Chapter 1877: Danger Facing Two Factions

Ao Hong looked at Lu Yun, pressing his hands down to indicate for calm.

The young man sank back into his seat, his face dark. He was safe in the World of Soul Dominion, but Qing Yu and the little fox were open and vulnerable in the fourth realm. The world of immortal dao sequence probably wouldn’t be able to withstand the true powerhouses of the chief worlds.

Leize, Fuxi, Pangu, Hongjun, and the others were still recovering from their grave wounds. If the outsiders wanted to move against them, they would find a way.

“Hang on!” Lu Yun suddenly thought of someone—Qiu Feishan. She was from the Autumnus Realm and had defeated Lu Qing with one blow when he blockaded Astronomia Mountain. Mysterious beyond compare, the faction’s will was represented by Qiu Feishan’s appearance.

According to the azure dragon ancestral god, the Autumnus Realm had entered the fourth realm to search out a terrifying existence that’d infiltrated the land. That existence had come to kill the four ancestral gods.

The azure dragon ancestral god?!

Autumnus Realm!

Lu Yun slowly drew a connection between the two and subconsciously glanced at Ao Hong.

“Have you thought of something?” An unreadable smile appeared on the dragon’s face.

“What does the Autumnus Realm have to do with the dragons?” Lu Yun frowned. “The azure dragon ancestral god and Leize are missing, which means that the dragons have lost their protection. There will certainly be those in the chief worlds who wish to take advantage of this opening. An out-of-sight nine clawed golden dragon will not deter those powerhouses.

“But no one has ever marched on the dragons. That’s all due to the Autumnus Realm, isn’t it?”

The strongest of the chief worlds hailed from that faction. While that person hadn’t engaged in that many battles or even sparred with Yun Yi, their status as the strongest in the realm was never in doubt.

“Correct,” Ao Hong nodded. “The Autumnus Realm found themselves in a precarious position when they first came into being. Our ancestral god and the other three venerable ones jointly protected them, so Autumnus Realm will naturally safeguard us in kind when the dragons are beset by danger.

“The existence of the nine clawed golden dragon is a lie that they make whole for us.”

As proud as they were, the dragons would never agree to the Autumnus Realm openly sheltering the race. The faction was also well aware of their nature and never offered to do such a thing.

“The ancestral god, patriarch, as well as our powerhouse torch dragon, has taken up residence in the Land of Reincarnation. If you are connected to them, the Autumnus Realm will protect you and your loved ones too,” Ao Hong smiled.

Zhu Lingyan was the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme’s disciple? While others might be in the dark about the relationship between the grand supreme and Leize, the same would never hold true for the dragons.

When the dragons faced their crisis, it was the Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit Grand Supremes who surreptitiously extended a hand and killed another grand supreme seeking to ambush the race. Ao Hong was the father of the Golden Dragon King and the leader of the dragons on the World of Soul Dominion; he knew all of the race’s core secrets.

Though he appeared to be simply a forty-fourth level sequence cultivator, he was far more than that given who his son was. And despite his cultivation level, he could call upon stunning power in times of crucial need.

“Go ask the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme about whatever you wish to know,” Lu Yun nodded. “The supreme will tell you if he thinks there is a need for you to know.

“But what I want to say is that while I can trust you, I cannot trust your son! The air of violence around him is too strong. If he accumulates sufficient strength, he really will start a civil war and exterminate the azure dragons to make himself the legitimate line!” the young man enunciated carefully.

Ao Hong blinked, then inclined his head. His son truly was enraged by Lu Yun’s actions—a sign that not everything he did was an act.

“Are the Morans and dragons allies?” Lu Yun further asked.

“Yes,” Ao Hong nodded. “When the two factions are strong, the worlds of sequence are the basis for our strength. But if our pillars perish, then our worlds of sequence become our death warrant. The Moran Clan is sympathetic to our plight since they are in similar straits and thus secretly allied with us.

“Moran Wu slaying Ao Qin provides the cover of a fake death for Ao Qin. He was thus free to search for the azure dragon ancestral god in the Land of Reincarnation. This was something that our two sides arranged for ahead of time. Unfortunately, numerous unexpected developments happened along the way that adversely implicated Moran Wu.”

“Moran Wu?” Lu Yun started. “The Spacetime King?”

“Moran Wu does indeed grasp the dao of space and time and cultivate its path. He did not access dark dao sequence,” Ao Hong nodded.

Very few people knew the Spacetime King’s true name. Ao Hong spoke of it to gain Lu Yun’s trust. The dragons had been searching for their ancestral god all this time and more importantly, no one had told them the truth of Leize being alive again.

The Morans were just like the dragons now. All of their powerhouses that could hold down the fort were either missing or dead. If the two factions didn’t form an alliance, even protection from the Autumnus Realm would be stretched too far to retain their worlds of sequence.

As lofty and mighty they appeared on the surface, they teetered on the edge of disaster. It was true that a world of sequence could nurture powerhouses and that their younger generations were far stronger than those of the other factions, but it hadn’t been long since they’d come into possession of their worlds.

The strongest heavyweight on the dragons’ side was the Azure Dragon King Ao Chong—the youngest grand supreme among the chief worlds. There were numerous geniuses for the Morans, such as Qing Buyi’s challenger Moran Xuhua. He was the youngest supreme among the chief worlds.

However, that was not enough. Supremes were a certain level of heavyweight, but those such as Yun Yi and the azure dragon ancestral god were beyond supreme. Only that level of powerhouse could champion a faction and protect its world of sequence.

“Alright, enough of that for now.” Ao Hong shook his head to clear it. He’d said so much to Lu Yun because he wanted to glean some information on where the two dragon powerhouses were, but the young man proved to be a difficult nut to crack. Given his prolonged lack of success, Ao Hong was no longer interested in their conversation.

“There’s a valuable treasure emerging in this world. Chu Xingran has already gone with some draconic heavyweights to seize it. Will you be joining them?” the dragon looked at Lu Yun.

“No,” the young man shook his head. “I’m only twenty-eight levels and not yet a senior cultivator. I’d be going to my death and the Ghost Sect won’t be giving up that easily. If I go, that’ll put myself in their sights.”

“Are you that afraid of death?” Ao Hong was rather surprised. In his understanding, a youngster like Lu Yun should be very interested in a matter like this. A valuable treasure emerging in the World of Soul Dominion was no trifling matter; all of the factions in the world would pay close attention to it.

“Yep,” Lu Yun nodded, “There are many treasures in the world, but just one life.”

Ao Hong quirked his lips. “Alright then, stay and cultivate in the city. The rules here will send you out after a year, but you can also refuse to leave and continue to remain.”

Lu Yun nodded silently.
