore it?" One-Eye breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Pavilion Master might have a moment of madness and run off to fight the Black Dragon.
"Then, this challenge?"
Wei Zheng waved his hand and sneered, "Tear him up. Heilong is not worthy of dueling with me."
Hiss! One-Eyed gasped. That's some big talk. He's going to drive Black Dragon crazy.
Uh, no, Black Dragon was already crazy to begin with, but what the Pavilion Master did was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
"Sect Master, then I'll go first..."
"Wait!" Wei Zheng called out to the one-eyed man who was about to get up and leave. At the same time, he recalled what Fu Jiu had said a few hours earlier—as long as the black dragon was constantly provoked, his weakness would naturally emerge when his anger reached its peak.
So simply tearing up the challenge letter doesn't seem enough. In that case, let's add fuel to the fire.
"Are the Black Dragon Society's people still here?"
One-Eyed was momentarily confused, so he could only reply, "Yes, I'm still waiting outside for the Pavilion Master's reply."
"That's good." Wei Zheng's face revealed a strange smile.
As the saying goes, the person who understands you best is often not yourself, but your enemy.
Having known each other for so many years, Wei Zheng understood Heilong's personality perfectly. To provoke him, all he needed to do was...
……
Inside the Black Dragon Society, the Black Dragon leader had a furrowed brow.
Why hasn't the person who delivered the challenge returned yet? Could something have happened to him?
After waiting for ages without seeing a single person, one can imagine the frustration Heilong felt.
He had a premonition that this feud with Wei Zheng might come to an end, which was why he used the formal method of issuing a challenge, intending to have everyone witness him kill Wei Zheng in front of everyone, so as to deter those petty villains.
An hour later, as dawn broke, the underling who had been sent to deliver the challenge to Zhanlong Pavilion finally returned, barely able to support himself against the wall.
But... something seems off about him?
The man's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were rumpled, as if he had been forcibly violated.
"What's going on?" Black Dragon asked, his tone displeased.
"Boss!" The little brother burst into tears the moment he saw Black Dragon.
"Boss, that Wei Zheng from Zhanlong Pavilion is a real scoundrel. I followed your orders to go to Zhanlong Pavilion to deliver a challenge, and everything was fine at first, but not long after, Wei Zheng sent people to detain me and locked me in a dark room."
"But none of that is the main issue. What's even more despicable is that they actually, actually..."
"Speak!" Black Dragon's face turned cold. Anyone could tell that Wei Zheng must have done something that would incur the wrath of both heaven and man.
This person is, after all, his subordinate, and it's not up to Wei Zheng to punish him.
The younger brother clenched his teeth, looking as if he wanted to devour Wei Zheng whole.
"They actually locked the corpses of the two leaders with me, and even said they would drag their bodies out another day to demonstrate the power of the Dragon Slayer Pavilion!"
The younger brother's voice was full of grievance; heaven knows how he got through that night.
That Wei Zheng was simply a demon; he not only locked him in a dark room but also tortured him in various ways.
In that pitch-black space, there was only a dim light, and three figures were hanging below. One of them was him, and the other two were the corpses of Sun Wu and Xie Wen.
Locking him up was bad enough, but they even hung him face-to-face with two corpses, keeping him awake all night, afraid that the two corpses might wake up and bite him.
Black Dragon's face was grim, and several dangerous red glints flashed in his eyes.
Wei Zheng's actions violated his taboos; there were two things that Heilong hated most in his life.
One reason is that they cannot bear to see others being insulted before their death, or being unable to die with dignity.
Secondly, I hate that people use corpses to make a fuss!
Why did he, as the Dragon King in his previous life, hate Wei Zheng so much?
The reason is simple: the Dragon King, a celestial being of the four seas, was of such noble status that he was beheaded by a mere prime minister of a small dynasty. How could he not be furious?
He wouldn't be so angry if the Heavenly Emperor had sent a divine general or a heavenly soldier to kill him.
But Wei Zheng was just an unarmed mortal!
What a humiliation it is that a true dragon who controls endless waters is ultimately killed by a mere mortal!
"Go on!" Black Dragon's tone was icy, his calm voice seemingly suppressing endless rage.
The air around them was a bit cold, and the underling kneeling below shivered.
"Boss, they still... they still..."
The younger brother didn't continue speaking, but instead pulled out a challenge letter that had been torn into several pieces from his pocket, his meaning already self-evident.
"Haha, good!" The black dragon laughed in extreme anger.
Although Heilong was ruthless, he always acted with integrity and never tried to hide his actions when he targeted Wei Zheng.
Others thought he was crazy, but only he knew that it was mostly arrogance.
His pride as the Dragon King wouldn't allow him to let anyone who dared to challenge him escape! Nor would he allow Wei Zheng, who killed him in his previous life, to live a good life!
However, even if he were to execute Wei Zheng, he would do so openly and honestly!
The Li family of Qingshui City has cooperated with the Black Dragon Society on many occasions. Prince Li has also hinted many times that he would help him get rid of Wei Zheng, in exchange for the Black Dragon Society completely submitting to the Li family.
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong person; the Dragon King's arrogance would not allow him to submit to anyone!
Moreover, he didn't need anyone else's help to kill Wei Zheng!
Wei Zheng had become a knot in his heart in both his lives, and only by killing him with his own hands could he further improve his strength.
This is a tragic fate, and also a knot in his heart. Without personally eliminating Wei Zheng, his strength will remain stagnant.
"Wei Zheng, how dare you insult me like this!!"
Black Dragon stood up from his seat with a "whoosh" and drew a two-meter-long cyan dragon-scale sword from behind the seat.
The cold blade gleamed with a chilling light, and the black dragon's eyes were equally cold.
The underlings kneeling on the ground glanced cautiously at their boss, and a chill immediately ran through their bodies, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, since you're so ungrateful, I'll have to come to you in person!"
"However, I wonder if you can afford the price of angering a dragon!!"
