Of course.
Those were merely objective reasons.
The main reason Lu Yuan chose to check on Zi Yan instead of going to Dragon Island to help Zhu Kun resolve the dispute at its source was the name of the place where the Void Ancient Dragon Clan led by Zi Yan would fight the younger generations of the Stone Clan, Flame Clan, and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
Dragon Severing Valley?
A valley that severed which dragon?
The last person who refused to believe in such things was called Pang Tong, who styled himself the Fledgling Phoenix.
Then, he died at Fallen Phoenix Slope.
Shot to death by a hail of arrows.
When it came to metaphysical matters, it was better to believe than not believe.
What was more, Dragon Island was the ancestral stronghold the Void Ancient Dragon Clan had built and maintained for generations.
Not to mention that Hun Tiandi had been severely wounded and could no longer fight, giving Zhu Kun the advantage.
Even assuming Hun Tiandi had not been injured.
Even assuming Zhu Kun had been the one injured.
With Dragon Island's defensive capabilities, the remaining Dou Saint-level Void Ancient Dragons would still be able to activate the barrier and keep Hun Tiandi outside Dragon Island's defenses.
Moreover, the resources accumulated by the Void Ancient Dragon Clan over several hundred thousand years were enough to ensure that Zhu Kun recovered most of his combat power before Dragon Island's barrier was breached. Compared to the Soul Clan, whose supply lines had been stretched severely thin, any protracted battle favored the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.
Zi Yan's side was different.
The Soul Clan, Gu Clan, Thunder Clan, and Flame Clan.
They were the strongest among the Ancient Eight Clans.
The Stone Clan, Spirit Clan, and Yao Clan were comparatively weaker.
