Zi Yan Leaves, a Brief Parting

"Get up, you're making me very uncomfortable," Zi Yan said to Hei Qing and the other four.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Hei Qing called out, stood up, and then bowed slightly to Zi Yan, requesting, "Then, Your Highness, shall we return to our clan now?"

Hei Qing has now found the Imperial Bloodline, and the most urgent matter now is to bring Zi Yan, who possesses the Imperial Bloodline, back to East Dragon Island. Delay could lead to unforeseen changes.

After all, we're still outside the islands. Who knows when people from the other Three Islands will find out and come to cause trouble or intercept us?

Of the Four Islands, only East Dragon Island has no Royal Bloodline or Imperial Bloodline.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan looked at Xiao Tian again. Having spent so much time together, Zi Yan always let Xiao Tian make the decisions when it came to matters requiring thought, and she would simply do whatever Xiao Tian said.

Using my brain? I'll never use it in my life; my fists are far more effective than my brain.

"Okay, you should go back with them. It will be good for you in the future." Xiao Tian patted Zi Yan's head, feeling a little reluctant, but he knew the benefits outweighed the drawbacks for Zi Yan.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Zi Yan asked Xiao Tian Xiao Tian after hearing his words.

"We won't go. Besides, we still have the Sound Transmission Stone, so we can keep in touch. We'll come see you then; I want to prepare a gift for you."

Upon hearing about the gift, Zi Yan's eyes lit up. Everyone knew that anything Xiao Tian gave was of the highest quality. "What gift is it that I can know right now?"

Zi Yan pretended to be innocent and looked at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian shook his head. "I already said it's a gift, how could I tell you now? But this is extremely important for you in the future."

Xiao Tian is determined to obtain such a thing; he will kill anyone who stands in his way.

Seeing Xiao Tian's expression, Zi Yan gave up the idea of pressing him further, but the anticipation in her eyes didn't diminish at all. "Then it's settled. You can't lie to me, let's pinky swear."

Zi Yan extended her pinky finger and shook it a few times. Xiao Tian also extended his pinky finger and made a pinky promise with Zi Yan. Finally, their thumbs touched.

Zi Yan leaped towards Xiao Tian, wrapping her legs around Xiao Tian: "I won't go back to say goodbye, Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng will definitely cry their eyes out later."

Seeing the two of them like this, Hei Qing pretended not to notice and looked up at the sky as if there was something interesting there. The other four did the same.

"Yes, I'll talk to them about it then."

Zi Yan nodded heavily.

Smack!

Zi Yan gave Xiao Tian a big kiss on the cheek. "You absolutely have to come see me, I can tell I'll be super bored then."

Xiao Tian thought to himself, "You'll definitely be bored then. You'll be incredibly busy learning a ton of things." But Xiao Tian didn't say it aloud. If he did, Zi Yan would definitely not go back.

For someone as active as her, this was absolute torture.

"You must come find me." Zi Yan nestled in Xiao Tian's arms, her eyes slightly red, her voice full of reluctance.

"I promise I'll definitely come find you, but you'd better study the abilities of the Ancient Dragon Clan carefully. If you don't learn them well, I'll spank you."

"I'll definitely study hard. Once I've mastered it, I might even surpass you. Then you'll be in for a beating, hmph!"

Zi Yan sniffed, her eyes fixed firmly on Draven. (Sorry, wrong scene, it should be "her eyes fixed firmly on making a grand vow").

"Yes, yes, I'll wait then." Xiao Tian touched Zi Yan's face, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then gently comforted Zi Yan.

As Xiao Tian and Zi Yan bid each other a reluctant farewell.

In the Endless Void, somewhere unknown, there exists an island much larger than East Dragon Island.

Inside a massive building at the very center of the island, there are several high platforms, upon which sits a Dragon Pattern Throne. Seated on the throne is a middle-aged man dressed in Dragon Robe, whose face always bears a smile that is both warm and benevolent.

But looking into his eyes, this kindness had a very fake feel to it, confirming that the middle-aged man was not a truly kind person; it was all just a facade.

He looked at the intelligence report in his hand and let out a sneer, "Royal Bloodline descendant? How laughable. Do you think this can change the fact that your East Dragon Island has no Royal Bloodline and is the weakest party? How laughable."

"The next time the Four Islands gather, it will be my chance to unify the Ancient Dragon Clan. The Southwest Dragon Island should also continue to serve its purpose."

The middle-aged man had a kind face, but his eyes were like those of a venomous snake, as if everything was within his calculations.

I orchestrated the division of Dragon Island to weaken the power of each faction, thus giving myself a greater chance to ascend to that position.

At the same time, news of the Royal Bloodline also reached two other very similar islands.

The two middle-aged men inside, both wearing crowns, both gave disdainful smiles, as if they had seen some huge joke.

"Why not just wait to die? You bunch of old fogies."

Inside a quaint-looking secret chamber on East Dragon Island, an old man opened his eyes, thinking, "The news should have arrived by now. I imagine you're all quite disdainful. Hei Qing, you'd better hurry and bring His Highness back; we don't have much time left."

This person was the old man who had previously been known as the Grand Elder in the Purple Gold Divine Hall.

The news of the Royal Bloodline's demise was deliberately leaked by him; the dragon's roar earlier couldn't be hidden from the spies on the other Three Islands within East Dragon Island.

He deliberately released this smokescreen to make them spread false information.

The Purple Gold Divine Hall also possesses the ability to find other Royal Bloodline, but these bloodlines are somewhat different from those of pure Imperial Bloodline. Of course, most people cannot perceive this difference unless they are ancient monsters.

If they knew they were descendants of the Dragon Emperor, Three Islands would definitely attack East Dragon Island at all costs.

Only by spreading false information can we buy time for the Dragon Emperor Bloodline to grow.

The appearance of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline will definitely disrupt the balance. As long as the news is released, those members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan who have left the clan will be summoned back, and even the people on other Dragon Island will have their beliefs shaken.

Most importantly, Imperial Bloodline can suppress the bloodlines of others; even within the royal family, there is a certain degree of suppression.

Moreover, the pure Ancient Dragon Bloodline allows one to unleash a Dou Technique called the Dragon Slaying Sword.

The direct bloodline of the Dragon Emperor is undoubtedly the closest to, or even the purest bloodline. Who would dare to guarantee that it isn't?

This is the most terrifying method for the ancient Ancient Dragon Clan, and it is also the exclusive method of the Dragon Emperor. Unless the strength of the ancient dragon wielding the Dragon Slaying Sword far surpasses that of the ancient dragon, any ancient dragon is as fragile as tofu under this sword.

Before the Dragon Slaying Sword, no ancient dragon could muster the thought of resistance.
