972. The Dispute over Dragon Island
"Judging from this situation, the real battle will most likely take place today," Wei Jiangyuan told the rather frustrated Lei Jingxiao.
"When we first met, I said that the Northern Dragon King looked like a wolf with ambitions. On the surface, the three Dragon Kings returned together, saying that they wanted to assist the new Dragon Emperor in unifying the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void. In reality, they were after the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. Now that they see that Zi Yan has almost finished refining it, they are preparing to make their move."
Lei Jingxiao asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then why didn't they make a move from the beginning? Why did they wait until now?"
"First of all, they are not sure if this situation is true or false. After all, I secretly delivered the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to the Dragon Clan, and the elders of East Dragon Island did not leak this information."
Wei Jiangyuan counted on his fingers, "Secondly, if they want to get Zi Yan, it's equivalent to directly attacking Donglong Island, which is not something they can do just like that. I estimate that they were probably secretly contacting reinforcements during that period."
After Wei Jiangyuan brought Lei Jingxiao to the Dragon Clan of Taixu Valley, he learned about the secrets of the Dragon Clan that were unknown to outsiders by giving them the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, thanks to the great favor of the gift. He also completely understood the current situation of the Dragon Clan of Taixu Valley.
The disappearance of the former Dragon Emperor left the Taixu Valley Dragon Clan leaderless. Without a strong leader to control the entire clan, the remaining members eventually split into four.
Despite the appearance of Zi Yan, the descendant of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline, among the four Dragon Islands, only the East Dragon Island remained steadfast in its support for Zi Yan.
The other three island lords of the Dragon Islands possess a relatively small amount of Dragon Emperor bloodline, and were originally collateral branches of the Dragon Emperor clan. They were quite wary of the suddenly appearing Zi Yan, unwilling to relinquish their already secured high positions, and naturally unwilling to acknowledge Zi Yan's status.
The four Dragon Islands had maintained a strange balance, but that balance was broken not long ago.
The reason is that Wei Jiangyuan accidentally discovered the supreme treasure, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, among the relics of the Creation Saint. As long as Zi Yan can absorb it, she will be greatly enhanced and will be able to advance to the new Dragon Emperor based on her bloodline. There is even a great possibility that she will reunite the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Before the two of them arrived, Zi Yan had already begun absorbing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. However, due to her limited strength, the process was quite slow.
Upon learning this news, the other three Dragon Islands, feigning allegiance, came to East Dragon Island to spy on it. They kept delaying by discussing alliance matters with Wei Jiangyuan and Lei Jingxiao until recently, when they finally revealed their true intentions.
Looking at the other three dragon islands not far away, Lei Jingxiao recalled his meeting with the three dragon kings and was filled with rage: "How insidious!"
Looking at the three Dragon Islands that were besieging the city in the distance, Wei Jiangyuan nodded and said, "They planned ahead, and we're probably going to suffer a loss this time."
"Didn't you already spread the word? I believe Sister-in-law Little Fairy Doctor will bring us reinforcements!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Jiangyuan shook his head again and said, "The situation here is so complicated that even if reinforcements come, it will still be difficult to handle."
Because the situation was so difficult, Wei Jiangyuan unusually refrained from teasing Lei Jingxiao.
"Lei Zi, listen to me. If we're really outmatched, we'll ignore these dragon heads and, if we get the chance, take Zi Yan and run!"
"Huh? You're so disloyal, I'm not leaving!"
The people of Beilong Island have been treating them quite well these past few days, so when Lei Jingxiao learned that Wei Jiangyuan was planning to flee even before the battle had started, he was naturally unwilling.
Hearing that Lei Jingxiao was unwilling to listen to his opinion, Wei Jiangyuan was somewhat helpless and walked up to Lei Jingxiao and patted him on the head.
"Why are you so dense!"
"Their target is the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, which is Zi Yan, not any other dragons. If we can successfully take Zi Yan away, they will definitely chase after us closely!"
Hearing this, Lei Jingxiao's eyes lit up. It would be much easier for the three of them to leave: "Great idea! Let's lure them to our Lei Clan, and then we'll teach them a lesson!"
"Be careful," Wei Jiangyuan continued to transmit his voice to Lei Jingxiao, "The Dragon Clan doesn't fully trust us. They're only doing this because of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. We must keep this from them. The two of us must seize the right opportunity."
At this moment, Lei Jingxiao nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I know that. It's up to you to come up with this kind of crazy idea. I'll listen to you!"
Seeing Lei Jingxiao's intense gaze, Wei Jiangyuan couldn't help but grin, revealing his tiger teeth: "Not bad, not bad, a good kid is one who listens!"
Just as the two were about to continue their banter, the previously stable formation outside Donglong Island began to be shaken.
The enormous black shadows constantly drifted through the void, accompanied by astonishing fluctuations of battle qi. Wei Jiangyuan and Lei Jingxiao could see clearly that they were ancient dragons of the Void.
When these top-tier magical beasts revealed their true forms, and the elites of the three Dragon Islands acted together, the sense of awe they brought far surpassed that of human powerhouses of the same level.
As the void space was disturbed, Donglong Island also stirred, with a series of awe-inspiring dragon roars resounding and the subtle auras of powerful figures constantly appearing. The first thing these powerful figures did upon appearing was to take their positions and gather around the aura representing the colorful light.
Clearly, Zi Yan, who has absorbed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, is of paramount importance to both sides.
After the dragons from the three major dragon islands of North, South, and West had gathered and completely surrounded the sky above East Dragon Island, dozens of figures, accompanied by flashes of light, transformed from dragon bodies into human forms.
When these people appeared, they were all wearing dark gold dragon scale armor, with sharp dragon horns on their heads. Each of them had an extremely strong aura, and even the weakest of them had a cultivation level of half-saint.
This is the strongest lineup that the three Dragon Islands can send out after joining forces. Apart from the descendants of the Dou Di family and the Soul Hall, there is basically no force on the continent that can rival the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
The advantage of monsters over humans is that they are born with extremely high cultivation levels and top-tier physical bodies that humans envy, thanks to their bloodline.
If ordinary magical beasts are like this, then the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, standing at the pinnacle of magical beast bloodlines, is even more exceptional. Therefore, when they are truly ready to get serious, they can unleash such a powerful force as seen before them.
The three people standing at the very front, with the strongest auras, are the masters of the three major dragon islands in the north, south, and west.
The Southern Dragon King, the Western Dragon King, and the most powerful Northern Dragon King!
Compared to the Southern Dragon King and the Western Dragon King, who were clad in dragon armor, the Northern Dragon King was only wearing a dragon robe. His overall aura was not extremely exaggerated, but he firmly occupied the central position.
The two kings beside him unconsciously revealed a look of fear in their eyes, which was enough to show his status in the dragon clan.
"Hand over Zi Yan, and Donglong Island can be spared a disaster!"
