Candle Flame Requests Aid
When Xiao Han returned to the Langya Pavilion, he was met with Yi Huang's solemn gaze.
"The Void Ancient Dragon Tribe the Void has sent people." Before Xiao Han could ask, Yi Huang immediately said.
"The Ancient Void Dragon Clan? Eastern Dragon Island or some other Dragon Island?"
"Grand Elder of Eastern Dragon Island, Candle Flame! Moreover, his condition doesn't seem to be good."
"It seems this matter is quite serious!" Xiao Han stroked his chin and murmured.
Although the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun and his successor Zi Yan have been found on Eastern Dragon Island, the former is trapped in the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode and cannot move, while the latter is not mature enough.
Therefore, the actual power holder on Eastern Dragon Island is still the Grand Elder, Candle Flame. Faced with the mess Void Ancient Dragon, Candle Flame is already overwhelmed and would not have come here personally unless absolutely necessary.
"Then let me go and receive them," Xiao Han said, walking towards the main hall.
Upon entering the main hall, the first thing you see is the dim glow of the Candle Flame, clearly indicating that the other person has not been having a good time lately.
"This old man has met the Ice Saint!" Noticing Xiao Han's arrival, Candle Flame hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Xiao Han responded briefly, then examined the Candle Flame and frowned, saying:
"Elder Zhu Huo seems to be in a bad mood? If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, Candle Flame Huo visibly breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Ice Saint."
"Since that's the case, I'll be frank. My clan is indeed facing a difficult situation, and His Majesty specifically sent me to request the assistance of the Ice Saint."
"Since it is Senior Zhu Kun's request, I will not refuse," Xiao Han said with a smile.
"Please explain in detail, Elder Zhu Huo."
"Then thank you very much." Candle Flame composed himself, then his face flashed with intense indignation as he coldly said:
"This matter is also related to those three traitors from our clan..."
In half an hour, Candle Flame recounted in detail the many events that had occurred in the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe during this period, and Xiao Han gradually understood the causes and consequences.
Simply put, the Three Great Dragon Kings, seeing Eastern Dragon Island's booming development, couldn't contain their excitement and started causing trouble for Eastern Dragon Island again.
Unlike in the past, this time the Three Great Dragon Kings seem to be serious. In recent days, with the North Dragon King's coordination, their united momentum has become increasingly powerful, which is something that the Eastern Dragon Island, which has not yet fully risen, cannot contend with.
After much deliberation, Candle Flame once again thought of Xiao Han, the best partner for the Void Ancient Dragon.
"Although Princess Zi Yan has grown into Ninth Order Magical Beast with the help of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and His Majesty's nurturing, her strength is still far behind that of the Three Great Dragon Kings."
"Therefore... I earnestly request your assistance," Candle Flame said solemnly, bowing deeply.
"Elder Zhu Huo, there's no need for such formalities," Xiao Han said, helping Candle Flame, who was almost kneeling before him, to his feet.
"They are just the Three Great Dragon Kings. I will accompany the Elder on this trip."
"Thank you very much then." Candle Flame felt relieved.
"The Three Great Dragon Kings are nothing more than a minor ailment, a trivial matter..."
At this moment, Xiao Han changed the subject, saying with a half-smile, "However, it seems Elder Zhu Huo has something else to say!"
The Candle Flame paused for a moment, then sighed:
"The Ice Saint is right. If the Three Great Dragon Islands were to join forces to invade, even if my Eastern Dragon Island were no match for them, we would not let them gain any advantage."
"Another batch?" Xiao Han's expression changed slightly.
"Is Heavenly Demon Phoenix or the Nine Netherworld Earth Python?"
Candle Flame shook his head in denial, saying disdainfully, "We don't even consider those guys a threat."
This is the pride that the Void Ancient Dragon, as the Supreme Magical Beast, possesses in its bloodline. Although, excluding Zhu Kun, the Void Ancient Dragon is not much stronger than the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the bloodline suppression still exists.
Moreover, he was hoping that the Three Great Dragon Kings would lose their minds and invite those two clans as outsiders. In order to compete for the throne, they would actually invite wolves into the house. Even if they were eloquent, they would be despised by the vast majority of their clansmen.
Candle Flame frowned deeply and said solemnly, "To my shame, we don't know anything about their background."
The moment the words left his mouth, the Candle Flame seemed to sense something, turning its head to meet Xiao Han's complex gaze, the meaning of which was rather clear.
"You don't even know who your opponent is? Are you serious?"
Old Man Huo blushed. This situation was indeed inconsistent with the status and strength of the Void Ancient Dragon, but there was nothing he could do about it!
He hurriedly explained, "That group of people is very strange. At least I, the Void Ancient Dragon, have never had any record of them."
"Moreover, their whereabouts are secretive, and their origins are a mystery, making them quite troublesome!"
Xiao Han became interested. "Tell me about it!"
Candle Flame nodded and said in a deep voice, "The opponent's cultivation level is not too high, the strongest of whom is only around Three-Star Dou Sheng, but their abilities are very strange."
He then said:
"According to the strong members of the clan who have fought against them, they seem to be able to manipulate people's emotions and disrupt the rhythm of battle."
Even after the battle ends, people will remain in a state of anxiety and rage for a long time.
"Even our Second Elder couldn't resist that influence."
"Because of their presence, our combat strength has been reduced by at least 30%."
"What's even stranger is..." The Candle Flame revealed a deep sense of dread.
"While weakening us, the people of the Three Great Dragon Islands were also influenced by them, becoming quite fearless and ruthless."
"Oh, this is interesting." Xiao Han felt a vague sense of familiarity with the mysterious power that the Candle Flame had mentioned.
Xiao Han smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Elder Zhu Huo. I will depart immediately after I have finished explaining the affairs of the pavilion in half an hour."
"Thank you, Your Excellency. My Void Ancient Dragon Tribe will forever remember your kindness," Candle Flame said solemnly.
"Elder Zhu Huo, there's no need for further words. I simply made a prior agreement with Senior Zhu Kun to safeguard the peace of Eastern Dragon Island."
After bidding farewell to the Candle Flame, Xiao Han approached Yi Huang.
"What's wrong?" Yi Huang was studying a Scroll at the moment, which seemed to be an Ancient Pill Formula.
Noticing Xiao Han's arrival, he didn't put down the Scroll in his hand, but simply smiled and said, "What brings you here specifically to give me this explanation?"
Unlike his usual casual demeanor, Xiao Han spoke with a slightly more serious tone, "This matter might be a bit troublesome, and I may need to take a little longer."
"Trouble?" Yi Huang finally raised her head, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Is there a problem with the Void Ancient Dragon?"
Xiao Han shrugged, smiled, and said ambiguously, "Maybe, it's just a strange intuition."
"Maybe I'm just overthinking it."
Xiao Han's words did not dispel Yi Huang's worries. She knew very well what kind of person he was. If it were just an ordinary rescue matter, Xiao Han would not have said a word and would have just left.
From this, it seems that Xiao Han may have already sensed something, but just didn't want to worry anyone.
With that thought, Yi Huang put away her serious expression and smiled, "Then be careful, nothing will happen here."
"Of course we can rest assured," Xiao Han said, equally unperturbed.
Having said that, he turned and left.
Yi Huang lowered her head again to study the Scroll in her hand, only her slightly pale palms revealing the turmoil in her heart.
