"Is that so? Thunderstorm Drill!"
Lei Yan laughed coldly, grabbing the rear handle of the thunder spear. Then, his entire body spun rapidly, turning both man and spear into a thunderstorm drill, viciously drilling into the Purple Gold Dragon Claw.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
Sparks scattered like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. Lei Yan spun wildly in mid-air, transforming into a whirlwind of thunder. Under his fierce drilling, the Purple Gold Dragon Claw couldn’t withstand the attack and began to show signs of collapsing.
"Your Ancient Dragon Bloodline doesn’t seem that impressive!"
Seeing the dragon claw collapse, Lei Yan laughed exuberantly, full of spirit.
"That statent might be a bit premature."
Ye Xuan shook his head, a Purple Gold Light Seal soon erged between his brows. In the next mont, a gigantic Light Dragon abruptly shot out from within his body. This Purple Gold Light Dragon opened its mouth, and to many’s shocked gazes, it swallowed the whirlwind of thunder, ford by Lei Yan, directly.
"Young Master Lei!"
The Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor and those from the Thunder Clan’s faces changed drastically. With Lei Yan’s might, did Ye Xuan’s Purple Gold Giant Dragon really swallow him directly?
Under the watchful eyes of all, the Purple Gold Giant Dragon rolled in the air and then opened its mouth, spitting out a figure.
The disheveled figure staggered backward, hair in disarray, precisely the Lei Yan who had been devoured by the Purple Gold Giant Dragon.
"Young Master Lei Yan!"
The Thunder Clan’s strongn hurriedly rushed up to support Lei Yan, then looked at Ye Xuan with trepidation. Lei Yan, with his high-level Sealing Emperor cultivation, an elite amongst the Thunder Clan’s younger generation, had been defeated so easily by Ye Xuan?
"Damn it!"
Lei Yan’s face was sullen, obviously having trouble accepting this outco.
"Young Master Lei, you’re not in good condition now. Forcing forward would only bring humiliation. It’s better to retreat for now. With the Thunder Clan’s power, dealing with him later would be a breeze."
A Thunder Clan strongman advised.
"Let’s do that then."
Lei Yan took a deep breath, barely suppressing the anger in his chest. For a proud Thunder Clan genius to face a setback in a small Light City was a hard pill to swallow.
"This guy is a Dragon Clan elder. The Dragon Clan’s power shouldn’t be underestimated. It’s better to avoid conflict in Light City for now. We’re only here to incorporate Light City; let’s report back and then decide."
Another Thunder Clan strongman also spoke.
Though the Thunder Clan didn’t think much of many forces in the Ancient World, the Dragon Clan was an exception. The three demon clan overlords—Dragon Clan, Kunpeng, and Sky Phoenix—are comparable to the five great clans, large and powerful forces. Other than these three, the rest are like ants.
If Ye Xuan had no backing, things would be easier. But now, with the Dragon Clan as his backing, they had to reconsider.
Hearing this, Lei Yan also nodded, then had no choice but to cup his hands at Ye Xuan, "We have offended you this ti. Thunder Clan mbers, let’s go!"
Continuing to fight Ye Xuan had no aning, and he might not even be Ye Xuan’s match, though Lei Yan was reluctant to admit this.
"Wait."
Just as Lei Yan and his group were about to leave, Ye Xuan’s calm voice suddenly ca through.
"If you sincerely wish to apologize, it seems you’ve overlooked soone, don’t you think?"
Ye Xuan was referring to Ling Qianxue.
Lei Yan’s face changed, ready to erupt, but a Thunder Clan strongman beside him pulled him back. Forcedly suppressing his displeasure, he also cupped his hands at Ling Qianxue, "I apologize for any offense earlier, please forgive us."
Ling Qianxue did not respond to this, rely glanced, and then closed her eyes once more.
"Let’s go!"
Lei Yan swung his sleeves angrily, still simring, and left quickly with his n.
"That useless fool."
Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor hurried along behind Lei Yan but inwardly cursed him. He had spent much effort to bring Lei Yan here, hoping to overhaul Light City entirely. Yet, even Lei Yan suffered a setback at Ye Xuan’s hands, leaving eventually with tails between legs.
"Are we just letting them go?"
Ling Qianxue opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Ye Xuan, and asked.
"Lei Yan is a Thunder Clan genius; killing him is inadvisable. Plus, who knows what trump cards he holds? Cornering him wouldn’t benefit us. As for Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor, he’s a minor character, easy to eliminate when the opportunity arises."
Though Ye Xuan feared not the Thunder Clan, he wished to avoid trouble. Since the Dragon Clan possessed Martial Emperor-level elders, it ant the five great clans likely did too. Despite his skyrocketing power, confronting a true Martial Emperor was uncertain.
After all, the transcendence to Emperor-level status is of utmost importance to Sealing Emperor strongn. The difference before and after this transcension is as day and night.
As for soone like Lei Yan, now is not the ti to act against him.
Ye Xuan now holds the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline; once he breaks through to Emperor, no one in the Ancient World could rival him.
"Heal well. Don’t dwell on other matters."
Ye Xuan patted Ling Qianxue’s fragrant shoulder.
Ling Qianxue nodded; if Lei Yan were a bit sharp, he wouldn’t provoke them again soon. With the Dragon Clan’s banner, even the Thunder Clan wouldn’t dare cause further trouble.
"We certainly must thank the Dragon Clan’s grace this ti."
Ye Xuan murmured to himself. He knew well that the Dragon Clan had little connection with Light City. It was the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline that they valued, bestowing him the Heavenly Dragon Order and Elder status, leaving him to act freely as long as he doesn’t overreach. By giving Ye Xuan the Heavenly Dragon Order, the Dragon Clan implicitly promised to shield him, no doubt.
"Even though I helped the Dragon Clan, I’ve gained much in return. If the chance arises, I should repay them." Ye Xuan thought clearly. Even if he didn’t repay the Dragon Clan’s favor, ignoring it wouldn’t sit well and could disrupt his mindset, which wasn’t ideal.
"Everyone, disperse."
Ye Xuan waved at the crowd; the matter was already settled, and there was no need to gather more trouble.
Upon hearing this, the still-shocked strongn of Light City snapped back to reality and began leaving the area one by one.
Yet, their inner astonishnt didn’t dissipate easily. The discovery of Ye Xuan as a Dragon Clan elder was unexpected to all. Initially, there was so worry over Light City’s lack of strong backing, but with the Dragon Clan’s support, they now had a substantial ally, not just any relation. In the Ancient World, they would henceforth carry greater confidence.
This event, initially a crisis, after the word spreads, might ironically make Light City’s fa resonate even faster throughout the Ancient World.
