Lan Hua hummed in agreement and asked leisurely, "Who goes there?"

Three figures quickly appeared in front of Lan Hua: two white-haired old men and a young man.

The man in the middle is imposing and has a distinguished presence.

Although he looked young, Lan Hua knew that among the three, he was the strongest, already at the late stage of the Xuan rank.

As for the two old men on the side, although they were old, they were only at the late stage of True Rank.

An old man nearby scoffed, "Ignorant! They don't even know about Prince Yazi, the second son of the Dragon Emperor!"

"Yazi?"

Lan Hua transmitted her voice, "Brother Ba, is this your elder brother?"

Baxia nodded silently.

Lan Hua gave an "oh" that was drawn out, and then shook her head.

"So it's the dragon prince Yazi!"

"I don't know him!"

The old man was about to rebuke him, but Ya Zi waved his hand to stop him.

“This Dragon Gate Peak is a sacred place for my Dragon Clan, and it is related to the great task of the scaled creatures of the three thousand worlds below transforming into dragons. Brother Baxia, how can you bring outsiders here so easily?”

Although he didn't reprimand Baxia, his words already conveyed dissatisfaction.

Hei Lie quickly replied, "We have only been here for a short time and have not done anything to the Dragon Gate. How could we possibly affect the Dragon Transformation Tribulation?"

"How dare you, you little black dragon, speak like that?"

The old man swung his palm diagonally, sending a burst of dragon energy towards Hei Lie's chest and abdomen.

"Um?"

Lan Hua frowned, and without making a move, a red aura appeared out of thin air, enveloping the three of them and easily neutralizing the old man's palm strike.

"Old man, who are you? How dare you mess with my buddy like that?"

The white-haired old man was greatly surprised, realizing that Lan Hua was also a powerful expert at the Venerable level.

However, relying on Ya Zi's support, he stubbornly declared, "I am Bai Feng, the vanguard guard of the Second Prince."

This black dragon is ignorant of etiquette and should be punished!

Lan Hua said "Oh," glanced at Ya Zi, and said, "Does the Second Prince think so too?"

"good!"

Ya Zi snorted, "A mere black dragon has no right to speak!"

"So that's it! It's because his cultivation level isn't high enough that he's not qualified!"

Lan Hua then made a slashing motion with her right hand, sending a blade of energy towards Bai Feng.

It was just a casual strike, but the latter felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, making it difficult to even dodge.

Ya Zi's eyes widened instantly, and he swung out a claw, trying to block the blade's energy.

Lan Hua snorted coldly, and her right hand once again slashed through the air with lightning speed, shattering the claw wind before striking Bai Feng.

The latter was immediately sent flying dozens of feet after being hit.

Strangely, Bai Feng was not bleeding, not because the dragon scales were unbreakable, but because he had suffered internal injuries.

His cultivation has stagnated, and he will find it difficult to make a move within ten days.

"You're not worthy either. Did the person in charge give you permission to speak?"

Ya Zi hummed in agreement, his expression instantly changing.

"Kid, you're not simple!"

Lan Hua laughed and said, "Ba Xia is my buddy. Do you think I'm simple?"

Baxia then spoke up, "Second Brother, I brought him here because he really didn't do anything. Please don't be so aggressive!"

Although Ya Zi knew that Lan Hua was powerful, this was the territory of the Dragon Clan, so he was naturally not afraid of what Lan Hua might do to him.

"Hmph, even if you do nothing, you will still affect the tribulations of beings in the lower realms!"

"As you just saw, a creature of the sea fish race was supposed to successfully transcend its tribulation today, but your arrival has disrupted the aura of Dragon Gate Peak."

This caused a change in the great calamity that was about to descend from the Dragon Gate, which led to that being's failure to transcend the tribulation!

Baxia snorted, "Nonsense, Brother Hua, let's go!"

Just as Lan Hua and the other two were about to leave, Ya Zi suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

The tense situation escalated immediately, and a sense of oppression swept across Longmen Peak.

Although the three gatekeepers felt immense pressure, their eyes were fixed on the Dragon Gate, completely oblivious to the impending conflict.

Because their duty is to assist in overcoming tribulations.

Everything else is irrelevant.

Lan Hua snorted, "You really are vindictive. Are you going to give in or not?"

"If we don't let them pass, and a fight breaks out, damaging Dragon Gate Peak, even if you are a dragon prince, you probably won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Ya Zi grunted in agreement. "Kid, are you threatening me?"

Baxia snorted, "He's not threatening you, he's warning you!"

He was genuinely worried that if Lan Hua became ruthless, she would take a heavy hit on his second brother.

"Second brother, I advise you not to cause any more trouble. There is a thief within the Dragon Clan. You should know how serious this matter is!"

If you cause trouble again at this time, be careful that your other brothers don't suspect you of being the thief!

"By then, the Dragon Emperor's throne will no longer be yours!"

Ya Zi grunted in agreement, his expression turning grim. Ba Fang's words just now were the real threat.

"Hmph! I'll let you off the hook for now, Sixth Brother. I advise you to behave yourself and stop showing off in front of Father. Watch your tail!"

Ya Zi withdrew his right hand, then hummed a little tune and led the two old men away.

Lan Hua looked at the white-robed youth with a strange look in her eyes, as well as an approving one.

Once upon a time, the still somewhat immature dragon prince Baxia has now grown into a dignified young man, appearing extremely mature with a resolute look in his eyes.

The thought of Baxia having so many brothers, with so much competition and treachery among them, helped him mature a great deal.

Baxia glanced at Yazi as he walked away and sighed softly.

"Brother Hua, let's go back. I'll take you to see the Dragon Emperor tomorrow!"

On the way back.

Lan Hua asked, "Brother Ba, what's the situation with the thief you mentioned?"

Baxia replied, "Brother Hua, this is a secret of my dragon clan. You probably can't tell anyone!"

Don't worry!

"The Dragon Clan has an Ancestral Dragon named Azure Dragon, who is the first true dragon in the world. His cultivation is immeasurable and his supernatural powers are vast. We are all descendants of the Ancestral Dragon."

After the ancestral dragon perished, it left behind four treasures: dragon bones, dragon tendons, dragon scales, and dragon heart!

There's a long-standing rumor among the dragons that whoever gathers all four treasures of the Ancestral Dragon will have the chance to become an emperor!

Lan Hua was greatly surprised that such heaven-defying items as the Four Treasures of the Ancestral Dragon had appeared.

"Brother Ba, you mean the Four Treasures are lost?"

Baxia nodded. "Not everything was lost, only the dragon tendons were missing!"

Lan Hua said "Oh," and then said, "That's good, at least most of them were saved."

However, shouldn't these four treasures be under the direct control of the Dragon Emperor? How could they have been lost?

Hei Lie interjected, "These four treasures are rather peculiar. If they are put together, they will produce the ancestral dragon phenomenon, so they must be placed separately."

Therefore, the Dragon Emperor placed the four treasures in four different locations within the Xiongli Mountain range, using the spiritual energy of each of the four places to nurture them.

However, just a week ago, the dragon tendons were suddenly stolen, enraging the Dragon Emperor, who demanded a thorough investigation!

Lan Hua frowned slightly. Based on his years of experience in the martial world, he judged that the theft of the Dragon Tendon was no simple matter.

Moreover, the fact that this happened at this critical juncture inevitably raises questions.

After pondering for a while, Lan Hua asked, "Can just anyone use these four treasures?"

Baxia uttered a surprising statement.

"If an ordinary dragon obtained these four treasures, at most its cultivation would increase and its strength would become a little stronger."

If the royal family obtains it, as long as their cultivation reaches the peak of the Profound Rank, they can use any one of these treasures to become an emperor and soar to the heavens!

Lan Hua was taken aback. "What? It's possible to become an emperor?"
