Chapter 2696 - 2695: The Truth Revealed

The object that flew out was a delicate jade pendant, carved with a lifelike flying dragon.

"Dragon Soul Jade?"

Long Shi Hun pinched the jade pendant between two fingers and took a glance; his old face suddenly changed dramatically, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.

"It’s actually the Dragon Soul Jade!" Long Shiyun and Long Shitian also cried out, their old faces shaking with shock.

"Dragon Soul Jade?" Seeing the three ancestors’ shocked expressions, Feng Wuchen was very curious.

"What is that?" Long Xiaoyang was bewildered; no one else had seen this exquisite jade pendant, and curious eyes rested upon the Dragon Soul Jade.

Long Shi Hun looked at Long Xiaofeng with astonishment and asked excitedly, "Long Xiaofeng, where did you get the Dragon Soul Jade? Who gave it to you? Where is the other half?"

Long Xiaofeng smiled faintly and said, "It seems the three grandfathers indeed know of the Dragon Soul Jade’s existence."

"Grandfather, do you know about the Xuanlong Guard?" Long Emperor asked with a smile.

"Xuanlong Guard!" The faces of Long Shi Hun and the other two elders changed again, further shocked and incredulous.

"Xuanlong Guard?" Long Xiaoyang and the others were puzzled, never having heard of it.

Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, thinking, "The Dragon God Clan seems not so simple. Could the people backing Long Xiaofeng be related to the Dragon God Clan? Otherwise, how would they know so many things?"

"Great Ancestor, what is the Xuanlong Guard?" Long Xiaoyang couldn’t help asking.

Long Shi Hun’s old face was full of shock as he said, "Guardian God of the Dragon God Clan!"

"What? Guardian God of the Dragon God Clan?" The crowd with Long Xiaoyang was instantly shaken, their hearts stirred by a monstrous wave.

The Dragon God Clan actually has a Guardian God!

"It’s indeed so." Feng Wuchen was also extremely shocked in his heart, thinking, "The previously disappeared ones from the Great Ancestor seem to have been in what’s called the real Holy Realm."

Long Shitian anxiously asked, "Long Emperor, does the Xuanlong Guard truly exist?"

Long Emperor laughed and said, "It certainly exists. Otherwise, in the past, when powerful entities wanted to deal with our Dragon God Clan, why did they suddenly lose momentum and vanish without a trace? It’s all thanks to the Xuanlong Guard’s secret assistance."

"Grandfather, Father and the rest are still alive, Ling’er is also still alive." Long Xiaofeng said with a light smile.

"What? They’re still alive?"

"How... how is this possible?"

"Ling’er died so tragically; how could she still be alive?"

Long Xiaofeng’s words caused everyone including Long Shi Hun to tremble, while Long Xiaoyang and the others were stunned.

"Ling’er..." Tears wetted the old eyes of the three ancestors, Long Shi Hun, Long Shiyun, and Long Shitian.

"Are you saying it’s true? Ling’er and the others are all still alive?" Long Shiyun asked in disbelief; after all, it had been a hundred thousand years.

Long Xiaofeng smiled faintly and said, "Eighteen people are still alive in the North Domain Hell Realm."

"Hell Realm?" Long Shiyun frowned deeply, saying seriously, "Isn’t that the restricted area of the Holy Realm? No one has ever dared tread into the Hell Realm."

"The more dangerous a place, the safer it is." Long Xiaofeng said.

"What exactly happened back then? Why are the dead all still alive?" Feng Wuchen couldn’t help but ask.

Long Shi Hun also pursued the question: "What’s going on?"

Long Xiaofeng suddenly furrowed his brows slightly, as if sensing something, and whispered, "Grandfather, this is not the place to talk, better to discuss once we’re back at the Dragon God Holy Temple."

Long Shitian was just about to say something when Feng Wuchen hurriedly whispered, "Someone’s coming, hiding in the shadows. Let’s head back first."

"Report to the Great Ancestor, all the Demon Clan people in the Demon Domain have been completely annihilated. The God Shadow Guard has already gone to pursue the fleeing Demon Clan members!" Kui Ying reported respectfully.

"Let’s go! Back to the Dragon God Holy Temple!" Long Shi Hun shouted.

"Zoom, zoom, zoom!"

The Dragon God Holy Temple’s powerhouses quickly flashed away, disappearing in an instant.

"End the battlefield cleanup and return to the Dragon God Holy Temple immediately!" Over the palace in the Demon Domain, God Shadow ordered, then immediately vanished.

After the Dragon God Holy Temple’s experts left, a figure appeared out of thin air over the Demon Domain.

The visitor was that mysterious True Immortal.

"Why did the Dragon God Clan not kill Long Xiaofeng and the other two?" The mysterious man frowned with confusion.

His gaze fell on the vast sea of corpses below; the mysterious man said coldly, "Unexpectedly, Long Shiyun and Long Shitian have also broken through into the True Immortal Realm and possess unimaginable top-tier Immortal Laws."

"Which defeated one is aiding them? Even if defeated, it’s impossible to possess such terrible top-tier Immortal Laws."

"After investigating for so long, we haven’t found out which defeated one it is, or maybe he isn’t a defeated one at all; otherwise, he’d have been discovered."

"A perfect plan, all ruined by that brat Feng Wuchen." The more the mysterious man thought about it, the angrier he got. His fists clenched tightly, eyes squinted into a line, filled with ruthless killing intent.

"Zoom!"

As soon as the mysterious man finished speaking, another figure suddenly appeared, a middle-aged man with a cold demeanor.

"Respectful greetings, Master." The mysterious man immediately knelt respectfully.

"Do not meddle in the matters of the Holy Realm for now. This Feng Wuchen is indeed not simple; don’t provoke him yet." The middle-aged man said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Master!" The mysterious man replied respectfully, feeling unwilling in his heart but not daring to oppose.

"The Dragon God Totem severely wounded the Xuanlong Guard, first find that old thing; the Dragon Soul Jade must be found quickly." The middle-aged man said coldly, then vanished into thin air.

"Farewell, Master." The mysterious man said respectfully.

...

Dragon God Holy Temple.

Long Shi Hun and other high-ranking members of the Dragon God Holy Temple appeared out of thin air in the main hall.

After the Dragon God Holy Temple’s forces sat down, all major powers had returned home.

"Long Xiaofeng, explain clearly what’s going on." Long Shi Hun asked urgently.

Long Xiaofeng said seriously, "Grandfather, the three of us never betrayed the Dragon God Clan. In that battle, our sudden betrayal was at the behest of the Xuanlong Guard. If the Dragon God Clan is not annihilated, the powerful ones will never let it go, which would result in an endless feud detrimental to our Dragon God Clan."

"The Xuanlong Guard’s behest?" The three ancestors of Long Shi Hun were utterly shocked.

"You never betrayed the Dragon God Clan?" Long Xiaoyang and Long Jianfeng opened their eyes wide.

"Of course not." Long Xiaofeng continued, "The deaths of Father and Ling’er you witnessed were all illusory, a powerful Immortal Law that even deceived you, how else could it deceive the powerful ones?"

"In that battle, the Xuanlong Guard was continuously watched by the potent beings and couldn’t save our entire clan, only a portion could be saved. The demise of the Dragon God Clan was to prevent an endless feud, granting the Dragon God Clan a chance to see daylight again."

"Had we not acted decisively, the consequences would be unimaginable; the powerful beings would personally intervene, and by then none of us could survive."

"Bearing the traitor’s stigma for a hundred thousand years just to trade for the Dragon God Clan’s return to daylight, truly admirable." Feng Wuchen praised.

"Otherwise, how could you awaken the Dragon God Clan’s origin power?" Long Emperor said with a smile.

"The grievance between the Dragon God Clan and the Demon Clan, why did the powerful ones intervene? Why do they want to eliminate the Dragon God Clan?" Feng Wuchen asked puzzled.
