117: Chapter 117 Dragon Pride

"Are you talking about that legendary Life Forbidden Zone? The one where strength exceeds the Ninth Order but isn't a god?" Mu Cheng asked in shock.

He now had a decent understanding of this world. Although the Heavenly Dao restricted one to the Ninth Order Peak, it only restricted the bloodline.

It wasn't strength... Naturally, even with Ninth Order Peak strength, one would only know who was stronger or weaker after a fight.

Peppa: "It seems you already understand existences beyond the Ninth Order. Indeed, ahead of this ancient city are the Ten Great Life Forbidden Zones."

"Alright then! Anyway, with Dragon Country here, it shouldn't be much of a problem. By the way... why are we here?" Mu Cheng suddenly asked.

After all this effort to come to Dragon Country, he had no idea what the purpose was.

Of course, if it was just to improve his physical body a tiny bit, that could be a reason. But how could things be that simple?

It was impossible to go through so much trouble to come here just for a simple improvement... and nothing more!

"What are you thinking? It really is that simple, and if nothing goes wrong, it will be very smooth," Peppa admitted.

No way? After all that, coming here was just to improve physical strength? No, absolutely impossible, impossible...

"Are you freaking kidding me?" Mu Cheng asked once more to confirm.

Peppa slowly explained, "To be precise, it's to fully awaken the Devouring Bloodline, so there is indeed some difficulty."

"Fine! Since we're already here, as long as I can increase my strength... Also, I'm not familiar with this place. Where are we going next?" Mu Cheng asked, not dwelling on it.

Peppa: "Just wait. Isn't it better to have someone lead the way?"

Mu Cheng instantly understood and didn't ask further, waiting patiently instead...

An entire hour passed, and finally, things over there finished. Sure enough, a man in white armor came up and asked.

"You are the owner of the Devouring Bloodline?" Before Mu Cheng could answer, the man began to introduce himself.

"I am Long Aotian. Just follow me to see the Queen."

"Huh? That simple?" Mu Cheng was dumbfounded; he hadn't even answered yet...

Peppa: "Asking even though you already know, General Long is as humorous as ever."

"I've made a fool of myself, my lord. Please, follow me!" Long Aotian was very polite as he led the way.

From this, Mu Cheng finally figured it out. It turned out Long Aotian knew Peppa.

Someone standing next to Peppa would undoubtedly be the owner of the Devouring Bloodline.

"You... it seems you've underestimated him, right? You can have a fight if you get the chance," Peppa said, seeing through him at a glance.

"I'll pass! The owner of the Devouring Bloodline possesses the Three Greatest Techniques; that would be like kicking a steel plate," Long Aotian was clearly afraid.

Peppa: "You have foresight, but... shouldn't you help out?"

"My lord, my lord... please spare me! Forget about helping; I am a dignified general after all," Long Aotian hurriedly begged for mercy like a child.

"This general is quite interesting... but it makes sense. If he loses, it would definitely disrupt the army's morale and have some impact," Mu Cheng knew this much.

Peppa didn't press further. "Alright, I was just joking with you."

Under Long Aotian's lead, they soon arrived at a modern mansion in the ancient city.

"My lord... I have other matters to attend to." Once Long Aotian brought them there, he instantly vanished without a trace.

"Don't tell me their Queen is a human," Mu Cheng asked in surprise.
