After the elder said this, he suddenly bowed to Lin Fan before saying, "Void God's successor, I apologize for what has happened. I will personally ensure that everything is settled and nothing will bother you again."
Before giving Lin Fan a chance to speak, the elder suddenly picked up Qing Qiang and was about to leave with him.
But then as if he suddenly thought of something, the elder turned around to say, "Void God's successor, please come and see the Great Elders when they send a summon. There's much that we need to discuss."
Then this time, without giving Lin Fan a chance to say anything, he disappeared from the spot.
Everyone in the room was just left there with a confused look on their face.
After a long moment of silence, the Azure Dragon Tribe head asked out loud, "What happened just now?"
There wasn't a single person that was able to answer this question for him.
But this did draw out a reaction from the people in the room…or rather it drew out a reaction from Qing Bao Lan.
She finally realized that she had almost died just now, so she burst out into tears.
When she burst out into tears, Xiao Feng, Qing Ao, and the Azure Dragon Tribe head were all stirred into action.
Xiao Feng who was still holding her started patting her on the back while Qing Ao and the Azure Dragon Tribe head came over to calm her down.
Of course, the one that had the most effect was Xiao Feng which left a bitter smile on the faces of Qing Ao and the Azure Dragon Tribe head.
After a long silence, Lin Fan finally gave a sigh and said, "There's nothing to gain from thinking about it too much. We should wait to be summoned by the elders and see what they have to say."
The others all hesitated a bit before agreeing with what Lin Fan said.
There was no blaming them for this since this matter was just too unpredictable and confusing for them.
The only clue that Lin Fan had was…that the Dragon God fragment had also called him the Void God's successor. Perhaps that meant that the Dragon God left some kind of message for the Dragon Race before ascending.
Perhaps that was the reason why the elder had reacted so strongly…
But these were all guesses that didn't mean a thing unless they were confirmed, so there was no need to think too deeply about it. Instead, it was better to spend some time on thinking about a backup plan.
If the Dragon Race elders were to plan on doing something…it would be easy for them to disappear from this place since they had the system.
If they were planning on doing something, Lin Fan would immediately teleport back to the Lin Astral Empire.
However, before that, he would make sure that he would be able to get some benefits first.
…
A few days later, the invite from the elders came just like that elder had said.
It was sent secretly to the Azure Dragon Tribe head instead of being sent openly to the Azure Dragon Tribe and the invite asked for the Void God's successor and Xiao Feng.
They clearly had some intentions in inviting the two of them alone, but Lin Fan didn't mind playing along if it meant that he could get the information that he wanted. After all, he had a way of escaping even in front of all these elders that they couldn't stop.
Even if they tried to stop him, it wouldn't work even if they killed him.
The system would just revive him since this was a cultivation realm and he would be able to revive in a different place because of the system. Once he was revived, he would immediately be able to escape using the system's transport.
So there was nothing that they could do to trap him.
In short, he was the one that held all the cards in this situation.
The others weren't as happy about this arrangement and wanted to go with him.
They understood the power of the system, which they thought was the master of the store, but they still couldn't help worrying about Lin Fan.
But in the end, Lin Fan convinced them not to follow and just told them to be ready to leave at any moment.
After that, he followed the Azure Dragon Tribe head to the elder hall.
This was a special place on the Dragon Race homeworld that was located right where the core of the planet was. It was a place where the most intense life energy on this planet gathered, so it was the most suited place to cultivate.
These elders of the Dragon Race were the strongest experts of the Dragon Race, coming from all the different tribes. They were the last guardians of the Dragon Race if something happened, so of course they needed the best cultivation space.
This was considered one of the most secret places of the Dragon Race, it was definitely a place that outsiders wouldn't be able to enter. Even members of the Dragon Race would find it hard to get approved for a visit to the elders hall.
But Lin Fan and Xiao Feng were led there without any hindrance.
Since this was a secret meeting, the Azure Dragon Tribe head brought them to meet two cloaked elders that would lead them the rest of the way.
The path had already been completely cleared for them.
Normally, there would be many guards since this was one of the most secret places for the Dragon Race, but all of those guards had been dismissed.
It was just an empty path that they traveled on.
When they arrived at the entrance to the elders hall, the Azure Dragon Tribe head was surprised to find that he was being led to another area.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head narrowed his eyes to look at the two elders and said, "What is the meaning of this? I was supposed to be their guide, so I should be guiding them all the way. You're telling me to leave all of a sudden and I should just listen to you?"
The two elders didn't say anything out loud in response to this.
Instead, one of the elders came over to whisper something into the Azure Dragon Tribe head's ear.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head had a skeptical look at first, but when he heard what the elder whispered, his brows immediately knitted together. He narrowed his eyes to glare at this elder before saying, "Is what you said true?"
The elder gave a simple nod before turning back to head over to where Lin Fan was.
However, Lin Fan didn't move as he kept watching the Azure Dragon Tribe head.
Finally, the Azure Dragon Tribe head said, "I'll go with you then."
The elder gave a nod and with a snap, there was a cloaked figure that appeared.
This cloaked figure wasn't wearing the elder cloak, but rather the cloak of one of the elite guards of the Dragon Race.
These elite guards were those that couldn't become elders, but were the most powerful soldiers of the Dragon Race. They had power that was at the same level as the tribe leaders and were just under the elders.
This elite guard gestured for the Azure Dragon Tribe head to follow him.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head revealed a guilty look before saying to Lin Fan, "I need to go with them."
Lin Fan could see from his expression that this was something that was important to him, so he said with a nod, "You don't need to worry about me. Just go and do what you need to do."
The Azure Dragon Tribe head gave a nod and said, "Thank you."
Then the two of them headed off in a completely different direction.
Lin Fan could already guess what the elders had used to bait the Azure Dragon Tribe head and he couldn't blame him for it.
There was only one thing that could incite him like that…
It was Qing Qiang.
The elder had taken Qing Qiang away to deal with him, but it seemed like Qing Qiang was still being kept alive by these elders.
But Lin Fan didn't mind since he knew how the Azure Dragon Tribe head felt about Qing Qiang.
He hoped that he would be able to come up with a good solution for Qing Qiang.
After the Azure Dragon Tribe head left, the elder gestured for Lin Fan to follow them as one of them said, "This way, please."
Lin Fan nodded before following them without a word.
The two of them led the way up to a gate where there were actual guards standing outside this time.
When the guards saw the elders leading Lin Fan and Xiao Feng, they just revealed a strange look. They didn't make any moves to stop them and they were allowed to pass quickly.
It was clear that they had already been informed about the arrival of Lin Fan and Xiao Feng.
After stepping through the gate, Lin Fan and Xiao Feng couldn't help being taken aback by the concentration of life energy in the air in this place.
It was much greater than anything that they had experienced before. It was even greater than any training room in the Lin Astral Empire or even the store.
But this was a training place for Rulers, so it wasn't strange that the concentration of life energy in the air was this strong.
The elders led them right up to the only building in this place and then gestured for them to follow them in.
