A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 746: Chapter 428: Turmoil and Debate (Part 2)

The Elders’ opinions became divided, making it difficult to reach a consensus for the time being.

However, none of the Elders raised any outrageous and unjust demands, such as executing the Red Iron Dragon.

Furthermore, although a completely unanimous decision was not reached in the short term, the Elders tacitly approved Ovis’s ”protective treatment” measures towards the Red Iron Dragon and did not require him to immediately hand over Galos for imprisonment in the Dragon Domain prison.

After all, Ovis is a Dragon of the Fubo Dragon Domain, one of the most trusted Elders.

Absolute justice and objectivity are often hard to achieve when colleagues and external pressures are involved.

Although each of the Elders present had different thoughts and stances, the overall balance of emotions and interests still leaned toward supporting Ovis.

Ultimately, Old Golden Dragon Ovis stepped forward, his Dragon Claw making a crisp sound on the smooth ground.

He resolutely announced, ”Galos Ignas is the champion of this session of the Five Great Dragon Domains Joint Tournament!”

”Though he bears the bloodline of Evil Dragons and perhaps has faced prejudice and cold eyes from a young age, he still chose to trust the order established by us Metal Dragons, come to participate in the Dragon Domain competition, and won glory through his strength! He is an outstanding junior officially recognized and rewarded by Dragon Domain’s rules!”

”However, this Giant Dragon who came with goodwill has been subject to such unjust and vile treatment!”

”The actions of Sianuo Sheffield are not only a threat to his individual life but also a trampling of Dragon Domain’s rules and our race’s honor!”

”In this matter, we must conduct a thorough investigation to the end!”

”Not only to give Galos justice but also to find out what led a Legendary comrade, who acted in the name of justice, down such an extreme path.”

His words stated undeniable facts and made clear his position and attitude.

At the same time, he shifted the focus from ”the Red Iron Dragon killed the Bronze Dragon” to ”why and how Sianuo attempted murder” and the possible motives behind it.

The slight commotion and opposition caused by differing thoughts subsided for the moment in the grand hall.

The Giant Dragon Elders began to discuss Sianuo’s motives.

”Ovis, you only brought back his shattered remains.”

”What about his Dragon Essence? Given the resilience of a Legendary Dragon Essence, even if the physical body perished, it wouldn’t immediately vanish entirely from the Material Realm; perhaps some information could be gleaned from it.”

”From what I sensed, at the moment of Sianuo’s death, his Dragon Essence disappeared from the Material Realm in an unusual manner, leaving no trace or echo that could be traced.”

”Hmm... He not only respected the great Platinum Dragon God but also seemed to have established some faith connection.”

”Perhaps his piety received a response at the last moment, summoned by the Dragon God to the Divine Kingdom.”

”......”

The Elders engaged in various speculations and discussions.

However, due to a lack of the most crucial direct evidence, all discussions could only remain speculative, ultimately failing to lead to a definitive conclusion.

Throughout the entire discussion process, the Silver Dragon King, who ruled the Fubo Dragon Domain, remained silent.

Meanwhile, far away in the Raging Waves Dragon Domain, significant turmoil was stirred due to this matter.

After Deborah and Vera returned, they wasted no time and immediately reported the news through their family channels.

The Red Silver Dragon family, already bearing goodwill towards Galos from previous interactions, combined with Deborah’s personal experience and the testimony of Plane Dragon Vera, advocated for Galos within the Raging Waves Dragon Domain and strongly condemned Sianuo’s attack as a violation of the ancient honor of the Dragon Race.

However, the Raging Waves Dragon Domain, after all, is the territory governed by the Bronze Dragon King.

It is also the place where the Purification Faction’s ideology is most prevalent, with the most supporters.

Despite the Bronze Dragon King’s lack of direct expression, the Raging Waves Dragon Domain internally witnessed fierce debates and opposition due to this matter.

Soon after, an Ancient Dragon Elder with a prominent position in the Raging Waves Dragon Domain proposed an immediate measure.

They believed the urgent matter was to first send emissaries to the Fubo Dragon Domain to detain the involved Red Iron Dragon and then conduct a face-to-face interrogation to thoroughly investigate the details.

This seemingly reasonable suggestion received support from most Giant Dragons within the Raging Waves Dragon Domain.

Thus, the Raging Waves Dragon Domain quickly used this as a reason to formally request Fubo Dragon Domain, citing ”the deceased belonged to their own Dragon Domain,” to hand over Red Iron Dragon Galos.

However, the Fubo Dragon Domain was unwavering.

One reason is Golden Dragon Elder Ovis witnessed the latter part of the events personally and is directly handling the matter; on the other hand, in this incident, indeed, two Golden Dragons of the Fubo Dragon Domain were dragged in and attacked.

The Fubo Dragon Domain also has the right to investigate and detain the involved parties.

As time went by, corresponding news quickly spread among the Five Great Dragon Domains.

This event, like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, caused ripples and waves that rapidly spread to the Five Great Dragon Domains.

Most Metal Dragons who uphold justice and follow tradition, upon understanding the cause, generally felt Sianuo reaped what he sowed and deserved his fate.

In their view, being a Legendary Metal Dragon but resorting to vile sneak attacks against the non-Legendary Dragon Domain champion, even almost killing several fellow Metal Dragons, was simply too excessive.
