Chapter 184 The Black Dog Protector?
Li Lan took the arrival of the True Dragon Clan very seriously and personally went out to greet them.
Speaking of which, his connection with this clan is quite deep. His original foundation, the True Dragon Technique, came from this clan. After entering the Immortal Realm, he became the protector of the Dragon Treasure in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Later, he used the Ten Thousand Mountains to create the Thousand Rivers Land.
Although this clan now has close ties with the Celestial Court, Li Lan intends to first observe its general situation.
"We are honored that you have graced our humble abode with your presence—"
At the entrance to the Land of a Thousand Rivers, Li Lan emerged and arrived at the True Dragon Clan.
The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a royal robe embroidered with divine gold, next to a young man in purple, and behind them were two subordinates.
"You are Li Lan, the patriarch of the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan?"
The middle-aged man scrutinized Li Lan with a condescending air. As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon-like aura emanated from him and pressed down on Li Lan.
"What does this mean?!"
Beside Li Lan, Liu Ziwen and the others all changed their expressions and prepared to activate the protective formation, but Li Lan waved his hand indifferently, stopping them. A dragon's roar seemed to resound beside him, and golden dragon energy surged out, colliding with the dragon energy of this person.
It was as if two true dragons were fighting. In just one exchange, the opponent's true dragon aura seemed to be on the verge of dissipating. Li Lan stopped his own true dragon aura in time, smiled slightly, and said, "The true dragon clan is indeed worthy of its reputation."
A look of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and his expression turned somewhat ugly.
He was a powerful figure with an extraordinary status within the True Dragon Clan. Upon meeting him, he used his dragon aura, which was at the same level as Li Lan's, to test him. However, he discovered that Li Lan's True Dragon aura was so pure and powerful that it seemed to be even stronger than his own!
You should know that he is the true dragon of pure blood.
"Being able to pass the Dragon Fighting Platform means you have some skill."
He said in a deep voice, "I am Long Qingcheng of the True Dragon Clan, and this is Long Yunxiang, the younger brother of Long Yunteng, a member of my clan."
Li Lan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed these two weren't exactly core members of the True Dragon Clan, but he still extended his hand and said, "Please, gentlemen—"
Upon entering the Land of a Thousand Rivers, the True Dragon Clan members did not go directly to the main hall to discuss matters. Instead, they strolled around, offering their opinions as they went.
"This area is good, with abundant source energy. It can be used to build the Dragon Palace in the future."
A member of the True Dragon Clan pointed to a foothill and spoke.
"This river has indeed contained a wisp of dragon energy from our clan, making it very suitable as a Dragon Bathing Pool in the future!"
"Hmm, those mountain peaks are shrouded in mist and clouds, making them a perfect place for secluded cultivation. Make a note of them!"
They spoke freely, as if they were planning their own territory, oblivious to everyone else, as if they didn't see Li Lan and Liu Ziwen's presence.
Liu Ziwen's face was filled with rage. This was now the home of the Yuan Clan. What did the True Dragon Clan mean by this? Did they want to seize it?
However, seeing that Li Lan was calm and composed, he refrained from reacting for the time being.
Soon after, Long Qingcheng and the others finished their tour and entered the main hall with Li Lan.
"I've heard that the True Dragon Clan has a tradition of having two dragon sons, one outside and one inside. I wonder if the dragon son you're referring to is the outer dragon son or the inner dragon son?"
Li Lan took the initiative to ask.
One of the reasons he hasn't had a reaction is because of Longbao!
Long Bao's identity is that of an outer dragon son sent by the dragon clan to train and grow outside the clan. One day, it may return to the dragon clan and inherit everything.
"Our clan now has only one dragon prince!"
Long Qingcheng coldly replied, "The laws of outsiders have long been abolished by our clan!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lan's heart sank slightly, but she remained calm and asked indifferently, "Why?"
"This is an internal matter of my True Dragon Clan, and you have no right to interfere."
Long Qingcheng was extremely arrogant.
But Long Yunxiang sneered and said, "Fourth Uncle, what harm is there in telling him!"
"Back then, our clan chief, Long Wandao, faced a great calamity and actually left his son to a mad dog, wanting to ask that mad dog to be his protector..."
“Long Wandao not only killed his son, but also almost plunged our clan into utter ruin. Now Long Wandao has been imprisoned by our clan, and the method of the outer dragon son has been completely abolished. In the entire dragon clan, only my elder brother is the true dragon son!”
"That bastard son of Long Wandao, let alone that he was already eaten by that mad dog, even if he wasn't, he has no right to talk about the position of the Dragon Prince!"
His words were harsh, clearly intended to uphold his elder brother's authority and status.
"Yunxiang!"
Long Qingcheng's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, "Stop talking!"
What kind of talk is this about a mad dog? Is that something you can say in front of outsiders?
Upon hearing this, Li Lan's heart was instantly stirred!
He was shocked. Dragon Baby... was it deliberately left behind by its father?
Back then, when the Black Emperor went to the Ten Thousand Mountain Range, didn't he scare away the entire Dragon Clan? How could the Dragon Clan Chief at the time, Long Wandao, dare to entrust his offspring to the Black Emperor?
Moreover, the Black Emperor actually left the Dragon Treasure behind and didn't eat it.
Could it be that the Black Emperor at that time had truly stopped going mad and regained some of his sanity?
Did the Black Emperor leave Longbao behind because he was sober and unwilling to commit evil, or did he deliberately leave Longbao there waiting for someone?
These questions suddenly came to mind.
But at the same time, he felt a surge of anger!
Originally, he planned to find a suitable opportunity to send Longbao back to the Dragon Clan, but now it seems that a huge change has taken place within the True Dragon Clan, and Longbao's father has already become a prisoner.
If the existence of the dragon baby becomes known, it will likely face even greater dangers.
We can't reveal the baby dragon yet!
"Li Lan, we've inspected the place, and we're fairly satisfied with your cultivation level."
Long Qingcheng spoke directly, saying, "I'll give you three days. Take your people and, according to our plan, complete the transformation of the Thousand Rivers Land to welcome our clan. At that time, your people will be granted the title of Dragon Servants, and you can become a follower of my clan's leader—"
He was aloof and superior, and his words and actions exuded a sense of superiority, as if a superior were bestowing charity upon his subordinates!
"Too deceiving!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziwen and the others couldn't hold back any longer and spoke out angrily.
"This is outrageous!"
Long Yunxiang coldly replied, "Before my True Dragon Clan, you humans are nothing but ants. It is your honor to be made servants of the True Dragons. If you are not satisfied, your entire clan will be wiped out!"
His words were chilling, a direct threat!
With the Wanyuan Mountain Range destroyed, the True Dragon Clan has now returned and naturally needs to find a new place to live. The Thousand Rivers Land, which possesses all the earth energy of the Wanyuan Mountain Range, is the best choice.
In the eyes of the True Dragon Clan, what is the Thousand River Abyss Clan? Sending a powerful figure and a core member of the clan would easily wipe them out.
Li Lan waved his hand to stop Liu Ziwen and the others, then smiled and said, "If you all wish to come to the Land of Thousand Rivers, Li Lan would be most pleased."
Upon hearing this, Long Yunxiang sneered instantly. As expected, the human race was weak and not worth mentioning at all.
"How about this? I intend to build a beast park in the southeast. There is a shortage of spirit beasts to live there. All nobles can move in. Our clan will provide you with spirit herbs for three meals a day, ensuring that you have no worries about food and clothing. What do you think?"
He spoke leisurely.
But Long Qingcheng, Long Yunxiang and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they were furious!
Does Li Lan mean to raise them like livestock?
"You ant, you're asking for death!"
Enraged, Long Yunxiang stood up and unleashed a powerful punch at Li Lan!
He truly deserves to be called the core genius of the True Dragon Clan. His True Dragon aura is incredibly strong, and even among the forbidden beings of the Primordial Era, he is absolutely a true master!
"How dare you!"
"Guards!"
The surrounding Yuan Clan members hurriedly made their move, but before they could fully react, a figure was already flying backwards from the main hall—
"boom!"
The figure crashed heavily hundreds of meters away, sending dust and debris flying.
"Yunxiang!"
Upon seeing this, Long Qingcheng's expression changed drastically!
Long Yunxiang's strength is already at the level of a near-great power!
Although he wasn't as powerful as Long Yunteng, his bloodline power was still considered that of a core genius within the clan. Yet now, he was actually sent flying by Li Lan's single punch?!
Indeed, he had seen it clearly just now. Long Yunxiang made the first move, and when his punch was about to touch Li Lan, Li Lan also threw a punch. As a result, Li Lan remained unmoved and sat firmly in place, while Long Yunxiang was sent flying backward.
Long Qingcheng hurriedly flew out and helped Long Yunxiang up, only to see that Long Yunxiang's face was pale and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had been seriously injured!
"Li Lan!!"
Long Qingcheng was furious. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Li Lan, saying, "How dare you attack my clan?!"
"You are mistaken. It was he who first launched an attack on my Yuan Clan's territory."
Li Lan spoke calmly.
So what if they are from the True Dragon Clan? If they come with courtesy and respect, Li Lan might treat them with courtesy for the sake of the Dragon Treasure. But since they are so arrogant, Li Lan will definitely not show any mercy!
A clan cannot stand in the world by being obsequious!
"Very good, very good!"
Long Qingcheng was furious. He stood up and said, "My clan leader originally ordered that you be taken as a follower, but since you are so arrogant, you can't blame me!"
"Today, the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan shall be annihilated!"
With a roar, the power of the true dragon howled, and a white bone battle blade appeared in his hand. He slashed fiercely at Li Lan!
This battle sword was actually a divine artifact.
Just as Li Lan was about to unleash the Heavenly King Tower to deal with the situation, a black flame suddenly swept past, and wherever it went, the fierce aura emanating from the battle blade was completely burned into nothingness!
"what?!"
Long Qingcheng's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but where could he retreat? The battle blade in his hand felt scorching hot, and he subconsciously let go, but one of his arms was still ignited by black flames.
"what!"
Long Qingcheng let out a shrill scream. He was terrified and hurriedly made a knife with his left hand, slashing down with his palm, which actually severed his right hand cleanly!
I'd rather lose an arm.
Otherwise, once the fire touches his body, he will be completely burned.
An arm was instantly turned into charcoal, and even a battle sword of the Immortal Saint level was destroyed. Long Qingcheng looked up in a daze and saw a beautiful woman in a black dress walking out gracefully.
"The Great Sage of the Phoenix Clan?!"
Long Qingcheng was shocked.
There are still experts from the Phoenix Clan alive in this world!
He wouldn't care about other races, but a phoenix...
It is the only being that can be compared with the True Dragon Clan!
"Go back and tell your dragon clan that the Land of a Thousand Rivers belongs to the Abyss Clan. If you want to take it, the Dark Phoenix will fight you to the bitter end."
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix spoke, his words utterly indifferent.
Long Qingcheng's expression shifted repeatedly, his heart filled with extreme resentment.
However, he also understood that compared to a Great Sage of the Phoenix Clan, he, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, was simply no match.
So, in the end, he could only grit his teeth, turn around, and leave with Long Yunxiang.
After they left.
"The methods of the Celestial Court."
Li Lan spoke calmly.
It's no secret in the Immortal Realm that the Great Sage Phoenix Cry is stationed in the Land of a Thousand Rivers, but the True Dragon Clan only sent a powerful figure, clearly unaware of this.
Upon closer reflection, it must be because the True Dragon Clan has just returned and is still unaware of the situation in the Immortal Realm. Otherwise, if they were to actually take action, there should be a Saint-level being present to oversee things.
It's not necessarily that the True Dragon Clan was fooled by Xun Yuan Tianjun's tricks, but rather that this clan is simply too arrogant, regarding all other races in the world as nothing. In their eyes, the Thousand River Abyss Clan is even more like an ant, so how could they tolerate the Thousand River Abyss Clan damaging the Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain Range's veins?
The Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan and the True Dragon Clan are now sworn enemies!
However, it doesn't really matter.
The True Dragon Clan is conspiring with the Celestial Court to embark on a path of alienation, and Dragon Baby's father has been imprisoned... In all these respects, they will inevitably become enemies sooner or later!
……
Celestial Court.
"The Great Sage of the Phoenix Clan?"
When Long Qingcheng and the others returned and reported back, the clan leader Long Wanchuan and others couldn't help but frown.
"Whoever injures one of my people must not be let off lightly!"
"Indeed, otherwise where would the dignity of my True Dragon Clan be!"
"So what if he's a Great Sage? Don't we True Dragons have our own?"
Many powerful figures roared in anger.
Long Wanchuan said in a deep voice, "The Phoenix Clan has a very deep connection with my clan..."
He had many concerns.
"Brother Long, in my opinion, the most important thing right now is to marry the First Heavenly Maiden!"
Seeing this, Xun Yuan Tianjun took the initiative to speak, and said with a smile, "It's not too late to discuss the matter of the Thousand Rivers Land another day."
He deeply understood the essence of fueling the flames.
The Land of a Thousand Rivers and the True Dragon Clan are now enemies, but the enmity... is not enough.
It's probably not so easy to get the true dragon clan to risk their lives for this matter.
The flames of hatred between the two sides must be allowed to burn even brighter.
The marriage between the True Dragon Clan and the first Heavenly Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect was the perfect opportunity.
Xun Yuan Tianjun had already investigated and found that the relationship between Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Li Lan seemed to be quite unusual...
She wants to get married, can Li Lan just sit idly by?
Even if Li Lan has no romantic feelings for Shangguan Xiaoxiao, given Li Lan and the people behind him's consistent advocacy for war, they would certainly try to obstruct the marriage between the True Dragon Clan and the Sun Moon Sect.
Their obstruction of this marriage alliance will surely enrage the True Dragon Clan!
When that time comes, the True Dragon Clan will inevitably go to war with the Thousand River Abyss Clan, and the hidden figure behind Li Lan will definitely emerge.
That mysterious figure caused his Peach Banquet to fail miserably, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan to fall short of their goal, and even caused him to lose face in front of the Humanity Mountain... Lord Xunyuan will not be at ease until he finds out who he is.
……
"One month later, all the forbidden ancient clans will return, and the son of the True Dragon Clan will hold a grand ceremony with Shangguan Xiaoxiao of the Sun Moon Sect!"
The news has been released!
The world was shaken!
……
