Shen Yi glanced at Zi Yan and then nodded, looking back at Zhu Kun.
"Yes, senior, the ancient Void Dragon Clan is now divided into three factions. One is a neutral faction, which is hiding behind the scenes and colluding with outside forces like the Soul Clan and secretly hunting your royal bloodline."
"The second faction is of the current ruler, the emperor. Although the dragon emperor has powerful power, he doesn't have a royal bloodline; he is fearing your or your daughter's return."
"The third faction is the opposition faction; they are against the current ruler's weak bloodline and politics, but they are loyal to the clan and waiting for the royal bloodline to return."
After speaking, Shen Yi fell silent, feeling that Zhu Kun in front of him was on the verge of exploding.
"These scoundrels, once I return, I will rip out their torsos and bloodbaththe void dragon realm and show them the consequences of their actions."
Zhu Kun spoke with a cold voice, and then he fell silent; after a while, he sighed, shaking his head, and added,
"Anyway, it's all my fault; once a dominating ancient clan has become like that."
"Father…" Zi Yan spoke softly, patting his arm. Zhu Kun nodded, took a deep breath, and patted her head. Then he glanced in the direction of Shen Yi and said,
"Shen Yi, I have a request for you. I want you to take my daughter to the central region and help her deal with all of my ancient clan trouble and help her ascend to the throne. I know you both can do it. I now declare her as the next dragon emperor after me."
While speaking, he glanced at the both of them with a trustful gaze. Zi Yan and Shen Yi were startled, and then both of them fell silent after looking at each other.
Zhu Kun then raised his hand, and three blood drops emerged from his forehead and flew toward the Shen Yi.
"I heard from Zi'er that you are interested in the bloodline of our Void Ancient Dragons; here you can have this blood essence."
Shen Yi was surprised, looking at the three blood drops in front of him; each essence drop was exuding extremely horrible suppression, and even the void around them was shaking with their weight.
He then nodded, looking at Zhu Kun, and spoke while putting away the blood drops, "Senior, I want to research and find a way to create my own top bloodline. Thank you for giving me the blood essence."
Zhu Kun nodded, looking at him, as he already sensed that Shen Yi is a pure human without any special bloodline, nor did he absorb the Zi Yan bloodline essence that she gave him before.
'Anyway, even if he absorbs them and gains special traits of our Void Ancient Dragons, it will be worth befriending such a talented person; on top of that, my baby daughter likes him.'
Just as Zhu Kun's thoughts ran, suddenly he dismissed all the thoughts rising uncontrollably in his mind.
"Senior, we will take our leave now; it's already been six months we have been staying here. Also, I have been staying away from home for almost two and a half years; I will return to my home and meet my parents."
Shen Yi then spoke solemnly, looking at him. Zi Yan also walked and appeared beside him.
Zhu Kun nodded and then waved his hand toward both of them and reminded them,
"It's alright; you can leave now. Also be careful when you visit the central continent; the environment there is more dangerous than any other continent. Especially beware of the Hun clan; kill them if you encounter one and run away if you can't kill them… These turtles are hard to deal with because of their special spiritual bloodline."
Shen Yi nodded calmly, and then he flew toward the lava above. Zi Yan glanced at her father and said, "Father, we will find a way to release you from this place."
After speaking, she turned around and flew forward, following Shen Yi inside the magma.
"Hahaha… My baby daughter is really considerate; I also hope that someday I leave this damn place."
Zhu Kun laughed and then muttered happily; after that, he closed his eyes in hope, and darkness engulfed everything.
On the other hand,
Shen Yi and Zi Yan returned beside the seal they entered from. Shen Yi then waved his hand and released a small red dragon-shaped fallen heart flame toward the magma below.
Immediately, as if it was granted amnesty, the fallen heart flame hurriedly flew inside the magma and disappeared. At the same time, the temperature of the surroundings increased slowly and gently, unlike the berserk evil fire energy from before.
"Let's go," Shen Yi spoke with a smile, looking at the flame that had already reached the deeper area of the magma. Also, he sensed another spiritual signature, but he didn't care about it.
After turning around, he walked toward the seal and passed through it, appearing on the ninth floor of the Sky Qi Flame Tower along with Zi Yan.
After a while,
Looking at Elder Su in front of him, Shen Yi told him about the refining process and the material melting, which took six months.
Then he visited the medicine pavilion and discussed the alchemy with Elder Hao of Inner Medicine Peak. He also helped him complete the prescription of the seventh-rank pill in his possession, as he promised.
…
A few days later,
Inside the Yan City of the Jia Ma Empire,
Shen House,
"Madam, the envoy Jin is here." A maidservant appeared and informed the Shen Yue standing in the open area of the back courtyard,
Suddenly a voice startled her as she was looking at the trees and flowers in the garden in front of her and had fallen into deep thoughts.
She is wearing a white dress and a blue dress; despite a few little wrinkles at the corner of her light brown eyes and clean, tidy hair with a few gray shades above her ears showing her middle age, she is still beautiful and graceful with gentleness in her gaze.
But the words of the maidservant just now furrowed her brows: "Why is this envoy Jin visiting at this time… Doesn't he know my husband is outside the city?"
