Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Despite having many questions in their hearts, the Empress and Su Liang continued walking through the City of Burial Dragons.

The people of Zanglong City didn't react much when they saw Su Liang and the Empress. They were far from the emperor and didn't recognize the two of them at all.

However, at that moment, both the Empress and Su Liang's gazes sharpened as they looked into the distance.

The two then quickly headed towards that place, where there were very strong fluctuations of spiritual energy, indicating that something had appeared.

Su Liang and the Empress were incredibly fast, but when they arrived, all that remained was devastation and wailing.

Chapter 528 Black Dragon Chaos, Dragon Slayer List

At this moment, there were still many bloodstains on the ground, and even some mangled limbs.

"What happened? Was it a black dragon or a black serpent?"

When Su Liang and the Empress arrived, Wei Wuyan and her deputy general Sun Yutian also arrived from another direction.

The Empress did not notice Sun Yutian, but Su Liang did.

Because this guy was hiding his cultivation level; his true cultivation level was actually stronger than Wei Wuyan's!

Wei Wuyan is currently at the third level of the Land Immortal realm, while Sun Yutian appears to be only at the first level. However, in reality, this guy is at the peak of the fifth level of the Land Immortal realm, and could even step into the sixth level at any time.

The presence of such a powerful figure here makes him an easy target.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean anything. What if Sun Yutian is just a low-key person and is doing this on purpose?

Moreover, whether a cultivator conceals their cultivation level is a matter of personal choice and should not be over-interpreted.

However, Su Liang was still somewhat puzzled as to why Sun Yutian would do such a thing.

"General, it's a black dragon. These black dragons appeared out of nowhere, killed several people, and then disappeared again."

A guard whose legs had been bitten off spoke in great terror.

These black dragons were already incredibly powerful, yet they managed to appear without anyone noticing.

Even if they were of equal strength, they would still suffer a loss. If they encountered an even more powerful black dragon, they wouldn't even know how they died.

"Your Majesty, shall I, in the name of the Northern Frontier Commander, issue a Dragon-Slaying Order to summon the heroes of the Northern Frontier to jointly destroy the Black Dragon?"

At this moment, Wei Wuyan also began to send a telepathic message to the Empress to inquire.

Upon hearing this, the Empress was initially prepared to refuse, but quickly agreed instead.

The commoners of Burial Dragon City possess powerful bloodlines, but lack cultivation techniques, resulting in their weak strength.

The area surrounding Burial Dragon City has always been a place where the path of the king is difficult to take. As the saying goes, "the emperor is far away and the sky is high," and many local tyrants have emerged.

Bringing these people here serves two purposes: first, to muddy the waters; and second, to make it much harder for the mastermind behind the scenes to make such a meticulously planned, elusive operation.

Secondly, these people can be richly rewarded for slaying dragons and serpents; for every dragon or black dragon killed or wounded, many clues can be discovered.

Thirdly, it can cause these guys and the hidden forces to weaken each other, thus reducing their strength.

This can be described as a three-birds-with-one-stone strategy.

Wei Wuyan originally thought that the Empress would either not agree or not support her much, but she was shocked after the Empress made the promise.

After all, the reward offered by the Empress this time was simply too high.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men!

Even the most bizarre and ferocious black dragons would have to pay a considerable price under such circumstances.

After the Dragon Slayer Ranking was erected in the central square of Dragon Burial City and announced to all forces in the entire Northern Frontier, countless cultivators indeed moved in response!

The 100th to 51st place winners on the Dragon Slayer Ranking will each receive 50 sets of cultivation resources for the Life Palace Realm, 20 sets for the Profound Realm, 5 sets for the Lower Sixth Realm of the Reincarnation Realm, and 1 set for the Upper Sixth Realm of the Reincarnation Realm.

Such a reward is absolutely extravagant. Upon hearing the news, cultivators from other empires surrounding the Northern Frontier immediately sought ways to join the Great Qin and become cultivators of the Great Qin.

After all, only cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty can participate in this Dragon Slaying Ranking.

Fifty portions of cultivation resources for the Life Palace Realm mean that fifty Life Palace Realm elites can be trained, and twenty portions of cultivation resources for the Profound Realm can also train twenty Profound Realm elites.

Then there are the cultivation resources for the sixth realm below the fifth level of the Reincarnation Realm. A cultivator with this level of cultivation is already a pillar of a sect or a family.

As for a cultivation resource for the upper six realms of the Reincarnation Realm, it means that if they can rank between 51st and 100th, then after they pull off this heist, they will never have to worry about cultivation resources for the upper six realms of the Reincarnation Realm again.

Under such circumstances, how could these monks not be excited?

Not only will they not have to worry about their own cultivation resources, but as long as they can enter the top 100, their resources will be enough to develop a cultivation family!

This Dragon-Slaying Ranking is simply...

It's a chance to rise to the top in one step.

Those ranked 21st to 50th on the Dragon Slayer Ranking will receive double the rewards.

The ten cultivators ranked eleventh to twentieth on the Dragon Slayer List will receive triple the rewards.

As for the top ten on the Dragon Slayer Ranking, they are even more terrifying!

The top ten on the Dragon Slayer Ranking will first receive five times the reward, and secondly, they can enter the first floor of the Great Qin Treasury and choose a treasure.

The top three on the Dragon Slayer List will be able to enter the second level of the Great Qin Treasury and choose another supreme treasure.

Even the top-ranked member of the Dragon Slayer List can make a reasonable request to the Empress: their family could receive substantial support, they could obtain a noble title, or they could enter the third level of the Qin Treasure Vault and choose a supreme treasure.

In any case, as long as it is reasonable and the Empress agrees, almost any request can be made within the Qin territory.

After the Dragon Slayer Ranking spread throughout the Northern Frontier, countless cultivators flocked to it, and even cultivators from the surrounding areas rushed over overnight.

Su Liang inwardly praised the Empress's move as extremely clever, as it resolved the trouble and eliminated some potential threats.

Burial Dragon City is located in the mountains, so even after countless cultivators come, it doesn't feel crowded at all. In fact, it directly boosts the economy of this backward place.

After all, these countless cultivators came for various reasons: some to slay dragons and win the championship, while others were simply there for fun and excitement.

With Wei Wuyan and Sun Yutian in charge, no cultivator dared to act recklessly, especially those who wanted to be ranked on the list.

Because once you violate certain rules, you'll be eliminated immediately, and even if you slay the black dragon, it will all be in vain.

Therefore, although more and more cultivators gathered in this place, no disturbances occurred.

After the arrival of many cultivators, Su Liang and the Empress also made a discovery: the target of the mastermind was not just the common people of Burial Dragon City, but anyone with a strong and pure bloodline.

Moreover, even after so many cultivators arrived, the mastermind in the shadows showed no intention of leaving; on the contrary, their activities became even more frequent.

They seemed quite confident in their elusive methods, certain that neither Wei Wuyan, Sun Yutian, nor any other cultivator could capture them.

However, as the saying goes, even the wisest person can make a mistake, and even the most foolish person can have a stroke of genius.

After so many cultivators came to slay the dragon, the black dragon was soon killed.

At this moment, the corpse of a black dragon also appeared in front of Su Liang and the Empress.

This black dragon was enormous, measuring over ten meters in length. Such a colossal creature could not possibly appear and disappear without a trace, even in the mountains.

(My new book, "The Beautiful Girls Who Confessed to Me Are All Inhuman Masters," will be released this week, and the pre-order list is out. You can totally start reading now—finally, it's April, so could you guys give me some votes?)

Chapter 529 Casually Slaying a Dragon

"Pfft!"

As Su Liang pointed his finger, a bloody gash was blasted open on the black dragon's head.

At the same time, a piece of blood jade also floated out.

"what is this?"

Looking at the blood jade in Su Liang's hand, the Empress asked with some curiosity.

"This is part of some kind of teleportation artifact. However, this item is extremely ancient. Even in the Taihao Academy's library, there are only a few words recorded about this ancient evil dragon script."

"These guys are able to use this strange treasure. I don't know if they discovered its use by chance or if they can understand the ancient evil dragon script."

Su Liang had now become interested and understood the secret behind the black dragon and black serpent's elusive appearances.

There is an extremely powerful treasure nearby, which covers most of the surrounding area.

The black dragon and the black serpent can teleport anywhere in this vast area with almost no cost.

Under such circumstances, even though these black dragons and black serpents are enormous, they can quickly escape.

The black dragon was killed because it was misled by a cultivator skilled in illusion. It felt that it was in a safe environment and did not struggle at all when it died.

However, this was due to bad luck and cannot be promoted.

First, not all cultivators are skilled in illusion techniques and illusion arrays. Second, the black dragon may not necessarily enter illusion techniques and illusion arrays. Third, dragons and other demonic beasts have powerful soul forces, so illusion techniques and illusion arrays have very limited effect on them!

However, the gains this time were not small. At least they now understood how these black dragons and black dragons could appear and disappear without a trace in Dragon Burial City or the Dragon Burial Mountain Range.

"Ordinary cultivators might not be able to kill the black dragon and black serpent the moment they escape, but we can. At the very least, we can entangle it and prevent it from escaping. How about we split up and proceed?"

After listening to Su Liang's analysis, the Empress also spoke.

“Yes, our physical bodies and bloodline power are equally tempting. It’s just that when we’re together, the other side might feel that the level of danger is too high, so they don’t dare to make a move. If we separate, they might come looking for us without us even having to look for them.”

After Su Liang finished speaking, he raised his hand, took out a jade talisman, and handed it to the Empress.

"This is the Void Escape Talisman of Taihao Academy. It can instantly teleport within a range of 54,000 miles. If you encounter trouble, you can leave in an instant."

"how about you?"

The Empress's eyes flickered. In fact, within the Great Qin territory, she could control the entire Great Qin Kingdom's power. Her strength was probably no weaker than Su Liang's.

"I don't need it."

Su Liang chuckled, then embraced the Empress, gave her a deep kiss, and the two parted ways.

As more and more cultivators gathered here, more soon succeeded, employing various methods to hunt down the black dragon.

It kept spreading.

At this moment, Su Liang transformed into a noble young man in white, and the Purple Star Spear in his hand turned into a Mountain and River Fan.

Similarly, he successfully obtained a Dragon Slayer Token and participated in the competition.

The principle behind the Dragon Slayer Token is very simple: you get one point for discovering and fighting the Black Flood Dragon, and ten points for discovering and fighting the Black Dragon.

If you injure the black dragon, you get 10 points; if you injure the black dragon, you get 100 points.

Severely injuring or even killing the Black Dragon earns 100 points; severely injuring or even killing the Black Dragon earns 1,000 points.

Of course, these are the most common calculation methods. Based on previous clues, it can also be deduced that the Black Dragon King may exist.

The reward is naturally ten times that of a regular black dragon!
