Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"But...who said they would submit to me upon seeing me?"

Just as the Grand Elder was about to speak, Zi Yan's light and casual words startled him.

"Once someone tastes the benefits of power, the desires in their heart become like weeds that cannot be eradicated. How can you be sure that the other three islands will be like you, bowing down to me upon seeing me?"

"This, the Dragon Emperor's Seal is..."

"But if they kill me, the Dragon Emperor's Seal will be theirs!"

"How dare they!"

The Grand Elder's eyes widened in fury, and a terrifying aura erupted from him, while the ancient dragons behind him roared in unison.

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Ancient Dragons of the Void. Although we have split into four, it is only because His Majesty the Dragon Emperor disappeared without leaving a single word, and we are all dissatisfied with each other. Who dares to disrespect His Majesty the Dragon Emperor?!"

The elder spoke sternly, but he also began to worry about what Zi Yan had said.

Among the four Dragon Islands, the Northern Dragon King has the strongest bloodline. Possessing royal blood, he is also the most ambitious of the four Dragon Kings.

It can be said that the split of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was largely due to him, and even the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King were affected by him.

Hearing what Zi Yan said, the Grand Elder began to worry.

"Your Highness, Dragon Emperor, where are you? Are you alive or dead...?"

The Grand Elder recalled how he had tried his best to maintain the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void for thousands of years, but to no avail, and how it had split to this point. He was filled with grief and indignation and couldn't help but speak with some emotion.

"I don't know where he went, but I know he should still be alive."

Just then, Zi Yan spoke again in a light and airy voice, making the Grand Elder seem to come back to life. No one knew better than him what kind of prestige the Candle Dragon Emperor, who was like a totem of faith, possessed within the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void.

The fact that Zi Yan's identity and the Dragon Emperor's Seal were enough to make all the Dou Sheng on Donglong Island bow down speaks volumes.

In fact, what they were worshipping was more the Dragon Emperor's Seal above Zi Yan's head, the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun who led the Taixu Ancient Dragon to invincibility.

"Because of this..."

Zi Yan showed the storage ring that Xiao Fan had given her long ago. The soul imprint of Zhu Kun on it could not be opened even after she had burned it for so long.

"This is... His Highness the Dragon Emperor's storage ring..."

The First Elder, Qingshan, looked at the storage ring in Ziyan's hand. He had seen Zhukun with his own eyes, and most importantly, the dense dragon aura emanating from this storage ring was something that would never exist if one had not been exposed to the Dragon Emperor for many years.

Thinking of what Zi Yan had just said, the Grand Elder's heart was filled with excitement once again.

"There's hope! The Ancient Dragon of the Void can be saved..."

Chapter 19 Hunting

Qingshan's gaze fell upon the storage ring in Ziyan's hand, a cautious, longing look appearing on his face. After a moment's consideration, he finally asked Ziyan:

"Your Highness, this storage ring..."

"The mark on this storage ring hasn't faded yet, so even I can't open it now."

Zi Yan mistakenly thought that Qing Shan had his eye on the storage ring in her hand, and hurriedly spoke up.

This storage ring was given to her by Xiao Fan, who also instructed her that it came from her father, whom she had never met. Therefore, Zi Yan naturally did not want to easily hand it over to others.

Even those of his own kind standing before him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we do not covet His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's storage ring. We merely wish to use the mark within the ring to see if we can contact His Majesty the Dragon Emperor..."

Aoyama was somewhat excited.

This storage ring comes from the Dragon Emperor Zhukun. With this storage ring, one can determine the Dragon Emperor's condition.

The reason why the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has split into its current state over the years is because His Majesty the Dragon Emperor disappeared without ever leaving a single word.

Furthermore, the Northern Dragon King harbored wolfish ambitions, and with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor missing, rumors within the clan intensified. Ultimately, it was the Northern Dragon King's instigation that led to the rebellion of the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King.

If we learn of the Dragon Emperor's whereabouts, as long as we confirm that the Dragon Emperor is still alive...

Qingshan was confident that he could persuade the West Dragon King and the South Dragon King.

At that time, the long-standing division within the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan will finally come to an end.

"All right.........."

Zi Yan hesitated only slightly before handing the storage ring in her hand to Qingshan.

After all, she also wanted to know what was going on with her father, whom she had never met.

Moreover, Zi Yan understood that the elders before her were far stronger than herself, and that their willingness to discuss matters with her in this way already showed them great respect.

Moreover, since arriving on Dragon Island, Zi Yan has felt a strong sense of goodwill from everyone, so she is willing to trust Qing Shan this once.

Qingshan solemnly took the storage ring from Ziyan's hand, carefully releasing his soul power to probe into the ring.

"Roar!"

The next moment, a colossal phantom of an ancient dragon, seemingly spanning the entire starry sky, appeared in Qingshan's mind, and a fierce roar surged toward him.

His faint wisp of soul power instantly shattered into fragments amidst the roar.

Qingshan, holding the storage ring, turned pale. The other elders of Donglong Island beside him immediately wanted to step forward, but Qingshan stopped them with a gesture.

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha... Ahahahahahahahaha!"

At first, Qingshan only let out a soft laugh, then his shoulders gradually trembled, the laughter gradually spread, and he slowly squatted down, burying his head in his forearm, his palms tightly gripping the storage ring.

Finally, Qingshan's entire body trembled continuously, and he let out a roar that sounded like a sob. When he looked up again, his cheeks were already covered with tears, but his eyes shone like lightning.

"Hahahaha! Heaven has spared the lives of my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"

Qingshan raised the storage ring high in his hand, and the group of ancient dragons seemed to sense something as well, their eyes gradually brightening.

The aura of the green mountains spread out, quickly enveloping the entire Donglong Island, and the voice echoed throughout the island.

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor vanished for countless ages. Now, the young master has returned with His Majesty's decree and inherited the Dragon Emperor's Seal. The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void will surely serve His Highness loyally, subdue foreign lands, and unify Dragon Island!"

...........................................

In the ancient battlefield of the underworld.

A blood-red, illusory figure constantly moved through the mist, and with each appearance, a fierce and sharp attack rained down in all directions.

In the shadows, one by one, the Heavenly Soul Guards emerged from the darkness as the blood-red figure slashed at them, cautiously guarding against their opponent.

"The coordination of the third squad is still too rough."

Hunze and Hunyu led the remaining Heavenly Soul Guards to guard the outer perimeter.

Looking at the blood-red figure that was now completely surrounded, Hunze frowned slightly and spoke.

"After all, it is a newly reorganized team. It is quite remarkable that they have achieved the current level of cooperation in such a short period of time."

Hunyu shook his head slightly, his gaze also fixed on the third squad that was now surrounding the blood-red phantom.

The last time their Heavenly Soul Guard suffered losses, it wasn't just that they replaced the deputy commander, but also that there were significant changes in the personnel within the team.

They have already had countless opportunities to practice and improve teamwork and coordination.

"Roar!"

"Get out of here!"

A blood-red figure roared in the thick fog, and a dark red river of blood cleaved out from it like a blade of light. Where the red light passed, space recoiled, and the aura emanating from this figure had clearly reached the peak of the Dou Zun realm!

"laugh!"

Black flames appeared in mid-air. Xiao Fan looked at the blood-red figure struggling for its life, but his eyes did not relax in the slightest. He watched as the third squad assembled into an array, wearing down the power of the opponent's attack.

"My lord, Deputy Commander!"

When Hunze and Hunyu saw Xiao Fan appear, they exchanged a glance and bowed to him together.

Xiao Fan had already made it very clear to them that his ambitions lay elsewhere, and the Heavenly Soul Guard was not his choice. Therefore, their best solution was for them to work closely together and send Mo Shang away as soon as possible.

In this way, not only would they avoid antagonizing Mo Shang, but they could even use this opportunity to connect with Mo Shang, a prodigy with terrifying talent. This was the choice that Hun Ze and Hun Yu made.

So when they saw Xiao Fan appear, they rushed forward.

Nobody's a fool, there's no need to be too blunt. Looking at their loyal subordinates, Xiao Fan understood that they already trusted him.

At least that's the case on the surface.

"Is this the objective?"

"It should be him. The brothers have almost scouted the entire Blood River area. If we hadn't reacted quickly, he would have escaped the encirclement."

Hunze, standing to the side, spoke up and continued to explain to Xiao Fan:

"Now we're targeting the third squad. The third squad has just been rebuilt after a major overhaul, so we plan to use this opportunity to let them get to know each other."

"Ah."

Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

In addition to the person in charge, each team within the Heavenly Soul Guard also coordinates certain joint attack formations.

Therefore, although the blood-red figure's strength had reached the peak of Dou Zun, under the suppression of the formation assembled by the third squad, although it made the third squad somewhat strained, they were unable to break through.

"You scum of the Soul Clan, release me!"

Seemingly seeing no hope of breaking through, the figure roared and charged towards Xiao Fan and the others, seemingly intending to fight to the death.

Judging from the situation just now, he could also tell that Xiao Fan, Hun Ze, and Hun Yu were watching from a distance, and their status was clearly more noble.
