115: The real dragon appears and negotiations begin

Jun Lingxiao's command to 'Retrieve the sword!' startled everyone.

Although the True Dragon Clan has been rarely heard of in recent years, it remains an invincible existence. Even the seven-realm beast from earlier had to bow its head. Yet, under these circumstances, Jun Lingxiao wanted to break through this barrier?

"Brother! Brother! Don't be impulsive! Not to mention whether you can break this barrier, this is clearly aimed at us by the True Dragon Clan. Those True Dragons are all of the same generation as our Old Ancestors, and it's not just one, but a whole clan! If we anger them..."

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows if there are True Dragons inside? If we don't go in, are we just going to turn back? Bring His Highness's sword!"

Jun Hongxuan held Jun Lingxiao back, signaling him not to be rash, while Chu Gaodan encouraged Jun Lingxiao to act, wanting to see just how strong Jun Lingxiao, the Holy Infant, truly was.

Their back-and-forth left Jun Shun, who was behind them, completely bewildered. When Jun Lingxiao fell earlier, his iron sword was picked up by a Disciple and handed to Jun Shun. He originally intended to return it to Jun Lingxiao, but the scene before him now truly confused him.

Should he give it or not???

Meanwhile, Ling Tian was still counting his spoils of war nearby. He didn't care; as long as he followed Jun Lingxiao, he would get his share.

"We've come all this way to the entrance; is there any reason to be blocked?"

"It's just a knock on the door; nothing will happen."

As Jun Lingxiao spoke, he began to warm up. From his demeanor, he didn't look like he was here to knock on a door; he looked more like he was here to raid a home.

Since he'd come all this way, did they think he wouldn't enter just because they said no?

"Everyone, step back."

After receiving the sword, Jun Lingxiao called out and began to take a stance. Although the barrier was indeed very sturdy, if he drew his sword, combined with the Celestial Sword after its advancement, and then adding the Divine Fire form, with these three combined, he wanted to see how long this barrier could last.

If one sword had no effect, then he would try a few more. It would surely have an effect eventually.

His eyes gently closed, then suddenly snapped open. As Jun Lingxiao's entire Aura shifted and he was about to unleash the Celestial Sword, the surrounding space suddenly began to ripple. Then, a majestic voice boomed from above his head.

"Heh, little one, you are even more arrogant than your father."

The last thing Jun Lingxiao saw were the panicked faces of Jun Hongxuan and Chu Gaodan beside him. Then, he was enveloped by a shroud of darkness.

Looking up, he saw a colossal golden Dragon head hidden in the darkness.

He glanced left and right; the others had disappeared, as if only he had been pulled into an independent Domain.

The darkness was filled with speckles of golden light. Jun Lingxiao didn't even need to sense it to know that countless eyes were hidden in the darkness, staring intently at him, and... they were not friendly.

"As expected, the Jun Family people are still like this. I said letting him in was a mistake!"

"No, although the Jun Family are a bunch of treacherous villains, there is still an agreement with his father."

"After the agreement is fulfilled, we should find another place."

Discussions came from the darkness, accompanied by gazes filled with scrutiny and anger. Jun Lingxiao, however, gleaned a piece of information from it.

"An agreement with my father?"

Jun Lingxiao murmured, repeating the words. Wasn't his father a scumbag who eloped with a woman? Now, it sounded as if there was another hidden story.

The massive Dragon head in the center stirred its nostrils, a response.

"Little one, we'll talk about your father later. I am quite curious."

"Knowing that my True Dragon Clan is in this underground palace, you still dare to act? Are you truly not afraid of death?"

With that, a vast Dragon Might emanated, sweeping towards Jun Lingxiao.

This Dragon Might was mixed with the pressure of a Great Emperor. Although Jun Lingxiao could withstand the pressure of a Great Emperor, this Dragon Might was truly formidable, even causing his skin to begin to crack under its force.

However, Jun Lingxiao was not afraid.

"Human Race Tinder, first stage!"

He muttered inwardly, and then a flame shot skyward, momentarily matching the Dragon Might.

The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, coupled with the Human Sacred Law—this was his confidence!

Whoever came, they would first have to take a slap from him before speaking.

It was the True Dragons hiding, not the Jun Family. Jun Lingxiao had no reason to be intimidated by them.

But, he hadn't come to declare war either.

Thinking of this, he suddenly reined in his Aura, then surprisingly sat down completely unguarded, looking up at the massive Dragon head above and saying:

"I also have something to ask you all. What exactly happened between you and the Jun Family before?"

"I am Jun Lingxiao, the Divine Son of the Jun Family, and I can fully represent the Jun Family. In the Jun Family, I heard about the events of the ancient era, but those were all one-sided accounts. If you Seniors think highly of me, a junior, you can speak of your grievances freely."

Perhaps Jun Lingxiao's display of weakness was too shocking, causing the scene to freeze for a moment.

Then, a burst of sneering laughter broke the silence.

"Boy, your demeanor was so high when you arrived, but what scheme are you plotting now? Is this another trick from the Jun Family?"

A voice came from the darkness, and Jun Lingxiao looked over without fear, responding: "Senior, if I had lowered my stance, I probably wouldn't have been able to come here today. And although I represent the Jun Family, the Jun Family does not represent me."

"The Jun Family gave no instructions, and in fact, did not want me to seek out the True Dragon Clan. These are all my own thoughts."

"I truly believe it's a great pity. You Seniors were renowned existences in the ancient era; the name of the Dragon once resounded throughout. But now, is hiding and lurking what you desire?"

"I came today to resolve all of this."

Jun Lingxiao stated his purpose. This was not a Jun Family plot, but indeed his own idea.

"Resolve all of this? Boy, don't boast. This is just another tactic of the Jun Family."

Another roar came from the darkness. It seemed the Jun Family indeed had no credibility with them. But such words only made Jun Lingxiao want to know more about what had happened before.

"Whether I can resolve all of this, I don't know, but I can represent the Jun Family, and I can offer you all fairness. From your Seniors' perspective, the Jun Family clearly wronged you, but now you are the ones hiding and lurking. Don't you find that strange?"

"Any grievances or resentments you have, you can speak them now."

Jun Lingxiao's expression was serious, and as he said, as the Divine Son of the Jun Family, he was sitting there, having already lowered his posture. Coupled with his words, he truly seemed somewhat credible.

Finally, the central Dragon head relented.

"You, little one, truly resemble your father in some ways. It's as if you have a Dragon's gall in your body, fearing nothing."

"Fine, it's not impossible for you to hear."

The Dragon head then slowly spoke, revealing some secrets that Jun Lingxiao had never heard of in the Jun Family.
