374: Chapter 374 Ao Sihai, Dragon Knight

The Dragon Clan Supreme looked at the newly appeared golden dragon and smiled. "With one-third of your Dou Qi, you can summon the dragon closest to you. Their strength will be similar to yours. Once the Dragon Clan arrives, they will assist you in any situation that isn't certain death!"

Hun Tiandi said excitedly, his dark eyes flashing with excitement as he looked at the prostrate golden dragon.

"Hahaha, a human emperor should be like this. Summoning the Dragon Clan for assistance must be within the limits of one's strength..." The Dragon Clan Supreme looked at Hun Tiandi.

"Thank you!" Hun Tiandi said sincerely.

"Since the Dragon Clan has become the national beast of the Dazheng Dynasty, every year the Dragon Clan will send a large number of dragons to reside within your Dazheng Dynasty!"

"If someone can convince a golden dragon, the Dragon Generals wouldn't mind conquering the world with them either!"

The Dragon Clan Supreme said.

Hun Tiandi felt as if another massive piece of cake had been thrown his way. This was allowing him to train dragon knights; when the time came, an army of dragon knights would conquer the world.

At that point, he could simply sweep across everything.

"Normally, once the contract is formed, it can protect ten generations of your descendants, allowing them to summon the Dragon Clan. Use this power wisely!" the Dragon Clan Supreme said solemnly.

"Yes!" Hun Tiandi replied.

"Once the contract is established, the Dragon Clan will share the destiny of your Fortune Dynasty. May your dynasty reach the pinnacle of power!" the Dragon Clan Supreme said.

"Thank you, Senior!" Hun Tiandi responded.

Roar...

Beside them, the Little Golden Dragon let out a tender dragon roar, calling out.

"You must return to the Dragon Palace unless you advance to the Dou King level!" the Dragon Clan Supreme said to the Little Golden Dragon.

Although he spoke in human tongue, the Little Golden Dragon seemed to understand as it swam through the air around them.

"Do not summon the Little Golden Dragon unless it reaches the Dou King level!"

Initially, Hun Tiandi had taken notice of the Little Golden Dragon, thinking that if he could summon it to command the Dragon Clan, but with the Supreme speaking up, he could only extinguish that thought.

The Little Golden Dragon looked quite reluctant.

"Cultivate well. Won't it be enough if you just promote to Dou King sooner? Once you reach the Dou King level, all the dragons in the world will know, and Hun Tiandi will know as well. Then you can come out!"

The Dragon Clan Supreme said kindly.

The Little Golden Dragon hung its head, looking unhappy.

The Dragon Clan Supreme turned his head to look at Dragon King Ao Guang behind him and said solemnly, "Ao Guang, you stay in the Dazheng Dynasty. In the future, you will preside over the Dragon King Hall and follow Hun Tiandi's orders!"

"Yes, Supreme. Ao Guang obeys!" The purple-robed Dragon King Ao Guang said respectfully, showing great reverence for the Dragon Clan Supreme.

"Alright, Xiao Jin, let's go!" the Dragon Clan Supreme said to the Little Golden Dragon.

The Little Golden Dragon was somewhat reluctant to leave. It swam down to nuzzle against Hun Tiandi's feet before flying to Dragon King Ao Guang and letting out a roar.

Dragon King Ao Guang looked at the Little Golden Dragon, then at Hun Tiandi, and said, "The Little Golden Dragon said to wait for him. He will come looking for you once he advances to Dou King!"

Hun Tiandi looked at the Little Golden Dragon with joy and nodded slightly.

"Safe travels, Senior!" Hun Tiandi said. The Dragon Clan Supreme finally added, "Since you have signed the Dragon Clan contract, there is no need to call me Senior anymore. My name is Ao Sihai!"

After saying that, as Supreme Ao Sihai prepared to leave with the Little Golden Dragon, Hun Tiandi's gaze fell upon the young girl beside him, Tianxin!

"Miss Tianxin, may we have a word?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Oh?" Tianxin said warily. This man had saved her life once, which was why she hadn't invoked her curse.

"I have something to give to you!" Hun Tiandi said with a serious expression.

"You would be so generous?" Tianxin asked, unconvinced.

"I asked someone to obtain this at a great cost. I think it is more appropriate to give it to you. Although you have never met him, you must have seen portraits or things he left for you!"

"You should know his appearance. It's him!" Hun Tiandi said solemnly.

"Who?" Tianxin frowned slightly.

With a wave of his hand, an Ice Coffin appeared before Hun Tiandi. Before the others could see clearly, Tianxin's eyes widened, and she swept it into her storage ring with a flick of her hand, her eyes fixed intently on Hun Tiandi.

Taking several deep breaths, Tianxin asked coldly, "How did you get this?"

"Why don't you ask the Horned Dragon that once carried him?" Hun Tiandi said.

"It was cursed to death by me!" Tianxin said bluntly.

"My apologies. I have my ways. Giving it to you now can be considered making a friend."

"Let's go!" Tianxin took a deep look at Hun Tiandi and spoke to the Dragon Clan Supreme, her mood having turned quite poor.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Dragon Clan Supreme disappeared from Longevity Hall.

Dragon King Ao Guang asked in confusion, "Hun Tiandi, what was that?"

"Something that belongs to Tianxin!" Hun Tiandi said.

Watching the Dragon Clan Supreme disappear, Hun Tiandi sighed slightly. He turned to look at Dragon King Ao Guang in the hall and the summoned golden dragon.

"The Supreme has ordered me to follow your commands. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, you may make requests!" Dragon King Ao Guang said.

Hun Tiandi looked at Dragon King Ao Guang and quickly adjusted his position.

"In the future, shall I call you 'Ao Guang'?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Of course. You can even call the Supreme by his full name, so there is naturally no need for formalities with me!" Dragon King Ao Guang said.

"There is nothing for the moment. Stay in my Imperial City for now!" Hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Ao Guang frowned. "Don't you need to train dragon knights? I can summon a large number of dragons!"

"Not for now. I will screen them first, then I will trouble you!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Very well. You need to find a vast area to build a Dragon King Hall for me to reside in, or for other Dragon Generals to station in later, to gather the Dragon Clan within the Dazheng Dynasty!"

Dragon King Ao Guang said indifferently.

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything!" Hun Tiandi nodded.

Looking at the golden dragon beside him, Dragon King Ao Guang spoke, "Send it back. You know how, right?"

"Yes, just like before—the reversal!" Hun Tiandi nodded.

Coming before the golden dragon, a drop of essence blood appeared in his palm.

"Heavens and Earth, Return!"

Hun Tiandi whispered as nine dragon shadows emerged from his palm. The space twisted, and after it dissipated, the golden dragon was sent back.

Standing before Longevity Hall, Hun Tiandi surged his Dou Qi, his voice carrying the command: "Li Jingzhong, enter the city!"

With the cultivation of the Dou King level, transmitting his voice was no problem at all. Soon, Li Jingzhong received the message, opened the gates, and entered the Imperial City.

He arranged for Ao Guang to stay in a grand hall.

"General Ye Wudi, select the most reliable and promising people. In a few days, we will train dragon knights!" Hun Tiandi said solemnly.

"Dragon Knights?" General Ye Wudi asked in surprise.

"Yes. Find someone with exceptional talent; they will be your most powerful assistant in the future!" Hun Tiandi said plainly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although General Ye Wudi didn't understand dragon knights, he would execute the order. Those selected would receive the best equipment.

Ten days later, the original body of Hun Tiandi left the Dazheng Dynasty once again, heading toward Linhai City.

Before leaving, he even released the elite army he had subdued in the Heaven-Reaching Tomb within the Netherworld, led by Yun Xiao of the Second Legion.

He also placed them in the Dazheng Dynasty's military camp. Once he returned to the East Sea Ruins, he would have Yun Xiao return to lead the Second Legion.

Having made thorough arrangements, when Hun Tiandi set out on his return journey again...

...it would be the time for the Dazheng Dynasty to expand externally.

His current strength was still weak. He needed to subdue more experts. Training his own experts wasn't as fast as enslaving them with the Blood Spirit Seal; loyalty didn't matter.

Once the Blood Spirit Seal was planted, over time, their nature would naturally lead them to worship Hun Tiandi.

He needed to absorb experts to strengthen himself in the shortest time possible.
