Super Gene Hunting Ground

”Bang!”

Great Dragon Empire Palace, a loud noise echoed, and the palace shook.

The Emperor of Great Dragon slammed his palm onto the nearby tea table, and the jade-made table shattered, along with the ground stones, creating a pit several meters deep.

”This is infuriating! This is infuriating!”

The Emperor of Great Dragon was emotionally charged, his face flushed, his anger surging, causing the space around him to ripple.

With a ”crack,” the throne beneath him shattered instantly.

”Emperor!”

Over a hundred ministers and generals standing in the hall knelt, along with the Eldest Prince Ao Tian, Princess Long Jing, and others.

In front of them was a coffin containing the body of War God.

Jino, his face ashen, knelt beside the War God’s coffin, having just finished narrating the events of the War God’s battle on Purple Source Star with Wildman King and Yang Xiao.

The death of War God deeply stung and angered the Emperor of Great Dragon.

The War God and the Emperor were blood brothers, with a profound bond.

Moreover, War God had always been a banner second only to the Emperor in the Great Dragon Empire, idolized by many.

In the Great Dragon Empire, the Emperor, War God, and the head of the Heavenly Dragon Academy, Long Kui, were recognized as the empire’s three pillars.

Now, with both War God and Long Kui dead, the Great Dragon Empire had become uneasy.

People are prone to anger when uneasy.

Those who command the overall situation are often calm and rarely angered.

The Emperor of Great Dragon scanned the people in the hall and said in a deep voice:

”Yang Xiao on Purple Source Star first unilaterally tore up agreements, reducing our crystal stone allocations, then killed two of my Great Dragon Empire’s pillars, Long Kui and War God, and now has completely stopped our crystal stone allocations.

If my empire cannot avenge these great grievances, then I am indeed unworthy of being the Emperor of the Great Dragon Empire, and I would be ashamed to face the heroic spirits of War God and Long Kui,

I now declare that the Great Dragon Empire publicly declares war on Purple Source Star. All soldiers urgently gather your troops. I will personally go to Purple Source Star to avenge my brothers.”

Long Jing and Ao Tian, among others, trembled inwardly.

Below the hall, over a hundred ministers and generals knelt, everyone filled with grief and indignation.

Although War God was arrogant and domineering, his indomitable bravery and illustrious achievements had earned him an exceptionally high position in the eyes of all.

While mourning War God, there was an unnamable chill growing within everyone’s hearts.

If Long Kui’s death had failed to draw enough attention, the War God’s death truly struck the tense and uneasy chord within everyone.

Why did the former Witch Star overlord repeatedly suffer setbacks and failures on Purple Source Star?

The Emperor of Great Dragon glanced at Jino and said coldly:

”Jino, where were you when War God and Wildman King fought?”

Jino knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and said:

”Emperor, when War God went to Purple Source Star, I had no idea of the situation. He fought with Wildman King by himself, and it was our nearby workers who ran back to Karachi City to inform me. I immediately took five thousand guards with me.”

”You took five thousand guards, why didn’t you join the battle to assist War God?”

”Emperor, at the time War God activated the Ice Sealed Domain. When I rushed in with the guards, over a hundred of them were instantly frozen to death. I couldn’t get through!”

The Emperor of Great Dragon’s face changed.

”Hmph, the Wildman King broke through to Emperor Level Realm, and you didn’t know such important news?”

Upon hearing this, a chill arose from the depths of Jino’s heart, cold sweat pouring out. He said quietly:

”Emperor, I was on Witch Star when Wildman King broke through Emperor Level Realm. I only heard about it after returning, just as I was preparing to report it to you when War God had quietly gone to Purple Source Star and fought with Wildman King.”

”When Yang Xiao fought Dragon Kui last time, he used the Three-star Divine Weapon Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer; did you not know? Why didn’t you report it?”

”Emperor, I truly didn’t know!”

”Hmph! You didn’t know, but I do know. You colluded with Yang Xiao since three years ago, permitting him to develop the mining base in Wildman Valley,

You and your brother-in-law, Xingyun Piaoxue, secretly obtained dozens of mines from Yang Xiao,

Your brother-in-law Xingyun Piaoxue has opened over a dozen brothels and restaurants on Purple Source Star,

Your revenues over the years have exceeded the total gains for decades, am I right?”

”Emperor, I?”

A fear enveloped Jino, causing his whole body to tremble. He raised his head, terrified, looking at the Great Dragon Emperor ahead.

The Emperor of Great Dragon looked at Jino with a ferocious expression.

”What, nothing to say anymore?”

Jino knew that whatever he said now was useless. Despairing, he lowered his head and closed his eyes.

He was just greedy, never having betrayed the empire’s interests, but in today’s situation, he was unable to defend himself,

The Emperor of Great Dragon needed a scapegoat for the continuous defeats.

The Emperor of Great Dragon gritted his teeth and said venomously:

”Were it not for your selfishness, permitting Yang Xiao to develop Wildman Valley’s mines, and allowing the Genetic Store to settle in Wildman Valley’s mining operations, could the Wildman thrive?

Could Yang Xiao, a miner slave, gain power to confront my Great Dragon Empire today?

For your selfish gains, you betrayed the empire’s interests. People like you deserve to die a thousand deaths and have your nine generations obliterated!”

Inwardly, Jino quivered, realizing he was doomed this time.

If he must die, he would become fearless. He hardened his heart, raised his head, and looked up at the Emperor.

”Emperor, indeed I had greed within me. I don’t ask you to pardon me, but I hope you can hear some truths before killing me.”

”Hmph, what is there left to justify? Speak!”

Jino straightened himself, fixating his gaze on the Great Dragon Emperor.

”Emperor, do you recall when the Great Dragon Empire and Flying Leopard Empire were at war, and Youming Empire turned against us, pushing the empire to a dangerous brink? How did we turn crisis to safety later?”

The Emperor of Great Dragon sneered:

”A result of the Eldest Prince Ao Tian’s credit, what has it to do with you?”

”The resolution was because Yang Xiao led the Wildman Tribe to ally with us, together defeating Youming Empire and Flying Leopard Empire’s forces on Purple Source Star, disrupting their crystal stone resource supply,

The Eldest Prince indeed had great credit. However, if it weren’t for my nurturing Yang Xiao and the Wildman Tribe earlier on, would Eldest Prince have triumphed over Youming Empire and Flying Leopard Empire’s alliance army?”

Jino spoke factually; standing nearby, Ao Tian didn’t refute.

The Emperor of Great Dragon scorned, proudly eyeing Jino.

”So what? How do you know the Eldest Prince couldn’t have defeated Youming Empire and Flying Leopard Empire’s alliance army without Yang Xiao’s assistance?”

Jino didn’t argue further with the Emperor. He knew that, now, the Emperor wanted him dead, making any defense futile.

”Emperor, Yang Xiao’s alliance with us initially led to a beneficial new cooperation plan on Witch Star with various empires, and we’ve always been beneficiaries. How did it evolve to direct opposition? Haven’t you considered deeply? Can you truly blame Yang Xiao for everything? Or place all blame on me?”

”Insolent!”

With a roar of anger, the Emperor of Great Dragon raised his palm toward Jino.

A fierce killing aura surged forth.

”Bang!”

Jino’s body was sent flying tens of meters, crashing into the distant hall wall, creating a large hole, and his body passed through the hole, flying dozens of meters further before falling to the ground with a thud, blood spewing from his mouth, life faded away.
