Chapter 54: The Arrangement of the Candle Dragon
While all parties were waiting for the dragons' response, there was also a fierce debate going on within the dragons. And the content of the argument is also very simple - whether to join the demon clan or form an alliance with the witch clan.
Of course, the one who participated in the debate was naturally not the so-called Dragon King of the Four Seas that the Dragon Clan put on the surface, but the true essence of the Dragon Clan-the elders of the Dragon Clan, who had been living in seclusion in the abyss of the East China Sea.
The war between the three clans in ancient times, and because of the secret calculation of the Demon Ancestor Luohu, the three clans can be said to be defeated. Even though the dragon clan has a profound heritage, after this battle, there are only four masters at the level of Da Luo Jin Immortal, so they can only shrink their forces into the four seas to recuperate. And the Dragon King of the Four Seas is the descendant of these four Dragon Clan elders at the level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
At this time, in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, these four dragon clan elders at the level of Da Luo Jin Immortal were divided into two factions at this moment.
The two elders of the East China Sea Dragon Palace and the South China Sea Dragon Palace thought that they should form an alliance with the Wu Clan, because the Wu Clan only focused on the earth and did not care about the hegemony of the sea. If you form an alliance with the Wu Clan, after defeating the Demon Clan, the Dragon Clan is still the overlord of the sea, and there is no need to send people under the fence. On the contrary, if you join the Demon Clan, then you need to act in the eyes of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court - how can the Dragon Clan surrender to others?
The two elders of the West Sea Dragon Palace and the North Sea Dragon Palace believed that with the heritage of the Dragon Clan, even if they joined the Demon Clan, they could continue to maintain their maritime supremacy. Moreover, no matter what, the dragon clan and the demon clan are of the same origin, but they are completely different races from the witch clan. As the so-called non-self race, their hearts will be different. If the dragon clan forms an alliance with the Wu clan, it will definitely be betrayed by the Wu clan in the end.
Both sides have their own opinions, but no one can convince anyone.
And seeing these elders arguing there, the four dragon kings of the four seas, Ao Guang, Ao Yan, Ao Qin, and Ao Shun, who also gathered in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces were quite heavy. Although they are nominally the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, they are actually just used by the Dragon Clan to fool outsiders. The actual power of the dragon clan was in the hands of the four elders of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, so they couldn't talk about this kind of discussion at all.
However, remembering what the Dragon Clan's ancestor said when he summoned the four of them a few days ago, a gloomy look flashed in the eyes of the four of them. Could it be that the dragons are really going to fall?
........................
On that day, the four of them were summoned by the ancestor of the dragon clan, and they hurried to the abyss of the East China Sea.
Within the Dragon Clan, only a very few people knew that in addition to the four Great Luo Jin Immortal-level elders, there was also an ancestor of the Dragon Clan who had also survived the Great War of the Three Clans in the Ancient Ages.
It's just that although the four of them know that there is such an ancestor in the dragon clan, they have never seen it, they only know that the ancestor is the brother of the former dragon clan patriarch Zu Long, the candle dragon, is an ancient power that stands at the top even in the era of the three clans where there are many strong people. And on that day, they met this legendary ancestor of the dragon clan for the first time.
Dressed in a gray robe, he was not as majestic as they imagined, and even the majesty on his body was not as powerful as the four elders of the Dragon Clan's Four Seas Dragon Palace, standing in front of them as if he was just an ordinary old man.
However, the bloodline guidance in the hearts of the four of them clearly told them that this was the only remaining ancestor of the dragon clan, the candle dragon.
Respectfully saluted the old man, and Ao Guang and the other four said in unison: "Ao Guang (Qin, Run, Shun) see the ancestor. ”
Raising his hand slightly to signal the four of them to get up, the gray-robed candle dragon said lightly: "You four are the current Dragon Kings of the Four Seas of the Dragon Clan, right?"
They glanced at each other suspiciously, although they didn't know that this Candle Dragon Ancestor was knowingly asking, but the four of them still replied respectfully: "Yes, Ancestor." ”
"Hmm. Nodding, the candle dragon said lightly: "In that case, what are you going to do about the two lich clans recruiting the dragon clan?"
"This ......" hesitated for a moment, and Ao Guang, the head of the four, spoke: "Back to the ancestor, this matter is very important, naturally there are four elders and the ancestor in charge, and we juniors should obey it." ”
After listening to Ao Guang's answer, Candle Dragon just glanced at him lightly: "I'll let you say it, you just say it, don't worry about anything." I just wanted to hear what a few of you juniors really think. ”
Hearing this, Ao Guang hesitated for a moment, glanced at his brothers, gritted his teeth, and replied: "Back to the ancestor, Ao Guang thinks that the dragon clan should not respond to any clan. No matter which side the dragon clan joins, it will inevitably be eaten away little by little in the future. Therefore, instead of compromise, it is better to fight to the death. ”
After speaking, Ao Guang and the four of them bowed down heavily, waiting for the verdict of the candle dragon.
And hearing Ao Guang say this, the candle dragon was silent for a long time, and then he sighed deeply: "Alas, a few old guys, but they have lived for so many years in vain, but they don't see it clearly by a junior!"
sighed, looking at the four Ao Guang people worshipping in front of him, Candle Dragon said lightly: "Since you think so, then, I can also rest assured that the dragon clan will be handed over to you." ”
Hearing this, a wave of joy and confusion at being recognized surged into the hearts of the four of them at the same time, and Ao Guang couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Ancestor say this? With the Ancestor and the four elders here, how can the four of us brothers be in charge of the Dragon Clan?"
Glancing at Ao Guang lightly, Candle Dragon said lightly: "Also, your vision is still too low, and you can't see anything deeper." Let me tell you about it. ”
"In the first battle of ancient times, the three clans withdrew from the flood wilderness, which is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. However, after the battle of the three clans, the Phoenix clan and the Qilin clan did completely withdraw from the stage of the flood wilderness, but the dragon clan survived for various reasons, and I and several other remnants of the previous era still occupied the position of the overlord of the four seas. Therefore, this lich incident is actually another catastrophe against the dragons. No matter what choice the dragon clan makes, from now on, I am afraid that it will decline. And the remnants of our last era must fall in this calamity. This is the general trend. ”
Looking at the frightened and inexplicable appearance of Ao Guang and the others, Candle Dragon said lightly: "You don't need to be like this. I summoned you and others this time to arrange a way back for the dragons. ”
"The foundation of the dragon clan lies in the dragon gate, and if the dragon gate is not lost, the dragon clan will eventually have a chance to rise. However, the operation of the Dragon Gate requires the Ancestral Dragon Ball. These days, I've been replacing the role of the Ancestral Dragon Balls with my own Dragon Balls, and I guess I'll be successful in a few days. At that time, without the Ancestral Dragon Ball, the Dragon Gate can still operate normally. In the future, when I wait, I will take the Ancestral Dragon Ball and seek the protection of a saint for the dragon clan. If my prediction is correct, the age of the saints is coming. ”
