"Patriarch?"
Hearing Ao Bing's words, the Golden Dragon clone glanced at him, then said with disinterest, "Not interested."
Ao Bing was taken aback. He hadn't expected his savior to refuse so decisively. However, Ao Bing didn't know that the Golden Dragon clone was completely indifferent to the so-called Dragon Patriarch.
Swish~
While they were talking, Ye Xuan and the little black dragon, who was following the dragon aura, arrived on the scene.
"This kid... is from the dragon race?"
Before Ye Xuan could speak, the little black dragon's gaze fell on Ao Bing. He had to admit that this was the first person from the dragon race he had seen besides his master's clone.
Moreover, the bloodline concentration seemed quite good.
However, upon seeing the little black dragon, Ao Bing's pupils suddenly contracted. Good heavens, this was another being with a higher bloodline level than his father, and he appeared to be around the same age.
But...
Then Ao Bing's gaze was drawn to the spatial ring worn on the little black dragon's hand. "The Dragon Patriarch's ring, this..."
Plop~
In the next moment, Ao Bing immediately knelt on one knee, "Ao Bing greets the Patriarch!"
The little black dragon was stunned.
"Patriarch? Don't just call me that."
"It's the correct Patriarch."
Ao Bing then excitedly stared at the spatial ring on the little black dragon's hand. "The ring you're wearing is the symbol of our dragon race's past patriarchs, and only one chosen by the previous patriarch can be recognized as its master."
Hearing Ao Bing's words, Ye Xuan looked at the little black dragon and couldn't help but think of the skeleton beneath Dragon God City. Could it be... that skeleton was the previous patriarch of the dragon race?
Although it was just a guess, he could be seventy to eighty percent sure.
Meanwhile, the little black dragon fell silent. When he received the energy from that corpse, he also received its final consciousness, which told him to take care of the power associated with this ring when he had the ability. However, it didn't explicitly state that this power was the dragon race.
For a moment, the little black dragon was genuinely bewildered.
Ao Bing thought about the current situation of the dragon race and sighed deeply. "Patriarch, you may not know, but ever since the previous patriarch fell, the dragon race has been leaderless, completely scattered. Furthermore, the Hong Meng Holy Kingdom has been suppressing us openly and secretly, leaving the dragon race in a precarious situation."
"If no one unifies the dragon race, I fear it won't be long before the dragon race is annexed by the Hong Meng Holy Kingdom. At that time... the entire dragon race will become prisoners, at the mercy of the Hong Meng Holy Kingdom."
After their conversation, even the Golden Dragon clone furrowed his brows. It was clear that he hadn't expected the dragon race's situation to be so dire. As a fellow member of the dragon race, he naturally didn't want to see the dragon race decline, and neither did the little black dragon.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yuan Zitian, using an escape talisman, returned to the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom in a distressed state, his face grave.
He immediately went to the Wei family, where his maternal clan resided.
"Grandfather!"
Upon arriving at the Wei family's main hall, Yuan Zitian called out to Wei Tongtian, the current head of the Wei family and the father-in-law of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom's Emperor.
Wei Tongtian was no ordinary man, possessing the strength of a seventh-tier Immortal Lord, making him a top-tier expert even within the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom.
"Zi Tian?"
Seeing his grandson, Wei Tongtian was taken aback, as he noticed his grandson's unusual state. "Weren't you going with your uncle to capture that blue dragon that was accidentally discovered? Why are you back?"
"Grandfather, I can't reach my uncle right now. You don't know..."
As he spoke, Yuan Zitian exaggerated his experiences along the way, especially the part where his uncle told him to leave at the end.
Upon hearing this, Wei Tongtian's heart sank to the bottom!
"What did you say!"
"You clashed with the Xuan Alliance? How dare you!!"
Immediately, Wei Tongtian transmitted a message to his son, Wei Wuji. It was obvious that there was no response. One must know that Wei Wuji was very afraid of his father. Even if his life was in danger, he would not fail to respond.
This led to the conclusion that his son might have... encountered danger.
"Scoundrel!"
Wei Tongtian's eyes surged with killing intent. "Well done, Xuan Alliance! To dare to harm my Wei Tongtian's son, you are seeking death!!"
As one of the ten great aristocratic clans of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom, any single one of them possessed power that surpassed most eighth-grade forces. This was because the ten great aristocratic clans of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom were all guarded by peak ninth-tier Immortal Lords. One could say that with just one more step, these ten great aristocratic clans would possess the strength of a ninth-grade force.
Of course, the Wei clan, as one of the ten great aristocratic clans, was no exception!
Wei Wuji, as Wei Tongtian's son, was also the "Lu Tian Wang" (Slaughtering Heaven King) of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom and the predetermined successor of the Wei clan.
Now that Wei Wuji was dead, it was an unprecedented blow to the Wei clan!
If the Wei clan could not produce another genius like Wei Wuji in the future, then... in a few years, the Wei clan would surely fall to the bottom of the ten great aristocratic clans, and there was even a possibility of falling out of the top ten altogether.
"Xuan Alliance, no matter who is behind it, they must die!"
Following this, Wei Tongtian informed the old ancestor of the Wei clan. The old ancestor was immediately enraged, as Wei Wuji was too important to their Wei family.
Moreover!
As one of the ten great aristocratic clans of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom, with their predetermined heir now killed, if they didn't make a move, their Wei clan's authority would be completely lost.
In addition, if the other nine great aristocratic clans learned of this matter, they would undoubtedly mock and rejoice.
Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, they had to kill that person, and it would be best to destroy the Xuan Alliance as well, regardless of whether that person was from the Xuan Alliance.
Only then could they deter all parties!
...
Two days later, the Xuan Alliance headquarters, Haotian Immortal City, remained eerily calm, with no fluctuations whatsoever.
However!
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this was merely the calm before the storm.
Finally, at dawn on this day.
Rumble~
From the distant horizon of Haotian Immortal City, a terrifying and suffocating pressure rolled in, causing everyone to look towards the distant sky with their hearts pounding.
"It's finally here!"
"With such might, the person coming must be extraordinary!!"
Chis~
As the crowd was in a heated discussion, over a thousand sky-obscuring flying ships appeared before Haotian Immortal City. This was a deliberate move by the Wei clan, as they intended to silence everyone with this battle.
The might of the Wei clan could not be violated!
Otherwise... they would inevitably bear the wrath of their Wei clan.
At this moment, on the foremost flying ship, a figure stood tall. This person was none other than the peak ninth-tier Immortal Lord ancestor of the Wei clan, Wei Tianlai. Then, a booming voice echoed, "Xuan Alliance, you killed Wei Wuji of my Wei clan. Today is your day of death!!"
