453: Chapter 453 Sending One'sself to His Death

As the words fell, a vast and boundless dragon might erupted from Yun Xuanxuan, sweeping out like a tsunami.

Although the Aura was not massive, it was indeed the scent that only the Dragon Clan possessed.

Dragon Clan?

Atop the mountain peak, the expressions of White Bone Demon Venerable and Nightmare Demon Venerable instantly became solemn as they both looked at Yun Xuanxuan, their eyes filled with disbelief.

These two words were like a clap of thunder, and even Dongfang Li, Gu Yunshen, and the others were shaken, subconsciously looking at Yun Xuanxuan in front of them.

Amidst their shock, their minds raced, and they instantly suppressed the surprise on their faces, their expressions remaining steady without revealing any flaws.

Atop the mountain peak.

Nightmare Demon Venerable tilted her little head, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest of her beast-bone jade chair, her pair of pitch-black eyes fixed intently on Yun Xuanxuan as if judging the truth of her words.

After a moment of contemplation, she gave a light chuckle: "Little one, since you are one of our own, could you reveal your true form for us to see? That way, we can be certain."

These words were like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of Dongfang Li and the others.

Yun Xuanxuan did not speak; although this was a tactic she had only thought of on the spot, she could only brace herself and go through with it now.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and with a thought, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from all around her.

Within that golden light, a dragon shadow could be seen faintly circling, and an Aura even more majestic than before spread out, causing the ordinary Yao Race nearby to tumble and retreat.

Her figure shifted slightly within the golden light as pale gold dragon scales emerged, and her arms transformed, her hands becoming claws.

After refining that pair of dragon horns in the Secret Realm, the Bloodline in her body had become increasingly pure.

"This Dragon Qi... cannot be faked."

White Bone Demon Venerable scrutinized Yun Xuanxuan with a solemn gaze and slowly spoke, "The Aura is pure; she is indeed one of our own."

Nightmare Demon Venerable's gaze grew deeper as she recalled the message sent by Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable not long ago: "Hidden within the Secret Realm are three sages from ten thousand years ago, and one of them is the Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable, whose strength is profound."

The cultivation base of this Little Girl before her was only at the Deity Transformation Realm, which was far removed from the Realm of that Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable, yet this Dragon Qi could not be faked...

She suddenly asked, "Little one, are you a descendant of the Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable?"

Yun Xuanxuan's heart instantly leaped into her throat, but her face remained tense, showing not a hint of panic.

Was this a test?

Or did the Yao Race truly know of the Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable's existence? Regardless, she could only follow along with the other's words at this moment!

She nodded slowly, her voice remaining cold: "Precisely. These four people have already been claimed by my Dragon Clan, and my Dragon Clan's secret technique has already been planted within their Heart Lakes. I ask the two Seniors to make way and not violate the rules of my Dragon Clan."

Among the Nine Great Demon Venerables, there was already one Dragon Venerable in power; if the Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable from the Secret Realm were to re-emerge, there would be two Dragon Venerables within the Yao Race, and the balance of power would surely tilt.

The Yao Race had always marked out their own territories and did not interfere with one another, with no deep entanglements of interest; there was no need to offend the powerful Dragon Clan for the sake of four Mahayana Realm Cultivators.

White Bone Demon Venerable contemplated for a moment, and after weighing the pros and cons, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Withdraw!"

The eight aggressive Mahayana Realm Great Yao from before flickered and retreated back into the Demon Race Army.

Nightmare Demon Venerable shook her pigtails, clearly not having fully let go of her suspicions, and followed up with a question: "Since you are a descendant of the Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable, I wonder how the Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable is faring currently?"

Dongfang Li's eyes suddenly brightened, instantly understanding Nightmare Demon Venerable's intent.

She wanted to use Yun Xuanxuan to probe the true situation of the Sea-Overturning Dragon Venerable!

The opportunity could not be missed; she immediately sent a transmission via Heart Lake to Yun Xuanxuan. At the same time, she inconspicuously took out a palm-sized Dragon Scale Token from her Storage Pouch and, under the cover of the green mist emitted by the Bronze Bird, handed it to Yun Xuanxuan.

These small movements were done very discreetly; the two Demon Venerables atop the mountain were focused on Yun Xuanxuan, and with the cover of the Bronze Bird, it went unnoticed.

Yun Xuanxuan took the token and injected her own spiritual energy into it.

In an instant, a dragon might far more vast and pure than before erupted from the token, sweeping in all directions like a tsunami!

The expressions of White Bone Demon Venerable and Nightmare Demon Venerable atop the mountain changed simultaneously.

Yun Xuanxuan looked up at the mountain peak, her voice cold: "Can the Seniors make way now?"

The Little Girl with pigtails only then lay back down on her jade chair.

...

Meanwhile, at the Flame Continent Dao Seeking Sect!

It was late spring, and the Peach Blossom Courtyard within the Sect was full of vitality.

Fairy Qiyue sat cross-legged on a Bluestone Platform beneath a peach tree, her eyes closed and her body surrounded by a faint spiritual energy as she concentrated on regulating her breathing and Cultivating.

Her Aura was steady and long, and the spiritual energy flowed freely around her; she had clearly reached a Bottleneck.

The next moment!

A loud voice full of hostility suddenly came from the sky, like a clap of thunder, instantly spreading throughout the Dao Seeking Sect.

"Bold Dao Seeking Sect! To think you would collude with the Yao Race within the Secret Realm, seizing treasures and killing people, and harming many factions. Today, we have come specifically to demand an explanation; otherwise, we shall trample this Sect into the ground."

Before the voice had even faded, Fairy Qiyue snapped her eyes open, a sharp glint flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Her figure flickered as she soared into the high sky like a startled swan, with Xiao Yun, Li Pingan, and the others following closely behind. Even Shu Shichan dashed out from Danyun Hall, wanting to see which blind fool dared to challenge her Revered Master's prestige.

Wondering if there was a chance to bring them back for her own medicine trials.

Qin Tianxing and Wang Er, who were freeloading on the Spiritual Qi to Cultivate within the Sect, were also startled by the sudden noise and followed along.

When they saw the six uninvited guests in mid-air, Qin Tianxing, Wang Er, and even Xiao Yun were shaken to their cores, their expressions instantly turning solemn.

Qin Tianxing had already reached the threshold of the Deity Transformation Realm, but in front of these six people, he felt as small as an ant.

Fairy Qiyue coldly scanned the six people and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, Your Excellencies? Coming to my Sect to cause trouble without cause, are you perhaps under the impression that there is no one left in my Dao Seeking Sect?"

The Fifth Elder took a step forward and glanced at Qi Yue and the others as if he were looking at a few insignificant ants:

"Could it be that the Dao Seeking Sect has only dispatched you few ants to seek your deaths? Have your Sect Master come out! Otherwise, today we shall wipe this Dao Seeking Sect from the face of the earth!"

Fairy Qiyue's face darkened, her robes fluttering as they were blown by the Spiritual Qi.

The six people before her did not come with good intentions, but since the Sect Master had entrusted her to manage the Sect, she would not retreat a single step even if she were to die today.

"My Sect Master is in seclusion to Cultivate and is not receiving guests. If Your Excellencies insist on seeking trouble, do not blame my Dao Seeking Sect's Mountain-Protecting Array for being merciless!"

"Mountain-Protecting Array?"

The Fifth Elder sneered, "Very well, I would like to see if your Dao Seeking Sect's Mountain-Protecting Array can block my full-power strike!"
