Although Yaojiao Guang had also lived for that long, judging by his appearance, one would feel that it would be no issue for him to continue living for four to five thousand more years. The reason for that was because he simply did not give off the appearance of having deteriorated with age.
“Our King Monstrous Dragon Race possesses the Bloodlines of True Dragons. Although it is only a tiny bit, it is sufficient to allow our lifespans to surpa.s.s those of ordinary monstrous beasts. Moreover, monstrous beasts possess a longer life expectancy than humans to begin with,” Yaojiao Guang explained.
“Monstrous beasts fill every corner of the Holy Land of Martialism. However, very few among them possess n.o.ble Bloodlines. Today, this old man’s horizons have been broadened,” Baili Xuankong nodded.
Yaojiao Guang looked to Baili Xuankong and asked, “This brother, you should be the one who saved little friend Chu Feng in Mooncloud City, right? I already know of Brother Hong Qiang. Brother, may I know your distinguished name?”
From his pa.s.sionate gaze, it could be seen that he wanted to find out Baili Xuankong’s ident.i.ty underneath that conical bamboo hat.
“This…” Chu Feng was slightly hesitant. After all, the ident.i.ty of his Ancestor was something that no one knew about even now. The reason for that was because Baili Xuankong’s ident.i.ty concerned the safety of the Cyanwood Mountain.
“It’s alright,” However, Baili Xuankong waved his hand at Chu Feng. Then, he removed his conical bamboo hat and said, “I am Baili Xuankong.”
“So it’s actually Brother Baili. It is my pleasure to meet you,” Yaojiao Guang felt very honored to be able to see Baili Xuankong’s true appearance.
At this moment, Hong Qiang also looked to Baili Xuankong with a pensive gaze. After all, it was also the first time that he had seen Baili Xuankong’s true appearance. Merely, that name ‘Baili Xuankong’ was sounded somewhat familiar to him. Yet, he was unable to recall where he had heard it.
This was not because Hong Qiang possessed a bad memory. Although Baili Xuankong had become famous very early, he had disappeared and entered seclusion training when his fame in the Cyanwood Domain was at its greatest. Currently, there were truly not many people who still knew of him.
“Clan Chief Yaojiao, please forgive this old man for being blunt. This rule of your King Monstrous Dragon Beasts seems to be somewhat unconventional.”
“Even if you should abdicate after being the Clan Chief for eight thousand years, the next Clan Chief should be someone with the proper qualifications. How could you all jump so far and directly choose the next Clan Chief from the younger generation?”
“How is the new Clan Chief, with his cultivation and status, possibly capable of convincing the ma.s.ses, not to mention the outsiders, but merely the people within the King Monstrous Dragon Race, to serve him?” Baili Xuankong asked in a very puzzled manner. As for this, it was also what Chu Feng and Hong Qiang were puzzled by.
“There are two factions in our King Monstrous Dragon Race. The two factions are the most crucial. As for the position of Clan Chief, it is merely a t.i.tle. When a member of the younger generation succeeds as the next Clan Chief, it will only be in name. The true authority will actually end up going to the leader of the faction that the member of the younger generation belongs to,” Yaojiao Guang said.
“So that’s the case. This old man understands now. Merely, you said earlier that Chu Feng can help you. However, I feel that Chu Feng will likely be powerless in something like this, no?” Baili Xuankong asked.
“It is indeed possible for little friend Chu Feng to help me strive for a chance,” Yaojiao Guang said as he looked to Chu Feng.
“Senior, please tell me straightforwardly,” Chu Feng said.
“Little friend Chu Feng, do you still remember my daughter, Yaojiao Tingyu?” Yaojiao Guang asked.
“I became acquainted with Princess Tingyu on the Weaponry Refinement Immortal’s Immortal Island. Chu Feng naturally remembers her,” Chu Feng had a very good impression of Yaojiao Tingyu. In fact, it could be said that Chu Feng had a very good impression of the entire King Monstrous Dragon Beast race so far.
After all, during the moment when so many humans wanted to kill him, it was the King Monstrous Dragon Beasts who had saved him. That sort of special sensation was something that only Chu Feng understood.
“Although Tingyu is very young, she is actually the one with the best talent among my ninety-nine children.”
“Generally, our King Monstrous Dragon Race’s elders never interfere with the two factions fighting over the position of Clan Chief. All they care about is the younger generation’s cultivation and strength.”
“However, this time around, they have made an exception and put forth a condition. As long as Tingyu is capable of succeeding Lord Dragon King’s inheritance, she will become our King Monstrous Dragon Race’s Clan Chief,” Yaojiao Guang said.
“Lord Dragon King?” Hearing those words, the expressions of Chu Feng, Hong Qiang and Baili Xuankong all changed. Their gazes began to flicker. For some reason, they felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing that name.
“Lord Dragon King is one of the Holy Land of Martialism’s Five Emperors, the five overlords.”
“Beast Emperor, Black Dragon King,” Yaojiao Guang said.
“What? He was actually the Beast Emperor, Black Dragon King?” Hong Qiang opened his mouth wide in shock. Even Chu Feng and Baili Xuankong were feeling very surprised.
After all, hearing what Yaojiao Guang said, he seemed to be indicating that the Beast Emperor, the Black Dragon King, had a definite relations.h.i.+p with their King Monstrous Dragon Beast race.
“It is as you all have thought, Lord Dragon King was a monstrous beast. Furthermore, he was a member of our King Monstrous Dragon Beast race. He is the hero of our King Monstrous Dragon Beast race,” Yaojiao Guang said.
“I have indeed heard that the Beast Emperor might have been a monstrous beast. However, that was only a possibility. Never would I have expected it to actually be true,” The shock Baili Xuankong was feeling did not decrease in the slightest. It was very difficult for him to digest this matter.
“Amazing! After the Five Emperors disappeared, no one knew anything about them. Not to mention their descendants, people don’t even know where they were buried.”
“Yet now, not long after the emergence of Emperor Gong’s successor, the Beast Emperor’s successor is also about to emerge. This is truly astonis.h.i.+ng.”
“What are troubled times? These are troubled times!” Hong Qiang exclaimed repeatedly.
“When mentioning it, I am truly ashamed. Lord Dragon King possessed remarkable abilities. However, no one in our entire King Monstrous Dragon Race has been able to obtain his inheritance. Even for my daughter Tingyu, she only has a possibility of success.”
“However, whether or not she will actually be able to obtain it will all depend on little friend Chu Feng’s help. As long as little friend Chu Feng is willing to help, regardless of success or failure, I, Yaojiao Guang, will definitely remember this favor. If little friend Chu Feng were to need my a.s.sistance in the future, I would definitely risk my life and limb to help you out,” Yaojiao Guang said as he looked to Chu Feng.
“Senior, you mean to say that as long as Princess Tingyu is able to obtain the inheritance, she will be the next Clan Chief?” Chu Feng asked.
“That is indeed the case. Lord Dragon King possessed a special status in our King Monstrous Dragon Race. As long as Tingyu is capable of obtaining his inheritance, regardless of what her cultivation might be, she will still be able to become the next Clan Chief.”
“Merely, Tingyu has already attempted to obtain the inheritance many times. Although she was able to enter the Inheritance Pond left behind by Lord Dragon King, she was incapable of successfully obtaining the inheritance,” When mentioning this matter, Yaojiao Guang had an expression of helplessness.
“Am I really capable of helping in something like this?” Chu Feng asked.
“Little friend Chu Feng, do you still remember the pond in the Immortal Island?” Yaojiao Guang asked.
“I do,” Chu Feng said.
“The Inheritance Pond Lord Dragon King left behind resembles the Weaponry Refinement Immortal’s Pond in some respects. One’s talent is what determines whether one can enter that pond. As for whether or not one can obtain the inheritance in the pond, it depends on one’s talent even more.”
“I have heard that little friend Chu Feng possesses an extremely valiant talent. If you were to enter the Inheritance Pond alongside my daughter, you might be able to make the Inheritance Pond pa.s.s Lord Dragon King’s power on to my daughter,” Yaojiao Guang said.
