Chapter 96: Provocation!

  Originally, as far as Qin Zheng knew, the situation was that the large-scale forces were only the Dayan Imperial Family and the Lu Yunhong faction, and at most, there would be some high-ranking masters from the Tianwu Realm. He didn't expect another race to come and completely annihilate the Longxiang tribe. Moreover, the strength of this Jiaolong tribe was also quite impressive.

  The situation is far more dangerous than imagined.

  "Is there no external support on our side?" Qin Zheng thought, the Longxiang tribe has been existing in the Longxiang mountain range for many years, and they should have a few friends.

  "Who would have thought, the old elder Liefeng sighed bitterly: "When the old tribe leader was alive, we indeed had some friends and some people who had received our kindness. However, this time, when they heard that the Jiao Man tribe was coming to exterminate us, they were all scared and made excuses to leave the Longxiang Mountains. Friends are only known in times of crisis."

  Qin Zheng's heart sank, and unexpectedly, there was no one who came to assist him.

  It's in times of trouble that true feelings are revealed; this saying is a bloody reality.

  "These people have indeed come, but their help to us is very limited. On the other hand, if Mo Feiyun of the Demon King's clan were to come, he could resolve our crisis. Unfortunately, he also cannot come." Lie Feng said.

  The Youjin royal family is a special race.

  This group of people is the descendant of the combination of the demon tribe and the human tribe. They are not well received by either the human or demon tribes, so they formed their own power and called themselves the Demon Human King Tribe. They dominate the southeastern corner of the Divine Martial Continent, which borders both the human and demon tribes, with a range of 100,000 miles. Their strength is also quite formidable.

  "What's Mo Fei Yun?" Qin Zheng didn't know much about the demonic Wang clan.

  "He is one of the strongest contenders for the next King of the You People, and if he were to come, our troubles would be solved. Moreover, this person has had feelings of love for the clan leader since seeing him, but unfortunately, four months ago, he was somehow locked up for a year, and even if he wanted to come, he wouldn't be able to." Lie Feng sighed bitterly, "This is heaven's way of destroying my Dragon Elephant Clan."

  Qin Zheng found out that they were now standing on the edge of a cliff, with no one to pull them up, and could only rely on themselves.

  How to save yourself?

  Then we should make full use of all the resources in our hands as much as possible.

  "Great Elder should be at Tianwu Realm mid-level." Qin Zheng said.

  "It's true," said the fierce wind. "Unfortunately, I only have three to five years of life left, and my blood energy is insufficient. Otherwise, it would be possible for me to enter the high-level Tianwu realm, and even if I self-destructed, I could still kill over a thousand enemies."

  Qin Zheng took out a small porcelain bottle from his spatial waistband, "There's a drop of Dragon Elephant Divine Blood here, which should help the Great Elder complete his breakthrough and extend his lifespan."

  "Dragon Elephant God... Blood?!" Lie Feng's face was full of surprise.

  "Uh-huh."

  Qin Zheng handed the small porcelain bottle to Lie Feng.

  People who have reached their limit of life, so-called three to five years of life expectancy, are only viewed in the longest way. In general, they may die suddenly at any time and place.

  Such a person has nothing left to struggle for and probably only hopes to make one last effort for the Dragon Elephant tribe before dying.

  Open the small porcelain bottle, Lie Feng examines that one drop of blood.

  As the great elder of the Dragon and Elephant tribe, he naturally recognized the Dragon and Elephant God's blood.

  "This is the divine blood of our Dragon Elephant Clan!" exclaimed Lie Feng excitedly. "This divine blood is very ancient, dating back to a very distant era when my Dragon Elephant Clan broke free from the shackles of humanity and left behind a drop of their essence. It was sealed away in a special location using a unique method, allowing it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Not only has it not weakened over time, but it has actually grown stronger."

  Qin Zheng exclaimed, this fierce wind was right, this drop of Longxiang divine blood was indeed the only one that existed with the Longxiang clan's heaven-defying martial skill, Longxiang Tianxia Sheng.

  "With this divine blood, Great Elder can have confidence in making a breakthrough and extending his lifespan." Qin Zheng smiled.

  "It's possible, breaking through will no longer be a problem, and my lifespan will also be greatly extended. I might even be able to awaken the dormant dragon bloodline within me, allowing me to reach an even higher realm in the future." Lie Feng grasped the small porcelain bottle, his voice slightly trembling, "Whoever wants to destroy the Dragon Elephant Clan, with the power of my full vitality, I can self-destruct and take them down with me."

  "We still have hope." Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Let's refine this drop of Dragon Elephant Divine Blood here with the Great Elder."

  Fierce Wind agreed and was about to refine the Divine Blood in this pavilion to complete his breakthrough.

  He had just sat down when loud shouting and scuffling footsteps came from outside.

  The two of them turned their heads and saw six or seven people walking towards the entrance.

  Walking in front was a sturdy young man with a face full of anger.

  When he came to the Longxiang clan's residence, Yuxiu Xian had already introduced him. This person was one of the strongest among the younger generation of the Longxiang clan, named Sikong, and was as famous as Guan Chenyin, but since he had never fought fiercely in front of outsiders before, his reputation was not that great.

  Following behind Si Kong was the four elders of the Long Xiang tribe, Cang Yun.

  The Dragon Elephant Tribe has really declined to the extreme, the Great Elder Lie Feng's life is coming to an end, the Second and Third Elders have also passed away, and the Fourth Elder Cang Yun is not far from his own demise.

  Further back were some of the Dragon Elephant Tribe's mid-generation experts, but they were all at the early to middle stages of the Intent Domain, not even close to the Heavenly Martial Domain.

  "Qin Zheng, come out! I want to duel with you!" Sī Kōng pointed at Qin Zheng and shouted loudly.

  "How dare you!"

  Before Qin Zheng could respond, Lao Lian Lie Feng angrily shouted, "Qin Shao has already been recognized as the deputy clan leader by the Clan Leader, Si Kong, what kind of attitude is this?"

  To Lie Feng, Si Kong didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and he bowed his head in respect. "Great Elder, I don't agree. Why should an outsider come to guide our Dragon Elephant Clan? So I want to challenge him. If he can defeat me, I'll acknowledge it. Otherwise, I absolutely won't agree with him coming to lecture us."

  "This is the order of the clan leader, and you dare to disobey." Lie Feng said in a low voice.

  "The clan leader isn't always right either, he once mistakenly identified an internal traitor and wrongly killed nine elders." Si Kong hummed.

  Seeing him like this, Qin Zheng also secretly sighed. Originally, the Longxiang tribe had internal traitors, and it was a case of internal worries and external troubles. Yu Xiuxian's mistake in killing once made the Longxiang tribe somewhat distrustful of her.

  The fierce wind was rebuked by Si Kong, this sentence is both angry and unable to utter a strong rebuttal.

  Those four elderly Clouds smiled and said: "Great Elder, we are all old and may pass away at any time. It's time to let go. The middle-aged generation indeed has no one capable of taking over as the clan leader, but the young generation's Si Kong is still very capable. Moreover, every time the clan leader was not around, he would handle matters and we would assist him. Suddenly letting someone we don't know take over as the acting clan leader, especially at this most critical moment in our Dragon Elephant Clan's history, I think it's inappropriate and hard for the clansmen to trust him."

  "The four elders, you are also manipulating them from behind." Lie Feng said angrily.

  "What does this old man mean? I am also thinking for the sake of the Dragon Elephant Clan, and not like you who only knows how to be a yes-man." Cang Yun retorted.

  Fierce Wind was furious, "Don't think that just because my time is almost up, you can act wildly in front of me. I have been repeatedly tolerant only because the Ninth Elder was your own brother and was mistakenly killed by the Clan Lord."

  Cangyun coldly smiled and said: "The clan leader made a mistake in killing, don't you have any responsibility?"

  Just as the two were about to quarrel, Qin Zheng stopped Dacheng Liefeng. He also saw that Cangyun was still resentful of the death of his brother, Jiuchang Lao, and he couldn't vent his anger on Yuxiu Xiang, so he could only vent it on Dacheng Liefeng. No matter what, this kind of struggle is not good for the Longxiang tribe.

  "What can I do to gain your recognition?" Qin Zheng asked.

  "Let's have a fight!" Ci Kong took a step forward, his fierce aura suddenly bursting out. The thin fog that had been present here immediately gathered behind him, forming a massive dragon-like shape over five meters tall. This was Ci Kong's bloodline reassembling, transforming into the form of a demonic beast, further increasing his aura.

  Qin Zhengdao said: "If I win, what will you do?"

  "Alright, you win," said the empty air in a loud voice. "From now on, I will obey your every command without question." He raised his hand towards a cedar tree outside the pavilion and grasped it with an enormous illusory palm, crushing the tree to splinters with a deafening crash. "If I disobey, may I suffer the same fate as this tree!"

  "Alright, if I lose, you'll be the new leader of the Longxiang Clan and have full control over the Tiger Garden Estate." Qin Zheng also said loudly.

  The Great Elder Lie Feng and the Fourth Elder Cang Yun wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

  His eyes shot out cold lights, "I hope you mean what you say."

  "I also hope you can keep your promise." Qin Zheng said.

  "I'll be waiting for you at the martial arts arena!" Si Kong turned around and left.

  Cang Yun and others also followed him away.

  The Great Elder Lie Feng said: "Qin Shao, you shouldn't have accepted the battle so hastily."

  "Matters have been forced to this point. If I don't respond, how will they view me? It's very disadvantageous for us to unite and present a united front externally." said Qin Zheng.

  "Alas, it's all because of Cang Yun. If it weren't for him, Si Kong, although arrogant and self-important, has always known to prioritize the bigger picture and wouldn't have come to challenge us." Lie Feng said angrily, but then revealed a helpless expression, "This matter is also strange, when our clan leader was determined that Jiu Lao was a traitor and wanted to kill him, if I had just intervened at that time, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

  "It's too late for regrets now. Elder Qin, would you accompany me to the Martial Arts Arena? I'm not even sure how to get there." said Qin Zheng.

  The two of them walked out of the attic.

  On the way, Lie Feng also introduced Si Kong's strength to Qin Zheng.

  Si Kong is the most outstanding potential master of the Longxiang tribe in the past few hundred years. A year ago, he ignited the dragon's bloodline within his body and then used this dragon's bloodline to nourish his Longxiang martial vein, allowing his martial vein to transform and his potential to become astonishing. Since then, his strength has also made rapid progress, and now he already possesses high-level Lengwu Boundary strength.

  "Qin Sha defeated Guan Chen, don't underestimate Si Kong." Lie Feng reminded, "As early as a year ago, he had secretly challenged Guan Chen and used the secret method of our Longxiang tribe to conceal his identity. Within five moves, he defeated Guan Chen, until now Guan Chen still doesn't know it was Si Kong's doing, thinking it was just a young master from outside the Longxiang Mountains."

  Qin Zheng's eyebrow twitched, and with five moves, he defeated Wu Mei, the mysterious Guan Chen whose name is still unknown to this day. This Si Kong's strength was really formidable.
