"You are truly audacious — you have gone far beyond all bounds!"
"The source of this Dragon Vein belongs to my
"How is this any different from theft?"
"No — this is outright robbery. You robbed my Dragon Clan of this opportunity right before the eyes of every one of our clan members!"
"My Lord, this sort of behavior is unforgivable. It absolutely must not be tolerated."
"Long Xiaoxiao colluded with these two to seize our Dragon Vein's source for herself. They all deserve to be executed on the spot!"
"Lady, what is this nonsense you're spouting?"
"By your own logic, does that mean Long Xiaoxiao is no longer part of your Dragon Clan?"
the old Daoist with the ox nose asked.
"She is a member of my Dragon Clan, that is true — but she has no right to monopolize the Dragon Vein's source. Such behavior makes her unworthy of being a Dragon Clan member!"
Long Mumu's mother retorted.
"Then who told you that the power of the Dragon Vein's source was meant to be distributed equally among your Dragon Clan?"
"You don't even know when the Dragon Vein's source opens, let alone how it opens — and now you dare lecture me?"
"In my eyes, you're simply bitter because you never received any of the Dragon Vein's power yourself!"
"If you want to talk about selfishness, then yes, there is someone here who is selfish — but it isn't me, and it isn't Princess Xiaoxiao. It's you, you shrew!"
The old Daoist with the ox nose not only insulted Long Mumu's mother — after finishing his words, he even spat a gob of phlegm onto the ground. The contempt he showed could not have been more explicit.
"A shrew? You ox-nosed old fool — how dare you call me a shrew?!"
"I'll take your life!!!"
Long Mumu's mother flew into a towering rage. As she spoke, she actually released her oppressive aura.
First-level Martial Ancestor realm — though Long Mumu's mother was merely a woman, her strength was this formidable. She was a genuine expert of the first-level Martial Ancestor realm.
"Insolence!!!"
But just then, a furious roar rang out.
Immediately after, a devastating aura blanketed the world.
Once that aura surged forth,
It was as if, should the owner of that aura so desire, this entire world could be annihilated in the blink of an eye.
And all of them — every single one — would perish along with it.
It was the Dragon Clan's Clan Chief.
The most powerful member of the Dragon Clan had finally made his move.
However, his oppressive aura had only lasted for a single instant.
It was a warning — a warning to Long Mumu's mother.
"My Lord, I…"
Long Mumu's mother was clearly still terrified of the Dragon Clan Chief. She had already retracted her aura and lowered her head.
Yet, after delivering his warning to Long Mumu's mother, the Dragon Clan Chief said nothing to the old Daoist with the ox nose. Instead, he turned his gaze directly to Long Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao — is the power of the Dragon Vein's source truly inside your body?"
the Dragon Clan Chief asked.
"Father — it truly is within my body."
Long Xiaoxiao replied.
"Let me see for myself."
The Dragon Clan Chief seized Long Xiaoxiao's wrist, intending to examine the power within her body.
But the more he observed, the deeper his brow furrowed.
Then, his expression turned grim, and he said to Long Xiaoxiao with utmost severity: "Are you certain that the power of the Dragon Vein's source is inside your body?"
"Father — the power within me right now is the Dragon Vein's source."
Long Xiaoxiao answered.
"Insolent."
No one expected the Dragon Clan Chief to fling his sleeve, sending the already frail Long Xiaoxiao crashing to the ground.
"What are you doing?!"
Chu Feng rushed forward and helped Long Xiaoxiao to her feet.
