Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 744 Wanting To Go The Holy Dragon Empire

Bryant was influential in the Holy Dragon Empire, and he was a top master at the Immortal Stage.Even the royal family, including the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, had great respect for him.Thus, it was evident that Bryant's appearance was the last thing anyone could have expected.

He was one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire and the leader of the XimenClan. It could even be said that Bryant was qualified to be on an equal footing with the emperor ofthe Holy Dragon Empire. His appearance was quite a shock, as more than one year ago, he went tothe border along with the Sky Army to guard there, and he hadn't been back for over a year.Besides, after Basil spiraled suddenly into madness and cultivated in seclusion to heal himself, hisengagement with Shirley from the Ximen Clan was broken off. As a result, the relationship betweenthe Ximen Clan and the royal family became very tense. Normally, Bryant had no reason to attendBasil's funeral.

However, to everyone's surprise, Bryant had come back from a faraway place just to attend Basil'sfuneral.

Bryant and Shirley walked towards the emperor amid the whispered buzzing of the people aroundthem. When they reached him, they bowed deeply in greeting.

"Why did you come back?" the emperor asked. A year ago, he made an excuse to send Bryant's SkyArmy to a very remote border, so that he could prevent him from investigating the marriage. Andnow, he was somewhat embarrassed to see Bryant, because now that Basil had died, the truth aboutthat matter would finally be revealed.

"I heard that Prince Basil died for our empire, and all people in the empire are mourning for him. Heand Shirley were engaged before, and although he has broken off the engagement, it is only rightthat we should come and attend his funeral,” Bryant responded calmly.

Meanwhile, behind him, Shirley barely stopped herself from rolling her eyes. In the past, Basilsuddenly pretended to be ill and disappeared. As a result, their engagement was broken off, andshe became the laughingstock in people's eyes. Now, even though Basil had become a hero in theHoly Dragon Empire, she was still holding a grudge against him because of what he had done to herin the past. Ever since that happened, she had often dreamed of getting back at him, but she didn'texpect him to die so early. Now that he was dead, she couldn't enact her revenge anymore, and thatwas the only thing that saddened her.

It irked her that Bryant came back to attend Basil's funeral, despite the tension between theirfamilies.

Unmindful of Shirley's vendetta, Bryant burned the incense for Basil, while the eyes of the peoplepresent were fixed on him.

"Shirley..." When he was done, he looked pointedly at Shirley. It was the most subtle thing that hecould do, or else the people present would notice Shirley's attitude.

Of course, the last thing Shirley wanted was to mourn Basil. But in the current situation, she had nochoice but to burn and offer the incense. As she did so, she cursed at him in her mind and thought,"Huh! You are lucky you died so early. Otherwise, I would've killed you myself!’

The grand funeral held for Basil was without any precedent. The people were awed and shocked bythe presence of all the influential people. The most powerful beast tamer of the Wild Spirit Landwho had lived in seclusion and the chiefs of the two powerful spirit manipulator clans in the HolyDragon Empire had come to attend the funeral in person. There were also great generals of theHoly Dragon Empire, like Marcia and Lance, who were also the leaders of the Holy Dragon Empire'sfour army groups. It also inspired envy when several beautiful women in the Holy Dragon Empire,including Marcia, kept vigil for Basil throughout his funeral.

Truly, Basil's funeral was as grand as that of the late emperors of the Holy Dragon Empire. Andalthough Basil was just a prince, he enjoyed such preferential treatment and received such a grandfuneral, which had never happened to any other prince before!

The emperor also personally engraved Basil's name on the stone tablet of the Holy Dragon ImperialTomb. On this tablet, except for Basil's name, the rest of the names belonged to the emperors of theHoly Dragon Empire from previous generations. And the fact that Basil's name was one of them, wasenough to elevate him in the eyes of the future generations.

Since the mourning hall had to be set up for seven days and seven nights, except for the fivewomen who stayed for the funeral wake, the royal family members including the emperor, themilitary officials, and all the other people left the imperial tomb.

"Sabina," a voice called from behind her. When Sabina turned around, she found Elvis and Allencoming over.

Sabina stared at them with narrowed eyes but didn't say a word.

"Allen caught me up about all the past years. I know it's been hard for you. Please, come back withme. I was too stubborn back then, but it's the past. I just want to make it up to you," Elvis said. Hiswords were laced with guilt, but a ray of hope insistently shone beneath.

"I'm not coming back," Sabina answered resolutely.

When he heard this, Elvis's face darkened, and his jaws snapped shut tensely.

"Look, Sabina is tired and grieving, so it is not a good time to talk right now. You can go back first. Ifyou have something to say, you can talk with Sabina after Basil's funeral,” Marcia said as she placedherself between Sabina and Elvis. This time, Elvis had no choice but to look away from Sabina andacknowledge Marcia.

"Thank you for taking care of Sabina and training her so well, General Marcia," Elvis said politely,although it was obvious that it was Sabina that he wanted to talk to.

"You're welcome." Marcia nodded but didn’t move from where she was standing in his way.

At that point, Elvis knew that there was no point in staying anymore, so he just nodded in farewell. "Ihope you can help me persuade Sabina,” he said before he walked away with Allen.

After that, only five women were left in the Holy Dragon Imperial Tomb. They knelt at Basil'smourning hall to keep vigil.

Meanwhile, once the generals and the soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Group learned that Rockywas Prince Basil of the Holy Dragon Empire and that he died for the empire, they all grieved overRocky's death.

He had pretended to betray them and successfully rescued some soldiers, including Thor, and afterthose soldiers returned to the Crimson Dragon Group and learned the bad news, they wereinconsolable. They all blamed themselves for Rocky's death

On the day of Basil's funeral, all the soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Group gathered together in themain camp, and they decided to spend three days fasting to mourn for their fallen Commander inChief.

The news reached the Imperial City after two days, and the emperor and the ministers were movedby their devotion. They didn't expect that Basil would be so revered by the Crimson Dragon Group.On the other side, the empires in the Wild Spirit Land, including the Timber Deity Empire, alsoreceived the news.

Alyssa and Woods were stunned when they learned that Rocky was the prince of the Holy DragonEmpire and that he was dead.

"He died?" Woods murmured almost to himself, as his face was shrouded by darkness. There was astrange glint in his eyes, as he survived only because of Rocky's mercy, and ironically, it was Rockywho had died.

"How did he die? How did this happen?" To say that Alyssa was stunned was an understatement.She finally found the person who was related to her curse seal, but now he was dead. She shook herhead in dismay.

"It must be that man.” A serious look suddenly appeared on Woods's face as if he was rememberingsomething.

"What man? What are you talking about?” Alyssa asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Woods opened his mouth but hesitated at the last second. He believed that since Rockywas dead, it would be useless, even if he knew who killed him. Besides, no one would believe him ifhe told them.

At that moment, Alyssa looked a little absent-minded and restless. She seemed preoccupied for awhile, and then she suddenly spoke firmly as if she had made up her mind, "I'm going to the HolyDragon Empire.”
