Chapter 1966: Finally Meeting

Many cultivators gathered around, but few had any thoughts about the Ancient Dragon True Blood.

Even if someone did, it was just a fleeting thought; after all, everyone knows their own limits.

More people were anticipating the imminent outbreak of a great battle among the Yāoniè.

Around the True Dragon Blood Pool, although many had gathered, it was not noisy; everyone remained silent.

Among the several top Yāoniè in the Immortal Realm, Tianlin was considered relatively mild-tempered.

Regardless of what he thought inside, his outward conduct remained graceful and dignified, bearing the demeanor of a noble.

Yet no matter how gentle his personality, the other party was still a top-tier Yāoniè.

Moreover, in the special environment of the Ancient Dragon Battlefield, no one dared to offend him.

After all, Tianlin kills people cleanly and decisively.

As time passed bit by bit, some were already waiting with eyes strained to the limit.

They couldn't help muttering quietly to the person beside them.

"Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Yeah, could it really be that he's scared, even giving up on the Ancient Dragon True Blood?"

"No way, this is the premier treasure within the Ancient Dragon Battlefield; if there's a chance, why not fight for it?"

"I say you're not just talking nonsense; where did these people come from? Do you think top Yāoniè are like rotten cabbage on the street, appearing whenever you say so?"

"Exactly; in past eras, producing one top Yāoniè per age was already good, and some eras had none."

"Besides, in this age of great contention, only among the major powers do top Yāoniè appear one after another; I don't believe that a top Yāoniè would just pop up out of nowhere, especially from the Cooking King Immortal City."

Ye Zhangqing remained unseen for a long time, so those who had not witnessed his demeanor at the entrance began to doubt.

Their knowledge of Ye Zhangqing came entirely from hearsay.

Killing the Pill King Immortal City's Young City Lord single-handedly, the Jiao Hua group, and even forcing the Pill King Immortal City's Elder to rebel on the spot, etc.

It sounds impressive, but no one who hasn't seen it knows whether it's true or false.

Only a white-haired elder in the crowd, upon hearing these words, turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Just then, someone nearby whispered a question.

"Are they telling the truth? You old fool, did you really defect?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the elder glared angrily, disregarding years of camaraderie, and coldly shouted.

"Get lost."

Huh???

However, his reaction only made the questioner believe him more.

After all, he was anxious; if nothing had happened, why would he be anxious? So this is likely true.

But as the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is false; those who have never seen Ye Zhangqing, no matter how much they hear from him, still harbor doubts.

Especially since they were full of anticipation, hoping to finally witness a great battle between top Yāoniè today.

Yet after waiting several days with no sign of Ye Zhangqing, their suspicions naturally grew stronger.

The number of disbelievers also increased.

Later on, those who had seen Ye Zhangqing's demeanor at the entrance simply stopped bothering to say more.

After all, saying more wouldn't help; the truth would become clear in time.

Yet these people also wondered, with the Ancient Dragon True Blood about to emerge, why hasn't he come? Could he really not be coming?

Is he scared or unaware of the Ancient Dragon True Blood? But that shouldn't be—Tang Xin has entered the Ancient Dragon Battlefield before and knows about the Ancient Dragon True Blood.

So is he afraid?

Yet with such talent, he should have the ambition to fear nothing under heaven; without this spirit, how could he later rise to the pinnacle and overwhelm the world?

Other top Yāoniè—who among them does not harbor lofty ambitions and possess overwhelming spirit?

This too is a necessary quality of top Yāoniè: fearing no challenge.

If even this spirit is lacking, his future achievements will not be great.

Just as everyone was lost in speculation, the True Dragon Blood Pool, which had always been calm, suddenly surged like boiling water, bubbling up.

The crimson pool water kept bubbling, while a waft of blood qi slowly drifted out like mist.

Facing this change in the True Dragon Blood Pool, those present did not panic.

Because this is a sign that the Ancient Dragon True Blood is about to emerge; there's no need for alarm.

And Tianlin, who had been sitting cross-legged in the heavens with eyes closed, sensing the change in the True Dragon Blood Pool below, slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was calm, undisturbed, showing no excitement at the emergence of the Ancient Dragon True Blood.

In his view, this was simply his own thing appearing; taking it was natural—what was there to get excited about?

"The Ancient Dragon True Blood is about to emerge."

"Heh, in the end he still hasn't shown up, yet dares to call himself a top Yāoniè—what a joke."

"Regardless of whether what you say is true or false, just this spirit, compared to the Heavenly Family's young master, is worlds apart, incomparable."

"They've wasted several days for nothing."

Under everyone's gaze, within the True Dragon Blood Pool, a fist-sized cluster of deep-red blood, as if contained by an invisible vessel, slowly rose from the pool and floated above it.

In midair, one could still sense the blood flowing; this blood mass is the Ancient Dragon True Blood.

Faced with the finally emerged Ancient Dragon True Blood, those present indeed did not step forward.

At this moment, stepping forward would be courting death; Tianlin won't care who you are—whoever dares to covet the Ancient Dragon True Blood is seeking death, end of story.

So everyone stood still in place, motionless, quietly watching Tianlin take the Ancient Dragon True Blood.

As the Ancient Dragon True Blood emerged, those who had previously seen Ye Zhangqing now held no hope anymore.

He really didn't appear; was he scared?

I have to say, I can't help feeling a little disappointed; after all, they had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.

However, just as Tianlin was about to collect this ancient dragon's true blood, several streams of light rushed in from the horizon.

At the same time, a complaining voice came over.

I said there wasn't enough time, but you insisted on messing with those two dragon seeds—what are we supposed to do with these ancient dragon true blood now that they've been taken?

Senior sister, don't worry—we've taken it, it's fine, isn't there still time?

Sigh, I really don't know what you need so many dragon seeds for.

The demand in my hometown is huge.

Alright, then when your hometown folks come, I'll prepare meals for them to help them break through.

Then thank you, senior sister.

I'm just flattering you, junior brother—just don't forget me later, eh.......... junior brother, the ancient dragon true blood is still here, haha, we made it in time.

I said there's no rush, senior sister—you've been panicking all the way, but this ancient dragon true blood won't run away.

Fine, fine, fine—I can't argue with you, so now I ask you, junior brother, to help senior sister take this ancient dragon true blood.

I will obey senior sister's orders.

You've got a sharp tongue.
