Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 54 Candle Separation

After Zhu Li arrived, Hei Qing explained the situation to him.

Zhu Li first bowed to Jiang Cheng, then excitedly asked Jiang Xing, "Young friend, are you really sent by the Dragon Emperor? Where is the Dragon Emperor now?"

"Who are you?"

Jiang Xing was somewhat curious; these were the elders of Donglong Island.

"I am Zhu Li, the Third Elder of Donglong Island."

Jiang Xing: "So it's Elder Zhuli. This humble one, Jiang Xing, greets Elder Zhuli."

"Young friend, where is the Dragon Emperor now?"

Seeing that Jiang Xing did not answer his question, Zhu Li asked it again.

Jiang Xing said, "Elder Zhuli, I don't know where Senior Zhukun is either."

He had already decided before he came that he absolutely could not let the people of Donglong Island know where Zhu Kun was.

Otherwise, they would definitely go looking for it, and then the cave would be exposed.

This is not what Jiang Xing wants to see.

"What? You don't know either?"

"Didn't you say you came at the Dragon Emperor's behest? How could you not know? And you don't know where the Dragon Emperor is, or where those cultivation techniques and fighting skills came from?"

Clearly, Zhu Li was a little excited upon hearing Jiang Xing's words.

"Elder Zhuli, I really don't know where Senior Zhukun is. This cultivation technique was found in Ziyan's storage ring, and a wisp of Senior Zhukun's soul is inside the storage ring. Senior Zhukun instructed me to help unify Donglong Island, and after he finished speaking, that wisp of soul dissipated."

This was a reason he had already thought of before he came, and he had also discussed it with Zi Yan, so Jiang Xing could lie without batting an eye.

Jiang Xing said, "Senior Zhukun didn't tell me where he was."

Zhu Li: "How could that be? The Dragon Emperor is a nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouse..."

Although the Dragon Emperor has been missing for years, it is believed that the Dragon Emperor is so powerful that he should be safe.

But now, hearing Jiang Xing say that wisp of soul has dissipated, could it be that the Dragon Emperor has already...?

"Elder Zhuli?"

Seeing that Zhu Li was still lost in some kind of emotion, Jiang Xing spoke up to pull him back to reality.

"I apologize, young friend. I was out of line just now."

Zhu Li then realized his rudeness and apologized.

Jiang Xing came to help their Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan unify, and what he said just now in his excitement was indeed a bit impolite.

"It's alright. Elder Zhuli's concern for Senior Zhukun is understandable."

Jiang Xing didn't care about these details.

Zhu Li realized that it was not good to leave them standing there, so he quickly invited Jiang Xing and the others into the main hall.

"Elder Zhuli and Elder Zhukun instructed me to bring Ziyan back and, after helping the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan unify, to make Ziyan the new Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."

Zhu Li murmured, "The new Dragon Emperor?"

Zhu Li felt a deep bitterness in his heart; perhaps the Dragon Emperor truly would never return…

After adjusting his state, Zhu Li turned his gaze to Zi Yan.

He had been so busy worrying about the Dragon Emperor that he hadn't had a chance to properly look at Zi Yan, who possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon King of Taixu.

If Hei Qing could find her by her aura, then Zhu Kun would be even more so.

With just one glance, Zhu Li confirmed Zi Yan's identity.

With Zi Yan around, Zhu Li's mood finally found some comfort.

Although the Dragon Emperor is gone, it's not bad that we've found his child.

As long as we unify the Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu, and then give Ziyan some time to grow.

I believe that the Ancient Dragon of the Void will surely regain its former glory.

"On behalf of the entire Ancient Dragon of Taixu, I thank you, young friend."

Zhu Li naturally expressed his gratitude to Jiang Xing for bringing Zi Yan back and helping them unify the Taixu Ancient Dragon.

"Whether or not we can unify Dragon Island, we, the Ancient Dragons of the Void, owe you a favor."

"I've always treated Ziyan like a younger sister, so helping her is the right thing to do."

Jiang Xing patted Zi Yan's head, but this time Zi Yan did not slap Jiang Xing's hand away.

"I brought my grandfather with me this time. Together with the strongmen of Donglong Island, we should be able to help unify Donglong Island."

Then, Jiang Xing introduced his grandfather to Zhu Li.

Zhu Li asked cautiously, "May I ask what star level you are, Saint?"

Zhu Li's strength was only that of a half-saint, so naturally he couldn't see through Jiang Cheng's strength.

But judging from my intuition alone, this person is stronger than our own Grand Elder.

Jiang Cheng uttered a few words: "Late stage of Six-Star Dou Sheng."

But it was these few words that made Zhu Li overjoyed.

I guessed that Jiang Cheng's strength might surpass that of the Grand Elder, but I didn't expect him to be a six-star Dou Sheng!

At the same time, he was also somewhat relieved that Jiang Xing didn't hold it against him.

Jiang Cheng: "I will take action against those three Dragon Kings when the time comes."

"Then we'll have to trouble the Saint to take action."

Zhu Li Chao Jiang Cheng cupped his hands in greeting.

Jiang Cheng: "It was nothing."

At this moment, Jiang Xing spoke up: "Elder Zhuli, when shall we make our move?"

Jiang Xing wanted to unify the country as soon as possible and return home.

Zhu Li was overjoyed to learn that Jiang Cheng's strength was actually that of a six-star Dou Sheng.

The strongest of the three Dragon Kings, the Northern Dragon King, was only a Dragon King who had one foot in the four-star Dou Sheng realm. He was no match for Jiang Cheng, a six-star Dou Sheng.

With Jiang Cheng's help, Donglong Island can easily win the war against the three major dragon islands.

"Now that we have found the true descendants of the Dragon Emperor, we can no longer let the traitors of the three Dragon Islands run rampant. I will go and prepare for the new Dragon Emperor's succession ceremony in a moment, and we will attack the three Dragon Islands in two days."

The First Elder and Second Elder of Donglong Island had already gone into seclusion, so this matter naturally fell to him.

Zhu Li: "Please make do with staying here for the next couple of days."

Jiang Xing: "Alright, Elder Zhuli, you can go and make the preparations first."

Jiang Xing said to Zi Yan, who was holding his arm, "Zi Yan, then you should go with Elder Zhu Li."

"All right!"

Zi Yan didn't want to go with Zhu Li, but remembering what Jiang Xing had said to her a few days ago, she reluctantly agreed.

Zhu Li had already noticed that Zi Yan was quite dependent on Jiang Xing.

Zhu Li didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

The good thing is that Jiang Xing's grandfather is a six-star Dou Sheng, but the bad thing is that Zhu Li is afraid that if Zi Yan becomes the Dragon Emperor, she will be used by Jiang Xing.

……

Zhu Li did not choose to hide the fact that Zi Yan possessed pure Dragon Emperor bloodline from the three Dragon Islands when preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

Not only that, Zhu Li also sent people to deliver invitations to the three Dragon Islands.

Zhu Li's purpose in doing this was to give the three Dragon Kings an opportunity.

It's like telling them: We've found the Dragon Queen's descendants, why don't you surrender? If you come to the ceremony, everything will be fine; if you don't, then we'll have no choice but to fight each other.

If war breaks out, Donglong Island will be considered victorious.

The casualties caused by the war were also a huge loss for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

This is not what Zhu Li wants to see—fratricide.
