“Dragon King?” Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yan’s face slightly changed. He was well aware that the Ancient Void Dragons had split into four factions. Apart from the Eastern Dragon Island where Zi Yan resided, the other three major dragon islands were each controlled by a Dragon King. The title of Dragon King was merely a prestigious name for the incredibly powerful rulers of those three islands.
“Not sent by Zi Yan, but by one of the three major dragon islands.” Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Since he left the Eastern Dragon Island, he had not received any news about the Ancient Void Dragons. As they were in the Void Space, no matter how intense the battle, it could not be transmitted to the Central Plains. Thus, apart from their own people, no one else would know that the Ancient Void Dragons were currently plagued by internal strife.
“I wonder which Dragon King dispatched these individuals. They have actually left the Void Space and come to the Nine Serpent Clan of the Netherworld. They must have some significant plans.”
Xiao Yan’s eyes glittered. Over the years, Zi Yan should have successfully emerged from seclusion. After her emergence, she would surely tackle the internal strife, but to unify the Ancient Void Dragons, she must first deal with the three Dragon Kings. Although Xiao Yan wasn’t fully aware of their strength, based on the Eastern Dragon Island’s power, he speculated that the three Dragon Kings were true Battle Saints. However, the exact star level of their Battle Saint status was unknown to him.
“It seems I need to take some time to enter the Void Space and investigate. Zi Yan’s strength, boosted by the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, will surely increase, but I suspect the three Dragon Kings are no pushovers. I must go and assist her.”
Xiao Yan spoke to himself. If the Ancient Void Dragons achieved unification, their power would drastically increase. Given his friendship with Zi Yan, he could potentially bring the Ancient Void Dragons into the alliance. At that time, not only the Hall of Souls, but even the Soul Race, would no longer dare to underestimate them.
Xiao Yan’s gaze fell upon the few figures in the distance. After conversing with some chieftains in the ravine, the latter opened a passage, allowing them to enter.
“The Ancient Void Dragons have always looked down on other magical beast races. I wonder why a Dragon King would send people here…”
Xiao Yan frowned, then waved his sleeve, releasing a dense spatial force that enveloped Cai Lin and the others. In a flash, they disappeared.
In the depths of the ravine, a few figures rapidly dashed towards the dark underground. These individuals were all quite powerful, with exceptionally strong physical bodies. They did not use any battle qi, moving like meteors, with a continuous whooshing sound.
“Commander Qin, I wonder if we will receive a response from the Nine Serpent Clan this time. If they agree to help us, we can completely defeat the Eastern Dragon Island and win this war.”
As they descended, a man turned to the burly figure ahead and said. The man was clearly not weak, and even amidst the fierce wind, his voice still reached the burly figure’s ears accurately.
“We should succeed. Our Northern Dragon Island has the refined blood of ancient sky snakes. The Nine Serpent Clan is desperately seeking things with ancient bloodlines. Combined with the benefits we promised, they will not refuse.”
The burly man at the front had a square face with thick eyebrows, exuding a sense of authority. Clearly, he held a high position.
“However, the Eastern Dragon Island has a true Dragon Emperor. We…”
A man hesitated, pointing out that the Ancient Void Dragons, particularly the royal bloodline, exerted immense pressure on ordinary warriors. Just thinking about facing a true royal-blooded Ancient Dragon made the ordinary dragon warriors feel uneasy.
“Don’t say useless things. Who knows if it’s true or false? The Dragon King is a genuine royal blood. We only need to follow his orders!”
The burly man’s brows furrowed as he said sternly.
“Yes.”
The previous man could only nod in agreement.
“Hmm.”
Commander Qin grunted inwardly, preparing to increase speed. However, he suddenly saw a few figures floating in the air a short distance below, surveying them with indifferent eyes.
“These people are not from the Nine Serpent Clan. Be careful!”
Commander Qin, cautious, immediately prepared for battle, his muscles tightening.
“Those ahead, step aside!”
Fists clenched, Commander Qin shouted coldly.
“Stay and answer my questions.”
Facing his cold demand, the lean figure in the center slowly raised his head. It was Xiao Yan. Lifting his hand, he clenched it towards Commander Qin and the others.
“Attack!”
Seeing Xiao Yan’s gesture, Commander Qin’s face turned grim. A torrent of battle qi erupted from him, but as it did, he was shocked to find the surrounding space had solidified. They were like puppets, unable to resist as they slowly descended before the lean figure.
“Who are you?! We are of the Ancient Void Dragons.”
Commander Qin’s heart was filled with shock. As a five-star Battle Sovereign, he found it unbelievable that he was helpless in the face of such power.
“Are you from the Northern Dragon Island, Southern Dragon Island, or Western Dragon Island?”
Xiao Yan glanced at Commander Qin and asked indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Commander Qin’s pupils shrank. The division of the Ancient Void Dragons into four islands was known only within the clan. How could this human know such a secret?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Despite his shock, Commander Qin refused to budge, instead shouting fiercely.
Xiao Yan remained expressionless, tapping Commander Qin lightly. A gush of blood spurted from a wound, dripping down into the abyss like a small stream.
“You!”
Trembling with rage, Commander Qin glared at Xiao Yan.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Unfazed by his resistance, Xiao Yan continued to jab, causing more wounds to burst open. Soon, the burly man was covered in blood. The sight made the others shudder; the Ancient Void Dragons’ bodies were usually extremely resilient, but in front of this young man, they seemed as fragile as tofu.
“At this rate, your blood will be depleted in five minutes. You should know what happens to an Ancient Void Dragon when its bloodline dries up, right?”
Xiao Yan’s voice was cold and indifferent.
Hearing this, Commander Qin shivered. The power of the Ancient Void Dragons, like other ancient magical beasts, came from their bloodline. Depleted, they would become weak, and even if restored, their strength would wane, something no proud dragon warrior could bear.
“We are from the Northern Dragon Island. Who are you? We have never provoked such a powerful individual!”
Commander Qin took several deep breaths before finally speaking in a hoarse voice.
“How is the situation in the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?”
Xiao Yan asked calmly.
“The Ancient Void Dragon Clan is now in a civil war. The three major dragon islands are united against the Eastern Dragon Island, but the battle is at a stalemate. The Eastern Dragon Island has a new Dragon Emperor and has also recalled some elders who were in the void, greatly increasing their strength.”
Commander Qin, after hesitating, finally spoke the truth, having seen Xiao Yan’s methods.
“So it has begun.” Xiao Yan’s brows furrowed, sighing internally. Zi Yan must be having a hard time.
“Why did you come to the Nine Serpent Clan?”
Xiao Yan asked again.
“To form an alliance with the Nine Serpent Clan and fight against the Eastern Dragon Island.”
Commander Qin gritted his teeth and replied.
“Have the Ancient Void Dragons abandoned all their pride? Seeking external support for internal strife?”
Xiao Yan’s face changed, and he roared.
“That was the decision of the three Dragon Kings, not something we could control. The alliance news has already been sent to the Nine Serpent Clan. We are here to get a definite response. Even if you capture us, others will come soon.”
“Besides the Nine Serpent Clan, have the three Dragon Kings sought other external help?”
Xiao Yan paused, then asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Commander Qin’s body stiffened.
“Speak!”
Seeing this, Xiao Yan pointed a finger, demanding sternly.
“Yes, they have invited the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. They agreed to help, but they want the new Dragon Empress handed over to them if captured.”
Feeling the killing intent in Xiao Yan’s voice, Commander Qin’s heart chilled, and he hurriedly replied.
“Damn!”
As soon as he finished, Xiao Yan’s face turned utterly grim. He hadn’t expected the three Dragon Kings to be so shameless, not only breaking tribal rules and involving outsiders but also promising to hand over their own queen to their former enemy, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!
“Three scoundrels.”
Xiao Yan’s eyes darkened. If both the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Serpent Clan became allies of the three dragon islands, Zi Yan’s Eastern Dragon Island would truly be in mortal peril.
