Chapter 1257: Strong, Compromise, and Leave
As soon as Fairy Yanbo finished speaking, she appeared from the void in front of Chen Xuan.
However, at this moment, there was no hesitation on her face, only a hint of coldness and arrogance.
Facing the Fairy Yanbo at this moment, even Long Yucheng, a powerful warrior in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, did not dare to take action.
“This… Since you have come forward, I naturally cannot but give you face. I can let the matter of the Ten Thousand Dragons Prosperous Era Map go unpunished. But there is one thing that I must accomplish.” Long Yucheng said.
Fairy Yanbo nodded: "I know you are doing this for the True Dragon Clan. But, a forced melon is not sweet. My True Dragon Clan has been declining since ancient times. We don't care about continuing to decline."
"But if you chill people's hearts, the last glimmer of hope for the rise of my True Dragon Clan will be gone."
Fairy Yanbo looked at Long Yucheng with an extremely solemn expression.
Although Long Yucheng is the current patriarch of the True Dragon Clan, he is also a powerful warrior in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Facing Fairy Yanbo, he did not dare to act rashly.
After a long silence, Long Yucheng said, "I understand. I know my limits."
"If that's the case, then go ahead!"
Fairy Yanbo nodded at Long Yucheng.
Long Yucheng quickly put away the pressure from his body and looked at Fairy Feng Ling calmly.
"I want to have a good chat with Chen Daoyou. I hope you won't interfere."
"As long as you ensure that Fellow Daoist Chen's life is safe, I won't bother to care about anything else." Fairy Feng Ling said.
"Don't worry, fairy. I swear on my inner demon that I will never attack Fellow Daoist Chen this time."
"I believe in you!"
Fairy Feng Ling waved her hand and put away the magic mirror in her hand.
Another terrifying aura disappeared from the sky above the True Dragon Dojo.
However, Chen Jiao still did not dare to be careless. He released his true dragon form and stared at Long Yucheng.
"Old man, what exactly do you want to do?" Chen Jiao said angrily.
"Haha, you little guy, you have a bad temper. But, as a member of my True Dragon clan, why are you so protective of this human? Moreover, my True Dragon clan is one of the most powerful races in the world, and we have never bowed to any race."
Having said that, Long Yucheng looked at Chen Jiao's expression and became extremely serious.
"Our dragon clan's predecessors never bowed their heads, so how can we bend down? Even if you are Yinglong, so what? If you can't hold up the backbone of the dragon clan, you still can't be considered a true member of our true dragon clan." Long Yucheng said angrily.
Chen Jiao was about to speak, but Chen Xuan stopped him with his eyes.
"Senior, you misunderstood Chen Jiao. He has never bowed his head to anyone, nor has he ever bent his waist to anyone. He is just my brother in life and death!" Chen Xuan said.
Chen Jiao said nothing, but Chen Xuan's image in his mind was instantly improved.
He was originally just an ordinary dragon.
If he had not met Chen Xuan, at best he would have reached the Nascent Soul stage in this life.
But, a Jiaolong is a Jiaolong, not a real dragon.
But Chen Xuan helped Chen Jiao to transform from a Jiao dragon into a real dragon.
It even became today's Yinglong.
If there was no Chen Xuan, there would be no Chen Jiao today.
What's more, every time there was danger, Chen Xuan was always there to stand in front.
No one has ever seen Chen Xuan put his own pet to death to help himself escape.
It is for this reason that Chen Jiao regards Chen Xuan as his own relative from the bottom of his heart.
Real relatives!
Even if Long Yucheng, who is also a member of the dragon clan, wanted to harm Chen Xuan, Chen Jiao would stand up and defend Chen Xuan at the first moment.
"Yes, although my master and I are master and servant in name, we are actually real brothers. No matter what you think, old man, this will never change." Chen Jiao said.
Long Yucheng was stunned and looked at Chen Jiao for a long time.
His expression finally eased a lot.
"Perhaps I really misunderstood you. There are some things I want to discuss with you. What do you think?" Long Yucheng said.
When a powerful person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage said this, he put aside his status and showed true sincerity.
Chen Xuan, who thought he had gotten into a big disaster and had no way of leaving safely, was secretly delighted when he saw this.
He knew very well that this might be an opportunity for him to leave the True Dragon Clan alive.
"Senior, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Haha, so refreshing!"
Long Yucheng laughed.
With his strength and status, if he didn't want anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation, he could easily do it.
But Long Yucheng still cautiously cast an anti-peeping light shield.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, your brother in life and death is a genius of our True Dragon Clan. I don't know how you trained him, but I sincerely appreciate your efforts."
"However, the cultivators of our True Dragon Clan also have their own unique methods of cultivation."
"It's not that you can make up for it by getting some real dragon inheritance and entering the Dragon Transformation Pond."
"If you really want your brother to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, or even become a True Immortal one day, why not leave him in our True Dragon Clan and let me teach him personally? How about that?"
After Long Yucheng finished speaking, he was not in a hurry for Chen Xuan to give an answer.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's mood became extremely complicated.
If Chen Jiao is allowed to stay, it will be of great benefit to his growth and even his future.
But he lost the protection of a true spirit beast in the fusion stage.
This makes Chen Xuan appear very passive in the battle.
If Chen Xuan was taken away, Chen Jiao might be able to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, or even the True Immortal Stage with the help of the Immortal Beast Tower.
But having missed this opportunity, Chen Jiao would never be able to become a true dragon.
After all, many things of the True Dragon clan are secrets that are not passed on.
A true dragon who has not undergone systematic study cannot understand it at all.
There is no way to comprehend the true secret techniques of the True Dragon Clan.
During this period, Chen Xuan was really troubled by how to make a choice.
"Senior, this matter..."
Chen Xuan pondered for a long time, then looked at Long Yucheng with a bitter smile.
Without waiting for Chen Xuan to finish his words, Chen Jiao said firmly: "Master, you can't leave me behind. I want to follow you."
"This……"
Long Yucheng was stunned.
He looked at Chen Jiao with kind eyes.
"After all, you are a cultivator from my True Dragon clan. You have the Yinglong bloodline in your body that no one else has. I can bet that your brother in life and death will have a chance to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the future."
"But if that's the case, you'll lose your true understanding of the True Dragon Clan. In this way, when you advance to a higher realm in the future, the difficulty will definitely increase greatly."
"Do you know what to pay attention to next with Yinglong bloodline? And how to practice it?"
"Do you really think that it's just a simple meditation and practice?"
"My True Dragon Clan has been passed down for so many years. From the ancient world of immortal cultivation to the present, countless years have passed. Even the True Dragon secrets that have been preserved are not comparable to those found elsewhere."
"Staying here will benefit both you and your brother in life and death."
"Besides, I am not forcing you to stay. If one day you become really strong, you can leave the True Dragon Clan at any time. Can I still force you to stay?"
Long Yucheng's words moved Chen Xuan somewhat.
Indeed, with the help of the Immortal Beast Tower, he could help Chen Jiao advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, or even to a higher level of True Immortal Realm in the future.
However, Chen Jiao lost the true and systematic inheritance of the true dragon because of this.
This is a greater loss for Chen Jiao.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan suddenly felt more determined.
"Chen Jiao!"
Chen Xuan looked at Chen Jiao with a serious gaze.
"Master, I am here!"
Chen Jiao agreed and quickly put away his true dragon form, transforming into a burly man, standing in front of Chen Xuan with a respectful expression.
Chen Xuan waved at Chen Jiao, but Chen Jiao came to Chen Xuan obediently and lowered his head quickly.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and gently stroked Chen Jiao's head.
"Are you sure you won't regret giving up the opportunity to study in the True Dragon Clan system?"
"No regrets!"
"You have to think it over. If you follow me, you may face great danger every day, or even die in battle. Are you sure you don't regret it?"
"No regrets!"
"But I will regret it."
Chen Xuan said softly.
Chen Jiao had a complicated expression. He didn't know why Chen Xuan said this.
"Master, you don't have to be afraid. Although this old guy is a strong man in the Tribulation Period, I have now successfully advanced to the Fusion Period. As long as you are willing, I, Chen Jiao, am willing to lead you and fight my way out. Even if we die, we will die together." Chen Jiao said with a firm look.
"Haha, what are you doing? It's not time to decide life or death. There's no need!"
Chen Xuan laughed, but felt inexplicably moved.
Soon, he patted Chen Jiao on the shoulder.
"Senior Long is right. If you follow me, you will still have the opportunity to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, or even to the True Immortal Realm. But what I can give you, the True Dragon Clan can still give you."
"But, the inheritance of the True Dragon Clan has been lost to you from now on!"
"In the future, it will not be so easy for you to systematically obtain the inheritance of the True Dragon Clan."
"If that's the case, I hope you can stay. For your own sake, and to protect me in the future. Got it?"
Chen Jiao said nothing, but hot tears welled up in his eyes.
"Master, I... Chen Jiao is willing to stay in the True Dragon Clan."
"That's right. You should stay in the True Dragon Clan safely. If I really encounter a crisis in the future, even if you are thousands of miles away, you will have a way to save me, right?"
"Master, rest assured. If you are in danger, I will come to you as soon as possible. This is true no matter where you are."
"Haha, I feel relieved now. Stay in the True Dragon Clan and practice well. When you have truly accepted and digested the True Dragon Clan's inheritance, it won't be too late to come find me again."
"Yes, Master! I will seize the time and work hard to get back to you as soon as possible."
"Ok!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
His eyes turned to Long Yucheng.
"Senior Long, Chen Jiao will stay in the True Dragon Clan for the time being. I hope that you True Dragon Clan can really treat it well."
When Chen Xuan said this, his tone was very calm.
But Long Yucheng clearly felt that there was a strong warning in Chen Xuan's words.
He believed that if it was a real dragon clan, Chen Jiao had really suffered some grievances.
The human being before him might really risk his life to cause trouble for the dragon clan.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen. From now on, I will personally teach Chen Jiao. When he becomes really powerful and has systematically learned the inheritance of our True Dragon Clan, if he wants to continue to follow you, I will not force him to stay."
"But, I still have one thing to say. Chen Jiao is a cultivator of my dragon clan after all. If my dragon clan needs his protection in the future, I hope that Fellow Daoist Chen can look at this incense relationship and not stop Chen Jiao."
"Senior Long, you are joking. Chen Jiao values friendship and loyalty. If the real dragon treats him well and needs him to help, he will naturally not refuse."
"Haha, I feel relieved when you say this."
"If that's the case, I'll take my leave now!"
"Chen Dao, please feel free to do as you please. By the way, the little girl from the human race who came with you has also been brought here by me. You should leave Deep Sea Dragon City together."
As Long Yucheng spoke, he pointed his finger into the air.
A huge void crack suddenly appeared in the void before his eyes.
Soon, Zhu Pin'er appeared beside Chen Xuan at a rapid speed.
"Chen Xuan, Chen Jiao? Are you okay?" Zhu Pin'er asked anxiously.
Seeing the two of them shaking their heads in silence, Zhu Pin'er also realized that something was wrong and stopped talking.
Chen Xuan looked at Chen Jiao and smiled: "Remember what I just said, work hard."
"Yes, Master!"
"I'm leaving. I'll come to see you when I have time. Or, when you become really strong, you can come to see me."
As Chen Xuan spoke, he immediately disappeared quickly with Zhu Pin'er.
When he appeared again, Chen Xuan was already beside Fairy Yanbo.
"Thank you, senior. I will definitely keep the appointment on time after I advance to the fusion stage."
"I believe that you, Daoist Chen, will not go back on your word. However, you can rest assured that I will take care of Chen Jiao for you and will never let him suffer any injustice. In fact, you have also seen that the True Dragon Clan also values Chen Jiao very much. Otherwise, Long Yucheng would not have taught Chen Jiao personally."
"Thank you, senior! I will take my leave now!"
"See you later!"
Fairy Yanbo smiled slightly and signaled Chen Xuan to leave.
Chen Xuan nodded and looked at the Feng Ling Fairy in the distance.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I will leave with you."
"Thank you fairy!"
Chen Xuan thanked them and flew towards the outside of the True Dragon Dojo with Fairy Feng Ling and Zhu Pin'er.
