Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 906 - 24: Patience Above All

"Shameless, absolutely shameless! All the credit was snatched by those Saint Dragon Riders, our merit was completely stolen," Luo Pan shouted loudly, incessantly complaining within the Four Symbols City Lord Mansion.

After the Second Prince of Dark Demon escaped, Yue Jinghua tracked him all the way, but ultimately returned without success. To others, she merely stated that the dimension battlefield was too vast.

The Second Prince of Dark Demon had long planned his escape route, making it impossible for her to find his exact whereabouts.

Moreover, with the appearance of the Saint Dragon Riders, Four Symbols City had to abandon the search for the Second Prince of Dark Demon earlier than planned.

Yue Jinghua returned to Four Symbols City and happened to encounter Yue Minzhi and the outraged Dragon Rider Team returning from the battlefield. From their words, she learned the entire process of last night’s raid.

Having learned of the despicable actions of the Saint Dragon Riders, all the soldiers who participated in this battle were infuriated.

"Behind the Saint Dragon Riders is the Holy Beast Family of the entire Moon Plane, we cannot contend with them. A small impatience can ruin great plans; this time, we must endure. While the Saint Dragon Riders have not yet arrived, there is a more important matter to address. How do you plan to deal with Changsun Gongyang?" Bai Sheng, a military veteran with hundreds of years of battle experience on the dimension battlefield, was not surprised by the conduct of the Plane Holy Army.

This battle in Four Symbols City was indeed fought beautifully and will surely spread across several planes soon.

However, unfortunately, the true planner of this victory, Yue Jinghua, had to remain behind the scenes, with all the credit going to the Saint Dragon Riders.

To Bai Sheng’s surprise, Yue Jinghua did not express much anger compared to others who were filled with righteous indignation. After returning from chasing the Second Prince of Dark Demon, she appeared very silent until Bai Sheng mentioned Changsun Gongyang. Only then did she ponder for a moment, "I will handle it."

After the Saint Dragon Riders have cleared up the last remnants of the Dark Demon Army, they will surely come to Four Symbols City.

As a lord of the city and an agent sent by the Holy Beast Clan to the Star Plane, the Holy Dragon Rider Yue Xi will certainly demand to see Changsun Gongyang.

If they do not see Changsun Gongyang, Yue Xi will certainly become suspicious.

Four Symbols City, after the great war, is in a state of disrepair and cannot withstand the wrath of the Saint Dragon Riders.

Therefore, Changsun Gongyang cannot be killed, but if released, with that old green-haired turtle’s narrow-mindedness, he will surely retaliate against Yue Jinghua for her earlier scheming against him.

Hence, releasing him is not an option either. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Thus, dealing with him became a vexing problem.

The dark array imprisoning Changsun Gongyang had always been personally guarded by Qian Luo.

After ordering Qian Luo to withdraw, Yue Jinghua immediately unleashed the Dragon King Domain, locking the space surrounding the dark array, making it impossible for Changsun Gongyang to escape no matter what tricks he tried.

Trapped within the dark array, Changsun Gongyang was forced to reveal his human form, appearing as a lewd, dry, and ugly old man.

"Haha, Yue Jinghua, I told you long ago you would seek my help. How is it now? Isn’t Four Symbols City on the verge of crisis, the Demon Army pushing you to the brink of collapse? I tell you, as long as I, the City Lord, remain hidden, the Holy Beast Clan’s reinforcements will not intervene," Changsun Gongyang stared at Yue Jinghua with disdain, trying to glean something beneficial for himself from her expression.

Since being imprisoned in the dark array, he had attempted to escape, but this peculiar dark array left him clueless.

No one had visited him, and he felt as if he had been forgotten.

Changsun Gongyang initially believed that without him, Four Symbols City would soon fall, but more than ten days had passed with no news. Until today, upon seeing Yue Jinghua enter, he expected to see her frantically distressed or tearfully begging him to take charge, only to find her with an inscrutable expression instead.

Having lived for over ten thousand years, Changsun Gongyang still could not discern anything from Yue Jinghua’s face.

"The Dark Demon Army has been defeated, and the Second Prince of Dark Demon is also dead," Yue Jinghua stated coldly.

"What? Impossible! Four hundred thousand Dark Demon soldiers, how could they be defeated in half a month?! And the Second Prince of Dark Demon, he is a formidable force of the Demon Clan; none of you humans could kill him. I see, it must be the Saint Dragon Riders who came. I knew it, you lowly humans could never withstand the Demon Army, only the noble Holy Beast Clan could subdue the Demon Army. Scared now, aren’t you? Release me quickly, or else the Saint Dragon Rider Lords will turn you lowly humans into battlefield blood mud," hope ignited in Changsun Gongyang’s eyes.

Once the Saint Dragon Riders arrive, they will definitely demand to see him; Yue Jinghua came into the dark array to release him, he believed.

Once he’s out, he will make those human Dark Practitioners who imprisoned him suffer greatly.

Yue Jinghua did not overlook the vile intent flickering in Changsun Gongyang’s eyes.

"Four Symbols City was defended by us. The Saint Dragon Riders you mentioned only emerged at the last moment to reap a ready advantage. They were attacked by the Sea Demon Clan while crossing the Plane Boundary River, suffering losses of more than a hundred men, and only arrived last night. But you did get one thing correct; the Second Prince of Dark Demon was not killed by us," Yue Jinghua sighed silently.

She did not reveal the death of the Second Prince of Dark Demon to the others in Four Symbols City.

In truth, she had found the Second Prince of Dark Demon.

For most, finding a small group of fleeing Demon forces on a vast, directionless dimension battlefield might be difficult.

But for Yue Jinghua, who possessed giant-winged mosquitoes and a considerable amount of Magic Wood, finding a person was not a difficult task.

When the Second Prince of Dark Demon invaded Four Symbols City, she not only set layers of ambushes in the City Lord Mansion but also placed a large number of giant-winged mosquitoes, Shura Rose, and Burning Poison Algae both inside and outside the city.

These were spread widely across the entire dimension battlefield, so any disturbance on the battlefield would immediately be reported to Yue Jinghua.

The Second Prince of Dark Demon was indeed cunning. After fleeing Four Symbols City, he had several of his old subordinates disguise themselves as him, each fleeing in different directions on the battlefield, attempting to confuse Yue Jinghua and the pursuers.

This action did indeed successfully deceive some, such as the Saint Dragon Riders, but not Yue Jinghua.

Yue Jinghua was not fooled; she tracked him with her giant-winged mosquitoes and finally discovered the Second Prince of Dark Demon near the Plane Boundary River around dawn.

However, upon discovering the Second Prince of Dark Demon, she also realized someone else had found him before she did.

Being careful as ever, Yue Jinghua did not reveal herself at that moment; instead, she left a trace of her Spiritual Sense on a giant-winged mosquito and chose a safe place nearby to calmly observe from the sidelines.
