Huo Feng looked at Long You in surprise, then turned his incredulous gaze to the four Elders of the Dragon Clan. Just a moment ago, they were ready to fight him to the death, yet the assassins had unhesitatingly agreed to something. This left Huo Feng extremely curious about what Long You had said to them that made them change their minds so quickly.
While Huo Feng was still pondering the reason behind this, Long You and the Four Elders faced him simultaneously, lowering their proud heads and shouting, "We pledge our allegiance to the new Dragon Emperor. We are willing to follow the Dragon Emperor's lead and guide our Dragon Clan towards prosperity."
As the words of the five leaders of the Dragon Clan echoed, a unified voice rose from below in Dragon Valley: "We greet the Dragon Emperor!"
"Hahaha... It seems like the Dragon Clan has some great news. Since we have the fortune to meet, let's celebrate and congratulate the new Dragon Emperor."
Just as Huo Feng was preparing to respond, a group of people suddenly appeared above Dragon Valley. Among them were two familiar figures: Li Lie, the leader of Li Huo Sect, and Ruo Beifeng, the leader of Beast Cultivation Sect. It was Li Lie who spoke with a hearty laugh.
Huo Feng chose not to acknowledge them at first and walked over to Long You, gesturing for him and the others to rise. Only then did Huo Feng fly over to Li Lie and Ruo Beifeng, smiling lightly as he said, "I presume you are two of the leaders from the ancient Three Major Sects?"
Li Lie looked at Huo Feng with great interest and replied, "Oh? How did you come to that conclusion?"
Huo Feng maintained his calm smile and said, "Hehe! Although I am young, it would be wise not to underestimate me; that could be quite dangerous."
"Hahaha... Interesting! At first, I couldn't understand why someone so young from the Dragon Clan would be chosen as the Dragon Emperor. It seems you are indeed capable," Li Lie laughed heartily.
Ruo Beifeng, who had been silent until now, also wore an appreciative smile and said, "Indeed impressive. If my child could be like you, I would feel at ease; however, it seems you prefer to exist in human form."
"He is not a purebred dragon; he is a traitor of humanity who has joined forces with beasts."
Suddenly, an angry voice erupted from behind Ruo Beifeng's group. As soon as this voice was heard, it ignited fury among the entire Dragon Clan. Long You and the Four Elders flew to Huo Feng's side, glaring at Ruo Beifeng and his companions. Despite their anger, they did not act because their current Dragon Emperor Huo Feng had yet to speak.
However, their restraint did not prevent other dragons from taking action. At that moment, Long Xiang soared into the air. The words spoken were akin to calling her child a hybrid; how could she not be furious? Golden light flickered in her claws as she prepared to attack the person who had spoken.
Huo Feng looked up at Long Xiang and suddenly spoke decisively: "Mother, don't act rashly; I will handle this myself."
Long Xiang halted her attack upon seeing Huo Feng's determined gaze. Ultimately, she withdrew her claws and came beside Huo Feng, softly saying, "Child, whatever you choose to do, your mother supports you."
Huo Feng looked at Long Xiang. For the first time in a completely conscious state, he experienced his mother's love—a feeling entirely different from that of his father. This strengthened Huo Feng's resolve to bring his mother back to reunite with his father.
Huo Feng turned his gaze toward the crowd on the opposite side and smirked disdainfully as he said, "I know you. What’s wrong? You dare insult me but lack the courage to show your face? Who was it that boasted they would destroy me next time we met?"
Qianxin had never been treated this way before. As Ruo Beifeng's son in Beast Cultivation Sect, no one dared speak to him like this; everyone respected him somewhat. This made Qianxin feel particularly humiliated and instantly furious. He stepped forward and shouted at Huo Feng: "You think you can act arrogant before me just because you're now the Dragon Emperor? The Dragon Clan must have become blind after being out of touch with reality for so long."
"Get lost, you scoundrel! When did it become your turn to speak here? Hurry up and apologize to the Dragon Emperor, or you'll see how I punish you."
Ruo Beifeng slammed Qianxin to the ground with a powerful strike, sending him rolling far away. He cursed angrily as Qianxin got up from the ground, his face flushed and blood starting to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
Qianxin glared at Huo Feng. They dared not defy their father's orders, but asking him to apologize to Huo Feng was the most humiliating thing he could imagine; he absolutely could not do it.
Seeing Qianxin's state, Ruo Beifeng's anger surged. He had initially held back with that strike, but now that Qianxin refused to listen and showed no intention of apologizing, Ruo Beifeng felt he could no longer secretly help him. He raised his hand again, ready to give Qianxin a harsh lesson.
At that moment, Huo Feng suddenly spoke up, "I presume this is the leader of the Beast Cultivation Sect? I am Huo Feng. If you don't mind, I would like to spar with your son. May I?"
Huo Feng's words stunned Ruo Beifeng. He hadn't expected Huo Feng to act this way. He stopped in surprise and looked at Huo Feng, saying, "Dragon Emperor, this might not be appropriate. Please don't take offense; such reckless words could undermine your status."
Ruo Beifeng was also worried that Huo Feng might have some special means; otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen as the Dragon Emperor.
However, Qianxin, who was seething with anger on the side, secretly hoped that Huo Feng would persist. If he could defeat Huo Feng in battle, he would regain his face.
While Qianxin worried about whether Huo Feng would back down, Huo Feng had other plans in mind. He intended to use this opportunity to suppress Qianxin and also showcase himself in front of Ruo Beifeng. This might increase his chances of success when discussing Ruo Xi later.
With a smile, Huo Feng said, "It's fine. Since this is the first time the dragon clan has come out, we don't want to create enmity with humans. Let's consider this a friendly match—just a way to make friends and reduce enemies. I hope Ruo Zongzhu can accommodate this."
Huo Feng hit the nail on the head; if Ruo Beifeng refused a friendly match, it would clearly indicate he was unwilling to befriend the dragon clan and would create animosity instead. This deepened Ruo Beifeng's impression of Huo Feng; he increasingly felt that Huo Feng was not simple. However, since Huo Feng had proposed it this way, he had no choice but to agree.
With a smile, Ruo Beifeng said, "In that case, I will let my son take on this battle."
Upon hearing this, Qianxin felt a surge of joy in his heart. Now you’ve brought this upon yourself; you can’t blame me for it. As they say, fists have no eyes—if I accidentally kill you, it’s just an accident.
Thinking this way, a barely perceptible smirk appeared at the corner of Qianxin's mouth as he stared intently at Huo Feng.
Ruo Beifeng turned to Qianxin and said, "It's rare for the Dragon Emperor to give you an opportunity without punishment; you should be grateful. Go ahead and remember to keep it within limits—a proper friendly match."
After saying this, Ruo Beifeng turned back to Huo Feng and asked, "Dragon Emperor, do you have any requirements or suggestions for this match?"
Huo Feng smiled and replied, "Since it's a match, we should follow normal rules. Since it's impromptu, let's start right here and now. Both of us can use all our means; outsiders must not interfere. As they say, fists have no eyes—if there are any injuries or fatalities, neither side will pursue responsibility. On our side of the dragon clan, I'll have the former Dragon Emperor and the elders guarantee this. What do you think, Ruo Zongzhu?"
Upon hearing this, Ruo Beifeng's heart tightened. Did this young Dragon Emperor intend to kill his son due to their previous conflicts? That would be very detrimental for the dragon clan's reputation; did he really have confidence in defeating Qianxin without killing him?
Regardless of what Huo Feng was thinking now, Ruo Beifeng had no way out. Although he felt there was a high possibility that Huo Feng would hold back because of their past issues, his son was still going against Huo Feng—which made him extremely worried.
However, Qianxin did not consider these matters; he was solely focused on how to regain face in front of Huo Feng, even to the extent of wanting to kill Huo Feng.
This old rule could be a matter of life and death for Qianxin. Although Ruo Beifeng had no choice but to agree, he was still quietly discussing with Li Lie.
Meanwhile, on the dragon side, Huo Feng looked at Dragon Emperor, Long Xiang, and the Four Elders, trying to gauge their reactions.
Long Xiang was unfazed because she could see through Qianxin's strength at a glance. Huo Feng had no issues at all. However, she patiently reminded Huo Feng that he should deal with Qianxin severely. When it came time to discuss his matters with Ruo Xi, there would inevitably be some complications. She advised, "Son, you really shouldn't have proposed this competition; it will affect your relationship with Ruo Xi."
Long You also expressed confusion, saying, "Not only that, but this will also create conflicts between both sides, leading to enmity."
Huo Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course, I have considered all of this. Don't you think that if I handle this well, it won't lead to enmity? Instead, it will instill fear in everyone, making those who covet us think twice before acting recklessly."
With this explanation from Huo Feng, they suddenly understood and nodded in agreement with his approach.
At this moment, Huo Feng turned and took a few steps toward the direction of the Beast Cultivation Sect and Li Huo Sect, then said, "Ruo Zongzhu, have you considered my proposal? Do you agree?"
Ruo Beifeng looked at Huo Feng and then smiled, saying, "Alright, I agree. I truly envy you young people; you are always full of passion."
