Qin Feng grinned. "I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously!"
Ning Yao was stunned for a moment, speechless. She didn't think Qin Feng's tone just now sounded like he was joking with her.
"Master, I promise you, I will definitely..."
"Uh, I was really just joking with you!" Qin Feng interrupted Ning Yao, saying sincerely. "Just do your best later."
"If we're outmatched, we should prioritize self-preservation; there's no need to fight to the death!"
"I nurtured you to the Ancient Emperor Realm not so that you would sacrifice yourself, but to make you my right-hand man!"
"It will be very useful in the future!"
"I'm telling the truth, stop making things up!"
Ning Yao looked astonished, somewhat unable to believe that Qin Feng would be so kind.
She felt like she was dreaming. Only in a dream could Qin Feng be this good?
However, Qin Feng didn't seem to be teasing her. After a moment's thought, she nodded heavily. "I understand!"
Something was definitely amiss, and she began to suspect that Qin Feng was plotting something.
Long Ao frowned slightly. "Master, I suggest we retreat!"
"Thousands of Immortal Emperors and hundreds of Heavenly Emperors—this power is too strong!"
"We don't need to stay and risk our lives!"
Qin Feng looked at Long Ao meaningfully and asked, "Doesn't your dragon clan have any trump cards up your sleeve?"
Long Ao was stunned for a moment, then decisively shook his head. "No!"
"If they had any trump cards, they wouldn't have been almost wiped out by Xiong Potian before!"
Qin Feng gave a half-smile. "Really not?"
"Then explain the blood sacrifice at the ancestral land of the dragons?"
Long Ao frowned slightly and explained, "That's an extremely cruel method of summoning; sacrificing the lives of thousands of dragons is enough to summon the Ancestral Dragon!"
"However, this is just a legend. Whether it's true or not, we'll only know after we do it!"
"Master, we dragons are absolutely loyal to you and would never deceive you or hide anything from you?"
Qin Feng did not believe Long Ao's words. At that time, he vaguely sensed that a very terrifying power was awakening hidden in the ancestral land of the dragon clan.
After Ning Yao interrupted the dragon clan's life-saving sacrifice, that power disappeared.
If that power is the Ancestral Dragon that Long Ao mentioned, then the dragon race should not be in mortal danger if they sacrifice their life force.
Otherwise, the dragon race would have been extinct, so what would be the point of summoning the ancestral dragon?
As the ancestral dragon, how could he possibly allow his descendants to summon him in such an evil way?
However, Long Ao might not know this, so it can't be considered as hiding or deceiving him.
"Go back!"
"If the dragons want to leave, I won't stop them!"
"But before you evacuate, you need to figure out where you're going."
"Will Xiong Potian give up because of the Dragon Clan's withdrawal?"
"Although the Celestial Realm is vast, it seems impossible for several thousand dragons to completely disappear, right?"
Long Ao's expression changed slightly; he hadn't even considered this aspect.
That's right. Although the Celestial Realm is vast, there are thousands of dragons, so it's impossible for them to completely disappear.
Xiong Potian will definitely be able to find the Dragon Clan. How should we deal with them then?
Qin Feng and Ning Yao are still around now, but what about later?
Qin Feng and Ning Yao won't stay with the Dragon Clan forever.
"Master, I know what to do?"
Long Ao sighed almost imperceptibly, then vanished in a flash.
He needed to get back as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with the Dragon Clan's higher-ups.
Ning Yao watched Long Ao disappear from sight before turning her gaze to Qin Feng, asking suspiciously.
"Master, do you perhaps intend to use this opportunity to investigate the secrets hidden in the ancestral land of the dragon race?"
Qin Feng glanced at Ning Yao. "How is that possible?"
"I was merely reminding the dragons to prepare for the worst!"
"By the way, I'll keep Xiong Potian occupied while you try your best to keep those thousands of Immortal Emperors and Heavenly Emperors occupied!"
"If there is any danger to your life, just run away and don't worry about anything."
Ning Yao stared at Qin Feng for a while, then nodded. "I've got it!"
Although Qin Feng did not admit it, she firmly believed in her guess.
Qin Feng wanted to use this opportunity to hide the secrets within the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan.
Since Qin Feng wouldn't admit it, she couldn't say much, otherwise she'd inevitably get another beating on the backside.
...
A dozen minutes later.
Long Ao and Long Xingtian arrived at the valley.
As soon as they arrived in front of Qin Feng and Ning Yao, the father and son knelt down on both knees.
"Master, we are sorry. We concealed something from you before. We hope you can forgive us!"
Long Ao looked bitter. He had just gone back and summoned the high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan for a discussion.
Unexpectedly, I learned that summoning the Ancestral Dragon would not be life-threatening at all, but would only consume a lot of life force.
Qin Feng glanced at Long Ao and smiled. "It's nothing, get up!"
"As long as you are loyal to me, I won't care what you hide!"
Long Ao and Long Xingtian relaxed, realizing that Qin Feng was telling the truth.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Master!"
Long Ao and Long Xingtian stood up one after the other, and then Long Ao spoke.
“Master, I just found out that summoning the Ancestral Dragon will only consume a lot of life force, and there will be no danger to life.”
"The summoned Ancestral Dragon is not its true form, but merely the remnant will of the Ancestral Dragon!"
"Therefore, his strength is limited; he's probably at most at the peak of the Ancient Emperor realm!"
Qin Feng glanced at Long Ao and Long Xingtian. Was this the remnant will of the Ancestral Dragon?
He found it hard to believe that the power he sensed was something that a remnant of his will could not possess.
However, Long Ao and Long Xingtian were probably not lying.
After all, the Dragon Clan has never summoned the Ancestral Dragon, so how could they be sure what it was?
"In that case, then when the crucial moment comes, you can try summoning it!"
"Even if it's only the early to mid-stage of the Ancient Emperor realm, it's enough to reverse the situation!"
"But before that, you still need to make preparations in advance."
"For example, formations and the like, make as many as you can!"
"I have plenty of materials and spirit stones!"
Immediately, Qin Feng took out a storage ring and handed it to Long Ao. "Go and prepare quickly!"
"Tianxiong Ridge is still some time away from here, but there should still be enough time!"
Long Ao and Long Xingtian both nodded and turned to flee.
"Master, should we make some preparations in advance?"
Ning Yao frowned and said, "After all, Xiong Potian is at the peak of the Ancient Emperor Realm!"
Are you really confident you can handle this?
Qin Feng smiled mockingly. "What's so scary about something created through crooked and unethical means?"
"At worst, I'll unleash the full power of a Primordial Chaos Treasure and I'm sure I can kill it!"
Ning Yao felt that Qin Feng had been somewhat careless. She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said.
"Master, I think you're being a bit too presumptuous!"
"Don't forget, behind Xiong Potian is the Demon Lord Bingpo!"
"Even if you manage to kill Xiong Potian, your immortal spiritual power will inevitably be depleted!"
"What if Ice Soul's clone takes the opportunity to attack? How will you deal with that?"
