Chapter 1001: then translation of chapter title

Although before Lin Feng could answer, they both had already guessed the general situation.

But even now, hearing it with their own ears, they still couldn't help feeling their bodies go weak wave after wave.

And Lin Feng, regarding this situation, could only quietly wait for them to recover.

"Then why do we have to cooperate with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"

After a long while, the Three-Star Dou Saint expert of the Ancient Dragon Clan immediately asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "Because your Old Dragon Emperor wants to successfully achieve his goal, he can only cooperate with them. As for other races, either they won't bother with you, or we're both unfamiliar with them. After weighing the options, I think only the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is easier to win over."

"Of course, I also have some methods that can deal with them, which is the reason."

While speaking, Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and continued: "As for the reason, later I'll bring Zi Yan to find her father, and she will naturally understand everything. Now I'm telling you this so you can be mentally prepared."

"Are you that sure that once the Ancient Seven Clans get the news, they'll act against the Old Dragon Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Dragon Clan expert furrowed his brows, his tone filled with dislike for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

"This is easy, senior, just think: on the Dou Qi Continent, what could make your Old Dragon Emperor value it so much that he personally leads people there? And who could keep him tightly trapped there for several thousand years without letting him out?"

Lin Feng spread his hands, his face calm as he asked.

"Hmm?"

As soon as the former's words fell, the Ancient Dragon Clan expert and Elder Chu Li immediately thought of something, their eyes widening like copper bells.

Immediately after, Elder Chu Li's voice trembled, yet also filled with longing as he said: "You mean the Old Dragon Emperor discovered."

"Eh, you just need to know it in your hearts."

Seeing this, Lin Feng stopped him from continuing.

Upon hearing that, Elder Chu Li and the Ancient Dragon Clan expert both fell silent in unison.

If that's truly the case, then the Old Dragon Emperor's earlier disappearance and all those other matters would make sense.

Immediately after, Elder Chu Li murmured: "No wonder we couldn't find it; if it really is a method left by an expert of that level, then everything makes sense."

"Regarding this matter, I hope you don't tell anyone else, not even your own kin. After all, once this news gets out, we won't be able to participate."

Immediately after, Lin Feng looked at the two, his expression grave as he continued: "After all, aside from me, only the two of you know this news on the Zhongzhou Continent. Later, after Zi Yan emerges from seclusion, I will bring her to see the Old Dragon Emperor."

"No problem."

Seeing this, Elder Chu Li and the two likewise nodded gravely, indicating understanding.

But immediately after, the Ancient Dragon Clan expert spoke up: "Then, regarding your earlier suggestion to cooperate with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, how do we ensure they obey? Otherwise, if they have any dissatisfaction and expose this, what do we do? Moreover, what is the significance of our cooperation with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"

Upon hearing that, Elder Chu Li immediately raised his head, likewise looking at Lin Feng, waiting for his answer.

"Don't worry, I have some methods in hand to restrain the Heavenly Demon Phoenix; once I've dealt with them, you'll know."

Thinking of Feng'er and the consciousness of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan patriarch in his mind, Lin Feng immediately smiled confidently.

Having said that, he immediately narrowed his eyes and continued: "As for the significance of cooperation, it's that to rescue your Old Dragon Emperor, we must gather eight pieces of Shatuo Ancient Emperor Jade, then open"

Having said that, Lin Feng did not continue.

After all, he wasn't saying all this for no reason; he merely wanted to unite the Void Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

If this time he hadn't discovered the remnant soul of the former Heavenly Phoenix Clan patriarch, possessing the means to restrain the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and wanted to quickly unite the two clans, he might not have said any of this.

He would merely, after Zi Yan emerges from seclusion, immediately and silently bring that girl down to the subterranean world beneath the Jia Nan Academy.

Upon hearing the words "Shatuo Ancient Emperor Jade", the Ancient Dragon Clan expert and Elder Chu Li were stunned in place.

Because they had never even seen that thing before!

However, upon hearing that name, the two immediately began to ponder it carefully.

Soon after, the two seemed to recall something, their expressions turning horrified.

Although they had never seen this thing, from the name it appears to be greatly connected to the peerless Dou Emperor expert from ten thousand years ago, Shatuo Ancient Emperor.

It might even be a key to some inheritance left by Shatuo Ancient Emperor!

Upon thinking this, the two involuntarily looked at Lin Feng, a flash of ruthlessness in their eyes, saying: "Lin Feng, do you know who possesses that thing? Let's go seize it back!"

"The Ancient Eight Clans."

Gazing at the two with killing intent flashing in their eyes, Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and uttered those four words that cause countless experts across the continent to tremble at hearing them.

Upon hearing that, Elder Chu Li instinctively said: "The Ancient Eight Clans—I never expected them to be so lucky as to obtain such a supreme treasure. Then we'll go wipe them out and seize that Shatuo Ancient Emperor Jade."

Immediately after, the former suddenly paused, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief, saying: "You mean the Gu, Hun, Yan, Lei, Yao, Shi, and Ling families?"

Meanwhile, as they spoke, Elder Chu Li and the Ancient Dragon Clan expert stared intently at Lin Feng, desperately hoping he would shake his head.

After all, for other forces, they have confidence in dealing with them.

But when it comes to those few great Dou Emperor families, their Ancient Dragon Clan has no way at all.

Because even the weakest Spirit Clan, as long as they remain in their own small world,

their six-star Dou Saint peak clan chief, plus the Spirit Emperor personally setting up the grand protective formation back then,

even if an Eight-Star Dou Saint went, they could only return in disgrace.

"That's right."

Lin Feng lightly nodded, shattering their fantasy.

"This this."

Seeing the outcome they least wanted appear, Elder Chu Li and the Ancient Dragon Clan expert's bodies instantly went limp.

Their Ancient Dragon Clan lost too much strength in that upheaval several thousand years ago.

Now letting them attack the Ancient Eight or Ancient Seven clans—isn't that courting death?

Moreover, even if they could wipe out those seven great clans.

Now, whether the Xiao clan's bloodline still exists is unknown; how would they find it?

Meanwhile, Lin Feng timely spoke up: "So I recommend joining forces with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, after all they don't know the specific details, and later we'll just casually give them a bit of something. And since your Old Dragon Emperor knows the location and the identity of the cave abode master, he surely knows other things as well, so joining forces would still benefit the Ancient Dragon Clan."

While speaking, Lin Feng also showed an utterly indifferent demeanor.

As for the cultivation technique he practiced, it was the same as that of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, which he deliberately concealed.

Upon hearing that, the ancient dragon clan expert and Elder Chu Li exchanged a glance.

After a long while, that ancient dragon clan expert finally spoke: "That's fine; as long as you can restrain the Sky Demon Phoenix clan, our ancient dragon clan can set aside other matters and temporarily cooperate with him. As for the others in the clan, I will find a way to temporarily stabilize them; once you bring the Dragon Emperor to see the old Dragon Empress, the internal dissent will naturally be resolved."

Although he greatly disliked the Sky Demon Phoenix clan, thinking of his old Dragon Emperor's situation,

This ancient dragon clan expert, after pondering, still chose to temporarily endure.

After all, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's jade concerns the Dou Emperor's inheritance; the people of the ancient seven clans would not lightly hand it over.

After thinking it over, they could only choose to cooperate with the Sky Demon Phoenix clan to increase their chances of success.

Even so, their success rate remained low.

As for Elder Chu Li, upon hearing his companion's words, he likewise nodded in agreement.

"Good."

Seeing the former's agreement, Lin Feng also smiled satisfactorily.

His reason for saying all that to the former was nothing more than to let the ancient dragon clan temporarily set aside its hatred and cooperate with the Sky Demon Phoenix clan, right?

And the other party now is indeed exactly as he had thought.

Stimulated by the Dou Emperor's inheritance and helpless at being unable to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's jade, Elder Chu Li and that ancient dragon clan expert are willing to first set aside their grudges and join forces with the Sky Demon Phoenix clan.

"In that case, let's first send the Dragon Emperor's Seal back."

Saying that, the ancient dragon clan expert intended to turn and leave.

At this moment, the joy he had felt upon previously obtaining the Dragon Emperor's Seal has largely faded.

After all, the Dragon Emperor's Seal has returned, but their old Dragon Emperor's liberation remains distant and uncertain.

This situation truly leaves them unable to muster spirits.

"Wait, senior, I still have something unsaid!"

Seeing that they were about to leave, Lin Feng hurriedly called out to stop the two ancient dragon clan members who wanted to go.

And upon hearing his shout, Elder Chu Li immediately turned back, puzzled, asking: "Lin Feng, what else do you have?"

"Uh, it's just that I was previously attacked; although that matter has temporarily been settled, that guy's girlfriend is actually the daughter of the Ancient Clan chief, Gu Yuan. In front of everyone, she invited me to participate in the Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony, and I couldn't refuse the Ancient Clan's face, so I was forced to agree to attend."

Saying this, Lin Feng scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said: "So I'd like to ask one of you to accompany me; that way, the Ancient Clan will also have some reservations and dare not act lightly against me."

"No problem; when you go, just use this to notify me, and then I'll go with you to the Ancient Clan."

Upon hearing that, the ancient dragon clan expert clenched his palm in the air, and a palm-sized jade slip quickly formed.

Immediately afterward, he threw it, tossing it toward Lin Feng.

After all, the ancient dragon clan's binding with him has become increasingly deep.

This trip, he is probably doomed to run.

"Then it will be troublesome, senior."

Looking at the jade slip swiftly approaching, Lin Feng's heart instantly leapt with joy; he quickly extended his hand to catch it, then clasped his hands and said.

"It's fine; when the time comes, I'll just go move around a bit—I've been waiting in that void for thousands of years, and I'm almost forgetting what the outside world looks like."

The ancient dragon clan expert waved his hand, then left with Elder Chu Li.

The two turned into streaks of light and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared from Lin Feng's sight.

"Having a Battle Saint expert from the ancient dragon clan accompany me, my safety when going to the Ancient Clan later is no longer a concern; I've finally resolved a major problem."

Gazing at the jade slip in his hand, Lin Feng let out a great sigh of relief.

That crazy woman Gu Xun'er, although she wanted to help her brother Xiao Yan kill me, but with the ancient dragon clan's Battle Saint expert personally accompanying me, the high-level members of the Ancient Clan clearly understand what this signifies.

Therefore, even if Gu Xun'er causes trouble, the Ancient Clan's high-level will draw a red line and not let her go too far.

And after that, Lin Feng's mind immediately pondered, thinking to himself: "Now that I have an ancient dragon clan expert accompanying me, the trip to the Ancient Clan temporarily needs no worry. As for Feng'er, she won't be leaving seclusion anytime soon, and the Zhao family said this morning they still need some time to prepare pills; so I'll go take a look at that Battle Saint relic."

Recalling the address of the Battle Saint relic he obtained at Dan Yi Tian earlier, Lin Feng decided in his heart to first go there for a look.

After all, that Battle Saint expert in life was a top-tier expert far stronger than a Creation Saint.

Perhaps, aside from that golden strange fire, he could also obtain other good things.

"By the way, I haven't brought Yun'er along except for adventures; why not bring her this time?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng felt that Yun Yun now possesses the strength of a Battle Venerable; plus, he will obtain from Lue Feng Zunzhe's ring several decent-quality battle techniques, as well as the Earth Tier peak movement skill Micro Light Fleeting Shadow, all of which he gave her.

Moreover, the several human puppets in his hand are likewise given to Yun'er.

Thus, even if they encounter some high-ranking Battle Venerables, Yun Yun can still rely on the puppets to temporarily block them, while he seizes the chance to escape.

"Or I should bring him along as well; after all, she's followed me for so long, and I've never taken her out."

Thinking this through, Lin Feng's heart then made a decision.

Subsequently, his figure flashed and instantly vanished from the spot.

At the junction of the western part of Central State's Eastern Region and the Southern Region, this place can be considered a location in Central State where living beings are relatively sparse.

Although this area has many mountain ranges, compared to Central State's Eastern Region, its Dou Qi concentration is not particularly rich, and its resources are likewise not as abundant as the Eastern Region's.

Even by comparison, it can be considered somewhat poor.

And precisely because of this, the overlord of the Eastern Region, the Ancient Clan, basically maintains an attitude of indifferent neglect toward this region.

Of course, although this Ancient Clan, a wealthy and powerful ancient force, doesn't really look down on it.

But the many great and small powers of Central State are all very envious of it.

Because for these forces, this place has relatively rich Dou Qi and decent resources, thus it can also be considered an excellent parcel of land.

However, unfortunately, because this place is too close to the Ancient Clan's territory, the Ancient Clan does not allow other forces to station there arbitrarily.

Even in some small forces of Central State, due to not knowing the reason of the Ancient Clan, they consequently had their entire sect annihilated to ashes and smoke.

Over time, no other forces dared to rashly enter this strange place.
