Chapter 5171 Parting Ways
Long Chen’s heart shook when he heard of the Dragon Domain. From Bai Yingxue, he knew that this was the place where the dragon race gathered.
Due to the Brahma Pill Valley’s instigation, the Dragon Domain fell into disorder. The various branches of the dragon race were like scattered grains of sand, lacking unity.
Tracing the cause back to the root, it was because there was still no word from the sovereign dragon race. This resulted in the Dragon Domain being leaderless. Without the sovereign dragon race to control them, these powerful dragon races refused to submit to each other, unable to even agree on a temporary leader.
After all, the sovereign dragon race held the supreme position in the dragon race, and no other dragon race could replace them. In the Dragon Domain, anyone else who dared to claim that they could unify the dragon race would be attacked from all sides.
The dragon race would only submit to the authority of the sovereign dragons. Without them, all the dragon race experts couldn’t get along, and even if they didn’t engage in direct conflict, they remained distant and uncooperative toward each other.
The dragon race's pride prevented them from accepting anyone else's leadership, and they rejected any suggestions that sounded even slightly like an order. This was a matter of great concern for the white dragon race.
Then there was Long Chen, who possessed the blood of the sovereign dragons. Although he was human and couldn’t immediately convince all the dragon races, he was a peerless heavenly genius capable of slaying a half-step Human Emperor.
Despite their pride, the dragon race understood power. With Long Chen’s potential, he could definitely influence the junior generation of the Dragon Domain. After all, they were the future of the Dragon Domain, and as long as he could win over their hearts, the dragon race would definitely be unified.
Furthermore, Bai Yingxuan recognized Long Chen’s immense charisma. She believed that with enough time, he could influence the entire Dragon Domain. The white dragon race had no selfish motives behind it; they had no ambition to lead. Their only hope was for the dragon race to be unified once more and no longer be torn apart by internal strife and external manipulations. They couldn’t afford to keep fighting amongst themselves.
At this moment, the white dragon race’s disciples looked at Long Chen hopefully, and Long Chen was truly tempted.
After all, the mysterious dragon expert, who could essentially be considered his master, was also from the dragon race, so Long Chen felt a sense of responsibility and duty toward the dragon race. However, considering the chaotic state within the dragon race, he knew that his temper could easily turn things into a storm of blood.
In particular, Long Chen had recently slaughtered disciples of the Netherdragon race and other dragon race members who were collaborating with the Brahma Pill Valley. This enmity was now set. Hence, the moment he set foot in the Dragon Domain, swords would be drawn.
Thinking about this, Long Chen felt a headache coming on. He shook his head and decided, “For now, I’m not going to the Dragon Domain.”
The white dragon race’s disciples were instantly disappointed, especially Bai Yingxue. She turned away and wiped away her tears, not entirely sure why she felt so aggrieved.
On the other hand, Bai Yingxuan was prepared for this. She quickly smiled to ease the situation and said, “That’s fine. In the future, we’ll come to pay our respects to the High Firmament Academy. We’ll definitely meet again.”
“I said that I wouldn’t go for now, not that I wouldn’t go in the future,” reassured Long Chen.
“Really?” Bai Yingxue was delighted and immediately turned around. But when she realized she still had tearstains, she hastily turned back, feeling bashful.
“Really?” Bai Yingxuan and the others all looked at Long Chen, pleasantly surprised.
“Really.” Long Chen nodded. “However, it’s not convenient for me to go right at this moment. After all, I’ve killed too many disciples of the dragon race just now...”
“They brought that onto themselves. It can’t be blamed on you!” said Bai Yingxuan immediately.
Bai Yingxue had told Bai Yingxuan a simple explanation of what had happened in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, and neither of them felt the slightest pity for those dragon experts. When the battle first started, those assholes also raised their blades against them.
Long Chen said, “Whether or not they brought it onto themselves, it’s not suitable for me to go now. If I go, the entire Dragon Domain will be thrown into chaos. Once the battle starts, casualties will be difficult to avoid. That is what Pill Valley wants. Furthermore, Pill Valley is already in control of several dragon races. When the time comes, they probably won’t listen to our explanation.”
Bai Yingxuan nodded, knowing that Long Chen’s concerns were well-founded. Even if they returned and tried to expose Brahma Pill Valley’s schemes, not many dragon race experts believed them.
Moreover, the dragon races that had been swayed by Pill Valley would likely turn against them, blaming them for the discord. Public opinion was a force strong enough to drown a person if enough mouths were spitting.
In terms of power, the dragon race had always been one of the top existences. They were unafraid of anyone. But when it came to intelligence and cunning, they couldn’t compete with the human race. After Long Chen pointed this out, Bai Yingxuan seemed to deflate a bit.
“This photographic jade contains important information that I’ve recorded. It includes Lu Fan’s conversation with the leader of the Earth Devils, how the white dragon race was set up to be sacrificed, and more,” Long Chen said as he handed the photographic jade to Bai Yingxuan.
“Really?” Bai Yingxuan was overjoyed. Finally, they had proof. Without it, rallying the other dragon races would have been difficult, but with this undeniable evidence, they would have a much easier time.
“Most importantly, this photographic jade contains information about the sovereign dragon race. You can watch it at your leisure,” added Long Chen.
Hearing that there was news of the sovereign dragon race, Bai Yingxue and the others were even more excited. They wanted to activate the photographic jade right now.
“Long Chen, what do you have in mind now? Do you want to come with me? I still have several treasure lands to go through. If you don’t have anything else to do, why not come dig—cough, I mean, do some archaeology with me?” offered Mo Nian.
Having lost his Human Emperor puppet, Mo Nian was thinking of getting an even stronger puppet. Having already tasted that sweet flavor, he couldn’t stop himself.
Shaking his head, Long Chen said, “I don’t have the time to waste right now. There’s a slight problem with my cultivation technique, and I’ll need to test some things. Otherwise, I’ll be in trouble in the future. I’m planning to go back to the High Firmament Academy for a while and then lead the Dragonblood Legion into the Endless Desolation. However, before entering the Endless Desolation, I will take a trip to the Dragon Domain.”
Hearing that, the white dragon race’s disciples cheered excitedly. The battle in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain had fully won them over, and they all viewed Long Chen like an idol now.
“Alright. Then we will await your arrival in the Dragon Domain,” said Bai Yingxuan excitedly.
“Then let’s part ways for now. Take care of yourselves. I look forward to our next meeting,” Long Chen replied, and then he and Mo Nian said their goodbyes to the white dragon race.
After they departed, Bai Yingxuan watched their figures disappear into the distance and sighed. “The human race has produced two unparalleled existences. I wonder when our dragon race can produce such a peerless heavenly genius.”
The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest quivered and then shot off, dragging its hole-riddled body through the air.
