When Meng Zhao heard that Lord Bei knew Long Feng, he took the opportunity to ask in detail about the Dragon Clan.
The information that Emperor Qin Ying Zheng had spawned the Dragon Clan through the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline was nothing rare. Meng Zhao had long since learned of it from the Tiantian Clan.
However, the Dragon Clan was not truly a monolithic block within. According to Lord Bei, it was also divided into different branches and factions.
First came the original lineage of the clan, which undoubtedly descended from Emperor Qin Ying Zheng. His descendants all possessed pure blood. Once fully developed, they could transform into heavenly dragons and true dragons, roaming freely beneath the heavens, then gradually multiply from there. This was the so-called pure-blood lineage.
This lineage was further divided into three surnames: the Ying Clan, the Zhao Clan, and the Long Clan.
The Ying Clan originated from First Emperor Ying Zheng, while the Zhao Clan also stemmed from Ying Zheng's identity as a member of the Ying Clan's Zhao branch.
These two clans were not only pure-blooded, but also primarily identified themselves as descendants of Ying Zheng. They generally maintained a friendly and amicable attitude toward the Human Clan. The Dragon Clan leaders on good terms with Sifang City all came from these two clans.
The remaining clan was the Long Clan. Naming themselves after their bloodline, they had clearly ceased to acknowledge their Human Clan identity and instead leaned more toward identifying as the Dragon Clan. Their attitude toward the Human Clan was also the coldest; they were nowhere near as warm and approachable as the Ying and Zhao factions.
Long Feng was a pure-blooded descendant of this clan. His attitude toward the Human Clan was self-evident—he was certainly not someone easy to deal with.
