Chapter 135: Zi Yan: I Will Go with You

Time calculation showed that the day of the next collision with the other three great dragon islands in the void was fast approaching.

Upon hearing this, Lin An and the others were also making preparations. To be honest, even Lin An felt a certain amount of pressure now, as he had no idea whether there were any experts at the Dou Sheng level among the other three great dragon islands.

Ten days later, accompanied by a sudden explosive shout, the moment Lin An and the others had been waiting for finally arrived.

An angry bellow, sounding like rolling thunder, suddenly resounded through the boundless, empty space.

"Xia Ao, how bold of you to dare barge into our Eastern Dragon Island!"

Hearing this furious roar, Zhu Li's expression instantly turned gloomy. He slowly raised his head, fixing his gaze upon the external void.

"What's bound to come will eventually come."

Within the pitch-black, silent void, streaks of flowing light suddenly emerged. A moment later, the rays of light gradually came to a halt outside the Ancient Dragon Island, fading away to reveal a group of figures radiating formidable auras.

Most of these individuals wore dark golden armor adorned with dragon-shaped patterns. Faintly, the dragon bodies seemed to swim as if they were living creatures, exuding vast and mighty dragon might. Aside from those clad in dark golden armor, there were also several shirtless figures. These individuals possessed exceptionally robust physiques, giving off an intense visual impact of sheer physical power.

"They are people from the Western Dragon Island and the Southern Dragon Island!"

Upon catching sight of these figures, furious exclamations immediately erupted from within the Eastern Dragon Island.

"Xia Ao, you actually dare lead people to break into our Eastern Dragon Island. Quite impressive!"

High up in the sky, space twisted and figures emerged. The leading elder was none other to Qi You, an elder of the Eastern Dragon Island. At this moment, his usually stern and humorless face looked extremely grave, faintly exuding a natural majesty that commanded respect without anger.

"Haha, old man Qi You, don't direct your anger at me. I am merely acting on orders to invite the adult possessing the royal bloodline to visit the Western Dragon Island."

Outside the void, a burly man wearing dark golden armor and sporting rather thick eyebrows took two slow steps forward. As his steps landed, the very void seemed to tremble in response. He glanced at Qi You within the protective barrier and laughed loudly.

"I am afraid the Western Dragon King simply wants to place the royal bloodline under house arrest on the Western Dragon Island, isn't that so? Hmph! He is merely from a collateral branch of the royal bloodline, yet now he dares to style himself as a Dragon King. Aren't you afraid of losing your own dignity?" Qi You sneered coldly.

He was not surprised in the slightest that the other three great dragon islands had obtained news about Zi Yan. After all, the moment Zi Yan arrived in the Central Plains, they had already sensed her presence. Therefore, all this time was more than enough for the people of the other three dragon islands to perceive the powerful royal bloodline she possessed.

Having remained absent from the Eastern Dragon Island for such a long time, the other three islands were undoubtedly plotting in secret.

The burly man known as Xia Ao said indifferently, "The Ancient Dragon tribe is now divided into four. No matter what, Lord Western Dragon King also possesses the royal bloodline, and his appeal is far greater than that possessed by your ordinary bloodlines. Speaking of which, your Eastern Dragon Island is the one that truly should not exist. Among the four islands, you are the only one lacking a leader with the royal bloodline. Such an existence will never be recognized!"

"Whether we are recognized or not is not up to the other three so-called Dragon Kings to judge. In the Void Ancient Dragon tribe, there are no Eastern, Western, Southern, or Northern Dragon Kings. There is only the former Dragon Emperor. None of the rest possess even the slightest qualification to enforce tribal rules." Qi You said dismissively.

"Hehe, I can't be bothered to waste breath talking nonsense with an old man like you either. I have come here on orders today, so I must trouble you to hand over the adult with the royal bloodline. Otherwise, this matter will probably not be resolved easily." Xia Ao curled his lips and said.

"Just by you?"

Qi You's expression turned slightly cold. With a flick of his palm, a vast and terrifying energy rapidly condensed.

"Heh, Qi You, when it comes to combat strength, your Eastern Dragon Island is the weakest among the four islands. If the Dragon Armor Army of my Western Dragon Island were to launch a full-scale invasion, your Eastern Dragon Island wouldn't be able to hold out for long." Seeing Qi You preparing to make a move, Xia Ao also waved his hand. The figures clad in dark golden dragon armor behind him slowly stepped forward, their formidable pressures merging together and rolling toward the dragon island.

"The Dragon Armor Army of the Western Dragon Island, the Barbaric Dragon Army of the Southern Dragon Island..." Elite warriors from both islands had actually been dispatched, but I wonder which person is leading this Barbaric Dragon Army?"

"Haha... As expected of Elder Zhu Li. Even when this old man stayed off to the side, I was still discovered by you."

Just as Elder Zhu Li's voice faded, that pitch-black void slowly twisted. Immediately, an elder wearing crude leather garments with pale white skin materialized out of thin air, smiling as he addressed Elder Zhu Li inside the dragon island.

"So it is Elder Man Yan."

Elder Zhu Li glanced sideways at the old man, his voice remaining calm without much fluctuation as he spoke indifferently.

"Elder Zhu Li, hand the person over. We are also acting on orders. The Void Ancient Dragon tribe has already become like this; wanting to unify it once again is extremely difficult. The three Dragon Kings will never allow such a thing to happen." Looking at Zhu Li, Man Yan sighed deeply before speaking in a low voice.

"Hand them over my ass! Do you really take our Eastern Dragon Island for easy pushovers? If not for the First Elder and Second Elder being in secluded closed-door cultivation, how would you three islands ever dare to come to our Eastern Dragon Island and act so arrogantly?" A figure fiercely flashed up into the sky, showing no fear toward the pressure emanating from the numerous experts of the Western Dragon Island, and shouted loudly.

"Black Qing, you still have that same punch-me-in-the-face stinky temper." Xia Ao glanced at Black Qing, then shifted his gaze to Man Yan and said, "We don't have time to waste. Let's make a move..."

As his words fell, the dark golden dragon armor on Xia Ao's body suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light. A towering, boundless aura swept out from his body like a storm, and faint, low dragon roars echoed from within that golden light.

"Dragon Armor Army, move out! Bring back that adult possessing the royal bloodline!"

Xia Ao waved his hand fiercely, and the numerous armored figures behind him let out a unison shout of stern command. Fierce auras surged forth, and they transformed into streaks of flowing light, charging violently toward the interior of the Ancient Dragon Island.

"Sigh... Let's attack."

Seeing this, Man Yan also let out a sigh and spoke.

Hearing his command, those shirtless figures heavily nodded. Clenching their fists, their arms rapidly rippled, and in the blink of an eye, both arms transformed into dragon claws covered in light purple scales. Their figures flickered as they charged into the Ancient Dragon Island.

"Stop, I will go with you!"

Right at that moment, a voice filled with supreme majesty resounded across the sky, and Zi Yan's figure instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This is..."

Feeling the terrifying pressure released by Zi Yan, Man Yan even began to harbor doubts in his heart as to whether the bloodline flowing through Zi Yan's veins was truly that of the royal family. Even the former Dragon Emperor probably could not compare to Zi Yan as she was now.

At this moment, he finally understood why Black Qing, Qi You, and Zhu Li were willing to remain unfailingly loyal to her, even going so far as to risk going to war with the other three great dragon islands on her account—something that had virtually never happened before.

Most of the time, the Eastern Dragon Island chose to avoid conflict and refrain from fighting unless pushed to absolute desperation.

Part of the reason was that the current Eastern Dragon Island was indeed the weakest existence among the four great dragon islands, and another reason was that they had always been searching for a royal bloodline capable of uniting the entire Void Ancient Dragon tribe.

And now, they had finally waited for the return of a royal who could lead the Void Ancient Dragon tribe.
