72: The true dragon shows his power, and the great demon surrenders!

"Sister Shuang, let's quietly slip away before that great Yao Beast discovers us."

As Lin Yuan's words left his mouth, a purple-robed middle-aged man suddenly appeared above his head. He stood in the air, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had discovered something. He raised his hand and slammed it downwards!

"Boom!"

The translucent purple handprint landed on the ground, and the Concealing Array instantly shattered, the aftermath quickly engulfing Lin Yuan.

Thick smoke billowed around him, obscuring the specific situation.

However, the middle-aged man could sense that there was still life force remaining below, indicating that the other party was still alive.

"To have survived my attack and not die, this boy is truly interesting."

Making a curious sound, he flashed and appeared on the ground.

Waving away the smoke, Lin Yuan's figure was revealed.

His clothes were intact, without the slightest trace of damage.

The middle-aged man's eyes changed slightly, and he was the first to ask, "Human boy, you are merely an ant in the Opening Meridian Realm. How did you withstand my attack?"

"An ant? Are you referring to yourself?"

A clear, cold voice echoed from the Void Realm, and a blurry figure gradually solidified in front of the young man, finally fully appearing.

This was a tall woman with long hair, dressed in a cyan-blue dress, her face exquisitely flawless, and her demeanor transcendent and ethereal.

The bodice of her upper garment was pushed high by a pair of fruits, making one worry about the stability of the clothing. The lower part was a long skirt with a slit, and her perfectly curved, snow-white long legs were like two jade pillars, vaguely appearing and disappearing with the wind.

Further down were a pair of beautiful bare feet, without shoes or socks, and her ten round and smooth toes were playfully exposed to the air.

"Who are you? How dare you mock me?"

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed. With his powerful strength, he hadn't detected any trace of the other party. Could this woman's cultivation be even higher than his?

Ao Ling霜 did not answer, but instead said with a cold face, "A mere small insect who has just transformed, dares to call himself 'I' in front of me. Who gave you such guts?"

"You!"

Such insulting words made the middle-aged man furious: "Presumptuous! I am from the Nine Nether Ink Scale Python Clan and possess true Dragon Bloodline. What are you? How dare you spout such nonsense in front of me?"

Ao Ling霜 smiled: "Is having true Dragon Bloodline so great? You're just a small insect. Today, I shall let you witness what a true Azure Dragon is!"

With that, she began to activate her Bloodline Power. Behind her, an Azure Dragon phantom materialized, its body massive and majestic, covered in Azure Dragon Scales that shimmered like gems under the sunlight. A thick, long Dragon Horn topped its Dragon Head, and a pair of Dragon Eyes opened and closed below, fully displaying the demeanor of a king among Yao Beasts.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was utterly dumbfounded.

Azure Dragon!

Divine Beast Azure Dragon!

It had actually appeared alive right before him!

Was this really not an illusion?

"Boom!"

As the phantom materialized, a powerful Yao Beast aura erupted from Ao Ling霜's body, pressing down on the other party!

The middle-aged man had no time to dodge and was directly suppressed by this aura, his body prostrating on the ground, not even daring to lift his head.

This was Bloodline suppression. Facing a Divine Beast many Ranks higher than himself, regardless of the opponent's cultivation strength, his blood's instinct made him surrender immediately.

Ao Ling霜 crossed her arms, a disdainful curve on her lips: "What I am, do you see clearly now?"

"I see clearly! I see clearly!"

The middle-aged man trembled, responding repeatedly.

"You dared to attack my companion just now. If I hadn't helped in time, he might have already become a corpse. How do you plan to atone for that?"

"I was wrong, Your Highness! This humble one did not know Your Highness was here and unintentionally offended you! Please forgive me, Your Highness! From now on, I am willing to go through fire and water for you and serve you like a dog!"

The middle-aged man kowtowed frantically, begging for mercy, tears welling up in his heart.

He truly hadn't expected that by casually killing a few ant Human Race members after coming out of seclusion, he would encounter a Divine Beast-level existence. This was simply too unlucky!

Ao Ling霜 snorted coldly: "You think a few casual words will earn you my forgiveness? Do you think this Princess is so easily appeased?"

Princess!

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the Princess of the Azure Dragon Clan?"

Ao Ling霜 said proudly, "Of course, otherwise, with the Bloodline Power of an ordinary Azure Dragon, how could I suppress you so easily?"

The middle-aged man nodded with a sudden realization. The aura just now emanated from the Bloodline, and its power was extremely strong, instantly making him kneel and submit. This indicated that the other party's Divine Beast Blood was quite pure, a genuine pure-blooded Dragon Clan.

From this perspective, only the identity of the Dragon King's daughter matched the other party.

"Nine Nether Ink Scale Python Clan's You Ning pays respects to Princess!"

After learning the other party's origin, You Ning kowtowed again, speaking respectfully.

Ao Ling霜 rested her chin on her hand, pondering, "The Nine Nether Ink Scale Python Clan is considered one of the top branches among the python clans. You being able to Cultivate to the seventh Rank, I suppose it's all thanks to your own Bloodline?"

You Ning honestly replied, "That's right, I benefited from my main body's Bloodline and was fortunate enough to Cultivate to this Realm. This was still under the premise of obtaining an Opportunity. If not for that, I'm afraid I would only have been able to stop at the sixth Rank."

Ao Ling霜 frowned, "Didn't you say you had true Dragon Bloodline? Why is even breaking through to the seventh Rank difficult? With the power of Dragon Blood, you should have logically entered the Saint Realm and transformed into a Flood Dragon long ago. Why would you be stuck at the sixth Rank?"

You Ning opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally let out a sigh: "Alas, my clan's Legacy has been passed down for countless generations, and the Bloodline has become thinner with each generation. By my generation, it had long been diluted beyond recognition. How could there be any true Dragon Bloodline to speak of? What I said just now was just made up."

Ao Ling霜's mouth twitched. While speechless internally, she feigned anger and reprimanded, "You little insect, how dare you intentionally deceive this Princess? Coupled with your previous actions, your crimes are compounded. It seems I truly need to teach you a good lesson!"

Seeing the other party roll up her sleeves as if to act, You Ning trembled in fear and hastily said, "Apologies, Your Highness! It's all this humble one's fault! I am willing to offer all the Spirit Medicine I have collected throughout my life. Please, Princess, do not hold it against this humble one!"

"Oh?"

Ao Ling霜's eyes lit up: "What Spirit Medicine? Show them to me."

Immediately, You Ning took out various medicinal herbs from his storage ring and piled them on the ground like a small mountain, making Lin Yuan's eyes widen at the sight.

"This is Scarlet Spirit Fruit! And Purple God Sand! Spirit King Vine! Scrophulariaceae! Oh my goodness!"

Recalling the knowledge of medicinal herbs he had learned before, he recognized a few of the Spirit Medicine within.

This was only a small portion; he had never seen most of them.

Even so, from the unique glows emanating from the medicinal herbs and the rich medicinal fragrance they exuded, one could tell that these things were absolutely extraordinary!

I'm rich!

I'm truly rich this time!
