In the small group, he and Fu You were the most relaxed. At that moment, Han Xi fixed his gaze on Fu You and proposed an idea. The Dragon Qi was genuine, and there was no sign of any means of protection from Fu Xiu Emperor. Fu You's fearless attitude towards the Dragon Qi raised the possibility that she might possess dragon blood, just like Yun Shijiu.
As soon as this thought was voiced, Ying Ying from the Ying Yu Clan couldn't help but make a snide remark, suggesting that Fu Xiu Emperor must have gotten a mother dragon to end up with Batwing Ancestral Domain in such a state. After she spoke, before Fu You could explode in anger, the place where Fu Xiu Emperor was in closed-door meditation erupted first, releasing a surge of heavy Yin Qi.
Ying Ying was the most unfortunate one, her body corroded by the Yin Qi, crying out in distress. The situation escalated as the Ying Yu entity expanded, enveloping a portion of the world within its domain, barely providing a foothold amidst the overwhelming Yin Qi.
It was unclear whether Fu Xiu was dead or if only a remnant of his soul remained to cause trouble. The others understood that Ying Ying had offended Fu Xiu Emperor and quickly offered apologies. However, their apologies went unacknowledged; there was no intention to withdraw or intensify the Yin Wei, leading to a stalemate.
They hoped Fu You would say something to ease the tension, but she remained silent. She even left the protective range of Ying Yu's domain and began cultivating within the Yin Qi. The abundant Yin Qi present was highly beneficial for her Batwing form.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhi Yue remarked oddly, "You guys aren’t really stuck here for thirty days, are you?"
Yun Shijiu replied irritably, "Of course we are! Ying Ying couldn’t hold out for long; eventually, we had to switch to Xuan Hui Hui’s turtle shell for protection, and then it was Wang Zhu’s body cultivation technique. We took turns."
"In the beginning, we tried to negotiate, but that woman Fu You clearly didn’t care whether we lived or died. In a fit of anger, I decided to confront the Yin Qi directly and clashed with her."
Yun Zhi Yue responded with disbelief, "Are you stupid? She claims to be Fu Xiu Emperor's daughter! No one knows if her father is dead or alive within that Ancestral Domain. By fighting her here, aren’t you just asking for trouble?"
"I know," he admitted. "But we can't just keep dragging this out. She cultivates rapidly in the Yin Qi while we are constantly depleting our energy; I certainly can’t indulge her."
"There’s Dragon Qi in this Ancestral Domain too," he thought to himself. "I figured I wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. However, she is indeed difficult to deal with. After getting worked up, I transformed into my true form."
"I knew I would be exposed sooner or later; sister, you have connections and so many ties with various Emperors behind you. Even if the dragon clan found out about me, they wouldn’t dare do anything."
Yun Zhi Yue shot a sideways glance at her younger brother; this little rascal certainly had his plans all figured out.
"My tail is indeed dragon-like," he continued, "but my upper body hasn’t fully evolved yet; I still resemble a flood dragon. When Fu You saw my true form, I don’t know what got into her—she screamed that I deserved to die and came at me with everything she had."
"Even more absurdly," he added incredulously, "she wasn’t using Yin Qi; what she unleashed was Dragon Qi! Her cultivation soared instantly; reaching Half-Step Emperor Realm happened in the blink of an eye! Sister, isn’t that bizarre?"
Yun Zhi Yue was genuinely shocked and quickly asked, "What happened next?"
Yun Shijiu grimaced as he replied, "What could I do? Fearing that Han Xi would get dragged into my mess, I ran for my life—far away from them. That woman Fu You truly pursued me relentlessly; there’s too great a gap between us at Half-Step Emperor Realm."
Just when he thought he was doomed, Fu Xiu Emperor's Yin Wei surged again and swallowed him up. After that came complete loss of power as he evaded Evil Spirits until he ran into his sister again.
Yun Zhi Yue racked her brain, realizing that the sudden appearance of a Half-Step Emperor Realm was absolutely abnormal. The fact that even the Emperor had not detected anything unusual under his watch indicated that there were at least Imperial Realm methods at play.
What if this so-called daughter of the Fu Xiu Emperor was just trying to deceive them? After all, they had come to the Bat Shadow Clan and had not seen any other clansmen vouching for Fu You. This woman had initially claimed she wanted to take Zhao Yue to the Ancestral Domain.
Yun Shijiu's eyes flickered as he slapped his thigh. "I understand now! Her target from the very beginning was the Dragon Clan Prodigy!"
