The Man’s Decree – Chapter 6161

Jared went on, "The Demon Dragon Lineage won't spare you just because you hide. They and the orthodox dragon bloodline are enemies to the death. That hatred runs through generations. The moment they find your trail, they'll strike, and they won't stop until every last one of you is dead..."

"And the Celestial Palace won't forget you just because you keep your heads down. They've always wanted control over the entire Fourteenth Firmament. They want every possible threat erased. And your Sky Dragon Clan is one of the biggest threats in their eyes, once they find your whereabouts, they'll definitely send forces to wipe you out. When that day comes, even if you stay hidden in Sky Dragon Valley, you still won't escape death."

He rose to his feet and stood with his hands behind his back, looking past the hall and out toward the mountains beyond. "The longer you hide, the more reckless they become, and the more they do whatever they want. Instead of clinging to life in here, trembling through every day, why not step out and live openly?"

"Use the strength of your Sky Dragon Clan to defend your dignity and protect your people. Make the Fourteenth Firmament remember the majesty of the dragon race again. Make everyone who dares bully the Draconians pay a brutal price!"

Roland's whole body jolted. Too much moved across his face at once, something stirred by Jared's words, something held back by caution, the weight of indecision, and beneath all of it, something buried deep that had never truly gone away.
