"Thank you, Long Xi, for saving the reputation of the dragon clan." The Dragon Lord and Yun Xi walked alone, heading towards where Shen Xi's soul was.
"We are just using each other, but if you can really wake up my mother, then I will protect the dragon clan for life." Yun Xi said lightly. Although she hated the Dragon Lord's meanness, if her mother could be rescued, then nothing else would matter.
The Dragon Lord sighed inwardly. He also wanted to do so, but he had checked the large, rusty iron sword several times and had never felt even a trace of soul fluctuation in it. What Yun Xi held on to was just an illusion.
In the Dragon Lord's opinion, even if the Five Spirits Treasures he imagined could take effect, it would be impossible to successfully awaken the soul in the sword because it did not exist at all.
The two of them walked in silence until they arrived at Yun Xi's birthplace. This place was the same as before, without much change due to her rising status in the Zulong lineage. This was what Yun Xi insisted on, as she didn't want her and her mother's world of two to be destroyed by others.
Yun Xi carefully took out the four Five Spirits treasures, including the Unicorn Bone and the Orchid, and placed them next to the Zhutian Ancestral Sword.
"Now please take out the Original Flame Crystal. Combined with your dragon power, all conditions are met." Yun Xi's eyes showed anticipation. Although her facial expression did not change, her heart was already in turmoil. Her mother's return was her lifelong obsession and was more important than anything else.
The Dragon Lord's powerful dragon power descended in an instant, without any obstruction or resistance. Just as his dragon power acted on the Five Spirit Treasures, a look of determination flashed in the Dragon Lord's eyes. His dragon power also acted on Yun Xi at the same time, completely controlling her when she was completely unprepared.
"You...what are you doing!?" Yun Xi said in shock and anger. The sudden change was beyond her expectations. In her eyes, although the Dragon Lord's previous behavior was a bit despicable, it was entirely for the sake of the Abyss Dragon Clan, which was understandable. She even specifically inquired about the Dragon Lord's character, and everyone had only one evaluation, that is, the Dragon Lord upholds a "noble soul".
"Xier, you are still too naive. Everything you have done is indeed touching, but unfortunately, it is all in vain. Now this farce should end. As a father, I don't want the future young master of the dragon clan to be so disobedient, so I can only let you down." The Dragon Lord sighed lightly, and his already old face looked even older.
What he did today was the most despicable thing he had done in his nearly one million years of life, but he had no regrets and never hesitated. For the Abyss Dragon Clan, he could give everything, even his own life or honor.
The Dragon Lord's dragon power exploded at this moment, concentrating all his strength on Yun Xi.
"It turns out that the dragon soul restriction on your body has not been eliminated, but it is suppressed by your ancient blue dragon soul. Haha, I underestimated the dragon emperor's soul." The Dragon Lord clearly felt that the dragon soul restriction he had set in Yun Xi's body still existed, but it was suppressed by a soul breath that was above his will.
The Ancient Blue Dragon is only an almighty Dragon Emperor recorded in ancient books. Even a Dragon Lord of such age has never seen one in person, so naturally he would not know the peculiarity and power of the Ancient Blue Dragon's soul, because it is the emperor who is above all dragon souls.
"Then today, I will let your ancient blue dragon soul be temporarily silent, so that you will never betray the abyss dragon clan again!" At this point, the Dragon Lord has no other choice but to go all the way to the end. Even if he bears the eternal infamy, he will complete this despicable act at this moment.
Oh!
The soul of the Dragon Lord made a shocking sound and directly invaded Yun Xi's soul sea. The powerful dragon power from the Dragon Lord was released without reservation at this moment.
Yun Xi's young dragon soul seemed so insignificant in front of the Dragon Lord. Although there was a huge gap in the level of their will, it still could not make up for the absolute gap in strength.
With the invasion of the Dragon Lord's soul, Yun Xi's young dragon soul was ruthlessly defeated in an instant, leaving only a trace of will to linger, no longer able to resist the dragon soul restriction. However, the Dragon Lord's decisiveness did not stop there. He injected all the remaining dragon power into the dragon soul restriction, making this already indestructible barrier no longer possible to be suppressed.
After doing all this, a rare pale look appeared on the Dragon Lord's face. This time, he actually used up 30% of his dragon power at his peak to complete all this perfectly. Looking at Yun Xi with a dull look in front of him, a long-lost smile appeared on the Dragon Lord's face. It was all worth it. Although it cost him 50% of his strength, the final result was perfect.
"Xi'er, I want you to never set foot in this place again. Go and destroy the Five Spirits Treasures that you brought back with your own hands!" The Dragon Lord's words were cold and biting. At this moment, he wanted to thoroughly test Yun Xi's loyalty and prevent the previous accident from happening again.
Yun Xi did not respond with any words, but stood up indifferently and walked towards Lin Gu Ling Lan. The dragon power in his hand burst out, and without any hesitation, he ruthlessly destroyed the treasure that he had obtained with great difficulty, leaving no trace. Then the other three Five Spirits treasures were also destroyed decisively and ruthlessly.
Yun Xi's expression did not change from beginning to end. He was like a puppet, without a trace of emotion of his own.
But she remembered this scene deeply in her heart. Her heart was bleeding and her soul was sobbing, but she could not express it or stop it. She could only watch everything happen. Her soul was completely suppressed and she no longer had any desire to resist.
"Okay, very good. From today on, you are the real young master of the dragon clan. I will hand over everything of the dragon clan to you." A look of joy appeared on the face of the Dragon Lord. It was all worth it.
…
On the other side, Yun Che, Lian Yue and others returned to their own settlement. The expression on Yun Che's face was still serious. This time when he came to the Dragon Clan, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined. He originally wanted to slaughter them indiscriminately without any warning, but at this moment he began to hesitate.
"Are you worried about Yun Xi?" Li Su whispered.
“Of course, I can sense something unusual between her and the Dragon Lord, a sense of disharmony, but I can’t find the reason.” Yun Che replied.
"It's normal for you to feel this way, because Yun Xi does have a soul-binding force within him," Li Suo said. "This force should come from the Dragon Lord, but in the Ancestral Dragon Temple today, Yun Xi's soul power completely suppressed this soul-binding force. Perhaps this is why you feel so uncomfortable."
“What did you say!?” The moment Yun Che heard the words “soul confinement,” his entire mind was shaken, and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.
"That's right, Yun Xi may be controlled by the Dragon Lord. Although this soul-binding power is very secretive, it cannot escape my detection." Li Suo said.
“…” Yun Che lowered his head deeply. “I should have known this long ago. She doesn’t even acknowledge me as her father, so how could she acknowledge the Dragon Lord as her adoptive father? I should have known this long ago…”
"I have to go find her. I can't wait even a moment longer." A hint of madness appeared on Yun Che's face. At this moment, everything was thrown out of his mind. He just wanted his daughter to return to normal.
