79: Chapter 78 The Third Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng Powerhouse?
Over the years, the experts of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan searching for Zhu Kun had dispersed everywhere. Some had wandered outside for a long time and grown weary, returning to the Dragon Island one after another after receiving the signal.
However, many Dou Sheng experts still ignored the summons—they only recognized the Old Dragon Emperor, Zhu Kun.
Among the returning clansmen, their strength varied, ranging from Dou Zun to low-star Dou Sheng.
Although there were no top-tier experts, it still bolstered the overall strength of the Dragon Island.
"Qingshan, I... I heard Ling Yuan mention you. You led East Dragon Island against the other three islands and stabilized the situation. You've done well."
Qingshan finally stopped what he was doing, looked up, and gazed at Zhu Kun.
He was relatively young; when Zhu Kun was trapped back then, he was still a child and had never seen Zhu Kun. Naturally, he couldn't recognize who the majestic-looking man before him was.
He frowned and sensed carefully, only to discover that the aura on the man before him was terrifying, far exceeding any expert he had ever met. A sense of awe immediately welled up in his heart.
"Senior, who might you be?"
Ling Yuan didn't want the two of them to keep wasting time with verification and said bluntly, "He is the person you all have been searching for all these years."
Zhu Kun cooperated, slowly releasing the pure royal Bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon within him.
A majestic and heavy Bloodline pressure instantly spread out.
The appearance of that Bloodline suppression caused Qingshan's eyes to widen.
This rich royal Bloodline could only be possessed by the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun!
Ling Yuan had just said this was the person he found, so it was definitely the Dragon Emperor.
With a thud, Qingshan knelt directly on the ground.
"You are the Dragon Emperor?"
Zhu Kun quickly corrected him, "She is the Dragon Emperor now!"
Whether his daughter was the Dragon Emperor or he was, there was no difference to him.
Zhu Kun naturally wouldn't seize power from his own daughter.
Qingshan also realized the impropriety of his words.
"Old Dragon Emperor, you have finally returned!"
Qingshan's eyes filled with tears. He had been supported by his faith all this time, and now that faith stood right before him.
It would be strange if Qingshan wasn't excited.
Zhu Kun looked at Zi Yan. Seeing no displeasure on her face, he accepted the title.
Old Dragon Emperor was fine.
Since his daughter didn't object, it was a tacit acceptance of his status. Not bad, not bad at all!
Finally, Zi Yan gathered all the clansmen and had Qingshan announce the matter.
The return of the Old Dragon Emperor, Zhu Kun, caused the entire Dragon Island to boil with excitement.
Zhu Kun appeared much more low-key. After suppressing the commotion, he announced that everyone must obey the new Dragon Emperor from now on.
This made the clansmen realize that the Old Dragon Emperor did not intend to retake power, and that everything they did in the future must follow the new Dragon Emperor's orders.
Zi Yan dismissed them, telling them to hurry and prepare for the migration of the Dragon Island.
Zhu Kun was somewhat puzzled: "Migrate the Dragon Island?"
Qingshan quietly sent him a voice transmission from the side: "Old Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Emperor said that to make it easier for her to manage the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, she is moving the Dragon Island to the vicinity of the Spirit Realm."
Zhu Kun looked at Ling Yuan: Good kid, just how much sweet talk did you feed Zi Yan?
Qingshan wanted Zhu Kun to persuade Zi Yan:
"Old Dragon Emperor, migrating the clan is no small matter; it involves too much. Do you think you could persuade the Dragon Emperor to reconsider?"
How could Zhu Kun dare? He pulled a long face and said directly, "Persuade her for what? Just do whatever the Dragon Emperor says!"
If she wanted to migrate, then migrate. It wasn't a big deal.
Their Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan excelled in spatial power. Moving the Dragon Island was a very simple task for a Nine-Star Dou Sheng like him.
As long as his daughter was happy, it was fine.
After being trapped in the Immortal Cave once, Zhu Kun had become much more open-minded.
No one knew when an accident would occur; since that was the case, one should do whatever they wanted.
And right now, Zhu Kun just wanted to make up for what he owed Zi Yan.
Everything else could wait!
Zhu Kun told Qingshan to leave; he wanted to go build a relationship with his daughter.
Unfortunately, Zi Yan thought Zhu Kun was being too idle.
It was Ling Yuan who stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, preventing Zhu Kun from being so embarrassed.
As they talked, the conversation turned to the current state of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Ling Yuan casually mentioned, "Uncle Zhu Kun, I heard Elder Qingshan say that the news of your return hasn't been sent to the Ancient Void Dragon experts in the void yet. They are still searching for you everywhere."
"Since you have returned, there's no reason to let them keep searching. Isn't it time to summon them back?"
He had heard Qingshan mention that there were at least two or three Seven-Star Dou Shengs from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan in the void.
Such strength was quite good. If they were all summoned back, they would definitely be a great help in dealing with the Hun Clan.
Well, if they could make an appearance at the wedding to intimidate the various clans, that would be even better.
Zhu Kun had exactly the same intention.
"Yes, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has been silent for so long. It is time for the continent to know our power!"
Zhu Kun transformed into a massive Void Ancient Dragon, his body instantly vanishing into the void. Immediately after, several deafening dragon roars echoed through the void.
A moment later, the dragon roars ceased, and Zhu Kun transformed back into human form.
Zhu Kun clapped his hands confidently: "Alright, they will be back soon."
Ling Yuan: That's it? This summoning method is a bit too simple and unadorned!
...
Meanwhile, within the Ancient World.
Gu Yuan had just finished instructing his subordinates to go to Jia Nan Academy to bring Gu Xun'er back.
The Fighting Qi around him suddenly fluctuated slightly. His brows instantly furrowed tightly, and his expression became solemn—he keenly sensed a subtle movement and pressure.
Zhu Kun had demonstrated it casually in front of Ling Yuan, as if he had just roared a few times, but those dragon roars were by no means as simple as they appeared on the surface.
To put it bluntly, Ling Yuan was still too young and his Realm was not high enough.
Many things can only be understood once one reaches that level.
If they were truly just ordinary dragon roars, they wouldn't have reached those Ancient Void Dragon experts in the void at all.
Gu Yuan stood up and looked toward the void, his tone carrying a hint of shock: "This aura and movement, so strong!"
Although he usually seemed a bit cautious and liked to deliberate over things, as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage and Emperor Realm expert, his perception was definitely not weak.
To cause such a stir, one would at least need to be at the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage Realm.
Gu Yuan had dealt with Hun Tiandi many times, and he was absolutely certain that this commotion was not caused by Hun Tiandi.
"Could there be a third Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage expert on this Fighting Qi Continent?"
...
Meanwhile, in a dark secret chamber within the Soul Realm.
Hun Tiandi, who was in closed-door cultivation to recover from his injuries, was also startled. He suddenly snapped his eyes open.
"This fluctuation, how is it possible?"
Since Gu Yuan could sense this fluctuation and aura, Hun Tiandi was naturally no exception.
Hun Tiandi's expression shifted uncertainly.
The thousand-year plan was about to begin. The sudden emergence of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng at this critical juncture caught him somewhat off guard.
A third Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage expert... who could it be?
Why had he never noticed them before?
