The old couple looked at their kneeling descendants and nodded in approval.
"We have sothing to tell you all… and the clan…" The old man spoke.
"We are ready for anything you say," The thirty cultivators responded promptly with respect.
"A new bloodline has appeared… one that can challenge our clan… and the other two guardian clans as well." The old man stated.
"Impossible!" The man kneeling at the front said in disbelief.
"I want to deny it as well… but it is the truth. The two of us both felt it… it is a bloodline that is no weaker than… rather than that, I'm afraid it might be many tis stronger as well!" The old man explained.
Hearing this, the cultivators didn't know what to say, finding it all too shocking. For countless years, they had been proud of their clan and their holy bloodline. It was a matter of pride that made them stand at the top of the world.
But today, they heard that there was soone else that could threaten their position. They could only listen to their ancestors and follow what they had decided.
"What do we do then?" The man kneeling at the front questioned.
"The first thing is to learn more about this bloodline. We don't know who or what it belongs to. We don't even know if it is a human or a beast that has the bloodline." The Old woman answered this ti.
"It shall be done. I'll send out our mbers and also ask the others that are already out to start gathering information." The man kneeling at the front spoke.
"Rember, be careful. We do not want to provoke whoever has the bloodline without a reason either. They can be strong… very strong, such that our normal clansn might not be able to survive." The old man added.
"Of course ancestor." The man replied.
"As for finding it, begin with reports of any unique phenonon that might have appeared over the continent. We are sure that sothing like this caused a great upheaval and there are bound to be others that have noticed it.
We only felt it because of our cultivation bases and links to the temple. Since you didn't feel it, that could an that the distance should be far from our clan. But that might not be the sa for the locations that were close to the source of the bloodline." The old woman explained.
"I shall do as commanded." The man kneeling accepted.
"You are the patriarch of the Long clan, Long Yi… make sure no disgrace cos to us. The Gui and Hu clan ancestors have also felt this, no doubt. They might send their people to infiltrate the continent as well." The old man spoke.
"Don't worry, ancestor. I shall take care of it. We have already gotten rid of the last batch of spies that ca here last year." Long Yi stated.
"Mmm," the old man nodded before thinking of sothing.
"And what about that other thing… the one from a decade ago? What happened to that?" The old man asked next.
"We couldn't find much about it, ancestor. We investigated the great fire of the Dread Coil marsh and also that of the Jiao Dian city, both are definitely linked." Long Yi replied as another thought ca to his mind. "And considering our current situation… I can't help but feel if it is linked with it too. At that ti as well, we felt a faint bloodline resonance." He said with hesitance.
"I see… if they are linked, then it might save us so ti as we will have an idea of what it is. Additionally we won't have to worry about an extra factor. Still… if they are not linked and are different things, we will need to deal with it accordingly.
The one that created the disaster is to be eliminated without fail." The old man responded.
"Of course, ancestor." Long Yi agreed.
"As for the—" The old woman was about to speak sothing when suddenly her face fell.
The old man was the sa, shocking Long Yi and the rest of the cultivators that were watching them. Feeling the chaotic spirit Qi they couldn't help but speak.
"Ancestors… You—" But before Long Yi could say anything more, he felt a terrifying pressure descend.
"What… in the world…" Long Yi said in disbelief.
"What's happening, patriarch?" the Dao Treading realm cultivators asked, wondering why these three were acting strange like this.
~shua~
In response to this, the old man waved his sleeves, and from it shot out a scroll. The scroll expanded in the air and unfurled to beco a large screen. On it, several hundred of runes appeared, all looking chaotic.
"This can't be…" The old man said in an astonished tone.
The old woman looked at the information being shown on the scroll and felt terrified.
"Not one… two… two more!" She said out loud.
~ROAR~
A thunderous roar could be heard within the heads of each person here as they felt their bloodline boil. Their vision turned black as an illusory figure appeared in front of them. It was the sa serpent that was built on top of the palace.
It was the representation of their bloodline, the bloodline of the Long clan. It was the Three clawed Azure dragon!
But what they saw stunned them. The pride of their clan, the Three clawed Azure dragon, was currently afraid. It was shivering and fear could be seen in its eyes. The Long clan mbers couldn't tell why it was so at first, but then they saw sothing that shook their very souls.
A dark figure appeared in front of them, the details of which could not be seen. But what could be seen were a pair of yellow eyes with vertical pupils. The eyes were like gems, as if they were carved out of the finest of garnets.
The Three clawed Azure Dragon was currently lowering its head in front of this figure that towered over it many tis. Compared to the pair of eyes, it was like an ant trying to compare with a mountain!
