Chapter 2334: Dragon Ancestor (3)

?

Yun Lintian, his gaze unwavering, nodded in acknowledgment. He had not sought power or glory, but he would not shirk from his responsibility.

Before coming here, he had already made the decision to take over the Dragon God Clan, especially after seeing how arrogant Long Aotian and the Dragon God clansmen were. He knew he couldn't allow Senior Dragon God's legacy to be tarnished any further.

Yun Lintian turned his attention to the Ancestral Land. "Release my wife, Long Qingxuan, or face the consequences of your actions," he called out, his voice carrying across the vast distance.

A moment of silence followed, the air thick with anticipation. Then, a ripple appeared in the space above the Ancestral Land, and a figure emerged, stepping out into the courtyard.

It was Long Wu, the Fifth Dragon Ancestor. His face, once stoic and unyielding, now bore a hint of resignation. He had witnessed Yun Lintian's power, his unwavering resolve, and the overwhelming support he had garnered from the Dragon God Clan. He knew that resistance was futile.

"Very well," Long Wu said, his voice heavy with defeat. "Come with me. Everyone wants to see you."

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly. He lowered the sword and nodded to Xiao Shou before walking towards the Dragon God Ancestral Land.

Xiao Shou didn't follow him in. He turned to Long Fan and said, "Senior, I'm afraid the reputation of the Dragon God Clan will plummet after today's events."

The guests' expressions changed drastically. What did he mean? Did he want to kill them all? Long Fan naturally understood Xiao Shou's hint. He smiled and turned to look at the crowd. "Please forgive us for the sudden change of program today. We will continue to celebrate the marriage between the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Queen very soon."

The guests breathed a sigh of relief. If the Dragon Gods here planned to eliminate all of them, it would be impossible for them to escape.

"Congratulations to the Dragon God Clan. May the love of Her and His Majesty last for eternity." Dongfang Hao was the first to speak up.

"Congratulations..."

One after another, the guests collectively expressed their blessings. This time, it was more genuine, without flattery.

Yun Lintian followed Long Wu, leaving behind a scene of stunned silence. He traversed a path that led him into a lush, vibrant expanse of the Ancestral Land. The air hummed with an ancient energy, a testament to the sacredness of this place. It was a world away from the chaos and destruction he had left behind, a stark contrast that filled him with a sense of both peace and unease.

As they ventured deeper into the Ancestral Land, the landscape unfolded before them, revealing majestic peaks, cascading waterfalls, and serene lakes. Ancient trees, their branches reaching towards the heavens, whispered secrets of forgotten epochs. Mystical creatures, their forms shimmering with ethereal light, frolicked among the verdant foliage, adding to the mystical allure of this hallowed ground.

Yun Lintian couldn't help but marvel at the sheer beauty and grandeur of the Ancestral Land. It was a testament to the Dragon God Clan's enduring power, a sanctuary where the essence of their ancestors lingered, watching over their descendants.

Finally, they reached a clearing nestled amidst the towering peaks. In its center stood a magnificent pagoda, its golden roof gleaming in the sunlight. It was the heart of the Ancestral Land, the dwelling place of the Dragon God Ancestors.

Long Wu led Yun Lintian towards the pagoda, his footsteps echoing in the stillness of the clearing. As they approached, the doors of the pagoda swung open, revealing a spacious chamber bathed in a soft, ethereal light.

Within the chamber sat four figures, their forms radiating an aura of immense power and wisdom. They were the Dragon God Ancestors, the guardians of the clan's legacy.

Long Yi, the eldest of the ancestors, sat at the head of the chamber, his gaze filled with an unfathomable depth. His long, flowing beard and silver hair framed his weathered face, a testament to the countless epochs he had witnessed.

Beside him sat Long Er, Long San, and Long Si, each ancestor exuding their unique aura, a blend of draconic power and ancient wisdom.

Yun Lintian remained silent and calmly looked at the legendary Dragon God Ancestors.

Long Yi nodded, his gaze lingering on Yun Lintian's face. "So, you are the one who has inherited the Primordial Azure Dragon God's legacy," he said, his voice echoing through the chamber.

Yun Lintian raised his head, his eyes meeting Long Yi's gaze. "I am Yun Lintian, inheritor of the Primordial Azure Dragon God," he declared, his voice filled with pride and conviction.

A flicker of approval crossed Long Yi's face. "We have been expecting you," he said, his tone surprisingly gentle. "Your arrival was foretold long ago, a sign of the Dragon God Clan's renewal."

Yun Lintian was stunned. "You knew?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion. "But why did you allow Long Aotian to tarnish the clan's legacy?"

Long Yi sighed, his gaze turning towards the distance. "The Dragon God Clan has faced many challenges since the departure of Long Shen," he said, his voice tinged with sadness. "We have been plagued by internal strife, external threats, and the ever-present danger of corruption."

He paused, his gaze returning to Yun Lintian. "Long Aotian's ascension to power was a test, a trial to see if the Dragon God Clan could withstand the temptation of darkness. Unfortunately,

we failed."

Yun Lintian could sense the deep regret and sorrow in the ancestor's voice, the weight of countless epochs of responsibility weighing heavily on his shoulders.

"But now, you are here," Long Yi continued, his voice filled with renewed hope. "You are the beacon of light that will guide the Dragon God Clan back to the path of righteousness. You are the one who will restore our honor and reclaim our rightful place in the Primal Chaos." Yun Lintian didn't say anything about this. He asked, "Where are Qingxuan and Senior Long?"

A flicker of sadness crossed Long Yi's face. "Long Xuan is indeed alive," he said, his voice heavy. "But he is currently imprisoned within the Ancestral Land."

"Why?" Yun Lintian asked further.

Long Wu spoke up, his tone stern. "Long Xuan violated the sacred laws of the Dragon God Clan," he said. "He dared to challenge our authority and question our decisions. His actions threatened the stability of the clan, and we had no choice but to take action."

Yun Lintian's brow furrowed. He could see that Long Wu was a strict person.

"I want to see him," he said, his voice filled with a quiet determination.
