318: Are you the Taixu Ancient Dragon, or am I?

Chapter 318: Are You the Void Ancient Dragon, or Am I!?

“Greetings, Young Lord.”

The several-thousand-zhang figure at the forefront of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan shimmered, transforming into an immortal-like old man with a Daoist demeanor, white hair, and a youthful Face.

He approached Zi Yan, clasped his fists in greeting, his eyes filled with fervor and moist with tears.

A normal person seeing him for the first time would likely find it hard to believe that his true form was a Void Ancient Dragon.

It would be even harder to imagine a Peak Dou Saint level expert exhibiting such emotional tears.

“Hello, Uncle,” Zi Yan called out openly, a smile on her Face.

This single address of “Uncle” immediately brought Zhu Huo to tears, and he stammered, “Good, good, good.”

Thousands of years had passed; he had thought that his little niece, born to his elder brother and his biological sister, was gone.

He never expected to meet her again today.

And Zi Yan even called him “Uncle,” which made him even happier.

He and Zhu Kun shared a great-grandfather. Zhu Kun married his biological sister, seeking to ensure the purity of their future generations’ Bloodline.

When discussing their relationship with Zi Yan, she preferred to consider it from her mother’s side.

“Wait!” Zhu Huo’s eyes widened: “Little niece, how did you know I was your uncle?”

“Uncle, my name is Zi Yan.” Zi Yan reached out and hooked Chu Xiao’s arm: “As for your identity, Chu Xiao told me.”

“Hmm!?” Zhu Huo’s gaze instantly became extremely sharp.

His little niece, it seemed, had already been charmed by this pretty boy?

“Greetings, Senior Zhu Huo.” Chu Xiao proactively greeted him: “I learned about your relationship with Zi Yan from Senior Zhu Kun.”

Zhu Huo swallowed all the words he was about to say and asked with unease: “Is Dragon Emperor Your Majesty still alive?”

It wasn't that he wished Zhu Kun dead, but rather, seeing Zi Yan possess Zhu Kun’s Natal Reverse Scale led him to that conclusion.

He felt that his niece must have suffered greatly outside, which was why he had an urge to cry.

“Of course, Senior Zhu Kun is still alive.” Chu Xiao nodded slightly: “He went to search for Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Immortal Cave back then, but was imprisoned by the traps Tuoshe Ancient Emperor left behind, which is why he has been missing all these years.”

“It was indeed because of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor!” Zhu Huo didn't seem surprised, a flicker of hatred in his eyes: “My sister was injured back then, and Dragon Emperor had no choice but to Seal her.

“To save my sister, he had to Breakthrough to the Dou Di level and awaken the Dou Di Bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.”

“So, he tried to find Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Immortal Cave, and then he disappeared.”

“So, Mother is still alive?” Zi Yan instantly grasped the key point.

Ever since she was a child, she had longed for parents, but also resented the parents who had “abandoned” her.

However, through Chu Xiao, she learned that her mother was so severely injured that she had to be Sealed, and part of the reason was for her.

She couldn't bring herself to hate such a mother now.

“Of course she’s alive.” Zhu Huo didn’t hide anything from Zi Yan: “When she was pregnant with you, she was ambushed by a mysterious high-level Dou Saint.”

“At that time, although you had already been conceived, you hadn't fully formed. She could have chosen to absorb that power to recover herself.”

“But she didn’t do that. Instead, after your father arrived to rescue her, she chose to use her own Bloodline and Dou Qi cultivation to protect you, nurturing you in the Void Realm with our clan’s most precious treasure.”

“Afterward, Dragon Emperor Your Majesty desperately searched for Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Immortal Cave, and then one day he suddenly disappeared, and you could no longer be contacted.”

“I originally wanted to take you into seclusion and raise you after you were born to become a talent.”

“But you also mysteriously entered the Void Realm and disappeared.”

“To find your father, and also to find you, I led people into the Void Realm.”

“As for your mother, she can recover as long as a Dou Di emerges from the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.”

Zhu Huo recounted a series of past events, making Zi Yan understand that everything her parents did back then was out of helplessness.

Given this, she would be a little nicer to Zhu Kun next time.

“Where is Dragon Emperor Your Majesty now?” After resolving Zi Yan’s confusion, Zhu Huo finally inquired about his own Dragon Emperor Your Majesty.

“He has now been rescued by me and will regain his freedom soon.”

“This time, I had Zi Yan find you through the Reverse Scale because he learned about the internal situation of the Taixu Ancient Dragon from me.”

“He asked me to inform you to integrate Dragon Island as soon as possible and not allow continued infighting.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Huo nodded slightly: “Even if Dragon Emperor Your Majesty didn’t say so, for Zi Yan’s sake, this Venerable One would still do it.”

His niece had returned, and she would certainly become the new Dragon Emperor in the future. He wanted to hand her a complete and powerful Void Ancient Dragon Clan.

“Lie Yang.”

“Zhu Ming.”

“Xuan Kun.”

Zhu Huo called out three names.

From among the dozens of Void Ancient Dragons behind him, three immediately flew out and transformed into human form, all appearing as burly middle-aged men.

They were all a generation younger than Zhu Huo and Zhu Kun, and were currently the strongest experts of South Dragon Island, West Dragon Island, and North Dragon Island, all at the Peak of Six-Star Dou Saint cultivation.

These three had followed him into the Void Realm to search for Zhu Kun and Zi Yan, and their relationship was quite good.

Now, the four Dragon Islands were at loggerheads, each wanting to annex the others.

But as long as a true powerhouse returned, they would immediately obey.

“I’ll leave these matters to you.” Zhu Huo instructed: “Within three days, I hope Dragon Island will be reunited.”

It was precisely because of his absolute confidence in his own strength, and having these three leading Dragons from the royal collateral branches under him, that he simply didn't want to bother with the internal division of Dragon Island.

As long as he wished, he could have a unified Dragon Island at any time.

Those conflicts were merely a form of Gu raising, to prevent the Void Ancient Dragon Clan from declining after losing the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix as an opponent.

“Yes!”

The three immediately left after understanding Zhu Huo’s instructions.

Seeing this, the other Void Ancient Dragons also entered the Void Realm and concealed themselves.

After they left, Zhu Huo said to Chu Xiao: “Young friend, thank you for rescuing Dragon Emperor Your Majesty of our clan.”

“Once Dragon Emperor Your Majesty is free, how to repay you will be decided by him.”

“But this Venerable One can guarantee that the Void Ancient Dragon Clan will absolutely not be stingy.”

“Senior, you are too polite. Everything I did was for Zi Yan’s Face; you don’t need to be so formal with me.” Chu Xiao replied with a smile.

Zhu Huo frowned and said: “You are a smart person; you should understand what I just meant.”

“What do you mean?” Chu Xiao feigned confusion.

“Our clan’s Young Lord cannot marry a human!” Zhu Huo no longer hid his intentions.

Zi Yan: ?

Zi Yan: !

Was this newly met uncle going to break up a pair of lovers?

No, she hadn’t even succeeded yet, and she was already facing the crisis of being separated!

“To ensure the purity of the Bloodline?” Chu Xiao’s Face revealed a meaningful smile.

“Exactly.” Zhu Huo admitted openly.

He was thinking of the royal descendants born to Zi Yan.

“But you should be begging me to be with Zi Yan.” Chu Xiao’s mind stirred, and he released the Void Ancient Dragon Qi within his body.

Under the continuous refinement of the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame, which had fused with the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, he was now a Dragon Phoenix body, and the power of the Void Ancient Dragon within him was even purer than that of the royal family.

Zhu Huo, who felt the Bloodline pressure: ???

This was even more Void Ancient Dragon than he, a Void Ancient Dragon, was.

“Moreover, in the future, Zi Yan will not need to be confined by the Taixu Ancient Dragon Bloodline at all.”

Chu Xiao then released the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Qi, which, when combined, became Dragon Phoenix Qi.

That pure Bloodline pressure, even more powerful than that of the Void Ancient Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, completely unsettled Zhu Huo.

“Dragon Phoenix?”

“Precisely, Dragon Phoenix.” Chu Xiao nodded: “I know where there is a dragon phoenix origin fruit, and I am going to find it for Zi Yan to use.”

“Senior, who do you think among the Void Ancient Dragon Clan will be worthy of her then?”

Zhu Huo: “.”

Although he didn't want to admit it, currently, Zi Yan wasn't worthy of Chu Xiao.

Once Zi Yan transformed into a Dragon Phoenix, she would indeed be a perfect match for Chu Xiao.

But the problem was, was the dragon phoenix origin fruit that easy to obtain?

Chu Xiao seemed to see through Zhu Huo’s thoughts and said: “I will need your help, Senior.”

“What do you need me to do?” Zhu Huo asked curiously.

Chu Xiao didn’t rush to answer but looked at the Void Ancient Dragons and said: “Senior, let them return to Dragon Island first.”

Zhu Huo immediately raised his hand, signaling the other Void Ancient Dragons to return.

These Void Ancient Dragons were at least Three-Star Dou Saints, many at Four-Star and Five-Star.

Those remaining on Dragon Island were, on the contrary, the worst batch.

“We will depart now.”

Chu Xiao raised his hand and formed a Dao Seal.

“Heaven and Earth are Void Realm, deduce all things.”
