Chapter 855 Seal
“I know that you and your mother both harbor resentment towards me. Even if what happened back then was a moment of carelessness on my part, it was still my fault, and I won’t explain. I am the patriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan, so I cannot knowingly grant you the status of one of the young masters of the Seven Star Palace. I am your mother’s Daoist partner, so I cannot embarrass her too much. Although I have been an incompetent patriarch and Daoist partner, and a terrible father, Youli, I am still your father.”

The clan chief poured Youli a cup of dragon blood liquor.

"Over the years, I have entrusted people in the clan to take care of you. It has always been my regret that I have not been able to raise you myself."

Youli picked up his wine glass, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his father's words.

In fact, he had also held the position of clan leader in previous reincarnations. However, in those reincarnations, Lin Zhao, for various reasons, was the first to go to the ancient battlefield as the clan leader's wife. Her cultivation advanced incredibly rapidly, and she eventually died in front of him.

Although he no longer felt that burning passion for Lin Zhao that made every bone in his body scream with longing, the unbearable pain of losing his Daoist partner was still fresh in his memory.

Therefore, for Youli, the position of clan leader is equivalent to pain. He doesn't even care about the position of clan leader, so why would he care about the position of young master?

"I know what you're thinking, so I hope you can find a Daoist partner who is compatible with you. I think that what your mother and I can't give you, your Daoist partner can. So no matter what kind of girl you bring home in the future, I will be the first to support you."

Youli couldn't refute this point.

Even when his relationship with the clan was at its worst, the clan chief was always the first to agree when he brought Lin Zhao back to the clan.

"What does Father want to say to his son now?" Youli interrupted the clan chief helplessly: "Things have come to this, and this is all I can do."

They said that what they couldn't give, they could only rely on their Daoist partners to give.

Say something about support.

Youli noticed that the clan leader had called him here this time and referred to himself as "I" the whole time. He neither referred to himself as "this master" to pressure him with his clan leader status, nor did he refer to himself as "father".

So... now he wants to express repentance and fatherly love?

Youli raised her eyes in mockery.

The ancient dragon patriarch was unperturbed by his son's indifferent attitude and simply explained.

"The seal of the gods has been loosened by more than half." The ancient dragon patriarch reached out and summoned bursts of lightning, using the intensity of the lightning to heat up the strong liquor mixed with ancient dragon blood in his cup, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"I have decided that I will soon disintegrate and use my cultivation and physical body to stabilize the seal."

Youli's pupils contracted.

This wasn't sadness and shock over her father's death, but rather...

"How come it's so fast?"

Even by the fastest possible cycle, there should still be ten years left!
Or……

Youli remembered that the evil thought from another world had said that he was the greatest chosen one in this world, and that his rebellion had accelerated the revival of the gods, right?
Yu Li's heart sank to the bottom of the valley little by little.

The clan chief's words were tinged with drunkenness and resolve.

“Not only me, but that old thing from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan will also disintegrate. We can probably only delay it for about two or three years. Once the Celestial God awakens... Child, go find a place where you can survive. Don’t go with them.”

Youli's hands slowly clenched.

“Youli, the happiest moment of my life was not when I married your mother, nor when I learned that I had my eldest son, but when I learned that you had cultivated the Ancient Dragon Dharma Body.”

The clan chief sighed, "Even if I'm not a good father, I still hope that my child will be alright."

Only children who cultivate the Ancient Dragon Body can truly establish themselves within the Ancient Dragon Clan.

"I have served the Ancient Dragon Clan my entire life, and confronted your mother for half my life. Now, knowing my days are numbered, I find that you are still my greatest concern." The Ancient Dragon Clan Chief remained silent for a long time: "This is my last question as a father. Youli, what do you want to do?"

……

Lin Zhao finally managed to fool Mo Yunjiu and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, let's go, we can't stay here any longer!" Lin Zhao said to Qu Shu, who was wearing an invisibility cloak. When she led Qu Shu to the entrance of the Mo Lin Sect, they met a pair of deep and sharp phoenix eyes.

Lu Lin.

Lin Zhao: "...Bad luck"

"Mo Qianhua, where are you going?"

Lin Zhao grew impatient, and three celestial suns appeared behind him: "Do I need to report to you where I'm going?"

Only then did Lu Lin realize that the person in front of him was not Mo Qianhua: "Who are you?! How dare you impersonate the young lady of the Mo Lin Sect?"

Lin Zhao was too lazy to argue with him. He pulled Qu Shu away from the area covered by the Mo Lin Sect's formation and then turned off the teleportation talisman to leave.

After Qu Shu and Lin Zhao boarded the returning immortal boat, they reminded her, "Lu Lin of the Mo Lin Sect will not let you go."

As a fellow man, he could tell that Lu Lin's feelings for Lin Zhao weren't simply about eliminating her after learning her identity; rather, he harbored an overwhelming desire to conquer her.

It seems that Lin Zhao's temperament, appearance, and strength just happened to match his.

Lin Zhao inexplicably understood Qu Shu's meaning and was immediately disgusted.

"If he shows any such intentions in front of me, I will treat him well."

Lin Zhao was already engaged to Mo Qianhua, and hadn't explicitly rejected Mo Yunjiu. Even though he hadn't agreed to Mo Yunjiu's proposal, judging from Mo Qianhua's previous predicament, this scoundrel wasn't a good person either. It would be strange if Lin Zhao had a kind face.

When the two arrived, it was just the day before the team competition was about to begin. Upon seeing Qu Shu, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief instinctively stood up: "You... you're a Celestial King?"

The Grand Elder beside him looked at Qu Shu with surprise and doubt: "It seems to be the peak of the Immortal King realm?"

Although his cultivation level is still somewhat unstable, it is clear that he has achieved this level of cultivation because he has obtained some kind of inheritance, but there is no doubt that he is at the peak of the Immortal King at such a young age.

"This level of cultivation and age... even in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, he would rank among the top three, right?" The Third Elder remarked subconsciously.

The other elders were initially dissatisfied and wanted to argue that Qu Shu had acquired this level of cultivation only after receiving the inheritance. However, regardless of the circumstances, a peak Immortal King was no longer someone they could easily suppress as before. So they exchanged glances and remained silent.

"Yes." After acknowledging his cultivation level, Qu Shu said directly, "My mother is no longer here. I ended her life myself."

"You!" Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder almost cursed, but when she met the woman behind Qu Shu's ambiguous smile, she for some reason sat down quietly.

“Even if Huang Zhao has a thousand faults, she shouldn’t be someone you, a mere Heavenly Phoenix, can execute, especially since she is your biological mother,” the clan leader sighed and said.

"I understand, so I've come to accept the punishment."

Accept the punishment?!
How can someone so young at the peak of the Immortal King realm, with Lin Zhao standing behind him, be punished?
The other elders also recognized this point. Finally, the clan leader said, "If the Heavenly Phoenix Clan cannot advance to the top five in this Central Domain Competition, then the Heavenly Phoenix will never obtain a position in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Council."

This means that Qu Shu should be allowed to make amends for his mistakes.

The other elders were dissatisfied, but after Lin Zhao brought out Huang Zhao's remains, they had no choice but to reluctantly accept it for the sake of the future of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

"This matter must never be revealed to anyone."

Neither the news of Huang Zhao's rebellion nor the news of Tian Feng's audacity in killing Tian Huang without executing him should be spread.

The clan chief lowered his head.

As long as the clan can be revived, sometimes, some things don't need to be taken so seriously.

Besides, Huang Zhao should have been executed anyway.
