Luo Zheng's heart gave a slight thump.
Luo Zheng had not revealed a word to outsiders about the nine divine dragons or the Divine Fire Cauldron.
Old Man Feng had mentioned it once before, but Luo Zheng had thought the possibility that they were the Ancestral Dragon was greater. Now he finally understood. These people seemed to know him even better than he knew himself.
He felt a little depressed, but this was not a bad thing for him.

Old Man Feng nodded, looking very patient.
But before Luo Zheng could ask Azure Dragon, his voice had already reached him.
"The time has come. Big Brother has been asleep for far too many years. But I thought we would have to return to the True Dragon Realm before we had a chance..." Azure Dragon spoke slowly.
"How did the Heavenly Rank Race learn of your existence?" Luo Zheng asked curiously.
Azure Dragon fell silent for a moment before saying, "They are pieces placed on the board by the disciples of the Saints, while our True Dragon Race are the Saints' contracted beasts. It isn't strange that they know of our existence."

Just what sort
