Chapter 1292 Protect Lingtian For Me

“As expected.” The black cloaked individual actually spoke after seeing Qi Long’s domain concept completely neutralizing his domain concept.

After hearing that, Qi Long frowned. “You know me?”

“Qi Long, son of Qi Yaoyang,” said the black cloaked individual calmly. It seemed he knew who he was attacking.

“You know me very well?” Qi Long’s face was completely frozen. The ‘as expected’ said by his opponent made him annoyed.

“Indeed.” The black cloaked individual didn’t deny it.

“Who are you really?” Qi Long stared at his opponent and asked again.

Right as he finished, Qi Long had already attacked. Although he spoke with his opponent to try to get some information from his opponent, he still wished to land a surprise attack.

“That’s not going to work.” The black cloaked individual blocked with his right hand. Qi Long’s domain concept was completely blocked off by the opponent’s domain concept, stopping Qi Long from moving any nearer to him.

“Disappear.” Qi Long erupted with as much domain energy his body could exert. He decided to put his all into this one attack.

Qi Long hadn’t forgotten about Han Jijyun. Although he didn’t see Han Jijyun in the space he was in, Qi Long still believed that Han Jijyun was right beside him. It would be fine if Han Jijyun was outside of this domain. He was just afraid that Han Jijyun had also been attacked. If the enemy could send out a dimension element domain realm master, then the others domain realm masters that came with him weren’t any weaker. Han Jijyun, who was just in the pseudo domain stage, would definitely be in a bad position if he were to face such enemies.

Boss and some of his comrades were already unaccounted for, so he couldn’t accept something happening to his friends in his presence. If that were to happen, he would actually go insane.

Even if he was going to harm himself, he was still going to destroy the opponent’s domain. He wanted to see with his eyes whether Han Jijyun was alright or not.

Bang! The two energies clashed into each other.

The black cloaked individual saw his domain on the verge of shattering because of Qi Long’s burst of domain energy. He couldn’t help but softly say, “This will be troublesome.”

Once the domain shatters, the energy of it would expand outwards. All of the commotion and noises will no longer be able to be cut off by him. If that happened, the entire base would know he was there.

“Ice Age!” The shaking domain was suddenly reinforced by the ice element domain concept, stabilizing it until it was as sturdy as a mountain.

Qi Long looked at the black cloaked individual with shock as he sensed the familiar domain energy.

“B-Bo-Boss…” The feeling of excitement he held in also had a hint of fear. He was afraid that he was wrong, and that this strong domain realm master wasn’t actually Boss. Instead, he might be facing an unknown enemy who had two elements at his disposal.

The black cloaked individual slowly began to take off the hood. In the end, Ling Lan’s expressionless face was seen by Qi Long.

“Boss!” Qi Long’s eyes reddened as he pounced towards Ling Lan. He wanted to hug Boss. He wanted to tell him all of his worries and his excitement.

Bang!

In the next second, Qi Long was completely wrestled to the ground by Ling Lan.

“Qi Long, I’m very disappointed in your performance.” Ling Lan looked at Qi Long coldly. Coming here, she didn’t want to see her friends with faces full of sadness, regret and tears. It could be said that Qi Long and Han Jijyun’s words and behavior on the roof had angered Ling Lan greatly.

“That’s why you can’t leave me Boss. I’m still too weak. I need you to continue to train me,” Qi Long replied shamelessly with an expression of an annoying leech. Just looking at that annoying expression made Ling Lan’s teeth itch.

“Don’t lie to me. I know fully well what you’re capable of.” Ling Lan didn’t believe Qi Long. “Letting you stay with Lingtian is because I trust you can help me.”

“I refuse.” The intelligent Qi Long instantly understood Ling Lan’s words. Boss didn’t even think of taking him with him.

Qi Long understood that Boss could not stay in the Federation for too long, with everyone trying to get a piece of what Ling Xiao left behind. They definitely wouldn’t allow anything to stop them, and if Boss was added to the picture, it would screw over everyone’s plan of snacting Ling Xiao’s assets. Thus, Boss couldn’t stay in the Federation even if he wanted to.

But, he still wanted to leave with Boss. Even if they were to become rogues of the galaxy, he still would do so without any regrets.

“I will come back,” said Ling Lan as she stared into Qi Long’s eyes. “I can’t afford to lose my roots here in the Federation. I trust you, so please help me protect Lingtian.”

Ling Lan’s eyes were filled with trust. It was as if she was saying, ‘Because you are here, being my strongest shield, I can leave without worry and keep on going forward. When I become a king one day and rule the universe, I will come back to the Federation and take my revenge.’

“Boss, I f*cking hate it when you say things like that,” Qi Long suddenly swore. “I will definitely do what you want me to do, but you also need to promise me that you will come back.”

“I, Ling Lan, will never go back on my word.” Ling Lan stood up and looked at Qi Long as she spoke one word at a time.

Her weakness was only temporary. She would soon be the strongest there is and return here. She would pay back a hundredfold for what her father’s enemies had done to her family.

Qi Long stood up with complicated feelings inside him. He thought he would follow Boss until the end of his life. Even if they were to have their own families, their relationship would not change at all. However, he didn’t think that the separation would happen this quickly and that he couldn’t refuse it either.

If it was possible, Qi Long didn’t want to stay in Lingtian. If there was someone who could take up the mantle, he definitely would leave behind Lingtian and go with Boss to the ends of the universe. Unfortunately, that was not possible. Out of all their friends, he was the most suitable for the position of the Lingtian Independent Army’s commander. It was just as his Boss had said. Even if he were to leave the Federation, he shouldn’t lose his roots, otherwise no matter how strong he was out there, he wouldn’t get any help when he returned, rather he would be attacked by the whole Federation. Seeking revenge wasn’t an easy thing at all.

“It’s not as hard as you think out there. However here, it won’t be easy to protect what we have. There will be a gruesome fight soon, and it’ll all be on you,” said Ling Lan after seeing Qi Long’s depressed mood.

After hearing that, Qi Long quickly regained his focus and asked, “Boss, you’re saying you’re going to leave the Federation immediately?”

“I will leave after I see my mother,” replied Ling Lan.

“Boss, you’re worried about Senior Colonel Lan?” Qi Long realized now why his Boss had appeared here. “You want to hide within Lingtian and go to Planet General together?”

“Although this would be very dangerous, this is still my only option.” Ling Lan believed the military headquarters would definitely monitor the Lingtian Independent Army very strictly. That was because she would most likely contact them to return to Lingtian. “After arriving on Planet General, we will leave. You don’t have to find us and just do what you need to do.”

“Us? Is it Luo Lang, Xie Yi and Li Lanfeng?” Qi Long asked in excitement. It seemed that everyone was alright.

Ling Lan was silent. That silence made Qi Long’s smile slowly disappear.

“Who?” Qi Long said painfully.

After a short moment, Qi Long heard a soft voice in his ears, “Xie Yi!”
