Chapter 6166
The elder continued, “Long Zhan, the patriarch of the Heavenly Dragon lineage, led dozens of giant dragons out of Heavenly Dragon Valley and into Cloud Immortal City.
Now, dragons circle above Cloud Immortal City, their might overwhelming. The entire city is now under the control of the Heavenly Dragon Clan!”
“Long Zhan? He’s still alive?”
Long Yuan frowned, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Long Zhan, the patriarch of the Heavenly Dragon lineage, was his mortal enemy who had fought him for control of the dragon clan.
He had thought Long Zhan was long dead, but unexpectedly, he was still alive, and at this time, he had led the Heavenly Dragon Clan out of the mountains.
“Chief, this is a golden opportunity!”
an elder exclaimed excitedly. “Now that Long Zhan has emerged from seclusion, we can seize this chance to attack and wipe them out in one fell swoop! Those remnants of the Heavenly Dragon lineage have been hiding for so many years, and they’ve finally come out. This is a godsend!”
“Yes! Chief, let’s send out our troops! Let’s slaughter them without leaving a single one alive!”
“Those Heavenly Dragon scum have been hiding for so many years; it’s time to settle our scores!”
In an instant, the hall was filled with fervor, and several elders volunteered for battle, their eyes filled with killing intent.
They had sided with the Demon Clan, and if it weren’t for Long Zhan and the other legitimate Heavenly Dragons, they would be the true dragons.
But now, they were called Demon Dragons, a disgrace.
Therefore, they all wanted to kill all the dragons as soon as possible, so that in the entire Fourteenth Heaven, only they, the dragons, would remain.
At that moment, they would be the true dragons!
Long Yuan, however, remained silent.
He slowly sat back in his main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, he raised his head and looked at the elder in charge of intelligence: “You just said that the Heavenly Dragon Clan has entered Yunxian City? Whose territory was that city before?”
The elder hurriedly replied, “Reporting to the chief, Yunxian City was originally the territory of the Temple. However, the Temple’s control was relatively weak, so it was jointly managed by the Wu family and the Chen family.
Not long ago, the Chen family was destroyed by the Wu family with the help of the Temple. Later, Kai appeared, destroyed the Wu family, destroyed the Temple’s branch hall, and took control of Yunxian City. Now, he has Long Zhan lead the Heavenly Dragon Clan to enter Yunxian City, but he himself has disappeared without a trace.”
A glint flashed in Long Yuan’s eyes: “Kai… it’s him again.”
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance outside the hall.
“Chief, let’s send troops!” an elder once again requested.
Long Yuan shook his head.
“No rush.”
The elders were taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances.
Long Yuan slowly spoke, “Have you considered why Long Zhan would emerge from seclusion at this time?”
He turned to the elders, “It’s because of Kai. That young man with the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor. Since Long Zhan is willing to lead the Heavenly Dragon Clan out of seclusion and into Yunxian City, it means he has already acknowledged Kai’s identity. In other words, Kai truly possesses the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor.”
The elders’ expressions changed.
Long Yuan continued, “Why did the Temple come to us for cooperation? It’s because they can’t handle Kai. A mere third-grade Upper Immortal cultivator can leave the Temple helpless. Do you think that’s normal?”
He paused, his tone becoming more serious. “No, it’s not normal. This shows that Kai does indeed have the Dragon Clan backing him. Moreover, the fact that Long Zhan brought the Heavenly Dragon Clan out of the mountains indicates that Kai’s status within the Dragon Clan is higher than we imagined.”
An elder frowned and said, “Chief, what you mean is…”
Long Yuan said in a deep voice, “What I mean is, now is not the time to fight the Heavenly Dragon Clan. Since Long Zhan dared to come out of the mountains, it means he’s prepared.
If we act rashly, we’ll only fall into their trap. What’s more, the Temple is also watching us closely, waiting for us and the Dragon Clan to both suffer heavy losses.”
He turned around and looked at the gray sky outside the hall, his tone becoming increasingly solemn.
“That Kai… destroyed three sacred mountains of the Divine Temple and killed three True Immortal Realm elders. His strength and courage are extraordinary. The fact that he could make Long Zhan submit and the Heavenly Dragon Clan leave the mountain shows he truly possesses exceptional abilities.”
“Now, what we need is patience.”
The elders remained silent, though unwilling, they understood their leader’s reasoning.
One elder asked in a low voice, “Leader, what should we do next?”
Long Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, “I need to go to the depths of the Demon Realm to see that great figure of the Demon Clan.”
The elders’ expressions changed.
“Chief, are you going to find the Demon Clan?”
Long Yuan nodded. “This matter is far too complex for us to decide alone. The Dragon Emperor’s bloodline has reappeared, the Heavenly Dragon Clan has emerged, the Divine Temple is eyeing us covetously… all of this requires careful consideration. I need the Demon Lord’s opinion, and I also need the Demon Clan’s support.”
He paused, his tone firm. “Before I return, no one is to act rashly. Continue to monitor Cloud Immortal City, monitor Kai’s every move. But don’t alert him.”
“Yes!”
the elders responded in unison.
Long Yuan turned around, gazing into the distance, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
