The strongest ally!
"Senior Zhukun, is this truly the case?"
Because of his inner excitement, the surface of the Energy Body that Xiao Lin had created began to fluctuate.
"What a joke! I always keep my word! As long as I can confirm with my child that what you just said is true, I will grant you whatever you ask!"
Zhukun waved his sleeve with considerable authority and spoke.
Come to think of it, given Zhukun's status and his pride as Old Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, he wouldn't possibly deceive a junior like Xiao Lin on such a matter.
It's important to understand that people of higher status tend to value promises more.
"Alright! Senior Zhukun, I will bring Zi Yan over soon, but there are some things we need to discuss first! Whether you are willing to help me improve my strength is another matter, but I need you to unconditionally help me deal with the Hun Clan after you are freed!"
Now that things were out in the open, Xiao Lin didn't want to hide anything anymore.
To be honest, even Xiao Lin, who had read the Original Work, dared not say for sure just how strong the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was.
After all, the Original Work describes how, due to internal strife, many of the older generation of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan did not want to participate in the conflict and instead chose to roam the Void.
This led to internal strife among the Ancient Void Dragons. Although it involved the Four Great Dragon Islands, those involved were actually only some Lower-Level Dou Sheng of one to Three-Star Dou Venerable, and many Ancient Void Dragons who were not even Half-Saints.
But is this truly the full power of the Ancient Void Dragon?
That's clearly not the case.
Keep in mind that even the strongest member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan at that time wasn't as powerful as Huang Tian, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Isn't that absurd?
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix's predecessor, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, was meant to rival the Ancient Void Dragon. However, during the internal strife within the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, the Dragon Kings of the Three Great Dragon Islands, excluding the East Dragon Island, only possessed the cultivation of Three-Star Dou Sheng. This truly caused a mess!
Oh, by the way, before Zi Yan returned, East Dragon Island was the weakest of the Four Great Dragon Islands...
In other words, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan of the Void at that time might not even be as strong as the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Is that possible?
Therefore, Xiao Lin can make a bold guess.
The senior members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, who were mid-to -High-Level Dou Sheng, all chose to roam the Void and live in seclusion because they did not want to participate in this internal strife.
This actually seems more reasonable.
Otherwise, as the only Monster Supreme on the Dou Qi Continent today, the number of Dou Sheng Expert would be so low that it would be quite out of line!
Therefore, if the situation of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is indeed as Xiao Lin guessed...
So, if the Old Dragon Emperor Zhukun were to return, he believed that the other party would definitely be able to summon back all the Ancient Void Dragon who had been roaming the Void seclusion.
At that time, the strength of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan will definitely not be weaker than that of the Hun and Gu Clans!
With such an ally, why would Xiao Lin need to hide or fear the Hun Clan?
Dream on!
This is arguably the main reason why Xiao Lin risked contacting Zhukun this time.
As for the rest, such as what Zhukun mentioned about helping him improve his strength, Xiao Lin considered them secondary.
Because if Zhukun escapes his predicament ahead of time and recalls the older generation of Ancient Void Dragons who roam the Void seclusion, then the Dou Qi Continent will no longer be a battle between the two powers of Hun Gu, but will have to add the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, forming a three-way balance of power!
In this way, Xiao Lin even felt that if he planned it well, he could have killed the troublemaker, Hun Tiandi, ahead of time!
That would be so comfortable.
From now on, everyone can go back to their own homes, develop peacefully, and everything will be fine.
Of course, all of this is contingent on Zhukun escaping his predicament beforehand...
"The Hun Clan, huh? I never imagined that an Emperor Clan that wasn't particularly strong back then had grown to this extent."
Having heard Xiao Lin describe the current state of the Dou Qi Continent before, Zhukun now has a certain understanding of the Hun Clan.
This is an Emperor Clan that may be even more powerful than the Ancient Void Dragon Clan he once led!
But so what?
Compared to the freedom that comes with escaping, Zhukun has no reason to be afraid of a mere Hun Clan member!
"So, Senior Zhukun, what do you say?"
Seeing Zhukun deep in thought, Xiao Lin spoke again in a deep voice.
"Is there even a question? I have no reason to refuse!"
A smile spread across his face, and this time, Zhukun's answer came without the slightest hesitation!
Thus, the verbal agreement between the two can be considered to have been reached.
Even though it was just a verbal agreement, it was enough to make Xiao Lin happy.
Because, for him now, as long as he does his best to help Zhukun escape his predicament, neither he nor the Xiao Household will need to worry about the crisis brought by the Hun Clan anymore.
"Alright! Senior Zhukun, I'll go and bring Zi Yan over to join you!"
After saying that, Xiao Lin prepared to leave.
Clearly, Xiao Lin wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
"Ahem~, no rush, um, what's your name again? I have a question for you."
Just as Xiao Lin turned to leave, Zhukun coughed twice, then awkwardly called out to him.
Xiao Lin: "..."
It was only at this moment that Xiao Lin realized that he seemed to have forgotten to introduce himself from beginning to end.
"Lin Xiao, this is my name. Senior Zhukun, do you have any other questions?"
After introducing himself, Xiao Lin looked at Zhukun was behaving somewhat strangely, and asked him a question.
However, as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Zhukun's old face suddenly turned red.
No, why are you blushing like a teapot?
What could possibly make you, the Old Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, blush?
Xiao Lin was puzzled.
"Hmm~, Lin Xiao, right? Actually, I wanted to ask you if there's anything I need to prepare when I meet Zi Yan later?"
When Zhukun asked that question, her face was flushed, and she turned her head to the side.
Oh, only at this moment did Xiao Lin reveal an "I see" expression.
It's like the old dragon Zhukun doesn't know how to face his daughter!
He was right, how could an ancient dragon, who knows how many thousands of years old, blush for no reason?
Since it involves his daughter, whom he has neglected, everything seems perfectly reasonable.
"Hehe, Senior Zhukun, actually I think you should relax a bit, be more natural in your expression, and most importantly, as long as you treat Zi Yan with sincerity, I believe that little girl will gradually accept you."
After all, being trapped here wasn't your intention, was it?
Xiao Lin then smiled and offered a few words of comfort to Zhukun.
To be honest, Xiao Lin could understand Zhukun's feelings at this moment.
Because he was trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, his daughter suffered from stunted growth from a young age, did not receive the inheritance she deserved, and was bullied in various ways. How could he not feel guilty?
But deep down, he longed to see his daughter.
Therefore, Zhukun's inner feelings were a mixture of excitement and trepidation!
As Xiao Lin finished speaking, Zhukun fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he finally raised his head again and looked in the direction where Xiao Lin was.
"I think I understand something now, Lin Xiao, thanks!"
Zhukun nodded solemnly, pointing towards the location of Xiao Lin's Main Body.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
Without lingering, Xiao Lin stepped directly out of the space created by the Tou She Ancient God.
