Chapter 110: The Annihilation of the Azure Dragon Clan
The Azure Dragon Clan, as a top-tier clan among the myriad races and backed by the mighty True Dragon Clan, wielded considerable influence despite their average strength. They were audacious and domineering among the foreign races, sparing respect for only a few ancient royal clans. For instance, they never took the Golden Wing Great Peng clan seriously.
This unique modus operandi led to the Azure Dragon Clan’s notorious reputation among the myriad races, earning almost universal resentment. Many races wanted to eliminate them but only dared to harbor such thoughts.
After all, with the True Dragon Clan as their backer, any direct conflict could lead to their own destruction instead of the Azure Dragon Clan’s.
The methods of the True Dragon Clan were indeed terrifying. Many races perished not at the hands of humans, but by the True Dragon Clan.
At this moment, the small world inhabited by the Azure Dragon Clan was serene, resembling a heavenly realm. In a garden, Cangwu and the clan leader of the Azure Dragon Clan were walking together.
“Father, are you aware that the immortal Gu family has been annihilated?” Cangwu asked his father.
“With such a commotion, it’s hard not to know,” the clan leader replied disdainfully. “The Gu family were fools to provoke the Primordial Holy Land. Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”
Primordial Holy Land was a force on the same level as their patron, the True Dragon Clan. Offending such a power was akin to courting death.
“Why did the Primordial Holy Land make such a big move? I haven’t heard of any conflicts between them and the Gu family!” Cangwu was perplexed.
It would be understandable if there were severe conflicts between them. However, Cangwu had never heard of any disputes between Primordial Holy Land and the Gu family, yet Primordial Holy Land had annihilated the entire Gu family with such ruthless efficiency.
What kind of hatred could have provoked Primordial Holy Land to take such drastic action?
“It’s normal for you not to know,” the clan leader said calmly. “The news has not been out for long. The Gu family collaborated with the Heavenly Demons to assassinate the Holy Master of Primordial, which enraged the Primordial Holy Land!”
“Even if Primordial Holy Land didn’t act, the Gu family’s doom was inevitable. Without the Primordial Holy Land’s intervention, other forces would have acted, be it humans or our foreign clans; none would miss this opportunity.”
“The Gu family brought trouble upon themselves. Not only did they attack the Primordial Holy Land, but they also allied with the Heavenly Demons.”
“They cornered themselves with no way out. However, if they had successfully killed all the Saints of Primordial and kept it secret, none of this would have happened.”
“Their failure led to the survival of the Saints of Primordial, and the news spread. This was the root cause of their total annihilation. Of course, if they had a back like the True Dragon Clan, like us, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Speaking of the True Dragon Clan, the clan leader of the Azure Dragon Clan showed a mix of surprise and pride.
“Our Azure Dragon Clan can act so boldly in the Nine Heavens Realm because of our patron. It’s not our strength or heritage, but the support of the True Dragon Clan that enables us to behave so arrogantly, even disregarding the ancient royal clans. This is a privilege other forces can’t enjoy.”
“Father is right,” Cangwu agreed, smiling. “If the Gu family had allied with the True Dragon Clan from the beginning, the situation might have been different!”
Cangwu reasoned that if the True Dragon Clan had backed the Gu family, even Primordial Holy Land might have hesitated to act, given the prestige of the True Dragon Clan.
“Perhaps the Gu family envied us before their death,” the clan leader said, revealing a hint of pride and relief in his tone.
However, their sense of security was short-lived. Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted, and golden flames, like an ocean, engulfed their entire small world.
“The Undying Phoenix Clan! What do you want?” The Azure Dragon Clan’s cultivators were instantly alarmed by the oppressive aura.
The clan leader of the Azure Dragon Clan was the first to confront the Undying Phoenix Clan. “You’re seeking death! If you dare to act against us, the True Dragon Clan will not let you off! Moreover, attacking us without reason, the other foreign clans will not stand by idly!”
The clan leader was both angry and shocked. He couldn’t understand why the Undying Phoenix Clan would attack them unprovoked. They hadn’t offended the Undying Phoenix Clan and had always treated them with great respect, unlike how they treated other ancient royal clans.
After all, they were clever enough not to offend dominant forces like Primordial Holy Land and the Undying Phoenix Clan, knowing that these forces would retaliate regardless of consequences. Even though the True Dragon Clan might seek revenge, it would be too late.
“The True Dragon Clan is too preoccupied to care about you. Besides, we want to see the True Dragon Clan’s reaction by using you!” A cold voice resounded.
With that, an overwhelming power burst forth, and the golden flames completely enveloped their small world.
Before the absolute power, the Azure Dragon clan appeared utterly defenseless. A mighty divine fire incinerated everything. The void, the flesh, and the soul gradually perished under this power, eventually vanishing completely, turning into dust, and drifting away with the wind.
After a long time, the entire Azure Dragon clan was completely annihilated, and all the Azure Dragon within the small world were eradicated. Whether it was their divine sons or clan leaders, in the face of death, there was no difference from ordinary people. All faced only a path to death.
This action was not concealed by the Undying Phoenix clan; instead, they allowed the news to spread, even fuelling the waves behind the scenes. Soon, the news of the Azure Dragon clan’s destruction spread throughout the entire Nine Heavens Realm.
“The Azure Dragon clan has been annihilated? And by the Undying Phoenix clan, what’s going on?”
“It’s a change of eras! The Gu family was just annihilated, and now the Azure Dragon clan too, what’s happening in this era?”
“How did the Azure Dragon clan provoke the Undying Phoenix clan to the extent that they would act without regard for the True Dragon clan?”
“This is unprecedented!”
“It must be that the Azure Dragon clan relied on the True Dragon clan to do something, prompting the Undying Phoenix clan to take such drastic action!”
“I’m really curious about what the Azure Dragon clan did to provoke the Undying Phoenix clan!”
“That’s unclear!”
People discussed fervently, but no one sympathized with the Azure Dragon clan. Instead, they felt that the Azure Dragon clan must have done something unreasonable, leading to the ruthless action of the Undying Phoenix clan.
Otherwise, the Undying Phoenix clan wouldn’t have acted so drastically.
The Azure Dragon clan members in the outside world felt like vomiting blood upon hearing these news. They hadn’t done anything, and in the face of the Undying Phoenix clan, they had always kept their distance.
Despite their domineering behavior, they were actually bullies who feared the strong and never offended powers stronger than them.
This was why they had survived till now. If the Azure Dragon knew how the outside world spoke of them, and that many races were ecstatic to the point of throwing banquets, they would probably be infuriated to the point of vomiting blood.
“Huang Tian actually took action!. And quite swiftly at that! It seems he’s quite certain that there’s a problem with the True Dragon clan!” Inside a palace, an extremely beautiful figure sat on the throne, her brows tightly knit in thought.
The leader of the Vermillion Bird clan, Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan slowly raised her head, her brows gradually relaxing as she spoke solemnly, “Now, let’s see how the True Dragon clan reacts! If there’s no reaction, it might be possible to ally with the Undying Phoenix clan!”
