140: One last question for you

“You expect our Saint of the Sect, the Young Lord of the Chu Family, to die for that inhuman, ghost-like thing? Does your Dragon God Sect really have such nerve?” Chu Tianyun roared with red eyes, under immense psychological pressure.

He clearly remembered Chu Tian saying back then, “Strike one punch, to avoid a hundred.”

Mindlessly retreating step by step leads nowhere.

It’s no big deal; at worst, it’s just war with the Dragon Clan.

Slaying one Dragon Lord is a gain; slaying two breaks even.

As long as Chu Tian is here, the Chu Family will not fall; there will be a day when they rise again.

“Chu Family, what exactly do you mean?” The Dragon Lord roared, vaguely understanding the Chu Family’s current intention: they wanted to pick on the weak, and his Dragon God Sect was that weak target.

This was a great humiliation.

“Do you take my Dragon God Sect for a pushover, thinking we have no one?”

“Who truly calls the shots in the Chu Family? Where is the Heavenly King Emperor Lord? You are not qualified to speak with me.”

The Dragon Lord, with red eyes, let out a roar, even though he knew he might have been used by Ye Tianxiong, he had no retreat.

The Dragon Clan envoy was watching; he could not show weakness.

The consequences of deceiving the Dragon Clan were something neither he nor the Dragon God Sect could bear. After all, the Dragon God Sect could stand firm among the most Righteous Path great Sects on the Hengtian Continent precisely because of the Dragon Clan’s support behind the scenes.

In this regard, there was no difference from the Heart Demon Sect or the Supreme Demon Sect; they were all representatives of Legacies left by external forces in the Hengtian Human Realm.

It was just that the Demon Sect’s methods were too cruel and bizarre, causing widespread anger and resentment on the Hengtian Continent, so everyone called for their downfall, making it difficult for the Demon Sect to establish itself.

“Damn it, it’s your Dragon God Sect we’re hitting; why would my elder brother need to show his face personally?” Chu Tianxing’s voice was low, his eyes carrying cold Evil Qi. It was hard to imagine how much suppressed Qi this refined middle-aged man had endured during the previous conversation in the Main Hall, now almost immediately resorting to profanity.

Since they had already killed.

Then there was no need to retreat.

“Little Tian was right. Who gave you the courage to slander my Chu Family? My Chu Family is a founding great Family, having presided over the Saint Heaven Sect for generations. What is a mere Dragon God Sect compared to us?” Chu Tianxing’s gaze was cold and full of Evil Qi. The Family Head token in his hand glowed, and terrifying Qi began to awaken from deep within the Main Hall, Killing Intent shaking the heavens.

The Chu Family’s Main Hall contained the Family’s accumulated Foundation of millions of years; it was the root of the Chu Family’s continued existence. No one knew what great horrors were hidden within.

“Fully search my Holy Emperor Peak. I’m letting you in now; do you dare?”

Do you dare?

It’s your Dragon God Sect we’re hitting.

Not a single one of you will leave.

…

One powerful statement after another echoed through the sky, shaking hearts, utterly unyielding.

The Saint Heaven Sect’s high-ranking officials and Grand Elders had cold gazes. Although they did not speak, the powerful pressure they collectively exerted felt like a mountain of billions of feet pressing down on the Dragon Lord and the Dragon God Sect members.

Indeed!

What is your Dragon God Sect? It can’t even break into the top ten on the Hengtian Continent. Relying on the Dragon Clan far beyond the endless realms, you come to slander the Saint Heaven Sect’s founding great Family and act so recklessly here. Who gave you the courage?

“You, you, you…”

“How dare you insult my Dragon God Sect like this!”

The Dragon Lord’s chest was incredibly constricted, his rage soaring. Unable to breathe, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

That damned Ye Tianxiong, he had tricked him!

He had promised that within the Saint Heaven Sect, he would control the situation, and no one would come out to help the Chu Family. How did it end up like this?

Moreover, from Chu Tianxing’s words, demeanor, and expressions, he could truly see that this current acting Family Head of the Chu Family was completely unaware of the Chu Family’s capture of the Dragon Clan’s strongest Bloodline.

Even the dignified acting Family Head, the current decision-maker, didn’t know about it.

So, were the things Ye Tianxiong had sworn to him, pledging by heaven, true or false?

The terrifying pressure caused the Dragon God Sect members’ faces to turn pale, and their bodies trembled.

They had thought they were coming to claimCredit.

How did it become a situation where they were caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure if they would live or die?

Just then, a cold, deep voice emanated from within the Main Hall: “This farce ends here.”

Within the cold voice, there was a terrifying majesty, carrying a sense of high-and-mighty condescension.

A middle-aged man wearing a golden Dragon robe, three zhang tall, like a small mountain, walked out from the Main Hall. Behind him followed a nine-inch long miniature True Dragon Hatchling. Though small, its majestic, cold gaze remained fixed on Chu Tian, a hint of provocation in its Dragon eyes, seemingly somewhat unconvinced by Chu Tian’s domineering presence.

This was a true True Dragon Hatchling, and one of the strongest clans within the Dragon Clan—the Golden Dragon Clan.

“This Lord has no time to waste energy in a small place like yours.”

The middle-aged man’s gaze was indifferent as he swept over the many Saint Heaven Sect powerhouses in the sky, finally settling on Chu Tianxing: “I am here by the Dragon Emperor’s command to investigate whether the Dragon Lord of the Hengtian Human Realm’s report—that the Saint Heaven Sect’s Chu Family wantonly captured my Dragon Clan’s strongest Bloodline—is true.”

“Since you claim to have a clear conscience, why do you not dare to let the Dragon God Sect search your Main Hall to see if there is a Yanluo Temple within, and if it holds many of my Dragon Clan’s strongest True Dragons?”

“My Dragon Clan does not wish to interfere in the internal affairs of your Hengtian Human Clan, but the matter reported by the Dragon Lord of the Dragon God Sect concerns the dignity and honor of my Dragon Clan, and it is of great importance. This matter was personally approved by the great Destiny Dragon Emperor, who sent this Lord and the Dragon Lord to investigate personally.”

“Is this stunt you’re pulling targeting the Dragon God Sect, or is it targeting my Dragon Clan?”

The middle-aged man’s voice was deep, devoid of emotion, yet his cold words were like thunder, directly exploding in the hearts of everyone present. The Dragon’s roar contained within his voice even caused some weaker Sect high-ranking officials to bleed from the corners of their mouths.

He was too powerful, far stronger than the Dragon Lord, a true Golden Dragon Emperor, whose might suppressed all realms.

The four words ‘Destiny Dragon Emperor’ from his mouth made everyone’s chests heavy, almost suffocating them.

This was one of the most noble and greatest mythical beings in all realms. A mere flick of his finger could annihilate a great realm, causing billions of lives to perish and shattering star rivers.

The Hengtian Human Realm, considered as a collective, barely squeezed into the top hundred realms, and was still incredibly far from the top twenty.

Moreover, the Saint Heaven Sect was simply too far from the Destiny Dragon Emperor; to them, he was like a myth.

“Chu Family, Chu Tianxing, Chu Tianyun, this Lord cannot listen to your explanations. I will ask you one last time: will you or will you not let my Dragon Clan search?” The middle-aged man’s cold voice was unimaginably domineering, directly shaking Chu Tianxing’s and Chu Tianyun’s ears.

He completely disregarded what Chu Tian had said about the Dragon Lord’s words being groundless rumors and slanders against the Chu Family.

The Dragon Clan did not want to bother with such things, whether they were slanders or not.

This was an internal struggle within the Hengtian Human Realm, and they did not want to get involved.

However, since such rumors had appeared, damaging the Dragon Clan’s dignity, the Dragon Clan would investigate to the end. As for whether it would harm the honor and dignity of the Chu Family and the Saint Heaven Sect, or damage their interests, it was entirely outside the Dragon Clan’s consideration.

This was the supreme mythical Dragon Clan, which had passed down through the Eternal ages and was perpetually ranked among the strongest clans in all realms.
