Huangfu Zhan looked utterly despondent.

Several elders supported Huangfu Zhan, silently.

The True Dragon Clan has lost the Holy Son, which means their ambition to rise through bloodline supremacy is now nearly impossible.

"Lord Huangfu... could you please say something?" an elder urged.

Huangfu Zhan's eyes were dull, he didn't want to say a word.

The death of the Holy Son had hit him hard, and Huangfu Changcun was also dead... Now they've offended the Dragon Clan, the future of the True Dragon Clan is uncertain.

But...

If they want to survive, they must submit!

What else could he do?

After a moment of silence, Huangfu Zhan finally spoke, "Alright!"

Everyone nodded.

As for the dispute over the status of the Ten Great Bloodlines, it's no longer the core topic of discussion. The True Dragon Clan offended the Dragon Clan, and their status will sharply decline in the future. This point doesn't need further contention or explanation.

The other Seven Clans even looked at Huangfu Zhan with a touch of sympathy.

Besides Huangfu Zhan.

There was another person who was most distressed.

And that was the Clan Leader of the Jiuli Clan, Gongsun Yang.

The Jiuli Clan has always been proud, their inherent arrogance is even stronger than that of the True Dragon Clan. If it wasn't suppressed by the True Dragon Clan, it would surely become second amongst the Ten Great Bloodlines.

However...

Today's Jiuli Clan made the greatest mistake in their history. Even when the Secret Realm erupted in the past, to avoid natural disasters, the Jiuli Clan chose to enter the Secret Realm, but they never made such a mistake like today. Eight thousand years of persistence, one wrong move, and every move hence was wrong, losing everything.

"The matter concerning the True Dragon Clan can be resolved first. What about the Jiuli Clan? Now only Brother Gongsun remains, we can't just let him go to his death... You all saw what the Jiuli Clan did, collectively violating the decree of the Dragon Clan heir, the guilt is too great, merely admitting guilt with punishment may not quell the heir's anger, the heir may very well sentence Brother Gongsun to death!" someone said.

"But there's no choice... speaking objectively, we indeed made a huge mistake. Mistakes must be borne, it's always been like this... The Jiuli Clan brought this upon themselves, whoever made the mistake should bear it, this is the fairest solution. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded.

"That's right, since things are like this, the Tianyin Clan is the luckiest, they're women, maybe by offering some exceptionally beautiful women, the heir might be pleased and nothing else would matter... What about the rest of us tribes? Considering our age, we've lived for eight thousand years, and women are scarcely among us. How can we please the heir?"

"Stop with the nonsense... we'll stick with what was said earlier, whoever's at fault, they should bear it! That's the right way! The Jiuli Clan has already paid the price, and even though Brother Gongsun is the last man standing, I believe he should go to admit guilt as well. Could he escape? Where could he go? Can any place under the sky tolerate Huaxia cultivators now? Who let this land be the dominion of the Dragon Totem?"

"Hmm, makes sense. I agree with you."

"Alright... it's settled then... Brother Gongsun, what do you think?"

Everyone's gaze turned to Gongsun Yang.

Gongsun Yang's expression was solemn, extremely grave, even bloodlessly pale.

Having nearly faced extermination, now he's the only one left, such a circumstance is unbearable for anyone, isn't it?

After pondering for a while.

Gongsun Yang's gaze became firm, as if nothing had happened, and he said, "Alright! I'll go and admit guilt! Rest assured, the Jiuli Clan has the courage to take responsibility, we will not burden any of you!"

"Excellent! Daring, a true man can bend and stretch, that's admirable."

With the matter settled.

Everyone's gaze fell on Ye Xie, Clan Leader of the True Phoenix Clan.

Before coming here, they learned about the True Phoenix Clan.

Moreover, the Ten Great Bloodlines are very well acquainted with one another.

Since ancient times, the Holy Daughter of the True Phoenix Clan has been the wife of the Holy Son of the True Dragon Clan, a marriage alliance spanning thousands of years.

Now, due to this matter, it had to be interrupted.

"Ye Xie... you're truly something, based on prior understanding, your True Phoenix Clan was the earliest to return to the city, weren't you? Before returning, didn't you conduct a thorough investigation? No, you certainly investigated the details of the Dragon Clan heir thoroughly... didn't you think he might be the Dragon Clan heir?"

"Under your leadership, the True Phoenix Clan has utterly disgraced itself. You could have offended anyone, but you chose to offend the Dragon Clan heir; how should I even comment on you?"

Ye Xie, the self-proclaimed True Lord, the Clan Leader of the True Phoenix Clan, possesses no more than Star Level cultivation, not even Infinite Level. The reason for consistently holding the second position is solely reliance on the True Dragon Clan.

"Ye Xie, before coming here, I had someone investigate the Holy Daughter... Ye Wenjun, was originally part of the Yanjing Martial Arts Family, and had an engagement with Fang Yu, oh no, with the Dragon Clan heir. Later they married. In other words... Ye Xie, you had a great opportunity, an opportunity better than ours. A fantastic chance to ascend in one step... yet, you wanted to take the Holy Daughter away from the Dragon Clan heir, even to break up the couple... you're something else, truly something else!"

Everyone else rolled their eyes.

Upon hearing these words.

Nobody felt worse than Ye Xie.

With a long sigh, he said, "How could I not understand what you're saying!? If I had known Emperor Yu was the Dragon Clan heir, I would never dare forcibly take the Holy Daughter away! Not only that, but I would be eager to become in-laws with the Dragon Clan heir! Alas—it's too late now, I offended the Dragon Clan heir first... I will represent the True Phoenix Clan in seeking forgiveness from the heir. Hopefully, the heir will consider the bloodline of the Holy Daughter and forgive our clan."

"Alas, you have no choice but to do this, then..."

...

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Yu and Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to the Fang Family.

In the hall.

Fang Yu looked at the Infinite Level mysterious expert, saying, "Speak, what's going on with the Dragon Clan?"

The mysterious expert bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's a long story..."

"Then make it short."

"..."

The mysterious expert paused, showing an awkward expression, then sighed, "Your mother, Dan Rou, was originally of the Dragon Clan. Later, someone in the Dragon Clan slandered your mother, claiming she was illegitimate... So she was banished from the Dragon Clan, and her entire cultivation was sealed. Afterwards, she met your biological father... Lu Tianxing from the Lu Family."

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu's eyes widened, saying, "My mom was illegitimate?"

"Alas, before now, I thought so too... but today, I realize that's not the case. Because... you inherited the Dragon Totem!"

"What do you mean?"

"Only members of the Dragon Clan can receive the genuine Divine Dragon inheritance... and now I understand why your mother insisted on leaving the Mandala to you! Because... she knew best whether she truly belonged to the Dragon Clan!"
