Chapter 1455: Give You A Chance

Having 10 percent of the veins' draconic aura extracted by Xiang Shaoyun had affected the veins greatly. However, the upgraded formation placed by Xiang Shaoyun could accelerate the energy replenishment of the veins. In a way, the 10 percent draconic aura could be considered Xiang Shaoyun's payment for upgrading their formation.

Since the Dragon Society had submitted to him, Long Jun didn't dare to say anything either. After returning to the residence arranged for him, someone told Xiang Shaoyun that Chen Zilong had awakened.

Xiang Shaoyun then went to visit Chen Zilong. After being nourished by his profundity of life, Chen Zilong had recovered considerably. However, he still needed some time before he could regain his full strength.

Xiang Shaoyun saw that Chen Zilong was already a peak Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. As Chen Zilong was only three years older than Xiang Shaoyun and was merely a member of an organization like the Dragon Society instead of a bigger organization, his cultivation speed could be considered impressive.

"I thought I was seeing things, but you were really the one who had saved me," said Chen Zilong.

"How are you feeling?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"My injuries are mostly healed. As for my strength, it will recover soon, too," said Chen Zilong. A look of deep hatred covered his face as he said, "Xiang Shaoyun, I need a favor from you. If you do me this favor, my life will be yours."

He then knelt down before Xiang Shaoyun. One could see how determined he was to have his issue resolved.

But before he could fully kneel down, an incorporeal force stopped him. Xiang Shaoyun asked, "Tell me about it. What favor do you need?"

"I want Long Yugang, the young society master, dead!" said Chen Zilong as he gnashed his teeth in fury.

Long Yugang was a descendant of Long Jun's family branch. Therefore, this was a difficult favor to ask from Xiang Shaoyun because Xiang Shaoyun had just subdued the Dragon Society. His current priority should be earning their loyalty instead of causing their loyalty to waver. But after hearing Chen Zilong's story, he decided to give Chen Zilong a chance to have his revenge.

It turned out that after joining the Dragon Society, Chen Zilong had displayed great talent and was accepted as a direct disciple by one of the society's peak Sovereigns, which enabled his strength to grow rapidly. Eventually, he even defeated one of the crown princes in the society, becoming a crown prince himself.

Generally speaking, the Dragon Society would nurture anyone capable of becoming a crown prince with great care. If the crown prince was able to perform well, he even stood a chance to become the next society master.

Unfortunately for Chen Zilong, he was a newcomer in the society and was too young. He still needed a lot of time before he could catch up to the three crown princes before him and the young society master, Long Yugang.

Furthermore, the society's old members were prejudiced against newcomers like Chen Zilong. Thus, Chen Zilong was the target of numerous suppressions. Of course, none of that could stop his growth. With his unrelenting hard work, he aimed to become a Sovereign or even a Saint as quickly as possible.

After spending some years in the Dragon Society, Chen Zilong had naturally found himself his other half as well. He fell in love with a similarly talented female disciple of the Dragon Society. The two cultivated and progressed together, becoming a couple that many envied.

Alas, after a chance encounter with the female disciple, Long Yugang was smitten by her and wanted to take her as his concubine. Of course, Long Yugang wouldn't blatantly snatch someone's woman to protect his prestige. Rather, he had someone mention his intention to Chen Zilong in a roundabout manner. If Chen Zilong was willing to offer him the woman, he would promise Chen Zilong more resources.

However, no man with even a tiny bit of courage would accept such an offer. Chen Zilong resolutely refused the offer and even scolded Long Yugang badly. By doing so, he offended Long Yugang. Greatly infuriated by the refusal, Long Yugang started thinking of ways to separate Chen Zilong and the female disciple.

Eventually, he made up a groundless accusation and imprisoned Chen Zilong. As for the woman, she was defiled by Long Yugang before being mercilessly killed. Chen Zilong was too weak to put up any resistance and was detained in the Baleful Dragon Cave to suffer eternal torture. Fortunately, with the qilin blood in his veins, he was able to resist the baleful energy. Otherwise, he would have been dead by now.

"Xiang Shaoyun, I beg you! Please help me with this!" Chen Zilong pleaded.

"I can't take revenge on your behalf," said Xiang Shaoyun. Just as a disappointed expression appeared on Chen Zilong's face, Xiang Shaoyun said, "But I'll give you a chance. I can help you enter the Soul Foundation Realm immediately. I can also sponsor you with resources and help you advance rapidly in your cultivation. When you reach Long Yugang's cultivation level, I'll give you a chance to challenge him. As for whether you can kill him, it will rely on your capability."

Xiang Shaoyun's arrangement was naturally for the sake of giving Chen Zilong the motivation to rise up again. After all, he did not save Chen Zilong just so he could have a useless individual by his side.

A look of deep hatred covered Chen Zilong's eyes as he said, "Ok! I'll kill Long Yugang with my own hands!"

"Ok. Follow me back to the Ziling Sect, then. The Dragon Society has surrendered to me. Your enemy won't go anywhere," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.

"As long as I can take my revenge, my life will be yours," said Chen Zilong solemnly.

"Presently, your life is nothing to me. I hope a day will come when you prove your life useful," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.

In the past, Xiang Shaoyun had considered Chen Zilong his equal. But after experiencing such a tragedy, it was no longer possible for the two to return to their past relationship. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun felt somewhat regretful.

After Xiang Shaoyun, Chen Zilong, and the 108 riders left, the Dragon Society members finally heaved a breath of relief.

News of the Dragon Society becoming Ziling Sect's subsidiary organization couldn't be hidden. Before long, it spread throughout the Celestial King Province and Soaring Dragon Province.

Any tier-7 organization was a major power of an area. And when a tier-7 organization was subdued by another tier-7 organization, it signified that something big was about to happen.

Before long, a different piece of news started spreading. The Brightflower Chamber, a tier-7 organization, had also submitted to the Ziling Sect. Finally, the masses started guessing that the Ziling Sect was probably getting ready to advance into a tier-8 organization.

Everyone could feel the massive ambitions of the young king among Saints, Xiang Shaoyun. In the near future, the Ziling Sect would most likely become one of the major powers of the Western Desert.

At the same time, another piece of major news was also spreading. A certain hermit clan had ended their seclusion and had rapidly conquered a small province. The province was previously named the Raging Flame Province. But after it was conquered, it was renamed Di Flame Province.

Before long, it was made known that the Di Flame Province had been conquered by the Di Clan, an organization that had a God Realm expert and was also a former imperial clan hailing from an ancient dynasty from 10,000 years ago.

The entire Western Desert was shocked.
