âBring me to him,â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said.
âIâll take you to him tomorrow. He reserves half of his time each day for Long Xue,â Chu Feng replied.
âWhatâs wrong with him? Our Totem Dragon Clan is in a precarious state, and he still wants to squander his time on a woman?!â
Many of the elders were infuriated to hear that.
âEveryone has their pursuit in life. To him, Long Xue is simply more important than the Totem Dragon Clan,â Chu Feng replied.
âWeâll talk tomorrow,â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said.
Chu Feng stayed on the flying warship instead of returning to look for Long Lin.
He returned to his room, dragged out Jia Lingyi, and tried several methods to treat her. However, she was in such a terrible mental state that his formations failed to ease her condition.
The following morning, Long Lin arrived as promised.
The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief didnât make things difficult for him.
âI see young friend Chu Fengâs words carry weight. Youâre willing to trust me now,â Long Lin remarked with a smile.
âI can put the past aside if what you said is true, but if this turns out to be a scheme, I wonât hesitate to kill you,â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said with the token in hand.
Long Lin chuckled. He rose into the air and led Chu Feng, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief, and the others into the ancestral dragonâs forbidden land. They dove into the depths of the land.
For the first time, Chu Feng saw the true ancestral dragonâs remains.
The ancestral dragon was so humongous that it amazed Wang Qiang, Bai Yunqing, and even Chu Feng. It covered everything within sight even though they were still a far distance away. It was long enough to pierce through the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm.
The ancestral dragonâs carcass was mostly bones by this point. There were only a few rare spots that still had scales.
âItâs m-m-my first time seeing something so huge! Is it a t-t-true dragon?â Wang Qiangâs eyes widened in shock.
âI bet it could destroy multiple realms in a single breath if it was alive.â Bai Yunqing was shaken up too.
âItâs just a true dragon. You people sound like a bunch of bumpkins!â a voice suddenly echoed.
It was the Heaven-devouring Qilin. It had transformed back into its true self.
âH-h-huh? Where did this pig come from?â Wang Qiang asked.
âYou are a pig! Your family is pigs! Are you blind, you stutterer?! How do I look like a pig? Do you want me to bite off your tongue?â the Heaven-devouring Qilin snarled at Wang Qiang.
But Wang Qiang wasnât afraid of anything. He grabbed the Heaven-devouring Qilin by its head and asked, âBrother, i-i-is this the pet youâre raising? Why is it so ugly?â
âAudacious! Let go of me right now, you stutterer!â The Heaven-devouring Qilin angrily struggled, but it was to no avail.
âShow some respect. What if it is a qilin?â Chu Feng took the Heaven-devouring Qilin from Wang Qiangâs hands.
âT-t-this thing? I would rather b-b-believe Iâm a woman than that itâs a q-q-qilin!â
âIâd rather believe it is a qilin. At least it isnât that repulsive,â Chu Feng replied.
âDamn!â Wang Qiang rolled his eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu Feng turned to the Heaven-devouring Qilin and asked, âWas the ancestral dragon a true dragon, a legendary god beast?â
âThatâs right, Little Feng. Thereâs no need to kick up a fuss over a mere god beast.â
The Heaven-devouring Qilin looked arrogant on the surface, but it secretly sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, saying, âLittle Feng, we struck it rich! Itâs a god beast! Do you feel it? Itâs just a carcass now, but the pressure it emanates is still tremendous! There must be more good stuff inside it. Find a way to get them out, and Iâll assimilate them for you!â
Chu Feng paid it no heed.
The crowd surveyed the surroundings, and they noticed that Long Lin had modified the formation here to deal with any assailants. This further convinced the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief of Long Linâs credibility, and he decided to work with the latter.
The mastermind behind the Totem Dragon Clanâs unrest was the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect. They were the ones who convinced the Totem Dragon Clansmen and subordinate powers to betray the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
Long Lin was just a puppet. Even if not for him, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect would have just propped someone else up.
It was not to say that Long Lin was guilt-free, but it should also be taken into consideration that the latter didnât harm them. Had anyone else been in Long Linâs place, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief and the others would have been dead by now.
From this perspective, Long Lin was not irredeemable.
Since both of them had the Totem Dragon Clanâs welfare in mind, they could work together.
Chu Feng noticed that the formation constructed out of the ancestral dragonâs remains was intended to stave off outsiders, just that it had been modified into a slaughter formation. With its prowess, it could easily deal with True Gods, but it fell short of matching Heavenly Gods.
âPardon my frankness, but I donât think that this formation can deal a fatal blow to a Heavenly God even if the two of you simultaneously channel it. Thereâll be a lot of trouble if the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectâs sectmaster escapes.â
This matter had huge consequences, so Chu Feng didnât hesitate to reveal his findings.
âChu Feng, do you have a way to enhance this formation?â Long Chengyu asked.
No matter what, they had to preserve the ancestral dragonâs remains. Even at the cost of their lives, they couldnât let it fall into the hands of an outsider.
âThis formation is constructed based on the bloodline power left behind by the ancestral dragon. Iâm afraid that Iâm unable to interfere with it.â Chu Feng shook his head.
âWe have no choice but to fight if the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectâs sectmaster comes. Even if we fail to kill him here, we should at least deal him severe damage,â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said.
He knew that Chu Feng was right, but retreat wasnât an option here.
âRest assured. With your help, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectâs sectmaster will die if he dares to to come,â Long Lin said with confidence. He turned to Chu Feng and said, âYoung friend Chu Feng, if thereâs nothing you can help with, why donât you accompany Xueâer on my behalf and stabilize her condition?â
The Heaven-devouring Qilin anxiously sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, saying, âDonât go! Stay here and keep a lookout instead. Who knows? You might just find a chance to dig out some dragon essence!â
Chu Feng ignored the Heaven-devouring Qilin. âAll right, Iâll go visit Elder Long Xue.â
âI-I-Iâll go too!â Wang Qiang said.
âLetâs go together.â Chu Feng and Wang Qiang made their way to where Long Xue dwelled.
The two of them arrived at the courtyard, but Long Xue wasnât around.
âSomething is off.â Chu Feng sent a voice transmission to Wang Qiang.
âW-w-whatâs wrong? Did you notice something?â Wang Qiang discreetly replied.
âElder Long Xue should be here at this time.â
âCould she have gone s-s-somewhere else? Itâd be boring to s-s-stay in the room all day long,â Wang Qiang said.
Chu Feng had a bad feeling, but there was no basis for that.
So, he quickly constructed a formation and hid it in the courtyard.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, why are you hiding?â an old voice suddenly boomed from above.
A three-meter-tall old man with a ten-meter-long white beard was floating in mid-air. He was dressed in a white robe that made him look like a deity in the mortal world.
However, Chu Feng knew right away that things had gone awry, for this man was the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectâs sectmaster.
