Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 475: Dragon Island Recent Situation
In the center of Donglong Island, a bluestone hall stands, exuding a heavy atmosphere accumulated over the years.

The bluestone hall is a thousand feet high, with eaves rising high, like a giant dragon with its head raised as if it is about to break through the clouds. The two stone pillars on both sides are carved with lifelike ancient dragon patterns, with their eyes wide open, as if they will come alive at any time.

The square in front of the temple is paved with bluestone, as smooth as a mirror, but it faintly reveals a mysterious fluctuation of power.

The hall was magnificent but a little dimly lit. The flickering candlelight created an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void in the center of the hall.

Under the gaze of the four Dou Sheng elders, the space in the center of the hall quickly twisted. In just a few blinks of an eye, a silver passage about ten feet in size slowly emerged.

Zi Yan took light steps and walked out of the passage slowly with Lin Yuan, Medusa and Qing Lin.

At this moment, she was wearing a purple and gold robe, with dragons and phoenixes swimming slowly on the hem of her skirt, exuding an awe-inspiring aura of dignity. An undisguised powerful aura spread out, like a towering ancient sacred mountain, which made people feel awe.

Feeling this captivating aura, Qingshan, Qingmu and Zhuli's eyes instantly showed fanaticism.

Qi You was not joking, he really had the bloodline of a highly developed royal family.

As for Qi You himself, besides being enthusiastic, there was also a bit of surprise in his eyes - Lord Dragon Emperor seemed to be much stronger than the last time they met.

With such a powerful talent, he is worthy of royal blood and the Supreme Dragon Phoenix.

"Welcome back, Lord Dragon Emperor!"

Great Elder Qingshan was the first to kneel on one knee, his voice full of excitement and respect, and the other three elders followed closely behind and saluted together.

Zi Yan looked calm, raised her hand slightly, and said, "Four elders, no need to be polite."

Her voice was cold and majestic, no longer as coquettish as when she was alone with Lin Yuan. At this moment, the girl's behavior revealed the pride of a king.

Such magnanimity also made the four elders more excited and gratified.

Lin Yuan smiled, took a step forward, and greeted the four elders simply and politely: "Four elders, long time no see, I hope you are well!"

Upon hearing this, the four elders stood up straight and greeted Lin Yuan very kindly.

“Long time no see, little friend Lin Yuan!” Zhu Li smiled slightly, with a look of deep gratitude on his face, and said: “Thank you for your Thunder Tribulation Pill. If it hadn’t brought me a hint of opportunity, I don’t know when I would be able to break through this Dou Sheng bottleneck that has trapped me for a hundred years…”

“Third Elder, you are too polite!” Lin Yuan waved his hand and chuckled, “You have already accumulated enough, and you only need the finishing touch. My Thunder Tribulation Pill just came at the right time.”

"No matter what, I owe you a big favor!" Zhu Li shook his head slightly and said seriously.

"but--"

He changed the subject, his voice more amused, "My favor should be used as soon as possible! Otherwise, with your speed of improvement, I, a beginner Dou Sheng, will soon be unable to help you!"

Having said that, Zhu Li's gaze swept across Lin Yuan, Qing Lin, and Medusa in turn, with deep admiration in his eyes.

The group's cultivation level is vastly different than it was a few years ago.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan just smiled calmly and said modestly: "Third Elder, you are too kind. Compared with the Dou Sheng strength of the elders, my strength... is still far behind!"

As they were talking, Medusa and Qinglin also came forward and greeted the four elders. While they were talking quietly, Zi Yan walked up the jade steps slowly and came to the throne in the center of the hall. She took a deep breath, turned around, and sat on the noble throne with a stern look.

The moment they sat down, the atmosphere in the entire hall became solemn and quiet in an instant.

Then, Zi Yan lowered her eyes to the four elders and said calmly, "Four elders, has the plan to defeat the rebels on the three islands been completed as planned?"

Hearing this, Great Elder Qingshan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Lord Dragon Emperor, everything is ready."

"Aoki has completely mastered the locations of the three islands, the west, south, and north."

"All the troops of East Dragon Island have been recalled and trained for several months in the name of martial arts. They are fully prepared to go out! Now that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has returned, we will march out of the island and fight against the rebellion at your command..."

Elder Aoki then stepped forward and reported Mishima's intelligence in detail, including his location, strength and other details.

"Lin Yuan, what do you think?"

After listening to the reports from the four elders, Zi Yan's gaze moved slightly and fell on Lin Yuan who was standing beside her... In front of the four elders, she did not hide her absolute trust in Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The unification of the ancient Taixu dragon should be done sooner rather than later!"

"We can use three days to complete the final mobilization preparations, and then send out the entire army to conquer the three islands in the order of north, west, and south."

"In order to restore the strength of the Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible, we should not kill anyone in large numbers during this rebellion. We should only kill the three false Dragon Kings and the diehards who are loyal to them! We can grant amnesty to the general Ancient Dragon Clan members on the three islands later to calm the hearts of the Ancient Dragon Clan members on the three islands."

"Also, although with your strength, Zi Yan, you can easily crush the three false dragon kings, it would be best to use the royal family's unique skills to kill them in a more shocking way this time."

"Only in this way can we dispel the lies woven by the three false dragon kings and rally the hearts of the ancient dragon clan again!"

Hearing this, Zi Yan nodded slightly, a hint of thought flashed across her purple-gold eyes, and her gaze fell on the four elders again: "Four elders, what do you think?"

"What Elder Alchemist said is absolutely right!" Elder Qingshan looked at Lin Yuan with appreciation and said in a deep voice.

"This time, we must suppress the rebellion and show our king's power, and also win over the people's hearts!"

"When Dragon Island split, most of the people of the three islands were coerced by the three false dragon kings. Over the years, they have been deceived by their sweet words. After the three false dragon kings who are the main culprits are killed, the people of the three islands will quickly wake up. Please show some leniency, Lord Dragon King."

"After all, no matter what, killing one's own kind is always a sad thing."

"When Dragon Island was split, many powerful elders of the Ancient Dragon Clan fled into the void early because they didn't want to see their own kind killing each other!"

"And in the North, West, and South Islands, there are also some of their direct and collateral descendants."

"If we kill too many people in this rebellion suppression campaign, it may alienate those Dou Sheng seniors, and they may leave Dragon Island completely and never return... We also need to take this into consideration."

"Of course, these are just my humble opinions. The details will all be decided by Lord Dragon Emperor."

After saying this, he bowed his head with an extremely submissive attitude. The other three elders also nodded in agreement, their eyes full of approval.
