In a quiet side hall next to the Azure Dragon Main Hall, Gaiseresen stood with a gloomy expression, looking at the silent, head-bowed Elder " Gaya ".
Linley and Bolan, however, looked calmly at the Azure Dragon Carving in the main hall.
After a long while, Gaiseresen sighed softly and looked at the Azure Dragon Ring on Linley's finger with a complicated expression.
" Linley, show me the Azure Dragon Ring in your hand." Gaiseresen sighed deeply, a single tear silently sliding to the ground.
"What? How could he have the Azure Dragon Ring? You're not the only one who has the Azure Dragon Ring ~~~~" Gaya covered her mouth in disbelief, tears streaming down her face.
"The two of them are from the ' Yulan Plane,' one of the material planes," Gaiseresen said softly.
"This?" Linley looked at Gaiseresen in astonishment, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke.
"What, are you afraid I'll take the Azure Dragon Ring for myself?" Gaiseresen frowned and said, "I have one myself, I won't Azure Dragon Ring yours." Gaiseresen extended his right hand.
Linley looked over. Sure enough, there was another ring on the right hand that looked exactly like the " Azure Dragon Ring " on his own hand, except that Linley's was black, while the one on Gaiseresen's hand was blue.
Linley glanced at Bolan, then gently tossed the ring in his hand to Gaiseresen.
With trembling fingers, Gaiseresen gently stroked the Azure Dragon Ring in his hand, tears welling in his eyes. The Grand Elder, seeing the ring in Gaiseresen's hand, cried out in grief, "Father, Father..."
After a moment, Gaiseresen gently tossed the Azure Dragon Ring back to Linley, his expression complex as he said, "Those two idiots must have recognized the Azure Dragon Ring in your hand, and they've been targeting you two brothers to take it for themselves."
"Brother, I understand! After this, I will take them both to Bloodbattle Valley until they die in battle," Gaya said calmly. As she spoke these words, her heart clenched. Even if those two had a thousand faults, they were still her own family.
Gaiseresen pondered for a moment, then said, "The family elders are all waiting in the main hall now; we should go out." With that, he led the way outside.
Gaya glanced at Bolan and the other man, sighed softly, and then said nothing more, silently following Gaiseresen out.
"Let's go too. It seems this farce will have to continue!" Bolan sighed softly, and left the side hall side by side with Linley.
Stepping into the main hall, Linley glanced around and thought, "Only ten elders have come." The Azure Dragon Clan has thirty-six elders, and besides the father and son Fuerhan, who are outside the main hall, there shouldn't be only these few people.
" Bolan, Linley, come sit here!" Elder Jiawei, who was quite familiar with the two, said warmly to them.
Although neither Bolan nor Linley were elders of the family, their strength was undeniable, so everyone tacitly accepted the seating arrangement of the Bolan brothers.
Bolan and Linley sat down directly next to Jiawei and nodded to Jiawei.
" Jiawei, aren't there thirty-six elders in the family? Why are only a few here this time?" Linley asked in a low voice.
"None of the elders in Bloodbattle Valley are coming," Jiawei explained with a complicated expression.
Even Bolan couldn't help but sigh softly after hearing Jiawei's words.
As Linley listened silently to the family elders report on the information regarding Bloodbattle Valley, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
In just a thousand years, the Azure Dragon Clan has lost two elders. It should be noted that those who can hold the position of elder in the Azure Dragon Clan are all powerful individuals at the level of Seven-star Demon.
Upon hearing Gaiseresen mention that he planned to select three elders from the family this time, Linley's heart stirred, and he transmitted his voice to Bolan, "Brother, I want to go to Bloodbattle Valley for some training."
After hearing Linley's words, Bolan gave him a deep look and calmly transmitted his voice, "Then go ahead. With your strength and the Sovereign’s Might I gave you, you won't be in any danger even if you encounter the patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans. It's good for you to gain some experience."
Seeing that several elders had already signed up, Linley spoke up directly, "Clan leader, count me in this time!"
"Hmm, Linley, you actually signed up too?" Gaiseresen said, somewhat surprised.
"Hehe, with my strength, I should be qualified to go to Bloodbattle Valley!" Linley chuckled.
"Haha, with your strength, Linley, you are absolutely qualified." The elder chuckled.
Although there were some misunderstandings with the Linley brothers at the beginning, the Grand Elder still highly recognized Linley's strength.
"In that case, the three elders who will enter Bloodbattle Valley this time will be Linley, Fuerhan, and Inumaner." Gaiseresen made the final decision amidst the bewildered glances of the elders.
As the elders' gathering came to a close, Linley and his son Fuerhan left the clan with the Grand Elder and headed to Bloodbattle Valley to begin their training journey.
Bolan's Destruction Divine Clone also returned to the Yulan Lineage's stronghold and resumed his secluded cultivation.
The Wind Divine Clone and the three-elemental rule Divine Clone, both located in the Netherworld, have also arrived at the outer perimeter of Nethermountain.
Nethermountain Nethermountain, the highest mountain in the Netherworld, is a million meters high and spans over ten thousand miles. The mountain is shrouded in Three-colored Mist, and naturally formed Heaven and Earth Chains bind the mountain on the surface of the clouds.
Looking through the transparent metal at the towering mountain peak, Bolan couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly worthy of being the highest mountain in the Netherworld!"
Sensing that his three elemental clones had arrived at the Nether Hotel at the foot of Nethermountain, he immediately urged the Metal Lifeform to fly rapidly towards the Nether Hotel.
At the foot of Nethermountain stand rows of standard courtyards. In front of these courtyards stands a three-story building with four large characters written on it: Nether Hotel!
When the Nether Hotel came into view, Bolan put away his Metal Lifeform and slowly flew away from the Nether Hotel.
In front of the hotel entrance is a large lawn. In the center of the lawn is a lake, and the most eye-catching sight is a man and a woman fishing by the lake.
The two people were separated by the lake, one on the left and the other on the right.
On the left was a handsome young man dressed in a silver robe, leisurely reclining on a deck chair, constantly fiddling with his fishing rod. Sensing the arrival of the Wind Divine Clone, the three-elemental rule avatar gently tossed the fishing rod aside and stretched lazily, muttering, "Why are you taking so long? I've been fishing here for half a year."
On the other side was a pretty red-haired woman who only glanced at Bolan when he arrived before turning her gaze back to the fishing float on the tranquil lake.
