The Gap Between Long Guang and Long Zhantian
Looking at Long Guang's condition, Zhang Xuanchen sighed inwardly.
Even if he said he was willing now, the other party wouldn't believe him.
He even admitted to being hypocritical.
"Alas, First Prince, I think with your intelligence you should be able to realize that even if you obtained that Cultivation Method, it would be impossible for you to sit in that position."
Why bother pretending to get hurt?
Will it come to the point of mutual slaughter?
Yes.
The Dragon Lord did give you hope before, but you also know that was because Long Zhantian had not yet been born. The other dragon sons and daughters are not as talented or intelligent as you.
That's why the Dragon Lord said, "You miss him the most."
Wasn't the reason you were favored back then because of your talent and intelligence?
Isn't it normal for things to have come to this point?
There is no such thing as fairness in this world; it's all about what you value.
Whoever has the highest intrinsic value rises to the top.
I don't believe you don't understand this.
Why do your Father King, the Turtle Prime Minister, the powerful figures of the Myriad Dragon Cave, and even the leaders of the Fourth Stage Yao Sect who cooperate with the Dragon Court, only favor Long Zhantian?
Because in their eyes, Long Zhantian is more valuable than you.
The Demon Race has always revered the strong, Long Zhantian's bloodline talent far surpasses yours.
Even if he is slightly inferior to you in other aspects, it doesn't matter.
Because if he is strong enough, he can shatter all calculations and schemes with a single punch.
He can lead the Dragon Court, or rather the Sea Race, to even greater heights!
Besides, he's not stupid; he just hadn't studied systematically before.
At this point, Zhang Xuanchen shifted his gaze to the endless deep sea before him, where dark currents surged.
He spoke again, "If you insist on fighting for it, you are forcing your Father King, the Turtle Prime Minister, to kill you with his own hands."
This even includes your mother and the entire Ink Ice Flood Dragon clan.
Because Long Zhantian cannot have his hands stained with his elder brother's blood.
Now, withdrawing from the power struggle still requires your help.
In the future, you will be second only to one dragon, above all others.
So what more could one ask for?
You can ask your Father King if he's truly happy being the Dragon Lord.
If it were truly that good, why would he be in such a hurry to appoint Long Zhantian as the young master?
"Preparing for his succession?"
Zhang Xuanchen's voice wasn't loud, but every word he spoke came from the bottom of his heart.
That's also true.
Long Guang had absolutely no chance!
After hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Long Guang clenched his fists.
His whole body was trembling, and his face was filled with resentment.
Is Zhang Xuanchen right?
The answer is correct.
Because his Father King had eyes for him, he and Long Zhantian each had one of the two precious Transformation Grass.
Long Zhantian also respected him as his elder brother, and would visit him to pay his respects every now and then.
It can be said that as long as he doesn't rebel, he will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the Dragon Court.
Take a deep breath and slowly loosen your clenched hands.
He looked at Zhang Xuanchen with a calm gaze.
After a long silence, he let out a sneer.
Perhaps you are right.
But I don't want to give up that position.
I will have no regrets, even unto death.
If we really give up now, what will I, Long Guang, become?
A dog that can be ordered around at will?
Whether it's useful or not depends entirely on the mood of that high and mighty Dragon Lord?
I've gotten to this point, so don't blame myself!
Zhang Xuanchen!
"I, the Crown Prince, will only ask you one question: will you give me that Cultivation Method or not?"
"No."
Zhang Xuanchen answered decisively.
Long Xuan's face darkened. "So there's no room for negotiation?"
Uncle, make a move...
Boom!
Before Long Zhantian could finish speaking, a majestic voice came from all directions.
The surging seawater all around receded completely.
It was kept out by a layer of overwhelming Demon Qi.
The Early Fourth Stage Ink Ice Flood Dragon, sensing this aura, changed its expression.
Damn it!
Our whereabouts have been discovered!
Hurry up!
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a dark blue Ice Flood Dragon that was thousands of feet long.
The dragon's claws seized Long Guang.
"Roar!"
A giant ice cone, hundreds of feet long, pierced fiercely towards the Demon Power barrier that sealed off the surrounding area!
Just then, a cold snort rang out from all around.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome young man dressed in white robes, with a pair of Flood Dragon horns on his forehead, appeared directly in front of the ice cone.
He looked at the mountain of Demon Power hurtling towards him.
He extended his right hand, and his platinum vertical pupils bloomed with cyan flowing clouds.
A white vortex of Demon Power condensed in his hand.
"Demon Dragon Devouring Force!"
Boom!
The iceberg, hundreds of feet high, was swallowed by a vortex.
After doing all this, the young man in the white robe did not hesitate at all.
With a flash, he appeared above the Ink Ice Flood Dragon Commander.
Stomp down hard with your right foot, "Suppress!"
The terrifying force directly suppressed the suspended Ink Ice Flood Dragon to the seabed.
Strands of white chains shot up from the ground, locking it securely.
Bai Jingran!
Release me at once!
According to seniority, I am your elder!
How could you do this?!
Upon hearing this, the young man in the white robe did not respond.
He walked step by step to Long Guang and bowed to him.
"Your Main Hall, it's time to return to the palace."
Don't delay Clan Leader Zhang's journey.
His tone was gentle, but brooked no argument.
Looking at the person in front of him, Long Guang smiled bitterly to himself.
They also knew that their actions had completely failed.
He sneered and said, "Heh."
When did you arrive?
The young man in white robes smiled faintly and replied, "I have been secretly following Clan Leader Zhang ever since he stepped out of the Dragon Court Treasury."
To prevent petty thieves from attacking Clan Leader Zhang.
Throughout, the young man in white robes wore a smile and kept a humble posture, but the words "petty scoundrel" clearly showed that he had no respect for Long Guang whatsoever.
Long Guang snorted coldly and did not ask any further questions.
But Bai Jingran spoke up at this moment, "Your Main Hall, why are you so stubborn?"
You should understand that your chances are slim.
If they want to continue fighting, who can they rely on?
Is this piece of trash who couldn't even withstand one of my attacks?
Before Zhan Tian was born, you indeed made no mistakes and resolved many hidden dangers for the Dragon Court.
But your maternal clan has been plundering and seizing territory everywhere, damaging the dignity of my Dragon Court. Have you punished them accordingly?
"Is there anyone who can execute the offender?"
"I..." Long Guang opened his mouth, his face looking rather pale.
After a long pause, he managed to stammer, "But they are, after all, my mother's people, my Mother Queen..."
Bai Jingran raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
His tone suddenly turned a thousand times colder. "Your Mother Queen?"
To put it bluntly, your Mother Queen is nothing!
Is the Dragon Court your Mother Queen's or your Father King's?
The Dragon Court will never need a Dragon Lord who considers his Mother Queen's feelings!
This will only plunge the entire Dragon Court into the Abyss!
This is the biggest difference between you and Zhan Tian, and the root cause of your Father King's decisive abandonment of you!
Zhan Tian is different from you; as his maternal uncle, I can tell you that clearly.
Even if I break a taboo, he will not hesitate to kill me!
Because he firmly stands on the side of the Dragon Court, and on the side of your Father King.
That's enough.
Your Main Hall, it's time to turn back before it's too late.
I've said everything I needed to say; it's time for us to return to Dragon Court.
Don't disturb Clan Leader Zhang's Hui ethnic group.
Hearing this, Long Guang glanced unwillingly at Zhang Xuanchen, then at Bai Jingran's extremely cold expression, and ignored the Early Fourth Stage Ink Ice Flood Dragon locked in the middle of the deep sea before turning his sleeves and leaving.
Bai Jingran didn't care about this.
He unleashed a burst of Demon Power, compressing the Ink Ice Flood Dragon to a length of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and flung it to the ground.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Xuanchen and said:
"I apologize, Clan Leader Zhang, for keeping you from returning to your clan."
