They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 100 The Dragon Master Council: Discarding the Servants After They've Served
The Dragon Masters made their appearance, displaying a formidable presence. Behind the three Dragon Masters were more than twenty personal guards, all of whom were Destiny Walkers. Following them were the renowned Luofu Pearl Protectors [Sea Moon Team One], all of whom were highly skilled.

It can only be said that now is not the time for the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony. At that time, the forces under the command of the Vidyadhara Dragon Masters had already suffered heavy losses after assisting the Medicine King's secret rebellion, assassinating Danheng and Bailu, and helping Hulei escape.

Finally, the leader, Dragon Master Taoran, knew he was in dire straits. He could only send his remaining men to capture Bailu and threaten Lingsha and Danheng with the Immortal Boat Alliance pact, while he himself went to the meeting alone to buy time.

Moreover, there was a large group of ordinary people watching the drama unfold behind this group, since the area outside the forbidden zone was still a public area where anyone could come.

However, Dan Lei was not nervous at this moment, because the people who had passed on the secrets of the Medicine King were indeed in the forbidden area, and these people could not stop him at all once he used the power of the messenger.

As long as Xueyi doesn't take the initiative, the matter can only be classified as internal strife in Luofu Chiming, and its nature is different from the Yinyue Rebellion. This time, it's the Dragon Master who's obstructing official business.

So, the arrival of these dragon masters was just in time, and Dan Lei didn't immediately turn hostile; instead, he went straight to them and said...
"Great! The Dragon Master Elders have arrived. Three elders, the Medicine King's secret technique has already hidden in this forbidden area, and the guards won't let him in."

"Please, Master Long, lead me inside to see for myself, so as to dispel any suspicion that the Vidyadhara clan is colluding with the Medicine King's secret teachings."

Dan Lei's move of having the thief catch the thief was actually cutting off the Dragon Masters' escape route.

At this point, the Dragon Masters are not in a desperate situation and it is impossible for them to turn against the Luofu authorities.

As for controlling Dan Lei and the other two, the Dragon Masters looked at the spirit of Skarakabaz behind Dan Lei, feeling both excited and helpless.

However, Long Shi Taoran was a man who had seen many great things. He had only recently taken the Medicine King's secret pills to extend his lifespan, which had already reached its limit, so there were not many changes in his body yet.

So he decisively stepped forward, ran to the spirit of Skarakabaz, and changed the subject.

"Haha, everyone look! This is the soul of the fertility envoy! What pure fertility power! This is wonderful! This is wonderful! There is hope for the reproduction of the Vidyadhara Clan!!"

Upon hearing Tao Ran's words, the people he brought with him and the onlookers immediately cheered, as if they were about to celebrate the arrival of hope for the Vidyadhara clan.

Dan Lei wasn't too surprised that Tao Ran had so easily shifted everyone's attention from the Medicine King's Secret Teachings to the Skarakabaz Soul.

Although this Dragon Master Tao Ran is a complete villain in the game, he basically does no human work and willingly degenerates into a beast.

However, he wasn't always like this. In the game's promotional video, "Five Dragons Migrate Far Away," there's a dialogue between him and Oppenheimer, the author of the Candlelight School of the Erudite Society. Back then, his values ​​were quite upright.

Even now, Danlei, who knows the future, still believes in Taoran's only statement: "Everything is for the propagation of the Chiming clan."

This phrase had become his inner demon, turning him from a conservative and upright man into a monster.

It should be noted that the Dragon Master Conference Records stele records that when dealing with Danfeng, although he supported taking the Dragon Transformation Technique and the Chongyuan Pearl from Danfeng, his purpose was to continue the dragon vein. Later, he even rebuked Dragon Master Xuepu for speaking out about Dragon Master politics.

However, this Dragon Master's heart is now corrupted, and his actions have become unscrupulous, making it impossible for him to return to his former self.

Therefore, Dan Lei controlled the Skarakabaz spirit to emit a piercing flapping sound, instantly interrupting everyone's cheers and making them realize that this power was not as docile as it looked.

Then, Dan Lei walked over to Tao Ran and deliberately made a threatening statement.

"Elder Taoran, whether the power of the reproductive destiny can restore the fertility of the Chiming clan is still unknown. Further research is needed. It would be better if you didn't raise your hopes so high all at once."

As the one who controls this power, I must tell you that this power is dangerous. If it is not used properly, our Vidyadhara race may easily cease to be immortal dragonborn and become breeding insectborn in the future.

Therefore, its use must be approached with utmost caution.

After Danlei finished speaking, the Ming people on the periphery started discussing it again.

Since no normal person would choose to be a Zergling over a Dragonborn, they now agree with Danlei's advice to use it cautiously.

Seeing the shift in public opinion, Dan Lei walked to the entrance of the forbidden area again, activated White Dragon Mode directly in front of the guards, and spoke once more.

"I'll say it again, the remnants of the Medicine King's secret lineage are inside. Now that the Dragon Master Elders are here, you still won't let me in?"

Dan Lei's transformation caused an uproar among the ordinary practitioners around him.

Everyone knows that Dan Lei captured the Breeding Envoy, but only the Dragon Master and a few of his confidants know that Dan Lei also has a Dragon Lord form.

Once the fact that Dan Lei is suspected of possessing the miraculous method of transforming into a dragon is exposed, coupled with his power to create a breeding envoy, many people in the Chiming clan will likely immediately support Dan Lei as the new Dragon Lord.

After all, ordinary members of the Vidyadhara clan could not distinguish whether this was a magical method of transforming into a dragon. They only knew that having horns and a tail (even if it was just a phantom) was a symbol of the Dragon Lord.

It's no secret that Danlei's Wisdom Egg was originally located at the site where Danfeng caused the disaster by using the Dragon Transformation Technique. The story of this lucky Wisdom Egg has even been reported within the clan.

Therefore, it is possible that Dan Lei has been exposed to the Dragon Transformation Instant Technique. Although Dan Lei has denied that he activated his body's potential, the Dragon Master Council believes that Dan Lei may simply not have realized that he has activated part of the Dragon Transformation Instant Technique within himself.

However, once Luo Fu Chi Ming realizes that Dan Lei possesses the power of a Dragon Lord, the prestige of the Dragon Master Council will be greatly weakened, and a group of people may immediately stop obeying orders.

For example, the guards here were clearly ordered by the Dragon Master not to let Dan Lei in, but now that Dan Lei has revealed his true form, the guards are at a loss and don't know who to listen to.

After all, Luofu Chiming did not reform its system. The abolition of the Dragon Lord's ruling system and the return of power to the people have never been passed, nor could they be passed.

It should be understood that although each Immortal Ship's ruling clan governs independently, Fanghu Huyuanjun is the undisputed leader of all the ruling clans. If Luofu were to set a precedent by abolishing the system of Dragon Lords ruling, how would the other Dragon Lords feel about themselves?

At that time, Lord Huyuan and other Dragon Lords will inevitably intervene in Luofu Chiming, and the Dragon Master's power is no match for the true Dragon Lords.

However, Tao Ran reacted quickly, and before the guard could succumb to the pressure and agree, he stepped forward and said...

"Dan Lei, you can go in, but once you go in, you must return to the clan to inherit the position of Dragon Lord. Of course, we will find a way to extract Bai Lu's Dragon Lord power and return it to you."

Dan Lei immediately realized that Tao Ran was using Bai Lu to threaten him, because he had explicitly supported Bai Lu's rise to power.

However, Danlei wasn't one to be trifled with, and quietly replied...

“Alright, once I take over, I will immediately release Bailu from the ‘Ruler Wood Binding’ and then abdicate the throne to her.”

As I've said before, I activate my body's potential through special means. This method is something others can't learn, but Bailu will definitely be able to.

Of course, if you dare to make a move against Bailu ahead of time, Jingyuan will not let the Chiming clan off the hook.

As for me, I'll head straight for the Yaoqing Immortal Ship. General Feixiao and I hit it off immediately and have already become like siblings.

And don't forget, Danfeng's reincarnation also possessed the power of the Dragon Lord; he's not dead.

Upon hearing this, Tao Ran's face instantly froze. He hadn't expected Dan Lei to have this trick up his sleeve, and he was at a loss for words.

However, Dan Lei gave him a way out, saying loudly...

"Elder Taoran is joking. How could I possibly be qualified to inherit the position of Dragon Lord? I do not know the Dragon Transformation Technique."

How about this: the elders accompany me and Judge Xueyi inside. As long as we confirm that there are no remnants of the Medicine King's secret teachings inside, everyone can rest assured. You know, these cult members killed and injured quite a few people at the Pill Refining Division before.

Our Luofu Vidyadhara clan is already small in number; if a few more are unable to reincarnate, it will only make matters worse.

Dan Lei's words put the Dragon Masters in a very difficult position.

Moreover, Dan Lei had already linked the Twelve Labors Formation to the three Dragon Masters when they arrived, and was silently wearing down their mental defenses.

During the conversation just now, Feng Huan, who had a guilty conscience and was afraid that Dan Lei would really become the Dragon Lord, was almost unable to hold on.

This man is a supporter of Longshi Xuepu. He is considered young in the Longshi Council. Back when he dealt with Danfeng's Longshi Council, he publicly referred to the other Longshi as "you old fogies".

Therefore, this person's resolve was relatively weak. Under Dan Lei's continued pressure and the whispers of those around him, he decided to sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

This was the final plan proposed by the three of them when they arrived, the kind that would be avoided if possible.

But under the influence of external forces, Feng Huan didn't exchange glances with the other two and spoke directly.

“Alright! It’s really not right to linger outside any longer. Danlei, let a few of us take the guards and the people protecting the pearl and go in together.”

If there are indeed cult members of the Medicine King's secret teachings inside, we have enough manpower to deal with them.

The request was reasonable, and Danlei had no reason to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

At this point, Tao Ran and Xue Pu had no choice but to glare fiercely at Feng Huan, who had taken it upon himself to make the decision.

As for the two guards, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside, speaking respectfully.
"Lord Danlei, please."

Dan Lei didn't stand on ceremony and led the way into this forbidden area.

Seeing this, the three dragon masters had no choice but to follow, but Tao Ran added a sentence to the guards.

"Guard this place well. No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission."

The two guards understood and immediately used the Jade Sign to call for backup, summoning all the teams originally guarding this forbidden area to surround the entire area, preventing even a small fish from escaping.

The scene shifts to Dan Lei. As soon as he enters the forbidden area, he sees footprints on the sand by the roadside that shouldn't be there.

No one has lived here for hundreds of years. Usually, only a few people patrol and clean the area. It's impossible for them to leave such obvious footprints on the side of the steps, and there's more than one of them.

At this moment, the guardians of the pearl behind the Dragon Master, the [Sea Moon Team 1], who were completely unaware of the situation, had already raised their weapons and prepared for battle.

As they continued their journey, near the villa where the Dragon Lord was resting, Dan Lei and his companions encountered their first disciple, a demonic warrior, who was a disciple of the Medicine King's secret teachings.

When this person saw Dan Lei arrive with the Dragon Masters and a large group of Vidyadharas looking menacing, he assumed that the Dragon Masters, as allies, had lured Dan Lei in to ambush him, so he didn't even try to run away.

However, upon approaching, a furious roar was heard.
"What kind of monster is this! How dare it trespass into the Holy Land of Vidyadhara! And even occupy the Dragon Lord's residence!"

"Guards, obliterate him to ashes! The Ming dynasty cannot be dishonored!"

With a roar, Tao Ran was instantly attacked by more than twenty Dragon Master guards behind him. Like a school of sharks hunting fish, they tore him to pieces in an instant.

This unfortunate fellow, who received the secret teachings of the Medicine King, probably never knew why the Dragon Masters turned on him so suddenly until his death.

The entire process took less than a second; Dan Lei didn't even have a chance to speak.

And the matter wasn't over yet. After killing the demonic soldier, Tao Ran immediately gave the order...

"Guardians of the Pearl! The Dragon Lord's residence has been seized! Everyone, attack together and annihilate these wicked creatures! Otherwise, our Vidyadhara clan will be utterly disgraced in Luofu!"

Tao Ran's order was met with no suspicion from the pearl protectors, who immediately cooperated with the dragon master guards to rush into the villa.

And soon, the sounds of a fierce battle came from inside.

Dan Lei realized that Tao Ran clearly wanted to kill him to silence him, so he wanted to rush in to help, at least to capture Dan Shu.

However, as soon as Dan Lei moved, Tao Ran, Xue Pu, and Feng Huan almost simultaneously grabbed him.

Tao Ran said in a very serious tone at this moment
"Danlei, whether you like it or not, you are now the hope for the future of the Wisdom Clan."

Therefore, you must not put yourself in danger in the future. Leave combat to others if possible.

Dan Lei couldn't directly attack these three people at this moment, since their current stance was to destroy the Medicine King's Secret Teachings.

So, Danlei spoke directly to Xueyi.
"Xueyi, go in. At least save Danshu's life."

The Medicine King's Secret Lineage couldn't have developed into a vast organization spanning the Six Departments of Luofu on its own; all this information had to be obtained from Dan Shu.

Xueyi nodded and then immediately rushed inside.

However, the Dragon Masters did not stop Xueyi because they knew roughly how strong Xueyi was and that her own subordinates could complete the task.

Sure enough, about seven or eight minutes later, one of the guardians came out to announce that the battle inside had ended and all the evil creatures had been killed.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei knew that Dan Shu was probably dead.

Sure enough, upon entering, one could see that Dan Shu, who had transformed into the human form of Cheng Lu, had a large hole in his chest, clearly pierced by the spear of the pearl protector.

At the same time, the back of her head was severely deformed, indicating that she had been hit by some heavy weapon.

Xueyi, who was standing beside her, shook her head at Danlei, indicating that the person's life was beyond saving.

Dan Lei looked at Dan Shu lying on the ground, and the row of demonic corpses beside her, and could only shake his head slightly, sighing inwardly.
"Why did they have to cooperate with these insects from the Dragon Master Council, and naively hide in the territory of the Vidyadhara Clan?"

Now they've been used and discarded, haven't they? Surrendering early would have at least saved their lives.

They were clearly a group of people who joined the Medicine King's Secret Teachings because they were afraid of dying, but because they joined, they died young. What was the point of all that?

The cycle of heaven and earth is the way of balance for all things. To break it is to go against the will of heaven, and one must rely on one's own efforts. All external forces are unreliable.

"You guys just can't seem to grasp such a simple truth."
