"Which unlucky fellow is fighting against the dragons today?"
"I'm not really sure. I heard it was something like the Floating Sect or the Floating Gate, but I can't remember. Anyway, it's definitely no match for the Dragon Clan."
"That's right. Lord Longyin and Lord Longyi are incredibly powerful. Those are just weaklings who want the Golden Dragon Blood and are even pressuring our sect. We're going to beat up these shameless people."
...
Since the Dragon Clan set up an arena in the central square of Liudan City, the topic of conversation among the city's residents during their leisure time has basically become the same: this matter.
At first, everyone was worried that the Dragon Clan would lose, and that Liudan City and Liuyue Sect would also lose face.
However, as the battle continued day by day, several days have passed, and the various forces that came not only failed to obtain the Golden Dragon Blood, but were also dealt with by the Dragon Clan.
Everyone's mood changed from initial worry to anticipation every day for the start of the event, to see the dragon clan's lords beat the challengers to a pulp.
The dragons of the dragon race also used their strength to tell everyone that their golden dragon blood was not so easy to obtain.
After a period of time, one-third of those who initially came to coerce the Liuyue Sect were defeated, and another third were scared away.
The remaining third are still clinging to the hope that they might win, and waiting with an attitude of not giving up until they hit a wall.
Seeing this, Long Yi and Long Yin did not drive them away or intimidate them. Since those people wanted to fight, they would grant their wish.
After all, free human punching bags that only need to be kept alive are rare finds, and it would be a shame to waste them.
Of course, this does not mean that they will be careless. Because it concerns the blood of the golden dragon, every dragon that goes into battle wants to go all out.
He was worried that if he lost, he would have to give away a drop of golden dragon blood.
Although this drop of golden dragon blood could eventually be exchanged for a lot of resources, no matter how many resources there were, in their hearts, nothing was more important than the dragon blood.
And so, the arena battles in Liudan City continued in full swing, while the Dragon Clan was far from at peace.
More than half a month is enough time for people from the three continents of the southeast, west and east to travel to the Dragon Clan.
Compared to the direct sword fights and forceful suppression in Liudan City, the Dragon Clan faces various subtle tactics, verbal traps, and so on.
Fortunately, the dragons are not truly ignorant of everything. The dragon chief, Long Ke, is an extremely cunning and scheming dragon.
When it clashed with those forces that were full of traps and pitfalls, it held its own, and after a long and drawn-out discussion, it managed to gain no advantage whatsoever.
Those people exchanged glances, knowing that Long Ke was a slippery character, so they had no choice but to abandon their verbal scheming and directly express their intentions.
Long Ke was satisfied, and then he took out a list of supplies that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and distributed one to each person.
When those people saw the list, their expressions were priceless, a riot of colors, enough to open a dye shop.
Long Ke didn't urge them. He just sat at the top and watched their faces with great interest, like watching a monkey show. It was quite a unique experience.
It took them quite a while to realize Long Ke's perverse sense of humor. Their faces darkened, but they quickly composed themselves.
Then, the two sides entered a phase of back-and-forth bargaining.
Long Ke, relying solely on his dragon status, managed to outwit everyone and exchange every drop of golden dragon blood for a high price, even higher than at the auction.
This result meant that those who should have been happy to receive the Golden Dragon Blood left Dragon Island with grim faces.
Unfortunately, Long Ke was a bit of a rascal. He happily carried a bunch of storage rings to deliver them, and even smiled broadly, saying that he would come again if needed next time.
Looking at those people, I just wanted to turn around and beat them up right then and there.
Unfortunately, Dragon Island was not a place where they could act recklessly. The dragons watching them with predatory eyes all around them served as a clear reminder.
Trying to trap Long Ke on Dragon Island is impossible, unless you're not worried about getting beaten half to death, paralyzed, and ultimately becoming a cripple.
Under such threats, those people were furious, but they dared not act rashly. They could only leave Dragon Island quickly without looking back, hoping to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed.
Watching the group depart until no one could be seen anymore, Long Ke's smile faded, and he returned to the main hall with a serious expression.
A group of dragons were already waiting here. When they saw Long Ke enter, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight, as if they were soldiers waiting to be inspected.
Long Ke had no time to pay attention to their situation and asked directly, "Have you found anything?" This referred to the secret realm.
Recently, Long Ke's reply was: "No, we didn't find anything unusual in the secret realm. It does look like something left over from ancient times."
The use of the word "like" indicates that they still have some doubts, but are struggling to find evidence.
Long Ke understood and changed the question: "Have you investigated our enemies?"
Another dragon replied, "We've investigated all the beast races and the forces on the other three continents, but we haven't found anything unusual."
This was indeed bad news. Long Ke frowned and said, "Continue investigating." He paused, then remembered something: "How is things going with the little ancestor?"
The dragon that spoke first replied, "There's no news yet."
Long Ke: "No news is good news. Tell Long Yi and Long Yin that defeating those people is secondary. The most important thing is the little ancestor. Don't let him get carried away and put the cart before the horse."
"Yes." The air fell silent.
After a long pause, a dragon suddenly spoke up in a low voice: "Clan leader, do you think we should form an alliance with the Flowing Moon Sect? The Flowing Moon Sect has many powerful beasts and is involved in various aspects. Perhaps they can find some clues."
Long Ke hadn't thought about this before, but after hearing Long Yi mention it, he pondered for a while and finally decided, "This can be done."
Turning to the other side, he said to Elder Long Peng, "I'll trouble you to make the trip. As long as the conditions aren't too outrageous, I can agree to them."
Long Peng understood: "Then I'll go back to the storeroom and get more things."
Long Ke nodded: "Okay."
And so the matter was settled. After the event ended, Long Peng went to the warehouse, filled it with supplies, and summoned a few dragons with decent combat power before heading towards the Liuyue Sect.
Meanwhile, Lingjun in the secret realm was already covered by dragon scales for most of his body, only missing the most crucial section and the dragon horns.
