Heading to Dragon City
Dragon City is a large city located in the northeastern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and it is also the largest city in the northern region of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The temperature in Dragon City is relatively low. If you continue north from Dragon City, you will reach the Far North in less than a week or even less. You can imagine how low the temperature in Dragon City is.
Dragon City was once ruled by two overlords, namely the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect. Almost all matters, big and small, in Dragon City were handled by these two forces.
The competition between these two forces is quite fierce. Perhaps since their ancestors, the two forces have been almost always at odds, each wanting to turn the other into their subordinate sect in order to make their own sect the legitimate one.
As for why the competition between the two is so fierce, it can be seen from their names. Whether it is the Heavenly Dragon Sect or the Earth Dragon Sect, the disciples under their tutelage are mainly of the dragon or Subdragon type Martial Soul. It is precisely because of this that the two are prone to conflict when recruiting disciples.
Fortunately, if an external enemy invades, these two forces, which regard each other as thorns in their side, will put aside their prejudices and join forces to fight against the enemy.
However, since the Spirit Contract Pagoda established a new branch in Dragon City, this major city, which was originally under the control of two major dragon gates, has begun to undergo new changes.
After the establishment of the Dragon City branch, Spirit Contract Pagoda began to sell its self-produced weapon Soul Tool, civilian Soul Tool, and Soul Spirit on a large scale. The people of Dragon City, having experienced the convenience of Soul Tool and Soul Spirit, began to purchase them in large quantities. This led to the Dragon City branch of Spirit Contract Pagoda becoming the new overlord of Dragon City in a subtle way.
The two dominant powers in Dragon City took different measures in response to this phenomenon.
Having personally experienced the Spirit Contract Pagoda Spirit Contract Pagoda's long-term transactions and witnessed a glimpse of its power, the Earth Dragon Sect family voluntarily became a new affiliated family of the Spirit Contract Pagoda Spirit Contract Pagoda, and their influence was greatly enhanced in the process.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect took a rather stubborn approach, opposing the establishment of a branch of the Heavenly Dragon Sect Spirit Contract Pagoda Dragon City. If it weren't for the intervention of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family and the fact that the Heavenly Dragon Sect was indeed no match for the person in charge of the Spirit Contract Pagoda to Dragon City, the Heavenly Dragon Sect would likely have tried to drive the Spirit Contract Pagoda away, and perhaps even try to acquire some combat supplies.
Of course, even so, the Heavenly Dragon Sect had no intention of yielding to the Spirit Contract Pagoda. Others may not know, but the Heavenly Dragon Sect was actually a sect passed down from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects ten thousand years ago.
Therefore, Heavenly Dragon Sect is theoretically the name used by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as a disguise. The sect leaders and successors of the sect throughout the ages have basically all possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
It is precisely because of this pride that once made the Heavenly Dragon Sect one of the Upper Three Sects that it has stubbornly targeted the Spirit Contract Pagoda of Dragon City.
The reason why the Earth Dragon Sect wasn't targeted is simply because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suffered annihilation ten thousand years ago, and the remaining members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who fled at that time were taken in by the Earth Dragon Sect.
It was only with the protection of the Earth Dragon Sect that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was able to recuperate and eventually establish the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Out of consideration for the help they had received, the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earth Dragon Gate became the rulers of Dragon City together.
Little did they know that their actions greatly displeased the Earth Dragon Sect. The Earth Dragon Sect had initially taken in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hoping that, over time, they would become part of the Earth Dragon Sect.
As a result, after they had recovered and completed one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's tasks, they joined forces with the Earth Dragon Sect to establish the Heavenly Dragon Sect. As for the matter of jointly controlling Dragon City with the Earth Dragon Sect, they treated the Earth Dragon Sect more as a subordinate force of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
This is why the Earth Dragon Sect immediately aligned itself with the Spirit Contract Pagoda, not only because of the immense power of the Silver Dragon Douluo behind the Spirit Contract Pagoda, but also to avoid the Heavenly Dragon Sect Earth Dragon Sect them as subordinates.
Of course, another reason was that, according to their investigation Spirit Contract Pagoda treated its subordinate forces quite well, and did not deliberately put on an annoying superior attitude, which is why they chose to submit to the Chiling Spirit Contract Pagoda.
Looking at the information about Dragon City, Heavenly Dragon Sect, and Earth Dragon Sect in her hand, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but sigh, "The interests between forces are always so simple yet so complex."
At this moment, Xu Xingyu was traveling to Dragon City aboard the latest transportation-themed Soul Tool created by the Spirit Contract Pagoda. Accompanying Xu Xingyu were Xu Yanxue, Gu Qiuxi, Ma Xiaotao, Xu Sanshi, Dugu Yanran, and Bai Xiuxiu.
The first two were those that Xu Xingyu had decided to bring along. Ma Xiaotao was brought along because the other party kept pestering her. Xu Sanshi was brought along because Xu Xingyu wanted to see if he was qualified to inherit the power of the Black Tortoise God. Dugu Yanran an afterthought of Xu Sanshi.
As for Bai Xiuxiu, the main consideration is that since she has become the successor of the Ice Dragon King, the opportunities in Dragon Valley will be of great help to her.
Xu Xingyu and the others' destination was Dragon Valley, but they needed to pass through Dragon City before reaching Dragon Valley. Therefore, Xu Little Xingyu began to read information about Dragon City and its forces.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao suddenly spoke up, "Xingyu, why are you suddenly sighing?"
Xu Xingyu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."
Ma Xiaotao said teasingly, "Oh, are you missing that princess? After all, she seemed to have given you a nice perk before she left."
"No, that's not it! It's about Dragon City!"
Thinking about what a certain princess had done to him before he left Shrek City, Xu Xingyu couldn't help Mingdu blush. They had been through so much together, so why wasn't he the one who took the initiative the first time?
No longer wanting to dwell on the past, Xu Xingyu could only focus her energy on information about Dragon City.
Xu Xingyu couldn't offer any commentary on the feud between the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect, since stories like this were quite common in the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, in his view, the two sides were actually evenly matched. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan used the Earth Dragon Sect to recuperate and then established the Heavenly Dragon Sect after a disagreement. The Earth Dragon Sect, on the other hand, wanted to take advantage of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's weakness to annex them.
To be honest Xu Xingyu had no desire to get involved in the conflict between the two forces. However, since the Earth Dragon Sect had officially joined the Spirit Contract Pagoda, Xu Xingyu had a premonition that she might have to get involved in the struggle between the Earth Dragon Sect and the Heavenly Dragon Sect during this trip to Dragon City.
Thinking about this, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Although resolving this dispute would probably be a quick matter for Xu Xingyu, no one likes having more work to do.
Forget it, let's just consider it as the work needed to hollow out their Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave of the Earth Dragon Sect.
