now.
The Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
In the center of the hall.
Ling Xiao sat high on the Dragon King's throne that should have belonged to Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, his eyes sweeping indifferently over the ancient dragon clan, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The Dragon Clan truly deserves to be one of the overlords of heaven and earth during the Dragon-Han Great Calamity.
There was one late-stage Quasi-Saint, seven mid-stage Quasi-Saints, thirteen late-stage Quasi-Saints, and a full hundred Grand Luo Golden Immortals…
Even if its glory has faded, its foundation is still unmatched by ordinary ancient races.
A glimpse of a spot reveals the whole leopard.
One can only imagine how powerful the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans were at their peak!
Even the Witch and Demon races, the main protagonists of this great calamity, probably have fewer experts than one-tenth of the Dragon race, which has long since declined.
Finally, Ling Xiao's gaze slowly fell on Zhulong, who stood at the forefront of the dragon clan, a trace of vicissitude flashing in his eyes, as if he were reminiscing.
In the end, I sighed with regret.
"You... are the youngest brother of the First Emperor?"
"I sensed a trace of your elder brother's presence within you..."
It would have been better if Ling Xiao hadn't said anything.
This statement came out.
Zhulong shuddered violently, as if in disbelief, and raised his head.
"Senior... are you truly my brother's master?"
Obviously!
Regarding Ling Xiao's words
But they were already seven or eight parts convinced.
Zhulong's reaction caused a barely perceptible flicker of surprise in Lingxiao's eyes.
No!
The former second-in-command of the Dragon Clan, a giant in the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, is he so easily fooled?
I've only just begun, and you already believe me!?
Ling Xiao suddenly felt like he had punched cotton.
It gives you the illusion that the other person has already collapsed before you've even exerted any effort.
For a liar.
What gives you the greatest sense of accomplishment?!
Indeed, it is precisely under the careful planning and arrangement of the scam that one after another, people who consider themselves smart are unknowingly trapped in the trap and completely fooled.
It's just like fishing.
What anglers truly enjoy is the process of waiting for a fish to bite.
It's fine now.
Zhulong's current performance is exactly like that of a dead fish.
Not only did it leave Ling Xiao feeling no sense of accomplishment, but it also gave him a chill down his spine.
Logically speaking, Zhulong is second only to Zulong in the Dragon Clan. Having survived the initial calamity of the Dragon Han Dynasty and lived for countless years, he was even able to support the Dragon Clan to this day on his own after Zulong was seriously injured and fell into a state of suspended animation.
It's absolutely impossible for him to be a simple character.
But now they clearly believe the absurd fact that Lingxiao was the former master of the Ancestral Dragon.
In an instant!
Ling Xiao suddenly thought of a possibility.
The First Dragon... could it really have a master?
It should be noted that the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin all had extraordinary origins, having been formerly Chaos Gods.
If the Ancestral Dragon truly had a mysterious and unpredictable master in the past, just how terrifying would that master's identity be!?
Holy crap!
Ling Xiao only wanted to come to the Dragon Clan to swindle some rare and precious materials, improve his cultivation, and then run away after making a quick buck.
But now, unknowingly, it seems, perhaps, possibly, that I have become entangled in a major karmic event.
But before Ling Xiao could speak...
At this time.
Zhunti stepped forward first, his eyes widening without the slightest fear, even towards Zhulong, a late-stage Quasi-Saint ancient powerhouse. "Is that even a lie? You dare question my brother?!"
Jieyin, hands clasped together, stood on either side of Lingxiao alongside Zhunti, and spoke in a sinister tone: "What kind of status does my elder brother hold?! If you don't believe me, go and summon your elder brother, Zulong, and you'll know the truth for yourself!"
Seeing Zhunti and Jieyin's performance, Lingxiao couldn't help but smile.
After confirming that the First Emperor of Qin did indeed have a ruler.
Ling Xiao immediately felt more confident. Looking at Zhulong, who was staring at him with a surprised expression, he finally spoke calmly: "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you call your elder brother to see me?"
"Senior, are you truly the master of Elder Brother Zulong?!"
Seemingly incredulous, Zhulong asked again cautiously, his body trembling violently, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat.
Ao Guang, the Crown Prince and the Dragon Princess, and many other ancient powerful beings all looked up at the majestic young man on the throne in the Dragon Palace, who was raising a cup to drink wine with a calm expression.
At this moment, many dragons couldn't help but bow down to it...
"Calling me 'master' would be too polite!"
Ling Xiao sighed leisurely and said slowly, "Although the Ancestral Dragon was nominally my mount back then, we were brothers in private!"
Seeing Zhulong's increasingly agitated expression and fanatical gaze fixed on him, Ling Xiao coughed lightly, flicked his sleeve, then stood up, raised his cup, drank it all in one gulp, and calmly said, "Where is your elder brother, Zulong?"
"Your Excellency is unaware of the truth!" Zhulong no longer doubted him and hurriedly bowed to Lingxiao, saying, "My elder brother was seriously injured in the battle back then and is now on the verge of death. He has fallen into a deep sleep. I beg... I beg Your Excellency to have mercy and save my elder brother."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with hope.
The Dragon Clan is fundamentally based on the Ancestral Dragon; only with him could the Dragon Clan have reached its peak.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao remained expressionless, his demeanor indifferent.
Save the First Emperor?
A severely injured, dying, and dormant ancestral dragon is the best tool dragon!
He had traveled from the future, and if he hadn't known that the First Emperor had already fallen into a state of slumber and feigned death during this period, he really wouldn't have dared to deceive him like this.
"Logically speaking, considering the brotherly bond between myself and the First Emperor, I shouldn't refuse."
Ling Xiao sat back on the Dragon King's throne and continued his performance.
"But alas, back then, I fought against an unparalleled enemy outside the Chaos Heaven, enduring countless tribulations of life and death. Now, having been reborn and rebuilt, I wish to awaken the Little Ancestral Dragon, but I am powerless to do so!"
Ling Xiao spoke calmly, without the slightest hint of fear.
Just as Zhulong's eyes began to show disappointment.
Ling Xiao suddenly changed the subject!
"That's enough!"
"It won't be long before I return to my former glory."
"We will take action when the time is right!"
As soon as the words came out.
Zhulong was immediately overjoyed. He lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said...
"May Your Excellency return to your former glory soon!!"
"From this day forward, our dragon race is willing to follow Your Majesty, and throughout the four great seas, Your Majesty will be our leader!!"
As Zhulong finished speaking, in a flash, all the powerful ancient dragons lifted their robes and knelt behind Zhulong, gazing at Lingxiao with fanatical expressions.
At the top of the high steps, Ling Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, glancing sideways at the scene before him, his expression neither sad nor happy.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao sensed that the two nascent Great Dao Laws within his sea of consciousness were growing stronger...
In an instant, Ling Xiao understood!
This is the feedback on cultivation gained after deception, trickery, and fooling people.
In an instant, Ling Xiao's aura became as vast and boundless as an ancient divine mountain, and a strange aura enveloped the entire East Sea.
People are filled with fear and unease; it's too terrifying to look at directly!
Like a raging flood, the influx of magical power caused Lingxiao's cultivation to rise once again, breaking through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
