Under the puzzled gazes of the women, Zi Yan chuckled and reached out a hand. Purple light surged from her lightly clenched palm, writhing before taking the shape of a purple dragon half a foot long.
The purple dragon lay coiled with its eyes closed. Though it was only a miniature illusion, an exceptionally terrifying draconic might faintly emanated from it.
"You peeked into the Star Domain once before, so you must have seen the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Did it look like this?"
Zi Yan raised her chin slightly, looking utterly confident, which only left the women even more puzzled.
Chen Cang laughed despite himself and obligingly nodded.
"Are you curious how I know? The reason is simple. The Three Thousand Burning Flame was raised by our clan. A long, long time ago, probably when it was still in its embryonic form, one of our predecessors discovered it. But it was far too weak back then to be of any use even if he took it, so he left a Dragon Seal inside it. That's why the Three Thousand Burning Flame grew into the shape of a dragon. The form it manifests is our clan's true appearance!"
Queen Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian both froze at this, never having imagined that the Three Thousand Burning Flame shared such a history with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Zi Yan was delighted with their reactions and turned toward Chen Cang, who belatedly put on a shocked expression as well.
"If that predecessor were still around, there would be nothing wrong with saying the Three Thousand Burning Flame already had an owner. Unfortunately, according to our clan records, he vanished without a trace during a journey through space, and there's still been no news of him. But that's fortunate for you, too.
