Early the next morning, just as the first rays of the rising sun appeared.
Wei Yang and the others set out, leaving Falling Star Pavilion and heading straight toward the Beast Region. For this trip, besides Wei Yang and Xiao Yan, Qing Lin, Medusa, and Ah Da also followed.
A total of five people were heading to the Beast Region, while the rest stayed behind at their base. This was not their first time going to the Beast Region, so they were already quite familiar with the route.
Now that their strength had greatly increased, their traveling speed was naturally much faster than before. What once took at least ten days now required only half a day.
When a long dark line appeared at the distant edge of the horizon, faintly outlining a vast stretch of mountain range, it signaled that the Beast Region had been reached.
After entering the Beast Region, Wei Yang and the others did not linger and headed directly toward the territory of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, as one of the three major clans of the Magic Beast, occupied quite a large territory.
However, their true main base was deep underground. Of course, they also had numerous branches scattered across the surface. Among the three great beast clans, this clan possessed the greatest numbers, relying on sheer quantity and overwhelming numbers.
But such massive population naturally led to their bloodline becoming impure. According to the elders of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, if things continued this way, in a hundred years the ancient bloodline they possessed would be completely diluted.
When that time came, the new generation of Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons would degrade to the level of common serpent-type magical beasts, with no remaining advantage in their bloodline.
Because of this matter, the tribe was filled with disputes and disagreements. But it was a dead knot — without an infusion of ancient bloodline, and with their current rate of reproduction, the outcome would become inevitable sooner or later.
Unless a Nine Serene Deep Ground Python ascended to the rank of Emperor, awakening the ancestral bloodline and blessing the entire clan, or unless they found ancient bloodline to infuse, there was essentially no solution.
The Nine Serene Ground Abyss was one of the main passageways into the underground world, and it was occupied by the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. Therefore, the defenses here were considered extremely strict, but such strictness only applied to ordinary experts.
With the current strength of Wei Yang and the others, such defenses might as well not exist.
Swoosh!
The figures of the group appeared atop a mountain near the abyss entrance, standing there openly while observing their surroundings.
However, faint spatial ripples shrouded around them.
Wei Yang glanced casually at the seemingly strict defenses ahead, then withdrew his gaze, no longer interested. This was how it was for a Dou Sheng. At this level, there were very few places left in the world capable of blocking them.
Most spatial formations or defensive barriers, in their eyes, were no different from not being there at all. With a wave of his hand, Wei Yang was just about to use spatial power and bring everyone into the abyss.
Hmm?
His movement paused, and he turned his gaze toward a distant point in the sky. From that direction suddenly came the sound of air being torn apart, and immediately, several figures shot over from beyond the horizon.
Their speed was extremely fast, reaching the abyss area within a few flashes.
"There are others coming to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan too?" Xiao Yan and the others also looked toward them.
They watched as those figures descended and began speaking with the tribe's guards.
"These people… they look like they're from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan."
Wei Yang and the others stared at the newly arrived group, slightly surprised.
Because of Zi Yan, they were extremely familiar with the unique aura of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. The faintly emanating ancient dragon bloodline from those newcomers was impossible to conceal from their powerful senses.
They hadn't expected to encounter members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan here. This was quite rare, because the Ancient Void Dragon Clan normally resided deep within the void and seldom appeared in the outside world.
"It has been so many years. Zi Yan should have already awakened by now and returned to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to inherit the Dragon Emperor position, right? I wonder how strong she is now, Five-Star, Six-Star?" Wei Yang thought to himself.
"If Zi Yan has returned, she should currently be uniting the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and dealing with the other three Dragon Kings."
"Why would these members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan suddenly come to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, a clan they have nothing to do with?" Wei Yang frowned slightly.
Wei Yang's mind moved, and an extremely subtle fluctuation spread out rapidly, quietly extending like lightning.
When that concealed fluctuation reached the surroundings of those Ancient Void Dragons, faint fragments of their conversation traveled back through the space and reached the ears of Wei Yang and the others.
"The Dragon King sent us here."
"Dragon King!"
Hearing that phrase, the expressions of Wei Yang and the others changed slightly.
They naturally knew that the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was currently split into four factions. Aside from Eastern Dragon Island, which was loyal to Zi Yan and Zhu Kun, the other three dragon islands had rebelled and were controlled by the three Dragon Kings respectively.
The dragons of Eastern Dragon Island were loyal to the Dragon Emperor, so there was no such title as Dragon King among them. Therefore, the term Dragon King represented the rulers of the Southern, Western, and Northern Dragon Islands.
"These dragons were sent by the three dragon islands," Xiao Yan murmured, frowning slightly.
"The three islands' dragons?" Qing Lin and the others observed with curiosity in their eyes.
This was the first time they had seen Ancient Void Dragons other than Zi Yan and Hei Qing. This clan was always shrouded in mystery. Living deep within the void, even when their civil war was at its fiercest, the battle could not reach the continent.
So aside from the dragons themselves, outsiders likely had no idea what the current state of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was, or how the internal war was progressing.
"That girl Zi Yan, she didn't even have someone send word. Still as unreliable as ever," Wei Yang rubbed his brow, sounding helpless.
In his mind flashed the image of the gluttonous, fierce little female dragon, drooling whenever she saw good medicinal ingredients, acting adorable and ridiculous at the same time. If she had trouble, she could at least send someone to tell them.
Since it was an internal matter of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, without a request for aid, outsiders like them were not in a position to intervene rashly.
"I don't know which Dragon King sent these ones, but for them to leave the void and come to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan's territory, they must be after something," Xiao Yan said, worry surfacing in his eyes.
Although everyone had been busy over the years, seeing dragons appear so suddenly still stirred concern in Xiao Yan's heart.
According to what Wei Yang had said back then, at this point in time, Zi Yan should have awakened, left the Tuo She Ancient God's Mansion, and returned to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Her first task upon returning would undoubtedly be resolving the internal chaos of the dragon tribe, unifying it once more, and afterward gathering power to rescue Zhu Kun.
But in order to unify the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and secure the Dragon Emperor's throne, she would first have to deal with the three Dragon Kings.
Although Xiao Yan did not know the exact strength of those Dragon Kings, becoming a Dragon King meant they were true Dou Sheng experts.
The only uncertainty was how many stars.
Though Zi Yan, after absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, should without question have reached the Dou Sheng realm according to Wei Yang, Xiao Yan still did not know whether she alone could defeat all three Dragon Kings.
Thinking of this.
"Senior Brother, it looks like we need to find time to enter the depths of the void and investigate. Even if Zi Yan's strength surges after returning, those three Dragon Kings won't be easy opponents. We need to go help that girl," Xiao Yan said, looking toward Wei Yang.
"Yes." Wei Yang nodded slightly. "We really do need to take a trip to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan."
