57: Chapter 56 Dragon Island Unifies, Hui People Accept the Legacy

Breaking through the encirclement did not mean they could escape.

The three Spirit Clan Elders flickered and immediately gave chase. Their speed was much faster than the injured Three Great Dragon Kings.

Thus, a strange sight appeared over East Dragon Island: three massive Taixu Ancient Dragons were fleeing desperately, hoping to regroup with their six Dou Sheng subordinates outside as quickly as possible.

Behind them, the three Spirit Clan Four-Star Dou Shengs followed closely. As they pursued, they continuously unleashed Soul Dou Techniques, relentlessly torturing them.

Shrill dragon roars mixed with screams of agony echoed across East Dragon Island, resounding throughout the entire island.

"Argh! Where on earth did Qing Shan find these Four-Star Dou Shengs who excel at Soul attacks!"

The North Dragon King roared inwardly in a frenzy as he fled, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

The pain of one's Soul being torn apart was a hundred times more unbearable than a physical injury.

The Three Great Dragon Kings simply could not withstand such high-intensity Soul attacks. Their Soul damage became increasingly severe, and their flight speed grew slower and slower.

Before long, the three Spirit Clan Elders caught up to them.

They still did not close in to use Dou Qi to attack their physical bodies. Instead, they continued using Soul Dou Techniques to wear down their Souls bit by bit, refusing to give them any room to breathe.

"Ah—!"

"Argh!"

The South Dragon King had the weakest Soul endurance and was the first to give in.

After a shrill scream, his Soul completely collapsed, and his massive dragon body lost all strength.

He collapsed limply onto the ground like a worm.

On the other side, the six Dou Shengs outside East Dragon Island also sensed that something was wrong.

Charging into East Dragon Island, they followed the ripples of battle and quickly arrived at the scene.

But when they saw the scene before them, all six were stunned, frozen in place.

Their Dragon Kings were usually high and mighty, possessing peerless majesty.

But at this moment, the three massive Taixu Ancient Dragons had all been tortured into unconsciousness. Their auras were weak, and they lay on the ground like three dead dogs.

A deep sense of dread instantly rose in the hearts of the six Dou Shengs.

They wanted to run too, but the three Four-Star Dou Shengs had them firmly locked down.

Qing Shan and Zi Yan emerged. Qing Shan first thanked the Spirit Clan helpers:

"Thank you for your assistance. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan will remember this great kindness. In the future, if the Spirit Clan has any needs, as long as it is within our power, we will certainly not refuse!"

Then, he bowed to Zi Yan:

"Dragon Emperor, the three traitors have been subdued. How should they be dealt with? Please give your instructions!"

Zi Yan looked at the three unconscious Dragon Kings on the ground, a hint of bewilderment appearing on her face. She had never handled such matters and didn't know what to do, instinctively turning her head to look at Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan looked at her and quietly sent a Soul transmission: "They just tried their best to kill you. They are disloyal to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and are genuine traitors. You cannot spare them, otherwise others will dare to resist you in the future."

Now was the perfect opportunity for Zi Yan to establish her authority!

It was impossible to win over these three Dragon Kings.

They might submit on the surface, but they would surely be plotting revenge in their hearts.

They only served one purpose now: to let Zi Yan establish her authority.

"For the crime of treason, execute them!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Qing Shan acted, severing the heads of the three Dragon Kings in a few strikes.

Witnessing their superiors being decapitated, the six Dou Shengs didn't dare to move an inch.

Only intense fear remained in their eyes.

Before long, someone couldn't withstand the pressure and knelt toward Zi Yan, begging for mercy.

"Dragon Emperor, have mercy! We were also deceived by the Dragon Kings. The Dragon Kings said East Dragon Island was spreading false messages and that someone had forged the identity of the Dragon Emperor's daughter, which is why we came here."

With someone starting, the remaining five followed suit.

"That's right! If we had known you possessed the pure royal Bloodline, we would never have followed the Dragon Kings in rebellion."

Ling Yuan thought for a moment.

Executing the three Dragon Kings was because they couldn't be won over.

But these six could be spared for the time being to help stabilize the three Dragon Islands.

If they killed everyone, what if the people of the other three Dragon Islands fled out of fear of being implicated?

Ling Yuan didn't want a crippled Dragon Island.

After receiving Ling Yuan's transmission, Zi Yan said slowly:

"Seeing as you were deceived by the Dragon Kings, I will spare your lives for now. You must redeem yourselves through service by bringing the news back to your respective Dragon Islands and assisting in the unification!"

The six Dou Shengs felt as if they had been granted a divine amnesty, kowtowing repeatedly to show their loyalty.

"Thank you, Dragon Emperor! We will definitely assist in the unification of the Dragon Islands with all our strength!"

...

With the warning provided by the heads of the three Dragon Kings and Zi Yan's pure royal Bloodline...

The unification of the Dragon Islands proceeded exceptionally smoothly. None of the clansmen from the South, West, or North islands chose to resist.

With the joint assistance of many Taixu Ancient Dragon experts, the four Dragon Islands that had been split for over a thousand years finally merged once again at this moment. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had finally reunited as a whole.

Once the unification of the Dragon Islands was settled, the three Spirit Clan Elders politely declined Qing Shan's request for them to stay.

Qing Shan originally wanted them to stay for a few more days to properly thank the Spirit Clan for their help, but the three Elders stated they needed to return to the Spirit Clan to report as soon as possible. Qing Shan could not insist further and personally saw them off from East Dragon Island.

Ling Yuan was over there instructing Zi Yan on how to be a Dragon Emperor.

If she encountered something she couldn't decide on, she should just ask, 'What do you think should be done?' and throw the problem to Qing Shan. Qing Shan would know what to do...

Zi Yan listened seriously, nodding from time to time.

Ling Yuan said, "I've asked Elder Qing Shan. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has a Legacy that can help you grow quickly. Stay here and improve your strength; I'll come to see you when I have time."

"Ah? How long will that take?" Zi Yan was somewhat reluctant.

"The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has its Legacy, and the Spirit Clan is naturally no exception. I also need to enter our Legacy grounds to improve my Soul. It will probably take a year or two..."

Seeing Zi Yan's expression grow even more dejected, Ling Yuan said, "When you finish your Legacy, I'll give you a big surprise."

He knew exactly where the dragon phoenix origin fruit was.

He was just waiting for Zi Yan's strength to be sufficient before retrieving it.

After a good amount of persuasion combined with some 'tough love,' Ling Yuan finally managed to soothe Zi Yan's restless heart.

Although Zi Yan was still reluctant, she knew Ling Yuan had his own things to do. She could only nod obediently and promise Ling Yuan that she would properly accept the Legacy and work hard to improve her strength so as not to hold him back.

As for Ling Yuan, he returned with his mother to prepare for his own Legacy.

Though the gentle company was comfortable, Ling Yuan still had to face reality.

Zi Yan needed to quickly raise her Realm and then refine the dragon phoenix origin fruit.

And he himself needed to quickly improve his Soul and condense a few more Clones for survival.

On the way back, Ling Yuan couldn't help but ask his mother:

"Mother, what is the Spirit Clan's Legacy ground like? Can it really let me quickly reach the Ling Yuan Great Perfection?"

"Of course. Your father and I both improved by two Realms inside back then, going from the Ling Yuan Middle Stage to the Ling Yuan Great Perfection."

Ling Yuan said, "But mother, I am only at the Ling Yuan Early Stage right now."

"My son is so outstanding, you can definitely do it!"
