Lan Hua suddenly slapped the back of her head and said, "What on earth is the Dragon Emperor up to? What is his reason for doing this?"

Baxia shook his head.

Just then, Hei Lie walked over, bringing some fine wine and food.

Everyone then began to eat and drink heartily.

This was no ordinary wine; after drinking it to her heart's content, Lan Hua recounted what had happened that day.

Hei Lie, slightly drunk, said in a daze, "Actually, I also think that none of the five dragon sons stole the Ancestral Dragon's treasure."

After all, the Dragon Emperor had told his sons that anyone who coveted the Ancestral Dragon's treasure would have their true dragon form destroyed.

Moreover, the process of becoming emperor will definitely be discovered by the Dragon Emperor, who will surely interrupt it.

However, the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure is of little use to ordinary dragons, and it's impossible for them to steal it!

Lan Hua shook her head and asked, "What's the point of saying all this nonsense? We still can't find the thief!"

Hei Lie hesitated and said, "That's not necessarily true. I've been in the Xiongli Mountain Realm for more than a year or two, and I've heard a lot of rumors."

There's a message that might be useful.

"A demonic dragon clan exists in the Fierce Plow Mountain realm, possessing abilities unlike any other dragon. They have obtained the Ancestral Dragon's treasure, which may prove invaluable!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Hua was startled and instantly came to her senses.

"Brother Hei Lie, are you saying that there are also demonic dragons in the Xiongli Mountain Realm?"

"Where is the Dragon Clan?"

After Hei Lie spoke for a long time, Lan Hua finally understood the location: south of the Xiongli Mountain boundary, in the Wushan Mountain range.

Baxia also sobered up. He exchanged a glance with Lanhua, and their first thought was to immediately go to the Wushan Mountains to explore.

The two appeared in the south in a flash, while Hei Lie was already fast asleep.

"Brother Ba, what do you know about the Demon Dragon race?"

Baxia pondered for a moment and said, "The Demon Dragon Clan caused a lot of trouble tens of thousands of years ago, but after a period of internal reorganization, they completely quieted down."

For so long, the Demon Dragon Clan has never caused any trouble in the Fierce Plow Mountain Realm; they've been quite well-behaved!

Lan Hua laughed and said, "Whether they are behaving themselves or not, we'll have to investigate further to find out!"

When the two arrived near the Wushan Mountains, Lan Hua used an invisibility talisman to completely conceal her and Baxia's auras.

During the infiltration, Lan Hua transmitted her voice, "Who is in charge of the Demon Dragon Clan?"

"Demon Dragon Queen, Fang Ran!" Baxia said.

"Fang Ran's cultivation level is at the Quasi-Emperor level, but she is no match for the Dragon Emperor. As long as the Dragon Emperor is alive, she will not dare to act recklessly!"

With the help of invisibility talismans, the two cautiously traversed Wushan Mountain and soon arrived at a palace deep within the mountain range.

The palace was magnificent, but its dark color scheme suited the style of the dragon.

Inside the central hall, a woman dressed in formal attire, with a thin red line under her eyes, looked somewhat alluring.

At the head of the hall, there was a throne, extremely spacious, like a bed.

The woman was reclining on the throne, her eyelids drooping, looking extremely languid.

Lan Hua knew that this woman was Fang Ran, the head of the Demon Dragon Clan.

Below the throne stood two men who looked extremely burly.

The woman asked lazily, "Fang Ying, has anything important happened in the Dragon Clan recently?"

The man on the left said, "Your Majesty, the realm has always been peaceful."

The Dragon Emperor was still furious that the Ancestral Dragon's treasure was lost, and he seemed to have developed a grudge against his sons.

However, a human came to the Fierce Plow Mountain realm yesterday. His name was Lan Hua; he was a friend of the little turtle and said he was summoned by the Dragon Emperor!

Fang Ran gave an "oh" and muttered to herself, "What could the Dragon Emperor's purpose be in summoning a human?"

One of the people on the right below said, "Could they be here to investigate the whereabouts of the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure? After all, humans are cunning and resourceful; they might have some way to find it!"

Fang Ran nodded slightly.

"Fang Xiong makes a good point. Tell Lao San to hurry up and not let things go wrong!"

Lan Hua and Ba Xia exchanged a glance and quickly retreated.

Their intuition told them that something big was happening or something was going on within the dragon race.

Before the quasi-emperor, the two dared not communicate at all, not even telepathically, for they were highly likely to be discovered.

After leaving the palace, Lan Hua transmitted her voice, saying, "Although I don't know what major event it is, it's still necessary to go and take a look!"

Baxia nodded slightly, agreeing with Lanhua's idea.

The two followed Fang Xiong for a long time before arriving at another place in Wushan, the Abyss of Wushan.

The entrance to the Wushan Abyss was extremely well hidden, without any seals, only a very narrow slit.

If one relies on divine sense to explore, it is easy to miss this place. Even if an emperor were to take action, it would be easy to capsize.

The abyss of Wushan was extremely deep. As soon as their divine senses probed into it, they were swallowed up, and they could not find a single clue.

"Brother Hua, what should we do?"

Lan Hua transmitted her voice, "We have no choice but to go down and investigate!"

The two slowly descended, and the abyss of Wushan seemed like a bottomless pit, taking a long time to reach the ground.

The bottom of the abyss is extremely wide, and there is also a very wide river.

The two dared not follow too closely, and watched from a distance directly below the entrance.

A figure stepped out from the depths. "Second Brother, what brings you here?"

The man deep inside was very young, dressed in black, with deep eyes, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Xuan rank.

Lan Hua took a closer look and couldn't help but silently hum in agreement.

He discovered that this person bore a resemblance to Baxia.

Looking at Baxia sideways, Lan Hua became even more convinced of her own eyes.

Fang Xiong said, "Third brother, Mother said that you should hurry up and get things done to prevent any unforeseen circumstances!"

The man frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"I originally planned to wait two more days to adjust my condition before fusing with the Ancestral Dragon's Tendon."

"Fine, I'll give it a try today!"

Fang Xiong nodded, a strange look appearing in his eyes, a mixture of envy and jealousy.

"The future of the Dragon Clan is in your hands. Once you become the Emperor, the future ruler of the Dragon Clan will be yours!"

"When the time comes, as your second older brother, won't you have to take care of me?"

The man said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, Second Brother. The Ancestral Dragon Tendon was retrieved by Mother and my two elder brothers together. I will never forget your kindness!"

"Now I can rest assured!"

"The Wushan Abyss has a special terrain. Even if you fuse with the sinews of the Ancestral Dragon and an anomaly occurs, it will swallow everything up, and no one outside will know."

"We are all waiting for you to become the emperor, the future Dragon Emperor!"

Fang Xiong left the Abyss of Wushan with satisfaction and flew towards the palace of the Demon Dragon Clan.

Lan Hua and Ba Xia were shocked to learn that the Ancestral Dragon's Tendon had indeed been taken by the Demon Dragon Clan.

More importantly, that cold-blooded man actually wanted to use the tendons of the Ancestral Dragon to break through to the Emperor realm.

Lan Hua quickly realized the key: this person had royal blood; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fully utilize the wonders of the Ancestral Dragon's Tendon.

The Demon Dragon is not royalty; this person is a descendant of the Demon Dragon's concubine, Ran.

All clues suggest that this person is very likely a descendant of the Dragon Queen and a brother of Baxia.

"Brother Ba, this kid isn't really your brother, is he? The tenth son of the Dragon Emperor?"

Baxia's expression was complicated. Although he couldn't believe it, he nodded silently.

Just then, the cold-blooded man shouted.

"Who's there? Show yourself to me, Your Highness!"
