Chapter 437: Reopening the Portal to Another Dimension

A storm of spiritual energy grew out of the demonic dragon forefather’s hands. The silver dragon elder transformed the heaven-transcending mirror into a great shield, which he held before him.

Li Mo hugged Yun Ruoyan tightly, protecting her from any fallout from the duel. If they hadn’t blocked the cave entrance, Li Mo would already have run off with her as the demonic spirit did.

The demonic dragon forefather pushed the formation in his hands toward the silver dragon elder, shooting out a terrifying beam of spiritual energy right into the heart of the heaven-transcending mirror.

The surface of the mirror cracked, but it managed to reflect part of the attack. As the energy shot back toward the demonic dragon forefather, the formation in his hands trembled, and the pillar of light vanished.

“I won’t fight you here and now, demonic dragon! Come find me on the Jiyuan continent if you dare.” The silver dragon elder found his chance to escape. He transformed into a beam of light, dashed into the heaven-transcending mirror, and then the mirror itself turned into light and sped out the cave.

“Silver dragon, get back here!” the demonic dragon forefather called out. He tried to give chase, but the Feilai Blade didn’t respond to his command. Only then did he remember about Yun Ruoyan and Li Mo, still within the cave.

Atop the Feilai Blade, the demonic dragon forefather flew to Yun Ruoyan’s side, and Li Mo helped her up.

“Little fellow,” the demonic dragon forefather called out.

“You should call her Mistress!” Qiuqiu interrupted.

“Little chick, you didn’t know who I was in the past, or I wouldn’t have permitted your atrocious behavior. You dare behave so rudely to me even now?!” the demonic dragon forefather replied.

Long periods of slumber had caused the Feilai spirit to have forgotten his own identity. He had only awakened when Yun Ruoyan found the blade in a near-frozen pond and became its master, and, as the spirit of the blade, the demonic dragon forefather should indeed have addressed Yun Ruoyan as Mistress.

But for so hallowed a figure to call a little girl his mistress...

“No matter who you are, my mistress is your mistress. This is an undeniable truth!” Qiuqiu emphasized.

The demonic dragon forefather’s face turned sullen.

Yun Ruoyan wasn’t able to overhear the conversation between Qiuqiu and the demonic dragon forefather, so she became even more wary when she saw his frown. Li Mo whispered into her ear, “Qiuqiu’s currently in negotiations with the demonic dragon elder. Let’s wait and see what happens.”

“Mistress, control the Feilai Blade,” Qiuqiu chirped mentally.

Following Qiuqiu’s request, Yun Ruoyan did so. Even as a fourth-rank blademaster, Yun Ruoyan had good control over the Feilai Blade. Now that she was a ninth-rank blademaster, controlling its movement was far easier. All of a sudden, the Feilai Blade started to circle the mountain cave, and the demonic dragon forefather, tied to the blade, was likewise whirled around in circles.

“Stop, stop!” he shouted. “I said, stop!”

Yun Ruoyan finally directed the blade to halt, and the demonic dragon spirit’s form stabilized. He turned to Yun Ruoyan with an enraged expression on his face.

“Mistress, there’s no need to fear him!” Qiuqiu shouted. “He might have been a powerful cultivator once, but now he’s just a spirit. He can’t leave the Feilai Blade, and the Feilai Blade has recognized you as its mistress, so we’re both your subordinates now!”

“Qiuqiu, if the demonic dragon forefather doesn’t want to recognize me as mistress, I’m sure it would be easy for him to kill me and make the Feilai Blade ownerless once more.”

The demonic dragon descendant snorted. “Little chick, have you been sealed away for so long that your brain’s rusting?”

“What? You’re the one whose brain is rusting!” Qiuqiu cried out. It and the blade spirit had enjoyed quarrelling with each other since the first time they had met, and the revelation of the blade spirit’s true identity hadn’t changed anything.

Yun Ruoyan laughed. “Elder, there’s no need to lower yourself to argue with Qiuqiu.”

“Indeed!” The demonic dragon forefather stroked his whiskers and murmured appreciatively, “Your bloodline’s impressively pure, even after four millennia of history.”

The moment he regained his memories, he realized Yun Ruoyan’s true identity and understood what it meant for the future of the demonic dragon clan. That he had slumbered for over a millennium, only to be woken by a little girl who possessed one of the purest demonic dragon bloodlines he had seen to date—could the demonic dragon clan be revived once more?

His gaze suddenly turned ardent, causing Li Mo to feel a sense of unease.

“Elder, may I ask about your intentions for the future?” Li Mo stepped forward and shielded Yun Ruoyan behind him.

The demonic dragon forefather looked at Li Mo with some amount of displeasure. “Lad from the silver dragon clan... no, lad with the silver dragon bloodline.”

Yun Ruoyan could sense the murderous intent in the demonic dragon forefather’s tone. The demonic dragons and silver dragons had never gotten along, and with recent events brought to light, the demonic dragon forefather now harbored deep hatred and enmity toward the silver dragons.

“Elder, he’s not a member of the silver dragon clan,” Yun Ruoyan hurriedly stated. “Just like me, he possesses a fraction of the silver dragon bloodline, and we’re married.”

“He’s your husband?!” the demonic dragon forefather exclaimed. To merge the silver and demonic dragons bloodline was unthinkable! He peered more closely at Yun Ruoyan and sensed an unusual aura from her. As his eyes focused on her abdomen, his shock only grew. They already had a child!

“The silver dragon clan killed my father and took my mother away, so not only will I not be a threat to the demonic dragons, I’m even willing to help you fight against them,” Li Mo stated.

When the demonic dragon forefather pursed his mouth, Yun Ruoyan asked, “Elder, if you’d like, I’m happy to dissolve the contract between myself and the Feilai Blade to grant you your freedom.”

The demonic dragon forefather shook his head. “I need to return to the Chenyuan continent with you. The war a millennium ago occurred there, and although the demonic dragons have died, their souls still live on. I need to find my clan. Since you’re a descendant of the demonic dragons, you surely know where they are.”

Yun Ruoyan didn’t want to inform the demonic dragon forefather about the whereabouts of the demonic dragon grotto. She was worried that he would try to use her as a pawn to revive his kin; even in the past, Yun Ruoyan had had no intention of sacrificing herself. Now that she had Li Mo and was with child, she was even more unwilling to do so.

If the demonic dragon forefather forced her to act, then she would rebel with all her might.

What Yun Ruoyan didn’t expect was that the demonic dragon forefather had read her thoughts and discovered the location of the demonic dragon grotto from them.

Before she could be shocked, he continued, “In the past, I would surely have used you as a sacrificial pawn to guarantee my clan’s continued wellbeing, but it’s no longer necessary.”

“What do you mean?” Yun Ruoyan and Li Mo exclaimed together.

“There’s no need for a descendant of the demonic dragon bloodline to revive my clan any longer. Our clan has an ancient formation that can resurrect a demonic dragon from its soul. This procedure requires a particularly pure bloodline, one like this girl here. However, her blood is limited, and the number of dragons she can revive is likewise limited. Instead, I’ve found an excellent substitute that will serve all my needs!”

The demonic dragon forefather grew more and more excited, as though his plan was almost about to come to fruition already. Yun Ruoyan and Li Mo could guess what this substitute was: holy water.

“Yes, as long as we can obtain the silver dragons’ holy water, the resurrection of my clan will be nigh!”

The demonic dragon forefather continued to attach itself to the Feilai Blade as its blade spirit. Yun Ruoyan kept the Feilai Blade in her silver bracelet, then went to meet up with Feng Yicheng with Li Mo.

Everyone was exhilarated to know that Pi Yan and Pi Batian had been killed in the fight, especially Madam Hong and A Fei. Knowing that their revenge had been accomplished, Madam Hong felt far less guilt toward her sisters than before, and she finally smiled for the first time after her rescue.

Without Pi Yan and Pi Batian, the remaining members of the Pi coalition quickly disbanded. Those families that had allied with the Pis surrendered after a few momentous defeats, and the families that had remained neutral, both large and small, sequentially announced that they would submit to the rule of the Feng family.

Within half a year, the entire Mingyuan continent had been taken over by the Feng family. Feng Yicheng was officially instated as the lord of the Feng family, and soon married Madam Hong.

The remaining time before the re-opening of the portal to the Chenyuan continent passed by in a flash. The day the portal was slated to re-open, Feng Yicheng, Madam Hong, Pi Yang, and Lie Yun, whom Pi Yang had married, gathered to send Yun Ruoyan and her group off.

“Sister Ruoyan, I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again,” Madam Hong murmured, her eyes tearing up. If not for Yun Ruoyan’s repeated attempts to rescue her, she would have perished in the hands of the Pis.
