As Lu Fan shouted, two figures instantly clashed, and at the same time, the two divine swords converged their brilliant light, transforming into a long dragon that surged towards Dean Cang Long.
The onlookers retreated one after another, filled with fear. They were well aware of the power of these two divine swords when merged. A slight misstep could lead to their demise from the residual shockwaves.
Dean Cang Long did not retreat. Leaning on his staff, he watched the scene before him with a cold smile. "So what if they merge! In the face of absolute power, all will turn to nothingness!"
With a smile, Dean Cang Long soared into the sky, his staff held high, radiating immense brilliance wherever he passed. As the Dean of Cang Long Academy, even among the ancient sects, he was an overwhelmingly powerful existence. Otherwise, he would not have easily come to Longdu.
"Such immense power!"
The elders of the Dragon Dynasty exclaimed in shock. They could clearly feel that this powerful aura was enough to intimidate anyone present, even to the point of destroying the entire Longdu.
"Long Live the Lord!"
"Long Live the Lord!"
The people of Longdu cried out in their hearts, filled with hope, absolutely unwilling to allow evil forces to destroy the Dragon Pearl, let alone control the Dragon Dynasty.
Boom...
A colossal impact sound rang out. Before anyone could react, the entire Longdu was engulfed in a sky-piercing roar, accompanied by waves of sound that caused tremors.
In that very instant, the people within Longdu scattered and fled, even the elders had to temporarily evade the intense pressure. The two powerful energy waves were enough to destroy Longdu.
However, for some unknown reason, a mysterious force seemed to be suppressing this earth-shattering battle, preventing Longdu from being harmed in the slightest.
Following the explosion, Lu Fan and Lin Ke were forced to retreat rapidly, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths. Veins bulged on their arms, and the two sharp swords became dull and lusterless.
In contrast, Dean Cang Long remained standing in his original position. Although slightly disheveled, he had not retreated an inch. Instead, he let out a cold laugh, "Good, very good. To be able to make me this disheveled, you are already quite remarkable!"
"Dean Cang Long is a cultivator of the seventh stage of War Emperor!"
Long Yi frowned and said, "It is almost impossible to defeat him! To reach the seventh stage of War Emperor, one can look down upon all beings within the ancient sects."
Lu Fan forced a smile. He knew the disparity in strength was too great, but he also knew that if he did not act decisively, Longdu would not be saved today, nor would there be any hope, not even the establishment of the Dragon Dynasty.
"You are all defeated opponents. It's time to admit defeat!"
Dean Cang Long sneered, "However, you are indeed very outstanding!"
After speaking, Dean Cang Long intended to have Lu Fan dealt with. However, just then, a faint voice echoed, "As the Dean of Cang Long, to bully the juniors, wouldn't that be a laughing matter!"
As soon as the words fell, Dean Cang Long frowned. He had roamed the ancient sects for so many years, yet no one had dared to question him, especially with such words spoken in broad daylight.
"Who is it that dares to play tricks in front of this old man without revealing themselves!" Dean Cang Long said indifferently.
The onlookers were also filled with doubt, wondering who the hidden person was, daring to provoke Dean Cang Long.
As everyone was in confusion, outside the east city gate of Longdu, a young man appeared, gracefully dancing, holding a paper fan, dressed in ancient attire, and striding towards them.
"I am Ye Shisan! I ask for your understanding, Dean!"
Ye Shisan cupped his fists and said, "I am one who loves to champion justice. Cang Long Academy acting like this, isn't that simply too overbearing?"
"Ye Shisan?"
Dean Cang Long was slightly surprised, "Are you from the ancient Ye Clan?"
"You could say that!"
Ye Shisan nodded slightly, "Actually, I prefer it when people call me a member of the Ye family! Preferably, they should call me Young Master Ye!"
"The ancient Ye Clan has no grievances with Cang Long Academy. Why must Young Master Ye get involved!"
Dean Cang Long stated, "Moreover, what is happening today is inevitable. I'm afraid no one's face will matter!"
"Dean Cang Long truly doesn't know how to speak!" Su Dan Novel Network
Ye Shisan narrowed his eyes, "There is nothing that I, Ye Shisan, want that I cannot obtain! Moreover, what relationship does the Dragon Country, as the Dragon Dynasty, have with Cang Long Academy that you must resort to such extreme measures!"
Dean Cang Long frowned, "I already said, this matter is the business of Cang Long Academy, and it has nothing to do with the Ye Clan. I hope the Ye Clan will not interfere!"
"I also said earlier that I must intervene in today's affairs. Furthermore, I and these few have a long-standing relationship!"
Ye Shisan glanced at Lu Fan, "We five great clans have very deep bonds. How can I stand by and watch them fall into the tiger's maw!"
"Since that is the case, has Young Master Ye thought this through?"
Dean Cang Long's expression turned cold, "This is not the Ye Clan, but Longdu. If you insist on meddling, you are seeking your own death."
"What a bold statement!"
Ye Shisan took off his jacket and said coldly, "I've come to spar with you and see who is more skilled, you or I!"
Before Dean Cang Long could reply, Ye Shisan moved, exuding a powerful aura, with specks of starlight trailing in his wake.
"Is this the Young Master of the Ye Clan?"
Lu Fan muttered to himself. Compared to him, even the peerless prodigies he knew seemed to pale in comparison.
"That's right, he is the Young Master of the Ye family!"
Long Yi nodded and said, "He has been pampered since childhood and has enjoyed the best resources. It is rumored that he is the foremost among the younger generation, and even the elder experts of the ancient sects cannot gain any advantage from him."
"Is he really that powerful?"
Lin Ke exclaimed slightly, "To be able to move the Dragon Dynasty at such a young age!"
"Regardless, they are an ancient clan with the longest lineage. How could their successor be an ordinary person!"
Long Yi stated, "However, speaking of which, his arrival in Longdu today should be to help us, after all, we are also successors of the five ancient clans."
"If the Ye Clan is so powerful, why do they still need to ally with us?"
Lu Fan frowned slightly, "Could it be that even the mighty Ye Clan cannot deal with the Ghost Hall?"
"In ancient times, it took the combined efforts of the five great clans to suppress the Ghost Hall. Judging by that, it is natural that the Ye Clan alone cannot do so!" Long Yi said frankly.
While they were conversing, Ye Shisan and Dean Cang Long had already exchanged several rounds, appearing exquisite and skillful.
Dean Cang Long's strength was formidable, but Ye Shisan was a peerless prodigy with a powerful background. Dean Cang Long naturally dared not offend him lightly.
Although their positions were different, and Cang Long Academy had always been acting for the Ghost Hall, this veiled relationship remained unspoken. Normally, they would not interfere with each other. If it weren't for the matter of the Dragon Dynasty, they wouldn't have made a move so rashly.
After several rounds, Ye Shisan was clearly struggling to cope, stepping back several paces, and revealing a sinister smile.
