Chapter 805 Heading to the Beast Alliance
Ye Xuanyue stayed in seclusion here for about ten or so days.
Every day was cultivation, consolidating her realm, then more cultivation. It was extremely boring and dull.
The drop of blood that had flowed into her body was also the main cause that triggered her bloodline eruption.
Ye Xuanyue had already judged.
This blood was probably similar to the drop of blood that had merged with her body in the Cloud-Supporting Tower. It was also golden blood, and it could also fuse with her own blood—Ye Xuanyue vaguely had some suspicions in her heart.
This blood definitely had something to do with her mother’s clan’s mysterious Bloodline Power.
It might even be that drop of blood from the mural—the one that had initially caused the mutations in the Imperial Dynasty’s royal family!
Both drops of blood had now merged into her body. What consequences this would bring, even Ye Xuanyue herself could not guess.
But right now, her cultivation strength was advancing by leaps and bounds.
This was what she needed most at the moment.
So even if she knew it was poison, she could only drink it.
She would just have to find a way to undo it later.
And also…
That voice that had rung in her ears the moment her Bloodline erupted…
Ye Xuanyue always had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart.
It seemed there was something deeper hidden within this…
She took a deep breath. Completing another round of meditation, she felt her cultivation strength had become a bit more stable.
She looked at Leng Moran.
His aura also seemed to have changed subtly.
On the fifth day of Ye Xuanyue’s seclusion, Leng Moran actually broke through to the high-level Martial King realm.
His breakthrough had been very natural. Unlike Ye Xuanyue, he had no bloodline power to rely on. He depended entirely on his own strength, climbing step by step. As a result, his cultivation was far more stable than Ye Xuanyue’s.
At first, Ye Xuanyue had simply thought he was remarkable, but now, looking at this young man again, she could not help but feel a sense of awe. Leng Moran’s speed of improvement in cultivation was truly terrifying.
Even within the sect, it was nearly impossible to find another example as frightening as his. Someone without bloodline power, yet able to ascend in cultivation so rapidly—the sect itself would likely proclaim it a miracle.
After Leng Moran broke through, he stopped cultivating. He waited for Ye Xuanyue. When her cultivation finally stabilized, the two of them left that place together.
Upon coming out, Ye Xuanyue’s first thought was to find the Purple Emperor. This journey posed no real danger. She and Leng Moran, both close to the Martial Emperor Level, were no longer threatened by ordinary Spirit Beasts. Besides, the area was remote.
They hurried to seek the Purple Emperor and encountered no major troubles along the way. Whatever minor obstacles arose, she and Leng Moran handled them with ease.
Ye Xuanyue was anxious to find the Purple Emperor—but then she discovered an awkward problem. She did not know where he was. The small palace where he had met her before was already empty.
She returned to the Beast Alliance to inquire and heard a rumor that the Purple Emperor had already left. Ye Xuanyue felt helpless. If he had truly departed, what was the point of her rushing back?
Yet while his whereabouts remained unclear, Ye Xuanyue unexpectedly learned something else. She overheard people discussing it, and her heart immediately grew tense.
“I heard the Dragon Clan recently suffered a great upheaval.”
“Didn’t the Dragon Clan produce a talented descendant some time ago? That little dragon awakened an astonishing innate ability and was almost raised as the clan’s hope.”
“But for some unknown reason, it was suddenly cast into the Cold Palace overnight!”
“I heard it is now imprisoned in the coldest ice cavern of the Beast Alliance. I don’t know if that’s true or false.”
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Since this news came from the Beast Alliance, it’s about seventy percent credible.”
A flicker of coldness passed through Ye Xuanyue’s eyes. If that was the case, then no matter what, she had to investigate.
How could Qian Duoduo be living so poorly in the Dragon Clan? Hadn’t they claimed to value it highly? Or perhaps… had they discovered its Pact with her?
Whatever the reason, she had to see for herself. She could not find any trace of the Purple Emperor and did not know if he was still inside the Dark Abyss Canyon. She could only rely on luck. But Qian Duoduo’s situation was urgent; she could not delay.
…
In the Dark Abyss Canyon, within the sea of flowers, the Dark Abyss Dragon Ao Li wore an expression tinged with coldness.
“Oh?”
“Really?”
“I think Ao Feng is probably panicking this time.”
“That little dragon had discovered that its own mother was killed by him. It must have been furiously hating him, wishing it could kill him… Heh. I guessed it. Someone was bound to take action. Such a flaw was too great—other dragons would naturally exploit it. Someone must have disliked that little dragon for a long time.”
“And to think this little dragon was his most valued successor at the moment.”
“Ao Feng had been able to hold his position as Dragon Sovereign steadily because he was always ruthless and merciless.”
“Let me guess. He will either keep that little dragon imprisoned, grinding away its ferocity… or, with his methods, he might even try to find Water of Forgetfulness for it to drink, making it forget everything completely.”
“Anyway, he always had his ways. It just depended on how heartless he was willing to be. Pitiful is that little dragon.”
He lowered his head and chuckled lightly.
“I spread the news throughout the entire Dark Abyss Canyon. If the Phoenix Clan and other races hear of it, they should find it quite satisfying too. He brought this foolishness upon himself, committed so many sins. It serves him right—a grand Dragon Sovereign becoming the laughingstock of the entire Beast Alliance!”
Ao Li’s voice carried a trace of satisfaction. He threw his head back and laughed loudly, his laughter tinged with ferocity.
“Too bad I cannot leave the Dark Abyss Canyon. Otherwise, I would want to go out and watch this good show too.”
Along the way, Ye Xuanyue heard much news about Qian Duoduo. The situation indeed seemed very unfavorable. Rumors claimed it had angered the Dragon Sovereign for some unknown reason, which was why it suffered such severe punishment.
As for the Dragon Sovereign, he was said to be a highly prestigious leader within the Dragon Clan. Rumor had it his True Form was a Super Divine Beast, far superior to ordinary dragons. Coupled with the innate ability he had awakened long ago—one of the Dragon Clan’s top talents—he naturally advanced triumphantly, defeated his competitors, and became the Dragon Sovereign, effectively the ruler of the Dragon Clan.
Legend had it he had an astonishing number of descendants. But recently, that little dragon, which had gained great fame in the Dragon Clan, had appeared less than a year ago. Because of its extraordinary talent, it was highly valued by him. Yet this time, for some reason, he treated it so coldly.
Among the Spirit Beasts, there was talk that the little dragon’s future was very worrisome. The Dragon Sovereign was clear about love and hate. Once cast into the Cold Palace by him, there would be no chance of a comeback.
