The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Gilded candlelight flickered throughout the hall, and the air was faintly filled with the aroma of mellow spiritual brew. Thinking of what His Majesty had just instructed him, Huaizhi felt a little dazed.

In his hand was still the blood bead given to him by Huai Jin. According to the requirements of the restriction, if he wanted to open the inheritance restriction in advance, in addition to the Lord's blood essence, he also needed to wait until the full moon night, which was midnight three days later.

But... why do I always have a weird feeling in my heart?

I should find a time to report to the Lord. Although the Lord and the Master are siblings, it is better for me to report to the Lord in person.

And at this moment, suddenly, a cold chill swept over.

In an instant, inky black fog surged in from all directions, quickly engulfing the entire hall like a tide.

At this time, outside the hall, and even the entire Longling Valley was shrouded in black fog. Wherever the black fog passed, the candlelight suddenly went out, leaving only the faint green ghost-like light flickering in the fog.

Huaizhi was shocked, and before he could react, the other dragon people in the hall began to scream in panic.

Under the erosion of the black fog, the spiritual power was like a candle in the wind. Many weaker and young dragons trembled all over, their spiritual power dissipated, and they collapsed to the ground.

Some dragons with higher cultivation levels also turned pale, and it became extremely difficult for them to circulate their spiritual energy.

Everything happened in just a moment.

Huaizhi waved his hand to form a protective formation, but found that his formation had no effect on the black fog.

Suddenly, he sensed something, and his light golden pupils shrank sharply. He then summoned the Chaos Dragon Ball, which he had not used for many years. In an instant, surging power covered the surroundings, and the black fog dissipated wherever it went.

Every time the Chaos Dragon Ball was activated and maintained, it consumed a great deal of his own divine power. In a short while, Huaizhi's forehead was already covered with sweat.

This is because the Chaos Dragon Ball is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation by the dragon clan and can only be used by successive Dragon Emperors. It is rumored that the Chaos Dragon Ball contains a drop of blood from an ancient demon god. It is extremely powerful, but at the same time, it also consumes a lot of divine power from the user.

"What exactly is going on?"

"What exactly is this black fog?"

Cries and questions echoed in the black fog. Fear spread rapidly like a plague, and the entire hall fell into chaos.

"Everyone, please stay calm."

Among the seven elders, Xuan Jin was imprisoned in Dragon Prison, Xuan Feng was missing for a few days, and even Xuan Ling was not present, so only Xuan Yue and the other three elders were in the entire hall.

"Xuan Yue, you have the highest overall strength, so leave this to the three of us. Go protect the Emperor first. The Emperor is young and can't sustain the power of the Chaos Dragon Ball for long. Xiao Qi, go to the Dragon Prison and rescue the Great Elder."

Xuan Yue frowned slightly, subconsciously looked in the direction of Huai Zhi, and nodded with a heavy expression.

The Seventh Elder, known as "Xiao Qi", is best at speed, so it is most appropriate for him to go to Xuan Jin for help.

"Everyone calm down, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is still here, don't panic."

"Pharmacist, take your positions and treat the wounded."

And at this moment, a deep, familiar yet somewhat strange voice sounded.

"Hehe, the mighty Dragon Emperor can't even eliminate the black fog. If that's the case, you'd better give up your throne as soon as possible."

But everyone saw the second elder Xuan Ling walking out of the black fog with steady steps.

His silver hair was like a waterfall, his face was stern, and his every move revealed the majesty accumulated over the years. His whole aura was strange and eerie.

"Second Elder? What happened to the Second Elder? The Second Elder's hair..."

"No, the aura of the Second Elder?"

Fifth Elder Xuan Xiao looked at Xuan Yue, who had a strange expression, with a look of horror, "Second Brother, have you been invaded by the evil spirit?! Are you possessed?! Are you crazy?!"

In an instant, all the dragons looked at Xuan Ling in front of the black fog, and looked at each other, with fear and shock in their eyes.

Their dragon clan all belong to the ancient mythical beasts. It is simply unbelievable that such ancient mythical beasts would collude with the demons from outside the heavenly realm.

Facing Xuan Xiao's questioning, Xuan Ling seemed to have no reaction. He just chuckled lightly, and even raised his hand to signal the dragons to be quiet, and then slowly pointed to the sky.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that above the towering black jade holy dragon statue in the center of the hall, a series of talismans were faintly visible. Those talismans emitted a strange glow, sometimes condensing and sometimes dissipating, forming a strange and unfamiliar pattern.

Xuan Ling's voice was low and solemn, "Everyone, the demon god has appeared in the world, and my master has changed his position."

The eyes of the dragons widened. They were shocked by the sudden news. There was actually something wrong with the statue of the demon god!

"With the Demon God appearing, is a change of master inevitable? Then shouldn't we pledge allegiance to the Second Elder now?"

"You're right. Everyone here knows this news, but now..."

Xuan Yue's delicate brows knitted tightly together. "What nonsense are you talking about! Putting aside whether this is the instruction of the Demon God or not, Xuan Ling is brimming with demonic energy. He's clearly possessed. This has already offended the Dragon Clan!"

"But... the statue on the demon god..."

Huaizhi sat in a high position, the golden dragon patterns around him shining brightly, pushing back the approaching black fog a little. He frowned and looked at the dragons below who had been persuaded, with a cold glint in his eyes.

Listening to the words of the dragons, Xuan Ling was already calm. He knew that the current situation would be like this. If he delayed for a while longer, Huaizhi would not be able to withstand the power of the Chaos Dragon Ball, and by then, Longling Valley would not be in his pocket.

In recent years, he has been making careful moves. In the hearts of the dragon people, his reputation has long surpassed that of Dragon Emperor Huaizhi and Great Elder Xuan Jin. The layout he has prepared for many years is not easily broken.

When the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart, the holes will only get bigger and bigger, and it will be very difficult to fill these holes.

A bitter smile appeared on Huaizhi's lips. The Lord was right. As the Dragon Emperor, he had indeed neglected his duties and oversight. Although he was looking for the Lord, the result was the result after all. The Dragon Emperor was the only one who could do what he did.

But he didn't even have the energy to speak now, let alone take charge of the overall situation. Although the power of the Chaos Dragon Ball was strong, it also consumed a lot of his divine power. As the black fog continued to strengthen, he not only lost his divine power, but also his blood and essence.

Realizing that the formation barrier was becoming increasingly weak, Xuan Ling raised the corners of his mouth and responded loudly.

"Huaizhi, as the Dragon Emperor, you can't even control the power of the Chaos Dragon Ball. Internally, you have ignored the dragon clan for decades, and externally, you still haven't found the Lord. Now that the statue and seal of the Demon God have appeared, you should abdicate as soon as possible to thank the world."

Huaizhi ignored it. Now he just needed to wait until the Lord came.

But it was obvious that he could not bear it anymore, and a crack appeared faintly on the barrier of the Chaos Dragon Ball.

Xuan Ling raised the corner of his lips, and then summoned a black mist that rushed towards the crack. In an instant, the formation barrier shattered. At the same time, the black mist swept across the sky at lightning speed.

"what!"

"My divine power!"

"Everyone, don't panic, transform into your original form and hug each other!"

Screams of pain rang out one after another.

Just as the black fog was about to cover the entire Longling Valley, a cold female voice rang out.

Although it was a reproach, it made Huaizhi feel that hope had come.

"Huaizhi, you have indeed neglected your duties and oversight."
