Controlled by Li Xinglie, Elder Longcang Liu Hongchuan murmured, "I believe that in this critical moment of life and death, some ancestral rules and rituals should be slightly relaxed. For instance, does the position of the Dragon Head necessarily have to be held by someone from the Wang family? Wang Yuanxian is indeed highly respected and possesses exceptional skills, but in reality, he is reckless and stubborn! I propose that Li Xinglie be appointed as the new Dragon Head!"
"He not only has outstanding skills but is also highly respected. When the Serpent Clan attacked, he led the Dragon Tooth Guard, charging into battle and achieving great merit! On the night when the Dragon Head faced disaster, it was Elder Li and the Li Family Head who fought to defend it, with the Li Family Head even sacrificing his life for it! If anyone else were to become Dragon Head, I would be the first to object!"
Liu Hongchuan is one of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons and the Grand Elder of the Dragon Vault. Although he is usually taciturn, no one dares to doubt the weight of his words.
Thus, when he spoke up, even though it contradicted established rituals, people merely whispered among themselves.
Li Xinglie was overjoyed but still waved his hand and said, "How can that be? The laws of our ancestors cannot be discarded! I, Li Xinglie, hold a position in the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons and command the Dragon Tooth. I am willing to guard Long City for a lifetime; that is enough for me! How could I dare to aspire to the position of Dragon Head? We should elect someone more capable! The Wang family has always been filled with talent. Although the Dragon Head has passed away and Elder Wang Yuanxian has rebelled, there is still Dragon Elder Wang Chengding who can take on this role!"
Wang Chengding shook his head but said nothing.
His usual demeanor is cold and indifferent; he rarely speaks and is generally respected in Long City, yet few pay much attention to him.
Li Xinglie intentionally brought up Wang Chengding for this reason. At this moment, the most outstanding figure from the Wang family is clearly Wang Chengding. They must either follow ancestral teachings and allow such a person to become Dragon Head or choose me and go against those teachings.
He threw out this choice right from the start, clearly having planned it for a long time.
The elders looked at each other; although they were reluctant to abandon ancestral laws in their hearts, comparing Wang Chengding with Li Xinglie made it clear that Li Xinglie was more suited for this position.
With Wang Yuanxian absent, the head of the Wang family was temporarily taken over by a younger cousin of the Dragon Head, Wang Chengtian. This person was mediocre and lacked ambition; his skills were only average, so no one even considered him.
As everyone was arguing loudly and disputing endlessly, suddenly a sound of Dragon Roar broke through the sky, and in an instant a Dragon Shadow appeared above Ten Thousand Dragon Hall!
Wang Yuanxian transformed into a True Dragon and roared angrily, forcefully exhaling a stream of Dragon Qi that resembled the purest and sharpest sword in existence. It instantly sliced through the air and descended upon the venue!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a large hole was blasted in the center of the venue, debris flying everywhere, and a sandstorm rising. In an instant, the originally serious atmosphere turned chaotic.
“Wang Yuanxian!”
Li Xinglie shouted angrily, pointing at the sky.
“On that day you escaped, I never expected you would dare to come here seeking death again! Even if you are a fugitive, your crimes are unforgivable! No matter how high your cultivation is, do you really think you can escape again and again?!”
Wang Yuanxian retracted his divine form and transformed into a regular human, descending lightly from the sky alongside Wang Long. They landed right in the center of the crowd, their expressions calm and unruffled.
“Escape? No, no, not this time... I just hope you won’t...” Wang Yuanxian said with a slight smile to Li Xinglie.
“I escaped? What a joke! With so many clan heads and elders present, do you think they would allow you to act recklessly here?”
Wang Long shouted angrily, “What a joke! Do you think that by saying this, you can bind yourself to all the elders here and have them protect your safety?”
“You little brat! You sealed the Dragon Soul within you; that night it suddenly erupted and killed the Dragon Head was not entirely your fault! But if you remain stubborn and show no remorse, instead becoming even more reckless, then don’t blame me for being heartless!”
Wang Long laughed loudly, “Heartless? If you have the ability, then let me see your heartlessness! Come!”
Saying this, he threw a powerful punch without any fancy moves, as if he were someone who had never practiced any Dragon Techniques at all—direct and straightforward!
“You little brat, seeking your own death!”
What kind of person was Li Xinglie?! How could he be afraid of a mere boy like Wang Long? With a casual wave of his hand, he effortlessly enveloped Wang Long's fist within his palm.
He was confident that with a casual wave of his hand, he could send Wang Long flying back, spitting blood.
However, before he could exert any force, a tremendous power surged forth like a raging tide, as if the sea were endlessly pouring in, and like the simultaneous collapse of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, it crashed into his palm!
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Wang Long stood firm, while Li Xinglie was sent flying like a sharp arrow, crashing straight into a stone tablet surrounding the venue, shattering it completely. At the same time, his face turned pale, and a streak of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"This..."
Everyone was taken aback, exchanging looks of astonishment and confusion.
"How did this young boy suddenly gain such strength overnight?! He sent Li Xinglie flying with one punch; even the leader..."
"Moreover, look at his appearance and demeanor; it seems like he has undergone a transformation! It's as if he has been reborn!"
"You little brat, where did you learn these unorthodox Martial Arts?! Oh, I know! It must be Elder Wang who taught you, right?!"
Wang Long sneered coldly but said nothing more, merely gazing at Li Xinglie with disdain.
"Hmph! Even if your cultivation has skyrocketed, what does it matter? Can it change the fact that you manipulated the Dragon Soul to kill your own father?!"
"Guilt? All I see is one sin written on your face!"
Wang Long didn't give him a chance to speak further. He stepped forward, both fists raised, roaring like two dragons as they lunged toward Li Xinglie!
"Don't underestimate me!"
Li Xinglie, confident with many people watching, knew that Wang Long could not hurt him. However, he was not someone to be trifled with; how could he allow Wang Long to insult him repeatedly?
With both fists striking out, one representing yin and the other yang, it was the signature move of the Li Family that Wang Long had witnessed back at Li Xinghe's place: Sun and Moon in the Sky!
However, when executed by Li Xinglie, the aura was entirely different!
It seemed as if two celestial bodies, the sun and the moon, were shining brightly, bursting forth from the front of his fists!
Wang Long did not use any Dragon Techniques; he simply relied on his fists to clash. Yet, as a master of the Dragon Bone Realm, his strength surpassed that of his opponent!
Thus, the two engaged in a fierce exchange!
Wang Long's clothes were instantly torn to shreds by the intense heat and cold, while his internal energy surged violently. Meanwhile, Li Xinglie was struck directly by a force that was straightforward and devoid of any tricks! It felt as if all the bones in his body were about to shatter, with a continuous cracking sound echoing in his ears. He was sent flying backward again, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Dragon... Dragon Bone Realm!"
