Chapter 999: Return
"Ye Xuan? Is this young man Ye Xuan?"
Upon hearing the name Ye Xuan, Lei Yan was startled too. Previously, he learned from the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor that Ye Xuan was just a minor character, and Ling Qianxue was the most formidable in Light City. Yet, it now seemed completely different.
"This stupid Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor! How dare he deceive me?"
Lei Yan glared fiercely at the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor. This fool not only reported false information but also brought him such a strong opponent.
As for the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor, he felt unjustly accused. How was he to know Ye Xuan would suddenly become this powerful, besides, what was happening with that Purple Gold Giant Dragon just now?
"You are Ye Xuan?"
Lei Yan gazed toward Ye Xuan from afar, his eyes revealing a hint of apprehension.
That Purple Gold Giant Dragon had a terrifying presence; he didn't know the methods Ye Xuan used to create such dominance, but this person gave him a feeling of being not simple.
"Absolutely genuine."
Ye Xuan's tone was indifferent, "My lord comes in such a menacing manner and has injured my beloved wife so severely. May I know the reason?"
"Beloved wife?"
Upon hearing these words, both Lei Yan's expression changed and Ling Qianxue seemed taken aback. Soon after, her cheeks flushed. What was this guy rambling about? When did she have such a relationship with him?
"What? These two are actually in that kind of relationship?"
Lei Yan's face looked somewhat displeased, primarily out of jealousy. The woman he fancied was already entangled with someone else, which made him very unhappy.
"Just sparring a bit, I am here to recruit Light City, naturally not intending to resort to violence."
Lei Yan laughed, but his expression quickly turned cold, "I wonder if what you've said just now is true. Miss Ling, are you really in a marital relationship with Ye Xuan?"
He still didn't believe Ye Xuan's words unless he heard it straight from Ling Qianxue's mouth; he absolutely wouldn't give up.
"Exactly."
Ling Qianxue's response was straightforward; she didn't wish to be further entangled by Lei Yan.
"Damn it."
Lei Yan's gaze turned sinister, then he looked somewhat grievously at Ye Xuan, "I've come here to make Light City submit to my Thunder Clan, you should be a smart person, understanding that settling in this Ancient World requires finding a powerful backing."
"I certainly know that."
Ye Xuan's expression remained indifferent, "However, Light City has already found a backing, so there's no need for your concerns."
"Found a backing?"
Lei Yan's expression changed once more and then he sneered, "What kind of backing could be stronger than my Thunder Clan? Joining my Thunder Clan is your best choice. Otherwise, considering your enmity with the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace, I'm somewhat worried about your fate. Whether your so-called backing can protect you, that's very hard to say."
Ye Xuan remained unmoved, staring mockingly at Lei Yan. He then flexed his slender fingers lightly and a flicker of purple-gold light emerged. He grasped a Purple Gold Token in his hand, lazily saying, "Lei Yan, do you recognize this object?"
Lei Yan's gaze instantly shot towards Ye Xuan's hand. Subsequently, people from the Thunder Clan and the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor saw the ridicule on his face gradually solidify, replaced by a strong wave of astonishment and questioning.
"Is this the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Dragon Order? How can it be in your possession?!"
Lei Yan looked flabbergasted and immediately demanded loudly, "How dare you steal the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Dragon Order? Tell me, where did you obtain this Heavenly Dragon Order?"
He had been to the Dragon Clan a few times, naturally knowing about the Heavenly Dragon Order, and having seen it personally, he recognized it once Ye Xuan took it out.
"Naturally it was given by the Dragon Clan's ancestor, otherwise who do you think has the authority to bestow a Heavenly Dragon Order to another?"
Ye Xuan smiled, gazing at Lei Yan, then his eyes gradually turned cold, "Apologies, I am now an elder of the Dragon Clan, my backing is the Dragon Clan. Now, can you quietly leave?"
Lei Yan's expression changed, and he angrily retorted, "Nonsense, how could the Dragon Clan let you, a mere young lad, become an elder, let alone when you are not of the Dragon Clan at all!"
Ye Xuan's expression turned indifferent, then he rose slowly, brandishing the Punishment Seal in his hand. His skin started to become crystalline at this moment, and an indescribable pure dominance surged from within him, enveloping the world.
As this dominance spread, the air seemed to solidify, and everyone's expressions became solemn. They could clearly sense the purity of that dominance.
Such pure dragon might, even those possessing a most authentic Dragon Clan bloodline couldn't possess!
"This kind of dominance... truly an Ancient Giant Dragon?"
Lei Yan's expression changed, his gaze seemingly penetrating Ye Xuan's body, where deep within, crystalline bones resembled a Purple Gold Giant Dragon coiled, emanating endless majesty amidst the antiquity.
That dominance even surpassed the Ancient Giant Dragon.
"How could you possess the Ancient Giant Dragon bloodline?"
Lei Yan couldn't help but exclaim in shock; the Ancient Giant Dragon bloodline is the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure, how could it be given away so casually?
"Ancient Giant Dragon? Let it be, you've seen the Heavenly Dragon Order, now you may take your men and return from whence you came, unless you are confident you can defeat me."
Ye Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. With the Dragon Clan as his backing, he had no need to fear the Five Great Clans. If he hadn't gone to the Dragon Clan before, the current situation would indeed be very unfavorable for them. But now, he has become an elder of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan's influence makes even the Five Great Clans hesitant to easily provoke.
"Hmph, underestimating me? I want to see exactly how much weight you have as a Dragon Clan elder!"
Lei Yan, being a naturally hot-tempered person, developed a strong dislike for Ye Xuan due to Ling Qianxue, and coupled with the latter's apparent disregard, he couldn't swallow this unless fighting him and dampening his spirit.
After speaking, Lei Yan once again mobilized the True Yuan, and a thunder spear appeared again in his hand, then he shattered the void, piercing toward Ye Xuan abruptly.
The thunder spear was extraordinarily sharp, piercing toward Ye Xuan, flickering with strange runes. Such fluctuations were fierce and unstoppable.
"Truly impulsive and angry."
Ye Xuan's lips curved into a slight, indifferent smile, and then inside him suddenly surged with brilliant purple-gold light, forming a light wall before him. From that light wall, a massive dragon claw emerged, firmly grasping the thunder spear.
"The same trick doesn't work on me."
With arms crossed over his chest, Ye Xuan's stance showed disdain. As the thunder spear clashed with the dragon claw, fierce sparks burst forth but were unable to harm Ye Xuan in the slightest.
