Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 2038 - 519: Soul Severing

The white mist drifts by, Long Zixuan transforms in a flash, the purple dragon disappears, and a young man in a black cotton robe appears out of thin air.

The man looks about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with short, thick hair hanging between his brows. His sharp sword-like eyebrows are boldly expressive, and in his deep black eyes flows a vast starry river. His lips are rosy, a playful smile hangs at the corner of his mouth, adding a touch of wicked charm to his already striking face.

The Old Clan Chief stares at Long Zixuan excitedly, so this is how his grandson looks as a grown-up!

In the Dragon Clan, once a young dragon reaches eighteen, the aging process starts to slow down. For instance, Shangguan Tao of the Shangguan Family seems like a robust man in his thirties, yet he is actually over three hundred years old. Similarly, Hongye only appears a few years older than An Yiqing, but she has lived for more than a hundred years.

Of course, this also relates to one’s own cultivation. The higher the skill level, the slower the aging process. This is an unchangeable fact for both the Ancient Martial World and the Dragon Clan.

Long Zixuan previously had restrictions suppressing his body’s strength. Now the restrictions are lifted, revealing the appearance of a grown man. However, one thing that surprises the crowd is that Long Zixuan hasn’t practiced over the years, living for nearly sixty years yet appearing this young. Could it be that this is the unique characteristic of the Purple Dragon?

Of course, this is just something everyone dares to ponder in their minds. Long Zixuan merely glancing at them makes them feel breathless.

"I, Long Zixuan, in the name of the Young Master of the Dragon Clan, solemnly declare here. As long as I am here, the Dragon Clan will not undergo a dynastic change. I understand everyone’s thoughts, but don’t forget, who is the Head Chief of the Dragon Clan!"

The scene falls silent, Long Zixuan’s cold gaze sweeps across the crowd, "Next, I will announce something. An Yiqing, my master, from today onwards, she is the Elder Keqing of our Dragon Clan, possessing equal status and rights with me! Does anyone have objections?"

The ground is dark, everyone wishes they could hide their heads in cracks, fearing to become the souls under Long Zixuan’s blade.

"Very good, since no one has objections, then it’s settled. Furthermore," Long Zixuan’s fierce gaze turns to Shangguan Xiong, "Shangguan Xiong has shown disrespect to the Dragon Clan’s Head Chief. According to clan rules, one month in the water prison. Other members of the Shangguan Family are to reflect in confinement for half a month, without me and the Clan Leader’s orders, no one is allowed to visit!"

After said, Long Zixuan supports the Old Clan Chief as he slowly leaves with An Yiqing and others.

After An Yiqing leaves with others, Shangguan Xiong finally cannot hold himself, collapsing onto the ground.

The Dragon Clan’s water prison is not like the water prison depicted in television dramas, where a few dips would suffice. The water prison of the Dragon Clan, those who enter might not die, but they will shed a layer of skin.

Shangguan Xiong grits his teeth bitterly, a month, Long Zixuan wants him dead!

Unlike the dire expressions of the Shangguan Family, the Clan Leader’s Residence is filled with joy.

The Old Clan Chief sits in the hall, his old face blooming with happiness, appearing decades younger. On his left is Long Zixuan. On his right is An Yiqing. And Yin Xilin, having tirelessly helped An Yiqing in the past few days, could no longer withstand it, falling asleep deeply as soon as Long Zixuan lifted the restriction.

"Girl, how did you lift this restriction? Back then, I tried many methods and sought out renowned doctors, but to no avail."

Elder Jin and Hongye eagerly look at An Yiqing, as the Old Clan Chief’s question is something they’ve been wanting to ask.

An Yiqing smiles softly, mysteriously shaking her head, "This is a secret technique of my Shimen, I’m sorry Grandpa Long, but I cannot disclose it. However, I can reveal that Zixuan’s body is completely fine now, the restriction is completely lifted."

"That’s good, that’s good!" The Old Clan Chief nods repeatedly, "I never expected that in my lifetime, not only was I able to find my grandson, but also see him lift the restriction! Good, good indeed!"

Seeing the Old Clan Chief so excited, An Yiqing suddenly remembers her grandfather and master far away in Xuandu City. She has been away for almost half a month and wonders how they are doing.

Momentarily sentimental, An Yiqing puts away her longing.

"Grandpa Long, don’t celebrate too early. Although Zixuan’s restriction is indeed lifted, I’ve found another issue. This restriction is split into two layers. The first layer suppresses bodily and strength growth, preventing a return to true form. The second layer directly leads to death. This layer will erupt when Zixuan turns a hundred. If we can’t find a solution before then, Zixuan only has forty years to live."

The Old Clan Chief’s smile suddenly freezes on his face, the teacup in his hand almost drops. Long Zixuan sighs and steps to the Old Clan Chief’s side, gently patting his shoulder for silent comfort.

"Girl, is there a way to save Zixuan again?" After a while, the Old Clan Chief asks tremblingly.

An Yiqing nods, then shakes her head.

"Grandpa Long, I have a way to save Zixuan. But the required herbs are exceedingly rare, I’m not sure I can obtain them."

"What is it?"

An Yiqing furrows her brow, organizing her words, "It’s a kind of blue small grass. I read about this grass in a book named ’Soul Severing.’ However, this is just the name given by the book’s author. The book says this grass is rare in the world, and it is impossible to discern its growth pattern. Therefore, it’s very hard to find."

The Old Clan Chief’s heart sinks slightly, "Girl, can you draw the appearance of the Soul Severing Grass? I’ll immediately send someone to look for it."

An Yiqing nods. She takes the pen and paper handed by Hongye, and with a few simple strokes, she draws the appearance of the Soul Severing Grass.

Hongye takes the paper, inadvertently glances at the Soul Severing Grass’s appearance, and her face suddenly changes.

"Isn’t this grass the sacred object of the Sky Punishment Pavilion?!"

"Let me see!" The Old Clan Chief quickly stands up, snatching the drawing paper from Hongye. He looks down, his face drastically changes, "Elder Jin, come and take a look."

Elder Jin immediately steps over, carefully examines it, then looks up at An Yiqing, "Miss An, are you certain you haven’t drawn it incorrectly?"

"Absolutely not. Soul Severing Grass has three leaves and one flower, leaves are dark blue, the three flowers are light blue and round. The leaves of the grass have serrations, four large and one small, the features are very distinct, there’s no chance of error."

This time, even Long Zixuan’s expression changes.

An Yiqing purses her lips, looking at the several people with drastically changed faces, "Grandpa Long, what on earth is happening, can you tell me?"

The Old Clan Chief struggles for a moment, finally letting out a deep sigh.

"Well, you are Zixuan’s benefactor, the old man has nothing to hide from you. Girl, this grass is the sacred object of the Dragon Clan’s Sky Punishment Pavilion, rumored to be capable of resurrecting the dead and adding a hundred years of cultivation power. Years ago, Ancestor Xuan Qing accidentally discovered it, and after learning its effects, kept it as the Pavilion’s sacred object. Ancestor Xuan Qing commanded that unless absolutely necessary, no one shall touch this sacred object, else it will result in certain death."

An Yiqing’s face doesn’t look good, "Did he set traps around the Soul Severing Grass?"

"I’m not quite sure, but what is certain is that the Soul Severing Grass is definitely not easy to obtain. Otherwise, why hasn’t Xuan Mo dared to scheme for the Soul Severing Grass with his grand ambition?"

An Yiqing thinks of it and indeed, the Pavilion Master Xuan Mo of Sky Punishment Pavilion is an ambitious figure; if the Soul Severing Grass isn’t dangerous, he might have eaten it long ago.

"Grandpa Long, if someone steals the Soul Severing Grass, is there a threat to the Dragon Clan?"

The Old Clan Chief shakes his head, "The Soul Severing Grass doesn’t belong to the Dragon Clan, nor does the Sky Punishment Pavilion. So even if the Soul Severing Grass is stolen, it wouldn’t threaten the Dragon Clan. Girl, could it be that you want to..."

An Yiqing suddenly smiles, "I confess my skills don’t compare to Ancestor Xuan Qing, I don’t dare venture into his traps. But, I don’t believe Ancestor Xuan Qing didn’t leave a method to retrieve the Soul Severing Grass."

This grass is left by Xuan Qing for his descendants as a lifesaver; if he didn’t leave a method to retrieve the Soul Severing Grass, would he let generations in a crisis watch it accompany their burial?

So, Xuan Qing must have left a way to retrieve the grass, only the past Pavilion Masters of Sky Punishment Pavilion haven’t discovered it.

What An Yiqing thought of, the Old Clan Chief naturally thought of too.

"I understand what you’re saying, but we Dragon Clan members cannot enter and exit Sky Punishment Pavilion freely, even if we want to find it, we are powerless."

An Yiqing doesn’t speak, instead, she turns and smiles brightly at Long Zixuan.

Long Zixuan’s red lips curve up, showing a wicked smile, "Grandpa, tonight An Sister and I will stealthily visit the Sky Punishment Pavilion!"
