"Grand Elder."
Long Feihong stepped forward, as if wanting to help.
"The old man is fine."
The Grand Elder shook his head, his steps were slow but steady.
He walked slowly to the top seat, where there was a chair next to Long Feihong.
In the past, this chair belonged to the old Dragon King.
He had been in seclusion before and rarely cared about the affairs of the Dragon Palace.
Even the old Dragon King only comes here occasionally.
Now that the old Dragon King is gone, it is natural for him to sit here when he comes.
"Grand Elder, please take a seat."
Long Feihong said to the Grand Elder.
"Um."
The Grand Elder nodded, slowly sat down, and then glanced at everyone.
"Everyone, please sit down."
"yes."
Including Long Feihong, everyone took their seats and looked at the Grand Elder.
They were all a little worried, as the Grand Elder's condition did not seem to be very good.
Much older than before!
As people who have reached the half-step innate state and the great perfection of transformation, they know what is going on.
The damage to the foundation is too severe, and the loss of life force is too serious.
The second elder looked at the first elder with a questioning look in his eyes.
The Great Elder shook his head slightly and said nothing.
"Don't make wild guesses or worry. I'm fine... I can still live for a few more years!"
The Grand Elder naturally noticed their little movements and spoke slowly.
"As long as I am here, no one can shake the Dragon Palace!"
After hearing the words of the Grand Elder, everyone, including Long Feihong, felt relieved.
If there are no innate masters in Dragon Palace, disaster will definitely befall them!
"You were discussing the Qingyan Sect just now, right?"
The Grand Elder looked at Long Feihong and asked.
"Yes, Grand Elder."
Long Feihong nodded. In fact, the two of them had discussed this matter a long time ago and they were also worried.
However, the Fourth Elder brought it up today, and it is inevitable that it needs to be discussed.
Qingyan Sect... No one knows whether this sword hanging over the head of Dragon Palace will fall down.
Therefore, Dragon Palace should make preparations early.
"Don't worry about Qingyan Sect... After I recover from my injury, I will go to Qingyan Sect."
The Grand Elder said slowly.
"But I think it won't be long before the Qingyan Sect sends someone over... When the time comes, I will talk to them in person."
Long Feihong's heart moved slightly. Talk in person?
Could it be that the Grand Elder has a solution?
Or is it just to comfort them and stabilize the situation?
He didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask too much in front of everyone.
"There is still some connection between our Dragon Palace and the Qingyan Sect... Of course, with the reality of the martial arts world, the affection we had back then has long since disappeared."
When the Grand Elder said this, he coughed and his face turned pale.
"We jointly manage the 'Azure Dragon Secret Realm' with the Azure Flame Sect because they are afraid of the old Dragon King and me, and they are also afraid that we will destroy the Azure Dragon Secret Realm... For this reason, the Azure Flame Sect dare not go too far."
Hearing this, the elders nodded, they had also heard about this matter.
However, they don’t know the details. Only the Dragon Kings and the Great Elder of all generations know.
The Grand Elder was also the Great Elder before, so he knew it too.
Including Long Feihong and the current Grand Elder, there are only three people in the entire Dragon Palace who know about it.
"So, there is no need to worry about the Qingyan Sect for the time being. The most urgent task is to bury the old Dragon King in peace."
The Grand Elder looked around.
"How did you discuss this matter?"
“There are results.”
Hearing the question from the Grand Elder, Long Feihong told him the results of their discussion just now.
"Um."
The Supreme Elder nodded. This matter was indeed not suitable to be celebrated in a grand manner, because the old Dragon King died in battle.
What's more...it's not advisable to make too many movements in the Dragon Palace right now.
The Qingyan Sect is one of them, and other forces... may not be eyeing the Dragon Palace!
For example, don’t the other two sects besides the three sects have any ideas about Dragon Palace?
There are also several major forces in the Nine Palaces, some of which are hostile to the Dragon Palace. Will they take advantage of the death of the old Dragon King to deal with the Dragon Palace?
Compared to the Qingyan Sect, the Grand Elder is more worried about other forces.
It can be said that the Dragon Palace today is full of too many risks. It is no exaggeration to say that it is "walking on thin ice". Every step must be taken with caution.
"Let's do as you say. After we bury the old Dragon King, we will avenge him! We must avenge him!"
When the Grand Elder thought of the battle that day, his eyes flashed with murderous intent and fear.
Xiao Chen... is too strong!
He had never seen a young man so strong!
Even the descendants of the three sects cannot compare to him!
If Xiao Chen was given more time, the Dragon Palace would be in real danger.
Therefore, before Xiao Chen truly enters the innate realm, he must be eliminated!
"yes!"
Long Feihong nodded.
"This hatred must be avenged!"
After chatting for a while, the Grand Elder seemed a little tired and his face became paler.
"Okay, let's all go. Just do what you need to do."
"yes."
All the elders stood up and left.
Including the great elder, he also left.
puff!
After everyone left, the Grand Elder spat out a mouthful of blood and his body shook a few times.
"Grand Elder."
Long Feihong was startled and hurriedly supported the Grand Elder.
"How are you?"
"It's nothing. The injury this time is too serious."
The Grand Elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
"Have someone deal with the blood on the table and don't let it get out, otherwise... people will panic."
Long Feihong looked at the blood on the table and felt a little depressed. It seemed that what the Supreme Elder said just now was purely to calm people's hearts!
"Yes, Grand Elder."
"cough."
The Grand Elder coughed, supported himself on the table with both hands, and slowly stood up.
"Come on, accompany me to see the old Dragon King."
"yes."
Long Feihong nodded, supported the Grand Elder, and walked out.
After he came out, he ordered, "Deal with it cleanly. If anyone dares to spread it, kill him."
Long Feihong and the Grand Elder left the palace and came to the entrance of the fault.
The two walked in slowly, without any sense of space. It was very stable here, and it didn't feel like they were in another space.
"This old man...may not live more than a year."
After entering this space, the Grand Elder spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Long Feihong's face changed again. He won't live for more than a year?
Although he knew that the Grand Elder was seriously injured, one year... was too short, right?
The next second, he gritted his teeth, it was all Xiao Chen.
Because of Xiao Chen, his Dragon Palace... is going to lose two innate beings!
If it weren't for this battle, the Supreme Elder would definitely have no problem living another ten or eight years!
"I told you this because I wanted you to prepare early..."
The Grand Elder looked at Long Feihong and said.
“Right now, there are six Half-step Xiantians in Dragon Palace, but it is almost impossible to produce another Xiantian… Maybe in the future, Half-step Xiantians will be the top fighting force in the ancient martial arts world. Some of these old guys are almost dead.”
"Grand Elder, how should I prepare?"
Long Feihong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked.
"After we kill Xiao Chen, we will blockade Dragon Island."
The Grand Elder said slowly.
"Don't do anything else except entering the Azure Dragon Secret Realm... If you are lucky, you may have a chance to break through to the Xiantian realm in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, but that is too slim! Over the years, no one in the Qingyan Sect who has reached the half-step Xiantian realm has broken through."
Long Feihong nodded and said, yes, it is impossible.
"As for the Qingyan Sect... what I said is not a lie. They will not let us destroy the Qinglong Secret Realm. They will definitely be afraid! At that time, we will take a step back. As long as the Dragon Palace exists, there should be no problem."
The Grand Elder spoke again.
“…”
Long Feihong felt unhappy. Has the Dragon Palace fallen to this point?
When the old Dragon King was alive, their Dragon Palace had the confidence to face the Qingyan Sect.
But now... I have to retreat.
As the two were talking, they came to the place where the old Dragon King was in seclusion and met the old Dragon King.
The old Dragon King, who had been tyrannical all his life, now lay there quietly, his face pale.
His head... has been reattached.
"Xiao Chen must die."
The Grand Elder looked at the old Dragon King's corpse and his voice became a little colder.
"If our Dragon Palace cannot take revenge, then let Qingyan Sect help."
Hearing the words of the Grand Elder, Long Feihong was stunned. Asking Qingyan Sect for help?
"If you don't enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm for twenty years, I think the Azure Flame Sect will agree."
Without waiting for Long Feihong to ask, the Supreme Elder continued.
"If we don't enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm for twenty years, then doesn't that mean that the Dragon Palace has no chance at all?"
Long Feihong frowned.
"Entering the Azure Dragon Secret Realm is just a consolation. The chances are too slim... What Dragon Palace lacks now is innate masters, not transformation masters. Do you understand?"
The Grand Elder looked at Long Feihong and said seriously.
"Comparatively speaking, killing Xiao Chen is not only to avenge the old Dragon King, but also because he is too threatening! If we don't kill him, he will attack Dragon Island and destroy Dragon Palace within a year, let alone twenty years! By then, even if I am still alive, I will not be able to stop him."
“…”
Long Feihong was silent, and at the same time he felt very aggrieved.
The dignified Dragon Palace forced a young man to such a point!
"Don't even mention twenty years. As long as Xiao Chen can be killed, it's not a bad idea to hand over the control of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm."
The Grand Elder said in a deep voice.
"The foundation of our Dragon Palace is enough to support its development for the next ten to twenty years, so the Azure Dragon Secret Realm is not that important... On the contrary, if Xiao Chen is alive, our Dragon Palace may be destroyed."
"Feihong understands."
Long Feihong clenched his fists and lowered his head.
"Well, I'm glad you understand...When it's time to give up, you still have to give up."
The Grand Elder nodded.
"You go ahead, I'm here... to keep the old Dragon King company!"
"yes."
Long Feihong nodded, turned and left.
After Long Feihong left, the Grand Elder slowly approached and looked at the old Dragon King: "Tell me, is my decision right? If there really comes a day like that, the Dragon Palace should probably leave here! All I can do is try to keep the Dragon Palace in this world!"
As he finished speaking, another mouthful of blood spurted out, and his white hair became even grayer.
"Well, it may not be long before I have to go see you...Batian, you are really wrong this time!"
