Gu Yue Seeks to Strip Away the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline!

"You're saying you sensed the Golden Dragon King's aura?"

"On a human?"

Gu Yue looked at Na'er, who was playing with her jade-white fingers, and asked gravely.

Na'er nodded slightly. "Mm."

"It was at the Immortal Eater Pavilion yesterday."

"Are you sure?" Gu Yue asked again.

Na'er frowned impatiently. "Obviously. Why would I tell you something like this if I wasn't sure?"

"Most of the origin is within you, but I'm still part of the Silver Dragon King. Could I possibly sense something like this incorrectly?"

Hearing that, Gu Yue knew it made sense.

The Golden Dragon King's bloodline, which should have been in the God Realm, had appeared on a human.

This surprised Gu Yue somewhat.

However, when she considered that Ling Luo possessed the origin powers of two God Kings at once, it no longer seemed so difficult to accept.

This era was fraught with upheaval.

And the Soul Beast Clan, having suffered that defeat, could only hope to turn the tables amid such turbulent times.

Why the Golden Dragon King's bloodline had appeared on a human was not important.

What mattered was that if she could strip away the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, she might be able to recreate the Dragon God's former glory.

Gu Yue did intend to use Ling Luo to revitalize the Soul Beast Clan.

But she had never liked placing all her chips on one side of the scale.

Besides, progress over the years had not been as smooth as she had expected.

Given a chance to strengthen herself, Gu Yue naturally would not let it slip away.

Na'er, whose humanity was more pronounced, felt nothing about stripping the bloodline from a stranger.

Gu Yue, formed from the Silver Dragon King's origin consciousness, felt even less.

"Then why didn't you bring him here?" Gu Yue demanded coldly.

"You should know very well how much help the bloodline within him could provide."

Faced with Gu Yue's questioning, Na'er rolled her eyes inwardly and replied irritably:

"Why should I bring him to you?"

"That was supposed to be your task. We already agreed on that."

"Miss Na'er only told you, you oath-breaking bastard, this information today for the sake of the Soul Beast Clan's future, and now you're questioning me?"

Na'er voiced her displeasure.

Gu Yue did not argue with her and merely continued, "Where is he?"

"I don't know." Na'er's answer was exceptionally crisp.

Gu Yue's expression turned cold. "Are you playing with me?"

Na'er paid no heed to her icy expression. Instead, a sly smile appeared on her little face.

"How about this? Go back to your Spirit Pagoda properly and honor our original agreement. Never approach Ling Luo again, and I'll tell you where that person with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is."

"What do you say?"

"Not a chance," Gu Yue refused coldly.

"That's what you should have been doing in the first place!" Na'er snapped.

"You're the one going back on your word. As the main soul of the mighty Silver Dragon King, don't you have even a shred of shame?"

Gu Yue's expression remained utterly unchanged. "For the Soul Beast Clan's future, a little flexibility is nothing."

"But I can do it too!"

"But you still haven't."

"But neither have you!"

"That is precisely why we should both do it. Add together two chances of success, and they will always be greater than the chance brought by one."

"You!" Na'er pointed at Gu Yue's nose. Looking at that face, which resembled her own by sixty percent, Na'er felt her teeth itch.

She wanted nothing more than to punch Gu Yue hard in the face.

"You don't want to know where that human with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is?"

"I do, but I don't have to hear it from you." Gu Yue folded her arms over her chest and spoke calmly.

"You just said that you encountered the human with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline at the Immortal Eater Pavilion yesterday."

"So the exact time frame can be narrowed down quite precisely."

"With the Spirit Pagoda's methods, obtaining the list of customers who entered the Immortal Eater Pavilion during that period would not be difficult."

"Then, after some investigation, I can still find the human with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. It will merely take a little more time."

Gu Yue's words made Na'er's expression grow uglier and uglier.

Damn it, the great and brilliantly clever Lady Na'er had been tricked into giving away information by this wicked woman again!

How had she been so careless yet again?!

Na'er was thoroughly annoyed with herself.

If Ling Luo had been here and known what she was thinking, he would surely have patted her shoulder and sighed softly.

This really had little to do with being careless.

Na'er simply could not outplay Gu Yue.

Though they were both souls of the Silver Dragon King, she was far too innocent compared to Gu Yue.

"Fine, fine!" Na'er waved her hand in resignation. "Consider Miss Na'er defeated."

"For the Soul Beast Clan's future, Miss Na'er will tell you."

"I truly don't know where that human is now, but Ling Luo told me that one of the people who came later was a former student of our Shrek Academy."

"He was also the disciple of Sea God Pavilion Elder Zhuo Shi. Word from the Sea God Pavilion is that he seems to be returning to the academy."

"That human with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is most likely his disciple. If you investigate around him, you should be able to find him."

"I think his name was Wu Changkong."

Na'er told Gu Yue everything she knew. Then, unwilling to remain any longer in that detestable person's room, she turned, opened the door, and left.

As the door before her slowly closed, a deep, secluded divine light flashed through Gu Yue's eyes.

She took out a Dragon Scale from her Soul Tool.

Before long, the space before Gu Yue suddenly tore apart.

A black dragon claw extended from within and pulled the rift wider until it was the size of an ordinary door.

A black figure stepped out.

A strand of golden hair stood out sharply amid his black hair, hanging down before his eyes.

The man radiated the invisible pressure of a peak powerhouse of the continent, yet the moment he saw Gu Yue, it instantly faded away.

He respectfully dropped to one knee.

"Master."

Gu Yue raised her hand, and only then did the man slowly rise.

If a knowledgeable Soul Master powerhouse had been here, they would surely have cried out in shock.

For the man who had arrived was none other than the current pinnacle of Soul Beasts, Beast God Di Tian!

"Master, why have you summoned me? What are your orders?"

Di Tian asked respectfully.

"Na'er discovered a human who possesses the Golden Dragon King's bloodline."

Di Tian was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

"The Golden Dragon King's bloodline?!"

As the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian knew all too well what that meant.

"So, Master, you mean for me to..."

"Correct." Gu Yue nodded coldly.

"Investigate a human named Wu Changkong. The human with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline should be someone by his side."

"Find him, then bring him here!"

"Yes!" Di Tian answered respectfully.

As the Soul Beast world's foremost workhorse, Di Tian was exceptionally proactive whenever it concerned the future of the Soul Beast Clan.

With a flash of black light, Di Tian disappeared into the space.

After a ripple passed through it, the space before her returned to calm, as though nothing had happened.
