"A disciple of the Primordial Dao-Inheriting Demon-Subduing Immortal Venerable?"
The enormous eye in the void flickered slightly. Yue Wen was very familiar with this state; Da Long did the same thing when he was thinking.
In fact, the scene before him was much like his encounters in the Black-Gold Great Hall. The only difference was that Da Long was a pureblood True Dragon. Ao Yuanchi, despite cultivating to the rank of Dao Lord and surpassing the vast majority of True Dragons from ancient times in Dao practice, still had an impure bloodline.
