âAudacious! The lot of you are unspeakably brazen!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe Dragon Vein Source belongs to our Dragon Clan, but you actually colluded with one another to steal all of its power and transfer it into Long Xiaoxiaoâs body! What difference are your actions from plundering? You dared to do it so openly in broad daylight, robbing our Dragon Clan of our fortuitous encounter right before our eyes!
âHusband, we cannot forgive such vile actions! We mustnât tolerate it! Long Xiaoxiao has colluded with these two to take the power of the Dragon Vein Source for her own. We must have her executed for this!â Long Mumuâs mother exclaimed furiously.
âThis madam over here, what in the world are you talking about? Are you implying that Long Xiaoxiao isnât a member of your Dragon Clan?â the Ox-nosed Old Daoist asked.
âSheâs a member of our Dragon Clan, but she shouldnât have taken all the power of the Dragon Vein Source for her own. Such selfish actions make her unqualified to be considered as one of us!â Long Mumuâs mother replied sharply.
âMay I ask you who told you that the power of the Dragon Vein Source would be shared equally to everyone in the Dragon Clan? You donât even know when and how the Dragon Vein Source could be opened, and yet, you dare to mumble all of this nonsense right before me?
âIn my view, it looks like youâre just throwing a tantrum because you failed to obtain the power of the Dragon Vein Source for yourself. If thereâs anyone who is greedy here, it would not be me or Princess Xiaoxiao, but you, shrew!â
On top of insulting Long Mumuâs mother, the Ox-nosed Old Daoist even spat on the ground. There was no need for any words to explain the disdain he felt toward her.
âYouâre calling me a shrew? You, Ox-nose, dare to call me a shrew? Iâll take your life!â
Long Mumuâs mother flew into a rage and released her oppressive might.
Despite being a madam, she was actually a powerful rank one Martial Exalted-level expert!
âAudacious!â
But at this instant, a furious shout sounded in the air.
Following that, an incredibly powerful aura enveloped the entire area.
As soon as the aura surfaced, Chu Feng suddenly felt a formidable pressure crushing down on him. It felt like as long as the other party willed it, the world could be shattered at his whim, and all of them would die.
It was from the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
The strongest expert of the Dragon Clan had made his move at this moment.
He chose to release his oppressive might only for a brief moment as a warning toward Long Mumuâs mother.
âHusband, I...â
It was visible that Long Mumuâs mother was very fearful of the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief. She quickly retracted her oppressive might and lowered her head.
After warning Long Mumuâs mother, the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief didnât say anything to the Ox-nosed Old Daoist. Instead, he turned to Long Xiaoxiao and asked, âXiaoxiao, is the power of the Dragon Vein Source really within your body?â
âLord Father, itâs indeed within my body,â Long Xiaoxiao replied.
âAllow me to take a look.â
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief grabbed Long Xiaoxiaoâs wrist in order to have a look at the energy in her body.
But the more he looked at it, the tighter his frown became.
Slowly, his complexion grew more and more awful. With an awfully forbidding voice, he asked Long Xiaoxiao, âAre you certain that the power of the Dragon Vein Source is within your body?â
âLord Father, the energy in my body right now is none other than that from the Dragon Vein Source,â Long Xiaoxiao replied.
âAudacious!â
But who could have thought that the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief would fling his sleeves backward and toss the already feeble Long Xiaoxiao to the floor.
âWhat are you doing?â
Chu Feng quickly rushed forward to help Long Xiaoxiao up.
âLord Clan Chief, this...â
The Supreme Elders of the Dragon Clan also looked at Long Xiaoxiao with a pained look on their faces, almost as if they were the ones who were being flung to the ground.
Of course, the thing that they were truly worried about was actually the Dragon Vein Source.
After all, the Ox-nosed Old Daoist had already said that the Dragon Vein Source was now within Long Xiaoxiaoâs body, and its existence had become tied to Long Xiaoxiaoâs fate.
âHer body doesnât have the power of the Dragon Vein Source,â the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said.
âIt isnât in her body?â
Hearing those words, the Supreme Elders quickly made their way forward to take a look at the state within Long Xiaoxiaoâs body through their own methods.
In fact, even Long Mumuâs mother stepped forward to give it a try.
A great joy burst through in the heart of Long Mumuâs mother a moment later.
Just like the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief had said, there was no power of the Dragon Vein Source inside Long Xiaoxiaoâs body at all.
Pah!
Without any hesitation, Long Mumuâs mother struck a resounding slap on Long Xiaoxiaoâs face.
Her slap not only sent Long Xiaoxiao tumbling to the ground, but it even distorted her exquisite little face. It caused her cheek to bend slightly out of shape, and blood splattered all over the ground.
But even when Long Xiaoxiao was struck to this extent, the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief spoke nary a word at all. Even the Supreme Elders turned a blind eye to her plight.
Chu Feng wanted to help Long Xiaoxiao, but he was simply not strong enough. By the time he reacted, Long Xiaoxiaoâs body was already struck right back to where he was.
However, every single one of these Supreme Elders here possessed exceptional strength. If they wanted to stop Long Mumuâs mother, they could have very well done so before the latter could even strike Long Xiaoxiaoâs face.
A crimson glint of fury flashed across Chu Fengâs eyes as he rushed over to Long Xiaoxiaoâs side and diagnosed her injuries. Only then did he turn to Long Mumuâs mother and bellow, âWhat do you think you are doing?!â
âWhat am I doing? Iâm teaching this traitor a lesson! Despite being a member of our Dragon Clan, she colluded with outsiders in order to deceive our clan members. She deserves to be killed!â Long Mumuâs mother said.
âXiaoxiao, you have really let your father down this time around.â
Long Duan and the other Supreme Elders also criticized Long Xiaoxiao one after another.
Seeing this situation, Chu Feng seemed to have realized something. He quickly grabbed Long Xiaoxiaoâs wrist to diagnose her.
It was then that she realized that Long Xiaoxiaoâs body really contained no energy at all.
It was as if her current feeble state was her normal state. Putting aside the powerful energy of the Dragon Vein Source, it felt like she didnât have a sliver of energy within her at all.
âMaster.â
Unable to understand this, Chu Feng turned to the Ox-nosed Old Daoist with a questioning look, hoping to get an answer from him.
But before the Ox-nosed Old Daoist could reply, the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief had already spoken up. âGrandmaster, you have really let down our trust in you.â
Boom!
As he spoke, the earth began to rumble, and the surrounding air trembled.
A power so powerful that it suffocated everyone fell upon the world, sealing off the area.
This was the strength of the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
âLord Clan Chief, what do you mean by this? Are you intending to kill the two of us together with your blood-related daughter?â the Ox-nosed Old Daoist asked.
âKill? You better give me a reasonable explanation today, or else youâll soon be begging for me to kill you. Iâll make you wish that you were never born!â the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief uttered coldly.
The courteous attitude he had put on earlier had already vanished without a trace.
Right now, he was completely shrouded with killing intent. It was almost as if a demon had possessed his body.
However, both Chu Feng and the Ox-nosed Old Daoist knew that this was the real face of the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
