312: Chapter 312 News from the Old Dragon Emperor? Arranging for the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void

The matter of the dragon phoenix origin fruit was of great importance, and Gu Han would not tell Hei Qing.

Even in the original timeline, after Zi Yan returned to East Dragon Island with the dragon phoenix origin fruit, Hei Qing and the others unanimously agreed to let her refine it, truly loyal to the Old Dragon Emperor's descendant.

Success is achieved through secrecy, and plans fail through leaks. Before true success, no one can claim to be a child of Luck who can turn all difficulties into good fortune.

Caution and bravery are very necessary.

To persuade Hei Qing, he had other bargaining chips.

"Our East Dragon Island is where successive Dragon Emperors have resided, leaving behind the most complete Legacy, which can only be opened and received by descendants of the Old Dragon Emperor's Bloodline." Hei Qing felt Gu Han was unaware of their situation and patiently explained.

"Nowhere in the entire Fighting Qi Continent can provide a better or more complete Legacy for the princess than our East Dragon Island!"

Hei Qing was absolutely confident in the Void Ancient Dragon Legacy.

If it were not so, after Zi Yan appeared, only the Elders of East Dragon Island would have sensed her.

"Is that so?" Gu Han's lips curled slightly as he asked, "Senior, what about the Old Dragon Emperor?"

"What?" Hei Qing was stunned.

"Is the Legacy of East Dragon Island better, or that of His Majesty the Old Dragon Emperor?" Gu Han looked at Hei Qing with a smile.

Hei Qing: "..."

There was certainly no comparison.

The Old Dragon Emperor had been missing for thousands of years. At that time, he was already a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage expert, searching the continent for Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Legacy in order to break through to Dou Di.

Over the years, the Dragon Island had split into four. No matter how complete East Dragon Island's Legacy was, it must have flaws. Moreover, Demonic Beast legacies generally came from Bloodlines; the stronger the Legacy, the more it valued Bloodline.

The Old Dragon Emperor possessed the highest Bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan and also held the most and most complete legacies of the clan. The Legacy Zi Yan could obtain on East Dragon Island was utterly insufficient compared to what she could receive from the Old Dragon Emperor.

But the problem was that the Old Dragon Emperor had been missing for thousands of years. The Seniors of their clan, those above Five-Star Dou Sheng strength, had never stopped searching, including the Grand Elder Zhu Huo, who was already an Eight Star Dou Sheng at the time.

"Naturally, the personal Legacy of His Majesty the Old Dragon Emperor is far superior; the two simply cannot be compared." Hei Qing said with emotion, "But His Majesty the Old Dragon Emperor..."

"Senior, what did you just say my nickname is?" Gu Han suddenly asked.

Nickname?

Hei Qing asked in confusion, "Young Master Tianji?"

Upon saying this, Hei Qing suddenly realized, his breathing became rapid, and he swallowed his saliva before asking, "Could it be that you know where our clan's Dragon Emperor is?"

"Indeed." Gu Han appreciated Hei Qing's reaction and said with a smile, "So now, Senior, are you still insistent on taking Zi Yan back?"

"If you truly know the whereabouts of His Majesty the Old Dragon Emperor and can take the princess to see him, then of course not." Hei Qing immediately shook his head, then asked excitedly, "Where exactly is our Clan Chief?"

If their Void Ancient Dragon Clan's Old Dragon Emperor were still around, the Sky Island would not have split, and the strong within the clan would not have left for the Void Realm.

Clans like the Hun Clan and the Gu Clan were insignificant small clans in ancient times, all standing aside.

"Senior Old Dragon Emperor is trapped in a certain place." Gu Han was not yet ready to reveal the matter of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode and answered with reservations: "That place is related to a Dou Di. I will go there when my strength reaches the Half-Saint level."

"By then, Zi Yan will naturally receive the highest Legacy of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, and I will find a way to rescue Senior Old Dragon Emperor."

Hearing this, Hei Qing became anxious and said, "Our clan has Half-Saint and even Dou Sheng experts. If our East Dragon Island's Third Elder (Zhu Li) is willing, he can even contact the Grand Elder of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, who was already an Eight Star Dou Sheng thousands of years ago."

"As long as you can rescue His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, young friend, you will be a friend of our Void Ancient Dragon Clan."

"Senior, that won't do." Gu Han refused very directly: "If I take you there, whose Opportunity will that place be?"

"Let us be petty first and gentlemen later. The Void Ancient Dragon Clan has been in chaos for so many years, and now it is in a period of peace. It won't hurt to wait a few more years, don't you think?"

"If you force me, you won't get the answer. I don't think you will force me, will you?"

Hei Qing: "..."

Gu Han had left this energy body to meet him, clearly anticipating even the worst-case scenario. He truly was being petty first and gentleman later, his words very straightforward.

"Can you give an exact time?" Hei Qing asked after pondering for a long time: "After returning to East Dragon Island, I need to report the situation to the clan Elders."

"No more than ten years." Gu Han gave a very conservative answer: "Within ten years, I dare not say I will definitely rescue the Old Dragon Emperor, but I can certainly let Zi Yan receive the Old Dragon Emperor's Legacy. Then she can return to the Void Ancient Dragon Clan with the Old Dragon Emperor's token. How about that?"

With the matter put this way, Hei Qing naturally had no reason to refuse.

He clasped his hands and expressed gratitude very properly: "Alright, then I will entrust the care of our clan's princess to you, young friend."

"I know that the Starfall Pavilion and Flower Sect are in a difficult situation lately. I will report to the Elders and send Half-Saint experts from the clan to look after them more."

This care was certainly genuine; Hei Qing wanted to represent the Void Ancient Dragon Clan's Dragon Island in befriending Gu Han.

But protection was also surveillance, which was an open card.

Gu Han was not annoyed by the implicit threat. The Void Ancient Dragon Clan would eventually become his most solid and trustworthy ally because of Zi Yan's existence.

"Senior, I very much agree with this arrangement."

"If possible, I would also like to ask East Dragon Island's Third Elder, Senior Zhu Li, to help me look after someone and deter some petty troublemakers. What do you think?"

Hei Qing: "..."

Did this little guy not understand the meaning of his arrangement?

He was even arranging their Third Elder!

"I will inform the Third Elder of this matter. Whether he agrees or not, I cannot decide."

Outside the Dou Sheng relic, while Gu Han's Soul energy body was chatting with Hei Qing.

Inside the Dou Sheng relic, Gu Han's main body and Zi Yan had already passed through the continuously devouring spatial passage and arrived above a boundless ancient forest.

"So we come here as soon as we enter."

Gu Han looked around, speculating that the reason was the shortcut he and Zi Yan had taken.

They did not enter from the front but directly arrived at the place where the Void Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix had fallen.

"Then let's be direct and get the dragon phoenix origin fruit first."

"With the Dou Sheng relic blocking, no one will discover it."

Gu Han raised his hand to form a seal and executed the Mysterious Armor Heaven-Peering Technique.

"Eh!"

Soul Power was consumed rapidly, but Gu Han did not get an answer.

"The level is a bit high."

"I could continue the deduction at the risk of heavenly backlash."

"But I don't need to."

Gu Han did not use the daily Opportunity intelligence from the Xuanwu Shell either.

He reached out and took Zi Yan's hand, squeezing a drop of blood from her fingertip.

"Excellent, found it!"
