Cang Qinglong Saint lowered his right hand: "Who said that?"

"Hmph, you brought Zhiyu back with bad intentions; she’s safest by Master’s side!"

"Makes sense." A strange look flashed in Cang Qinglong Saint’s eyes as he turned to Jun Zhuoxiang and said: "Indeed, she’s gotten smarter."

Jun Zhuoxiang, the second strongest of the Azure Dragon Clan, nodded lightly: "It’s probably because of the Candle Dragon Eggshell Fragments."

"But not particularly clever." Cang Qinglong Saint looked back at Zhiyu with a slight smile: "Rest assured, before Zhu Tianqi fully responds, you’re just as safe here."

Zhiyu folded her arms across her chest and turned her head with a snort.

"Safe?" A booming voice suddenly rang out, and Zhiyu quickly scrambled behind Cang Qinglong Saint, warily eyeing Zhu Tianqi as he entered the Dragon Palace.

"Cang Qing, you’re quite confident in yourself, aren’t you?" Zhu Tianqi looked at Cang Qinglong Saint with indifference: "I’d love to see what your confidence stems from."

Boom!

Just as he finished speaking, a clap of thunder resounded in the sky, followed by a sudden flash of lightning that instantly opened a void passage in Jingfeng Abyss.

Amidst the thunder, a purple-haired female dragon descended slowly, carrying the overwhelming power of lightning.

Watching the dragon’s arrival, Zhu Tianqi’s mouth twitched: "So it’s really you."

Biluo Dragon Saint, the Clan Leader of the Thunder Dragon Clan.

One of the few Dragon Saints who does not regard the Upper Realm Ancient Court highly.

Over the years, Zhu Tianqi has had many reasons for not wanting to be injured, one of which is because of Biluo Dragon Saint.

This female dragon’s control over the Thunder Dragon Clan is too strong, her relationship with the Blue Dragon Clan Leader is excellent, and her power evenly matches Li Chengshi—truly an opponent that cannot be ignored.

Biluo Dragon Saint said blandly: "Is it surprising?"

"Not really." Zhu Tianqi replied nonchalantly: "But I do want to hear your reason. Cang Qing wanting to invite you isn’t an easy task.

Moreover, she probably can’t offer you enough benefit."

"Indeed." Biluo Dragon Saint did not conceal: "Cang Qing surely can’t afford to invite me, but there is someone who can."

"Who?"

"Huang Ningshang."

Hearing the name from Biluo Dragon Saint’s mouth, Zhu Tianqi was truly surprised.

He never expected to hear information about the Black Phoenix after returning from the Two Realms Pass.

"I see." Zhu Tianqi didn’t delve further, instead showing a friendly smile: "If that’s the case, let’s continue our discussion."

He looked at Cang Qinglong Saint and directly walked over to sit across from her—before he could speak, Cang Qinglong Saint spoke first: "Where are Fu Qiong and the others? They’re loyal to you, why not bring them along?"

"They have their own matters to attend to."

Zhu Tianqi glanced at Zhiyu behind Cang Qinglong Saint: "My purpose is solely her ancestral bloodline."

"Tell me, aside from the position of Demon Lord, what else do you want?"

"Simple, to eliminate the killer of my son-in-law."

Zhu Tianqi fell silent, as the one who killed the Taotie back then was the Clan Leader of the Black Phoenix Clan.

It was he who used the Time Path to locate and slay the Taotie.

"Can’t you change that?"

"No!"

"Does it have to be at this moment?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Yes."

Zhu Tianqi closed his eyes, silent for a while before suddenly speaking——

"Have you truly not sought refuge with the Human Clan?"

"I’ve brought Zhiyu back; this is my sincerity. So what’s Your Majesty the Demon Lord’s sincerity?"

Cang Qinglong Saint sneered: "I can’t send Zhiyu back to the Human Clan now, but I can still cripple her bloodline."

"Alright, wait for my news."
