Cultivation Online Chapter 763: Heaven’s Mandate

Chapter 763: Heavens Mandate

After springing up from his bed, the Dragon King looked around in a confused look.

"W-What in the heavens’ name was that killing intent just now?"

The Dragon King was left puzzled when there was nobody in his room.

"Did I have a nightmare because of my stress? I haven’t been able to sleep properly since the Dragon Emperor disappeared, after all..." The Dragon King released a deep sigh.

However, just as the Dragon King laid back down on the bed, he heard a voice resound inside his room, and the voice sounded like it was responding to him.

"No, you’re not dreaming."

The Dragon King’s eyes snapped wide open, and that’s when he saw the old man standing beside his bed.

"Fuck! It’s a ghost!" The Dragon King screamed for his life.

"Ghost? Can a ghost do this?" The old man suddenly released this divine aura that even though the Dragon King has never experienced before, he instinctively as a cultivator knew that this aura belonged to an immortal.

"I-I-Immortal?!"

The Dragon King was even more shocked to learn that he had been woken up by an Immortal than a ghost!

"I am looking for someone. Can you tell me more about this Dragon Emperor that you took to your household not long ago?"

"T-The Dragon Emperor?"

It took awhile for the Dragon King to process the situation, but when he eventually did, he immediately kowtowed on the bed and apologized, "I’m sorry! The Dragon Emperor had disappeared in my home! We have been searching for him nonstop since his disappearance, but we haven’t had any luck!"

The Dragon King mistook the old man as someone the Royal Dragon Family had sent because the Dragon Emperor hasn’t returned to his original home.

"Tell me, why do you call him the ’Dragon Emperor’? And what does he look like?" The old man asked the Dragon King even though he already asked the Fairy Empress, as he wanted to confirm the information.

"Why? He was wearing an authentic pair of Golden Dragon Robes, he had a Dragon Spatial Ring, and he can even use Dragon’s Gaze!" The Dragon King responded.

And he continued, "As for his appearance, he was a young man with long black hair and brown eyes. His face also looked pure and kind."

The old man silently pondered, ’They say he’s a Dragon Emperor, but that’s only because of his treasures. It doesn’t really prove that he’s a Dragon Emperor. Anybody can acquire the Golden Dragon Robe and the Dragon Spatial Ring in the upper heavens if they really try. As for his Dragon’s Gaze... The Master and the Dragon Ancestor were like brothers, it wouldn’t be weird at all if the Dragon Ancestor taught him Dragon’s Gaze.’

"You said this Dragon Emperor suddenly disappeared, is that correct?"

"Yes, that is correct. I left him in one of our guest rooms to rest, and when I went to check on him later, he was already gone."

"And you have no idea where he could have gone?"

"Unfortunately. We have searched everywhere, but we couldn’t find him, almost as though he never existed in the first place"

The Dragon King stopped talking when he suddenly realized the old man had disappeared.

"Eh?"

The Dragon King looked around the room, and to make sure the old man wasn’t hiding somewhere to startle him again, he walked around the room, even checking his closets.

"He’s really gone... Or maybe he was never here in the first place? Was I hallucinating this entire time? Fuck. I really need some rest..." The Dragon King shook his head and went back to bed, quickly falling asleep.

Meanwhile, the old man hovered above the Dragon Royal Family without alerting a single soul there.

"As expected of the Master, you’re a hard one to find. I thought it would be easier this time, but alas..."

"I would like to investigate a little more, but I am out of time. It won’t be long before they arrive."

The old man shook his head and disappeared from the Fifth Heavens the next moment, almost as though he’d never existed.

An hour after the old man disappeared from the Fifth Heaven, the sky suddenly turned golden, and the world became illuminated by this holy light.

A massive hole appeared in the sky once again, but it was much larger than the previous.

The people of the Fifth Heaven were shocked by this scene, but what they witnessed next was completely out of their expectations.

"F-Fairy Empress! Look! There’s so many people descending from the hole in the sky!"

"My eyes are working just fine!" The Fairy Empress frowned at the scene.

In the sky, a thousand figures wearing silver armor and standing in a formation appeared from the gaping hole, and they all emitted a heavenly aura that made people subconsciously revere them.

There was also a person in front of these soldiers, who was clearly leading this thousand-strong army.

This person was holding onto a large flag that had the words ’Heaven’s Mandate’ on it, and when people saw this flag, they all got onto their knees and lowered their heads, almost as though they were afraid to confront this flag.

"Heaven’s Mandate...? What in heavens’ name is the Celestial Emperor’s army doing in the Fifth Heaven...?" The Fairy Empress muttered to herself in a low voice after she recognized the flag.

Even though this is her first time seeing these people, she knew who they were and what they represented at glance. In fact, this was the case for everyone in the Fifth Heaven.

And as the Lord of the Fifth Heaven, the Fairy Empress was obligated to greet them, and that’s exactly what she did after preparing herself.

"Greetings, Heaven’s Mandate. I am the Lord of the Fifth Heaven, Fairy Empress." She bowed to them in a respectful manner.

The man leading the army approached her and spoke in a cold voice, "I am General Li, and I am in charge of the 3rd squad of the Heaven’s Mandate. We have been tasked with capturing a dangerous criminal by the Celestial Emperor himself, and we have sensed his presence in this world not long ago."

"Dangerous criminal?" The Fairy Empress raised her eyebrows, and for whatever reason, the old man appeared in her mind.
