Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

112 The Sunken City

‘How big is the Sunken City?’ wondered Su Wan. ‘Could it really span fifty kilometers from here?’

Su Wan was still carrying Xu Yuan in her arms because he pretended to be weak from the recent fight.

They explored the ruins. Mud and sand and broken buildings. The place did match the description of the Sunken City from the legends.

No one knew the true name of the Sunken City. No one even knew the name of the empire anymore. People only knew vaguely that the empire had been flooded and sunk overnight.

Su Wan sighed. She suddenly noticed movement in front of her. “The runes on the stone tablets seem alive!”

!!

Su Wan saw an ancient stone tablet in front of her. The runes were not only flickering but also floating on top of the tablet.

“Silence!” said the White Dragon Saint suddenly. He raised his claws and made a shushing gesture for her to be quiet.

He pulled them behind a building to hide. “My Lord, that is the organization’s encrypted information.”

As one of the Twelve Holy Envoys of the Dark Screen, the White Dragon Saint was privy to many secrets of the organization.

The runes in front of him were indeed ancient. However, similar ruins were used by the organization to transmit information.

“I will see if I can decrypt the information that they are trying to send to someone.”

The White Dragon Saint motioned for Xu Yuan and Su Wan to wait there. He then made his way to the Stone Tablet.

The White Dragon Saint waves his hand in a series of motions, and the runes began to spin around him.

The White Dragon Saint read the information in the runes. After a while, the White Dragon Saint let the runes rest.

He walked to Xu Yuan’s side. “My Lord, the runes were indeed created by the organization!”

The White Dragon Saint was also in disbelief. Even as one of the Twelve Holy Envoys, he hadn’t known about this plan.

Fortunately, this information was encrypted, and the encryption method used was something that he could decipher.

The organization had discovered this ancient ruin many years ago.

From the White Dragon Saint, Xu Yuan and Su Wan found out that the Dark Screen knew about this ruin. They had sent people to investigate it. But they had suffered heavy losses.

However, the organization had gained something too. Using the runic stone tablet to encrypt and decipher the secrets of the ancient runes was one of the results of the organization’s research.

According to the runes, the city had three layers. The state of the Sunken City was a little different from what Su Wan had expected. The ancient city was buried layer by layer. The area they were in right now was only the border of the Sunken City. The Dark Screen had only been able to explore up to the third floor.

The lower levels were also very difficult to explore. They had used the runes to pull the Sunken City to the surface.

They were planning to accomplish two things at once. Everyone’s attention would be on the Inter-Campus Tournament, so they could easily carry out their plan to explore.

Also, they could use the Lords to get rid of the ancient souls in the Sunken City.

The White Dragon Saint told them everything he had found out from the runes.

Su Wan remained alert. “These guys are still thinking of using the Inter-Campus Tournament to their advantage!”

Su Wan was looking forward to the final match of the Inter-Campus Tournament even more. However, she now began to realize that the tournament might not be as exciting and fun as she had imagined.

“Is the Dark Screen going to go to such lengths to the extent that they pull out this ancient ruin to attract the attention of everybody?” Su Wan knew about the value and importance of this ruin.

This was not something money could buy. However, Dark Screen was even willing to do something like this!

The White Dragon Saint shook his head. “Willing? Not at all. They did this because they had no other choice.”

The White Dragon Saint told Su Wan that even the Dark Screen wasn’t able to subdue the creatures found in the ruins. The ruins themselves couldn’t be hidden. Since it was going to reappear somewhere else anyway, the top few Holy Envoys might have thought of making good use of it to distract the Lords.

They could use the Lords to get rid of the ancient souls. The Overlord Plane would issue the prompt to the Lords, anyway. By the time the Inter-Campus Tournament neared its end, numerous Lords would be held back in the ruins.

That way, it would be easier for the Dark Screen to implement its plans.

Su Wan took a deep breath after listening to the White Dragon Saint’s explanation. This was all too shocking.

Dark Screen had actually planned everything meticulously. This was an organization with an efficient structure and system.

It was a pity that such a well-structured organization wanted to do evil. No matter how meticulous they were, they still had traitors like the White Dragon Saint.

A spy who leaked all the information about the organization. Now, Xu Yuan and Su Wan knew all about their plans.

“I’ve put in so much effort just for the finals of the Inter-Campus Tournament!”

Su Wan’s small fist clenched tightly.

The finals of the Inter-Campus Tournament would begin in three days. By then, all the plans of the Dark Screen would be revealed.

Su Wan glanced at Xu Yuan. She wanted to see what Xu Yuan thought.

At this moment, Xu Yuan looked around the ruins as though he didn’t care about what the White Dragon Saint said.

Xu Yuan was searching for the Divine Knights.

Su Wan calmed herself and thought more about it. Perhaps the Dark Screen planned to trap everyone here. She definitely couldn’t let them trap Xu Yuan here.

“I don’t want to explore the ruins anymore. I am going back to prepare for the Inter-Campus Tournament!”

Just as Su Wan turned to leave, there was a movement. Green lights approached gradually from the distance,

“Isn’t that the Flower Fairy?”

When Su Wan could finally make out the figure in the light, she realized it was her friend Shi Linglong and her hero, the Flower Fairy.

The Flower Fairy looked terrified. She flew to Su Wan. Behind her, Shi Linglong ran for her life.

A knight in tattered armor pursued them.

The knight looked very strange. The armor he wore had numerous runes printed on the surface. The style of the armor looked very ancient.

Every step the Knight took covered a vast distance as if he was shrinking the distance in real-time!
