Gods: Starting with the Goblins

.He must ensure Luo Dan's safety, and he must also ensure that the interests of the City Lord's Mansion are not harmed.

"Zhao Tian, ​​you did a good job." The City Lord said in a deep voice, with a hint of appreciation in his tone, "But this matter is beyond your ability. Luo Dan's retreat has caused too much noise, and someone has begun to target him. You must leave here, return to your post, and protect the safety of the City Lord's Mansion."

Zhao Tian's heart sank when he heard this. He knew that the City Lord was right, but he also understood that once he left here, he would never have the chance to learn Luo Dan's fur. He glanced at the closed door, and a trace of reluctance and determination flashed in his eyes.

"City Lord, I understand what you mean." Zhao Tian took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm. "But please allow me to stay for a while. Just a little while. I think I can do something for Lord Luodan."

"No need to be polite," the city lord waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Tian did not need to be too polite. There was a hint of haste and curiosity in his voice that was difficult to conceal. "Just now I was practicing, but was suddenly disturbed by the vibration from here. It was a wonderful feeling, as if it was a call from ancient times, which made me feel relaxed and happy, and a little inexplicably throbbing."

As he spoke, the city lord's eyes became cold and deep, his eyes were like torches, staring at Zhao Tian closely, as if he wanted to penetrate his soul and explore the source of the vibration. "Where exactly does this vibration come from? Do you know?" His voice was low and powerful, not hiding the curiosity and exploration in his eyes at all.

Zhao Tian felt the sharp gaze of the city lord, and his heart couldn't help but shudder, but then he calmed down. He knew that this matter was of great importance and he had to tell the truth. "City Lord, to be honest, this shock came from Lord Luodan's room. I have been here for many days and witnessed Lord Luodan's retreat. The spiritual energy and demonic energy he released intertwined to form an unprecedented powerful force, and it was this force that caused the shock."

The city lord heard this, his face suddenly changed, and a flash of shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes. "Luodan? He... He actually has such a powerful strength?" The city lord's voice trembled slightly, obviously shocked by the news. He knew that Luodan's origin was extraordinary, but he never thought that he could be so powerful.

"Yes, City Lord." Zhao Tian nodded, his tone firm, "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. The aura is so powerful that it is unprecedented. I dare say that even you, the city lord, may not be able to reach that height."

The city lord was silent for a moment, as if digesting this shocking news. He knew that Zhao Tian would not lie, and he understood the seriousness of the matter. If Luo Dan really possesses such a powerful strength, then it is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for the City Lord's Mansion, but it is also a potential threat.

"Could it be that new adult?" The City Lord muttered to himself, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, "Who exactly is he? How could he have such amazing power?"

Zhao Tian looked at the City Lord, and his heart was full of doubts and curiosity. He knew that Luo Dan's identity and strength were probably much more complicated than he imagined. And he, as the guard of the City Lord's Mansion, must be loyal to his duties and guard this secret, and at the same time look forward to following Luo Dan and learning more.

"City Lord, what should we do?" Zhao Tian couldn't help asking, he wanted to know the City Lord's attitude and plan for this matter.

The City Lord took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm and resolute again. "Zhao Tian, ​​you did a good job. I will handle this matter personally. You continue to stay here to ensure the safety of Lord Luo Dan. At the same time, I will strengthen the vigilance of the City Lord's Mansion to prevent any unexpected events."

Zhao Tian nodded, secretly glad in his heart. He knew that with the city lord here, Lord Luodan's safety should be guaranteed. And he will continue to stay here, looking forward to following Luodan to a wider world.

His eyes were full of shock, as if he had seen something incredible, his pupils trembled slightly, and his tone was filled with astonishment that could not be concealed: "What kind of skills is Luodan practicing? This... This is actually the long-lost "Demon Devouring Art" of our demon clan! How is this possible?"

Zhao Tian stood aside, his eyes flickering, thinking secretly in his heart. He actually did not tell the truth completely, and concealed half of the key information. He knew very well how precious and powerful the "Demon Devouring Art" was, and he also understood what kind of commotion and competition would be caused once the news spread. More importantly, he discovered that during Luodan's practice, the overflowing demonic energy could be absorbed, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to improve.

"City Lord, what I just said is true." Zhao Tian's tone was sincere, but there was a subtle cunning in his eyes. "Lord Luo Dan's cultivation did cause a shock. The aura was unprecedentedly strong. But..." He paused deliberately to whet the appetite of the city lord.

"But what?" The city lord asked eagerly. He was full of curiosity and expectation about Luo Dan's cultivation.

Zhao Tian took a deep breath and decided to tell part of the truth, but he still chose to conceal the key part: "But, I found that when Lord Luo Dan was practicing, some demonic energy would overflow. Although these demonic energy are not much, they are extremely pure. For demons like me, it is a great tonic. I... I tried to absorb some and found that it helped my cultivation a lot."

When the city lord heard this, a trace of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes. He is well aware of the preciousness of demonic energy and understands what this means to demon cultivators. However, he did not show his intention immediately, but asked in a deep voice: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? This is a big deal!"

Zhao Tian's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface: "City Lord, I... I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. After all, Master Luo Dan's cultivation situation is too special. If outsiders know about it, I'm afraid it will attract unnecessary trouble." Unnecessary trouble. Moreover, the amount of demonic energy that escaped was not much, I thought it was just an accident, so..."

The city lord looked at Zhao Tian with deep eyes, as if he was weighing something. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Zhao Tian, ​​you did the right thing. This matter really shouldn't be made public. However, since you have discovered this secret, you must make good use of it. You continue to stay here to ensure that Lord Luodan's Safety. At the same time, we should try our best to absorb the overflowing demonic energy and improve our cultivation."

Zhao Tian felt happy, knowing that his selfishness had the tacit approval of the city lord. He bowed respectfully: "Yes, City Lord. I will definitely fulfill my duties and protect Lord Luo Dan, and at the same time, I will work hard to improve my cultivation."

However, Zhao Tian was secretly thinking: Although the amount of demonic energy that escapes each time is not much, as long as he can accumulate more with less, one day he will become powerful enough. By then, even the city lord may not be able to shake his position. This secret he will always keep in his heart and become a stepping stone on his way to power.

"This big shot is really powerful. He has not shown any flaws so far." Zhao Tian stood next to the city lord, his eyes fixed on the room where Luo Dan was practicing in seclusion, his tone was full of awe and admiration, "In fact, the Dragon Clan does have It’s a secret within the Dragon Clan that one can change one’s bloodline by simply modifying one’s body. It’s simply unbelievable to think that this master can do it!”

Upon hearing this, the city lord frowned slightly, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes: "It seems that this gentleman has a very high status in the family, otherwise there is no way to learn these mysterious secrets. The dragon clan has always respected blood, and those who can master it This secret method of changing bloodline is enough to show that his status in the family is extraordinary."

Their expressions did not change, but their hearts were filled with turmoil. When they had contact with Luo Dan before, they had already noticed the extraordinary temperament exuded in his every move. That kind of nobility and majesty seemed to be innate. At this moment, they were even more convinced that Luodan was definitely not a creature in the pool. Maybe he was the heir of the Dragon Clan and would lead the entire Dragon Clan in the future.

"City Lord, we'd better take good care of you." Zhao Tian whispered, his eyes flashing with expectation and desire, "Since you have chosen to practice in seclusion here, you have placed your trust in us. We can't live up to this. Trust us, we must serve you well and let him feel our sincerity and loyalty. Maybe you can help us become real demons and get rid of this embarrassing identity of half human and half demon!"

The city lord nodded, with the same expectation flashing in his eyes: "You are right. Although we are demons, we are discriminated against because of our impure blood. If we can get the favor of the adults, maybe we really have a chance. Change our destiny and become a true demon. At that time, we will no longer be looked down upon by others, but we will be able to stand upright among the demons and stand side by side with those noble dragons."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of longing and expectation for the future. They know that Rodan is the key to changing their destiny and the ladder to a higher realm. Therefore, they became more determined to take good care of Rodan, hoping to win his trust and favor through their own efforts.

Therefore, in the following days, Zhao Tian and the city lord took more care of Luo Dan. Not only did they ensure his safety, they also often sent him various precious cultivation resources and supplements. And Luo Dan has lived up to their expectations. His cultivation is constantly improving, and the aura of the dragon from ancient times is getting stronger and stronger. This made Zhao Tian and the city lord even more convinced that their choice was correct, and Luodan was the key to changing their destiny.

In fact, Luo Dan had already captured the conversation between Zhao Tian and the city lord outside through his keen perception in the secret room where he was practicing in seclusion. He frowned slightly, and his heart was full of doubts. He turned to look at the sword energy floating beside him, shining with a faint light, and asked softly: "Why are these people so eager for the spiritual evil energy? What is this evil energy?" Something very important, but I’ve never heard of it!”

The sword energy trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about how to better explain this problem. After a moment, it spoke slowly, and its voice echoed in Rodan's mind: "This demon clan has gradually weakened and is no longer as glorious as it used to be. They are now facing various challenges and difficulties, and strength has become their most desired Something. Demonic energy, as the foundation of demon cultivation, has naturally become their The object of pursuit. However, they are now targeting you because the aura emanating from you makes them mistakenly believe that you possess a lot of demonic energy. But you don't have to worry too much, as long as you stay vigilant. If you don’t reveal your true identity easily, they won’t dare to attack you easily.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Dan nodded thoughtfully, but then he revealed new doubts: "However, these are not demonic energies of mine at all, but the fusion of spiritual energy and sword intent that naturally arise during my cultivation. These people Will it be okay if I misuse it?”

Jian Qi chuckled, his voice was a bit soothing: "You can rest assured about this. Although they mistakenly think it is demonic energy, in fact, the power generated by your cultivation contains pure sword intent and spiritual energy. For them, although it may not be able to directly improve their cultivation, it will not cause any harm. What's more, it is not so easy for them to absorb this power. Your cultivation and realm are far above theirs. If they want to spy on your secrets, they have to get past you first."

After listening to Jian Qi's words, Luo Dan's doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by a firm belief. He knew that his cultivation path was still long and he would encounter more challenges and tests in the future. But as long as Jian Qi accompanied him and had this pure and powerful power as support, he would have the confidence to face all difficulties and move towards a higher realm.

So Luo Dan closed his eyes again and continued to immerse himself in the world of cultivation. Zhao Tian and the city lord outside were still discussing everything about Luo Dan. What they didn't know was that Luo Dan was already well aware of their conversation and was quietly accumulating strength to prepare for future challenges.

Luo Dan sat in the secret room, surrounded by a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something important. Finally, he couldn't help but speak and said what he was thinking: "Jian Qi, I'm always a little worried. I can convert the demonic energy into my own spiritual energy, which is naturally a good thing for me. But if these people from the demon clan absorb the spiritual energy I converted, won't there be any problem? After all, it was the demonic energy that they regarded as a treasure."

Hearing this, the sword energy trembled slightly and made a crisp sword sound, as if to comfort Luo Dan: "Don't worry, master. Your worries are unnecessary. These people from the demon clan are not of pure demon blood, so their dependence on demonic energy is not that strong. (End of this chapter)
