Chapter 2841: Dragon Clan Recognition

The Secret Realm of Dragon Soul Valley was, by chance, taken by Fang Sihai into the Space World, but it has never been fully refined.

Therefore it lacks complete control, and entering it still carries some danger.

Ye Liuyun follows Long Nv and the others for this reason, fearing they might encounter mishaps.

Otherwise, he would not have gone in with them.

This place is filled with Dragon Soul, and he has no expectations; as for treasure, he could simply leave it to Lei Ming and the others to collect.

The moment they entered Dragon Soul Valley, they sensed a chilling gloom, feeling as if they had stepped into the Underworld.

Ye Liuyun thought: "I wonder if my status as the Underworld's lord might cause these Dragon Souls to restrain themselves and not attack us recklessly."

Moreover, given the environment here, if any accident occurs, he could still use the Black Tower's transmission to the Underworld to bring reinforcements.

Long Nv, Lei Ming, and the Nine-headed Demon Dragon were all affected by the atmosphere here, daring not to speak loudly and walking cautiously.

"The dragon qi here is abundant!"

Long Nv sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

"You should reveal your true forms; that will make it easier for the Dragon Souls here to recognize you."

Ye Liuyun reminded them.

Thus, they immediately manifested their true forms; Ye Liuyun rode the Nine-headed Demon Dragon and flew with them toward the depths of the Secret Realm.

Looking down from the sky allowed him to see the entire situation of the Secret Realm more clearly.

In the distance he saw a massive burial mound, likely a gathering place for Dragon Souls, with a Grand Hall nearby that resembled a ceremonial hall.

Ye Liuyun sent Long Nv and the others to fly there and see if anything could be discovered.

He fully opened his Divine Sense, yet found walls everywhere.

There are too many powerful Dragon Souls inside, so Divine Sense cannot probe anything.

His Golden Pupil also fully activated, allowing him to see that each burial mound contains a true dragon.

Many true dragons' Physical Bodies remain intact, and their Divine Soul Power is still present.

If those dragon bodies still had breath, Ye Liuyun would have thought they were merely sleeping.

There is no treasure within the burial mounds.

Those treasures are concentrated in caves within several distant mountain ranges, which contain many rare cultivation resources.

After activating his Golden Pupil, he also saw five powerful true dragon souls perched above the distant Grand Hall and in the sky, each a different color, watching them.

Ye Liuyun also did not know their attitude toward Long Nv and the others, so he could only wait until they got closer.

"Stop!"

Long Nv and the others were halted by Ye Liuyun before they could fly into the Grand Hall.

In fact, since Lei Ming refined the Foreign Tribe's three eyes, her Golden Pupil can also see souls.

Thus she was the first to stop.

The Nine-headed Demon Dragon lacks the foundation for a Golden Pupil, so it cannot see those souls.

It and Long Nv continued to look around.

Ye Liuyun then bowed to the five dragon souls and said sincerely: "Honored true dragon seniors, junior Ye Liuyun, bringing a few young Dragon Clan members here to seek opportunity, if we disturb your cultivation, please indicate it and we will leave at once, but please do not harm us!"

"Eh?

Can you see us?"

The Golden Dragon perched above the Grand Hall, with an ancient voice, began communicating with Ye Liuyun.

"Yes! Not only I can, but that Thunder Dragon Beast can also see all of you seniors."

Ye Liuyun replied politely.

The five true dragon souls, however, examined them with surprise.

A white dragon soul then asked Ye Liuyun: "What is the aura on your body, and the smell of Dragon Breath?"

"And the human who claimed this Secret Realm?"

"Was it he who let you in?"

When Ye Liuyun heard his question, he recalled that he had once been given Dragon Breath by Ao Ding.

He immediately replied truthfully and told the dragon souls that Fang Sihai had already been marked with a Slave Seal, putting him under control.

However, he did not mention his status as the lord of the Underworld.

Those dragon souls only sensed that Ye Liuyun's Soul gave them a feeling of awe, without associating him with the Underworld.

"Why do those few also have a Divine Soul Contract with you?

Did you also control them?"

A blue dragon soul also asked Ye Liuyun.

"The Black Dragon and the Thunder Dragon Beast have already taken human form; they are my women.

The contract I signed with them is an equal one, facilitating our communication.

This Nine-headed Demon Dragon is indeed one I have subjugated."

Ye Liuyun recounted honestly, seeing no need to lie.

These matters are evident to the dragon souls upon inspection.

In his mind he also gauged the strength of several dragon souls, finding them indeed far stronger than himself, yet he was not without the power to fight.

Several dragon souls then separately communicated with Long Nv and Lei Ming, presumably to verify information; afterward they all showed surprised expressions, gathered, and used Transmission Voice to discuss.

Ye Liuyun remained still, silently awaiting the outcome of their discussion.

After a while, the Golden Dragon spoke to Ye Liuyun again, but its tone was much more courteous.

"Can you summon the Dragon Clan's Clan Chief, Ao Ding, here?

We have questions for him!"

"Alright, seniors, wait a moment; I'll go find him right away."

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he used his Divine Sense to communicate with Ao Ding inside the Space World, and explained the situation here in Dragon Soul Valley to Ao Ding.

Ao Ding, of course, also wanted to see those Dragon Souls, so he immediately agreed, and was moved out of the Space World by Ye Liuyun to meet the five Dragon Souls.

This time the five Dragon Souls did not use Transmission Voice, but communicated directly with Ao Ding.

"We are the Five‑Colored Divine Dragon Elders of the Dragon Clan.

Which world's Dragon Clan are you from?

How is the situation within your clan…?"

The Dragon Clan, as a powerful race, was once glorious, a symbol of great strength, and of course is distributed across various Xing Xi and Xingqiu.

So Ao Ding chatted with them for a while, yet still couldn't determine which branch each belonged to.

However, after those Dragon Souls learned about the scale of Ao Ding's Dragon Clan, they were evidently excited.

"Who would have thought the Dragon Clan still preserved so many of your descendants! We thought the Dragon Clan was on the brink of extinction!"

Their tone was also filled with vicissitudes and emotion.

Then they recounted the history of their tribe: originally they led the Beast Clan in opposition to humans, but later were betrayed by the Beast Clan, and the Dragon Clan was slain by humans.

This is the burial ground of that branch of the Dragon Clan, yet they do not know what has happened outside.

They only know that for a long time no corpses of clan members have been brought in.

Later it fell into Fang Sihai's hands.

Fang Sihai promised to help them search for the Dragon Clan, but there has been no result; in fact, he was merely stringing them along.

As for which Xing Xi they came from, Ye Liuyun and the others had never even heard of it.

This Space Secret Realm, it is unknown how far it has drifted in Xingkong, nor how many years have passed; perhaps their original Dragon Clan was already extinct.

But since they are all Dragon Clan, these Dragon Souls have finally found their roots.
