612: Wan Xixi forcefully refutes her claims.

Long Aotian, the eighth son of the current Dragon Emperor and the biggest favorite to win the Dragon God Star Domain Grand Competition, is considered a top-tier Prodigy in the entire Dragon God Star Domain.

As the host, Long Aotian specially organized a grand banquet today, inviting all the contestants participating in the Grand Competition to attend.

Of course, Long Aotian's purpose for holding this banquet was nothing more than to showcase the Dragon Clan's profound strength in front of the various Yao Race Geniuses, and incidentally recruit some exceptionally talented Geniuses for his own use.

"Xixi, do you know much about the Dragon Clan's affairs?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously as he walked slowly.

"What aspect do you want to know about?" Wan Xixi said softly.

"Tell me about their power structure," Yang Lingchen said casually.

Since he had come to the Dragon God Star Domain, he naturally needed to gain a deeper understanding of the Dragon Clan's power structure to better handle various situations that might arise.

"Take this and look! Almost everything about the Dragon Clan is recorded in detail here." Wan Xixi took out a small and exquisite booklet and handed it to Yang Lingchen.

"Thank you!" Yang Lingchen thanked her, then solemnly took the booklet and began to read it with full concentration.

Naturally, what he wanted to know most about was the overlord of the Dragon God Star Domain, the Dragon Emperor, because the Dragon Emperor was not only the emperor of the Dragon Clan but also the supreme Domain Lord of the Archaic Star Domain.

Yang Lingchen read very quickly, almost scanning ten lines at a glance, and in a short while, he had a general understanding of the entire Dragon Clan.

As the absolute overlord of the Dragon God Star Domain, the Dragon Clan's strength was undeniably powerful, and the Dragon Emperor's status in the Dragon God Star Domain was supreme and unshakable.

For nearly a hundred thousand years, because the Dragon Emperor had been in closed-door cultivation, his sons had become restless one by one, vying for the position of Dragon Emperor.

These sons of the Dragon were already in a delicate state where they were harmonious on the surface but divided at heart; given the chance, they would all love to trample each other underfoot.

Of course, the high-level members of the Dragon Clan were happy to see this situation; in their view, healthy competition was very necessary for the Dragon Clan and could stimulate the fighting spirit and potential of the younger generation.

Currently, the Dragon Clan is divided into four major factions: Crown Prince Long Hualin, Third Prince Long Zaiye, Eighth Prince Long Aotian, and the most powerful, Dragon Empress Murong Wu.

Each of these Dragon Clan princes has a powerful force firmly supporting them; to balance all parties, the power of the Dragon Clan is currently held by Dragon Empress Murong Wu.

Of course, besides Murong Wu, the one with the most supporters is Crown Prince Long Hualin; after all, he is the eldest son of the first wife, with noble status and a high position.

While Third Prince Long Zhanye is skilled in political schemes and winning people's hearts, with a steady and reserved personality and a very deep mind, and has gathered a large number of outstanding talents under him, showing a trend of overtaking the Crown Prince and becoming a dark horse in the competition.

Finally, there is Eighth Prince Long Aotian; although he is the youngest, his talent is extremely outstanding, and among all the princes, he can be considered the most exceptional one.

Among all the Dragon Emperor's offspring, the one who caught Yang Lingchen's attention the most was the Dragon Emperor's youngest daughter, Long Qinxue.

It is rumored that this girl's talent is the most excellent and rarest Genius the Dragon Clan has seen in millions of years.

Although she is the Dragon Emperor's youngest daughter, her strength is unfathomable; it is said that even the Crown Prince is no match for her.

About half an hour later, the beast carriage slowly stopped in front of Long Aotian's Residence.

This was an extremely luxurious and noble Residence, with two majestic guards in armor standing on both sides of the entrance.

Yang Lingchen and Wan Xixi took out their invitations, and after the guards carefully confirmed their identities, they were led into the Residence with their heads held high.

Led by the guards, the two passed through several magnificent palaces and arrived at the back garden of the Residence, which had exquisite pavilions, quiet and beautiful ponds with koi playing inside, and flowers blooming along the banks, giving a wonderful feeling of entering a fairyland.

Passing through the back garden, Yang Lingchen and Wan Xixi came to an incomparably luxurious hall; this hall was extremely vast, and the surroundings were already filled with various delicacies and fine foods that made one's mouth water.

When the two arrived, many people were already seated in the hall; clearly, these people had arrived early.

Yang Lingchen and Wan Xixi found an empty spot and sat down.

After careful observation, he found that the cultivation level of those attending the banquet had basically reached the Haotian Realm Eighth Layer or above; each was extraordinary in appearance and temperament, clearly the young Geniuses and Prodigies of various major forces.

The moment Yang Lingchen and Wan Xixi appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This was mainly due to Wan Xixi's beauty; as a member of the Spirit Fox Clan, Wan Xixi possessed an exquisite Face that made all women envious, so no matter where she went, she would become the focus of attention.

Conversely, Yang Lingchen was directly ignored.

In the eyes of all the Geniuses present, Yang Lingchen was just a little piece of trash at the Haotian Realm Third Layer, not qualified to attract their special attention.

Of course, a few women cast curious glances at Yang Lingchen, but after seeing his cultivation level, they all secretly shook their heads and lost interest.

In the eyes of Yao Race women, what they valued most was actually strength; appearance was secondary.

About half an hour later, almost everyone attending the banquet had arrived.

Just then, a young man in black formal attire appeared at the main seat of the banquet.

This person stood tall and proud, with sharp eyes revealing a heart-palpitating sharpness; although he had a faint smile on his Face, he radiated an invisible pressure that made people afraid to look directly at him.

Although the other party only glanced around casually, Yang Lingchen's intuition told him that this person was very dangerous and definitely not a character to be trifled with.

"Greetings, Eighth Prince."

At this moment, except for Yang Lingchen and Wan Xixi, everyone respectfully bowed.

Of course, the two of them also stood up, but they only cupped their fists.

"How dare you two! You didn't even bow when you saw Eighth Prince Your Highness." A young man in a white robe with gloomy eyes shouted angrily, pointing at Yang Lingchen.

"You seem to have a major problem with your brain. Whether I bow or not is none of your damn business. Do you like being a bootlicker so much? Does your mother know?" Yang Lingchen said with a cold sneer, his Face full of disdain.

"Stinky brat, you're looking for death." The gloomy-eyed youth instantly became furious and directly raised a palm to strike fiercely at Yang Lingchen.

In his view, Yang Lingchen was just a little piece of trash at the Haotian Realm Third Layer; he could easily suppress the other party with just one move.

A fierce light flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, and just as he was preparing a full-strength strike to cripple the other party, Wan Xixi suddenly threw a slap.

Wan Xixi's slap carried a hint of dazzling light and instantly struck the gloomy youth's Face.

"Ah... Ah...!"

The gloomy youth screamed as his body flew backward, a mouthful of blood spraying from his mouth and teeth scattering all over the ground, looking extremely wretched.

"If you don't have the strength, don't come out and act tough." Wan Xixi barked, her eyes filled with cold killing intent, "If This Young Lady sees you again, I'll definitely slap you to death."

The reason she struck first was mainly because she didn't want Yang Lingchen to expose his strength too early.

"Wan Xixi, you're simply going too far! Do you really think there's no one in Lion Demon Ridge?"

At this time, a sturdy young man with a terrifying pressure radiating from him and bloodthirsty killing intent in his eyes stood up.

"Mo Tianyu, stop using Lion Demon Ridge to intimidate people; in the eyes of This Young Lady, you guys are nothing." Wan Xixi said coldly, without any fear.

"Everyone, calm down. You are all top Geniuses of various forces in our Dragon God Star Domain. Since we have the chance to gather today, there's no need to hurt our harmony over a small matter."

At this time, Eighth Prince Long Aotian stepped forward.

As the host of this banquet, if he didn't step forward, things would likely escalate to an irredeemable and terrible point.

"Wan Xixi, for the sake of the Eighth Prince's Face, I won't argue with you today. We'll see during the Grand Competition." Mo Tianyu said coldly, a flash of resentment in his eyes.

"Hmph!" A smirk of disdain curled on Wan Xixi's lips as she directly ignored him.

"Miss Wan, long time no see." Long Aotian showed a gentle smile, like a spring breeze.

"Long time no see." Wan Xixi's tone was calm, and no expression could be seen on her Face.

"And this is?" Long Aotian turned to look at Yang Lingchen, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"His name is Yang Lingchen, a contestant from our Myriad Demon City for this Grand Competition," Wan Xixi introduced.
