Ao Shao was a strong man who could battle the Realm of Harmony realm, even if Ao Ru had crossed into the third step of the Realm of Creation, he did not put Ao Ru in his eyes. Before the man could pounce, a fist blasted at Ao Crippled.
In his opinion, even if Ao Crippled was at the Realm of Creation, he would still have to be seriously injured under this punch of his. To deal with a mere Ao Ru, would he not need to sacrifice his own magic treasure?
As Ao Shao did not sacrifice his magic treasure, Ao Ru also did not sacrifice his magic treasure. He also took a step forward and followed with a fist.
“Boom,” after the two fists met, the violent power of the Dao Rhythm rules exploded in the huge palace of the dragon race. The Dao rhyme aura directly shattered the palace’s protective array, and the beautiful inner palace was blasted down as if it was crumbling.
The guests in the inner palace gave way; those with lower cultivation levels would be seriously injured without dying once they were affected by such a powerful attacking dao rhyme wave.
Ao Shao was recoiled by the tremendous power of the dao rhyme, and no longer had the powerful aura he had just rushed in with, instead he fell back several steps.
Ao Crippled retreated the same number of steps, but he struck out behind him, and did so defensively. In this comparison, it was surprisingly Ao Ru who had the slight upper hand.
Ao Shao looked at Ao Crippled with shock, he could not imagine that Ao Crippled, who had just crossed into the Realm of Creation, could evenly match him. After this punch, the raging killing intent deep inside him instantly calmed down.
What shocked him even more was not that Ao Crippled was so powerful, but that Ao Crippled’s Dao Rhyme power contained the most ancient chaotic power of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, which was the aura of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan’s Ancestral Dragon. But the Ancestral Dragon had fallen after the first battle of creation back then, and there were not even any bones left, so how could Ao Ru possess the Ancestral Dragon’s Dao Rhythm aura?
Not only Ao Shao, but Ao Feng also felt that the Dao rhythm aura blasted out by Ao Ru’s fist contained the most ancient Ancestral Dragon Dao rhythm aura of the Five-Clawed Dragon Clan.
He was not the one who had fought with Ao Crippled, and his feelings were even more profound than Ao Shao’s. Back then, he was not qualified to go to the first creation battle, but he had felt the powerful aura of the ancestral dragons of the Five-clawed Divine Dragon clan from afar.
A thought that even Ao Feng himself could not believe came rushing up to him, that Ao Crippled had received the Ancestral Dragon’s inheritance, and that was how he had crossed into the third step of the Realm of Creation with a four-clawed divine dragon.
If Ao Ru had obtained the Ancestral Dragon’s inheritance, then no matter what, Ao Ru could not be allowed to leave the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon clan.
At this time, the inner hall of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan being blown to pieces was instead the smallest thing to Ao Feng. Not to mention the palace of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, even if Ao Shao’s daughter was killed, it would still be a minor matter in the face of the Ancestral Dragon Inheritance.
“Ao Ru, you are a direct disciple of my Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, I hope you can come back to the Five-Clawed Dragon Clan. As for other matters, we’ll discuss them slowly.” Ao Feng didn’t even take into account Ao Shao’s meaning before taking the initiative to say.
Ao Shao’s face was calm and surprisingly, he did not bother to refute Ao Feng’s words. He knew very well in his heart what Ao Feng meant by these words, and at this time, he also had some suspicions that Ao Ru had received the Ancestral Dragon’s heritage.
“Kill my sister Ao Qiang, I, Ao Mang, will kill this person ……,” Ao Mang saw that the patriarch actually had the intention of excusing Ao Crippled, his hand reached out and a white lance appeared in the palm of his hand.
The lance is surrounded by dao rhymes and suffused with killing intent, clearly this is a top grade magic treasure.
Ao Shao remained silent and also raised his hand, and a long, pitch-black tendril began to surround him. Although he did not refute Ao Feng’s words, he definitely did not want to let the person who killed his precious daughter live. Ao Feng could force Ao Ru to hand over his heritage, but he could not save Ao Ru’s little life.
Ao Feng stood up, he decided that he had to help one of the parties in this situation, and at this time he could only help Ao Shao. Not to mention that Ao Shao was the Right Elder Protector of the Dragon Clan, even if he were to help Ao Crippled, Ao Crippled’s appearance would probably not stay with the Five-Clawed Dragon Clan.
If he wanted Ao residual to stay in the Five-Clawed Dragon Clan, there was only one way to do it, and that was to forcibly capture Ao residual.
“Fellow Daoists who have come to my Five-Clawed Dragon Clan, today was supposed to be a happy event, but I didn’t expect that the matters within my Five-Clawed Dragon Clan would cause everyone to suffer together. Ao Ru, as a disciple of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, has already broken a great commandment by openly killing a fellow clan member. When this matter is finished, Ao Feng will make amends to all of you.” After saying these words, Ao Feng waved his hand.
Including him and Ao Shao’s father and son, a full thirteen Third Step powerhouses instantly formed an encirclement, surrounding not only Ao Ru, but also Ning Cheng and also Xiao Xinxi.
To Ao Feng, Ning Cheng, a small person at the early stage of the Harmonious Dao, was really nothing. As for Xiao Xinxi, he was only a Boundary Creation Realm. Now that the thirteen strongest members of the Dragon Clan surrounded the three, even if Ao Crippled was capable of escaping alone, he would not be able to do so.
Xiao Xinxi deflated his mouth in disdain. Originally, he had not planned to fight at all when Ao Ru took revenge. He did not expect that if he did not make a move, people would take the initiative to make a move against him.
Seeing that Ao Feng was about to make his move, Ning Cheng suddenly said, “Clan Chief Ao Feng, don’t blame me for not warning you. If you don’t make a move, this is just Ao Residual’s own personal grudge. If you do, it is possible for the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan to be exterminated in this way.”
Ao Feng faintly froze when he heard Ning Cheng’s words, then he recoiled in anger, a tiny Hedao Saint Emperor dared to threaten him, a Five-Clawed divine Dragon clan chief, in such a manner.
“I would like to see how you are going to make my Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan extinct, I, Ao Feng, have not been threatened big time even though I have lived this long.” After Ao Feng laughed angrily, he even said in a stern voice.
After saying this, he was about to announce his move when he suddenly heard a faint voice say, “Brother Feng, if I haven’t guessed, what this fellow Daoist said is true.”
If it was someone else who said such words, Ao Feng would surely not even bother to pay attention to them, but this person who spoke was Qi Feng, an elder of the Dao of Du Zhen. Not to mention that Qi Feng himself was a strong person at the early stage of the Harmonious Realm, and in terms of strength, he was only slightly weaker than him, Ao Feng. In terms of cultivation, he was even slightly stronger than him, Ao Feng. The most important thing was that the Du Zhen Dao was one of the famous Dao Sects in the Heavenly Gate Realm, and its reputation was no weaker than that of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan.
“Brother Qi ……” Because of Qi Feng’s words, Ao Feng did not immediately make a move.
Instead, Qi Feng did not bother to greet Ao Feng, instead, he stood outside the dragon clan’s encirclement and gave Ning Cheng a fist clasp, “Du Zhen Dao Qi Feng has met Daoist Brother Ning, thank you Daoist Brother Ning for being generous and showing mercy.”
As soon as Ning Cheng heard these words, he knew that among the several Third Step powerhouses that he and Ye Mo had let go in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven Square back then, there were people from the Du Zhen Dao among them.
“Fellow Daoist Qi is very kind, the tenet of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven is that people do not offend me.” Ning Cheng calmly returned a salute.
There were people who were grateful, and naturally, there were people who hated. He and Ye Mo had joined forces in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven and had taken out seven or eight third-step powerhouses from the Heavenly Gate Realm, and only a handful of them had escaped back.
“You’re Ning Cheng Daoist Monarch of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven?” Ao Feng instantly understood and looked at Ning Cheng in shock, a chill ran down his back.
Among the strongest people from the Heavenly Gate Realm who had gone to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven back then, there was no one from the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan. As the clan leader of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, could he, Ao Feng, not know the terrifying nature of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven?
Fourteen third-step powerhouses from the Heavenly Gate Realm Alliance went to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven to take revenge, and this also included four Harmonious Realm powerhouses, and the weakest one of these four Harmonious Realm powerhouses was stronger than him, Ao Feng.
As a result, only five of these fourteen people returned, including Sang Wang Tui, who was the first to go to the Outer Heaven of Xuanhuang. I heard that these five were still there because Ning Cheng and Ye Mo showed mercy, otherwise none of them would have come back.
Now he, Ao Feng, was actually going to make a move against such a person, and as Qi Feng had said, once he did, his Five-Clawed Divine Dragon clan would indeed be lost. With Ning Cheng’s rumoured strength, once he had taken out the many third step powerhouses of his Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, where would the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan still be qualified to gain a foothold in the Heavenly Gate Realm?
Ning Cheng was slightly stunned, he was only at the Hedao cultivation level, when had he been called a Daoist Monarch? Don’t look at the fact that he was called a Dao Monarch in the Tai Su Realm. In fact, Ning Cheng knew very well that that Dao Monarch and a real Dao Monarch were completely different things. It was not too much to say that he was putting gold on his own face.
A true Dao Monarch, that was all a third-step powerhouse.
“That’s right, I am Ning Cheng. Clan Chief Ao, are you still planning to arrest me?” Ning Cheng looked at Ao Feng and asked in a flat voice.
Ao Feng took a deep breath and cupped his fist at Ning Cheng, “Daoist Sovereign Ning is joking, my Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan has no enmity with Daoist Sovereign Ning, how can I make a move against Daoist Sovereign Ning?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Ning Cheng had offended too many people in the Heavenly Gate Realm, Ao Feng would have even said that he wanted to befriend Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng had killed too many powerful people from the Heavenly Gate Realm Alliance, so he, the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, should not draw close to Ning Cheng.
“Brother Ao Plane, since this matter is an internal matter of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon Clan, then I suggest that we have Ao Mang and Ao Ru to settle it. How about we each stay out of the way?” Ao Feng changed his mind immediately after knowing that Ning Cheng and Ao Crippled had come together, and instead turned his head to Ao Shao and asked.
Ao Shao clenched his fist, he understood what Ao Feng meant. Ao Feng certainly did not want to offend Ning Cheng, but also had a little idea of helping him. Ning Cheng’s reputation was too great, so if he also made a move, there was no guarantee that Ning Cheng would not make a move. Once Ning Cheng made his move, I was afraid that he, Ao Shao, would also be the one to send him to his death.
Ao Shao was eager to see if Ning Cheng’s strength was as powerful as the rumours, but he did not dare to take the risk.
The best solution would indeed be for Ao Zu and Ao Mang to settle the matter alone.
Seeing that Ao Shao did not say anything, Ao Feng cupped his fist to Ning Cheng again and asked, “What does Daoist Monarch Ning think?”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “I naturally won’t have an opinion, as long as others don’t interfere, I won’t interfere on my side either. Life and death are Ao Crippled’s own responsibility.”
Ao Crippled had received the Ancestral Dragon’s inheritance, while Ao Mang had just crossed into the third step just like Ao Crippled. In Ning Cheng’s opinion, Ao Mang was definitely not a match for Ao Crippled.
“In that case, then let them do it inside here. We will guard the space on my side, and I have to trouble Daoist Monarch Ning for a favor on the other side. I am afraid that if the two of them make too much noise, it will cause my Dragon Palace to collapse away.” Hearing Ning Cheng’s agreement, Ao Feng hurriedly said once again.
Ning Cheng knew this little thought of Ao Feng’s, and guessed that what Ao Feng cared about was not the collapse of the Dragon Palace, but that he wanted to see his true strength. In the event that he could not challenge him, he would use such a small gimmick.
“Even Clan Chief Ao doesn’t have a problem, I naturally won’t have a problem.” Ning Cheng said indifferently.
