Chapter 211: Zhu Kun

"Your Excellency, this place is..." Zhu Huo frowned as he looked at the world of magma surrounding him. Although it appeared no different from ordinary magma, he sensed something unusual.

If it were only himself, that would be one thing, but Zhu Huo had the hope of their Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan by his side; he could not afford any risks.

Xiao Shu Ting

"Rest assured." Xiao Han asked while moving downward:

"This little girl should be a descendant of your Dragon Emperor, right?"

"That is correct!"

The Dragon Emperor bloodline is truly passed down through a single line. Zi Yan, possessing the Dragon Emperor bloodline, can only be the direct descendant of the Dragon Emperor, and she is absolutely the offspring of the Old Dragon Emperor from back then. Otherwise, once mixed with other bloodlines, she would become a Pseudo-King bloodline like the Three Great Dragon Kings.

"Then have you never considered why Zi Yan would appear in the Black-Corner Region?" Xiao Han analyzed.

"Your Old Dragon Emperor could not possibly have intentionally abandoned his own offspring. Even if he had matters that required him to leave, he would not have gone too far..."

"So..." Zhu Huo suddenly understood what Xiao Han meant. The Dragon Emperor is in the Black-Corner Region!

"I have studied the strength of your Dragon Emperor back then. With a cultivation at the late stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he was absolutely the peak powerhouse of the entire Dou Qi Continent at that time. How could he have disappeared for no reason?"

"And who would have the strength to make him disappear?"

"With his peerless strength, combined with the exceptionally long lifespan brought by the constitution of a Magic Beast, the possibility of your Old Dragon Emperor being alive is very high."

Xiao Han continued: "And then..."

"I found this place." Xiao Han gestured toward the front.

Zhu Huo also looked at the crimson world ahead with a grave expression.

He had not noticed it just now, but as they approached this area, a strange spatial fluctuation emanated out. "This is an independent space?!"

Zhu Huo's tone was mixed with suspicion and shock. He did not believe that Jia Nan Academy had the ability to create such a space.

Since it was not them, then who was it?

"Are you ready? We are going in." Xiao Han said with his back to Zhu Huo, his eyes fixed on the world ahead.

"Your Excellency, will there really be no danger?"

Zhu Huo was still somewhat worried. With the two of them, both Dou Sheng, joining forces, they could basically resolve most troubles, but there was still little Zi Yan by his side, who would be finished if she were even touched!

If any harm were to come to this little ancestor, he would be unable to atone for his crime even with ten thousand deaths!

"Hmm..." Xiao Han pondered for a moment. "You can first send this little girl to the surface, and we can talk after confirming she is safe. How about that?"

"No problem." Zhu Huo agreed readily. He directly brought Zi Yan, who had been in a dazed state, up to be settled, and then returned again.

"Let's go!" When Zhu Huo arrived again, Xiao Han directly called for them to leave. Xiao Han led the way in front, and Zhu Huo followed closely behind.

The two went deeper for a while, when suddenly a team of lizardmen blocked their path ahead.

The two older-looking lizardmen in the lead shouted sternly:

"Intruders, leave at once, otherwise, die!"

At this moment, Xiao Han and the other finally stopped their steps.

Zhu Huo looked at the strange creatures in front with astonishment. Not a single one of this team of creatures was below the Dou Zun realm, and the two in the lead were actually Half-Saints.

This was only because their strength was high enough; if it had been anyone else who came here, they would likely have died with regret.

"Heh heh~" Xiao Han sneered a few times. "Just based on you lot, you are worthy!"

As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Han directly injected his Dou Qi into the scalding magma, and subsequently, this world of magma completely changed its appearance, becoming a kingdom of ice and snow.

As for those lizardmen blocking the way in front, they had long since been frozen into ice sculptures, with deep disbelief still lingering in their eyes.

"Your Excellency truly has great methods!" Zhu Huo praised him sincerely. Although he could also easily finish off these road-blockers, he could not achieve the effect of changing the world just by using a bit of Dou Qi like Xiao Han.

"Let's continue!" Xiao Han did not show much reaction; he was joking, it was just a matter of waving his hand.

However, the commotion caused by Xiao Han here had a huge impact on Jia Nan Academy at this moment.

From the moment Xiao Han froze the magma world, all the Inner Academy students cultivating in the Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower suddenly felt that it had lost its effect, and even felt a trace of chill.

And this situation was quickly reported to the Elders, followed by another scene of chaos.

The moment Xiao Han passed through the magma environment and entered the true cave dwelling space, a huge black shadow suddenly attacked him.

Xiao Han's pupils shrank, and he only just managed to condense an Ice Spear to hold in front of him. The huge claw shadow appeared in front of Xiao Han instantly, destroying Xiao Han's defense in one blow and sending him flying hundreds of feet away.

"Cough~" Xiao Han coughed a few times, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the Frost Armor condensed from the Extreme Cold Crystal on his body shattered inch by inch.

"The strength of an Eight-Star Dou Sheng mid-stage, not bad at all!" The black shadow commented.

"However..."

"Without the Ancient Emperor Jade, then stay here!" The buzzing voice of the figure rang out, filled with killing intent.

Xiao Han did not care about the other party's words. If he had not made full preparations, he would not have dared to come.

"As expected of the Old Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!" Xiao Han said softly.

Upon hearing this, the figure put down the attack he had prepared. Subsequently, in Xiao Han's eyes, the massive figure that had previously seemed boundless suddenly changed into the size of a person.

Without Xiao Han noticing, he suddenly appeared before him. What entered Xiao Han's eyes was a middle-aged man wearing purple-gold robes with a majestic demeanor.

"How did you know this Emperor's identity?" Zhu Kun looked at Xiao Han with a cold expression.

Xiao Han smiled slightly, and at this moment...

"Your Majesty, is it you? Your Majesty?" Zhu Huo's trembling voice rang out.

"Hmm?" Hearing Zhu Huo's words, Zhu Kun frowned and turned around, only to see a figure with tears streaming down his face.

From the bloodline, Zhu Kun could feel that the other party was a member of their Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. He then scrutinized the figure carefully and said in surprise:

"Are you that brat Zhu Huo?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, it is me!" Hearing Zhu Kun call his name, Zhu Huo appeared quite exhilarated and excited. "I am Zhu Huo!"

Zhu Huo immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhu Kun.

"Zhu Huo, why are you mixed up with this brat?" Since everyone was an acquaintance, especially since Zhu Huo was a clansman of Zhu Kun, the latter naturally let go of the killing intent in his heart. Signaling for Zhu Huo to rise, Zhu Kun asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Zhu Huo began to introduce Xiao Han. "This person is a benefactor of my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"

"Benefactor?" Zhu Kun frowned, "What is going on?"

Afterwards, Zhu Huo told Zhu Kun in detail about the series of events that had occurred after Zhu Kun disappeared, naturally including the matter of Xiao Han helping them find Zi Yan.

"Damn it!" After hearing Zhu Huo's account, Zhu Kun was furious.

"This Emperor knew those Three Great Dragon Kings were not peaceful things; if I had known, I should have killed those three rebellious subjects when I left the clan!"

Immediately, he shifted his gaze to Xiao Han and asked suspiciously, "How did you know that this Emperor was here?"

Although he was very grateful to Xiao Han for finding his daughter, from Zhu Huo's previous account, Zhu Kun could infer that Xiao Han had completely confirmed he was trapped in this world before charging in headlong.

Zhu Kun prided himself on his movements being secret, as even his own clansmen did not know where he was. Yet, this brat before him was clearly not even two hundred years old; how could he know his whereabouts?

"This is thanks to the daughter of Your Excellency, the Dragon Emperor!" Xiao Han had long since thought of a reason to explain, and he smiled slightly.

It is difficult to infer the result from the process, but it is not so when one knows the result and then infers the process.

"This Emperor's daughter?" Mentioning Zi Yan, Zhu Kun's expression softened significantly, "What does this have to do with Yan'er?"

Although he did not know how Zi Yan's name came to be, Zhu Kun felt no sense of incongruity when addressing her.

Next, Xiao Han recounted how he deduced that Zhu Kun was in the Black-Corner Region, used his Soul Power to radiate across the entire Black-Corner Region, and finally discovered the anomaly beneath the Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower.
