"They've all run away?"
Long Chen was momentarily stunned, then nodded and said, "Not bad. The disciples of the Dragon Clan have gained a bit more backbone and courage than I imagined." As
soon as Long Chen said this, the Dragon Clan Human Emperors present instantly blushed with embarrassment, and at the same time, they marveled at Long Chen's wisdom.
Long Chen could basically guess the situation in the Dragon Domain from just one sentence: when Bai Yingxuan returned to the Dragon Domain with the White Dragon Clan, she had shown Long Chen's Recording Jade to everyone.
When they learned that the dragon ancestors were deep within the Great Wilderness, they immediately prepared to set out to search for them.
However, their actions were stopped by the Dragon Clan's senior members, mainly because of the previously mentioned matters—whether the information was reliable, whether it was a trap, whether Long Chen and the Brahma Pill Valley had ulterior motives, and so on.
At that time, the top young powerhouses were furious; they had already endured the internal strife among the dragon clan's leaders and the endless scheming and intrigue.
Even though they knew the depths of the Great Wilderness were endlessly perilous and likely to be gone forever, they would rather die there than waste their prime youth on boring internal strife.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of Dragon Domain disciples nearly rebelled. Facing the higher-ups' obstruction, they took on a battle stance and declared directly: "You either let me go, or kill me on the spot."
In the end, the Dragon Clan leaders had no choice but to compromise and let them leave. In fact, Bai Yingxue wanted to go with them, but she always remembered Long Chen's promise—she would wait for him to arrive.
At that time, among the top young powerhouses of the entire Dragon Clan, only their group remained, so in the previous great battles, Long Chen hardly saw many young disciples get involved.
To put it bluntly, the younger generation of disciples has become utterly disappointed in the higher-ups. They would rather die than leave this environment, or else they won't find the meaning of their own existence.
In Long Chen's words, the younger generation of Dragon Clan disciples is far stronger than these old fellows. They risk their lives to leave their comfort zones, and it takes more than just courage.
Faced with Long Chen's mockery, these Human Emperor powerhouses remained silent—not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't. After all, looking back, they were too foolish.
If only they had united from the start, worked hard to improve, and avoided internal strife, the current Dragon Clan would never be in this state.
"Dean Long Chen, what are your plans next? Or do you have any instructions for our Dragon Domain?" The White Dragon Clan chief probed.
The clan leader of the White Dragon Clan was wise. With this conversation, he discreetly sought out the Chaos Dragon Emperor to see if he had left them any instructions.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "You don't need to test the waters. The Dragon Emperor is very disappointed in your actions. He originally wanted to say something, but in the end, all that remains is a sigh. You can imagine that scene yourselves!" Long
Chen's words sent a chill through everyone's bodies. Their hearts felt as if they were being cut by knives. Clearly, they had deeply disappointed the Dragon Emperor. Hearing the Dragon Emperor's sighs, they wished they could atone with their lives.
"Dean Long Chen, since the Dragon Emperor didn't leave any instructions, could you please guide us in the right direction? As long as you point it out, we will comply, even if it means going through fire and water, shattering our bones. The Red Dragon Clan chief stepped forward, gritting his teeth.
"Even if you order us to attack the Eight Domains of Brahma, we will set out immediately, never a single brow." The chief of the Black Dragon Clan chief also chimed in.
"We are sinners of the Dragon Domain. Please give us a chance to redeem ourselves. Even if we die, at least we can do something for the Dragon Domain before we die. Otherwise, how can we face the ancestors of the Dragon Clan!"
For a moment, these powerful Human Emperors wore sorrowful faces. The Dragon Emperor's sigh made them completely repent. They hoped that in their lifetime, they could do something for the Dragon Domain. They could not continue like this.
Seeing this, Long Chen's heart softened. These Human Emperor experts were actually brave warriors. Long Chen sighed and said, "
Not bad, you're just foolish, not bad!"
As soon as Long Chen said this, everyone couldn't help but smile wryly: "What you said doesn't seem like a compliment." "
I can accept someone's foolishness, but I can't accept their faults. If you have that kind of awareness, I think you people can still get along!" Long Chen said.
Long Chen's words left everyone both amused and exasperated, but they also felt much more at ease. They clearly felt that Long Chen had lost a trace of coldness and gained a hint of affinity.
At this moment, they finally understood Long Chen's identity. Being able to communicate with the Dragon Emperor meant he was essentially the Dragon Emperor's personal disciple. Previously, they had actually resisted Long Chen's command—just thinking about it, it was utterly foolish.
"How long have your disciples been gone?" Long Chen asked.
"It's been five days already!" The chief of the Red Dragon Clan said with a face full of shame.
Thinking back now, they almost clashed with their disciples at the end of the war and were so ashamed they could hardly believe it. They even wondered if they were possessed by demons at that time, and how could they have acted so foolishly?
"That's fine. You guys pack up and go chase them together." Long Chen said.
"What do you mean?" Everyone was greatly astonished.
"The Dragon Domain no longer needs to exist. In the past, the altar was the hope of the Dragon Domain's future, but now, they are the hope for the future.
Protecting them is protecting the future of the Dragon Domain. At this moment, do I need to remind you of anything? Long Chen retorted.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
At this moment, everyone suddenly understood. The altar was already destroyed, and there was no longer any need to guard the Dragon Domain. Their greatest task was to nurture the growth of these disciples, which was also a way to make up for their mistakes.
Once they understood Long Chen's meaning, the clan leaders immediately gathered all the powerful ones and began packing up.
When they heard they were leaving the Dragon Domain, the entire domain was in an uproar. They had lived here for generations, and suddenly being forced to leave filled their hearts with reluctance.
But even though they were reluctant, the clan leader gave the order and had to comply. Fortunately, the Dragon Domain had enough and large Ten Thousand Dragon Nests, more than enough for them to complete the move.
After a whole day of tossing and turning around, they finally finished tidying up. All the dragon clan experts stood atop the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, looking at the familiar surroundings. Thinking about leaving and possibly never returning, many were moved to tears.
Even the clan leaders and strong warriors couldn't help but feel uneasy seeing this scene. Long Chen stood among the crowd and said calmly, "
Think about those warriors who, for their dreams and the future of the dragon clan, knew their chances of survival were slim but resolutely charged into the Great Wilderness. What were they feeling at that time?"
As soon as Long Chen spoke, the dragon clan experts were shaken, and at Long Chen's command,
"Rumble... The
golden rhinoceros pulled the golden war chariot slowly deeper into the Great Wilderness, with countless Ten Thousand Dragon Nests following behind the chariots. The dragon clan began a large-scale migration.
Inside the chariot, Long Chen looked ahead, his blood beginning to heat up:
"Great Wilderness, here I come."
