"Now, this is a surprising call. Yes, dear? Is there something you need?

"

nShi Wei's tone was full of affection and warmth. Anyone who was to listen to this would've felt like they were put under a hypnotic trance.

nAnd when Shi Wei finished talking, one of her purple crystal orbs sparkled with a shimmering hue. Afterward, a voice that seemingly carried the weight of a God sounded out from the crystal orb.

n

"Wei're, I don't have extra time to spare, so let's get straight to the point. Even though it's been several days since that meeting, Lin'er and Ling'er are still coming to me with deep concerns over Cain and Kali. They at least wish to know how they are specifically doing. After all, it has been days already since they saw the last trace of their children.

"

nThe man who spoke could overturn an entire God Galaxy by just the flip of his palm. No matter where he goes, respect and reverence would only follow.

nFrom just merely the power hidden inside his voice, weaker mortals would have a strong temptation to bow down.

nThis man was none other than the Ancient Dragon Emperor!

nWithin the entire Huang Imperial Palace, his status was the only one equal to the current Dragon God-Emperor.

nIn fact, some even say his status was higher than Dragon God-Emperor. His wisdom, Martial Talent, and personal prowess was something even the Dragon Sovereign Elders could only look up to.

nIf most people within the Imperial Palace had the great luck to even speak with the Ancient Dragon Emperor, their tone would be filled with the utmost respect. His seniority is essentially a God-like status among the Dragons.

nHowever, none of that matters to Shi Wei a single bit.

nShi Wei stayed entirely calming, even smiling to herself for a moment. She only regarded the mighty Ancient Dragon Emperor with the same out of loving affection she showed to all of her direct Family.

nThis is one of the reasons why she has so much control within the Imperial Palace.

nIn the eyes of others, she was the only one who stood as an absolute equal with the Ancient Dragon Emperor.

nIndeed with her influence and status, Shi Wei completely covered for Cain and Kali's disappearance.

nEven if numerous other Dragon Elders or even the Dragon God-Emperor were to question it, they wouldn't look too far in the matter, completely trusting Shi Wei with it.

nDoing things this way was genuinely for the best.

nWith her age and wisdom, Shi Wei could obviously tell of the dire consequences of letting Cain and Kali's supreme Martial Talent be known to the world.

nTheir Martial Talent was so high it even shocked her silly!

nFurthermore, their incomparably pure Dragon Aura alone would be enough to completely outshine their other genius Dragon siblings.

nBut though Shi Wei believed this to be the best decision, it wasn't like she couldn't understand her daughter and son in law concerns. Even she is constantly worried about Cain and Kali despite knowing where they went off to.

nSo with a smooth, sympathetic tone, Shi Wei said,

"They are quite alright, dear. I know it may seem uncertain but remember, this is absolutely good for the little ones. With them training under me, you all honestly have nothing to worry about.

"

n

"Of course, of course.

" The Ancient Dragon Emperor sounded genuine at first, but then his tone turned slightly sarcastic for a moment.

n

"They will be safe until you brazenly decide to put them in da-

"

n

"What was that, dear~?

"

nShi Wei's tone that sounded sweet yet also dangerous sharply cut of the Ancient Dragon Emperor.

nOut of everyone in the Imperial Palace, only she could so rudely and sharply speak to him like this. This relationship was more of an ordinary husband and wife than Emperor and Empress.

nAnd, of course, the Ancient Dragon Emperor knew better than to foolishly continue provoking the beast.

n

"It was nothing….troublesome woman. Look, just don't push them too far. No matter what, they still need to come for the Heavenly Banquet.

"

n

"And you think I don't know that?

" Shi Wei lightly snorted. Her tone then turned mysterious as she said,

"Just relax and tell the others to relax as well. I have everything under control. And when my secret experiment is over, this whole planet will be in for quite the shock.

"

n

"....Alright then. Just at least tell their parents personally as well. It'll put them more at ease.

"

nThe Ancient Dragon Emperor could only relent. He's aware more than anyone of Shi Wei's stubborn attitude. Since she's determined to do it, then nobody could actually stop.

nAlthough, the Ancient Dragon Emperor couldn't suppress the swirls of curiosity.

nJust how could she ever change Cain and Kali?

nConsidering their circumstances, it seemed highly unlikely. But the Ancient Dragon Emperor had no other choice but to wait.

nAfter a few seconds then, the purple crystal orb returned to its original luster.

nLeft all alone, Shi Wei's promptly shut her eyes, returning back to her focus. Though she appeared with the utmost confidence, a lot of things are still left up in the air.

nShi Wei only hoped her precious grandchildren could truly create a miracle.

n….

nHundreds of miles deep within the south side of the Misty Wilderness Tribal Domain.

nTwo lone youths were confidently shuffling through the trees at a swift pace.

nTo any first-level Nascent Formations cultivator, all they would be able to see was a faint afterimage of them.

nWith this kind of speed, Cain and Kali truly felt like they were soaring through the air.

nCain especially felt elated. This intense high speed felt even better than speeding away in a sports car.

nHis shoulder-length black hair wildly danced against the brushing wind, and there was a pleased smile etching across his lips.

nIf moving fast like this was already so exhilarating, Cain couldn't wait to see how it is to fly. At that stage, it would be his first proper step in experiencing complete freedom.

nLike this, Cain and Kali traveled relatively unhindered.

nThere wasn't any other cultivator attempting to impede their path, nor did any vicious beasts wanted to test their luck.

nAfter crossing over a great distance, Cain and Kali soon slowed their speed down. A twinkle glinted within their eyes. They both detected several powerful presences a few miles from them.

nAnd this group was more powerful than the last squadron they destroyed!

nWhen Cain and Kali quickly crossed over several more miles, the sibling duo stopped behind a large tree.

n

"Well, well, these guys are certainly a step above, eh?

"

nKali immediately spoke up when they stopped. Her grin was beginning to morph into crazed excitement once again at the prospect of more challenging battles.

n

"Alright, Cain. Let's not waste even a moment! We'll charge right on in!

" Kali was already prepped up to go. She was just about to step out of the tree when Cain had suddenly grasped her shoulder.

n

"Mn?

"

nKali slightly scrunched up her face but didn't move again. Tossing her gaze over to Cain, she witnessed a pondering expression plastering his face.

nTruly Cain was lost in thought, contemplating their current match-up.

n'One fifth level and one fourth level. Along with several other weaker members. I needed to bring out my Draconic Lightning Aura just so I could overpower that other leader. But who's to say this group won't have better Martial Skills or cultivation arts? They are protecting the Kong Clan's proud son. Surprise is our best element, so maybe we can….'

nCain's eyes suddenly lit up. He's sure there will be many other times where he'll need to use the element of surprise to his advantage.

nAnd since this situation seems a bit complicated, Cain saw it was the perfect time to do a little test run.

nWith his ideas formed, he came back to reality, promptly noticing Kali silently staring at her.

nOnly a few seconds passed since Cain came to this idea. But during this entire time, Kali showed surprising patience.

nConsidering how bloodlust she is, Cain was a bit shock to see her acting so cooperatively. Surely, he expected her to push back a little bit. But it seemed like Kali was at least willing to hold off to wait for him.

nAppreciating this gesture and noting it to the back of his mind, Cain then told her,

"As exciting it would be to go all guns blazing, I think we should take a different approach to this. Let's do….or rather, at least attempt assassination. I'm more than sure that for us to grow, we'll need to use sneaky methods.

"

nThroughout his entire talk, Kali was intently focused on it. So it's why only a second after, she promptly agreed with Cain as a harsh light swirled within her eyes.

n

"So you want to teleport directly inside, huh? This can work too. Though I'm discovering my Will to fight, I also couldn't care less about honoring fights or anything like that. It's kill or be killed, and we Dragons always come out on top!

"

nAfter saying so, Kali grasps Cain's shoulder. It may not be the way she was expecting, but Kali nevertheless retained her excitement. This method of sneaking in is also challenging in its own unique way.

nFurthermore, she also realized they could skip the middle man and jump directly towards the bigger fish.

nWith all this in mind, Kali was more than eager to be sneaky.

nCain as well was eager to get this operation underway. He quickly surged his soul energy, bringing out his Chaotic Emerald.

nIn that instance, Cain grasps Chaos Energy and spreads out his soul sense.

nHis mind almost instantly locked on the strongest presences in the upcoming squadron.

nDetecting their position, Cain felt like this was their lucky day. Out of all odds, both the fifth and fourth levels were together in one place!

nNow, he and Kali can clear away the two strongest simultaneously and then sweep away the whole camp.

nWith his targets locked on, Cain stimulated his Chaos Energy, causing the Chaotic Emerald to brightly sparkle.

nA bright green flashlight up the area for the next split seconds. And when the green light cleared up, Cain and Kali had vanished.
