The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 22. DRAGON GEM

The sun is directly above the head. The daytime heat was as if it rhymed with the atmosphere that was happening right now in the Yan Empire. The Imperial troops had stood neatly lined up wearing battle armor complete with various weapons. The cavalry had sat firmly on their horses.

Emperor Yan had been on standby on his horse. Beside him had stood Yan Zhou and Tang Xiao. They also wear armor. They were currently preparing to head for the Lin Family residence. The traitorous Lin Family did not want to give themselves up just like that.

After that tough and exhausting meeting, the Lin Family decided to fight even in vain. They are so confident in their family's current strength. The Lin Family was indeed the most powerful among the other families. They also have strong supporters behind their families. It was just that they did not know that Tang Xiao was something that no one would ever be able to deal with. Even by the Emperor of Heaven himself.

"All the troops listen up. Today we will destroy the traitors. Make today as an event you get victory after a long time without war. And make this day also a lesson that the traitor will never be forgiven." Emperor Yan spoke encouragingly to his troops.

DESTROY TRAITORS

LIVE EMPEROR YAN, LIVE EMPEROR YAN

The cheers of the hundred thousand troops echoed throughout the Palace. Yan Zhi did not join the battle. He was with Dai Qian waiting in the palace in case anyone invaded the Palace without any knowledge. Tang Xiao did not remain silent. He cast his shadow and hid behind the shadow of Yan Zhi unnoticed by Yan Zhi.

The army also left. Cheers accompanied the trip. Cavalry troops led directly by the Emperor were in the front row.

......................

At the same time at the bottom of the extremely deep South Coast Ocean, Xiao Long sat on the seat of honor. He listened to what the man told him before him.

"Master. We are actually the Gem Dragon tribe. About two million years ago, several Box of Destruction was formed due to a tremendous explosion that occurred in the universe. The explosion was triggered by the collision of five universe materials containing elements of the five laws. The law of time, the law of creation, the law of Destruction, the law of light, and the law of space. The five materials slowly form five Pandora's squares, each of which has one almighty law.

Pandora's box spreads throughout space and triggers a fierce battle throughout the universe to take control of Pandora's box. The battle is inevitable. Various races, tribes, nations attack each other without exception Like the Dragon Jewel. Back then the Dragon God Emperor gathered the entire Dragon race from various worlds and formed the Nine Dragons Alliance. The Dragon Alliance managed to capture Pandora City of Destruction but paid a heavy price. The Dragon God Emperor died at the hands of the Heaven Emperor and the Demon God Emperor. The two of them cooperated and killed the Dragon God Emperor. The Dragon God Emperor had also managed to kill the Demon God Emperor and severely injured the Heaven God Emperor.

With the remnants of his strength, the Dragon God Emperor sealed Pandora's box. Then give the trust to our disembowel in order to bring away Pandora's box with the few remaining Nine Dragons Alliance Members to hide away from the entire universe before another race comes and takes Pandora's Box.

The ancestor then brought the remaining members to this world and hid here until now. With the help of Pandora's Box, we managed to hide our presence from the various races that were eyeing our lives.

The ancestor then named the entire Dragon Alliance into the Gem Dragon Tribe. Before the ancestor died, he got the idea that there would be a race of beings who would take this box. This being is the essence of goodness and light. The ancestor did not know what race would take this box, but he advised. If the one who came to take was a messenger, then this city would give off a bright red glow of light. And if the creature itself takes, then this box will glow golden blue. Ancestors also did not know how this box could recognize the person in its ward. The ancestor also advised, if the creature in question has come then we will serve him. And now several generations have passed but we are still waiting for the prophecy of the forefathers." The old man told a story while occasionally connected to another. They tell me so passionately.

Xiao Long was silent attentively hearing the story. He never expected to encounter something like this. 'It seems like the battle of a hundred years ago has changed the world of this universe a lot.' Inner Xiao Long.

Xiao Long immediately got up and told them to get up, yet they remained unmoved.

"We will not wake up before the master approves of us following the master" they said in unison.

"Haishis.... You guys are stubborn too. Alright, alright. But it's not me you're following but mister Xiao. Because youth is the destiny of this Pandora's Box. And he is the only one who can take care of you."

"Good sir. We also know that master is only a messenger. But since the master is the messenger here then the master is also our master. Only those who are worthy can enter this dimension and take this box. " A middle-aged woman replied while prostrating. Seeing that hat made Xiao Long's heart uneasy.

"Huffftttt okay. On behalf of Mr. Xiao, I represent him in accepting you to serve and will protect you and your entire family forever. But if anyone betrays him, then the torment of Petrhabavana's Hell is appropriate for him." Xiao Long raised his voice until the dimensional room wall shook.

"We follow you as a servant and swear never to betray you. If we betray then the Hell of Petrhabavana deserves us." The entire person bowed three before Xiao Long. They were forbidden to prostrate by Xiao Long.

Xiao Long walked up to Pandora's Box which was behind a thin clear glass but contained a terrible curse. The curse that if held by just anyone, then the whole soul will be sucked into Pandora's Box. While his body will rot into a piece of wood, releasing pus water that is unceasing. While the person was not dead and all that sounded was a heartbreaking scream from his body that had hardened.

Without further ado Xiao Long put his hands into the glass and took out the sealed Pandora's box without any obstruction. Xiao Long scanned the Pandora's box in both hands. It weighed about ten kilos, yet contained an enormous amount of divine energy. And contains a law of terrible destruction. He could understand why people were so infatuated with Pandora's box. He throws the box like a coin. The material of the box was actually made from the meteorite of the universe. But he was unable to see what was in the box even though he had used his Divine Dragon eyes. 'It looks like this box is indeed a match for master. The Divine energy that was inside could be used by the master to raise his level.'

Xiao Long reinserted the Pandora's box in his hand into the glass as if without any obstructions. Then look at those who look on in amazement.

Everyone became even more confident towards Xiao Long after seeing the incident. There was a sense of satisfaction in their hearts after keeping the box for several thousand years, finally meeting the person who deserved to have it. From the first moment I saw Xiao Long there was a sense of familiarity within them as if they were one race, but at the same time there was also a sense of self-sacrifice towards Xiao Long. Something strange yet so real.

"Master... Who exactly are you? Why do we feel familiar yet also feel compelled to crave ourselves before the Master?" The old man who introduced himself as Long Yun asked seriously.

"I.... Is a creature you will never know" After saying so, appearing above Xiao Long's head the silhouette of the Nine Headed Dragon.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
