Earlier, when Xiao Yan first saw the golden-robed old man, he had already sensed something in his heart. After all, Xiao Yan also contained a trace of the Dragon Clan blood in his body. Whenever a member of the Dragon Clan was in front of him, the familiar bloodline aura would make him immediately realize the other party's identity.
Of course, it's also possible that Xiao Yan had previously exhausted the power of his Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline, causing Xiao Yan current vague perception to be somewhat blurred. Therefore, he was uncertain about the old man's identity.
Similarly, the golden-robed elder noticed the trace of Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline within Xiao Yan at first glance, and he was also certain that Dragon Clan bloodline did indeed exist within Xiao Yan.
Upon confirming the old man's identity, Xiao Yan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, a feeling akin to seeing a long-lost relative.
Xiao Yan had always held a favorable impression of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and he would feel a pang of pity for Zi Yan whenever he thought of Zi Yan.
But then, just as a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face, he seemed to think of something, and in an instant, the smile that had just appeared on his face vanished, replaced by a look of apprehension as he looked at the golden-robed elder.
Only now did Xiao Yan realize that this was not the Dou Qi Continent. Although the golden-robed elder in front of him was a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, they had never met before. Who knew if the golden-robed elder would recognize that the bloodline in his body was not an ordinary Dragon Clan bloodline, but the most powerful Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline among the Dragon Clan bloodlines? If he recognized it and wanted to take it back, wouldn't Xiao Yan have to become his enemy?
Putting aside the benefits the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline brings to Xiao Yan, just the fact that it was a gift from Zi Yan is enough for Xiao Yan to not let it be taken away so easily. If the old man in the golden robe really wants to forcibly take away the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline, then Xiao Yan will fight with everything he has today to make sure that the other party leaves something behind!
However, just as Xiao Yan's mind was in turmoil, the golden-robed elder opposite him seemed to have seen through Xiao Yan's concerns, and immediately chuckled and said:
"Hahaha, brat, do you look down on me that much? Do you think I'm as stubborn as those scruffy birds of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan? As for this bloodline, unless you forcibly kill my people and seize it by force, I wouldn't bother taking it back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yan with a meaningful gaze.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smirk awkwardly. He looked up at the golden-robed elder, feeling helpless. After all, the other party was so powerful, a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and his own bloodline power was extraordinary. Who knew if the elder would be tempted by the money? It would be strange if he didn't think about it.
Noticing the golden-robed elder's gaze, Xiao Yan's expression faltered slightly, but before he could speak, the Xiao Yan -robed elder spoke again, saying:
"However, I'd like to know, where exactly did you obtain this Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline within you?"
Before the old man could finish speaking, Xiao Yan was immediately startled. He hadn't expected that the old man in the golden robe would recognize him after all!
"What Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline? This junior does not understand what you mean, senior."
"Hehe, kid, don't play dumb in front of me. Besides, I said I wouldn't take it back, and I won't. I'm just curious why you, a human, possess the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline race. This is no ordinary thing; you should understand just how important it is to my Dragon Clan!"
As he finished speaking, a solemn expression appeared on the old man's face. The Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline was extremely important to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Yet now, this bloodline power had appeared in a human. No matter what, he had to find out the origin of this bloodline first. Perhaps this would become the opportunity for his Ancient Void Dragon Clan to prosper again.
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan relaxed again, but in the end, under the old man's hesitant gaze, he slowly shook his head and said:
"I apologize, but this Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline was something I acquired by chance at an auction. No one recognized it at the time, but I happened to recognize it, so I bought it back, and so..."
Xiao Yan helplessly spread his hands, his face full of worry, as if he was powerless to do anything about it.
Upon hearing that the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline was obtained from an auction, a look of disappointment flashed across the old man's eyes. Then, seeing Xiao Yan's helpless expression, he realized that Xiao Yan's words sounded so true that he truly knew nothing about the origin of the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline within him.
However, when the old man in the golden robe looked at Xiao Yan, a very subtle glint flashed in the depths of his eyes, a glint that even Xiao Yan's amazing perception failed to detect.
"Sigh... Since that's the case, then I won't make things difficult for you. If you can't find it, you can't find it. But before that, I still hope that you can hand this little guy over to me so that I can take him back."
Changing the subject, the old man in the golden robe turned his gaze back to Xiao Jin. His cloudy old eyes were filled with an extremely determined look. No matter what, Xiao Jin was the purpose of his trip. Regardless of Xiao Yan's bloodline, he had to take Xiao Jin with him. Even Xiao Yan could not stop him from doing so.
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan frowned again, glanced at the Xiao Jin perched on his shoulder, then looked at the old man and couldn't help but ask:
"Senior, Xiao Jin's true form is merely Nine Profound Golden Lightning, which seems to have no connection with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. So why do you insist on taking him away?"
The old man stroked his beard, nodded to Xiao Yan, and said:
"You're right. His true form is merely Nine Profound Golden Lightning, which isn't particularly powerful among all lightning types. However, he possesses two qualities that no other lightning in the world has."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, his mind racing as he pondered something.
Just as Xiao Yan was frowning in thought, the Xiao Yan -robed elder spoke again, offering guidance and saying:
"What makes this little fellow different is that he also possesses the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline, though not much. But I can guess that he probably inherited it from you."
Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized what he meant. He had been through many battles before, and he had bled a lot during that time. Perhaps it was during that time that Xiao Jin Xiao Yan accidentally swallowed the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline in his body.
However, this is only one aspect. The old man in the golden robe said that there are two things about Xiao Jin that make him different from other lightning bolts. So what is this second point?
Seeing Xiao Yan's puzzled expression, the old man chuckled softly, paused, but instead of giving a direct answer, he smiled and asked Xiao Yan:
"Boy, do you know what my Ancient Void Dragon Clan is best at?"
Hearing this nonsensical question, Xiao Yan's expression froze again. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yan seemed to suddenly realize something, abruptly looked up at the golden-robed elder with a surprised expression, and exclaimed:
"I see, senior, you mean that Xiao Jin possesses the innate ability of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, allowing him to freely traverse the void?!"
