I Am Xiao Xuan!

"Which Ancient Dragon Island? East, West, South, or North?"

Xiao Xuan pressed for an answer.

The expressions of Qian Xuan and his two companions stiffened.

Ancient Dragon Island had not appeared before the world for a thousand years.

How did he know about it?

The three exchanged glances and had no choice but to reveal their respective identities.

Xiao Xuan understood.

He was just about to kill them and devour their souls!

At that very moment.

A rift tore open in the space on the other side, and a burly man in black stepped out from within!

"I didn't expect you three bastards to beat me to it!"

Heiqing looked toward Zi Yan and warned her anxiously:

"Do not trust them, they are not good people!"

"Heh, we are here to save the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor, while you are here to kill her. Since we are enemies, it is only natural that we are not 'good people' in your eyes!"

Qian Xuan of North Dragon Island retorted, turning the tables.

"Qian Xuan! Does your conscience not ache when you say such things?!"

Heiqing gritted his teeth.

He was an eight-star Dou Venerable at the peak!

But the three opponents were two Half-Saints and one peak Dou Venerable!

He was no match for them at all!

Yet, the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor was here; he could not afford to retreat.

After speaking, he sent a sound transmission to Xiao Xuan:

"My friend, when we start fighting, please take her and leave!"

Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at Heiqing, saying nothing and giving no indication of his stance.

This caused Heiqing's heart to sink!

He could only hope to stall until reinforcements arrived!

However, Qian Xuan would not give him the chance to delay; he immediately raised his palm and pressed it downward toward Heiqing!

"We pledge our loyalty to the Dragon Emperor! Not to some conscience!"

Suddenly, a massive dragon claw reached out from the darkness above, swiping down toward Heiqing!

Heiqing gritted his teeth and had no choice but to brace himself and strike back!

Alas, the gap between their strengths was too great.

With just a single move, Heiqing was defeated by Qian Xuan!

Pfft!

Heiqing spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura weakening significantly.

"Heiqing, considering your decent strength, if you abandon the darkness for the light and join our North Dragon Island, this old man will spare your life today!"

"Dream on!"

"In that case, you shall remain here to keep the master of this tomb company!"

Qian Xuan shook his head in disappointment, endless killing intent surging in his eyes.

His figure flickered, appearing above Heiqing.

He gathered the Dou Qi within his body into his palm and slammed it down fiercely toward the top of Heiqing's head!

Yet, at that very moment.

Qian Xuan discovered that the Dou Qi within his body seemed to have solidified; no matter how he tried to circulate it, he could not mobilize even a sliver!

What was happening?

In his confusion, his peripheral vision caught a pale black finger condensing directly in front of him.

At first, he assumed it was aimed at Heiqing.

After all...

Ever since they appeared, they had postured as friends of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline, claiming to be here to protect her.

They had shown no hostility whatsoever!

Naturally, it was impossible for them to strike at him!

In fact, this finger was aimed directly at him!

Bang!

A giant finger... flicked.

Qian Xuan, a Half-Saint, was reduced to a mist of blood, like a droplet of water bursting apart.

"Emperor... Emperor Realm Soul!!"

Qian Xuan's soul body emerged, screaming in terror.

"Collect!"

Xiao Xuan remained expressionless, directly pulling Qian Xuan's soul body into the Heavenly Tomb!

Man Yan and Xia Ao were stunned senseless!

The strength to insta-kill a Half-Saint with a single strike was at least that of a Dou Saint!

This was simply not something they could contend with.

They turned and fled!

"Explode!"

Xiao Xuan clenched his palm slightly!

Bang!

Bang!

The Half-Saint Man Yan and the peak Dou Venerable Xia Ao were left without even a corpse.

Likewise, their souls were also collected by Xiao Xuan into the Heavenly Tomb.

Once he finished dealing with Zi Yan's affairs.

He would devour them along with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame!

"You... you..."

Heiqing's face turned deathly pale.

Xiao Xuan said nonchalantly, "Rest assured, I will not kill you."

Heiqing let out a sigh of relief.

"Just now, many thanks to you, my lord, for your intervention; otherwise, this humble one would have perished on the spot."

"Enough talk. Lead the way to your Ancient Void Dragon Clan."

Xiao Xuan said to Heiqing.

"Understood."

Heiqing tore open a spatial rift, revealing a strange passage filled with a faint silver light inside.

With Heiqing guiding the way, Xiao Xuan brought him and Zi Yan to the end of the passage in less than two minutes.

"Wow! The scenery here is really quite nice!"

Upon arriving at Ancient Dragon Island.

Zi Yan gazed at the lush greenery, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"I just wonder if there's plenty of good food."

Heiqing was in the middle of introducing the place to Xiao Xuan, but upon hearing this from Zi Yan, he nearly tripped and fell.

How could the Dragon Emperor's bloodline only think about eating?

At this moment, several streaks of light swept rapidly from the depths of the island.

They transformed into three figures in front of Xiao Xuan and the others.

"Elder Zhuli, I have fulfilled the mission."

Heiqing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This lord is a friend of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline."

"What Dragon Emperor's bloodline? My name is Zi Yan, given to me by Big Brother Xiao Xuan."

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, furrowed her brows, and pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

"So it is young friend Xiao Xuan. Come to think of it, your name is the same as the patriarch of a great clan from a thousand years ago. That person's strength was truly heaven-defying; I fear only our Dragon Emperor could have stood toe-to-toe with him."

As he spoke, Zhuli said with great regret, "It is a pity, though, that I heard he was ambushed by treacherous villains and fell."

"If there is no one else with the same name, I should be the very patriarch you speak of," Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

Zhuli's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief!

Although the Ancient Void Dragon Clan had not walked in the outside world for thousands of years.

Occasionally, there were clansmen who couldn't endure the loneliness and would sneak out.

They would also send people to bring them back!

Through these back-and-forth trips, they had heard some information.

The news of Xiao Xuan being ambushed by the Hun Clan was also something they had heard inadvertently during that time.

Later, to prevent more clansmen from fleeing and causing unnecessary trouble for the Ancient Void Dragon tribe, they simply sealed the passage entirely.

It was not until recently, upon sensing the emergence of the Dragon Emperor bloodline, that they decided to reopen it.

"You... are you truly Lord Xiao Xuan?"

Zhuli's expression was solemn and his tone respectful, as if he were standing before his own idol!

Heiqing was equally overcome with excitement!

Xiao Xuan nodded, then shifted the topic: "I brought Zi Yan here for two reasons: first, I promised to help her grow up; second, I gave my word to a friend that I would help your Ancient Void Dragon tribe unify!"

"Good, good, good! With Lord Xiao Xuan's help, our Ancient Void Dragon tribe will be able to return to the heights of the past!"

Zhuli was so moved he was on the verge of tears.

Xiao Xuan had no desire to listen to his drivel.

He had him lead himself and Zi Yan directly to a quiet spot on East Dragon Island.

They were all burning with curiosity, wondering what exactly Xiao Xuan intended to do.

Until...

Xiao Xuan produced the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!

In an instant, the members of the Ancient Void Dragon tribe present all wore expressions of pure shock.

The birth of a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is incredibly demanding.

It must be formed from the fusion of bloodlines after an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heaven Phoenix perish simultaneously.

It can only be refined by an inheritor of both tribes' bloodlines.

Once refined successfully, one can evolve into a Dragon-Phoenix possessing the abilities of both races!

Xiao Xuan tossed the fruit to Zi Yan.

"You can eat it now."

"Big Brother Xiao Xuan, if I eat this and still don't grow up, I won't let you off the hook."

"Wait a..."

Before Zhuli could finish his sentence, Zi Yan was already crunching away at the fruit.

Zhuli's expression turned as unsightly as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Zi Yan, you... you were too reckless!"
