Chapter 391: Zi Yan's Proposal

Regarding Zi Yan's decision, no one opposed it. Zhu Xun's strength indeed qualified him to assume the position of Grand Elder.

Zhu Xun himself did not refuse. He returned because he happened to intercept a message from Zhu Li, stating that the Dragon Emperor had appeared. Now that he confirmed Zhu Li's words were true, it was natural for him to stay in the tribe.

"Elder Zhu Xun, many powerful individuals have left the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe in the past. Do you know any news about the other predecessors?" Zi Yan asked Zhu Xun after announcing the news. With the current situation of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, the more powerful individuals there were, the better.

"The others?" Zhu Xun stroked his beard and pondered carefully for a moment before speaking slowly.

"When we left the tribe, we didn't gather together. However, several decades ago, I had a chance encounter with Zhu Zhen in the void. His strength was equal to mine, and he should still be alive. I can try to contact him."

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Elder Zhu Xun." A faint smile appeared on Zi Yan's calm face. Although there weren't many powerful predecessors, having an additional eight-star Dou Saint was still advantageous.

More than just advantageous, there were only a few eight-star Dou Saints in the entire Dou Qi continent.

Zhu Li was also overjoyed. With the help of these tribe members, it wouldn't be long before the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe would be unified.

Of course, amidst his happiness, Zhu Li didn't forget about other matters.

"Dragon Emperor, the sinful dragons from the Three Islands who invaded a few days ago have already been captured and imprisoned in the Dragon Abyss. The subsequent handling requires your decision."

'The dragons from the Three Islands?' Zi Yan furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

She wanted to say to kill them all, but since the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe had been divided until now, she aimed to unify the tribe in the future. These dragons represented potential forces, and besides, they were just ordinary tribe members. Excessive bloodshed wouldn't be beneficial.

Having made a decision in her heart, Zi Yan said calmly, "Recruit the three dragon armies. Those who are obstinate and unyielding shall be executed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

...

A blurry consciousness drifted within the purple-golden light. Numerous icy-cool auras seeped out of the light, merging with the conscious...

This assimilation continued for a long time until the purple-golden light finally dimmed and the icy aura faded away, disappearing completely.

As the scattered light dissipated, the blurry consciousness emitted a faint coolness, and it began to awaken...

...

In a spacious room, sunlight poured in from outside, casting beams of light on the floor through the windows.

On the bed in the room, a figure lay quietly. At a certain moment, the tightly closed eyes of the figure trembled before slowly opening.

As the eyes fluttered open, the piercing sunlight made Xiao Ming furrow his brow. He shook his head as memories flooded his mind, causing a slight headache.

'Where am I...'

Sitting up from the bed, Xiao Ming looked around with a bewildered gaze. He remembered that he should have been helping Zi Yan refine the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer. Then... did Zi Yan kiss him after she woke up?

'Huh~ Zi Yan kissed me, and then I fainted. It's really...'

Thinking of Zi Yan, Xiao Ming couldn't help but smile wryly. He felt that his body had undergone some changes, and his cultivation had advanced to the seven-star Dou Venerate. Obviously, in that kiss, Zi Yan had transmitted a considerable amount of energy to him.

Creak...

Suddenly, the tightly closed door was pushed open, and two figures entered briskly. Seeing Xiao Ming awake on the bed, they were overjoyed and exclaimed, "Little Friend Xiao Ming, you've finally awakened."

"Elder Zhu Li." Seeing the elderly man who entered and the person behind him, Hei Qing, Xiao Ming quickly stood up and greeted them with clasped fists and a smile.

"Hehe, Xiao Ming, there's no need to be so formal. You have done a great favor for our Ancient Void Dragon Tribe. We can't accept such formalities." Elder Zhu Li waved his hand and smiled.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled slightly and asked, "Where is Zi Yan?"

"She's currently with Medusa, who came with you. I'll take you to them," Hei Qing said.

"Thank you, then."

...

Hei Qing led Xiao Ming to a room and then took his leave.

Xiao Ming listened to the voices coming from inside the room and without hesitation, pushed the door open and entered.

The room was arranged similarly to Xiao Ming's own room. As soon as he entered, he saw Zi Yan and Medusa, both wearing radiant smiles on their faces.

The sudden entrance startled the two women, but when they saw that it was Xiao Ming, a trace of delight flickered in their eyes.

However, Medusa's eyes still held a hint of annoyance, while Zi Yan walked directly towards Xiao Ming and linked her arm with his.

"Xiao Ming, you're awake!"

"Mhmm."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, gazing at the current Zi Yan. She wore an exquisite long gown in purple and gold, with a faint smile on her face. Within her purple and golden eyes, there was a light of wisdom that was different from before.

He couldn't help but feel emotional. This version of Zi Yan had not only grown physically but had also matured mentally. What remained unchanged was her attitude towards them.

"Have you successfully absorbed the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?" Xiao Ming smiled and gently patted Zi Yan's head, as he used to, to confirm that the sensation remained unchanged.

"The energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is immense. I haven't fully absorbed it yet. If it weren't for waiting for you to wake up, I would have already gone into seclusion," Zi Yan replied, shaking her head, her purple high ponytail swaying gently.

"The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is indeed extraordinary. How far has your strength progressed?" Xiao Ming was curious.

"I am currently in the two-star Dou Saint stage. After fully absorbing the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, I should be able to advance another one or two stars," Zi Yan explained.

"Hehe!" Xiao Ming chuckled. Zi Yan was now a Dragon Emperor and a true Dou Saint powerhouse, much stronger than himself. No wonder the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe placed such importance on the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"That's reassuring to hear. If that's the case, I can trust that you're safe and well in the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe," Xiao Ming replied, a smile forming on his lips.

Zi Yan frowned slightly and pulled Xiao Ming's arm to her bosom, causing him to feel his arm sinking into a warm and comforting embrace.

"Xiao Ming, I didn't wait for you here and refrain from entering seclusion just to tell you this... Please consider staying in the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe. I can provide you with abundant resources for alchemy and cultivation."

As Xiao Ming turned his head and looked into Zi Yan's furrowed brows, he saw an expression resembling a protective lioness guarding her mate. His heart melted as he walked with her and took a seat next to Medusa.

"Be calm and reflective. I can't stay on Dragon Island forever. I also need to seek opportunities to break through to the Dou Saint realm. Even within the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, there's no guaranteed chance for anyone to reach that realm."

"In addition, as one of the Eight Great Elders of the Pill Tower, I have responsibilities to fulfill, and Xian'er is waiting for my return."

Zi Yan fell silent. A few days ago, she had mentioned the idea of staying in the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe to Medusa, but it was met with refusal. Now, Xiao Ming was refusing as well.

However, Xiao Ming's words made sense. Being constantly tied to the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe imposed too many restrictions.

Moreover, in the time they had spent together, except for the few years Xiao Ming spent obediently at the Jia Nan Academy when he was young, he was always running around, seeking various opportunities...
