According to Long Zixuan, he had dinner as usual that day and suddenly felt a little sleepy, so he went back to his room to sleep. When he woke up, he had already wandered outside, transford into an inconspicuous little red snake.
For decades afterwards, he constantly hid, evading the pursuit of the Sky Punishnt Pavilion and the branch families.
Long Zixuan also tried to break the restriction inside him, but he found that every ti he attempted to break through, a wave of people would co to capture him. He later understood that breaking through the restriction would expose his aura, which was also a treacherous sche of the Sky Punishnt Pavilion.
Eventually, he gave up on breaking through the restriction. Unable to return to the Dragon Clan, Long Zixuan continued to roam outside, hoping to one day find an opportunity.
And so he waited, until An Yiqing ca.
"The branch families are just small-ti jokers. The main enemy of the Dragon Clan is the Sky Punishnt Pavilion, which possesses the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Grandpa has long known the Sky Punishnt Pavilion’s ambition is growing, but they have the Dragon-Slaying Sword in their hands, so no one can make a move against them."
An Yiqing propped her chin, frowning slightly, "Is the Dragon-Slaying Sword really that powerful? The Sky Punishnt Pavilion’s ambition is not a recent developnt. If the Dragon-Slaying Sword is truly strong, why haven’t they seized the real power of the Dragon Clan long ago?"
Long Zixuan shook his head, "I was too young at the ti to know much about the Dragon-Slaying Sword. I guess only grandpa can answer Sister An’s questions. However, over the years, I’ve made so speculations. Perhaps the current master of the Sky Punishnt Pavilion cannot fully wield the power of the Dragon-Slaying Sword?"
An Yiqing stayed silent, a gleam of interest sparkling in her clear eyes. The Dragon-Slaying Sword, huh?...
"Take a good rest these days. If I’m right, it won’t be long before Elder Jin and Hongye co to fetch you."
Long Zixuan’s small snake eyes brightened, and the tip of his tail quickly wrote on the paper: "Sister An, are you really going to help Zixuan against the Dragon Clan’s enemies?"
An Yiqing suddenly smiled. She patted Long Zixuan’s snake head, smiling like a little fox, "The Dragon Clan cooperating with Sister An, a win-win situation. Why wouldn’t I agree? Even if your grandpa disagrees, I won’t leave you behind. Otherwise, wouldn’t that little girl Lingling cry her heart out?"
Long Zixuan was taken aback, his snake head swayed slightly, and then he coiled his body, burying his head inside.
An Yiqing grinned, casting a thoughtful glance at Long Zixuan, her eyes filled with teasing.
A few days later, as An Yiqing predicted, Hongye and Elder Jin ca again. This ti, their faces were filled with excitent, looking at An Yiqing with more respect in their eyes.
"Miss An, I have conveyed your words to the Old Clan Chief. The Old Clan Chief has agreed, and he asked to bring a ssage of gratitude to you for taking care of the Young Master these days. This ti, he requests Miss An to accompany the Young Master back to the Dragon Clan to lend him a helping hand."
With that, Elder Jin and Hongye bowed together.
An Yiqing stepped aside, "Please rise, both of you. There’s no need for grand gestures until the enemies of the Dragon Clan are eliminated. Give three days to arrange my affairs at ho. After three days, we set off."
In the span of three days, An Yiqing spent her days imrsed in drafting business proposals and her nights busy flying to various major Dragon Veins to absorb Dragon Qi. The journey to the Dragon Clan was imminent, and only by improving her Dragon-Taming Art could she better ensure the safety of herself and Long Zixuan.
Three days later, An Yiqing, taking Yin Xilin and Long Zixuan with her, left Xuandu City with Hongye and Elder Jin.
The Dragon Clan was the most supre existence in the myth of Xuanjin. Throughout history, few have seen a true dragon, and even in the Ancient Martial World, the Dragon Clan is just a legend.
Many people have traveled far and wide, trying to find the location of the Dragon Clan, but to no avail. Even in the most mysterious Valley of Gods, there is no trace of the Dragon Clan.
An Yiqing had always wondered where the stronghold of the Dragon Clan was. Until she sat on Hongye’s back, flying towards the highest peak of Xuanjin—Langgesanu Peak!
Langgesanu Peak, the highest peak in the world by elevation.
Hongye, carrying Yin Xilin and An Yiqing, circled with Elder Jin at the cloud-covered summit several tis. Above the dense layers of clouds, Elder Jin spat out a breath of white air from his massive dragon’s mouth, revealing a dazzling golden dragon pearl faintly within it.
In just the blink of an eye, Elder Jin swallowed the dragon pearl back into his belly. Looking forward, the layered clouds slowly parted, revealing a seam. The seam widened, and an aerial city that originally did not exist here appeared before their eyes.
With a turn, Hongye followed Elder Jin into the aerial city. Behind them, the dense clouds once again obscured, and the aerial city disappeared.
How curious this optical illusion is!
Amazed in her heart, An Yiqing focused all her remaining attention on this city that appeared out of nowhere.
This isn’t exactly a city, at most it’s a settlent. The settlent is filled with continuous mountains, with countless caves of various sizes in the mountains. At the foot of the mountains, ancient bamboo buildings are arranged in a picturesque disorder. In front of the bamboo buildings is a long river, winding through the settlent and its central area. An Yiqing clearly saw a dragon swimming in the great river.
What a feng shui treasure land! Even the best Dragon Veins outside can’t compare to a fraction of this place!
An Yiqing only felt the Dragon Qi in her body stirring, eager to rush out and greet the external Dragon Qi.
Calming her excitent, An Yiqing did her best to control the urge to absorb the Dragon Qi. Being new here, it’s best to conceal her strength.
Hongye began descending, flying slowly towards the ground. Elder Jin had already gone ahead to report their safe arrival to the Old Clan Chief who had been waiting for a long ti.
"Hongye, how dare you bring humans into the Dragon Clan without permission!" A voice suddenly bood in the air, its thunderous sound made Yin Xilin shudder and turn pale.
Seeing this, Long Zixuan on her wrist was furious. An Yiqing imdiately cald his anger, taking out a pill and giving it to Yin Xilin.
She slowly raised her head, looking upwards. A pale golden giant dragon spiraled continuously in the air, its large dragon eyes looking down at Hongye with disdain. When it caught An Yiqing’s gaze, its eyes revealed contempt.
Upon hearing this voice, Hongye spouted a breath of dragon Qi in anger. This botherso person showed up just when the Young Master returned, utterly annoying!
Swinging her dragon body, Hongye brought An Yiqing and Yin Xilin to the side. She rose to an equal height, looking levelly at that golden dragon.
"Jin Feng, these two are honored guests the Old Clan Chief has long awaited, do not be rude!"
Jin Feng? The na made An Yiqing smile coldly in her heart. The one who chose this na was overly ambitious. Unsatisfied with being a dragon, they even wanted to bring in a phoenix. Do they want to be both a dragon and a phoenix?
"The Clan Leader’s guests?" Jin Feng snorted coldly with disdain, "The Clan Leader would invite two lowly humans? His eyesight is getting worse with age!"
"Insolent! Don’t forget your place, how dare you speak of the Old Clan Chief like that!" Hongye was furious, pressing her mighty dragon aura towards Jin Feng, "Don’t think that just because you’re one of the candidates for successor, you can strut around! You’re only a backup, really thinking you’re the Young Master?! I’ll warn you, say another word and I’ll yank out your dragon tendons!"
Jin Feng was stunned by the scolding. Hongye, usually known in the clan for enduring, held a high status but hardly ever showed temper. What happened today?
Too lazy to bother with Jin Feng, Hongye snorted and flew An Yiqing and Yin Xilin to the clan leader’s residence.
"Hongye, who was that just now?" An Yiqing asked.
Hongye was a bit dejected, "Ever since the Young Master went missing, the branch family arbitrarily selected several candidates for training as successors. This Jin Feng has decent talent and is quite popular. Over the years, she’s been flaunting around the clan, treating herself as the bona fide successor. Her group of sycophants also call her the Young Master. The Old Clan Chief’s health hasn’t been great these years, and after being angered, he vomited blood a few tis and then shut himself away, not caring about these troubleso matters anymore."
What Hongye didn’t say was that over the years, she had kept a low profile, not daring to cause trouble for the Old Clan Chief. But now that the Young Master is back, and with help in hand, Hongye no longer wants to endure.
Hongye’s mindset was clear to An Yiqing. She patted Hongye’s dragon head, "No need to endure any longer. Leave the rest to ."
The massive dragon head nodded, and Hongye made a silent decision in her heart that no matter if Miss An could help or not, she was determined to protect the Young Master’s owner!
