Chapter 220 - I am, Zhong Yue of the Swords Gate (1/2)

Ao Clan's clan master? Didn't he go out to suppress Shi Qishan? When did he come back?

Ao Qingtu was shocked, he watched as Zhong Yue walked into the center of the Dragon City, he mumbled, "The Ao Clan's clan master personally asked for his presence? Is the Ao Clan's clan master also that stupid? Can't he tell that there are still countless uncertainties whether if Long Yue could become the overlord that rules over the whole East Barren?"

He was filled in disbelief; clearly, one who could be the clan master of the Ao Clan would never be an idiot.

So why would a dragon that was filled with wisdom and knowledge put so much weight on 'Long Yue', to the point that he even pushed away the experts from the other four clans?

While the four Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners of the Chi, Jiao, Yu and Po Clan were embedded in the Dragon Barrier, unable be move at all and seemingly stuck in mid-air. Clearly, the Ao Clan's clan master had intended it to be a warning for the others at the expense of the four Heavenly Dharma cultivators.

A warning that was directed to the other four clans to give up their designs on Zhong Yue!

Which also meant that the Ao Clan valued Zhong Yue so much that they would even take the risk of offending the other four clans!

"So then, what makes the Ao Clan think that this Long Yue can rise in the land of monsters, the East Barren, and even rule over it?"

Ao Qingtu locked his brows and mumbled as he pondered, "The fact that Long Yue has established a territory in the East Barren alone is insufficient for a clan master to regard him so highly. This Long Yue is not as simple as how he has presented himself. I'm looking forward for the battle against him!"

Zhong Yue strode forward into the Dragon Palace, he glanced around and saw the ruins created by Kun Peng Race expert's ambush. The palaces were crumbled, the pillars were collapsed and there were even roofs that slammed down from the sky, crushing the palaces into even finer detritus.

Countless dragons were flying around, moving away the ruins and measuring the land, preparing for the reconstructions of the destroyed palaces.

An old dragon walked out and said smilingly, "Please, follow me."

Zhong Yue followed him and walked through a huge corridor, he trod past the palaces and suddenly, golden rays shone upon his face; a golden palace that was ten thousand feet tall was standing high with two dragon-shaped beasts crouching on the sides of its entrance.

Zhong Yue glanced at them and thought to himself, These beasts are like dragons and Qi Lins, are they the hybrid of the dragons and Qi Lins?

The old dragon brought him to the front of the palace and gestured for him to enter. Zhong Yue calmed himself and marched into the golden palace. Glancing around, he was shocked; inside the golden palace, the items were all gold in color – golden pillars, golden seats, golden floor, and jade screens with dragon carvings.

The inner space of the palace was incredibly huge, it was also ten thousand feet tall; there were rows of seats where each and every one of them could seat a hundred men; clearly, the seats were prepared for the powerful figures of the dragon race.

While in the seat of honor, sat a brawny old man like a giant. An unearthly strong draconic Qi surged behind him as if it truly a dragon, imperiously gazing at Zhong Yue.

While on the sides were seated the elders with golden draconic Qi surging behind them – it was a marvelous scene of dragons.

They were the elders of the Ao Clan, carrying the strong and powerful aura along with the uniquely saintly air of the dragon race. So solemn and dignified that it was nearly improbable for anyone to put up a fight against them!

"You are Long Yue?"

On the back of one of the Ao Clan dragon elders, the golden dragon formed from the draconic Qi extended its body and the head and reached out to the front of Zhong Yue. It stared right at Zhong Yue with its eyes burning like fire, scrutinizing every part of his being.

While the Ao Clan elder mumbled softly, "Strange, how strange, there is the blood of the dragon race but you are not a true and genuine dragon…."

Huhuhu——

On the sides of the palace, the other Ao Clan elders heard him and the golden dragons behind them also moved; golden dragon heads sized like mountains circled around Zhong Yue, the elders said, "Indeed, the Xiang Dragon bloodline in his blood is very strange, there is the air of the Xiang Dragon but there is also a hint of another bloodline in him…."

"A very low and petty bloodline, but somehow … there is also a saint power hidden in it."

"En, his Xiang Dragon bloodline is fake, a subterfuge to cover his other bloodline. Where is Ao Fenglou?"

One of the Ao Clan elder furrowed his brows and said, "That brat didn't make things clear, he only told us that Long Yue of the Xiang Dragon Race has penetrated into the East Barren, but he didn't make it clear whether or not this Long Yue is a bona fide Xiang Dragon!"

"This Long Yue, he is very suspicious! His Xiang Dragon bloodline is not genuine!"

The shrewd elders had clearly seen through Zhong Yue's cover, but they did not immediately take him down. In fact, in this golden palace gathered the strongest cultivators of the Ao Clan, even the ancestor spirit was slumbering in the secret realm beneath the golden palace. Not even a god would be able to escape from such a strong force of power. Hence, even though they had seen through Zhong Yue's cover, the possibility of Zhong Yue escaping had simply never once even crossed their minds.

Sitting in the golden seat, the elderly Ao Clan's clan master smiled and indicated for them to quiet down, "Keep calm, my dear junior martial brothers, Feng Lou is leading a pursuit for the remaining troops of Sha Qishan. He will be unable to return so quickly. However, he has reported everything to me clear quite perspicuously. About Long Yue, I suppose you all have heard of him?"

The Ao Clan elders nodded, "One of the Xiang Dragon Race, a half-monster half-dragon hybrid, closed-door disciple of Shi Buyi, cultivator who practices the [Monster God Ming King Art], strongest monster Qi Practitioner in the level of Rebirth, strongest monster Qi Practitioner in the level of Awakening, and also one who has opened all five realms."

"A lord under the jurisdiction of Gu Xia City Lord Gu Hong Zi, one whose dominion ranges over three thousand miles, a strong cultivator with exceptional combat prowess. He stomped four Awakening disciples into the ground on his first day in the Dragon City, and his combat capability can be listed as among the top ten Awakening disciples of the Eastern Sea dragon race."
