Xiao Tian stood up, pulled Zi Yan behind him, and coldly shouted at the void in front of him, his fighting spirit swirling around him, ready to strike at any moment.
Behind her, Zi Yan also put away her honey, her eyes scanning her surroundings before finally pointing to a spot. "There."
Zi Yan was most adept at spatial perception; even a Dou Zun could not compare to her.
After Zi Yan finished speaking, the space in the spot she pointed to began to tremble, and then five figures walked out from within.
The leader was a burly man, as strong as an iron tower, whose body exuded a domineering muscularity.
Xiao Tian sized up the man in front of her; his appearance and aura seemed somewhat familiar.
The burly man at the head of the group ignored Xiao Tian. He looked at a fragment in his hand, which was now emitting a purple-gold light and trembling.
His rugged face lit up with excitement and surprise. "Finally... finally found it!"
He lowered his head, his eyes scanning downwards until they finally landed on Xiao Tian and Zi Yan.
When his gaze swept over Xiao Tian, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xiao Tian for a long time before moving past Xiao Tian and glancing at Zi Yan behind him.
When his gaze fell on Zi Yan, he felt a kind of bloodline suppression, and the flow of bloodline power in his body slowed down considerably.
The man had confirmed that the other person was the one he was looking for, and his body began to tremble slightly. He had not expected things to go so smoothly this time.
While they were sizing up Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian was also sizing them up. Seeing how excited he was looking at Zi Yan, and considering his rugged yet somewhat handsome appearance, Xiao Tian roughly guessed who they were.
Xiao Tian did not expect the other party to arrive so quickly, but considering the spatial attributes of the Ancient Void Dragon, it seemed normal.
This is the power of reputation; no human or beast can surpass the talent of the Ancient Dragon Clan in spatial abilities.
Xiao Tian asked the burly man in front of him, "The Ancient Void Dragon Clan?"
"Huh? You know us?" The man was slightly taken aback when he heard Xiao Tian's sudden question.
Behind Xiao Tian, Zi Yan looked up and stared in astonishment at the five people in mid-air. The Ancient Void Dragon—were they not her own people?
"I did not expect you to recognize us. That is right, we are from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan." Looking at the other man's overly handsome face and the faint sense of oppression emanating from him, Hei Qing's intuition told him that the young man in front of him might be stronger than himself.
"But we are not here to see you this time."
After saying that, he led the four of them down from mid-air to the ground, and stopped five steps away from Xiao Tian with a look of surprise on his face.
Then he looked directly at Zi Yan behind Xiao Tian. "Your Excellency, we have no ill intentions. May we ask the person behind you to come out? We want to confirm something."
The man spoke very politely at this moment, and even cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Xiao Tian, looking very pleading.
Putting aside the fact that she already knew the other party's identity, Xiao Tian already approved of them based on their polite attitude alone.
As the saying goes, you cannot hit someone who is smiling.
"What is it?" Xiao Tian glanced at the purple-gold fragment in the other person's eyes.
"Please have the person behind you touch this, so we can see if they are the person we are looking for."
Although Hei Qing was certain that the person in front of him who looked like a little girl was the one he was looking for, he still needed to be one hundred percent sure.
After he finished speaking, he controlled the fragment to float slowly in front of Xiao Tian, and then continued, "Do not worry. This thing will not cause her any harm."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan looked up at Xiao Tian, who nodded to her.
Seeing Xiao Tian's actions, Zi Yan stepped out from beside Xiao Tian, came to the fragment, and gently touched it with her finger.
Just as Zi Yan touched the fragment, the fragment shone with a brilliant purple-gold light, and a dragon's roar came from within the fragment, echoing across half the mountain range.
The magical beasts inside the mountain range instantly felt a powerful suppressive force, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, even the seventh-tier magical beasts.
However, this oppressive aura came quickly and went quickly as well.
Upon seeing this, the five men trembled with excitement, knelt down, and lowered their heads. The four behind them did the same. The leader said loudly, "Hei Qing, a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, has come here to respectfully welcome His Highness back to the clan, as ordered by the clan elders."
Zi Yan, who was in a daze, was startled by the shouts of the five people and staggered backward. Xiao Tian quickly caught her.
"Xiao Tian, are they really from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, that is, my clansmen?" Zi Yan's voice carried a hint of doubt, but more than that, it was filled with joy.
"Yes, and it is still the place I told you before that you can go back to without worry."
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Zi Yan recalled what Xiao Tian had told her about the current situation of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
The only island I can trust is East Dragon Island, one of the four islands in the east, west, south, and north.
Hei Qing also heard Xiao Tian's name and words. He glanced at Xiao Tian with a flicker in his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and then respectfully addressed Zi Yan again.
"Your Highness, we are indeed from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. What you just saw was a token of our clan. We have come here to welcome Your Highness back to the clan."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's face instantly lit up with a smile. Although she had already experienced many family members she had dreamed of having in the Primordial Heaven Realm, she still longed to find her own kind and at least meet one of her own.
Only by returning to her own clan could she enhance her strength and grow stronger. Most importantly, she could become the future Dragon Emperor. Once she became the Dragon Emperor, she could, like Sister Cai Li, directly merge the entire clan into the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace.
In that case, I might be ranked second in the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace.
As for first place, it was of course Sister Xun'er, and no one could shake her position.
As she thought about it, Zi Yan straightened her back.
Xiao Tian looked at Zi Yan, who had suddenly become inexplicably spirited, and was full of questions. He reached out and touched Zi Yan's forehead. "Your forehead is not hot. Did you eat honey and mess up your brain?"
"Get lost, I am fine. This is an adult matter. Kids should not ask about it." Zi Yan slapped Xiao Tian's hand away.
Hei Qing lowered his head and looked at Xiao Tian and Zi Yan, who were being intimate in front of him. He did not dare to say anything; these things were none of his business.
What Hei Qing did not know was that after they brought back their royal bloodline, they were now thinking about how to sell them out and gain power.
I wonder if this counts as inviting a wolf into the house?
