Following the cleansing of the Qilin clan, the dragons in the imperial capital left Zhongzhou one after another and scattered around the world.

The most visited place is the ancestral land of the dragons, Beiming Fanyang. The second is Dongzhou where the Canglong clan is located.

In addition, there were also some who went to Nanzhou and Xizhou, but most of them gradually lost contact later.

Seeing this, Long Long was about to continue reading, but found that there was no more below.

"And then?" He looked up at Shi Yao curiously and asked, "Which descendants of the Jiaolong are still in contact with us?"

Shi Yao: …

You just entered the Dongyuan realm and immediately regarded yourself as a Jiaolong elder, right?

Although she was complaining in her heart, she still answered calmly:

"The Qingqiu Mountain line in Xizhou, the Dashu Mountain line in Nanzhou, and the Pingyang Mountain line in Dongzhou."

"What about Beiming Fanyang?" Long Long asked.

"Beiming Fanyang..." Shi Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "The Beiming Fanyang lineage will only contact us when they think they need us."

"Oh." Long Long nodded in sudden realization. "So the Jiaolongs in Beiming Fanyang think they are the main branch of the Jiaolong clan, and they treat us branches like tools, calling us here when they need us, and sending us away when they don't, right?"

This time Shi Yao remained silent for even longer:

"Long Long, haven't you learned the meaning of 'euphemism'?"

"I understand, I understand. So Master, am I right?" Long Long asked with a smile.

Shi Yao sighed deeply and said:

"The current Donghuang Realm is too unfavorable to our Jiaolong clan. It is understandable that Beiming Fanyang is more cautious."

"Master, could it be that they have always been the only ones contacting us, and we have no way to contact them at all?" Long Long asked in disbelief.

Shi Yao felt it was difficult to speak, and she only heard Long Long say:

"But Master, you are the elder of the Canglong clan! Beiming Fanyang treats you so badly, aren't you afraid that we will tell Canglong about their intelligence?"

"How could I do that!" Shi Yao said unhappily.

"But this doesn't stop us from making them think we want to do this, right?" Long Long said earnestly.

This time Shi Yao was silent for a long time before she slowly said:

"Long Long, you have to know that due to the suffering that the Jiaolong clan has endured over the years, trust is extremely precious to us."

"Don't destroy this trust just because you're angry. Do you understand?"

Long Long nodded and said:

"I see. So Beiming Fanyang doesn't trust us at all. They just want to use us to achieve their goals."

Shi Yao: …

Although that's true, can't you say it less bluntly?

"That's enough." Shi Yao had to interrupt him and said, "You are right, but don't say anymore."

"If we and Beiming Fanyang cannot reach a consensus at this stage, then one side must make concessions, otherwise it will only make our relatives sad and our enemies happy."

"There must be some problems with Beiming Fanyang. Since they contacted us, they have been asking for money, supplies, and intelligence, but they won't reveal what they are for or any other information."

At this point, Shi Yao suddenly lowered her voice and said:

"I suspect they may be fighting among themselves."

"Internal strife?" Long Long also pondered.

From some perspectives, a closed society that has not had any contact with the outside world for tens of thousands of years is indeed prone to problems to a certain extent - the main contradiction is whether or not it should have contact with the outside world.

As long as the number of people increases, there will definitely be dragons who want to contact the outside world. However, judging from the current situation of Beiming Fanyang, these "extroverts" will definitely be brutally suppressed.

Maybe it's just an internal fight between extroverts and conservatives.

Having said that, you can fight among yourselves, but please don’t destroy the classics and materials stored in the clan. My fox is counting on these materials to solve the blood conflict problem in his body once and for all!

After thinking it over, Long Long decided to confirm it as soon as possible, so he asked Shi Yao:

"How was the communication with Beiming Fanyang accomplished? Was there any record in the past?"

Shi Yao pondered for a moment, then took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it over.

Long Long looked carefully and found that it was indeed written down by Shi Yao himself. The communication records with Beiming Fanyang over the past few hundred years were roughly as follows:

Beiming Fanyang: We need thirty loads of moon crystals. Delivery will follow the old rules.

Shi Yao: Paid.

Beiming Fanyang: We need two hundred fire flying swords. The sword types cannot be repeated. The delivery will follow the old rules.

Shi Yao: Two hundred fire flying swords are no problem, but not repeating them is a bit too much. What do you need so many flying swords for?

Shi Yao: Paid.

Beiming Fanyang: I need a transformation-level demon pill, a blue phoenix species of the Feather Clan, and the delivery will follow the old rules.

Shi Yao: What do you want the Qingluan Demon Pill for?

Shi Yao: The Qingluan clan is a large feather clan. It is too risky to hunt down its Transformation Realm cultivators. If you don't explain the reason clearly, we can't take this risk.

Shi Yao: Can't we use the demon pills from other feather tribes? Why must we use the blue phoenix seed?

Shi Yao: Is there any reason that you are not comfortable telling?

Shi Yao: Paid.

…

Long Long: ...

Master, your humble appearance makes me cry! Are you sure this is not a new form of online fraud?

"Ahem." Shi Yao said somewhat awkwardly, "The things they want are actually not much each time, and they are not difficult to get. It's just that they just open their mouths to ask for things, and they are unwilling to say anything else. This is really a headache for us."

"It's just that this is the only form of communication between us and Beiming Fanyang right now. If we don't meet their requirements and this communication channel is abandoned, it will be even more difficult for us to contact them later."

"I see." Long Long said with a complicated expression, "What does this 'following the old rules' mean? How does Master usually communicate with Beiming Fanyang and give things to them?"

"Through this formation diagram." Shi Yao took out another scroll and spread it on the ground. "Put the object on this formation diagram, and then just activate the formation to transmit it. Of course, it can also be used to transmit jade slips."

Long Long looked at the formation diagram carefully.

This formation diagram is actually a magic weapon, equivalent to a simplified version of the Red Dust Hundred Worlds Diagram, which can transmit things from one end to the other.

Of course, only inanimate objects.

Due to the lack of spirit, this type of transmission seems too simple and crude. Not to mention living things, even soft objects such as herbs and books are not very effective and can be easily damaged in the process.

"Oh, there's another piece of news." Shi Yao said suddenly.

Suddenly, the formation diagram flashed with a faint light, and then a jade slip appeared in the center.

Long Long probed his consciousness into it and saw the following words written inside:

"We need to keep our heart and soul in mind, and deliver according to the old rules."
