Chapter 33: The Sand King Arrives

Sha Ren led a group of ghosts toward the Star-Dream Farm.

“Everyone remember in a bit, you must be well-behaved, and absolutely do not make any moves that would cause Lord White Dragon to misunderstand,” Sha Ren advised repeatedly without fatigue.

“We know, [Sand King],” a ghost with nine sharp horns on its head replied impatiently. “You’ve said this dozens of times along the way.”

Sha Ren let out a silent sigh in his heart, feeling highly restless.

He had followed the white dragon’s instructions, spreading the news of his farm’s opening in the ghost world.

However, he hadn’t notified many, only selecting those who were well-behaved and never caused trouble.

He didn’t dare hide the matter of the Food Seed meat, but he had intentionally exaggerated the white dragon’s strength.

He guessed the white dragon’s strength was around Sequence 2, but he told the ghosts of the terrifying world that the white dragon was a great Calamity Lord of the Sequence 1 level.

Sequence 2 was called Forbidden King, and though Sha Ren didn’t know much about this level, they were already viewed as taboos.

As for Sequence 1, he was even less clear, only knowing they were called Calamity Lords. The only thing he knew was that Calamity Lords were few, even fewer than those great Food Sequence Lords.

In any case, a great existence only one step away from Sequence 0 was definitely far more deterrent than Sequence 2, and would surely terrify those ghosts whom he didn’t know what they might do.

The reason Sha Ren did this was because he didn’t want them to go to the white dragon’s farm. Aside from wanting to hoard the food for himself, he feared these fellows would cause him trouble.

He could see that the white dragon valued humans highly, and if these fellows did something irreversible on the farm, he would surely be implicated.

However, what Yao Yanyi never expected was that the allure of Food Seed meat was too great; even the title of Calamity Lord couldn’t deter these fellows.

At this moment, he looked helplessly at the group behind him, thirty-two in total. The lowest was at the Sequence 5 level, and there were three who were Sequence 4 like him. In human terms, including himself and the white cat, five A-class experts had arrived this time.

He couldn’t help but worry.

‘Aren’t you guys afraid this is a trap, and the white dragon will swallow us all later?’ Sha Ren couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

Sure enough, those who could achieve Sequence 5 weren’t fools.

The credibility of a Calamity Lord was guaranteed anyway, even if this Calamity Lord was deceiving them. But why would he target minor Sequence 4 or Sequence 5 entities? If he wanted to fish, it should be for existences above Sequence 3.

Compared to that, the risk of eating some Food Seed meat was worth taking.

Sha Ren was very depressed; had he known, he would have claimed the white dragon was only at Sequence 3 or Sequence 2, which might have actually startled this group into staying away.

***

At the Star-Dream Farm, the white cat appeared in advance to share the origins of the incoming ghosts with Xi Yu in detail.

Although both he and Sha Ren felt none of these ghosts would dare cause trouble, if one of them had a mental lapse, it would definitely be difficult to handle.

So it was best to notify Lord White Dragon in advance so he could prepare.

“Alright, I understand,” the white dragon nodded. “Have them come from the rear mountain in a bit; don’t let them go to the human residences in the front of the farm in the future.”

These ghosts actually originated from the national grade-S and grade-A forbidden zones.

Xi Yu summoned Augustus over. “You follow the white cat to the rear mountain to welcome the guests.”

“Yes, Lord White Dragon,” Augustus responded respectfully.

“Follow me, I’ll lead the way,” the white cat cast a glance at Augustus, somewhat dismissively; he was too ugly, far from looking as good-looking as Sha Ren.

Augustus was bewildered, always feeling the cat’s gaze was very strange. But suddenly, his vision went dark, and the next moment, he appeared dazed outside the Star-Dream Farm.

Once his daze cleared, he looked around.

A group of monsters was staring at him.

“Is this a Food Seed?” the Nine-Horned Ghost clamored. “It doesn’t look very delicious, but it looks quite robust, can we slaughter it?”

Sha Ren didn’t bother to pay attention to him. “Alright, the farm is almost here, and we agreed in advance: anyone who dares to play tricks, I’ll slice him.”

These words were directed at the three Sequence 4 entities, as those Sequence 5s didn’t dare play tricks before him yet.

Seeing Sha Ren ignore him, the Nine-Horned Ghost was sullen; although he had ignored Sha Ren’s words along the way, he instantly grew tense upon reaching the white dragon’s farm.

The other ghosts weren’t much better, not daring to be careless before an existence suspected to be a Calamity Lord.

Augustus was sweating cold sweat; these ghosts all looked exceptionally terrifying. What shook him was that aside from Sha Ren and the cat, he could actually understand the words spoken by the Nine-Horned Ghost.

And looking at the ghost’s tone, he felt the monster wasn’t joking. If they were elsewhere, he would likely have been torn to pieces by now.

It was too terrifying.

Although he knew there were terrifying entities in this world, this was his first time seeing so many B-class experts, and some even exceeded that level.

Currently, this Nine-Horned Ghost before him far exceeded B-class; he felt a sense of dread.

Aside from them, there truly were such terrifying creatures.

Suddenly, Augustus felt exceptionally relieved; fortunately, he was currently beside the white dragon, which allowed him to know the true face of this world. Otherwise, if these terrifying ghosts manifested one day, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

***

The structure of the outdoor restaurant was very simple, consisting of a wooden roof with a spacious layout.

Below sat rows of stone tables and chairs.

It just so happened that Zhang Qingyuan was present today, so Xi Yu had him personally act as the chef.

Zhang Qingyuan didn’t know how he had turned into a cook, but he quite liked this job.

“Everyone, this is the menu; see what you’d like to eat,” Zhang Qingyuan stood beside Xi Yu calmly, appearing completely composed before the ghosts.

With Xi Yu present, he didn’t feel afraid at all.

“Let me see,” the Nine-Horned Ghost was currently very obedient, accepting the menu cautiously. After looking at it for a while, he handed it to Sha Ren; he couldn’t read it at all. “Sand King, read it.”

Sha Ren couldn’t help but want to laugh seeing his appearance; wasn’t he acting tough along the way? Why was he so obedient now?

But he didn’t ignore him, lest the monster lose his temper and cause trouble.

He read out the menu simply.

The food was the same as what he and the cat had eaten previously, primarily mutated chicken, mutated duck, and various seafood.

He focused on the prices: mutated chicken was thirty pounds of grain per pound, regardless of the species, or one F-class Mutation Essence could be exchanged for thirty pounds of Food Seed meat, and one F-class Soul Essence could be exchanged for thirty-five pounds.

Seafood prices were doubled.

The prices left Sha Ren stunned—not because they were expensive, but because they were far too cheap.

Although the white dragon provided low-grade Food Seed meat, a hundred pounds of meat could absolutely match an F-class Mutation Essence.

Thus, trading an F-class essence for thirty pounds of meat was highly generous.

As a human enthusiast, Sha Ren naturally understood these units.

As soon as he read out the prices, the ghosts were all overjoyed.

The Nine-Horned Ghost was the most boisterous, demanding five hundred pounds of various meats in one breath.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingyuan shuddered. ‘How much?’

Zhang Qingyuan couldn’t handle it alone, and Augustus joined in to help.

With so much meat, it was impossible to cook everything delicately, so a large portion was simply braised directly. As for some ghosts who preferred raw meat, it saved Zhang Qingyuan the effort of cooking, handing it over directly.

He didn’t know where these ghosts had obtained the grain, but the white cat vanished once and returned with all of it; the twenty-one ghosts actually produced seven to eight tons of grain, paying the rest with essences.

The meat Xi Yu had prepared was simply not enough.

When the ghosts actually ate the meat, they were all excited.

They were truly eating Food Seed meat—authentic Food Seed meat.

In the end, the ghosts consumed thousands of pounds of various meats.

Zhang Qingyuan and Augustus were exhausted, and they only felt some relief after calling Gabriel over to help as well.

Fortunately, though the Nine-Horned Ghost clamored loudly, he quickly became obedient when it was time to pay.

As Sha Ren ate the delicious meat, he kept his guard up; as long as the Nine-Horned Ghost and the others were here, he couldn’t relax.

The Nine-Horned Ghost actually hadn’t eaten his fill, but he hadn’t brought much grain today.

As for essences, he truly didn’t have one; in the past, whenever he had essences, he had eaten them himself, so who would keep them on hand? He couldn’t help but reveal a ferocious glint in his eyes, planning to kill a batch of ghosts later to see if he could harvest some essences.

But he quickly abandoned the thought; if he actually did so, it would surely trigger public outrage.

‘So to eat meat, I can only barter with grain?’

‘Can’t I use gold?’

‘I have plenty of gold.’

“Cook, is your Lord White Dragon not here?” the Nine-Horned Ghost looked at Zhang Qingyuan.

‘Here it comes,’ Sha Ren took a deep breath; sure enough, the Nine-Horned Ghost was going to cause trouble. Beside him, the cat’s heart also leaped; if the ghost wanted to harm people, it had to act quickly.

Zhang Qingyuan couldn’t help but glare at him. “Is Lord White Dragon someone you can see whenever you want?!”

The Nine-Horned Ghost was sheepish, not angry at all by Zhang Qingyuan’s attitude.

But he couldn’t help but think: ‘Could I have been deceived by the Sand King? There is no white dragon at all; is he partnering with some human with a special Food Sacrifice ability to trap us? But this doesn’t make sense; he couldn’t possibly partner with humans, and this flaw is too obvious.’

The Nine-Horned Ghost wanted to challenge them; as an A-class, if he had to act submissively before humans, and the white dragon turned out to be fake, where would he put his face in the future?

Aside from the Nine-Horned Ghost, the other two A-classes—one looking like a stream of water, and the other appearing like a wealthy, chubby human—were very low-profile, keeping quiet but keeping their eyes fixed on the Nine-Horned Ghost’s side.

And the other Sequence 5 ghosts were the same, their gazes sweeping over the Nine-Horned Ghost and Zhang Qingyuan.

Gabriel and Augustus gathered their strength, guarding against the Nine-Horned Ghost suddenly attacking Zhang Qingyuan.

“Cook, you misunderstand; I just wanted to ask if there are other payment methods for this pure meat. You also know we don’t grow grain, and we don’t have much stock,” the Nine-Horned Ghost ignored the gazes of the other ghosts; if they wanted him to take the lead, they were dreaming.

At worst, he would beat these fellows up later; who would dare spread the news of today’s events, he would make sure they lost face completely.

Just then, a dazzling white light suddenly bloomed in the sky, and the white dragon looked down at them, a majestic pressure descending upon all the ghosts. “Who wanted to see me?”

Instantly, all the ghosts looked toward the Nine-Horned Ghost.

The Nine-Horned Ghost’s eyes bulged, and he was tongue-tied, wanting to deny it but not daring to.

The white dragon merely looked at him, and he felt a destructive aura press down on his heart. If he dared to make a move, he would absolutely be destroyed in the next second.

“It’s… it’s me,” the Nine-Horned Ghost said with a miserable face; now it seemed the Sand King truly hadn’t deceived them.

He couldn’t determine the white dragon’s true strength, but it was absolutely far beyond Sequence 4, and killing him shouldn’t be difficult.

“Lord White Dragon,” Sha Ren and the cat stepped forward to bow.

“Lord White Dragon,” the other ghosts hurried to follow suit.

Not every ghost could speak the language of the Middle Continent, but their expressions were all exceptionally respectful.

“Mhm,” the white dragon nodded.

It seemed there truly couldn’t be any existences above Sequence 4 currently, and having a few Sequence 4 ghosts was already rare.

This way, he could indeed head to the Dimensional Black Abyss with peace of mind.

But before that, the matter of the pure meat was a hidden danger, and he would resolve it today.

“Lord White Dragon, I’m fine now; I actually just wanted to see you,” the Nine-Horned Ghost lowered his head, appearing a bit dejected. Despite reminding himself repeatedly before coming not to cause trouble, he had still ended up bringing it upon himself.

“Since you are fine, I happen to have something I’d like you to see.”

The white dragon’s voice appeared directly in the minds of the ghosts.

“Next, I’ll take you to a place; do not resist.”

With that, a majestic dragon power instantly wrapped around Sha Ren, the cat, and the others.

The Nine-Horned Ghost and the others were terrified, thinking the white dragon wanted to harm them, but seeing that the Sand King and his partner remained steady, they ultimately didn’t make any aggressive moves.

In truth, they didn’t have much time to hesitate, and in a moment, the white dragon stopped.

They were still on the farm, not far from where they had just eaten.

This was a valley.

And here stood a brick house of decent size.

The white dragon brought them to the door and dropped them, then his body suddenly shrank, and he flew inside the house. “Follow me.”

Sha Ren and the cat followed in first without hesitation.

The Nine-Horned Ghost calmed his beating heart and followed close behind, and soon, the group of ghosts poured into the house.

***

The house wasn’t large, nor was it small.

This was a very ordinary brick house with concrete floors and walls, showing not a single abnormality, but this place was highly inconsistent with the divine dragon’s status.

However, sitting in the center of the room currently were three humans.

The ghosts quickly discovered the abnormality in these three humans’ bodies.

The Sand King and the cat looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock; these three humans were actually in the process of breaking through from C-class to B-class.

They were not unfamiliar with this process, having gone through it themselves; they hadn’t been born as powerful ghosts.

Breaking through to B-class didn’t shock them, even though the number of B-class humans currently wasn’t particularly large. But for three humans to break through simultaneously was highly shocking. It was impossible for these three humans to hold back their breakthroughs just to do it together, right?

But they believed matters wouldn’t be this simple, otherwise the white dragon wouldn’t have brought them here for no reason.

One had to remember that breakthroughs were treated with caution, and most humans hid themselves; how could they break through so openly before others, especially before a group of ghosts?

Vaguely, they seemed to understand the white dragon’s intention, but they felt this was their illusion.

The white dragon was currently hovering in the center of the hall, and even if they had speculations, they didn’t dare speak them, only staring at the three humans.

***

Mu Chengjiang had long since abandoned the idea of breaking through to B-class.

To break through to B-class, both the body and soul had to have a part completely undergo mutation and soul transformation.

His physical mutation wasn’t poor, as his entire left arm had completed mutation. But his soul’s progress was exceptionally slow; let alone completing transformation on a part, he couldn’t even achieve a single point of transformation.

What made him most hopeless was that he didn’t know how to do it, because he couldn’t perceive his soul at all, nor did he know what his soul looked like.

Actually, to complete the soul’s transformation, there was a simpler method: swallowing Soul Essence. As long as there was enough Soul Essence, he could absolutely be piled into B-class.

But Soul Essence was too precious, and it was difficult for an ordinary person to obtain even one, making it impossible to consume them like food; he hadn’t encountered a single Soul Essence over the years.

Mu Chengjiang had truly believed he would remain C-class until he fell in battle, but he hadn’t expected a miracle to occur.

When he saw the divine dragon’s message in the national chat group, his mind went blank for an instant.

He felt this was simply impossible; this was B-class, after all, so how could one break through at will?

The entire Middle Continent only had nine B-class experts on the surface, and including the newly promoted Ding Ren, only ten. This was the accumulation of the Middle Continent over twenty years, and the number of B-class humans worldwide didn’t exceed fifty.

Yet now, the Lord Dragon had said that not only could they break through, but he was confident about letting ten more B-class experts emerge within the year.

For a moment, he didn’t know if he had heard wrong or if the Lord Dragon had made a slip of the tongue.

Regardless, when the Lord Dragon asked if anyone was willing to cooperate with him initially, he had signed up immediately.

This was B-class, after all.

Once he became B-class, he was certain the marine beasts in Zhejiang Province would no longer be a problem. He could kill as many as they had, and he could finally avenge his comrades.

Actually, if it were truly as the Lord Dragon said, with ten people becoming B-class in a year, he didn’t need to be in a hurry, as his turn would come sooner or later.

Thus, he kept himself calm, not allowing himself to get excited.

And he was selected.

At that moment, his mind went completely blank.

He didn’t know what the Lord Dragon saw in him, but regardless, once he came to his senses, he was flooded with ecstatic joy.

He hadn’t shared this news with his children; regarding the dragon’s ability, they had been strictly warned by Chu Luan not to leak it to anyone. Of course, even if permitted, he didn’t plan on saying it, lest he fail to break through and disappoint them.

In any case, when he boarded the Wanmin Vessel sent to fetch him, his heart was filled with unprecedented excitement.

The guards of Weiyang City had initially thought the vessel was delivering meat again, only to find their County Seat was being taken away. No one gave them a specific reason, but his men had red eyes, many reluctant to see him leave.

Mu Chengjiang couldn’t tell them the truth; he could only board the vessel resolutely.

He only knew he absolutely could not fail, otherwise he would let down the Lord Dragon’s opportunity, and let down his men in Weiyang City who held him in their thoughts.

He truly didn’t want to disappoint them.

Upon arriving at the farm, before he could even marvel at the fact that the divine dragon was actually so young and handsome—a far cry from the mature, majestic figure he had imagined—he was directly handed an object to swallow.

Mu Chengjiang had been a bit dazed at the time, thinking he would have to make many preparations, or at least the dragon would advise him on some things, but there was none of that.

Ultimately, Mu Chengjiang could only study the crystal-clear yet soft bead in his hand briefly before swallowing it in one gulp.

He didn’t know what to do next, as the Lord Dragon hadn’t said, but he gritted his teeth and told himself he absolutely could not fail.

However, he quickly had no time to think of these things.

The bead dissolved into a powerful energy the moment it entered his stomach, surging toward every part of his body and being absorbed with ease.

Mu Chengjiang felt his body grow numb and painful almost instantly.

This didn’t affect him, as he prepared himself for greater pain.

But he quickly discovered with shock that not only did the pain not intensify, but his physical mutation—which had been stalled for a long time—actually began to expand at a visible rate. Originally, only his arm had mutated, but now the mutation continued to spread toward his chest.

But what he found most incredible was that in this moment, he finally perceived the existence of his soul. He could clearly feel that his soul’s ear was undergoing transformation.

Mu Chengjiang was in disbelief yet ecstatic.

At this moment, he even wanted to hold his breath, fearing any movement would cause the transformation to fail.

However, everything was remarkably smooth.

It happened in one go, without any accidents.

The danger the Lord Dragon had spoken of didn’t manifest at all.

The energy contained within the bead was far too immense, continuously supporting his body’s mutation.

Finally, his soul’s left ear completely finished its transformation.

At the moment of completion, Mu Chengjiang suddenly felt his left arm and left ear emit a powerful surge of energy that began to wash through his body and soul.

In just a moment, his body grew visibly stronger.

Not only that, but he felt another incredible transformation occurring within his mouth, as if something had grown inside.

After a moment, a thought appeared in his mind.

[Breath Blade: Exhale into blades; your every breath will become a lethal attack.]

Mu Chengjiang’s mind was in a whirl; he had not only broken through, but manifested a superpower?

Unimaginable joy erupted in his heart.

But even at this moment, the bead in his body was still releasing energy.

Naturally, Mu Chengjiang wouldn’t miss this rare opportunity to grow stronger, greedily turning this energy into his own power.

It wasn’t until the final trace of energy fully merged into his body, turning into his own strength, that Mu Chengjiang finally opened his eyes.

Then, he was startled; a massive pile of monsters was staring at him with terrifying eyes, looking as if they wanted to kill him for food.

Mu Chengjiang opened his mouth instinctively, and a breath blade shot out instantly.

No one expected a blade to shoot out from his mouth.

The Nine-Horned Ghost’s mind was currently filled with shock, and then he watched as a blade chopped down toward his head.

Because he was highly confident in his strength, and truly hadn’t reacted in time, he didn’t dodge, and the blade slammed directly onto his head.

As Mu Chengjiang prepared to continue shooting blades, Xi Yu finally stopped him. “City Seat Mu… Governor Mu, no need to be tense; these ghosts are friends.”

The Nine-Horned Ghost reached up to grab the blade on his head in bewilderment, only to grab empty air.

The blade was made of air and had already dispersed.

But he felt a section of his horn had been severed.

He turned his head blankly, and Sha Ren and the others watched as he turned around with the severed horn, unable to help but burst out laughing.

The Nine-Horned Ghost wanted to cry; this blade was a bit powerful, and if it had struck his body, he might have been in trouble.

Xi Yu saw that Mu Chengjiang’s ability didn’t pose a major threat to the Nine-Horned Ghost, so he didn’t intervene further. He looked at Mu Chengjiang with a smile. “Congratulations, Governor Mu, on your breakthrough to B-class, and on manifesting a Food Sacrifice ability.”

“Old Mu, congratulations, congratulations!” Guan Zhang and Miao Hongzhong, who had already finished their breakthroughs, couldn’t help but feel envious. Although they had also successfully broken through to B-class, seeing Mu Chengjiang manifest a superpower was still highly enviable.

“Old Guan, Old Miao, you guys have broken through to B-class too?” Mu Chengjiang didn’t care why so many ghosts were present; with the Lord Dragon here, he felt he had nothing to worry about. Currently, sensing the auras of Guan Zhang and Miao Hongzhong, he was completely filled with shock.

He had originally thought it would be good if one of the three broke through, but he hadn’t expected all three to break through; this was simply too incredible.

“Yes, we’ve all broken through,” the two couldn’t help but say with sigh.

Even though they had been awake for a while, the shock in their hearts was no less than Mu Chengjiang’s.

The Lord Dragon had clearly said there was a risk, but now it seemed there indeed was a risk—the risk of being shocked.

Allowing three people to break through simultaneously in one go was a magnificent power.

In this moment, they couldn’t help but look at Xi Yu, shocked by the divine dragon’s miraculous power.

“Thank you, Lord Dragon, for helping us break through,” the three couldn’t help but feel a surge of tears.

Xi Yu accepted their thanks calmly this time.

“The three of you still need to stabilize your bodies. In a bit, I’ll have Captain Zhang send some food over, and you rest here for a while,” Xi Yu said with a smile.

“Everyone, please follow me.”

Then, the white dragon said a word to the ghosts and flew out of the room.

Sha Ren and the others hurried to follow, but their hearts were far from peaceful.

At this moment, the shock in their hearts was no less than Mu Chengjiang’s.

Allowing three B-class experts to emerge easily with his own power was something they guessed only the Food Sequence Lords could achieve.

But to say the white dragon was a Food Sequence Lord was somewhat unbelievable to them.

Especially for the Nine-Horned Ghost; unlike Sha Ren and his partner who were only marginally related, there was a true Food Sequence Lord standing behind him. Although he didn’t know much about this great existence, he couldn’t imagine such a peerless entity being so approachable, and showing not a single trace of desire to devour them.

He had stood before a Food Sequence Lord and knew their power and terror.

Facing his Lord, he had felt a terrifying sensation of being devoured, as if merely looking at Him would cause him to die.

He felt only heartfelt fear before a Food Sequence Lord, and if possible, he didn’t even want to receive His favor.

And he felt none of this from the white dragon.

Furthermore, the white dragon’s current attitude toward them was far too gentle.

Thus, in this moment, his heart believed implicitly that the white dragon was a Calamity Lord.

Perhaps only such a legendary great existence could possess such powerful abilities without causing them a fatal sense of threat.

“Everyone, you saw what just happened,” the white dragon led the ghosts leisurely through the ranch, and they didn’t dare stop for a single step.

“Lord Dragon!”

Seeing the white dragon appear, the entire farm erupted.

Everyone currently at the farm knew of the divine dragon’s existence.

Furthermore, it had already spread online, though there were still many who found it hard to believe.

But the people at the farm believed it implicitly.

It was just that they had only seen Xi Yu’s human form, so they truly couldn’t imagine such a handsome youth being the legendary, omnipotent divine dragon.

But now they saw him.

Everyone saw him.

“Mother, it’s the dragon! Lord Dragon has truly turned into a dragon!”

Man Wenhuai’s two children shouted as they ran toward the coop, and along the way, many people were startled by their shouts, running toward the gathering crowd.

Hearing her children’s shouts, the items in Ming Yun’s hands fell to the ground instinctively, and she charged toward the children.

Subsequently, led by the children, she also ran toward the crowd.

Soon, she saw him too.

The white dragon was flying in the sky, soaring through the farm.

“Lord Dragon,” Ming Yun couldn’t help but wave at the white dragon, tears running down her face.

She could control herself when seeing Xi Yu’s human form, but now she couldn’t help it at all, tears dripping down continuously.

Their family’s current life was entirely due to the divine dragon.

In just a few days, she had become completely attached to life on the farm.

They had a house that belonged to them completely, they could eat their fill, they ate meat, and they had even eaten seafood.

And this was what true living was.

All of this was due to the Lord Dragon; without him, perhaps they would still be ‘living,’ but living in fear and without hope.

Ming Yun shouted and called out with all her might.

Xiaoqin and Xiaoya were also shouting.

At this moment, many others acted exactly like them; many who had been able to restrain themselves before the human form of Xi Yu could no longer control their emotions before the white dragon.

There was no hypocrisy.

Everyone looked at the dragon with excitement and vigor, without a hint of fear.

Because they knew the Lord Dragon wouldn’t harm them; he would only protect them.

***

The reaction of everyone on the farm shocked Sha Ren, Xiao Bai, and even the Nine-Horned Ghost.

At this moment, they deeply felt the dragon’s prestige among humans.

To them, this wasn’t just prestige.

They even felt that Xi Yu was establishing some connection with humans.

Especially for the Nine-Horned Ghost, who had the deepest connection to a Food Sequence Lord and knew some of their secrets. He couldn’t help but wonder with shock, ‘Could it be that humans are a condition for the white dragon to ascend to a Food Sequence Lord?’

The next moment, the Nine-Horned Ghost was even more shaken, because he realized that if humans were the condition, did this mean the white dragon was about to become a true Food Sequence Lord?

An unprecedented dread grew in his heart.

In this moment, the Nine-Horned Ghost experienced an urge to flee Kun Star at all costs.

Although shocked, the Nine-Horned Ghost didn’t dare reveal any abnormality. He followed cautiously behind the white dragon, his heart filled with unprecedented awe.

Xi Yu naturally didn’t know his actions would cause the ghost to have so many thoughts, but his current purpose was to warn these ghosts of his attitude toward humans.

He waved at the people on the farm, which made them even more excited.

The Shadowless Rat jumped cautiously onto a roof, and seeing the scene before its eyes, its eyes filled with adoration.

With such a great existence, it seemed it would never have to worry about being bullied again.

[Black King of Hades] hid in the crowd, watching the white dragon in the sky, a look of greed/interest appearing in his eyes.

He saw the dragon wave in their direction, and he couldn’t help but wave back.

‘Haha,’ the Black King of Hades laughed in his heart. ‘How could the white dragon be waving at me?’

***

“Everyone, you saw those three humans break through to Sequence 5 just now, didn’t you?” the white dragon looked back at all the ghosts.

“We did,” Sha Ren and the cat led the response.

“Humans call Sequence 5 B-class, and I can allow over a hundred of such B-classes to emerge among humans within a year,” the white dragon said calmly.

Vroom. All the ghosts felt their scalps tingle.

In truth, they didn’t hold the human world in high regard, though there were some Sequence 5 entities among them, and even the Drance Federation possessed those battleships.

But if they wanted to, they were confident they could wipe out the human world.

They just felt there was no need, having no reason to wipe out humans.

Humans weren’t edible, they could farm, and most importantly, they weren’t that strong.

There were only about ten Sequence 5s.

Over the years, not a single one of their peers had died at the hands of humans.

But if humans gained over a hundred Sequence 5s in a year, the situation would be completely different. The thought of a horde of Sequence 5s lunging at them made even the Sand King tremble.

“Indeed, humans are currently unable to contend against the threat of numerous ghosts, but I believe this will soon change,” the white dragon continued. “And for you, you will soon face a choice. Facing the humans who want to reclaim their lost territory, do you plan to go to war with them?”

Even though they were ghosts, a chill rose from their hearts at this moment.

“You can think over my words,” the white dragon gave them a smile. “I have something to do now, and we’ll continue this topic once I’m finished.”

Subsequently, Sha Ren and the others saw the white dragon fly toward the sky.

However, the white dragon’s body grew larger as he flew, to the point where his colossal form eventually blotted out the sky.

Everyone on the Star-Dream Farm was stunned, not knowing why the white dragon had suddenly undergone such a massive change.

Sha Ren and the others were also dumbfounded, and looking at the white dragon traversing the sky, an indescribable fear emerged in their hearts.

What did the white dragon intend to do?
