The entire venue was oppressively silent.

The three Elders sat upright, their eyes fixed on Fang Yu. Though they did not speak, their sheer presence was enough to make anyone feel an overwhelming sense of pressure.

After a long silence.

The Elder in the middle, Feng Wutian, spoke:

"This has always been taboo for our Dragon Clan... As a member of the Fifth Class Dragon Clan, you have been so bold, you deserve to die. However, considering you brought back the Secret Realm Energy, we will not hold it against you. The rise of the Dragon Soul Power must truly possess the genuine Dragon Bloodline, this is no lie... I have contributed to the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land my whole life. For millennia, the Dragon Clan has been headless. As the saying goes, a kingdom cannot go a day without a monarch; it's time to find a new Dragon Emperor! This Secret Realm Energy will help the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land find the True Dragon Emperor who bears the Dragon Bloodline!"

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu secretly pondered, meaning that the one truly able to inherit the Dragon Emperor's throne must harbor the genuine Dragon Bloodline within them. These individuals, though part of the Dragon Clan, do not possess the true Dragon Bloodline, so why do they need this Secret Realm Energy? Could there be some conspiracy?

This is equivalent to saying that the one who can fully utilize the Energy is the legitimate royal lineage... while these three Elders and other members of the Dragon Clan can only count as relatives by marriage, not direct royal bloodline.

The three Elders have governed the Dragon Clan for so long, yet the legitimate royal bloodline of the Dragon Clan has never been found.

Clearly, they have their personal agendas.

The Second Elder, Feng Wenfeng, said slowly:

"Young man, are you willing to sacrifice your own interest for the greater good, to revitalize the Dragon Clan by offering up this millennial Secret Realm Energy?"

Fang Yu scratched his head and said, "Sacrifice?"

The Third Elder, Feng Shanshui, looked somewhat stern, and said coldly: "Does a puny Fifth Class Dragon Clan member have a choice? Wouldn't my great General Ao Jiang die in vain otherwise?"

"Third Elder, I deeply regret Ao Jiang's death. He made such contributions to the Dragon Clan that his achievements will be remembered by all in the Dragon Clan... This Secret Realm Energy is involved in much. As the Great Elder, I must uphold justice. I will diligently and properly safeguard this millennial Secret Realm Energy!" Feng Wutian stood up with his hands behind his back.

"Great Elder, you are mistaken... The three of us agreed back then that whoever acquired this Secret Realm Energy would be the one to manage it. Now that the Energy is back, Ao Jiang has the most credit, and Ao Jiang is my great General. Shouldn't it be me who manages the Energy?" Countered the Third Elder, Feng Shanshui.

"Third Elder... With Ao Jiang dead, does Ao Qing and Aoguang not have any credit? It is true that the dead deserve respect, but do not be so presumptuous as to erase the merits of Ao Qing and Aoguang!" said the Second Elder, Feng Wenfeng.

"Confusing right and wrong!"

Feng Shanshui stood up as well.

The dialogue between the three immediately became explosive.

It's not surprising that today is just a small meeting!

Rather than being presided over by people from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Everyone present knew this could concern the future of the Dragon Clan. No one spoke, nor dared to speak.

The Third Elder, Feng Shanshui, said again: "Second Elder, how can you guarantee that the Great Elder can properly manage this Secret Realm Energy?" Meanwhile, looking at the Great Elder, "Great Elder, how can you ensure the Second Elder can manage this Energy?"

The three of them exchanged a glance.

The balance among the three has always been an issue.

None of them trust each other, and none dare to easily side with the others.

The Great Elder, Feng Wutian, said: "In that case, the old rule remains, let him choose..."

Everyone looked at Fang Yu.

Ao Qing nodded slightly.

It turns out it has come to this point.

"Alright, young man, although you belong to the Fifth Class Dragon Clan, the lowest bloodline of the Dragon Clan, according to the rules, you still have the right of selection in the Dragon Clan! I, along with the other two Elders, hold the power of life and death in the Dragon Clan. You may make your choice. I ask you, who do you wish to follow?" Feng Wutian's gaze turned deep, landing on Fang Yu.

An invisible pressure approached.

Fang Yu was a bit baffled.

This Dragon Sleep Sacred Land likely doesn't have many who genuinely wish to follow the rightful lineage of the Dragon Clan.

The internal power and resources had long been divvied up by the three Great Elders.

Ao Qing slightly lowered his head, signaling to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu cupped his hands and said: "The three Elders truly are virtuous and loyal to the Dragon Clan, a sincerity as visible as the sun and moon. Although I am just a Fifth Class Dragon Clan member, I am touched by the three of your sincerity! Originally, I had my selfish motives! But hearing the words of the three Elders today made me realize how foolish I was! Before making this choice, there is something I want to confess to the three Elders, I wonder if I should speak!"

Everyone looked at each other.

What matter could a mere Fifth Class Dragon Clan member have?

This is simply outrageous.

Yet, who let the Secret Realm Energy be in his possession!

The Great Elder Feng Wutian said, without a change in expression, "Speak."

"The Great Elder is wise!"

Fang Yu's voice grew considerably louder and continued, "I want to confess! Ao Qing and Aoguang threatened me!"

"Dan Yu, stop talking nonsense!" Ao Qing's face changed dramatically!

"Elders, please uphold justice for me!" Fang Yu quickly cupped his hands.

Threats?

Ao Qing belonged to the Great Elder, and Aoguang belonged to the Second Elder! If they threatened Fang Yu, the one harmed would naturally be the Third Elder's interests.

The Third Elder figured out the trick—

Bang!

Lifting his hand, he slammed the table, splitting it in half, saying, "Let him speak! I'd like to see who dares to stop him?"

All was silent.

At this point, could they stop it?

Fang Yu continued: "Ao Qing and Aoguang threatened me, framed me... making me choose between the Great Elder and the Second Elder! Also, I didn't kill Ao Jiang! Lord Ao Jiang was a Fake Saint, in order to seize the Secret Realm Energy from me, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice the Holy Artifact, but was intercepted in the middle by Ao Qing and Aoguang, they killed to silence him, and threatened me not to speak, or they would punish me for the great crime of killing a clansman!"

As soon as he said this.

The Third Elder widened his eyes.

The Great Elder Feng Wutian and the Second Elder Feng Wenfeng's faces changed slightly.

"Innocent!"

"Elder, don't be angry, this kid is talking nonsense, spewing nonsense!"

Fang Yu laughed, "The facts are in front of you! Ao Jiang's body, it's on Tiandu Mountain! The three Elders can send someone to investigate what Primoridal Qi smashed through his viscera! Additionally, even if I tried my best, my strength only reached the Epic Realm, even ten of me combined wouldn't be a match for a Fake Saint! The three Elders, please see clearly!"

Boom!

This time, before the Third Elder could get angry.

The Great Elder Feng Wutian blasted Ao Qing away with one palm!

"Audacious! I trusted you in vain, how dare you commit such rebellious acts, betraying the Dragon Clan!"

He didn't lay hands on Aoguang, that was the Second Elder's affair.

But evidently, reaching this point, the Second Elder could only say solemnly: "The Great Elder is the head of the Elders, let you deal with it!"

"Alright!"

Feng Wutian said sternly, "Third Elder, the death of Ao Jiang, I will certainly get justice for you if what this boy says is true! I'll kill them with my own hands!"

Only then did the Third Elder stand up, with a peculiar tone:

"I see! So it was a collusion crime! What about the old rules! You two combined efforts to fool me?"

"Third Elder, what are you saying! We didn't even know about this!" said Feng Wenfeng.

As their conflict seemed irreconcilable.

Fang Yu couldn't help but sneer internally. What a bunch of ingrates!

A moment later.

Feng Wutian snorted coldly, saying: "Since the two Elders feel it's biased, then let it be a live sacrifice!"

"Alright! A live sacrifice then!"
