Chapter 525 Eastern King
The Eastern King was a rather plump, middle-aged man who, at first glance, did not look like a dragon king but rather a shrewd businessman.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao, the Eastern King rubbed his chubby hands together, stood up, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has come from afar; it is my Black Dragon Clan that has failed to provide adequate hospitality."

These words startled Xuan Ye, left Xuan Cang speechless, while Lin Zhao laughed heartily: "The Eastern King is so straightforward. May I ask what brings the Eastern King here?"

Seeing that Lin Zhao directly admitted his identity, the Eastern King looked at Lin Zhao with more appreciation and did not hide his thoughts: "Your Majesty has also seen this unfilial son of yours. To be honest, I want to ask if there is any way to improve the purity of our dragon bloodline?"

Of the four Black Dragon Kings, the Northern King's lineage is mixed with the bloodline of the Flood Dragon, the Eastern King's lineage with the bloodline of the Pixiu, and the Southern King's lineage with the bloodline of humans. Only the Western King's lineage is the most orthodox Black Dragon royal family.

This is also why most of the Black Dragon Clan's patriarchs throughout history have come from the lineage of the Western King.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ye frowned and said unhappily, "Father, I'm fine now, and Brother Cang is back. Why are you saying these things? I should have known better than to invite His Majesty Lin... over here."

The Eastern King glared at his good-for-nothing son: "Do you think your father needs to ask for favors?"

However, considering that there were still outsiders present, the Eastern King did not dare to be too harsh on his son: "My father is unstable, but at least he still lives a long life. If you are unstable, your life will be shorter."

If it weren't for the threat to his son's life, how could the Eastern King have the audacity to ask for help?

Lin Zhao looked at Xuan Ye with surprise and asked, "May I investigate?"

The Eastern King nodded hastily, ignoring his son's reluctance, and had him escorted to Lin Zhao for a look.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao's lips twitched. "A soul probe will suffice; there's no need to support him."

The Eastern King said, "It's alright, this kid is used to it."

Xuan Ye was furious: "Father!"

The Eastern King pretended not to hear.

After examining Xuan Cang with his divine sense, Lin Zhao frowned and subconsciously glanced at him.

Xuan Cang's expression also turned strange.

"Your son, the Black Dragon, is of far superior blood to you, isn't he?"

Dong Wang nodded: "At the time, I thought my wife was having an affair with Xuan Cang's father behind my back. If I hadn't been able to sense that this was my bloodline, and if this kid hadn't started to look more and more like me, I wouldn't have given up my suspicions."

Lin Zhao glanced at his chubby face, where his features were hard to discern, and then at Xuan Ye, who, though still young, had handsome features. It was difficult to see any resemblance between the two.

"It's the same situation as A Bao." Lin Zhao clicked his tongue, wondering if the Black Dragon Clan was just too lucky or unlucky.

The Eastern King was baffled by this statement: "What, A Bao? Is that kid's nickname? His nickname is Dog Head."

"Father!" Xuan Ye was so anxious that he stopped calling him "Father."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Xuan Cang coughed and said to the Eastern King, "Uncle Yan, A Bao is my son."

Dong Wang then realized what was happening, laughed heartily, and asked, "What's the situation with A Bao?"

Lin Zhao glanced at Xuan Ye and said, "The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon."

The ease on Dong Wang's face vanished completely.

Clearly, he also knew what the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon was. That thing might be a great tonic for ancient dragons or dragons with pure bloodlines, but for a dragon with impure bloodlines and weak strength, not knowing its use and having it on its body could be deadly.

However, due to the existence of the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon, it is a fact that Xuan Ye's black dragon bloodline is almost close to that of the Western King lineage.

However, this also leads to unstable bloodlines and a short lifespan.

Lin Zhao pondered: "Compared to A Bao's situation back then, this remnant soul is not strong and has no independent consciousness. I can help take it out and refine another pill that A Bao took back then."

Lin Zhao paused for a moment: "However, I need the Eastern King's help."

The Eastern King was no fool, and said, "Your Majesty, please speak. If I can help, please do so."

Lin Zhao said, "A few months later, during the war between the dynasties, I would like to ask the Eastern King to persuade the Black Lord that if the Qing Dynasty has any external aid, the Black Lord should take action and have the Black Dragon Clan wipe out these external aids."

The Eastern King was also aware of the war between the dynasties.

If this matter only involved the deployment of his own troops, the Eastern King might not have been so troubled.

However, judging from Lin Zhao's tone, the forces behind the Qing Dynasty might have beings beyond the True Immortal level, so we must ask the Black Lord for help.

After much deliberation, faced with his son's body, the Eastern King could only nod: "I will try my best, but success is not guaranteed."

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Eastern King nodded and the Black Dragon Clan Chief gave his approval, the rest would be easy to resolve.

Looking at Xuan Ye, Lin Zhao said, "But there is another problem that Your Highness should pay attention to. How come Prince Xuan Ye has the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon on him? The Black Dragon Clan probably also has some unclean things."

If Xuan Ye were to die, and the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon within him were nurtured strong enough by his dragon energy, then having the person who placed the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon on him take it away would be like doing someone else's bidding.

The Eastern King had clearly considered this possibility as well, and his expression turned somewhat grim: "Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty. I will report the situation to the clan chief and thoroughly investigate the people in the clan."

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Then I need to go into seclusion to refine pills and retrieve the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon for His Highness Xuan Ye. Please come with me, Your Highness."

The Eastern King had his son carried to a palace.

While Lin Zhao was retrieving the remnant soul from Xuan Ye, the Eastern King circled Xuan Cang twice, saw the ancient dragon pearl in his hand, sighed, and patted his nephew's shoulder: "You've suffered these past years."

Everyone knew that Xuan Cang was incapable of such actions, but the clan leader failed to investigate thoroughly. In order to quell the anger of the elders and secure his position, he forcibly convicted his most outstanding son and expelled him from the Black Dragon Clan.

Xuan Cang said, "This is not something you, Uncle, should say."

Judging from his tone, Dongwang knew that he was still angry about what happened back then, and said, "The clan leader had his own considerations back then, he..."

Dong Wang wanted to say that the clan leader had done everything he could to save his life, but that was too shameless for even someone as shameless as him to say.

“Xuan Cang understands the clan leader’s considerations, so this time Xuan Cang only wants to clear his name and get rid of the identity of the sinful dragon so that A Bao can be recognized as his ancestor and return to the clan.”

Knowing his nephew's temperament, the Eastern King shook his head: "Some positions are not something you can simply give up if you don't want them. Once this matter is clarified, with your talent and status, you will definitely be the next clan leader."

Xuan Cang remained silent for a moment, then said, "I will think of a way."

Dongwang shook his head: "The clan understands your grievances. The clan leader has been thinking of you all these years. He just has to consider the entire Black Dragon Clan."

Xuan Cang sneered, "So you have to sacrifice your own son to maintain stability in the clan."
