The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

“Reporting to Peak Master, your disciple still has matters to discuss.”

Ji Wushuang ultimately decided to speak up about the issue.

He believed that Long Tianxing’s family power was not simple, and if he could win them over, it would be a great help to Mu Ruxue.

“Speak,” Mu Ruxue commanded, seated upon the Peak Master’s throne.

Ji Wushuang bowed slightly, not daring to meet Mu Ruxue’s eyes, and said:

“There is a disciple in the Misty Sect with silver hair and blue eyes, named Long Tianxing. Tonight, during a banquet at Fengyun Restaurant in honor of Sect Master Ye and his entourage, a man claiming to be ‘Long Jiu’—a strong Element Gathering Realm Fourth Layer practitioner—burst into the dining hall. He wanted to take Long Tianxing away and said some strange things, like…”

Ji Wushuang relayed the incident exactly as it happened, naturally including key phrases like “bloodline” and “our clan’s grand plan.”

Mu Ruxue listened to Ji Wushuang’s account, understanding the ins and outs of the situation.

“It seems I was not mistaken; Long Tianxing truly has the heritage of the Dragonfolk Clan,” Mu Ruxue said gravely after a long pause.

During Mu Ruxue’s last visit to the Misty Sect, she had noted Long Tianxing’s appearance, which she found odd. After returning to the Sect, she consulted the Scripture Pavilion and deduced Long Tianxing’s origin.

The four maids and Ji Wushuang were hearing the term “Dragonfolk Clan” for the first time and their faces were filled with astonishment.

Mu Ruxue stood up and walked to the door, looking down at Divine Wind City below, where the lights were bright, and asked, “Have you ever heard of Cave Heaven Worlds?”

“Yes,” Ji Wushuang nodded.

As the grandson of a Law Enforcement Elder and an outstanding member among all the Qi Refining Realm disciples, Ji Wushuang had not only heard of them but had also spent time cultivating in a Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World owned by the Divine Wind Sword Sect.

“Rumor has it that the Dragonfolk Clan controls the gateway to an ancient Large-Scale Cave Heaven World, which is of great significance,” revealed Mu Ruxue, sharing a startling piece of information.

Cave Heaven Worlds come in micro, minor, medium, large…

Even the mighty Divine Wind Sword Sect only possesses a medium-sized one, which covers more than a dozen square miles and includes mountains, rivers, lakes, and various creatures, along with several minor spirit veins, abundant with spiritual energy—a true cultivation paradise.

A large one would be at least a hundred square miles in size.

Moreover, it is very possible for ancient medicinal herbs to grow in an ancient Large-Scale Cave Heaven World, consuming even a bit of which could significantly increase one’s cultivation level.

Realizing he had stumbled upon a tremendous secret, Ji Wushuang found his breathing becoming more rapid.

“Does that mean if we go to the Dragonfolk Clan, we might be able to enter that ancient Large-Scale Cave Heaven World?” a maid interjected, her pretty face full of yearning.

“The Dragonfolk are a reclusive and powerful clan, and it would be difficult to locate them,” Mu Ruxue shook her head.

Then, another maid suggested, “Sword Child, we could use Long Tianxing to find the Dragonfolk and then take the opportunity to enter the Large-Scale Cave Heaven World to look for precious ancient spiritual medicine.”

“You’re being too optimistic! The Dragonfolk may be few in number, but they are deeply entrenched and not weaker than our Divine Wind Sword Sect. This approach would only offend them,” Mu Ruxue said, her expression showing her displeasure.

After being rebuked, the maid quickly lowered her head.

Mu Ruxue withdrew her gaze and added, “If it weren’t for the Dragonfolk’s mission to guard that Large-Scale Cave Heaven World and stay out of external strife, the Mystique Kingdom would certainly have a place for them. Even our Divine Wind Sword Sect may not be a match for the Dragonfolk.”

“Then, where did the Dragonfolk come from?” Ji Wushuang was curious.

“Legend has it that the oldest ancestor of the Dragonfolk was just a common man who later received Divine Dragon Blood, underwent an unimaginable transformation, and was revered as the ‘Son of the Dragon God.’ From then on, they renamed themselves the Dragonfolk Clan, also known as the Dragon Child Clan, possessing the powerful bloodline of a Dragon’s Descendant,” Mu Ruxue explained.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Wushuang asked, “Peak Master, what should we do then?”

Mu Ruxue gazed out at the profound night sky beyond the door and fell silent for a short while.

“Long Tianxing’s silver hair is without a hint of impurity, and his pair of blue eyes is immaculate, which means his bloodline is extremely pure. He will be taken back to the ancestral lands of the Dragonfolk sooner or later. We cannot stop this. We can only try to forge a good relationship with him, and maybe we will get a chance to enter that ancient Large-Scale Cave Heaven World in the future.”

A concerned maid asked, “What if someone else learns of Long Tianxing’s identity and kidnaps him, what then?”

“Whoever dares to do that would be making an enemy of the Dragonfolk and would be on a path to certain death,” Mu Ruxue’s voice was cold, “Alright, the night is deep, and I should rest.”

“We shall take our leave!”

Ji Wushuang and the four maids exited the Enforcement Hall.

Divine Wind City.

Within a large estate.

Long Jiu sat cross-legged on the grass, healing his wounds.

By now, his injuries had healed, and he looked up at the Divine Wind Mountain Range.

“The sect that holds the Dragon’s Descendant Bloodline isn’t too bad, with a very partial Sect Leader, even if he was a bit heavy-handed.”

Long Jiu rubbed his chest. If it weren’t for his own trace of Dragon’s Descendant Bloodline, giving him a robust physique, a regular practitioner in the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm would have been seriously injured by that punch, if not worse.

“However, the significance of the Dragon’s Descendant Bloodline is too great. He must be brought back.”

Long Jiu prepared to sneak into the Divine Wind Sword Sect.

Yet, as Long Jiu just rose into the air, he discovered Ye Feng lying on a banana leaf, looking over with a smile on his face.

As for Long Tianxing, he was standing right next to Ye Feng at the moment.

A thump went through Long Jiu’s heart, unable to understand how Ye Feng had found this place.

“Let’s talk,” Ye Feng said.

Tonight, neither Ye Feng nor Long Tianxing could sleep.

The two left Feihua Garden in a rare moment of accord.

Following the bloodline’s resonance, Long Tianxing led Ye Feng to the vicinity, waiting for Long Jiu to appear.

“Fine, follow me.” Long Jiu flew towards the outskirts of the city.

“Sect Leader, are you really going to go?” Long Tianxing, standing next to Ye Feng, seemed very nervous.

“It’s better to solve the problem sooner rather than later, rather than letting this person keep thinking about you. But don’t worry, with me here, you should be fine,” Ye Feng grabbed Long Tianxing and followed.

Half an incense stick later.

In a deserted valley.

Ye Feng and Long Tianxing stood side by side, looking at Long Jiu five meters away.

“Come back with me to the clan,” Long Jiu got straight to the point.

“First, tell me about my father. Assure me he’s still alive, and then I will go with you; otherwise… forget it!” Long Tianxing shook his head resolutely, his fists tightly clenched, “Also, I want to know why he was so cold-blooded as to abandon our mother and child like that!”

Toward the end, Long Tianxing’s tone was filled with much dissatisfaction and even anger!

“I knew you would ask that, but to be honest, I don’t even know who your father is. However, since there aren’t many people here, you might as well take a look for yourself,” Long Jiu said as he opened his Storage Bracelet and took out more than a hundred jade pendants of various shapes and colors, “One of these jade pendants must have belonged to your father. Have a look for yourself!”

Long Tianxing looked at these pendants, sensing a thread of familiar energy, and hurriedly took out a strangely shaped jade pendant from around his waist. It looked like a star but was broken in half, leaving only one piece.

Long Tianxing compared the jade pendant in his hand against the hundred-plus pieces that Long Jiu had, and eventually found the other half, successfully piecing together a complete star-shaped jade pendant.

“Found it!”

“I’m overjoyed,” Long Tianxing said, “My mother told me that this jade pendant was left by my father, one half was given to me, and the other half stayed with him.”

Long Jiu looked at the jade pendant, surprised, “So it’s the son of Long Yuanqing, no wonder your Dragonfolk bloodline is so pure. It’s a pity that you haven’t entered the Dragon Blood Pool to awaken yet.”

“Yes, my father is called Long Yuanqing!” Long Tianxing said excitedly.

“How did you know?” Ye Feng was taken aback.

Long Tianxing quickly explained, “My mother often mentioned ‘Yuanqing, don’t go’ and ‘Yuanqing, you’re so handsome’ in her dreams, so I think that’s my father’s name, Long Yuanqing.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng’s expression was inexplicable.

“Your father, Yuanqing, was the pride of our clan, awakening his bloodline at the age of fifteen with a supreme grade, and advanced to the first layer of the Element Gathering Realm at nineteen. At twenty, he led a war team to battle in the Cave Heaven World, heroic and invincible. Unfortunately, he never returned after setting out at the age of thirty-three…” Long Jiu sighed deeply.

“Is he dead? No, you clearly said before that he was alive, you liar!”

Long Tianxing grabbed Long Jiu’s collar in excitement, trying to lift him, but he found himself too short. Even on tiptoe, he could only grasp Long Jiu’s collar and couldn’t lift him.

“Ptui! Who said Yuanqing is dead? The war team is just trapped in the Cave Heaven World, unable to get out, urgently needing the pure Dragonfolk bloodline to open the passage so they can return,” Long Jiu glared in anger, chiding.

“So, you need Tianxing’s bloodline to open that so-called passage?” Ye Feng, having figured out the whole story, slightly furrowed his brows and said.
