But... it didn't matter!
She would kill them once after they revived! She would kill them twice after they revived! It would only be a little more troublesome.
Then, she turned and left, her figure quickly disappearing!
However, the once bustling street had long since turned into a ruin and garbage dump...
In a mountain ravine on the other side...
The beautiful woman suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her face instantly turned pale!
"Husband... Husband! Something's wrong!"
Less than two minutes after she stumbled out, she burst into tears! She seemed to have suffered a massive blow and fell to the ground abruptly... tears streamed down her cheeks, her grief evident!
"Xianzhi... is dead!"
The mother-daughter connection was gone, which meant her child... was beyond saving!
The man trembled at the sound and quickly helped the woman up!
"Madam, what did you say?!"
It seemed... that female cultivator was targeting their entire family! If that was the case...
"Madam! Let's go back! I don't believe that Dragon Ancestor will always be by her side!"
...
Not long ago... in the former dwelling place of the Dragon Clan!
In the desolate caves dotting the mountainside, there were no spirit stones, not even a pearl or gold coin to be seen!
Seeing that the treasures in their territory had vanished without a trace, the dragons, who had always loved collecting valuables, were enraged!
They had only been away for a thousand years, and these scumbags from the Upper Realm dared to steal all their belongings. They truly had the audacity of a leopard.
After notifying their Old Ancestor, all the dragons waited in place, fuming with anger! Awaiting their Old Ancestor's return.
When Long Lixing arrived, he was even more furious! He had the most treasures among the entire Dragon Clan, and they had been plundered most thoroughly!
"Roar!!"
With a roar that shook heaven and earth! The man in black shot up into the sky! The black and gold light flashed intensely, and a massive dragon suddenly appeared. The divine beast's unique pressure erupted all around!
"Dragon Clan, heed my command! Those who offend our clan shall be hunted down, no matter how far!"
Instantly, the entire Dragon Clan was invigorated! Dragons took to the sky one after another, their powerful and wild bodies soaring, flying in all directions without hesitation...
Following closely, several dragons circled above the various aristocratic families and sects of the Upper Realm. Under the pervasive dragon's might, many younger disciples and servants with lower cultivation levels were shaken to the point of spitting blood!
Above the Mingquan Aristocratic Family...
"Boom!"
The black dragon landed abruptly, its deep purple eyes piercingly staring at the family head. Its cold and majestic voice echoed all around!
"Within two days, return what you stole from me! Otherwise... the Dragon Clan will make the Mingquan Aristocratic Family their first target upon their return!"
He had also suddenly remembered that on the flying boat last time, he had mentioned the Dragon Clan's treasure to that old man Qin. He hadn't paid much attention to his odd reaction then, but now it seemed... the Mingquan Aristocratic Family must have taken a considerable amount!
The old man sitting in a wheelchair at the head of the family looked up at the black dragon in the sky, his pupils contracting sharply! His mind recalled the scene of being utterly defeated a thousand years ago, and he felt utterly miserable!
"Naturally! Dragon Ancestor, please rest assured! Our Mingquan Aristocratic Family will certainly..."
Before he could finish speaking, the black dragon suddenly spat out a breath of dragon fire. A colossal gust of wind descended from the sky, sending the old man flying! He then let out a dismissive snort.
"Too much nonsense! Don't try any tricks on me! Otherwise..."
Halfway through his threatening words, a massive black dragon's tail suddenly fell, smashing directly onto a tall pavilion, "Boom!!" Instantly, the entire structure collapsed, leaving ruins everywhere! Kicking up thick smoke and dust!
"Just like this!"
After being helped up, the old man's face was a mixture of black and white. Before he could say anything, the young man beside him rushed forward directly!
"Who do you think you are, you suicidal fool! How dare you cause trouble at the main branch of our Mingquan Aristocratic Family! Today, I'll teach you what respect is!"
As soon as these words were uttered, many elders within the Mingquan Aristocratic Family were terrified to death! The old man was even more furious and looked up sternly reprimanding him!
"Yunmu! Stop your insolence!"
"I hope Dragon Ancestor will forgive us. This ignorant child spoke without thinking. I hope you..."
Before the old man's stiff apology was finished, the young man in mid-air directly retorted in shock.
"Grandfather... what are you talking about? It's just a dragon, I..."
"Shut up! Get down here now!"
The old man roared, his usually calm eyes filled with urgency and worry!
However, this only made Mingquan Yunmu more defiant! He had never seen his grandfather so flustered...
The black dragon let out a cold laugh, its laughter filled with mockery, and killing intent descended like a tidal wave!
"A mere child dares to challenge our Dragon Clan?"
Instantly, the dragon's might permeated the surroundings. The black dragon's eyes turned cold! Its claws moved with extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye, they tore through the youth's collar. With a flick of its tail, it whipped him down, sending his body crashing heavily to the ground! A human-shaped crater appeared before them...
Mingquan Yunmu... the most talented descendant of the Mingquan Aristocratic Family! A powerhouse at the first level of the Heavenly Saint realm!
Yet, he was defeated in just one encounter...
The old man's pupils contracted sharply. Didn't the rumors say his strength hadn't recovered? How was this not recovered?!
He then reacted swiftly, quickly bowing respectfully.
"Dragon Ancestor, please forgive us! Our Mingquan Aristocratic Family will return all the treasures taken at that time within two days! And we will add double the amount! My grandson was ignorant, please show mercy."
No matter what, he had to overcome the immediate crisis. Treasures or grandson, he naturally knew which was more important! It was just hateful to be the first one to face the wrath.
Hearing this, the black dragon's cold gaze swept over him and said coldly.
"Triple!"
"Pfft!"
Triple? That would drain half of the Mingquan Aristocratic Family's wealth! This was simply a blatant demand for an exorbitant price.
Thinking of this, he suddenly noticed Elder Qin standing by his side, and a flash of inspiration struck him!
"Elder Qin, please speak up for our Mingquan Aristocratic Family! Didn't you entertain Dragon Ancestor earlier?"
Old Qin, the white-bearded old man: ...
He should have stayed in the back and not come out just now. Begging for mercy? That black dragon wouldn't give him that much face, alright!
Recalling the last time on the flying boat, after he introduced them, that person and dragon had left without hesitation! Despite everyone seeing them board his flying boat, he had ended up with nothing to show for it!
Seeing that the family head was about to get angry, he could only brace himself and step forward, his smile contorted like a chrysanthemum!
"Dragon Ancestor, long time no see! Do you remember this old man? How is that fairy? It was my oversight in hospitality last time!"
Hearing this, the black dragon, high above, shifted its gaze to him, its intimidating eyes making Old Qin stiffen all over! He felt miserable in his heart! Clearly, when they first met, this Dragon Ancestor's aura hadn't been this terrifying...
Why was he so terrifying now?!
However, the black dragon paused slightly. Upon hearing him mention Jin Bao'er, its aura gradually calmed down... becoming much gentler!
"It's you! So you are from the Mingquan Aristocratic Family."
Old Qin froze! He had introduced himself last time, so didn't this Dragon Ancestor listen carefully at all!
