All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

The Azure Dragon King's Small World.

This is a small world created by a sage. The Azure Dragon King obtained it by chance and made it his base. Most of the Eastern Emperor Demon Clan live here.

The old Peng King appeared here, requesting an audience with the powerful demon king, the Peacock King.

"Old Peng King has come here, surely not to reminisce with me?"

The Peacock King spoke first.

Old Peng sighed and recounted his entire deal with Wang Gan.

"The Holy Son of Yao Guang"

The Peacock King snorted coldly.
His relationship with the Yao Guang Holy Land was not good; he often clashed with Li Daoqing, and both sides wanted to kill each other.

"He's just a junior human, yet he dares to make such outrageous demands, actually asking for the Azure Emperor's lifeblood. How can we demons possibly keep our word?"

“Old Peng King, I think we should ignore this junior. If he has any complaints…”

The Peacock King's expression was stern, and his tone was disdainful.
"Let Li Daoqing come find me!"

Old Peng Wang shook his head.
"Times have changed. Wang Gan is different now. He has broken through to the Sendai realm and is based in the Eight Forbidden Domains. His combat strength can be regarded as that of a second-level Immortal."

"Not to mention, he also has an imperial weapon and the protection of the Tianxuan Saint from six thousand years ago. He is practically treated like a young imperial prince. Our demon race cannot underestimate him."

"In some ways, they are already on par with us."

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King frowned, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his face.
"Humans are always favored by the Heavenly Dao, so why can't our demon race produce such a prodigy!"

"Such a prodigy of the human race must not be allowed to live!"

But the Peacock King was only talking; he wouldn't be so reckless as to actually dare to attack the king.

"Fine, since you insist, I'll ask the descendant of the Azure Emperor to intercede for you this once."

The Peacock King agreed to this matter.

Old Peng King once used his supernatural speed to save Peacock King from Li Daoqing and Wang Zheng, earning them a favor. To repay this favor, Peacock King had no choice but to ask for their help.

In the Azure Dragon King's small world, in the highest-ranking palace, the Peacock King sought an audience with the demon princess, Yan Ruyu, a descendant of the Azure Emperor.

Yan Ruyu was puzzled. Since her last trip to the Imperial Palace, when she witnessed the strength of the human race's prodigies, she had been cultivating in seclusion with the help of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart. She knew too little about the outside world and could not guess the Peacock King's intentions.

"Princess Yan, I have a request."

Yan Ruyu had just met the Peacock King when she heard this sentence.

"King Peacock, please speak frankly, and I will do my best to help."

Yan Ruyu spoke up.

"The old Peng King came to me, wanting to obtain a drop of the Azure Emperor's blood."

The Peacock King looked ashamed, but out of gratitude for the old Roc King's life-saving grace, he still spoke frankly.

"."

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment, then calmly spoke.

"I wonder what brings the old Peng King to seek the Azure Emperor's lifeblood?"

The Peacock King could not hide the truth any longer and explained the situation on the Old Roc King's side.

"Wang Gan. So it was this guy."

Upon hearing this name, Yan Ruyu felt a complex mix of emotions.

Last time, Wang Gan even said he wanted to cooperate with her, that the two lineages should cooperate together, simply because her Azure Emperor lineage had no powerful figures to protect her, and she possessed the Demon Emperor's Heart and the Emperor's Weapon, which was like a child carrying gold in a market.

If it weren't for the fact that the demon race was relatively united and that the powerful demons still recognized the Azure Emperor as the demon emperor, it's questionable whether Yan Ruyu would have been able to keep her imperial weapon intact.

If it were a human, something like the Purple Mountain incident would have been fought to the death over the ownership of the imperial weapon long ago.

This time, the news is still from Wang Gan, but it coincides with what Wang Gan said. Last time, when the Peacock King helped Yan Ruyu suppress the Ji family's power, Yan Ruyu had already given him a few drops of the Azure Emperor's blood as a reward.

But now, the Peacock King has come knocking on her door again. Although there is no sense of coercion, it still makes Yan Ruyu somewhat uneasy.

"Since it is the request of the demon race senior, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

Yan Ruyu nodded in agreement.
Although the Azure Emperor's blood is precious, the Azure Emperor's heart can be produced infinitely, so it is nothing to Yan Ruyu.

After a while,

The Peacock King, carrying a drop of the Azure Emperor's heart's blood, handed it to the Old Roc King, saying:
"Princess Yan, upon hearing that it was at the request of the old Peng King, and out of gratitude for your status as a powerful figure among the demon race, bestowed upon you the lifeblood of the Azure Emperor,"

"Brother Peng, never forget Princess Yan's kindness."

Old Peng King understood immediately, knowing that the Peacock King was telling him that he should not forget Yan Ruyu's kindness.

the other side,
Yan Ruyu watched the Peacock King's departing figure, speechless for a long time.

“Sendai. Imperial weapon and saintly protector of the Dao.”

"Has he grown to this point...?"

As the last member of the Azure Emperor's lineage, Yan Ruyu's fate was extremely tragic. Because the Azure Emperor feigned death for many years to deduce the path to immortality, and failed to make any contingency plans in advance, the Azure Emperor's lineage rapidly declined.
Yan Ruyu had been destitute since childhood, and even her imperial weapon was forcibly taken by the human race. It was only thanks to the help of the Peacock King that she was able to find a place to stand and cultivate in peace.

But just now, the Peacock King asked her for the Azure Emperor's blood for the sake of the Old Roc King, which made her already sensitive heart feel a sense of crisis once again.

This has nothing to do with the Peacock King's intentions or character, but rather with Yan Ruyu's own lack of sufficient strength.

Without strength, relying on others will always leave you vulnerable and helpless.

"perhaps."

Yan Ruyu thought of Wang Gan.

If she had Wang Gan's talent and strength, and ranked among the top experts of Sendai, perhaps she wouldn't be so terrified.

the other side,
Wang Gan looked at the Azure Emperor's Blood that Old Peng King had just delivered and felt satisfied.

"Actually, it's almost impossible for the Azure Emperor's blood to cause a qualitative change in my physique."

Wang Gan was also aware of this.
He is currently practicing the True Dragon Treasure Technique and refining the essence of the True Dragon Immortal Elixir every day. His physical body is almost on par with the Holy Body and the Overlord Body. If he wants to advance further, he would have to refine the Heart of the Demon Emperor.

"But the blood and sweat of the Azure Emperor will always add to the foundation."

"and"

Wang Gan's eyes flickered.

The Azure Emperor's lifeblood is also related to his future plans. After all, the Azure Emperor is still alive. By refining the Azure Emperor's lifeblood, one can eventually be connected to the Azure Emperor through some karma, thus becoming half a descendant of the Azure Emperor.

When the Azure Emperor actually appears in person, it will be good to gain some favor!

Upon realizing this, Wang Gan did not hesitate and immediately grabbed the Azure Emperor's life essence, refining it in an instant!
A moment later, Wang Gan refined the Azure Emperor's blood essence, and his cultivation improved slightly.

Then he took out the essence blood of the Golden-Winged Roc King. After Wang Gan refined it with purple fire, the essence of the Golden-Winged Roc King's body was refined into this drop of golden essence blood.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,

Looking at the Heavenly Roc essence blood that had been completely burned away, Wang Gan shook his head in disappointment.

"Kunpeng Treasure Technique."

"It's not that simple after all."

Unsurprisingly, even using the Heavenly Roc's essence blood in the form of burning, one still couldn't glean even a fraction of the original Kunpeng Treasure Technique from it.

Wang Gan looked at the Heavenly Roc Dragon Binding Technique in his mind.

"This secret technique passed down through the bloodline of the Heavenly Roc clan is quite interesting." (End of Chapter)
