Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1706 Heavily Guarded

"Despite his power, Tobias was too arrogant. It's a terrible idea to fight on the battlefield with suchan ego, which is why he died at my hands. He deserved it," Vivian said proudly.

"Now that Tobias is dead, the people of the Primitive Fief ought to watch out and behavethemselves!" Valeria exclaimed with a snort.

"I don't think so. But in such a short period, they wouldn't dare think it's easy to ruffle our feathers.”Rocky shook his head. They slaughtered a Spiritual Emperor of the Primitive Fief. The fief's peoplewould never let this go easily but they would never dare to act so abruptly either.

"Let's take a day off. We'll be on our way tomorrow!" Vivian ordered.

A few hours later, news spread to the guard team of the Primitive Fief that Vivian killed Tobias. Theywere near the area where the Nether Dragon King's lair was stationed.

"What? Tobias was murdered by Vivian?" This news shocked all of the Spiritual Emperors of thePrimitive Fief.

Tobias’ strength was only second to that of Israel and another high-level Spiritual Emperor in theteam. He was one of their most powerful fighters, so the news of him being killed so easily wasquite unexpected.

"Considering his strength, Tobias would be too difficult to kill for an ordinary warrior. He must haveunderestimated his enemy!" Israel's face darkened at the revelation. The overall strength of hisguards was certainly reduced now that Tobias was dead. Fortunately, they were already near the lairof the Nether Dragon King, so their progress wouldn't be greatly affected. Still, this was a huge lossfor the Primitive Fief.

"These bastards have gone too far. How dare they hurt our people?”

"That's right. We can't tolerate this anymore. I'm willing to lead a group and kill them once and forall!”

"If this news spreads, the others will think the Primitive Fief are all cowards who can't defendthemselves!"

The Spiritual Emperors of the Primitive Fief were greatly displeased and utterly enraged.

"Everyone, calm down. We will undoubtedly have our vengeance. But right now, we're getting closerto the Nether Dragon King's lair. As long as we stay on course and reach it, your mission will becomplete. By then, I won't stop any of you from seeking vengeance. But we must guarantee our safeand smooth arrival at the lair first," Israel declared, reminding them all that their mission was the toppriority.

"Yes, you're right.” None of the Spiritual Emperors dared to object.

Meanwhile, the other two guard teams that were also trying to get closer to the Nether DragonKing's lair received news of Tobias’ death as well.

At the camp of the Purgatory Fief's team, a Spiritual Emperor returned and reported Tobias’ demise.The Godly Genius of the Purgatory Fief was an eighteen-year-old boy named Quentin.

He was the nephew of the Purgatory Fief's leader. Despite his young age, he was especially talentedeven when he was a kid. Not only was he an expert at summoning demons but he was also quitemeticulous and extremely intelligent. In fact, he was so intelligent that he was thought to be thesmartest one among all the nine Godly Geniuses.

"Interesting, isn't it? I didn't expect the Primitive Fief to lose a Spiritual Emperor at the premiumstage so easily,” Quentin brought up with a mocking laugh.

"If the Ghost Fief and the Primitive Fief continue to fight like this, it will be to our advantage,” aSpiritual Emperor shared with a sinister smile plastered across his face.

"It's not that simple. Israel may look careless, but he is very cautious. He must have thought of thesituation you just mentioned, so he'll certainly make a move against the Ghost Fief once the latterarrives at the Nether Dragon King's lair. Since the guard team can't interfere with taming the NetherDragon King, this is a job that should be left solely to a Godly Genius. By then, the guard team'sduty will be to stop any other team that tries to get close to the lair,” Quentin explained with a waveof his hand.

"Then we don't stand a chance, do we?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Entering the Nether Dragon King's lair is no easy feat. But theperson who manages to achieve occupying the entrance to the lair will secure the upper hand,"Quentin added. A hint of deviousness could be seen in his eyes.

"You mean..."

"I'm certain the Primitive Fief will arrive at the entrance first, but it's hard to say who will followthem. Since there currently is a feud between the Primitive Fief and the Ghost Fief, there's no reasonfor us to rush to get to the Nether Dragon King's lair. Why don't we help the Ghost Fief reach thelair quicker? That way, a big battle will ensue between them as soon as they arrive,” Quentinproposed

"Oh, excellent! What an excellent idea!" the Spiritual Emperors exclaimed in awe.

"Make the necessary preparations. We should be ready to set off right away," Quentin ordered.Soon, the guard team of the Purgatory Fief turned around and headed to the joint guard team ofRocky and Valeria.

Three days quickly passed.

After slaughtering Tobias, the joint guard team went on smoothly with little hindrance.

"There are only two days left before we reach the Nether Dragon King's lair..." Meanwhile, in thetent, Vivian, Rocky, Valeria, and the Spiritual Emperors were listening to the reconnaissance team'sreport.

"Very good. But the closer we get to the Nether Dragon King's lair, the more cautious we ought tobe!" Vivian warned everyone.

"Agreed. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly over these past couple of days. We hardlyencountered any trouble along the way," Valeria pointed out. Since the joint guard team wasn't metwith any obstacles, she could now concentrate on recovering. Nearly seventy percent of her injurieshad been healed.

"But don't you replace it strange? The closer we get to the center, the more diabolic beasts weshould've encountered. Yet we saw none..." one of the Spiritual Emperors pointed out immediately."The answer to your question is simple. Someone must've helped us!" In fact, Rocky had alreadythought of this earlier.

"Someone was helping us?" Vivian and the rest looked at Rocky, confused.

"Yes. Someone must have wanted us to arrive at the Nether Dragon King's lair as soon as possible,”Rocky speculated.

"What? But who would be that kind?" Valeria snorted.

"The other Godly Geniuses. They probably want us to fight against the Primitive Fief and takeadvantage of the situation.” Rocky smiled.

"I see.” Vivian immediately understood what he meant.

"Then how do we go about this situation? We can't just let other Godly Geniuses take advantage ofus like this!" Valeria questioned quickly.

"There's no need to do anything at the moment. Now that someone is clearing the way for us, wecan avoid tons of trouble. Isn't it perfect? As for the rest, we'll talk about it once we get to theNether Dragon King's lair. Moreover, we don't have any background on our enemy yet so we can'trisk acting so suddenly either,” Rocky replied with his explanation.

"It's the only way." Valeria agreed with him. The most important thing right now was to arrive at thelair safely first.

With this in mind, the joint guard team continued to move forward for two days before finallyarriving near the Nether Dragon King's lair. They knew that the lair's entrance must have beenguarded by people from the Primitive Fief, so they didn't risk trying to break in. Instead, they founda safe area nearby to set up camp and sent two Spiritual Emperors to the entrance where theywould collect more information about their enemy.

As expected, the two Spiritual Emperors returned not long after and immediately reported, "Theentrance is heavily guarded by guards from the Primitive Fief. An enchanted barrier has been set upas well so that no one can sneak into the lair, not even a fly."
