Hearing Liu Bai say this, the smile on Zhu Li's face widened as he sighed.
"Sir, your righteousness is admirable. On behalf of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, this old man thanks you!"
Liu Bai turned his gaze toward the petite figure lying quietly atop the altar and sighed inwardly.
It truly had been one twist after another, as though it were all decreed by fate.
But upon closer thought, it was also because Zi Yan herself was too weak. If she possessed the cultivation of a Dou Venerate Peak, then with the power of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, she would certainly have been able to absorb all the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. This energy solidification would never have happened.
But there was no use saying any of this now. Fortunately, he had not come unprepared.
Liu Bai withdrew his thoughts and looked at Zhu Li.
"Elder Zhu Li, since this matter requires my Heavenly Flames, we should begin as soon as possible. The longer Zi Yan lies there, the greater the risk."
At those words, delight immediately surfaced on Zhu Li's face, and he hurriedly nodded.
"What Sir says is exactly right! In that case, please follow this old man."
He paused, then pointed toward the surrounding mountains.
"During this time, the experts of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and this old man will personally guard this place. We will never allow anything to interfere with Sir. Please act without concern!"
Liu Bai followed the direction Zhu Li pointed in. With his soul perception now at the late Heavenly Realm, he could indeed sense many extremely powerful auras hidden within the surrounding mountains.
Those auras were so strong that even he felt a trace of solemnity.
The foundation of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan truly was unfathomable.
