Frame-up
At Zhang Xingfeng's residence, Zhang Xingfeng and Yu Yan were saying goodbye to Little Dragon and the Old Dragon King.
"Second Brother, do you really have to leave right away? Can't you wait for me?" Little Dragon pouted and grumbled, looking rather annoyed. He was nowhere near the demeanor of a Dragon King.
Just moments ago, Little Dragon was excitedly and proudly announcing his newfound strength to Zhang Xingfeng. But as soon as he heard Zhang Xingfeng say he was leaving, he immediately forgot to boast and started to look miserable.
Little Dragon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a grin, "Hehe, Second Brother, if you don't wait for me, I can go with you, hehe... Dragon King, uh... I'm the Dragon King now, well, I have the right to decide my own fate!"
That former Dragon King, oh, now he should be called the Old Dragon King.
Upon hearing the Little Dragon's words, the old Dragon King immediately said, "No, Little Dragon, you are not fully prepared yet. If you go out and encounter the White Tiger Clan's pursuit, you will not be able to protect yourself. You must stay by my side for the next month and absolutely cannot go out!"
The Little Dragon frowned, staring intently at the old Dragon King. The old Dragon King remained resolute. The Little Dragon looked at the old Dragon King, exhaling heavily through his nostrils, and said angrily, "I am the Dragon King! Don't I even have this much power?"
The old Dragon King smiled and said, "Little Dragon, don't forget, I am your guide and have the right to teach you. As your guide, you must obey! Once your body is fully consolidated, you can leave without my objection!"
Among the dragons, the old Dragon King still holds considerable power, much like the retired emperor in the human world.
Little Dragon snorted dejectedly, slowly walked up to Zhang Xingfeng, looked at Zhang Xingfeng, and said, "Second Brother, Little Dragon is Dragon King now, I can't adventure with you like before!" Little Dragon suddenly laughed, "Roar, this elder... uh, this Dragon King will go find Second Brother as soon as the Dragon Pearl is consolidated, hehe, by then, I guess the old Dragon King won't have anything to say!"
When the old Dragon King heard the Little Dragon mention the Dragon Pearl, the old dragon king immediately frowned. The existence of the Dragon Pearl was a big secret, and even in the Realm of Divine Beasts and the Spirit Realm, very few people knew about it.
Fortunately, Zhang Xingfeng was also feeling a bit regretful at the time and didn't notice.
Zhang Xingfeng felt a slight ache in his heart, his eyes fixed on the Little Dragon, and he instructed, "Little Dragon, now that you are the Dragon King, you must consider the dragon race in everything you do. Don't be as carefree as before, understand?"
"Yes!" Little Dragon nodded seriously.
The old Dragon King smiled with satisfaction. When he taught the Little Dragon, the Little Dragon only listened halfway, but when Zhang Xingfeng spoke to the Little Dragon, the Little Dragon listened attentively!
"Alright, Little Dragon, your sister-in-law and I are leaving now. You know where we're staying. Goodbye!" Zhang Xingfeng had a smile on his face, seemingly very happy. But only Yu Yan, who had been with him these past few days, knew that Zhang Xingfeng had been constantly worried about Little Dragon.
"Little Dragon, Brother Feng and I are leaving now. You must work hard and become a good Dragon King!" Yu Yan said encouragingly.
Little Dragon nodded firmly. "Yes, I will definitely be a good Dragon King!"
Immediately, Zhang Xingfeng and Yu Yan exchanged a smile and then flew away from the courtyard.
As Zhang Xingfeng and Yu Yan's figures slowly disappeared into the planetary clouds, Little Dragon's eyes reddened...
Amidst the Star Brilliance.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xingfeng conjured a reclining chair in the Star Brilliance. Zhang Xingfeng lay down in it, and Yu Yan nestled in his arms. The two gazed at the beautiful starry sky beyond the Star Brilliance, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
"Carefree King, don't forget what we talked about before. This time, we need you to go to the White Tiger Clan and stop by! Hehe, that is, to let Huang Yan die on the White Tiger Clan's territory." The old Dragon King's voice echoed in Zhang Xingfeng's mind.
A slight smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's lips as he lay in the recliner.
"Yu Yan, it seems our journey home will be a bit bumpy! Let's go to the White Tiger Clan now, have some fun with that Great Elder, hand Great Elder Huang Yan over to him, and help Little Dragon out of some trouble!"
Yu Yan lay in Zhang Xingfeng's arms. Upon hearing Zhang Xingfeng's words, she looked up at Zhang Xingfeng and asked in confusion, "Brother Feng, what difficulty are you trying to overcome?" Although Zhang Xingfeng knew some things about the internal affairs of the Dragon Clan, he had not told Yu Yan in detail.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just a small matter. Just wait and see!"
Zhang Xingfeng muttered to himself, "Hmm, that Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan has been trapped in the Despair Prison Realm for quite some time now, and I haven't had a chance to take good care of him myself yet."
Immediately, Zhang Xingfeng's Divine Sense traversed the Despair Prison Realm and entered it.
These days, our Dragon Clan's Grand Elder is suffering terribly, having been thrown into the Despair Prison Realm by Zhang Xingfeng and tormented by the torture instruments within.
"This Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan is really... tsk tsk..." Zhang Xingfeng looked at Huang Yan with his Divine Sense and sighed inwardly.
The situation in Huang Yan is terrible now!
Her once golden hair had turned into a chicken coop, seemingly blasted by the lightning that occasionally appeared in the Criminal Realm!
As for his once cold and aloof face, it is now covered in red, black, and purple marks. It's hard to imagine how much hardship his face has endured to become like this.
As for the clothes... they shouldn't even be called clothes anymore; they're more tattered and worn than a piece of paper torn by a cat!
Zhang Xingfeng finally felt embarrassed. He was too embarrassed to take care of Huang Yan anymore. But looking at it now, it seemed that he had gone too far back then. However, he shouldn't have been so desperate!
"Despair, how did you punish him? How did you turn a master into someone worse off than a beggar?" Zhang Xingfeng asked.
Despairingly replied to the teacher, "Master, you ordered me to teach him a lesson using various methods. As long as he doesn't die, that's enough! I only used some of the most basic methods; otherwise, he would be missing limbs and so on!"
Zhang Xingfeng vaguely remembered that he seemed to have given such an instruction. But he never imagined that despair would be so tormenting. To be so humiliated as a Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan, the leader of the Golden Dragon Clan, was worse than death!
"Hehe, Huang Yan, you can only blame yourself for having such a bad heart back then, trying to harm Yu Yan. Well, for someone who's about to die, I have nothing more to say!" Zhang Xingfeng sighed, then withdrew his Divine Sense from the Despair Prison Realm!
The planet where the Great Elder of the White Tiger Clan resides.
The Great Elder's residence was very large, and similarly, it was guarded by a considerable number of the White Tiger Clan soldiers, after all, it was the Great Elder's residence.
The mansion was as peaceful as usual, with only the occasional sound of the Great Elder's family members talking inside.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
A series of violent explosions suddenly erupted from the Great Elder's residence, immediately alarming all the White Tiger Clan experts on the planet. Not only did the entire army of the residence mobilize, but also the top experts of the White Tiger Clan rushed to the scene. Of course, they weren't worried about anything. After all, with the Great Elder's strength, no one could truly harm him. However, the attackers who could create such explosions within the Great Elder's residence were clearly no ordinary people!
"Who dares to cause trouble on this old man's turf!" The Great Elder's calm voice rang out in the mansion.
However, the enemy's attacks did not stop. Continuous explosions rang out one after another, and the guards of one mansion after another were killed. It seemed that the enemy did not take the Great Elder seriously at all.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"...
Screams rose and fell, indicating that the attackers were incredibly powerful, with no one able to withstand a single blow from them; the screams never ceased!
The Great Elder immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly moved to the location of the screams.
"You are... Ah! Huang Yan, it's you!!!" The Great Elder was shocked when he saw that the person in front of him was Huang Yan, the second strongest expert of the Dragon Clan.
The Great Elder is certain that Huang Yan's skill is extremely high. Even he himself would have to be seriously injured to kill him!
"Huff... Get out of my way!" Huang Yan attacked frantically!
He was furious. Once Zhang Xingfeng released him, he realized he couldn't use any of his own power. Little did he know that Zhang Xingfeng had easily bound his Dragon Origin Power with fire power within the Despair Prison Realm.
When he was in the Despair Prison Realm, he was manipulated and played with at will by Zhang Xingfeng. Under such circumstances, it was normal for Zhang Xingfeng to have made him into this state.
As soon as he came out, he found that countless White Tiger Clan soldiers were attacking him frantically!
He couldn't use his internal power or Teleportation, so he could only rely on speed. But... could he escape so many White Tiger Clan experts by speed alone?
Hiding in his Mustard Seed Space, Zhang Xingfeng observed everything, thinking to himself, "Fight! Fight! Haha, this Huang Yan is quite powerful! Hurry up and die! If he dies, I can finally give an explanation to that old Dragon King!"
Zhang Xingfeng just unleashed a powerful move, killing nearly dozens of people in an instant. The violent explosion was also caused by Zhang Xingfeng. Therefore, as soon as Huang Yan appeared, he was regarded as the murderer and attacked frantically by the people in the mansion!
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!" Huang Yan attacked frantically. Fortunately, his physical cultivation was also very strong. Relying on his powerful physique Huang Yan managed to kill more than a hundred guards. However, as more and more experts appeared on the planet, Huang Yan's situation became increasingly difficult.
"Hmph, Huang Yan, you are at least a Supreme Elder of the Dragon Clan, yet you dare to attack some of my White Tiger Clan's junior guards. Don't blame me for being ruthless!" The Great Elder's cold voice rang out.
Killing each other is considered an honor for the White Tiger Clan and the Dragon Clan. Killing a Grand Elder can also be seen as a victory in the struggle between the White Tiger Clan and the Dragon Clan!
"It's you!" Huang Yan was shocked when he saw the Great Elder, who was exuding Killing Intent. He had been tortured to the point of madness in the Despair Prison Realm, and now that he had come out of the Despair Prison Realm, he was fighting with so many people and was so focused on the battle that he hadn't even noticed the Great Elder yet!
"Huang Yan, prepare to die!" the Great Elder shouted coldly, a flash of light appearing in his hand as a scale-like object shot towards Huang Yan. Instantly, the scale multiplied into millions, surging towards the surrounding mountain!
"Ugh!" Huang Youan felt a sharp pain in his chest, then his whole body shuddered and he collapsed to the ground.
The Great Elder was dumbfounded!
"How is this possible? Even Low-grade Divine Human couldn't possibly be unable to withstand a single move from me, let alone Huang Yan!" The Great Elder couldn't believe it, but his Divine Sense told him that Huang Yan was already dead, dead without a trace, without even a breath left.
"Boom!"
Huang Yan was instantly reduced to a pile of minced meat; the Great Elder's millions of scales had shredded Huang Yan to pieces!
At the same instant, the energy that Huang Yan had been bound by Zhang Xingfeng also exploded! The immense energy instantly turned the entire Great Elder's residence into ruins. Countless screams erupted; hundreds, if not a thousand, of experts perished!
The scales that killed Huang Yan were no ordinary treasures; they were the Great Elder's favorite weapon— Sky Rain Flash! It was also the Dragon King's so-called ultimate move to kill Huang Yan! The Great Elder was stronger than Huang Yan, and Huang Yan couldn't use his own energy, so it was normal that the Great Elder killed him so easily with Sky Rain Flash!
Zhang Xingfeng, inside the Mustard Seed Space, smiled slightly, "Well, now that Huang Yan is dead, my mission is complete!"
"Boom!"
The life pearl corresponding to Huang Yan shattered instantly.
At the same instant, the five elders of the Golden Dragon Clan also noticed Huang Yan's burst of energy!
"It's at the residence of the White Tiger Clan's Great Elder!"
The five elders concluded that it was too late; Huang Yan was already dead!
The ensuing internal strife within the Dragon Clan and the conflict with the White Tiger Clan naturally began, but all of this had nothing to do with Zhang Xingfeng!
Zhang Xingfeng, on the other hand, leisurely returned to the Free Holy City!
"I need to forge some divine artifacts first, otherwise I won't be able to do any big business." Zhang Xingfeng was forging divine artifacts in the Lian Shui Pavilion at this time.
Eight Zhang Xingfeng sat cross-legged around the Qi Cauldron, each of their Avatar forming nine different God-Forging Hand Seals with their hands. Each Zhang Xingfeng simultaneously unleashed his hand seals, and the violent reaction within the Qi Cauldron gradually subsided.
The eight Avatar Zhang Xingfeng merged into one in an instant!
Now let's begin the Gentle Fire refining process...
Zhang Xingfeng stared at the flames, sitting quietly, thinking to himself, "Hmm, I've forged quite a few divine artifacts. Apart from the initial Divine Artifact Tribulation, there haven't been Divine Artifact Tribulation since. It seems my master has quite a bit of influence. Anyway, since there haven't been any Divine Artifact Tribulation, I should be able to forge ten of them this time without any problems!"
