C4196 An Unknown Guest.
The Ancestor’s words were deafening. Ao Xi was completely stunned on the spot and did not know what to do.
A wave of fear arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.
If the Dragon Palace was gone, where would the Dragon Tribe go? Where would the future be?
At this moment, Ao Xi finally understood why the Ancestor was unwilling to interfere in the war between the Dragon Palace and the Purple Cloud City. The Ancestor was definitely worried about this.
Ao Xi had a pessimistic look on his face as he asked unwillingly, “Ancestor, is there really no way out for the Dragon Palace?”
“Yes, or no. Don’t you know? Why do you still want to ask me?”
The Ancestor’s voice was filled with ridicule as he said coldly.
Ao Xi was stunned on the spot and did not know how to respond for a moment.
He could tell that the Ancestor’s words were filled with resentment towards him and a hint of mockery.
After all, it was difficult for him to absolve himself of the blame for the Dragon Palace reaching this step. He would not be able to take the blame for this.
When he thought of this, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Why did he have to do this if he knew this would happen?
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
At this moment, the Ancestor let out a heavy sigh and said, “I hope that it is still not too late. My Dragon Palace still has enough time and opportunity to change. Otherwise, it will be too late.”
From the Ancestor’s words, Ao Xi could hear a deep uneasiness. He couldn’t help but tense up.
“Ancestor, what are you worried about? As long as you are here, even if the Dragon Palace is gone, my Dragon Clan will still stand tall and look down on the Endless Sea.”
Ao Xi said with a serious expression.
Who knew that the Ancestor would give him a fierce rebuke? He scolded, “What do you know? A great chaos is coming. The entire Divine Realm will become extremely chaotic and uneasy. What does a mere Endless Sea count as? It can’t be avoided. What should come will eventually come.”
Ao Xi was extremely alarmed. What exactly could make the Ancestor be so afraid?
“Ancestor, what are you talking about?”
“The descent of the demons might really be coming for the World Destruction War of the Divine Realm.”
The Ancestor said in a deep voice.
“This…” Ao Xi was stunned.
He had always thought that the descent of the demons was just a legend, a lie created by those restless evil cultivators to cover up their own actions. However, when these words came out of the Ancestor’s mouth, he couldn’t help but believe it.
“The descent of the demons? Isn’t that a legend? Ancestor, is this true?”
Ao Xi asked.
“Alas, I also hope that it isn’t true. However, the signs have all indicated that the possibility of this being true is extremely high.” The Ancestor sighed.
“Hiss~”
Ao Xi took in a few breaths of cold air, his face turning pale.
For a moment, countless thoughts surged in his mind, making him more and more worried about the current situation of the Dragon Palace.
“In that case, Ancestor, why don’t you tell Ao Yu and the others to stop the battle and preserve the strength of our Dragon Clan, and wait for the day when a turn of events will occur?”
Ao Xi said carefully.
“Foolish.” The Ancestor cursed angrily.
Afraid, Ao Xi’s entire body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground. The ice-cold seawater slapped onto his face, and it was as painful as a knife scraping.
“Foolish trash, if you don’t break, you won’t be able to stand. If you break, you will be able to stand. You didn’t even listen to what I just said, did you?”
The Ancestor scolded angrily.
“Ancestor, please calm down. I just feel that if the great chaos really comes, it would be good to preserve a bit of strength for our Dragon Clan to deal with the calamity that might come. We don’t have to die in the great battle with the Heavenly Sea Island, right?”
Ao Xi swallowed his saliva and said in a submissive manner.
The Ancestor sighed from the seawater, “You have been too comfortable for too long. The current Dragon Palace, and even the Dragon Clan, have long decayed. If you don’t break, you will not be able to stand. If you don’t experience a bloody storm, you will not be able to welcome a new life. If you welcome the great chaos of the invasion of the demons with this appearance, the first to be destroyed will be the Endless Sea Dragon Clan. You are too naive.”
“This…”
Ao Xi was shaken when he heard this, and he was unable to control himself for a long time.
He heard absolute calmness and absolute cruelty from the Ancestor’s words.
It was like a raging fire burning oil. It was impossible to become a genius without tempering through blood and fire. The Dragon Palace and the Dragon Clan had arrived at such a critical juncture.
Ao Xi thought of all of this, yet he still couldn’t bear to do so.
He knew that the Dragon Palace and the Dragon Clan would suffer even more casualties this time, and it would be even more tragic than the great defeat from before.
He raised his eyes and begged, “Ancestor, could it be that there’s really no other way?”
“Do you think there’s?” The Ancestor asked in reply.
“…” Ao Xi was silent because he knew that the Ancestor was right, and there was no other way.
The Dragon Palace’s rotten illness was truly too deep, and it had been infected for so many tens of thousands of years. How could it be completely reversed in a single day? It was no different from a fool’s talk if it soared into the sky once more.
Suddenly, the Ancestor’s tone changed as he said in a grim voice, “Looks like there’s really not much time left for us.”
“Hmm? Ancestor, what do you mean?”
Ao Xi was shocked and hurriedly asked.
The Ancestor didn’t answer him, and his gaze was deep and carried a deep worry. He raised his head slowly and looked into the distance.
Before long, a terrifying figure that was like a black star appeared in their fields of vision. It was like an abyss of death, and all the light in the surroundings was swallowed up, and it emitted an extremely evil and formidable aura.
The newcomer was wearing a black and white strange mask, and he arrived in a flash.
Ao Xi stared at the newcomer vigilantly and questioned, “Who are you, sir? This is the Dragon Palace’s restricted area. Please leave now.”
His aura was not the slightest bit inferior to that of the newcomer. It was as if he would start a fight at any moment.
This was the Dragon Palace’s restricted area, Ao Xi’s private property. Yet, an outsider who looked like a human had suddenly barged in. One could imagine the anger in his heart.
Ao Xi’s eyes turned red as he glared at the newcomer.
The masked cultivator glanced coldly at Ao Xi, revealing a heartless, beast-like gaze.
“Is this how the Dragon Palace treats its guests?”
“Human?” Ao Xi was greatly shocked. He was on full alert, his mind tensed to the extreme.
“An uninvited guest is not a guest,” the old ancestor said coldly.
The masked cultivator chuckled and did not mind. He completely ignored Ao Xi and looked at the newcomer. “Ao Yi, after so many years, you still haven’t changed at all. You haven’t improved at all.”
The old ancestor, Ao Yi, was instantly enraged. He clenched his fists tightly. “Who exactly are you, sir? Do you recognize me?”
“It’s not important who I am. What’s important is that I brought a sliver of hope to the half-dead dragon race. Shouldn’t you welcome me properly?”
The masked cultivator spoke arrogantly, as if he was certain of Ao Yi’s fate.
