249: Chapter 249 Starting the Heat

"Stop, you bastard!" Long Jiba was getting angry too. His speed didn't slow down at all, his nearly hundred-zhang-sized body carrying a terrifying pressure.

The person blocking the way was clearly also a Saint. Spiritual energy surged from his palm, forming a wall of spiritual energy to block the path.

"Boom!" The two sides collided, the immense pressure shaking the surrounding guards back dozens of zhang.

The figure blocking the way took a dozen steps back before stabilizing his stance.

Long Jiba's body trembled, and he was forced to stop by the collision.

"It's you? Long Xun?!" Only then did he clearly see the person blocking him.

"Heh, so it's Long Jiba? After all these years, you've finally become a Saint..." The youth opposite him smiled coldly. "I thought some outsider was raiding our Giant Dragon Clan!"

"Hmph! Long Xun, you guy is still as hypocritical as ever!" Long Jiba snorted coldly.

The other party clearly saw his situation and wanted to stop him here to make him lose face.

Sure enough, Long Xun shook his head. "Brother Jiba, your prejudice against me remains as deep as ever!"

As he spoke, his face changed to one of surprise. "What's that on your back... is that your friend?"

"Brother Jiba, you should really mind your image. Even if he is your friend, you shouldn't let him ride on your back like that. Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're his mount!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding guards immediately turned their gazes toward Lin Bei and began pointing and whispering.

"As a Saint, being ridden like that is truly a disgrace to the Giant Dragon Clan..."

"Who's to say it isn't? Especially since he's a Tyrannosaurus, a royal family of the Giant Dragon Clan!"

"It's over. If the Tyrannosaurus Clan Chief sees this, he'll probably slap him to death..."

...

Listening to the gossip around him, the Tyrannosaurus's body trembled slightly. "Long Xun, get lost, you bastard!"

The youth opposite him still wore a smile. "Brother Jiba, you should put your friend down first. I'm doing this for your own good!"

"If the elders of the clan see this, even if you managed to break through to become a Saint by chance, I'm afraid they won't let you off lightly..."

"Which one is this?" Just as Long Jiba was about to speak again, a voice came from his back.

"Ol... Old Boss," under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Tyrannosaurus hesitated for half a breath before calling out this title. "This person is a member of the Velociraptor Clan!"

"Dragons of this clan are the most insidious and despicable. They have always coveted the status of my Tyrannosaurus clan and have repeatedly acted against us."

"This person is about the same age as me. From childhood to now, I've beaten him up many times, but a hundred years ago, his grandfather was lucky enough to obtain a Saint-Grade Dragon Grass, allowing him to break through to the Saint-Grade..."

"Ever since then, this guy has been suppressing me in the clan, which is why I've been traveling outside for so many years!"

"Oh!" Lin Bei nodded. "In short, he's a Dragon, right?"

Long Jiba was stunned. He didn't expect that after saying so much, the other party would only summarize it with that one sentence?

The youth opposite, Long Xun, didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

He looked at the Dragon and the human in disbelief. "Old Boss? Brother Jiba, you didn't really become this person's mount, did you?"

"Bang!" A Brick instantly appeared above his head and smashed down fiercely. The area at the city gate shook violently.

Long Xun didn't even have time to scream before his head exploded, leaving only a headless body slumped on the ground.

A white light flashed, and the headless body transformed into a headless Dragon corpse.

The Dragon corpse wasn't as massive as the Tyrannosaurus, only about ten zhang in size.

The sudden turn of events left everyone present trembling, stunned in place.

"Run! They're... they're killing a Dragon!"

"Killing a member of the Giant Dragon Clan in Giant Dragon City?!"

"That... that was a Saint! Just one strike?"

...

Even Long Jiba was stunned and stood there, unable to react for a moment.

Lin Bei turned his head and glanced at him. "What are you still looking at? Set up the pot, heat the oil!"

In the center of Giant Dragon City, a floating palace spanning a thousand zhang was suspended in the air.

At this moment, the Giant Dragon Clan Chief sat at the top of the main hall, with seven Vice Clan Chiefs sitting below in order.

"Clan Chief, you summoned us here, may I ask what the matter is?" One of the Vice Clan Chiefs said respectfully with a face full of smiles.

"I received some news and asked you all here to discuss it together..." A female voice came from above the main hall.

The Giant Dragon Clan Chief was a charming middle-aged woman who still retained her beauty.

However, none of the seven Vice Clan Chiefs sitting below dared to underestimate her.

It was well remembered that three thousand years ago, in a fit of rage, she had torn a Peak Saint Old Ancestor of a hostile race to pieces!

The Tyrannosaurus Clan Old Ancestor, Long Batian, had also given up the idea of challenging her again at that time...

"Clan Chief, could it be that something major has happened?" Long Batian asked in a deep voice.

"If one is not careful, it's a matter concerning the survival of the race!" The middle-aged woman sighed softly.

The expressions of the people below changed immediately. For her to say such a thing was enough to show the seriousness of the matter.

"Clan Chief..." Another Vice Clan Chief was about to speak when the Vice Clan Chief who had been smiling earlier suddenly stood up and looked angrily at Long Batian.

"Long Zhengxin, is there something wrong?" The middle-aged woman frowned.

"Clan Chief, I just received news that an Early Stage Saint junior of my Velociraptor Clan has been... has been killed!"

"What? Such a thing actually happened?" Before anyone else could speak, Long Batian spoke first.

"But! What does that have to do with me? Why are you glaring at me?"

The Velociraptor Clan Chief, Long Zhengxin, was almost twisted with anger.

"It has nothing to do with you? The Cultivator who killed my clansman was brought by someone from your Tyrannosaurus clan!"

"Hmm?" Long Batian was stunned. "Who is it?"

Long Zhengxin's expression was gloomy. "Hmph! The news received so far is only a brief report; the specific process is not yet clear!"

"Since that's the case," the Giant Dragon Clan Chief spoke from above, "the two of you go and handle it. Remember, don't let outsiders see us make a fool of ourselves!"

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

A moment after the two left, the middle-aged woman was about to speak when her body suddenly shook. "Something's not right!"

...

At the city gate, the scent of meat was already wafting everywhere.

A large pot was set up on a fire, and rolling heat waves poured out from the pot, carrying the fragrance into the distance, attracting more onlookers.

"Wow! So fragrant! What are they eating?"

"Hey! This brother really knows how to enjoy himself, eating right on the street!"

"Hey, brother, you got here early, do you know what kind of meat he's boiling? It smells so good, I'll go get some later!"

Some Cultivators who had just been attracted by the scent asked the Cultivators who had been standing there from the beginning with curiosity.

They found that these Cultivators were all stunned, their hands and feet cold, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

A burly man was squatting next to the large pot, constantly using spiritual energy to fuel the fire below.

"That's right, that's right!" Lin Bei directed from the side. "Add more fire, this meat is very tough, it won't be easy to boil until tender!"

Long Jiba was trying his best to fuel the fire, cold sweat already streaming down his back.

A fiend! Is this fiend really planning to eat it?

However, this meat really smells quite good...

If the fiend forces me to eat it, I suppose I'll have to eat a little bit...

While Long Jiba was letting his imagination run wild, a sharp shout came from afar.

"Who dares to cause trouble in Giant Dragon City?"
