Chapter 458: Chapter 350 Can You Knock Like This? _1
With a wild burst of laughter, the world around them suddenly became imprisoned!
Wushuang’s expression changed, “First Elder!”
A silver-haired youth suddenly appeared without causing even the slightest ripple in space, materializing out of thin air two yards in front of Li Cheng and Wushuang.
The youth’s silver hair danced with no wind, and his handsome, fair-skinned face was adorned with an amused smile, making him appear quite eerie.
He was the Dragon Clan’s First Elder, the most revered beneath the Clan Leader.
The First Elder had lived for over six billion years, and his human form had always retained the appearance of a youth.
“To suppress the thirteenth Elder with a formation in the early stage of Divine Venerable is somewhat interesting. You must be the one who caused the phenomenon in the Divine World when you broke through to Divine Venerable, the son of Confucius Ancestor!”
The First Elder measured Li Cheng up and down, the playful smile on his face undiminished, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
Li Cheng was also sizing up the First Elder, finding his presence as vast as the sea and unfathomable, creating an intense sense of danger.
But Li Cheng’s expression remained calm as he clasped his fists, saying, “Li Cheng of the Confucian Sect, I have seen the First Elder of the Dragon Clan!”
“Hehe, a mere junior, upon meeting an elder yet fails to perform a bow, I’ve heard the Confucian Sect values etiquette above all, it seems it’s not the case,” the First Elder sneered.
Li Cheng was not offended and said, “The Confucian Sect indeed has numerous etiquettes. A bow is suitable for elders who have earned one’s respect. But for the First Elder, a fist-clasping salute is already sufficient.”
A trace of killing intent flashed through the First Elder’s eyes, and without dwelling on the matter, he got straight to the point, “Hand over the Dragon Clan’s inheritance within your Divine World, as well as the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance, then get lost!”
“Devouring Ancient Dragon?” Wushuang looked at Li Cheng in shock. Li Cheng had obtained the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance?
Li Cheng shrugged, “I don’t like the sound of that, First Elder. If you want the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance, you should start by saying something nice!”
The First Elder’s expression darkened, “You want to hear nice words? Or do you want to stay alive?”
“Threaten me? First Elder, you should be aware, if I die, the inheritance will never be found. As the son of Confucius Ancestor, I have that skill, right?” Li Cheng said calmly.
Wushuang was even more astonished; the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance was really in Li Cheng’s hands?
Within the Dragon Clan, nothing was more precious than the Dragon Ancestor’s inheritance and the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance. However, the Dragon Ancestor’s inheritance was so ancient that it was possible it didn’t exist anymore.
But the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance certainly did exist!
The First Elder’s complexion turned grim, “How will you agree to hand over the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance?”
Li Cheng extended a finger, “Three conditions!”
“Speak!”
Li Cheng smiled, glancing at Wushuang, “Your First Elder doesn’t seem quite as you described him, seems like he can be quite reasonable after all!”
Wushuang’s eyelids twitched; it was the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance they were talking about. Not to mention three conditions, it’s possible they might even accept Li Cheng as their master.
Li Cheng continued, “First, on behalf of the Monster Race, apologize to all the tribes of the Divine World, because when the God Race attacked, your Monster Race shrunk back, not lifting a finger for the Divine World.”
The First Elder nodded without hesitation, “It can be done!”
Li Cheng was not surprised; since he agreed to this condition, then things would be easier.
“Second, open up Dragon Island. From now on, the Dragon Clan will not forbid deep-level interaction with the Human Tribe, nor will it interfere with contract signing!”
With those words, the First Elder’s brow furrowed, “You wish the Human Tribe to enslave my Dragon Clan?”
“Not slavery, just equal interaction,” said Li Cheng.
“Hmph! Signing a contract with the Human Tribe, how is that equal? Even if it is an equal contract, it is still slavery to my Dragon Clan!” the First Elder said sternly.
Li Cheng shrugged, “If the First Elder thinks so, then so be it. The Human Tribe is considered the most esteemed among all spirits, look at yourself, don’t you also take human form? If you detest the Human Tribe so much, why take on a human form?”
The First Elder snorted coldly, “My Dragon Clan will absolutely not permit signing contracts with the Human Tribe, becoming their mounts.”
“Then there’s nothing to discuss!” Li Cheng said without hesitation.
The First Elder furrowed his brows, desiring to kill Li Cheng and search for the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance from his corpse, but if he really did that, he might never find it.
And if he indeed did that, the Dragon Clan would have completely offended the Confucian Sect, and disaster for the Dragon Clan would be inevitable.
Considering this, the First Elder took a deep breath, “The bottom line for my Dragon Clan is an equal contract! Should anyone wish to force my Dragon Clan into a master-servant contract, it will be a fight to the death!”
Li Cheng smiled satisfactorily, “Naturally, a contract should be based on mutual willingness.”
Excitement coursed through Wushuang, not because of the opportunity to sign contracts with humans, but because of the opening up of Dragon Island!
Opening Dragon Island would mean breaking the Dragon Clan out of its self-imposed isolation, which would undoubtedly benefit their development!
Moreover, if deep-level interaction was no longer restricted, wouldn’t that mean even marriage with the Human Tribe would be possible?
“And the third condition?” the First Elder asked.
“The third, to tell the truth, the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s inheritance includes the bloodline inheritance and the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod. The bloodline inheritance goes to the Dragon Clan, but the Tripod is mine!”
“Also, I will spend some time on Dragon Island to observe, and I will decide who gets the bloodline inheritance!”
Having said that, Li Cheng watched the First Elder quietly.
The First Elder narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment before saying, “Bloodline inheritance is a matter of great importance, how can an outsider like you decide who gets it? It must go to me, and I’ll decide!”
Li Cheng shook his head, “What I’ve obtained, I’ll give to whoever I wish. If the First Elder doesn’t agree, then I won’t give it at all!”
