168: Chapter 168 Entering the Ancestral Land, Meeting the Ancestor!

"You! Is this the attitude of someone asking for a favor?"

Seeing Zhou Yuxuan's stubborn attitude, Empress Donghuang Baiqing's eyes narrowed, and she shouted with killing intent flickering in her gaze.

"Your Majesty, I hope you understand that if this matter is not handled properly, the one who will suffer the loss is you!"

Zhou Yuxuan said indifferently.

As his voice fell, the anger on Empress Donghuang Baiqing's face, which had already been simmering, began to fade.

Zhou Yuxuan's words were correct.

If the matter of the Black Dragon King's death was not handled properly, the loss would indeed be greatest for her.

However, at this moment, she simply could not tolerate Zhou Yuxuan's attitude; in just a few short sentences of exchange, he had provoked her killing intent several times.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yuxuan had tampered with her body, she would have certainly taken action against the Zhou Family.

After a moment of thought, Empress Donghuang Baiqing finally softened her stance and said indifferently, "Minister Zhou, rest assured. The Black Dragon King, Ao Tian, killed tens of millions of my Great Shang Dynasty's citizens back then."

"He deserved to die. Now that you have killed him, it is merely the execution of a vile beast. In the eyes of the people, you are a hero."

"If the Dragon Clan asks about this matter, I will settle it for you."

Hearing this, and after receiving Empress Donghuang Baiqing's confirmation, Zhou Yuxuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I still have some important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

As Zhou Yuxuan spoke, he turned and left.

Seeing the casual manner of the Young Master of the Zhou Family, Empress Donghuang Baiqing was furious. However, this also suited her wishes, for every time she saw Zhou Yuxuan's face,

she would feel extremely displeased.

Soon after Zhou Yuxuan left, Grand Preceptor Yue Changhong stepped out from a dark corner.

"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report."

Seeing that the newcomer was her own Grand Preceptor, Empress Donghuang Baiqing's expression softened slightly.

She then said, "Speak, I am listening."

"Your Majesty, some Immortal Longevity Clans have already emerged into the world."

"Oh? Which families?" Empress Donghuang Baiqing raised an eyebrow. In her view, something that finally made her happy had appeared.

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Longevity Clans discovered to have emerged so far are the Gu Family, the Long Family, the Chen Family, and the Ye Family."

Hearing that four Immortal Longevity Clans had emerged all at once, Empress Donghuang Baiqing's expression finally became more serious.

"Oh? Which descendants have emerged?"

Grand Preceptor Yue Changhong paused for a moment, then took out a piece of paper and began to read from it.

"From the Gu Family, the ones who have emerged are the Ninth Sequence, Gu Tianlong, and his younger sister. From the Long Family, it is the third of the Four Great True Disciples, Long Teng."

"Also, Chen Tian, the descendant of the Sword God among the Chen Family's Three Great Weapon Gods, and Ye Tianwen, the Ninth True Disciple of the Ye Family's Nine Great Descendants."

Yue Changhong didn't know where the news had come from, but after reading it all in one breath, her face was deathly pale, and she almost couldn't keep her footing.

"Your Ma—Your Majesty, this is the situation I have divined."

Seeing Yue Changhong's weak appearance, Empress Donghuang Baiqing raised a hand and gently pointed a finger toward her.

As a beam of white light passed through Yue Changhong's body,

in the next second, Yue Changhong's face regained its color.

Then Empress Donghuang Baiqing said, "You have worked hard, Minister. This is my reward to you!"

Hearing this, Yue Changhong was immediately filled with trepidation, repeatedly kneeling and bowing as she said, "I have not worked hard; this is all my duty!"

At this moment, while the two were speaking, an old man suddenly appeared in the palace.

"Your Majesty, it is time to attend to the proper business!"

Seeing the appearance of this old man, Empress Donghuang Baiqing was somewhat displeased, but given the old man's status,

she replied indifferently, "Elder, please wait a moment. I will be there shortly!"

The old man seemed to be just a messenger; after delivering the message, he disappeared without even glancing at Yue Changhong.

Empress Donghuang Baiqing then said, "Minister, continue to observe every move of these descendants from the Immortal Longevity Clans. If you discover any of them contacting the Zhou Family, report it to me immediately."

Seeing Empress Donghuang Baiqing's serious expression, Yue Changhong nodded solemnly. "I obey your command!"

With that, Yue Changhong disappeared.

And Empress Donghuang Baiqing also stood up and walked toward the depths of the imperial palace.

...

The next day, at the East Sea Dragon Palace, upon receiving word of the Black Dragon King's death, they contacted the Great Shang Dynasty and sent the Black Dragon Emperor, Ao Feng, as an envoy.

At this moment, standing upon the surface of the East Sea was a tall and sturdy man.

This was Ao Feng in his human form.

"Ao Feng, remember that the Human Race has many experts now; you must not act recklessly. If you insist on going your own way, you will be harming the entire East Sea Dragon Clan."

"Indeed! Ao Feng, we have already granted your requests, so you must not act rashly. You must think of your lovely wives back in the Dragon Palace."

"..."

Ao Feng listened to the voices of admonishment surrounding him, his brow furrowed as he remained silent.

In his heart, however, he felt disdain for those around him.

Hmph! It wasn't your son who died, so of course you don't feel the pain.

If it were your son who died, you would certainly be even more frenzied than I am.

Although he had some ideas brewing in his mind, he did not show them on his face.

Instead, he put on a serious expression.

"Rest assured, everyone. Do you not yet know what kind of dragon I am? Since I have given my word, I will surely see it through!"

Hearing Ao Feng's words, the members of the Dragon Clan who had taken human form all rolled their eyes.

Nonsense! It's precisely because we know your character that we're reminding you repeatedly. If it weren't for the fear of you bringing disaster upon the Dragon Clan, who would bother with you?

The surrounding members of the Dragon Clan all grumbled in their hearts.

If they weren't wary of Ao Feng's strength, they would have started cursing him long ago.

Fortunately, however, Ao Feng's behavior seemed normal enough.

Soon, after a series of warnings, the dragons watched as Ao Feng headed toward the Great Shang Dynasty.

...

At this time, Zhou Yuxuan returned to the Zhou Family with Zhao Chungang and the others.

Just as he returned to the Zhou Family, he was called over by his father, Zhou Yuantian.

Zhou Yuxuan then separated from the others.

"Father, I wonder why you called me here? Is there some important matter?" As Zhou Yuantian led Zhou Yuxuan deep into the Zhou Family's grounds,

Zhou Yuxuan asked curiously.

"Yes, the Old Ancestors have specifically asked to see you."

As Zhou Yuantian spoke, a mysterious passage suddenly appeared in the originally empty backyard of the Zhou Family.

At this moment, Zhou Yuxuan, with his God King Realm cultivation, could naturally sense what kind of existences were within this space.

He said in great shock, "Father, is this the hidden foundation of our Zhou Family?"

"Our Zhou Family actually has so many Old Ancestors still alive?"

Zhou Yuantian nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! Go in; don't keep the Old Ancestors waiting too long!"

Zhou Yuxuan nodded and then stepped into the spatial passage.

Suddenly, waves of powerful Saint's pressure came crashing toward him.

"Are you the current Young Master of the Zhou Family?"
