Xingyun Pavilion, back mountain.

Two girls of similar age were looking at each other. The girl with purple hair was naturally Zi Yan. She raised her head proudly, and her purple eyes looked down at the girl in front of her who looked exactly like her. She put her hands on her hips and said in a condescending manner, "Call me Big Sister, or I'll eat you up when I grow up!"

After saying that, she raised her hands, revealing a ferocious expression, and stared at Mu Qingluan fiercely.

Mu Qingluan pouted in grievance, lowered her head, and muttered softly: "...You dare, my teacher is the Feng Zun, if you eat me, my teacher will not let you go."

"I'll eat you secretly!" Zi Yan said angrily.

"I...I'll go tell the teacher right now!" Mu Qingluan almost cried. She turned around and ran towards the outer courtyard.

"Tsk~ You just know how to complain!" Zi Yan crossed her arms and pouted.

Perhaps it was because Mu Qingluan possessed a trace of the blood of the ancient celestial phoenix, which led to the incompatibility of the two of them. They quarreled whenever they met. During this period, such small conflicts kept occurring, but most of the time Zi Yan had the upper hand. Thanks to her dragon bloodline, she was born to like taking the initiative, and the character in her bloodline seemed to have been liberated, and began to approach the character in the original work.

In fact, the personalities of many people are determined at birth, and unless they experience unexpected changes, they will hardly change much.

The movements of the two girls were seen by Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo who were not far away. Both of them had smiles in their eyes. Looking at the two girls making noises, they felt much younger.

"The Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Sky Phoenix are mortal enemies. According to ancient records, in ancient times, people from these two tribes would fight each other when they met. Your disciple's true form is a blue phoenix, and her blood should also contain a trace of the ancient sky phoenix's blood. It is a bit difficult to make them friendly." Venerable Tianhuo said with a smile, while holding his big belly.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng's handsome face also showed a faint smile. Knowing that his old friend was undergoing a transformation, he was in a very good mood during this period of time. All the knots in his heart were gone, and even his cultivation seemed to have improved vaguely.

"It is normal to dislike each other when you are young. You will naturally understand right from wrong when you grow up." Venerable Feng said softly.

At the same time as the two were talking, an invisible space wave suddenly vibrated from above the Xingyun Pavilion.

"?!"

Feeling this fluctuation in space, the smiles on the faces of Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo disappeared instantly, and they stood up suddenly. Both of them looked up into the air with serious eyes, because the Xingyun Pavilion was surrounded by a natural formation. Even a Dou Zun strongman could not break in so silently without the coordinates.

Just as the two were puzzled, a silver light gate appeared in the sky above Xingyun Pavilion, and then two figures walked out of it.

"brush!"

Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo stepped forward one after another to greet him, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief because the newcomer was not an enemy. However, before they could say anything, the old man in white standing next to Yao Yan suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"This?!" Venerable Feng looked at Yao Yan in astonishment. His perception was at full blast, but with his strength, he didn't even notice how the other party left.

"That person is a senior from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. He came here to see Zi Yan." Yao Yan explained.

He could understand Zhu Li's impatience. Before, due to the isolation of the Xingyun Pavilion's formation, Zi Yan's breath would definitely not be sensed by the other party. Now that they were in the Xingyun Pavilion, with the blood connection between the two, if the other party still could not sense Zi Yan's breath, then there would be a problem.

Besides that, Yao Yan also trusts Zhu Li's name because the Dragon Emperor who becomes the 'watchdog' is called Zhu Kun!

Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo looked at each other, and then looked at Yao Yan in unison. They had never expected that Yao Yan would actually invite back the old monster from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Judging from the means the other party had just displayed, the other party was most likely a strong man above the Dou Zun level.

Otherwise, even if they were high-level Dou Zun, they wouldn't be unaware of it.

"Let's go." Yao Yan had already seen Zi Yan and Zhu Li at this moment. Although he also could not sense Zhu Li's movements, as long as he locked onto Zi Yan, he would naturally be able to find her.

The three of them flashed and soon arrived at the back mountain.

At this moment, Zhu Li was looking at Zi Yan with excitement. His originally calm and peaceful expression was gone. Tears streamed down his face, and he seemed unable to suppress his inner emotions. Even his body couldn't stop shaking. The drastic change in his emotions directly scared Zi Yan.

Fortunately, this girl was fearless, and she could feel the blood power in the other person's body. The power that belonged to the same source made her ask with some doubt: "Old man, are you from my tribe?"

Hearing Zi Yan's name, Yao Yan blinked frequently. He remembered that when he handed Zi Yan over to Venerable Tianhuo, the little girl was still very polite. How come her true form was exposed after not seeing her for two or three months?

He couldn't help but look at Venerable Skyfire and Venerable Wind, wondering how these two would raise the child.

"Yes!" Zhu Li nodded heavily and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He didn't expect that the Dragon Emperor's bloodline could be passed down, and that he could still wait for the other party. Over the past thousand years, he was almost numb. Not long ago, he even had the idea of ​​cultivating an heir.

"My name is Zhu Li, I am the Dragon of the past... I am currently the third elder of Donglong Island." He was about to reveal his identity, but stopped because of the presence of outsiders.

The little girl in front of him has the blood of the Dragon Emperor, and the concentration is extremely high. She might be the legitimate daughter. In this case, the news about her must not be allowed to reach the ears of the three Dragon Kings. Otherwise, with the strength of East Dragon Island, it may not be able to withstand the siege of the three Dragon Kings.

Zi Yan glanced at him with complicated eyes, then looked at Yao Yan who had fallen to the side. A hint of intimacy suddenly appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "Brother?! You're back!"

After saying that, he ran towards Yao Yan in small steps.

"I found it for you. You have quite a few people from your clan." Yao Yan rubbed Zi Yan's head and said with a smile. Then he looked at Zhu Li knowingly and continued, "It seems that Zi Yan's bloodline can meet the requirements of the Third Elder."

When Zhu Li saw the relationship between Yao Yan and Zi Yan, his eyes moved slightly. After a moment, he slowly said: "...naturally satisfied, even far more than that!"

"That's good. I wonder if the Third Elder can help find his family for him?" Yao Yan said, rubbing Zi Yan's head lovingly.

Zhu Li hesitated for a moment, and looked at Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo. "These two are my elders, you can trust them." Yao Yan saw the other party's hesitation, frowned, and assured.

"It's a serious matter." Zhu Li shook his head and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo bowed to Zhuli and left one after another. They were not so blind as to be so blind, especially when facing someone who was very likely a Dou Sheng.

After the two left, Zhu Li raised his hand and distorted the space around him, isolating everything outside, and then bowed respectfully to Yao Yan.

"Thank you, young man, for helping our clan find the princess!" Zhu Li said in a deep voice.

Yao Yan was about to stop the other party, but was shocked by his words. He looked at Zi Yan beside him and said in a serious tone: "You mean Zi Yan is the daughter of the Dragon Emperor?!"

"Bloodline cannot be faked. In fact, I also have some bloodline connection with the Dragon Emperor, so I can feel the bloodline power contained in Zi Yan's body, although this bloodline has not yet awakened!" Zhu Li looked at Zi Yan gently and said slowly.

Compared to the numbness of the past, his eyes now seem to be brighter, as if he has found the way to the future.

Compared to the troubles caused by the Three Dragon Kings, the most frightening thing is that there is no direction to move forward. People don’t know who to fight for, and they don’t know where the future of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan lies.

Now everything has changed. He can even use Zi Yan's name to call on some old seniors to return. As long as one or two old seniors receive the news and come back, Donglong Island will no longer need to fear the three Dragon Kings!
This is righteousness!
"Dragon Emperor... why did he disappear? Is he dead?" Zi Yan stared at Zhu Li with her purple eyes and suddenly asked. It seemed that because of the change in emotion, the hands that were holding Yao Yan's clothes clenched tightly.

She once wondered why she was born without parents. Even those low-level monsters had parents who found food for them, but she had to rely on herself to find food right after she was born. She almost died in the mouths of those low-level monsters several times, and she could only eat grass when she was hungry...

“I don’t know either. The Dragon Emperor disappeared very hastily. There was no sign at all, as if he suddenly disappeared out of thin air… If not for this, there wouldn’t be civil strife in the clan until now.” Zhu Li sighed and said slowly.

If there had been an heir, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would not have evolved into its current state.

It was because the Dragon Emperor suddenly disappeared and had no heir that the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan was torn apart and countless powerful people in the clan escaped into the void.

Zi Yan bit her lip and said nothing.

When Zhu Li saw this scene, he looked at Yao Yan again and said, "I want to take the princess back to Dragon Island and train her to be the new Dragon King!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zi Yan suddenly retort loudly.

"I don't want to. I don't want to be a Dragon Emperor. I didn't have any tribe members before, and I won't have any in the future... I will just follow big brother. Wherever big brother goes, I will go!" Zi Yan held Yao Yan's clothes tightly with her little hands, staring at Zhu Li with fierce and determined eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to persuade the other party, but looking at Zi Yan's fierce eyes, he knew that the other party had no good feelings towards him. It seemed impossible to persuade the other party to go back by using the word blood.

In the original novel, Zhu Li brought the drifting Zi Yan back to the tribe, so they had some emotional foundation. But now, it was Yao Yan who brought her back, and more than ten years earlier, so the situation is naturally very different.

"Brother won't let you go to Dragon Island. That place is dark and boring." Yao Yan rubbed Zi Yan's head and comforted her. At the same time, he sent a message to Zhu Li who was about to explode: "Senior, let's talk about this later. Zi Yan is quite resistant to this matter at the moment, so take it slow."

Zhu Li hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Then we have a deal, you are not allowed to throw me to your old man!" Zi Yan sought reassurance from Yao Yan.

"Of course not."

Yao Yan nodded.

After saying that, he patted Zi Yan's head and signaled her to go back first.

Zi Yan made a fierce expression towards Zhu Li, then walked towards her little house with her ponytail swinging. The distorted space on the side could not stop her from leaving. To the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, the void is like the relationship between fish and water.

"Young man, can you please persuade them a little..." Zhu Li seemed to be aware of the relationship between Yao Yan and Zi Yan, and couldn't help but plead.

If Zi Yan didn't want to, even if he took her back by force, it would be meaningless. He couldn't do something like 'holding the emperor hostage to control the princes'. Not to mention that he couldn't do it, but if he really did it, then what was the difference between him and the three Dragon Kings.

Yao Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Senior, I have roughly understood the situation on Donglong Island in recent days, including the situation of the other three Dragon Kings... I don't think it's a good thing for Zi Yan to go back with you. Once Zi Yan's news leaks out, the three Dragon Kings will surely be restless. Zi Yan will be hunted down endlessly, and even Donglong Island will become the target of public criticism."

After a pause, he continued:
"Of course, if Donglong Island has the strength to suppress the three dragon kings, then I can promise you, senior, to persuade Zi Yan to go back. In fact, what Zi Yan said just now was just angry words... You don't know what she went through when she was young. She was almost eaten by a low-level monster when she was young. In fact, she longs for family affection more than anyone else, but she looked careless in the past."

When Zhu Li heard that Zi Yan was almost eaten by a low-level magical beast, shock and fear appeared on his face. His scalp went numb when he thought of that scene.

"My idea is to let Zi Yan stay in Xingyun Pavilion for the time being. When her strength grows, she can return to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. During this period, we can let the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan contact her and protect her. This will also reduce her resistance until she is willing to accept you." Yao Yan said slowly.

Zhu Li nodded, pondered for a moment, looked at Yao Yan, and said in a deep voice: "These are all fine, but there is something I need your help with. The princess's bloodline has not yet fully awakened, so she needs to return to Dragon Island and enter the Dragon Phoenix Pool for baptism. The sooner this happens, the better!"

"Okay, then please wait for a few days, I will persuade Zi Yan." Yao Yan nodded in response.

"I'll leave everything in my hands, my friend!" Zhu Li bowed to Yao Yan again.

"There is no need to do this, senior. I sincerely accept Zi Yan as my sister, so I will not refuse anything that is beneficial to her. However, I hope you can keep Zi Yan's identity secret for a while. She has not grown up yet, and exposing her too early will not do her any good." Yao Yan dodged the gift and reminded at the same time.

"I was too excited before and lost my composure. After listening to what you said, I will be more cautious in the future." Zhu Li promised. (End of this chapter)
