297: Reconciliation between the two parties

After Su Yu broke free from the shackles of the Law of Time, he once again followed the traces left by the two True Dragons and caught up.

These two True Dragons were truly difficult to deal with; as soon as they got close, they used the Law of Time to slow their speed.

Especially since these two True Dragons were both very powerful, and when they acted together, the three of them could actually only defend passively.

However, they believed that these two True Dragons' Law of Time was about to be exhausted.

In just another day or two, they should be able to catch up with them completely.

But unexpectedly, when they caught up, they actually saw the other eight Elders of the True Dragon Clan gathered here.

Especially the leading Azure Dragon Great Elder, whose aura was vast and boundless, like mountains and seas of stars, like the sun and the bright moon!

His aura was so strong that it surpassed White Venerable and Qilin Venerable!

Even Su Yu felt the pressure!

As soon as the three of them appeared, White Venerable greeted the Azure Dragon Great Elder with a smile.

"White Venerable, Qilin Venerable, and this Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao of the Human Race."

"Since your purpose is to rescue the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal, then I will speak plainly."

"The Nine Spirits Sword Immortal's theft of my Dragon Island's ascending dragon fruit is a capital offense. Our capture of him this time is to escort him to Dragon Island for sentencing."

"After all, it concerns the Face of my Dragon Island."

"However, for the sake of you three Fellow Daoists, the death penalty can be waived, but punishment is unavoidable!"

"If you Fellow Daoists can hand over a treasure comparable to the ascending dragon fruit, we will release the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal. However, it is unavoidable that his cultivation be abolished to serve as a warning to others!"

The Azure Dragon Great Elder felt immense pressure from the three of them.

Especially from Su Yu.

He vaguely sensed that Su Yu was very strange, as if he had some terrifying means that could heavily injure or even kill him.

That was why he spoke like this for a moment.

Otherwise, with ten True Dragon Elders here, even if the Phoenix Venerable and Xuanwu were called, they would be no match for them!

"When I was coming here, I already heard from the Nine Spirits Clan that Nine Spirits Profound Origin had already given the immortal infant fruit to your True Dragon Clan."

"To still demand a treasure of equal value now, are you truly so shameless?"

Hearing this, Qilin Venerable suddenly remembered that Jiu Ling Ye Hua had told him that Nine Spirits Profound Origin had already entrusted someone to deliver the immortal infant fruit to the True Dragon Clan.

The True Dragon Clan said that the Purple Dragon Third Elder no longer held Nine Spirits Profound Origin responsible.

However, for safety reasons, Jiu Ling Ye Hua still left a mark on Nine Spirits Profound Origin, just in case.

Unexpectedly, the True Dragon Clan still went back on their word.

"immortal infant fruit! I haven't received it. If it were truly that item, it would be enough to exchange for one or two ascending dragon fruits. Why would we bother the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal again!"

The Azure Dragon Great Elder was stunned for a moment, a flash of surprise flickering in his eyes.

The immortal infant fruit was much more important to him now than the ascending dragon fruit!

After breaking through the limits of a True Spirit, the effect of the ascending dragon fruit was already very small. If he had the immortal infant fruit, he wouldn't even need to wait long for Ascension; he could directly raise his strength to a level comparable to the Mid-stage True Immortal.

He wouldn't have to worry about being noticed by the True Immortals of the Immortal Court and captured to be a mount.

Instead, he could head to the Dragon Domain on his own!

"Hehe, then someone among you has been deceptive."

Qilin Venerable said with a cold sneer.

Hearing this, the Azure Dragon Great Elder finally realized that someone had pocketed the immortal infant fruit that belonged to him.

So, his pair of huge dragon eyes looked at the highly suspicious Purple Dragon Third Elder.

Seeing this, the Purple Dragon Third Elder also shook his head, indicating that he had not received any immortal infant fruit.

No joke, if there really was an immortal infant fruit, how would he dare to pocket it?

Refinement and consumption also took time; if the Azure Dragon Great Elder noticed anything during that process, he would have the life to take it but no life to spend it!

"It seems we must release the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal to get to the bottom of this!"

Seeing that the Purple Dragon Third Elder's expression didn't seem like a lie, the Azure Dragon Great Elder had Ao Yi and the others release the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal.

Thus, the Fourth Elder Ao Yi opened his bloody maw and released the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal, who was bound by golden chains.

The Nine Spirits Sword Immortal was currently in a coma.

After all, his entire power was bound, and he was inside the world within a True Dragon's belly.

However, as most of the chains on the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal were retracted, leaving only a small portion to prevent him from escaping, he gradually woke up.

The Nine Spirits Sword Immortal looked at Su Yu, Qilin Venerable, and the others before him, somewhat shocked.

When he sensed the ten unfamiliar terrifying auras around him, he was immediately startled.

Especially the Azure Dragon Great Elder's cold pupils, devoid of any emotion, as if an ordinary Cultivator were facing an ancient wild beast!

"Fellow Daoist Nine Spirits, here is what happened..."

Su Yu immediately began to explain to the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal.

As Su Yu explained the sequence of events, the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal was also stunned for a moment.

"The immortal infant fruit, didn't I have Jiu Ling Tuo hand it over to the True Dragon Clan? Did you not receive it!"

The Nine Spirits Sword Immortal was certain that the immortal infant fruit had been delivered into the hands of the True Dragon Clan.

After all, Jiu Ling Tuo had a mark he had planted on him; it was almost impossible to deceive him.

"That's strange then!"

The Azure Dragon Great Elder's eyes stared intently at the Nine Spirits Sword Immortal, observing his Divine Soul fluctuations.

Seeing that his Divine Soul fluctuations were normal and didn't seem fake, both sides fell into deep thought.

"By the way, I heard that when Jiu Ling Tuo entered Dragon Island, he gave the immortal infant fruit to the Dark Dragon Elder of your True Dragon Clan."

"He and the Azure Dragon Great Elder are biological brothers, so Jiu Ling Tuo had him pass the item to the Azure Dragon Great Elder!"

The Nine Spirits Sword Immortal seemed to remember something; he struck his left hand and spoke.

"What! Ao Guang took it!"

Before the Azure Dragon Great Elder could reply, the Silver Dragon Second Elder spoke out in shock.

The other True Dragon Elders also looked at each other.

Ao Guang had stolen several top-tier treasures of the True Dragon Clan a thousand years ago and defected from Dragon Island.

Could it be that his malicious courage only arose after he obtained the immortal infant fruit!

"Everything matches up; it really was that kid Ao Guang who took it! Now that he has refined the immortal infant fruit and Blood Dragon Crystals, he must be about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, right?"

The Purple Dragon Third Elder said through gritted teeth!

He didn't expect that they would actually be toyed with by Ao Guang!

And they had offended the three top experts before them because of it!

"No, his Bloodline is impure; it's impossible for him to want to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"Unless he obtains my Azure Dragon Bloodline, only then can he make up for his own defects and ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

The Azure Dragon Great Elder shook his head.

Although Ao Guang was his biological brother, he was born with a Bloodline defect; when he was born, he was actually a Dark Dragon.

In this life, let alone ascending, it would be difficult for him to even become a being of True Dragon Perfection who had crossed the True Spirit Tribulation.

Over the years, the Azure Dragon Great Elder had also nurtured him, but he was like rotten wood that cannot be carved; he actually went to study some Ancient Evil Dragon Arts.

So he scolded him and put him in solitary confinement for a hundred thousand years.

He originally seemed to have changed after being released, but unexpectedly, he stole several top-tier treasures from Dragon Island and fled a thousand years ago.

It seems it was a spur-of-the-moment decision after obtaining the immortal infant fruit, but it's also possible it was planned for a long time, and the fruit just moved up his actions!
