"I'm aware of this matter."
After saying this, the Dragon Clan's Clan Master turned and left immediately.
Seeing this, Long Duan quickly followed after him.
At that moment, within the palace, only Long Mumu and her mother remained.
Long Mumu, who had previously felt certain of victory, was now showing signs of panic.
"Mother, I feel like my father didn't really react much."
Long Mumu voiced her concern, worried that the Dragon Clan's Clan Master would not go after Chu Feng and his master.
"Don't worry. Your father already has a plan in mind."
Compared to Long Mumu, her mother was far more composed and confident.
Subsequently, Long Mumu's mother brought her daughter along to the source of the Dragon Vein once again.
Based on her understanding of the Dragon Clan's Clan Master, she felt that he would certainly not honor his promise so easily — especially regarding entry into the Dragon Clan's ancestral grounds.
Now that the Clan Master's impression of Chu Feng and his master had soured, all she had to do was fan the flames, and she was certain the two of them would never leave alive.
……
Time passed. Seven days and seven nights had elapsed since Chu Feng and Long Xiaoxiao entered the source of the Dragon Vein.
During those seven days and seven nights, the Dragon Clan's Clan Master had hardly left the source of the Dragon Vein, aside from meeting with Long Mumu and her mother.
It wasn't just the Clan Master who hadn't left.
During this period, Long Duan and the other Supreme Elders — even Long Mumu and her mother — had not departed either.
The Clan Master and the Supreme Elders were waiting for the good news of the Dragon Vein's opening.
Long Mumu and her mother, however, were waiting for the day that Chu Feng and his master, along with Long Xiaoxiao and her mother, would die.
But ever since Chu Feng and Long Xiaoxiao stepped into the source of the Dragon Vein, the old Daoist had simply sat cross-legged with his eyes shut. Although the great formation was still running, he appeared as though he had fallen asleep.
Even when members of the Dragon Clan approached to ask questions, he gave no response.
Afraid of disturbing the old Daoist, they didn't dare wake him by force, and could only choose to wait.
As a result, neither the Clan Master nor anyone else knew the current situation within the source of the Dragon Vein.
But now, the Clan Master, Long Duan, and the other elders could sit still no longer.
They had noticed that the mountain at the source of the Dragon Vein no longer radiated that mysterious glow.
The once extraordinary mountain was extraordinary no more.
Cracks had even begun to appear across its surface, as if it could collapse at any moment.
This looked nothing like the Dragon Vein being opened — it looked as though the Dragon Vein was about to vanish entirely.
This drove the Clan Master and the others to the edge. They were restless, beads of cold sweat trickling down their brows.
Yet despite their outward anxiety — faces pale with tension just like everyone else — Long Mumu and her mother were inwardly delighted.
Compared to the Clan Master and the Supreme Elders, the two of them cared far less about the future of the Dragon Clan.
They only cared about their own interests.
And what they wanted most right now was for Chu Feng and his master, along with Long Xiaoxiao and her mother, to perish.
If the opening of the Dragon Vein failed, then in their eyes, Chu Feng and his master would never leave the Dragon Clan alive.
"Clan Master, we cannot simply sit here and do nothing."
At that moment, Long Duan and the other Supreme Elders all turned their gazes toward the Dragon Clan's Clan Master.
They were suggesting that the Clan Master go and question the old Daoist about what exactly was happening.
The Clan Master felt troubled. He wanted to understand the situation more than anyone.
But he was also afraid of disturbing the old Daoist and causing everything to fail at the last moment.
Still, the situation was critical. After a brief internal struggle, he made up his mind and prepared to wake the old Daoist to get answers.
Whoosh—
But just at that moment, the old Daoist finally opened his eyes and rose to his feet.
"Master, what happened to the Dragon Vein? What's going on now?"
"Could it be that the opening of the Dragon Vein has failed?"
