Chapter 2520 An Old Dragon



Chapter 2520  An Old Dragon

"Fuck." Lin Mu uttered, a few bubbles escaping his mouth.

One of the worse case scenario they had been thinking of had just happened.

Not wanting to lose control over the situation though, Lin Mu calmed himself chanting the sutra in his mind. He quickly assessed the surroundings and realized that his companions were completely unaware of the Flood Dragon's awakening.

'Was it only I that heard it?' Lin Mu wondered.

His immortal sense was already kept spread and the golden cage with the Soul Fragment was mere inches away from him. But even if he wished to quickly take it, he felt a hunch that if he got any closer, he would be attacked immediately.

And while he was confident of surviving, he didn't know what would happen to the Soul Fragment. It would be one thing if it was destroyed too, as that would work in their favor, but if it managed to escape, it would be really bad. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They also didn't know if there were any more measures protecting the golden cage. Wanting to take a gamble, Lin Mu spoke. "Are you awake, Senior?" "Oh? You can actually understand me?" this time he heard the voice again but in a surprised tone.

"I do." Lin Mu replied. "As for your first question, I am here to take the Soul Fragment." He analyzed the situation and decided to be honest with it.

"So you know what it is… Which means I can't let you do it." The Flood Dragon replied, its voice getting harsher. "That thing cannot be freed." He added.

As soon as Lin Mu heard that though, an idea struck in his mind.

"Freed? I don't want to free it." Lin Mu replied quickly making the Flood Dragon confused. "I'm here to destroy it."

"Hah?" The Flood Dragon was amused hearing it. "What makes you think you are qualified to destroy it? If you know what it is, you should also know even a fallen Celestials power is no joke. It would take over you before you even know it." Lin Mu could sense the mocking tone and knew the Flood Dragon simply considered him as an intruder. He didn't even know why he was still talking to him and not taking action right away. "I've destroyed one before, I can do it again." Lin Mu explained. "If you will let me, I'll do it." He tried to appeal to the Flood Dragon.

"How should I believe someone whose walked in here?" the Flood Dragon was not easy to be fooled. "Since you're here, you must've dealt with all the Atlanteans already. Though it is a bit surprising with your tiny army." He added.

Hearing this, Lin Mu was a bit confused, but he didn't miss a major fact here.

'He doesn't know of the time…' he noted.

Thinking for a couple seconds, Lin Mu formulated a way he could use this.

"Are you guarding this Soul Fragment for the Atlanteans Senior?" Lin Mu asked first.

"I am." The Flood Dragon replied.

"But not voluntarily I assume?" Lin Mu said after having seen the murals.

"No." The Flood Dragon answered. "After the Atlanteans restrained me with the golden cage, they imprisoned me here and after a few thousand years, brought the cage again, but this time with a soul fragment as a prisoner.

They ordered me to guard it from anything that might try to take it and if not they would kill me." The old dragon was more chatty than Lin Mu had expected.

Perhaps it was because it had been alone for a very long time and had not talked to anyone, it was not holdings back.

"You don't have to guard it anymore then, Senior. The Atlanteans are long gone and any defenses that were left are destroyed now, too." Lin Mu tried to convince the old dragon. "There isn't anyone to threaten you anymore."

"Hahaha, if it was only that simple." The Flood Dragon laughed. "The Soul Fragment isn't the only thing that is bound to that Golden Cage. My life is bound to the cage as well. If it is opened, I will die too." He revealed.

"But you will die anyways Senior. Your longevity is at its end. Even if we leave now, we can come back later to get it." Lin Mu replied, a calculating expression on his face. "And if you fight, you will die as well whether it be by our hands, or due to your vitality draining it won't matter." He threw a curve ball.

The Flood Dragon couldn't help but think about it and found that Lin Mu was right. No matter what he did, his death was something that would be coming anyways. Seeing that his words were working, Lin Mu decided to go further with his plan.

"What if we can figure out another solution?" Lin Mu asked. "There must be a way to free your life from that golden cage." He added.

"Hmm… If it was me from past it would have worked; I would've managed to hold on for long enough for you to free the restraints. But my vitality is far too low for it to be possible now." The Flood Dragon replied without much care. "Is there no other way?" Lin Mu didn't wish to have a fight here that would be unfavorable to them all. Even if he and others survived, there were bound to be some casualties, which he would like to avoid.

"Haha, youth and their ambitions. Unless you can somehow lift my Bloodline limit, there isn't any other solution." The Flood Dragon laughed at his helplessness.

But for Lin Mu his words were instead the exact thing he wanted.

"That can be arranged." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Do not joke with me, human." The Flood Dragon's tone got harsh again.

In response though Lin Mu chanted for a few seconds, as a strange aura surrounded him, silencing the Dragon.

~SHUA~

Soon, a strange sliver of energy hovered above his palm.

"You… how do you have that?"
