One Sexagenary Cycle in the Blink of an Eye (27)
Three days later, after receiving the knowledge Inheritance Dragon Pearl, the Luochuan River Dragon King opened his eyes and looked at the other magical Law Treasures floating beside his throne.
A suit of armor, a dragon spear, and a token!
The armor was Scarlet Gold in color, seemingly composed of countless dragon scales. On each shoulder was a majestic dragon head roaring towards the sky, emanating a powerful aura. This was clearly a Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Saint Treasure.
The Dragon Spear is entirely purple-gold, resembling a straight-stretched azure dragon. Its head is open, exhaling a peerless sharpness, while the blade at its tail is thin and sharp, exuding a fierce aura, as if it could tear apart heaven and earth and cut through space. This Dragon Spear is actually a double-headed spear, also a Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Saint Treasure.
Finally, there was the token, crescent-shaped. The Luochuan River Dragon King immediately recognized that it was forged from the reverse scale of a certain Flood Dragon.
The Dragon Clan's reverse scale grows on its neck, above its chest. It is the hardest of all the countless scales on its body, and also the most untouchable.
For other races, the most precious thing about the Dragon Clan, besides the Dragon Pearl, is their reverse scale.
Law Treasure crafted using reverse scales possess the most formidable defensive capabilities among their peers.
This token, crafted from reverse scales, is also Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Saint Treasure.
The Luochuan River Dragon King scanned the three treasures one by one, muttering to himself, "Heavenly Radiance Dragon-Scale Armor, Purple-Gold Tyrant Dragon Spear, and Reverse Scale Guardian Token!"
Each of the three Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Saint Treasures is no weaker than the White Tiger God-Slaying Saber of the White Tiger White Tiger Lineage, especially the last one, the Reverse Scale Guardian Token.
This treasure can not only be transformed into a shield for defense, but also serve as a flying Law Treasure with incredible speed. When fully activated, it can outrun most Mid Sage Manifestation cultivators.
Furthermore, the Reverse Scale Guardian Token is also the military order of the Dragon Mound Guard Army, the "Reverse Scale Army," equivalent to the Tiger Tally of the Human Race. Holding the Reverse Scale Guardian Token allows one to command 15,000 Reverse Scale Army.
If this elite legion of the Flood Dragon Clan were to go all out, it would be able to contend with Mid Sage Manifestation Saint. Since its establishment, no fewer than ten Sage Manifestation have fallen at their hands. They are renowned and are among the strongest armies in the entire Lu Wu Realm.
Not to mention the Luochuan River Dragon King, even the well-informed Yang Tianyou's eyes lit up when he saw these three treasures.
These three Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Saint Treasures are all top-quality items, and this is just one of the benefits of becoming Dragon Mound Guardian.
"The Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan... truly fearsome and terrifying!" Yang Tianyou sighed softly.
At this moment, outside the Dragon Tomb, hundreds of Flood Dragons flew in from the horizon in a grand procession.
The Eastern Sea Flood Dragon King shifted his form, transforming into human shape. Looking at the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldiers standing before him like mountains, he asked expectantly, "May I ask, Dragon Guard, is the new generation of Dragon Mound Guardians my son Long Mie?"
The Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldier glanced at him indifferently, shook his head, and calmly said, "No!"
Upon hearing this, the Flood Dragon King's expression darkened, and he involuntarily glanced at the Grand Elder.
The latter was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Is this my grandson Long Guang?"
"No, not at all!" The Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldier continued to shake his head.
The Grand Elder's expression stiffened, and he asked unwillingly, "Could it be Long Jue?"
Upon hearing this, all the Flood Dragons turned to look at the Third Elder.
Among the Flood Dragon Clan, the most talented members of this generation are Flood Dragon Crown Prince Long Mie, the grandson of the Grand Elder Long Guang, and the son of the Third Elder Long Jue. There was originally another one, Long Qian, but his bloodline was destroyed, so he was naturally ignored by the other dragons.
At this moment, with Long Mie and Long Guang eliminated, Long Jue has the greatest hope.
The Third Elder was overjoyed. If his son became the Dragon Mound Guardian, wouldn't their lineage rise to prominence?
However, the words of the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldier were like a bucket of cold water poured over the Third Elder's head.
"No, it's him, the new Dragon Mound Guardian!"
The Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldier waved his right hand, and a screen of light appeared.
On the majestic throne lay a four-clawed Flood Dragon with pure gold scales and incomparably pure blood.
Before the Flood Dragon floated three powerful Saint Treasures, each one coveted by all Flood Dragons. At this moment, they were all obediently being slowly refined by the golden Flood Dragon.
"How is this possible? It's actually Long Qian!!" The Flood Dragon King's voice rang out in disbelief, his eyes widening as he stared at the light screen in front of him, as if trying to prove that he was mistaken.
However, no matter how he looked at it, the golden Flood Dragon on the light screen was clearly Long Qian.
"Impossible! His bloodline was clearly destroyed, how could he have passed the True Dragon Road? Impossible, absolutely impossible!!" The Third Elder muttered to himself, his face pale and his eyes filled with disbelief.
"What? How could it be Long Qian?"
"Long Qian? Why him? How could someone with his bloodline destroyed still manage to pass the True Dragon Road?"
"Incredible! I thought he was no longer a threat, but the trip to the Dragon Tomb turned the tables on me!"
Upon learning that the new Dragon Mound Guardian was the Luochuan River Dragon King, the Flood Dragons instantly erupted in chaos, with a clamor soaring into the sky. Most of the Flood Dragons wore expressions of disbelief, followed by jealousy.
The Dragon Mound Guardian —it's no exaggeration to say that he rose to the top in one fell swoop!
There was only one Flood Dragon, filled with joy; that was Long Chen.
"Third Brother, did you see that? Long Qian has become the Dragon Mound Guardian! There is hope for our lineage!!" Long Chen whispered to himself.
"Long Chen, congratulations!"
"Yes, Long Qian, oh no, Guardian, if you ever need anything in the future, you can't forget your old brother!"
One by one, the Spirit Transformation Flood Dragons surrounded Long Chen. Their initial disdain for his "abandonment of the light for the darkness" now turned into flattery.
Seeing this, Long Chen sneered inwardly, but his face was full of smiles as he quickly said, "Definitely, definitely!"
The Grand Elder was the first to recover. His eyes flickered, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
Regardless, Long Qian is still officially one of my factions, and even if he becomes the Dragon Mound Guardian, I still have to remember this bond.
With the support of the Dragon Tomb, wouldn't his Grand Elder Faction be able to overpower the Dragon King Faction?
The Flood Dragon King quickly recovered from his shock. After all, he had been a king for many years. Although he was somewhat dissolute in his personal life, the Flood Dragon King's political Wisdom was by no means inferior.
With a thought, he went to the Second Elder's side and whispered something to him. The latter was slightly taken aback, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
After persuading the Second Elder, the Dragon King immediately went to the Fourth Elder and whispered something to him. In the end, he pulled the two Neutral Faction factions onto his side.
As for the Third Elder, none of the current factions want to get involved in this hot potato.
Not to mention, the Third Elder's previous underhanded tactics were indeed detestable.
The final result was that, before the Luochuan River Dragon King even emerged from seclusion, the original three-way division of the Flood Dragon Clan had already undergone tremendous changes.
It has transformed from a tripod to Twin Peaks Standing Side by Side!
One Peak is a combination of the Grand Elder Faction and the Dragon Tomb, while the other Peak is a combination of the Dragon King Faction and the Second Elder and Fourth Elders.
As for the Third Elder Lineage, they were excluded from the Twin Peaks.
As the person Luochuan River Dragon King hates the most, whichever peak takes in the Third Elder will inevitably be targeted by the former. With the power Luochuan River Dragon King currently holds, if things go wrong, it could lead to a fierce internal strife.
Therefore, the safest method is to separate the Third Elder. In this way, the Luochuan River Dragon King will have an outlet for his anger, which will inevitably ease up in other aspects, and the balance of power within the Flood Dragon Clan can be maintained.
However, while the overall situation remains intact, the future of the Third Elder's lineage is predictable.
It must have been quite miserable, to the point that even some shrewd people were thinking about changing jobs.
Let's get out of this quagmire as soon as possible, so that everyone can be happy. Let's just leave the Third Elder and his son to get beaten up; we won't have to stay with them.
