With the announcement of the final rankings, the Pure Land Conference came to an end, and all the guests from the Kingdom of God left the Pure Land one after another.
"He...actually...died?" Yun Xi was stunned when he heard the news. Now, when he returned to his room, he still couldn't believe it.
Her father, Yun Che, was the one who could deceive all the people in the Abyss and become the one who dreamed of the Abyss in the Dreamweaver Kingdom. How could he die so easily...
But she didn't feel too sad in her heart, but more surprised.
She had been alone for so many years, and there was no deep emotional foundation between her and Yun Che. It was just because he was her biological father that her heart and soul were inevitably touched.
"Mother, I wonder what you'll feel when you wake up... I hope you won't be too sad..."
Yun Xi was thinking more about Shen Xi's reaction after she woke up, rather than the sadness brought about by Yun Che's death.
Yun Xi's hatred for Yun Che over the years also disappeared.
"Long Xi, have you had a rest?" The voice of the Dragon Lord came from outside the door.
"No, please come in, Dragon Lord." Yun Xi put away his surprise and welcomed the arrival of the Dragon Lord.
"Haha, you've worked hard on this trip to the foggy sea. It's really gratifying that you've achieved such good results." The Dragon Lord swept away the sadness on the inner hall of the Pure Land and smiled. Even the wrinkles on his face were a little distorted, which looked very unnatural.
"This is just to complete the transaction with the Dragon Lord. Please tell me the whereabouts of the Original Flame Crystal." Yun Xi had been thinking about this matter and wanted to take the initiative to ask the Dragon Lord, and now it was the right time to say it.
"There is no rush for this matter. I want to ask you, do you know what Wangchu encountered in the fog sea? How could he end up like this? I clearly told you to take good care of Wangchu before entering!" The Dragon Lord put away his smile, and his words were more of a rebuke.
"I don't know. During the last time in the fog sea, I saw him and gave him a drop of blood. Although Long Wangchu was injured at that time, it was not serious. As for what happened after we separated, I really don't know." Yun Xi did not hide anything and told him the actual situation one by one.
The Dragon Lord took a deep breath and digested Yun Xi's words. In fact, he was the one who suspected Yun Xi at the beginning, but he really couldn't think of any reason that would make Yun Xi do this.
Now listening to Yun Xi's words, his doubts gradually subsided, because he knew clearly that what Yun Xi said was true.
If it was really Yun Xi who did it, why would she let herself lose more blood and essence? Besides, Long Wangchu was the basis of the bond between Yun Xi and the dragon clan.
The Dragon Lord sighed softly, "I was possessed by a demon, and shouldn't blame you. Wang Chu is already dead..."
"My condolences." Yun Xi responded indifferently.
"Long Xi, you have been in our Abyss Dragon Clan for nearly a hundred years. Have you ever felt a sense of belonging and regarded the Dragon Clan as your home?" The Dragon Lord asked softly, feeling uneasy in his heart. Even at his age of nearly a million years old, he seemed a little nervous at the moment.
"The Dragon Lord has treated me well. He gave me a place to live and granted my requests. Long Xi is grateful, but the basis of all this is just a transaction. I exchanged my blood for a place to stay, that's all. There is no sense of belonging to speak of." Yun Xi's words were firm, and there was no ripple because of Long Wangchu's death.
"Yes, this is just a deal, but now that Wangchu is dead, the essence and blood in your body are of no use. This deal is dead in name only. You should understand what I mean, right?" A trace of sadness flashed across the Dragon Lord's face. As expected, Long Xi had no feelings for the Abyss Dragon Clan at all.
"I can leave the protection of the dragon clan. Thank you for the care of the Dragon Lord over the years. You just need to tell me the news of the last spiritual treasure, the Original Flame Crystal." Yun Xi had already thought about the possible changes that might happen later, and there was no hesitation in his words.
“…” The Dragon Lord originally thought that he could use this to threaten Long Xi, making her compromise and continue to stay in the Dragon Clan, but he didn’t expect that this little girl was so stubborn.
"Hmph, Long Xi, you should know that even if you gather all five spiritual treasures, you still need my dragon power to be effective! Now that Wang Chu is gone, you are completely unimportant to me. I don't need to expend dragon power on you at all." The Dragon Lord issued a threatening tone.
"Dragon Lord! We agreed before...how could you do this!" Yun Xi's eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief. The person standing in front of her was the Dragon Lord of the Abyss Dragon Clan, the highly respected Dragon Lord.
"I've already said that the basis of all our previous transactions was because Wangchu needed you. Now this basis is gone. What do you think I should do?" The Dragon Lord snorted coldly, and his entire aura changed completely.
"You! As the Dragon Lord, you actually do such a despicable thing. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world? Do you, the Abyss Dragon Clan, still have any faith?" Yun Xi was so angry that she laughed and her whole body was shaking. She had never seen such a shameless superior.
"Haha, can one sentence from you affect the reputation that I, Long, have accumulated over nearly a million years? Ridiculous, you are just an ant, and you still want to shake this world?" The Dragon Lord completely lost his usual dignity. He was like a mad old man. His only direct descendant was gone, so he had no scruples.
Yun Xi lowered her head, her entire body emanating a sense of dejection and powerlessness. She felt as if the sky was about to collapse, and her life was about to fall into eternal darkness. Her only obsession in this life was to save her mother and live happily with her...
"How can you help me? As long as I can borrow your dragon power, I can agree to anything you want..." Yun Xi raised her head, her eyes were no longer bright. She finally compromised completely. Nothing was more important than her mother.
"Haha, you're quite clever, young lady. You young people are very sensible and know the big picture." The Dragon Lord smiled with satisfaction. "It's not a difficult request, actually. I want you to acknowledge me as your adoptive father, become the new heir of the Ancestral Dragon lineage, and then inherit my position as Dragon Lord in the future, and work for the well-being of the Abyssal Dragon Clan."
The Dragon Lord's conditions seemed like a blessing from heaven to ordinary people, but in Yun Xi's eyes, they were like a cage, imprisoning her future, making it impossible for her to break free. This was not what she wanted...
"I...promise..."
Yun Xi spoke with difficulty. For her mother, she could give up her freedom. "What's the news about the Primordial Flame Crystal?"
"Don't worry, I will tell you after we return to the Ancestral Dragon Temple and announce the news." The Dragon Lord left with satisfaction.
…
Sea of fog.
Yun Che slowly opened his eyes and stopped suppressing his cultivation. The aura on his body increased again, directly reaching the peak of the fifth level of the Divine Lord Realm, and was not far from the sixth level of the Divine Lord Realm.
“Huh, I’m finally done with that uncomfortable feeling of my profound energy swelling. Being at the fifth level of the Divine Lord Realm isn’t bad. I wonder if I can open the Divine Ashes Realm on my own after I reach the Demigod Realm. If I can, I’ll also be able to fight at the Divine Extreme Realm.” Yun Che felt much better.
"You haven't absorbed the light soul power I left for you yet, but it may be of help to you when the time comes." Li Suo said.
"Yeah, I know. I want to wait until the right time to absorb it."
Yun Che stood up, ready to begin his next plan. "It's time to begin the plan to plunder and destroy the six nations' divine sources. Let's start with the simplest one, the Owl Butterfly Divine Nation."
"Pan Buwang will probably come to the Mist Sea to find me soon. I will then help him continue to improve his dark profound strength so that he can improve as soon as possible and qualify to inherit the Divine Source."
