Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 2037 - 518: Revealing the True Form (First - )
The scene gradually quieted down.
The Old Clan Chief looked at everyone and bowed deeply to them.
"I apologize to everyone here. My grandson, Long Zixuan, was placed under a prohibition spell decades ago and was abandoned outside. When he awoke, he had become a Little Red Snake. Over the years, he has been seeking a way to restore his true form but to no avail. Even I cannot solve this problem. I, Long Yu, dare to vouch with my lifetime reputation and character that Long Zixuan is indeed of the Dragon Clan’s purest bloodline, and he is the most qualified to be the Clan Leader!"
"Ha!"
A cold laugh jolted everyone awake. Shangguan Xiong squinted ominously at the Old Clan Chief, "Clan Leader, your words are somewhat irresponsible. We need a rightful Young Master who can lead the Dragon Clan to stability and glory, not a child of seven or eight, nor a Little Red Snake. If the Clan Leader cannot prove this to everyone, then Long Zixuan should step down, and a new Young Master should be appointed!"
"Yes! Long Zixuan should step down, appoint a new Young Master!"
"Long Zixuan step down! Appoint a new Young Master!"
Voices calling out made the Old Clan Chief’s face turn pale as snow. He looked carefully, and most of those shouting were Jin Family and Shangguan Family supporters, while other ordinary clan members joined in under their instigation.
He retreated step by step, feeling his blood surge and hands tremble uncontrollably.
Has the Dragon Clan really run out of fortune?
The shouting below grew louder and louder, and gradually, under Shangguan Xiong’s orders, some Shangguan Family supporters started moving towards the Dragon Pool.
Elder Jin, Hongye, and other Clan Leader guards had to protect the Old Clan Chief and block these people. For a while, they were so busy they couldn’t spare any effort elsewhere.
Shangguan Xiong squinted his eyes, looking at the pale-faced Old Clan Chief, a sinister smile on his face. Old man, see how you deal with this!
As the scene gradually got out of control, the supporters of the Old Clan Chief stepped forward to form a circle around the Dragon Pool, using manpower to block the crowd’s surge. But, it’s hard to fend off with two fists, especially with some opportunistic rebels secretly using Dragon Force.
Members on the Old Clan Chief’s side started to sustain minor injuries, and Hongye was cut on the arm in the crowd’s jostle. Seeing this scene of clan members fighting amongst themselves, the Old Clan Chief’s heart bled.
Shangguan Xiong sat in a chair, watching this scene as if watching a play. Suddenly, he felt a chill on the back of his head, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart.
His body leaped, and his head jerked to one side. At the same time, a stroke of silver light swiftly brushed past his ear, and a short sword, exuding chilly frost, stabbed into the large pillar of the Dragon Pool with fierce momentum!
Bang—
A muffled sound came, and the Dragon Pool’s pillar shook slightly. Dust dropped from the roof, startling the frightened crowd.
Looking at the short sword embedded in the pillar made everyone gasp. No one understood better than them how sturdy this pillar was. This short sword...
"So many bullying an old man, is this the true face of the Xuanjin Dragon Clan? As a human today, I have witnessed enough."
Everyone shifted their gaze away from the short sword and turned to look down the stairs of the Dragon Pool. Hundreds of steps below, a slender white figure stood impressively. Though she was below everyone, she inexplicably instilled a sense of pressure.
Shangguan Xiong’s face turned grim like water, having barely escaped danger, "This is the Dragon Clan, not a place for a mere human to run wild. Guards, capture her for me!"
An Yiqing looked at the Shangguan supporters rushing towards her from all directions, sneered, and disappeared eerily from sight.
Everyone felt their vision blur, a brush of clear wind blew past, and when they opened their eyes again, An Yiqing was already standing in front of them.
Hundreds of steps climbed in the blink of an eye.
An Yiqing’s display astounded the Dragon Clan members.
Shangguan Xiong hadn’t expected An Yiqing to be so skilled. He realized that if he hadn’t dodged quickly, that short sword would have stabbed into his head. Bitter inside, this woman cannot be allowed to stay!
"This woman just tried to kill me. According to Dragon Clan law, outsiders attacking the Dragon Clan shall be executed! Guards, capture her!" Shangguan Xiong waved his hand, ordering on the spot.
At this moment, two people spoke in unison—
"I dare anyone!"
The first speaker was naturally An Yiqing. As for the other—
People looked up towards the Sky. Among layers of white clouds, a hint of purple was faintly visible. Soon, a dragon roar resonated through the Sky and earth, causing the dragon clan members to soften their legs and kneel down.
Everyone looked up in awe. A breeze blew through, slightly moving the clouds and revealing a gap. Through the gap, dazzling sunlight pierced the clouds and shone on the ground. Looking against the sunlight, a purple figure stood floating in front of the blinding sun. Then, that silhouette grew closer and larger. As it came into focus for everyone, their eyes widened, and even their breath paused.
The dragon was a massive Purple Dragon! With purple whiskers and golden eyes, its body was covered with reflective, hard purple scales. Its dragon claws were purple as well, albeit with a hint of light gold when inspected under certain angles.
Historically, purple and gold symbolize the pinnacle of power. The Purple Giant Dragon is similarly a most sacred entity. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
The crowd prostrated on the ground, daring not to lift their heads.
Shangguan Xiong forcibly suppressed his inner fear, looked up at the Purple Dragon, as an ominous foreboding gradually rose in his heart.
This dragon...
"An Yiqing is my sole master, Long Zixuan, who dares to kill her? As long as I, Long Zixuan, am with the Dragon Clan, I alone am the heir, rid yourselves of your petty thoughts, or I won’t mind slaughtering freely!"
Thunderous voices and powerful dragon might swept the land. With the exception of An Yiqing and a few Old Clan members, the rest of the Dragon Clan prostrated, trembling and drenched in cold sweat.
The Old Clan Chief seemed incredulous at everything happening before him. Supported by Hongye and Elder Jin, he walked shakily to An Yiqing’s side, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the Purple Dragon.
"Girl...this is..."
An Yiqing chuckled lightly, "Grandpa Long, how can you not recognize your own grandson?"
The Old Clan Chief stepped back repeatedly, "He, he really is...Zixuan...?"
Long Zixuan’s massive dragon body circled the Sky, "Grandfather, I am Zixuan. Sister An has lifted my prohibition spell!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Finally, the Old Clan Chief wept with joy. He turned around and knelt profoundly toward An Yiqing, "Girl Qing, you are a great benefactor to me and Zixuan! Please accept my bow!"
An Yiqing couldn’t allow a senior over two thousand years old to kneel before her. She hurriedly helped him up, "Grandpa Long, Zixuan is my family. Morally, I will do my best to save him. Now is not the time for gratitude, let’s resolve the current situation first."
The Old Clan Chief nodded repeatedly, quickly calming his emotions. Amid the conversations, everyone snapped back and listened to An Yiqing and the Old Clan Chief’s dialogue.
This was the Little Red Snake? Turns out he truly is the Dragon Clan’s purest bloodline!
Unlike humans, the hierarchy is extraordinarily distinct for the dragons. For example, mice flee when they see cats; it’s an instinctual truth. It’s the same for the dragon clan, as against the Purple Dragon, ordinary members instinctively want to submit.
So without Long Zixuan displaying grand dragon might, most dragon clans already succumbed to him.
Seeing clan members prostrated on the ground, Long Zixuan swiftly circled once in the Air, lunging toward Shangguan Xiong.
Shangguan Xiong was no match for the Purple Dragon. The tremendous dragon might suffocated him, leaving him dumbfounded and pale.
In his sight, a massive dragon head barreled toward him, overwhelming dragon might smothering his breath. As Long Zixuan approached, Shangguan Xiong closed his eyes in despair.
The wait for death is excruciating, each second stretching like a century.
With eyes closed for what seemed ages, Shangguan Xiong sensed he was still alive. He sneaked open his eyes, "Ah! A ghost!" He screamed and sat heavily on the ground.
Face to face with Shangguan Xiong, Long Zixuan snorted coldly. Just pressing dragon eyes against his face frightened him to such a ghostly state. Quite small courage, yet quite brazen ambition.
