True Dragon Nine Crowns, the Light Dragon King!

"What?"

Upon hearing Yu Tianmeng's words, the people present immediately erupted in an uproar!

Especially Yu Luomian, he originally thought Yu Tianmeng mentioned the True Dragon Cave to blame him, but he didn't expect that this girl actually wanted to imitate him and dig up the ancestral grave again!!

At this moment, Yu Xingchen was also stunned. He tugged at his foot-long, white beard and said incredulously, "Tian Meng, you... you're joking with the elders, right?"

"Uh... Great-Grandpa, I'm serious, our Purple Micro Palace really needs a lot of Gold Soul Coin."

Yu Tianmeng blinked her big eyes and said sincerely, "If the situation hadn't been urgent, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure."

"Oh, Purple Micro Palace... what's going on?"

A powerful voice came from outside the main hall. The next moment, a flash of deep blue lightning appeared, and a tall old man suddenly appeared before the patriarch's throne at the deepest part of the hall.

The old man had a stern face, a neatly trimmed beard, and a few strands of white hair that stood up like steel needles. He wore heavy, dark gold armor with dragon carvings, and his whole body radiated strong Soul Power fluctuations.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing old man, all the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family present, except for the Great Elder Yu Xingchen, immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Clan Chief!"

Clearly, the newcomer was none other than Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen and patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!

"No need for formalities, please have a seat."

Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand kindly and said with a smile.

"Yes."

The elders responded in unison and sat down again. This demonstrates the immense prestige of Yu Yuanzhen.

Just then, Great Elder Yu Xingchen suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and then looked at Yu Yuanzhen with a delighted expression, saying, "You've broken through?"

"Haha, the Great Elder is indeed very perceptive."

Yu Yuanzhen laughed and said, "I've broken through to level 97. Come to think of it, this is all thanks to that Longevity Pill."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yuanzhen's gaze fell on Zhou Chen, who was sitting with Yu Tianmeng, and he said with a smile, "Palace Master Zhou, I have been in seclusion cultivating, so I have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."

As the saying goes, "If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect." Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's politeness, Zhou Chen stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said humbly, "Clan Chief Yu, you are too kind. We are all family; there's no need to concern ourselves with such formalities."

"Yes, Grandpa Clan Chief, Zhou Chen is my husband, and can be considered the son-in-law of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Yu Tianmeng also stood up and said in a sweet voice.

"Haha, Tian Meng's words make sense."

Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily, then said affectionately, "Then I'll shamelessly address you as 'Zhou Nephew,' how about that?"

Zhou Chen nodded and smiled.

"Haha, okay."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded with satisfaction, then his expression turned serious as he asked, "Nephew, just now I heard from Tian Meng that the Purple Micro Palace... is it facing some difficulties?"

"We are in trouble, Grandpa Chieftain, you must help us."

Before Zhou Chen could reply, Yu Tianmeng put on a pitiful look and spoke first.

Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand and said generously, "Tell me your situation first. As long as my clan can help, I will not refuse!"

"Our Purple Micro Palace needs Gold Soul Coin."

Yu Tianmeng raised her head, her big purple eyes blinking.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen didn't even frown, and directly asked, "How much do you want?"

"At least several hundred million Gold Soul Coin."

Yu Tianmeng chuckled sheepishly, "Grandpa Clan Chief, I've thought about it carefully, and I doubt the clan can come up with that many Gold Soul Coin. I'm afraid the only way is to do what Second Grandpa did last time: dig up the True Dragon Cave and take out the burial goods inside."

"Very well, I agree."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded and readily agreed without the slightest hesitation.

All the elders present were shocked. No one expected that Yu Yuanzhen, who was known for his stubbornness and conservatism, would agree to dig up his family's ancestral graves without even thinking, just for the sake of a grandson-in-law who had just come to visit!

Does the clan leader really consider that kid one of his own?

"Uh, Grandpa Chieftain, you've agreed?"

Like the elders, Yu Tianmeng was extremely surprised. She had prepared herself to be rejected, but Yu Yuanzhen agreed so readily, as if the True Dragon Cave wasn't their own ancestral tomb.

Zhou Chen, however, remained calm and simply nodded to Yu Yuanzhen to express his gratitude.

Seeing Yu Tianmeng's wide-eyed expression, Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily and teased, "Tian Meng, do you think I'm some stubborn old fogey? Although the True Dragon Cave is our clan's ancestral tomb, where our ancestors are buried, how can the dead be more important than the living?"

After a pause, Yu Yuanzhen continued, "According to the information I've received, your Purple Micro Palace and the Spirit Hall are engaged in a fierce battle in the Star Dou Great Forest. The Gold Soul Coin needed this time are probably related to this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng was so surprised that her mouth formed an "O" shape.

I never would have guessed! The clan chief, who never seemed very bright, is actually so well-informed. His intelligence seems to have improved a lot, as he was able to guess this far!

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhou Chen clapped repeatedly, looking directly at Yu Yuanzhen with a hint of admiration, and said, "As expected of the Thunder Douluo can lead one of the Upper Three Sects. Yes, our Purple Micro Palace is indeed about to go to war with the Spirit Hall!"

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family present were so shocked that they all stood up. Their aged faces were filled with disbelief and a hint of fear!

The Spirit Hall —a super power with 100,000 Soul Master and over twenty Title Douluo —how dare the Purple Micro Palace wage war against such a behemoth?

The elders present looked at each other, none of them wanting to get involved in this mess. If they weren't careful, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would be torn to pieces by this terrible vortex.

Some elders with darker minds even considered issuing a statement now, similar to how the Clear Sky Sect Spirit Hall Sect expelled Tang Hao, to expel Yu Tianmeng from the family and declare that Yu Tianmeng's actions had nothing to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, in order to avoid retaliation from the Spirit Hall. They wondered if it was too late.

As for Yu Xingchen and other direct relatives of Yu Tianmeng, although they were inclined to support Purple Micro Palace from the bottom of their hearts, they could not speak up, otherwise they would easily arouse the resentment of the other elders, or even isolate themselves.

Seeing the elders in the main hall all silent, Yu Yuanzhen frowned, his gaze sweeping over them like a sword, and coldly said, "What, are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, most of the elders guiltily avoided the clan leader's sharp gaze, thinking to themselves:

Nonsense, who isn't afraid of the Spirit Hall?

Even the once-renowned Clear Sky Sect, hailed as the First Sect Under Heaven, had to go into seclusion after angering the Spirit Hall. How could their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, with its small arms and legs, dare to challenge the Spirit Hall?

Seeing the elders' pathetic state, Yu Yuanzhen sighed deeply, then looked at Zhou Chen and said with a wry smile, "Nephew, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has fallen so low. A dignified descendant of the True Dragon is frightened like this by the mere mention of the Spirit Hall. It's truly shameful!"

Zhou Chen simply smiled and remained silent; he couldn't really comment on the internal affairs of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Instead, Yu Tianmeng pouted pitifully and pretended to sob softly, saying, "Grandpa Clan Chief, the elders are just being realistic. After all, the Spirit Hall is indeed too powerful to fight. Please don't do this. Let's leave True Dragon Mountain now..."

"No!"

Yu Yuanzhen his hand, interrupting Yu Tianmeng, and then said in a deep voice, "I am the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. Their opinions do not represent the clan!"

Then, Yu Yuanzhen coldly glanced at the opportunistic elders, and changed the subject, saying, "I know you fear the strength of the Spirit Hall. However, the strength of the Purple Micro Palace is not to be underestimated either. In the battle a few days ago in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Spirit Hall suffered a crushing defeat, losing more than ten Soul Saints and Soul Douluo, and even Pope Bi Bi Dong was seriously injured."

"Real?"

An elder exclaimed in astonishment.

"Of course it's true. How could that old woman, Bi Bi Dong, possibly be a match for my husband?"

Yu Tianmeng put her hands on her hips and proudly raised her chin.

Hearing the words of the clan leader and Yu Tianmeng, the elders' already wavering resolve was further shaken.

It's unlikely that we'll get them to deliver charcoal in the Xue Ye, but since the Purple Micro Palace has the upper hand, adding to their glory is something we can consider.

Seeing that the elders' attitude had improved, Yu Tianmeng pressed her advantage, saying, "The Spirit Hall harbors wolfish ambitions, desiring to unify the Soul Master World. As one of the Upper Three Sects, even if we keep backing down, the Spirit Hall will not let my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan go."

"That makes sense. If we don't unite with the Purple Micro Palace, we'll only be defeated one by one by the Spirit Hall."

The Great Elder Yu Xingchen, nodded and chimed in at the opportune moment.

"It seems we've reached a consensus."

Yu Yuanzhen summarized the situation, then suddenly looked at Zhou Chen with curiosity and said, "Nephew, I'd like to know, what does your Purple Micro Palace need so many Gold Soul Coin for? A major battle with the Spirit Hall should require more powerful warriors!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen was truly at a loss for words.

I can't exactly tell Yu Yuanzhen that many of my Soul Skill require Gold Soul Coin to activate, that I need Gold Soul Coin to level up, and that my System Shop requires Gold Soul Coin to exchange for items!

Seeing that her husband was hesitant to answer, Yu Tianmeng, being a considerate wife, quickly said with a smile, "Grandpa Clan Chief, everyone has their own secrets. The Xuanyuan Family is a reclusive family, with even more secrets. It's best if you don't know so much."

"Haha, okay then."

Yu Yuanzhen was a broad-minded person, so since it was a secret, he naturally didn't want to investigate further.

At this moment, Yu Luomian, the second head of the family, suddenly stood up, looked directly at Yu Yuanzhen, and said passionately, "Brother, give the order! Since Zhou Nephew needs Gold Soul Coin, let's seize the day and start digging the True Dragon Cave today! I have experience digging ancestral graves. As long as you give the order, I will immediately lead the family members to start working, and we will definitely dig it quickly and well!"

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

The elders. "..."

Zhou Chen and Yu Tianmeng: "..."

What the hell? The True Dragon Cave is, after all, the ancestral grave of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. How come you, Yu Luomian, get so excited and agitated the moment you mention digging up ancestral graves, without the slightest bit of remorse for disturbing your ancestors?

Yu Yuanzhen, his forehead creased with exasperation, sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Luo Mian, since you're so confident, then the task of excavating the True Dragon Cave is entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, big brother."

Yu Luomian's excitement was palpable. As soon as he finished speaking, he excitedly left the main hall to gather his family members and prepare to excavate the ancestral tomb.

Half a day later.

Behind True Dragon Mountain, at True Dragon Cave.

The True Dragon Cave appears to be just a deep, dark cave tunnel, but inside lies a completely different world.

"This seems to be... a demiplane?"

Standing inside the True Dragon Cave, Zhou Chen looked at the vast space before him that far exceeded the limitations of the cave and made a guess.

The space here is about several thousand square kilometers, larger than the entire Heaven Dou City. Although there is no sun, it is still very bright. Hundreds of strange plants grow on the ground, as well as tombs that are built in a rather imposing and exquisite manner.

These are the graves of the ancestors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan.

At this time, many graves were dug up, and chests of valuable burial goods were unearthed, shimmering with the brilliant colors of gold and jewels.

Of course, after the burial goods are removed, these graves will be repaired and commemorated to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in heaven.

How much have you dug up?

A powerful voice rang out; the speaker was none other than Yu Yuanzhen.

"Brother, we've already unearthed burial goods worth 200 million Gold Soul Coin. Should we continue digging?"

Yu Luomian was holding a shovel, which showed that he was very professional.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded and said, "Keep digging. Unearth all the valuable burial goods. The Spirit Hall has decided to be enemies with the Purple Micro Palace, and our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family cannot remain unscathed. Our ancestors left us so many burial goods for this day!"

"Yes."

Yu Luomian answered excitedly, then turned around and directed his family members to continue digging the grave.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, beams of golden light burst forth from a newly excavated tomb chamber, illuminating an area of several kilometers in radius and immediately attracting the attention of most people.

Zhou Chen, Yu Tianmeng, and Yu Yuanzhen rushed over, while Yu Luomian put down his shovel and curiously came up to the top of the tomb chamber.

As the golden light slowly faded, the group looked around and saw a huge golden skeleton in the tomb. The skeleton was several thousand feet in size, with a slender body, a tail, wings, and two horns on its huge head, making it look like the skull of a real dragon.

However, there was a large gap on the skull.

Upon seeing the enormous golden skeleton, Yu Yuanzhen's expression immediately turned solemn. He examined it for a long time, gesturing with his hand to indicate its size, his gaze shifting constantly.

"What's wrong, brother? What's this...?"

Yu Luomian was completely bewildered. He was very curious as to why a huge dragon skeleton had been unearthed from his ancestor's tomb.

They are human! Even if they transform into their Martial Soul Avatar, they will revert to human form after death.

"This is the Light Dragon King, one of the Dragon God Nine Sons, and the patriarch of the Light Sacred Dragon Clan."

Yu Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "The Light Dragon King is actually an ancestor of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!"
