Chapter 3292: The Blood Dragon Clan
The Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven.
Although the Blood Dragon Clan was part of the dragon clan, they were not acknowledged by the dragon clan. Nevertheless, due to their strength and the number of the titled Celestial Emperors in the clan, they were considered a heaven-grade force in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven.
Over the years, the Blood Dragon Clan’s overall strength had developed to a frightening point. In fact, they were even more terrifying than the dragon clan in some aspects.
The Blood Dragon Clan was a mutant dragon clan, and they were known as the fallen dragon clan by the dragon clan. This was due to the need for a large amount of blood essence for a blood dragon to grow. Blood dragons would devour the blood essence of low-level Celestial Beasts or even top-tier Celestial Beasts to improve their strength.
Up until now, there was no ten-clawed divine dragon in the Blood Dragon Clan. Those with the purest in the clan were Nine-clawed Blood Dragons. Even then, there were no more than 50 Nine-clawed Blood Dragons in the clan. Therefore, the clan placed utmost importance on every Nine-clawed Blood Dragon. Every Nine-clawed Blood Dragon was given the best treatment and resources in the clan.
When the Soul Pearl of a Nine-clawed Blood Dragon that was kept in the Blood Dragon Clan’s Hall of Soul Pearls suddenly shattered, it immediately drew the attention of the elder on guard.
“This is… Isn’t this the Soul Pearl of Ji Xuan, the Grand Elder’s direct disciple?”
The Grand Elder of the Blood Dragon Clan was the second strongest powerhouse in the Blood Dragon Clan. He was only second to the Patriarch of the Blood Dragon Clan.
“It seems like there’s going to be chaos in the Blood Dragon Clan.”
The Hall of Soul Pearls elder sighed as he hurriedly sent a message to inform their patriarch of the incident. However, he did not inform the grand elder about this matter.
He knew if informed the grand elder of this, it was likely that the grand elder would vent his anger on him. It was best to let the patriarch inform the grand elder about this matter. No matter how furious the grand elder was, he would not vent his anger on the patriarch.
Apart from that, he was certain the grand elder also had one of Ji Xuan’s Soul Pearl. If the grand elder still did not know Ji Xuan had died, it would not be long before the grand elder found out about it.
As expected, it did not take long before a deafening roar resounded in the Blood Dragon Clan.
“Ji Xuan!”
“It seems like the grand elder just found out.” The Hall of Soul Pearls elder smiled bitterly. It did not take much to guess the roar was from the Grand Elder of the Blood Dragon Clan.
…
Ji Hu, the Grand Elder of the Blood Dragon Clan, was an old man with curly and unkempt hair that looked like snakes. He was dressed in a blood-red robe. At this moment, he was hovering in the air with an unsightly expression on his face.
After a few moments, a tall and muscular middle-aged man appeared. His complexion was jade-like, and his long hair rested on his back. His aura was that of someone who was used to being superior to everyone else.
“My condolences,” Ji Feng, the Patriarch of the Blood Dragon Clan and the strongest powerhouse in the clan, said as soon as he arrived.
“You’ve heard about it?” Ji Hu asked Ji Feng.
“Yes.” Ji Feng nodded. “I just received a message from the Hall of Soul Pearls. What happened? How did Ji Xuan die?”
“Ji Xuan went to the Title Temple with the Third Elder to try and obtain a title. When I spoke to the elder earlier, he said Ji Xuan was still in the Title Temple,” Ji Hu said as his eyes glinted coldly as he said, “This means Ji Xuan was in the midst of his test when he died…”
After a moment, Ji Hu asked in a deep voice, “Patriarch, can you accompany me to the Title Temple? I want to look for Ji Xuan’s murderer!”
“Grand Elder,” Ji Feng frowned slightly as he said, “Those from the Title Temple might know what happened, but the rules of Title Temple clearly state they’re not allowed to reveal what happened in the Title Temple. Only a few people had successfully discovered what happened during a test in the Title Temple.”
“It doesn’t matter if only a few had succeeded,” Ji Hu said, “I’m willing to pay any price to find out who killed Ji Xuan. I don’t think they’d be able to resist this offer.”
“Alright.” Ji Feng sighed. “If you insist, I’ll go with you.”
From their conversation, it was clear that those from the Title Temple could see what was going on during a test.
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that the Nine-clawed Blood Dragon he killed had such a formidable background. Naturally, even if he knew about Ji Xuan’s background beforehand, he still would not hesitate to kill Ji Xuan.
After leaving the platform, Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived at the test in the obstacle.
Similar to earlier, they were divided and sent to a space with crushing pressure. The difference was the pressure this time came from gravity.
“I’ll just continue refining the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s energy.” Duan Ling Tian was not in a hurry to leave. He sat down cross-legged and began to refine the energy from the Pine Willow Divine Tree with the guidance from the World Cleansing Divine Water.
Just like before, Duan Ling Tian only stopped when the gravity had grown so strong that he could no longer endure it. He quickly broke free and left the place.
Duan Ling Tian expected to meet Meng Hao Xuan and the others again after he left the imprisonment. However, he discovered he was alone on an empty and cold stone platform. The stone platform radiated a chilling aura that made one feel as though one was in an ice cave.
“Hm?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian noticed movements from the corners of his eyes. With this, he discovered another person standing at the other side of the stone platform.
When he turned to have a better look, he discovered the other person was an exact replica of himself.
Without any warning, the other Duan Ling Tian scoffed before he charged toward Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian assumed his opponent would use the law of space as well. However, to his surprise, his opponent used the law of water, which Duan Ling Tian had never comprehended, instead.
At this moment, two water tornadoes spun out toward Duan Ling Tian.
“Is this it?” Duan Ling Tian had expected his clone to be as powerful as him, but he soon discovered his clone was even weaker than Ji Xuan.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian teleported and reappeared behind his clone. Then, he cast the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity. Soon after, nine sword rays shot out like the scythe of the grim reaper.
When his clone finally fell to the ground, Duan Ling Tian was taken aback when he saw his clone’s appearance had changed to someone else. In fact, he was familiar with the person lying on the ground. That person was one of his and Meng Hao Xuan’s teammates.
Boom! Boom!
All of a sudden, two loud explosions rang in the air, and Duan Ling Tian felt the stone platform begin to shake. When he looked up, he saw another stone platform was now connected to the stone platform he was standing on. He saw another person standing on the other platform with a figure lying by his feet.
The person who was standing was Meng Hao Xuan while the person lying by his feet was their other teammate.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian and Meng Hao Xuan were the only survivors in their original group of five.
“Duan Ling Tian?” Meng Hao Xuan seemed shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian and the body lying by his feet. He could not help but ask, “Did he look like you before you killed him?”
“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded
“It’s the same for me as well.” Meng Hao Xuan smiled bitterly. “Where are we? Something doesn’t feel right. Our stone platforms are connected now; don’t tell me we’re supposed to fight…”
“It’s possible, but we don’t have to necessarily do that…” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “Let’s see if we can find another way out…”
“Alright.” Meng Hao Xuan nodded. At the same time, he sighed in relief inwardly; he could tell Duan Ling Tian had no intention of fighting him. Perhaps, if he did not witness Duan Ling Tian fighting Ji Xuan, the Nine-clawed Blood Dragon, he might have been confident about defeating Duan Ling Tian. However, at this time, he was certain he was no match for Duan Ling Tian even if he was much stronger than Ji Xuan. If Duan Ling Tian insisted on fighting him, he knew he would die.
At this time, Meng Hao Xuan was unaware that Duan Ling Tian would not kill him unless he attacked Duan Ling Tian first. After all, he was Huan’er’s father’s junior brother.
How was Duan Ling Tian supposed to face Huan’er’s father in the future if he killed Meng Hao Xuan? Moreover, Meng Hao Xuan had provided him with an important lead regarding Huan’er’s parents’ location in the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate. Although Meng Hao Xuan had only spoken about where Huan’er’s father was imprisoned, he was sure Huan’er’s mother must be imprisoned in the same place as well.
When faced with another problem, Duan Ling Tian sought out the World Cleansing Divine Water again. After he studied his surroundings, he still could not find anything. Therefore, he called out, “Sister Water.”
“Only one person can leave this place,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said.
Although Duan Ling Tian had prepared himself for this possibility, his heart still sank when he heard the World Cleansing Divine Water’s words. In the end, he still had to fight Meng Hao Xuan to death? He really felt like he was caught between a rock and hard place.
He asked with a bitter smile on his face, “Must I really kill him to get out?”
“Not necessarily,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said, “After looking around, I determined that only one person can leave this place. However, you can circumvent this rule by letting the other person hide in your Little World. Naturally, not many people are willing to let others into their Little Worlds; it’s very risky after all. Although there’s no way he can destroy your Little World, you have too many secrets in your Little World that you can’t let him find out…”
