Over the next few days, nothing happened in the Azure Dragon Tribe.
Lin Fan and the rest remained in the secret room inside of the head's manor since they couldn't freely walk around the Azure Dragon Tribe.
After all, they weren't supposed to be there in the first place.
So they had to spend the time entertaining themselves.
It was a good thing that they were cultivators, so they could just focus on cultivating instead of being bored.
Xiao Feng on the other hand didn't get a single moment's rest.
Since Xiao Feng was the new hottest topic in the Dragon Race, he was someone that everyone wanted to meet. Not to mention, since he was now the true descendant of the Dragon Race, he was someone that had plenty of responsibilities.
In short, he was to the Dragon Race like Lin Fan was to the Lin Astral Empire.
Lin Fan left Xiao Feng to the Azure Dragon Tribe head to take care of during this time, but he also made sure to give Xiao Feng a few things that would protect him if he was ever in danger.
But of course, nothing of that sort happened.
Everyone knew just how important Xiao Feng was to the Dragon Race, so not a single person would dare do anything in public. The moment that they did, they would be chased down by the entire Dragon Race and there would be no future for them.
So anyone that wanted to do anything did what they could to try and find where Xiao Feng went at night.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head had already thought of this, so he brought Xiao Feng back to this secret room every night.
This was a room that only he and certain members of the Azure Dragon Tribe knew about, so it was impossible for people to come here and disturb them.
Or at least that was what everyone thought.
…
After he had escaped, Qing Qiang had somehow made his way back to the Azure Dragon Tribe.
Wherever he went, for some reason, people would always disappear.
He didn't know why he didn't encounter a single person, including guards in places that should have guards. However, once again he chalked that up to him being the main character and the universe looking out for him.
He was able to make it all the way to the Azure Dragon Tribe head's manor.
This was a place that he couldn't be more familiar with since he had been here countless times. So he was able to easily find a path in and a place to hide in the manor.
From there, he went on with his plan to find Xiao Feng.
He hid in the cracks of the manor and listened to the conversation between the servants of the manor. However, he wasn't able to hear a single thing about Xiao Feng's location from them.
It was clear that not a single one of them knew where Xiao Feng was…but that was also a clue for him.
After all, if no one knew where Xiao Feng went, there was only one place that he could have gone.
Back when he was younger, his father had shown him and his brother a secret passage in his manor. This was a secret passage that was used to secure the safety of both him as the head and his family, which included Qing Qiang and Qing Ao.
So he knew where this secret room and passage was.
If one wanted to hide something, this secret room was naturally the best choice.
So Qing Qiang made his way through the ceiling of the building and made his way to the secret room.
He also knew about a secret passage into the space above the secret room, which was something that only he and his brother knew. This was a space that they had created in secret as a hiding spot for when they wanted to hide from their father.
So no one else knew about this at all.
From that hidden space, he could easily see what was inside of the hidden room.
To his surprise, he found that it wasn't just Xiao Feng and Qing Bao Lan who were alone in this room. There were also several other people who were currently in the room with the two of them.
However, he completely ignored those other people.
The only one that he cared about at this moment was Xiao Feng.
Qing Qiang secretly gathered his life energy and prepared to attack.
He didn't believe that with his cultivation, he wouldn't be able to take care of Xiao Feng in a single attack.
As long as he could take care of Xiao Feng and take the corpse away, then he would be able to find a safe place to absorb the ancestral bloodline. Once he had this bloodline, they would have no choice but to side with him since Xiao Feng would already be dead.
If they didn't, then that would mean losing the ancestral bloodline which was the last thing that the Dragon Race wanted.
As long as he was able to successfully steal the ancestral bloodline, Qing Qiang would be able to get everything that belonged to him.
He even revealed a look of joy as if he could already see what he would obtain once his plan succeeded.
It was as if he could already see himself stepping over his father and brother who had stood in his way his entire life.
But Qing Qiang only allowed himself to fantasize about this for a bit before focusing his mind. He knew that he still hadn't achieved his goal yet and he was only on the threshold of it, so he needed to focus.
Once he finished gathering his life energy, he didn't waste any time to aim his attack at Xiao Feng.
Luckily for him, Xiao Feng was currently being held by Qing Bao Lan.
He knew that if he used Qing Bao Lan as bait, he would be able to get Xiao Feng to block the attack.
Not for a single second did he feel any guilt about using his niece as bait…he didn't even care if Qing Bao Lan died. That was just how he felt about his own family…
So Qing Qiang turned his claw in Qing Bao Lan's direction before…suddenly bursting out of the ceiling.
His sudden attack had caught everyone in the room off guard since no one had thought that they would be attacked in a place like this.
By the time that they reacted, it was already too late for them to do anything since Qing Qiang's claw was right over Qing Bao Lan.
Xiao Feng saw this and as Qing Qiang expected, he turned around to grab Qing Bao Lan and used his own body to block the attack.
As soon as he saw this, Qing Qiang immediately revealed a smile and gathered even more of his life energy in his attack. He wanted to make sure that this one attack would kill Xiao Feng before anyone else was able to react.
As the claw was about to reach Xiao Feng and Qing Qiang had an excited look, there was a barrier that suddenly appeared in front of this claw.
When the claw collided with the barrier, there was a second of equilibrium before…Qing Qiang's claw was blown away.
Qing Qiang immediately revealed a shocked look, but he didn't allow himself to be idle.
The force that the barrier sent him back with wasn't that strong, so he was still able to act. So he didn't hesitate at all to attack Qing Bao Lan and Xiao Feng again with his other claw.
While this one wasn't as strong as the other since this was a quick attack, he still believed that it would be strong enough to take down these two juniors.
It was just too bad that the barrier that had blocked him was still there.
When the claw clashed against the barrier, there wasn't a moment of balance that happened this time. Instead, Qing Qiang's attack was completely shattered and he was sent flying into the wall.
When Qing Qiang looked closely at the barrier to find what had happened, he found that…there were traces of his life energy that were still there. He could see that the barrier was slowly absorbing his life energy.
After being blown away, Qing Qiang knew that he wouldn't have a chance to ambush them.
So instead of using his human form to attack, Qing Qiang started to transform into his dragon form. But before he could expand into his large dragon form, there was a pressure that suddenly fell down onto him.
This pressure completely made him unable to move and his transformation stopped, shrinking him back into his human form.
Qing Qiang tried to fight back against this pressure, but he found that he couldn't break free at all.
As for where this pressure came from…it wasn't anyone in the room.
It was a cloaked figure that was in the ceiling, where he had been before.
He immediately recognized this cloak as the cloak of the Dragon Race elders, but he didn't know how an elder had gotten there in the first place.
But that was also the last thing that Qing Qiang saw as the pressure knocked him out.
Once Qing Qiang had been knocked out, the elder jumped down from the ceiling and turned to look at Lin Fan.
He looked at him for a bit before saying, "The Void God successor…the prophecy was true…"
