Xie Feng said, "It seems that sometimes rebellion isn't such a bad thing."
Nalan Yan said, "It is precisely because our ancestors intermarried with humans that this trend began, which led to the extremely powerful divine dragon bloodline being gradually covered and diluted over the long years. Now, very little of it has been passed down to me."
Xie Feng said, "The scroll says that the Divine Dragon Clan is weak, which leads to some of them being weak in combat. But when I first met you, your cultivation was not bad."
Even now, Nalan Yan possesses the cultivation level of Peak God King.
"You said..." Xie Feng suddenly had a bold idea, "Could the activity patterns you observed on the Eagle Beak Nebula just now be related to the vanished Divine Dragon Clan?"
Nalan Yan's heart skipped a beat, then he shook his head.
"A million years, a race, no matter how glorious it was in its time, will eventually return to dust with the power of time, and be forever annihilated."
"Alright, give me the scroll."
Xie Feng extended his hand.
Nalan Yan didn't understand the meaning, but he still handed it over.
Xie Feng explained, "I'm taking this as a chance. If it really is the Divine Dragon Clan, I'll use it as a token to infiltrate and take a look."
Nalan Yan said, "I hope so!"
After leaving the Divine Secrets Pavilion, Xie Feng did not stop to rest, but went straight to the outside of the Fifth Universe.
Following Nalan Yan's previous instructions, he flew towards the depths of space!
If an ordinary person were to walk this way, it would probably waste a lot of time.
He has Cross-Dimensional Converter!
Its speed far exceeds that of a starship, reaching up to a hundred times greater.
Xie Feng, dressed in a green robe, sped through the vast starry sky, the Milky Way stretching endlessly, surrounded by the mysterious chants unique to the universe.
That was the sound of storms, whirlpools, and stars.
Soon, a vast, boundless purplish-red nebula appeared before him!
It was incredibly vast!
However, in the vast universe, it is so small and insignificant.
Even Xie Feng himself felt as insignificant as a drifting object on a vast ocean.
This nebula is extremely mysterious when viewed from a distance. Its winding boundary lines resemble an eagle's beak, hence the name Eagle Beak Nebula.
He composed himself and silently stepped into this unknown realm!
He landed on a vast plain.
Looking around, all he could see was endless yellow grass, so lush it covered his waist.
On the horizon, there was a vast expanse of Dusk.
Xie Feng walked forward and saw many stone pillars standing prominently on the 30,000 hectares of land covered with withered grass and the setting sun.
The stone pillars are hundreds of feet tall, standing majestically into the sky, like warriors guarding this land.
Xie Feng walked over and saw the severe cracks on the pillar, scars left by the wind and sun over the years.
Dusk was slowly falling.
The dimmer the light, the more magical these stone pillars appear; they even emit a faint green glow.
It appears both eerie and magnificent in the wilderness.
"Wait, something's not right..." Xie Feng sensed something was amiss and carefully examined himself.
These pillars emit a very faint aura!
The kind that's passed on outwards!
If Xie Feng hadn't possessed extremely powerful soul strength, he would have been almost overlooked!
"What is this? Could it be... a signal pillar connecting the life forms living here to the outside world?"
Xie Feng began to use his imagination...
Standing here wasn't going to work, so he continued walking forward.
A strong wind blew, ruffling his clothes and hair.
There was also a faint smell of blood.
I wandered aimlessly, passing through the yellow grass.
Suddenly, he stopped!
The autumn wind was chilly, and the sunset was as red as blood. On the grass under the setting sun, a person sat alone!
He wore a straw hat and a raincoat, his clothes covered in dried mud.
He sat on the ground, his back hunched, with a pool of blood beneath him!
Xie Feng stopped and silently looked at him.
Although this person did not reveal any of his aura, his power could still be sensed!
Xie Feng thought to himself, he'd rather keep to himself and pretend he didn't see this person.
He calmly walked over, and when he reached the old man, the old man spoke, "Young man, don't go any further!"
Xie Feng frowned. "Why?"
The old man calmly said, "There's a murder going on ahead."
Xie Feng stopped in his tracks, turned around, and stared at the old man. "Where is this place?"
Divine Dragon Plains!
The old man said.
His answer surprised Xie Feng.
I wonder what the relationship is between Divine Dragon Plains and the Divine Dragon Clan!
But now is not the time to learn about the Divine Dragon Clan. It's too early and too presumptuous, and it could very well backfire.
To find out what information you need, you have to take it one step at a time.
Xie Feng looked ahead. The further he went, the closer he got to the depths of the grassland, the stronger the smell of blood became.
Who is killing people?
"You're an outsider, aren't you? This is an internal matter of Divine Dragon Plains; you don't need to know too much."
Why kill?
"Young man, there's something I think is very important to tell you."
The old man slowly raised his head, his face, etched with the marks of time, filled with the majesty and vicissitudes of life.
Xie Feng asked, "What did you say?"
The old man squinted at his right eye, which bore a scar, and grinned. "Curiosity killed the cat!"
Xie Feng let out a sigh of relief and laughed, "Why can't I be a tiger or a dragon, but instead I'm a cat?"
Upon hearing the word "dragon," the old man's expression gradually turned solemn.
"No outsiders have ever been to this wasteland before. Why are you suddenly here?"
He sized Xie Feng up and asked warily.
"I aspire to be a Cosmic Wanderer, roaming the world. Just now, I happened to discover this nebula was rather peculiar, so I came to take a look. I never expected that there would be living beings here. If I have disturbed you, please forgive me in advance!"
Xie Feng said politely.
The old man said, "A prodigal son? You... don't seem like it..."
"What's wrong with it?"
"You're too clean. Speaking of which, I recently passed by someone while traveling. This person had disheveled hair, a bad temper, and tattered clothes; he looked more like a wanderer to me."
The old man spoke with reason and evidence.
Xie Feng: "..."
After a while, the old man chuckled silently, "Haha, just kidding. Are you sure you want to go forward?"
Xie Feng said, "I want to see what kind of murder scene it is."
The old man said, "We disagree on political views."
Xie Feng asked, "Who is killing people?"
The old man said, " The North Dragon King! He is executing enemy assassins."
Who are his enemies?
" South Dragon King!"
Why did you answer every single question?
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow, wondering to himself if he was being tricked.
The old man said, "I'm tired, and I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with you. Anyway, you're going to see the North Dragon King, and it has nothing to do with me."
Xie Feng asked, "Can you take me in?"
The old man nodded. "Yes."
He said that, but his body didn't move.
Xie Feng asked, "Old man, why aren't you getting going?"
The old man said expressionlessly, "I have a limp and can't walk!"
