After saying that, Hall Master Kai Yang first cupped his hands toward Mu Hongyan and the others. Then his figure blurred, and he vanished from where he stood.
The next second after he left.
The void above Seven Star Palace suddenly tore open.
Immediately afterward, Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall, wearing a Silver Seven Star Mask, appeared before Mu Hongyan and the others with the patriarchs of the Ling Clan, Shi Clan, and Yao Clan.
Over here.
The Three Clan Leaders had just stepped out of the Spatial Channel.
Their bodies suddenly stiffened. In the short span of an instant, four vast, boundless auras had descended upon them.
Moreover, these four auras were no weaker than that of Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall, a Nine-star Dou Saint.
Even the siblings 'Lin Han' and 'Lin Yan,' who stood beside Mu Hongyan and looked younger than ten, gave them an unfathomable feeling.
Just then.
The Ling Clan Patriarch's scrutinizing gaze suddenly fell upon the 'Hall Master Tianshu' standing to the side.
When he saw the other party's face.
He seemed to have seen a ghost. His pupils contracted sharply, and he pointed at the other party with a trembling finger, stammering, "Xiao... Xiao Xuan! You... you're not dead?"
Hearing the Ling Clan Patriarch's cry of surprise.
The Shi Clan Patriarch and Yao Clan Patriarch instinctively turned their heads.
After clearly seeing the incomparably familiar face of 'Hall Master Tianshu,' their pupils widened as well. Their faces were filled with disbelief, and their minds suffered an enormous shock.
Looking at the Three Clan Leaders in the void before him, who were still in a state of mental shutdown.
The former Xiao Clan Patriarch, Xiao Xuan—the current 'Hall Master Tianshu'—smiled and waved at the three of them. "Ling Yun, Shi Feng, Yao Dan. Long time no see."
"Let's get reacquainted. The Xiao Clan Patriarch Xiao Xuan you knew died a thousand years ago. The person standing before you now is the reborn 'Greedy Wolf Star Lord' Xiao Xuan of Tianshu Hall, Seven Star Palace!"
"And me..."
Just then.
Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall also removed the mask from his face.
At this sight, the Three Clan Leaders were shocked once again, because another familiar face had appeared.
After the Three Clan Leaders recovered, Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall introduced them in turn. "There's no need to introduce the two of us. Let me introduce you to the others. This is the Mistress of Seven Star Palace... the two Young Masters... as well as Hall Master Yu Heng and Hall Master Yaoguang..."
At the end, Xiao Xuan, Hall Master Tianshu, added, "You arrived one step too late. Hall Master Kai Yang just left to return to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to deal with Family Affairs!"
After learning everyone's identities.
Yao Dan, the Yao Clan Leader, muttered in shock, "Didn't the Gold Ranking say that the Six Hall Masters of Seven Star Palace had all left the Dou Qi Continent?"
"We did leave before." Xiao Xuan raised his brows and chuckled. "But the Gold Ranking never seemed to say that we couldn't return after leaving, did it?"
The patriarchs of the three clans were instantly stunned.
At the same time.
When 'Huang Tian,' the patriarch of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, saw that the Gold Ranking had awarded the Ancient Void Dragon Clan three Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruits, his eyes turned red with envy.
The Supreme Treasure his clan could only dream of.
The Ancient Void Dragon Clan had obtained three of them without paying any price.
What was more, under the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking, a Four-star Dou Saint Supreme Demonic Beast Dragon Phoenix had been born ahead of time.
As 'Huang Tian' broke down in despair.
The Ancient Void Dragon Clan at the Eye of the Storm presented an entirely different scene.
On East Dragon Island, the clan was filled with jubilation because the Old Dragon Emperor, 'Zhu Kun,' was still alive and 'Zi Yan' was about to evolve into a Dragon Phoenix Bloodline and break through to the Four-star Dou Saint realm.
Outside the Island Protection Array, however, stood countless Dragon Clan troops from West Dragon Island, South Dragon Island, and North Dragon Island, all wearing grim expressions.
At the very front of the army stood three figures.
They were none other than the West Dragon King, South Dragon King, and North Dragon King, all at the Late Three-star Dou Saint level.
At this moment, the three Dragon Kings no longer wore the arrogant expressions they had displayed when they had rushed to East Dragon Island immediately after the Gold Ranking first ranked the Family Ranking.
Each of them stared silently at the contents of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking.
After recovering.
The despairing voice of the South Dragon King suddenly rang in the ears of the other two Dragon Kings. "The Old Dragon Emperor, 'Zhu Kun,' isn't just alive—he has even joined another faction. How is that possible?!!"
Hearing this.
The West Dragon King also spoke in a solemn voice. "Although we don't know why the Old Dragon Emperor, 'Zhu Kun,' joined another faction, once he saw the Gold Ranking mention the Dragon Clan's split, he would definitely hurry back to Dragon Island. When that happens, we'll all be finished!"
Looking at the two Dragon Kings' dispirited faces.
The North Dragon King snorted coldly. "Look at you two, completely useless!"
"With 'Zhu Kun's' Late Nine-star Dou Saint strength, aside from Seven Star Palace established by Ice Emperor Lin Yuan, no other faction on the entire Dou Qi Continent should possess such ability."
"A Nine-star Dou Saint powerhouse is at Hall Master level in Seven Star Palace."
"Moreover, during my trip to the Meteor God Ice Plain several months ago, I sensed Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall make a move. There wasn't the slightest trace of my clan's aura."
"So I guess Zhu Kun was one of the Six Branch Hall Masters taken away by Ice Emperor Lin Yuan."
"Otherwise, how could we explain the fact that he had clearly been alive all these years, yet never returned to Dragon Island or sent back the slightest bit of information?"
Faced with the North Dragon King's reminder.
The West Dragon King and South Dragon King thought it over carefully and felt that it indeed made some sense.
Then the North Dragon King continued to mislead them. "Since 'Zhu Kun' isn't on the Dou Qi Continent, why should we fear too much?"
"Our most urgent task now is to call upon our clansmen to choose the divine ability reward, cut off East Dragon Island's path to finding the Old Dragon Emperor, then break through to the Late Four-star Dou Saint realm under the Heavenly Dao Blessing and eliminate that Dragon Emperor's Daughter, Zi Yan, inside East Dragon Island!"
Hearing this.
The South Dragon King instinctively said, "Our previous goal was to seize the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Since the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking has now awarded each of our Three Dragon Island one, why do we still need to eliminate the Dragon Emperor's Daughter, Zi Yan?"
"Exactly. If we push things too far, what will we do if the Old Dragon Emperor, 'Zhu Kun,' returns?" The West Dragon King also frowned deeply, unwilling to take any further risks.
In response, the North Dragon King forcibly suppressed the speechlessness in his heart and said coldly, "Do you think our previous actions didn't thoroughly offend that little girl inside?"
"Could it be that you naively believe the Four Dragon Islands can coexist peacefully in the future?"
"Once the Gold Ranking's rewards are issued, that little girl will immediately become a Four-star Dou Saint with a Dragon Phoenix Bloodline. Her talent, bloodline, and potential will far surpass those of us three old fellows..."
"That's right. The Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking has given us three Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruits, but are you confident you can absorb them and successfully transform your bloodline into a Dragon Phoenix Bloodline?"
"Don't forget, of the few Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruits that appeared in the past, the success rate was less than half. Even this little girl only succeeded with the Gold Ranking's help."
"So our top priority is to deal with her!"
"If we fail to eliminate the Dragon Emperor's Daughter this time, then once she becomes familiar with her Dragon Phoenix Bloodline and strength, the Three Dragon Island will never sleep peacefully again given her potential. Let alone absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit under her watch."
After the North Dragon King's round of manipulation.
The West Dragon King and South Dragon King were successfully persuaded.
Then the Three Dragon Kings first called upon their Underlings to choose the divine ability rewards. Immediately afterward, before those high-level Dou Saint clansmen traveling outside could make their choices, the Gold Ranking issued the rewards.
They directly ordered an attack on East Dragon Island.
