Chapter 1999: Chapter 1996: Preparing to Take Action!
Ren Feifan took a few steps and suddenly thought of something, turned back, and came to the Supreme Elder, bowing slightly, and asked, "Supreme Elder, do you know most of the Dragon Clan members?"
The Supreme Elder, just recovering from his shock, looked at Ren Feifan and replied, "I am in charge of the entire Dragon Clan roster; every member is registered on it. Why do you ask?"
Noticing the Supreme Elder’s caution, Ren Feifan smiled and said, "Well... can I ask you for some information? If it’s inconvenient, I can ask your Hall Master later as well..."
The Supreme Elder’s mouth twitched slightly. He gave Ren Feifan a meaningful glance and said, "Just tell me directly. The Hall Master is busy with numerous affairs and doesn’t need to be disturbed by such trivial matters."
Ren Feifan didn’t beat around the bush and said, "Elder, do you know Long Taolang?"
Upon hearing the name Long Taolang, the Supreme Elder’s eyes narrowed, and he questioned, "Why do you need to know about this person?"
"Could it be that the elder has some unspeakable concerns?"
After pondering for a few seconds, the Supreme Elder explained, "Not really. Long Taolang and Long Canglang are brothers; both are subordinates of the Overlord Dragon King. Long Taolang is incredibly powerful, and even the Overlord Dragon King gives him some regard. I’m just curious why you’re suddenly asking about him."
Upon hearing this, Ren Feifan finally realized.
The black dragon that the Dragon Maiden dealt with last time seemed to be Long Canglang!
They had nearly incapacitated Long Canglang, so his brother likely harbored deep resentment against them.
It seems that obtaining the whereabouts of Ye Qingtian has become even more difficult!
"Elder, so Long Taolang is by the Overlord Dragon King’s side now?" Ren Feifan confirmed.
"That’s right, but typically, Long Taolang rarely takes action. He’s like a general; only when things can’t be resolved directly does he intervene," the Supreme Elder continued.
"Understood."
Ren Feifan nodded, turned, and left with the Dragon Maiden and others.
Currently, the clues to the Demon Lord’s corporeal form and the Overlord Dragon King’s matters almost form a straight line.
As long as the Overlord Dragon King is eliminated, everything will become clear.
For two whole days, Ren Feifan and the Dragon Maiden, among others, were in seclusion in the cultivation chamber at Ren’s Mansion. They needed to restore their strength to its peak!
The battle with the Overlord Dragon King, truth be told, has a fifty-fifty chance of victory.
Although he had fought with the Overlord Dragon King in the Nine Dragon Tower hundreds of years ago, Ren Feifan knew they were entirely different concepts.
The current Overlord Dragon King has assimilated countless strong bloodlines; his sheer bloodline alone can crush numerous individuals!
...
Two days later, in a dim great hall of the Dragon Clan.
The Overlord Dragon King opened his eyes, surrounded by countless blood gas. With a slight wave of his arm, he wielded extraordinarily terrifying dragon force.
Beside him, there were a full forty withered corpses!
Some of these corpses were his subordinates, while others were taken from the Dragon Clan, including elders and children!
Any bloodline with the slightest worth was forcibly stripped by him!
He stood up, looking at his hands with satisfaction.
His gaze shifted to the depths of the hall, and he sneered, "Now my bloodline is sufficient to withstand the ancient Kylin bloodline and the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger bloodline. Once I fully absorb those bloodlines, the whole world will be mine, the Overlord Dragon King’s!"
After speaking, the Overlord Dragon King walked toward the depths.
Soon, he arrived at the place where the ancient Kylin and the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger were confined.
The Corroding Sky Striped Tiger roared furiously upon seeing the Overlord Dragon King, struggling to break free from the chains.
Meanwhile, the ancient Kylin sat cross-legged, saying and doing nothing, with eyes closed.
The Overlord Dragon King licked his lips, saying, "I have good news for you. In three hours, I will devour your bloodlines. Honestly, I’ve been looking forward to this moment for too long. Ancient bloodlines, ah, these are terrific things, more terrifying than absorbing the bloodlines of thousands of people. Once absorbed, the entire Dragon Clan is within reach! Haha!"
The Corroding Sky Striped Tiger let out another roar upon hearing this, but the more it struggled, the tighter the chains became, with waves of pain washing over it.
The Overlord Dragon King took a step forward, unfazed by the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger, and said, "Struggle, go ahead. The chains and seals on you are custom-made by me. No matter how strong a bloodline is, it must lie quietly here!"
The icy gaze of the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger fixated on the Overlord Dragon King, vowing that if he could live to escape, he would tear this guy into pieces!
The Overlord Dragon King ignored the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger. Although its bloodline was decent, it paled compared to the ancient Kylin.
He approached the ancient Kylin, observing its peaceful appearance with closed eyes, and was puzzled, asking, "Aren’t you afraid at all?"
"Or do you believe you’re certain you won’t die?"
The ancient Kylin slowly opened its eyes, calmly glanced at the Overlord Dragon King, and said lightly, "Old man, I just performed a divination for you, and it’s extremely ominous; your days are numbered."
The Overlord Dragon King laughed heartily a few times, then his laughter froze, as he grabbed the chains on the ancient Kylin.
"You say I am doomed? In my realm, I’d like to see who dares give me an ill fate! Do you really think that half-God realm brat and that little girl can save you? A half-God realm scum is no different from ants in front of me!"
The ancient Kylin shook its head, ignoring the Overlord Dragon King, and said to the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger, "Don’t move either, just close your eyes like me and take a good rest. When that kid arrives, you’ll have the strength to bite this guy to death."
Upon hearing this, the bloodlust in the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger’s eyes slowly subsided as it, too, fell into silence, emulating the ancient Kylin.
The Overlord Dragon King glanced at the two, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeve!
...
Meanwhile, at Ren’s Mansion, the door to the cultivation chamber was knocked.
Ren Feifan opened his eyes, and the violent flames surrounding his body gradually extinguished.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Elder Ren walked in.
Ren Feifan raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, "Elder Ren, what’s the matter?"
Elder Ren had a hint of panic on his face and said seriously, "Mr. Ren, if I am not mistaken, the Overlord Dragon King is ready to act. My people have already discovered that they are starting a blood sacrifice ceremony."
Unconsciously, Elder Ren’s way of addressing Ren Feifan had changed. A person who had passed the sixth level of the Nine Dragon Tower deserved such a respectful title from him.
Upon hearing this, a flash of murderous intent crossed Ren Feifan’s eyes as he directly pulled the Ancient Dust Sword embedded in the ground.
"Dragon Maiden, Little Demon, how are your preparations?"
The Dragon Maiden opened her eyes, moved her fingers, tearing open eight space cracks before quickly closing them. In her palm appeared the Dragon Subduing Whip, which she waved lightly, releasing a powerful gust that forced Elder Ren to instinctively step back a few steps, his face filled with terror!
"Brother Feifan, I am fully recovered! If I don’t whip that Overlord Dragon King to death today, I won’t be satisfied!"
