Is it true that my failure to transform into a dragon, and even to transform into a pseudo dragon, has led to my true body being dismembered by others?
It turns out that it was my grandson’s mistake, making me, the ancestor, take the blame. Zhang Shicheng was so furious he wanted to send that unfilial descendant back to his mother’s womb. What kind of nonsense is this? If not for Zhang Chen’s presence, with my Power of Gluttony, I would have devoured those two Yang God powerhouses. Even without a True Dragon Destiny to transform into a True Dragon, I could still become a dragon offspring with Dragon Blood, then bide my time and seek opportunities. There’s still a chance for Dragon Transformation.
Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth in anger, the rage in his heart surged like waves, seemingly about to ignite the Yang God.
"Boy, as long as you let me go, allow me to swallow those two guys, once I regain my freedom and restore my strength, I’ll make sure justice is served for you, how about that?" Zhang Shicheng was furious with his grandson, gnashing his teeth; this truly is an unfilial descendant, bringing him such enormous trouble and making him capsize in a ditch.
"Does the ancestor take me for a three-year-old child?" Zhang Chen asked with a calm gaze at Zhang Shicheng.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng fell silent. In his place, he wouldn’t believe Zhang Chen’s words either. Moreover, Zhang Chen has the True Dragon Destiny, something he urgently needs, and the conflict between them is irreconcilable.
The place returned to tranquility, Zhang Chen walked inside the Crystal Palace, with Zhang Shicheng closely following behind:
"Ancestor, how about accompanying me for a stroll in this Crystal Palace?"
Zhang Shicheng didn’t speak, but responded to Zhang Chen with his actions.
The Crystal Palace was vast, covering an area of approximately three to five miles, roughly the size of a previous life’s super residential district.
Golden Light flickered in Zhang Chen’s eyes, searching for mysterious clues to see if anything significant was left inside the Crystal Palace.
"Don’t even think about it. All valuable items, all treasures in the Crystal Palace, have been taken away by my Prince Pingbian’s Mansion," Zhang Shicheng followed behind Zhang Chen, sneering as he watched Zhang Chen’s actions.
Zhang Chen ignored him, continuing to walk throughout the Crystal Palace. He wasn’t just looking for treasures, but also a hiding place.
Given Zhang Chen’s wisdom, he could guess that with the appearance of the Transformed Dragon and Walking Flood Dragon’s phenomenon, the outside would surely be tightly surrounded by soldiers, making the Yellow River Territory impenetrable.
This place belonged to Prince Pingbian. Could he survive if he went out? This was definitely the best chance for Prince Pingbian’s Mansion to kill him.
The most crucial thing was that he had the True Dragon Destiny, and Zhang Shicheng would never let him go.
Leaving would be like walking into a trap, doomed to death.
Thus, Zhang Chen didn’t plan on escaping; he planned to hide here, then wait until the next full moon night to transform into a vampire bat and escape.
By then, he would transform into a vampire bat and fly away under the cover of night, assuming that these people couldn’t detect his trace. No matter how many troops Prince Pingbian’s Mansion stationed outside, what could they do? They still wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, would they?
At this time, the True Dragon Destiny in Zhang Chen’s soul seemed to sense safety, openly and freely emerging, tearing at the Dragon Qi in the air, continuously strengthening itself.
Watching the True Dragon Destiny swirling around Zhang Chen, Zhang Shicheng’s eyes were wide. If he had the True Dragon Destiny, he would have long since transformed into a Dragon and Walking Flood Dragon. How could he have ended up in such a state?
He was furious!
Absolutely furious to the extreme.
Moreover, one thing puzzled him: he clearly possessed the True Dragon Fate—by all logic, being so favored by fortune, the True Dragon Destiny should belong to him. How was it snatched away by Zhang Chen, this insignificant descendant?
Logically, this was completely impossible because only by obtaining the True Dragon Fate first could he possibly draw in the True Dragon Destiny. But now, Zhang Chen directly skipped the crucial step, bypassing the step of gathering the True Dragon Fate, directly condensing the True Dragon Destiny.
According to common sense, if Zhang Chen had obtained the True Dragon Destiny, the True Dragon Fate should have belonged to Zhang Chen, leaving him no chance to acquire the True Dragon Fate.
This doubt had been vexing Zhang Shicheng, leaving him greatly discomfited, as he looked at Zhang Chen and couldn’t help but ask, "I have a question that’s been bothering me—could you answer it?"
Upon hearing Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Chen responded without turning his head: "Oh? Go ahead, if it’s not some secret, I don’t mind answering."
"How did you obtain the True Dragon Destiny? When did you acquire it?" Zhang Shicheng asked, his eyes serious. Clearly, this question was significant to him—extremely, very significant!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen chuckled, looking at Zhang Shicheng with his eyes: "You mean the True Dragon Destiny? I acquired it a month ago. I should thank your good grandson; if he hadn’t schemed against me, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain the True Dragon Destiny."
Upon saying this, Zhang Chen’s words suddenly halted, as he remembered the matter of the Empress Tomb. Compared to the Empress Tomb, what’s a True Dragon worth?
So Zhang Chen decided to keep quiet—should he accidentally reveal some clue, allowing that old fellow to find traces of the Empress Tomb, it would be troublesome.
However, Zhang Chen then thought that the tomb was shrouded by a Feng Shui Grand Array, and if he could leverage the other party’s strength to break the Feng Shui Grand Array, it could be beneficial for him.
"I’m too weak now; I’ll keep the matter of the Empress Tomb concealed for now, not letting it leak out," Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
Over on the other side, hearing Zhang Chen’s words, Zhang Shicheng’s Yang God trembled in anger as he suppressed his emotions and regained his calm: "Is it my disappointing grandson causing trouble again? You’re not tricking me, are you?"
"Why would I trick you? Your Prince Pingbian’s Mansion truly has ties with me," Zhang Chen said with a gentle smile.
Zhang Shicheng trembled with anger, his eyes filled with resentment: ties? More like a jinx! Practically the nemesis of Prince Pingbian’s Mansion.
"I too have a question. When the Great Victory Dynasty went into exile, you had already led your army to sweep the land; why didn’t you directly take over?" Zhang Chen inquired.
"At that time, I was just a country bumpkin, completely unaware of the mysterious matters. When I galloped across the Central Plains, riding on the invincibility of Seeing God Unbreakable Martial Dao, there was no opposition. Unfortunately, when the mysterious suddenly appeared one day, it was like a basin of cold water being poured over me. If not for the mysterious protection of the Demon Race, I fear I would have been settled by the court long ago," Zhang Shicheng’s voice was filled with bitterness.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen turned to glance at Zhang Shicheng, his eyes full of exploration: "I’ve heard that the Great Victory Dynasty had two twelfth-tier mysteries. How did the Demon Race get the opportunity to breach the gates?"
"The Demon Race also has mysteries! I heard from the mysterious one from the Demon Race that it seemed the Great Victory Dynasty’s mystery excavated something in ruins, then ruined themselves through cultivation, thus giving the Demon Race a chance to exploit. But later, that mysterious one seemed to research some results in the ruins, forcing the Demon Race’s mysterious to retreat outside the border, so the world was finally pacified." Zhang Shicheng said with emotion in his eyes:
"Back then, the Great Victory Dynasty’s mysterious was like a great sword, suspended above my head, ready to fall at any moment, making me live in constant fear, desperately searching for mysteries, sending people to find traces of mysteries. And indeed, my efforts paid off; I truly found it."
Saying this, Zhang Shicheng refrained from speaking further, but Zhang Chen understood; what Zhang Shicheng referred to was definitely the True Dragon Fate.
"If you are willing to join me, not only will I forgive past offenses, but I can also reward you with high official positions. If I unify the world someday, I can confer upon you the title of Alien King." Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhang Chen, believing that in the forthcoming grand confrontation, if Zhang Chen assisted him, he would have great gains in dealing with the court.
Even exert a decisive influence.
