Deep within the Primordial Grotto-Heaven, the Dragon Emperor suddenly sensed something. A terrifying aura erupted from him.
"Long Wu is dead!"
The Dragon Emperor had only a few direct descendants, and he shared a bond with each of them.
Even the Primordial Grotto-Heaven could not sever it.

The Dragon Emperor looked at Xiao Bai, then shook his head helplessly. He was stronger than she was, but killing her was no longer possible.
Besides,
