Chapter 1641: Chapter 1641: Secondary Dragon Leader, Lan!
The people from the Sky Horse Clan didn’t hide Zhang Chujia’s final words when they reported earlier. Moreover, their admiration for Lan Xuanyu is almost fanatical now. This Golden Dragon Princess has done so much for Sky Horse Star.
“Why didn’t you tell me my mother’s final instructions, the Divine Fire Dragon Knight?” the voice of the Sky Dragon Leader was somewhat low, even slightly hoarse.
Although he had remained expressionless before, in fact, the passing of the Divine Fire Dragon Knight had a massive impact on him.
Since childhood, he had actually been cultivating under his mother’s guidance. Everything he had today was, in fact, achieved step by step under Zhang Chujia’s arrangements. He had not encountered many setbacks, growing stronger each day under his mother’s protection, possessing a powerful bloodline wife, gaining the Red Gold Mysterious Flame, and ultimately becoming the undisputed Sky Dragon Leader.
But now, the mountain behind him had collapsed. Although he had long known that his mother didn’t have much time left, with Lan Xuanyu’s bloodline evolving, Zhang Chujia seemed to rejuvenate.
His feelings towards his mother were complex; along with respect and admiration, there was also a sense of rebellion. He lived under his mother’s shadow for far too long. He inherently disliked having everything arranged by his mother. In his youth, he had been fond of a mid-rank Dragon Clan female. But later, that female dragon disappeared forever. Although no one ever told him how she disappeared, he knew it was his mother. No one else had such authority except his mother. Even his father, the previous Sky Dragon Leader, had to obey her.
In the end, he had to be with Jialin, whom he didn’t genuinely love, formed a contract and marriage, and evolved the Red Gold Mysterious Flame. Was his mother wrong? In some sense, she wasn’t. However, he truly didn’t like it.
Time passed, and his mother suddenly left, departed to protect their homeland; she remained a hero of the Dragon Clan, yet her departure left the Sky Dragon Leader’s heart feeling hollow. Only now did he fully understand, no matter how resistant he was to some of his mother’s actions in the past, deep down, he always deeply loved her.
So when he spoke to Lan Xuanyu at this moment, looking at the one his mother entrusted everything to, whom she once planned to match him with, his heart couldn’t hold back.
Because Lan Xuanyu was right in front of him, he felt the Sky Dragon Leader’s vulnerability at this moment acutely. He had never seen him like this before, especially in front of so many Dragon Knights and Sky Horse Knights.
“Leader, please accept my condolences. I preserved godmother’s body. She will always live in our hearts,” Lan Xuanyu said softly.
A trace of desolate sorrow flashed in the Sky Dragon Leader’s eyes, “Thank you. If not for you, I might not have even been able to see her one last time. Don’t call me Leader anymore; you’re her acknowledged daughter, just like my sister. What she said, I will abide by. However, Lan, you are not yet a true Dragon Knight. And I can’t place all this on your shoulders until you’ve achieved Ultra Divine and everything stabilizes. Then, you will be the next Sky Dragon Leader. Today, I ask all the Sky Horse Knights to witness on behalf of our clan. Those words, heaven and earth can attest!”
When he said the last four words, they were resolute. Invisibly, the entire space trembled slightly. At his level, his words carried a semblance of becoming reality.
All the Dragon Knights, surprised, turned their eyes towards Lan Xuanyu.
Previously, while listening to the Sky Horse Clan’s recount, they were completely shocked. They truly did not expect that Lan Xuanyu had reached such a level, playing an almost cornerstone role in this great battle.
However, they increasingly felt Lan Xuanyu’s bloodline power, even they, under Lan Xuanyu’s aura, had urges stirring in their bloodline.
Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly, “Brother, I did not intend to become…”
The Sky Dragon Leader interrupted him, saying, “This is not about what you intend or not intend. It is what you must do.”
Saying this, he paused, somewhat bitterly, “This was also something my mother said to me years ago. At that time, I didn’t want to become what I am now. But later, I understood; she wasn’t wrong. From the day you possessed the Dragon Clan bloodline, you also took on the Dragon Clan’s responsibility. As your bloodline continuously evolves beyond all clans, this responsibility only grows larger. From today, you are the second seat of my Sky Dragon Assembly, just after Brother Zhong. In the near future, you will be the next Leader. I believe in my mother’s vision, and I believe in your ability and the strength of your bloodline. The future of the Dragon Clan, under your leadership, will undoubtedly go further and become stronger.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Dragon Knights present, except for Secondary Dragon Leader and Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, slightly bowed, greeting Lan Xuanyu, “Greetings, Second Seat.”
Lan Xuanyu was a bit stunned, but this time he said nothing more, only slightly nodding in return.
Bai Xiuxiu was also among the Dragon Knights, feeling a peculiar sensation in her heart.
Xuanyu really is…
As an undercover agent, accomplishing what he had was likely unprecedented in the entire universe, wasn’t it?
After all, they were humans, infiltrating into Sky Dragon Planet, a world devoid of humans. Only through his bloodline and his intelligence and wit, he steadily ascended from a common Dragon Clan member to become the Secondary Dragon Leader, accompanied by the sacrifices of Zhang Chujia and several old dragons. Now he truly ranks third in the Dragon Clan, only surpassed by Sky Dragon Leader Jiang Weiqiang and Secondary Dragon Leader, Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang.
This development and change happened incredibly fast. Their entire undercover operation hadn’t even lasted two years!
Even before the recent war with the Deep Red Realm started, Lan Xuanyu’s position was far less significant. Who could have imagined that in such a short time, he would reach this stage? After becoming the Secondary Dragon Leader, he had become genuinely influential in all decisions regarding the Dragon Clan, even the Dragon Horse Federation’s decisions.
Who else felt a peculiar sensation in their hearts besides her? Even the Sky Horse Sect Leader’s gaze flickered, feeling a hint of regret.
Back at the exchange competition on Sky Horse Star, he had already seen the promising future achievements of Lan Xuanyu. That’s why he encouraged his son to approach her, attempt marriage alliances, or even stay in the Sky Horse Clan. For this, he proposed considerable benefits.
But he still didn’t expect Lan Xuanyu’s rise in status to be so rapid.
Indeed, everything happened far too quickly. In less than a year, this rising star of the Dragon Clan had already become the Secondary Dragon Leader of the Sky Dragon Assembly. Yet she still wasn’t a true Dragon Knight!
Moreover, her grace towards Sky Horse Star had garnered the entire Sky Horse Clan’s gratitude. If she becomes the Sky Dragon Leader in the future, her control over Sky Horse Star might exceed Jiang Weiqiang’s current level.
Thinking of this, the Sky Horse Sect Leader couldn’t help but feel some apprehension. Divine Fire Dragon Knight Zhang Chujia had never made the wrong choice, and he deeply agreed with the words just said by the Sky Dragon Leader. Since Zhang Chujia had said, Lan Xuanyu was more suitable to become the Sky Dragon Leader among the Dragon Clan, then she must be more suitable. Her bloodline had grown to such an extent, could it mean she has a potential to reach God-king level in the future? If so, it would be an entirely different matter. At that time, even the Sky Horse Clan wouldn’t be qualified to rival the Dragon Clan.
