"Master... I missed you so much."
Taking in the fragrance that filled his nose and the trembling voice tinged with grievance, Hun Changqing froze at first. Then a gentle smile appeared on his face, one even he failed to notice.
As his only disciple, Zi Yan had been taught almost entirely by him and depended on him immensely. This time, he had vanished without warning for so long that it was easy to imagine how anxious and distressed she had become.
"This time, it was my fault."
Hun Changqing's voice was soft as he apologetically rubbed Zi Yan's head.
"Stupid Master. I'm not forgiving you."
Zi Yan refused to relent. With a little huff, she tightened her arms around him.
Hun Changqing did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The experts of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan covered their faces and sighed at the sight, feeling that Zi Yan had thoroughly disgraced their clan this time.
Only now did everyone present belatedly realize that Zi Yan was the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragons.
At once, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Good heavens! Their Elder Ghost Soul had swept up both the Phoenix King and the Dragon Emperor of the two supreme beast clans, the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and the Ancient Void Dragons, in a single net!
Did that not mean Hun Changqing alone could speak for both the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?
Immediately, a strange gleam flashed through the eyes of the Soul Clan's Venerable Elders, who had previously been wavering between Hun Changqing and Hun Tiandi.
Likewise, on the platform, Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes as he watched Zi Yan hanging off Hun Changqing. An almost imperceptible dark gleam flashed through those narrow slits and vanished.
