The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 175
Chapter 175: Chapter 175 – Night Talk Between Two Women, The Great Elder of the Dragonfolk Clan
Night had fallen upon the summit of Enforcement Peak.
Mu Ruxue and the County King stood side by side.
“Why not go and see them?” Mu Ruxue asked.
The Commandery Princess removed her mask to reveal her true face, which belonged to Shu Hongyu.
“My father is determined to promote me to Commandery Princess and wants me to inherit the future position of the County King. It seems that I won’t have the chance to return to the Misty Sect,” sighed Shu Hongyu.
“Isn’t it good to become a County King? You will be the future ruler of the Southern River Basin, second only to a few, yet above millions,” Mu Ruxue said with a hint of envy.
Compared to County King City, the Divine Wind Sword Sect was still much weaker.
However, Mu Ruxue was confident that she could attempt to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm and lead the Divine Wind Sword Sect to ascend to a Three-Star level, becoming a great power comparable to the Mystique Kingdom.
“Not everyone thirsts for power as you do. I prefer a life of freedom without restraints… It seems I’ll have to encourage my father to take a few more royal consorts and have several children, to raise them as future candidates for the position of the County King and not bear all this pressure alone as his only child,” Shu Hongyu muttered.
Mu Ruxue didn’t know how to respond.
Shu Hongyu clearly had the qualifications to inherit the rank of the County King, yet she didn’t want it, which was indeed strange.
“Could it be that the Misty Sect really is that captivating?” Mu Ruxue whispered to herself, lost in thought.
Shu Hongyu shook her head and said, “No, the former Misty Sect was just an ordinary lower-ranked sect and wasn’t that compelling. But after living there for a while, I’ve found that I’m more suited for such a life, lazy clouds and wild cranes, not competing with the world, living in seclusion.”
“In short, you just don’t want to be bothered with management, right?” Mu Ruxue understood.
“Something like that!” Shu Hongyu nodded.
Gazing at the profound and vast starry sky, Shu Hongyu mused, “Look at how vast this universe is. Is it really interesting to just shrink within the small Southern River Basin? My future lies in conquering the stars and the sea!”
Gazing at the starry sky, Mu Ruxue said:
“Even achieving a break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, Divine Origin Realm, or even the supreme level of the Void Break Realm like the ancient ancestors, we still can’t leave the Shenzhou Continent. Without sufficient power, we can’t even travel to the stars, let alone conquer them.”
“Then one must break through to the level above Void Break, the Ancient Saint,” Shu Hongyu said with childlike innocence as she gazed at the dazzling starry sky.
Mu Ruxue shook her head.
She had supreme grade talent and was extremely gifted, but she only had the confidence to aim for the Divine Origin Realm. The levels above, Void Break and Ancient Saint, were almost like fanciful tales.
Such realms, across the entire Shenzhou Continent, were elite, but they were too distant for the time being.
“By the way, did the old ancestor of the Mystique Kingdom successfully transcend his tribulations?” Mu Ruxue, having thought of something, inquired.
Shu Hongyu nodded her head and said, “It’s almost certain that he succeeded.”
A sparkle flashed in Mu Ruxue’s eyes as she heard this: “Then the entire Mystique Kingdom is about to undergo a transformation.”
“Yes, a glorious era is about to begin,” Shu Hongyu said with a rare serious expression.
…
Ye Feng landed on the peak and let out a sigh of relief.
After two hours of full-speed flight, they had finally returned to Misty Peak. The disciples quickly bathed and changed clothes, using Spirit Spring Water to wash away their fatigue and went back to their rooms to rest.
Ye Feng sat on the roof of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, looking at the bright moon in the starry sky.
“Sect Master Uncle, when do we set off?” Long Tianxing climbed onto the roof and inquired.
“Tomorrow we will first go to see your mother and explain the situation before heading out,” said Ye Feng.
“Alright.” Long Tianxing immediately went back to his room to rest.
The next morning dawned.
After breakfast, Ye Feng and Long Tianxing left.
In the backyard of Dragon Mansion, Whitefloat City.
“Your father is trapped in a Cave Heaven World?” Upon hearing the two’s account, Long Yuxin gripped Long Tianxing’s shoulders tightly.
“Mother, don’t be nervous. Long Jiu said that supreme grade bloodline can open the gates of the Cave Heaven World. So I am going with the Sect Leader to the Dragonfolk Clan ancestral land to awaken my bloodline. If it’s of supreme grade, then we can rescue father… Oh, do you want to come with us?” Long Tianxing asked.
“Of course I’m coming!”
Long Yuxin had changed into a set of Dragonform Battle Armor, resembling a valiant and dashing female War General, and also held a slender sword in her hand.
“Give me a moment to contact Long Jiu,” Ye Feng hadn’t expected Long Yuxin to be so eager and quickly took out a silver paper crane, urging Long Tianxing to infuse it with Spiritual Energy, turning it into a streak of white light that shot into the distance.
This wait lasted for two hours.
Out of breath, Long Jiu appeared in the backyard of the Dragon Mansion, lamenting, “So you’ve been staying in such a remote place in Whitefloat City, making me sprint three thousand miles!”
Despite his frustration, seeing that Long Tianxing was ready to set out, Long Jiu was quite pleased.
Then, he glanced at Long Yuxin, who was clad in the Dragonform Battle Armor, and with a flash of surprise in his eyes, he said, “That’s Dragonfolk Armor. It seems you must be Long Yuanqing’s partner.”
“I can’t wait any longer, let’s set off immediately!” Long Yuxin said eagerly.
“Mhm,” Long Jiu nodded, and together with Ye Feng, Long Tianxing, and Long Yuxin, they boarded a dragon boat, tearing through the air, disappearing into the clouds, and swiftly flying toward the distance.
After half an incense stick had burned down.
Ye Feng and his companions arrived above the Taiyue Mountain Range, flying along it in a southwest direction, traversing mountains and rivers stretching three thousand miles, until they finally reached an ancient town surrounded by mountains on all sides.
“This is Dragonfolk Ancient Town, a mysterious area encircled by countless mountain ranges, and it’s the ancestral land of our Dragonfolk Clan,” Long Jiu said as he landed with the three others.
Ye Feng looked around and noticed that Dragonfolk Ancient Town covered an area of ten miles, with a population of perhaps tens of thousands. Regardless of age or gender, their hair was silver-gray and their pupils pale blue — most of them belonging to the Dragonfolk.
“There are outsiders!”
The people of Dragonfolk Ancient Town noticed Ye Feng and Long Yuxin. Seeing their black hair and black pupils, they curiously gathered on both sides of the street to watch.
Those uninformed might have thought they were being welcomed.
“These two are guests, stop staring!” Long Jiu waved his hand.
“Yes, Ninth Elder.”
The crowd reluctantly retreated, still casting curious glances at Ye Feng and Long Yuxin. Long Jiu was quite speechless about this.
As for Long Tianxing, with his silver hair and blue pupils, he attracted far less attention.
Within an ancient great hall.
Long Jiu stood in the center with Ye Feng and the other two, saying, “Please wait for a moment, the Great Elder is on his way.”
“I have already arrived.”
A hoarse voice sounded.
Immediately following, a massive figure with a walking stick emerged slowly from behind the hall, progressively appearing in everyone’s sight.
It was a Shar-Pei dog standing upright!
Its forelimbs had evolved into hands covered in dog fur, though with only four stubby fingers gripping a walking stick. Layers of skin piled upon each other on its face, making it appear extremely aged, as if it had lived for several thousand years.
As for its size…
It stood about three meters tall, quite corpulent, looking less like a dog and more like a massive elephant!
“I am the Great Elder of the Dragonfolk Clan. You can call me Agudo,” said the Great Elder of the Dragonfolk, wielding his walking stick, gasping for breath as if the walk had been exhausting.
“Greetings, Great Elder,” Long Jiu respectfully bowed.
Long Yuxin’s eyes widened in surprise, “Why is the Great Elder of the Dragonfolk a kindly-looking dog? Shouldn’t he be one of the Dragonfolk as well?”
Long Jiu shot her an angry glare, rebuking, “How dare you! He is our respected Great Elder, possessing bloodlines of the Mysterious Turtle, Dragon’s offspring and others, with formidable strength, extensive longevity, once fought alongside the Son of the Dragon God, and holds an exalted position. You must show respect.”
Hearing this, Long Yuxin immediately closed her mouth.
“The Human Race woman is right; my true form is indeed that of a dog. In the past, I was nurtured by the Son of the Dragon God and fused with various bloodlines, which has allowed me to survive until now,” the Great Elder coughed, appearing feeble, his gaze landing on Long Tianxing, “This young one must be the child of Long Yuanqing, with pure fur and deep blue pupils, high bloodline grade. Come with me.”
Having said that, the Great Elder began to walk outside.
Long Tianxing looked at Ye Feng beside him.
“Go ahead,” Ye Feng nodded.
“Alright,” Long Tianxing immediately followed the Great Elder of the Dragonfolk.
As for Ye Feng and Long Yuxin, they were stopped by Long Jiu.
