Chapter 319: Ao Zhi's Gift: True Dragon Essence Blood [10,000 Words] (Part 5)
"You should rest in the camp, I'll keep an eye on the Ghost Cave." As soon as Seventh Ancestor finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared from sight.
Mu Rufeng sat cross-legged, not planning to waste time, and prepared to cultivate his Soul Secret Method, which would help him quickly enhance his strength.
...
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
Mu Rufeng was still engrossed in cultivation, the entire camp filled with a dense soul aura.
Mu Rufeng possessed an abundance of soul power, which had numerous wonderful applications, greatly assisting in the cultivation of Soul Secret Methods.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng sensed something, he immediately stopped cultivating, and then, opening his mouth to inhale, he absorbed the soul aura in the camp.
Then Mu Rufeng stepped out of the camp.
Outside, quite a number of Emperor Sovereign Ancestors were standing.
Including the Seventh Ancestor, there were sixteen Emperor Sovereign Ancestors in total.
Those ancestors who accompanied Mu Rufeng to the Netherworld had not left; instead, they had also come over.
Firstly, they wanted to see the Dragon Corpse, and secondly, they were curious about the situation in the Ghost Cave.
They had just seen it and were shocked by the terror of the Dragon Corpse, as it had directly swallowed the Ghost Cave.
"Greetings to all the ancestors," Mu Rufeng immediately saluted.
"Rufeng, what method did you use to bring this Dragon Corpse here?" the Grand Ancestor asked curiously.
The other ancestors also looked at Mu Rufeng; they were eager to know.
"I comprehended a Secret Technique that allows communication with the Dragon Soul. She seemed hungry, so I told her I'd take her to eat, and she came," Mu Rufeng explained.
"Just like that?" An Emperor Sovereign Ancestor asked skeptically.
"Just like that, Ao Zhi is only a Residual Soul, she has no memory, just her name," Mu Rufeng replied.
"Anyway, as long as it's resolved, but Xiao Feng just told me that the Abnormality plans to use a massive amount of Evil Ghosts to make the Dragon Corpse burst?" the Grand Ancestor added.
"Hmm, Ao Zhi is still asleep. When she wakes up, I'll ask her how she plans to deal with it," Mu Rufeng replied, not having any good ideas.
This needs to be discussed with Ao Zhi before making further plans.
"Ah, truly an era of great turmoil," the Grand Ancestor sighed with a shake of his head.
"In any case, with the Dragon Corpse here, it can temporarily suppress the Ghost Cave. I just received news that the Ghost Cave in the Western Regions, the Feng Clan is struggling to hold on, and we need to go and support them," the Grand Ancestor said.
"Grand Ancestor, the Feng Clan is strong and has significant restraint over the undead creatures of the Ghost Cave, plus there are several Emperor Sovereigns among the Demon Clan. Why do you have to support them, where are those Demon Gods?" Mu Rufeng asked in confusion.
"Hmph, those Demon Clan guys, each looking out for themselves, are not moved at all, wanting to reap the benefits later, truly a short-sighted bunch," the Grand Ancestor said with a cold snort.
The Feng Clan has three Emperor Sovereigns and ranks among the top three in the many races of the Demon Clan.
The first is the White Tiger Clan, boasting five Emperor Sovereign powerhouses, followed by the Jiao Clan.
The White Tiger Clan is ambitious, always wanting to unify the entire Demon Clan, and the Jiao Clan is no different.
Meanwhile, the Feng Clan is the only Ancient Divine Beast among the Demon Clan. Even the White Tiger Clan only has a trace of the bloodline of the Divine Beast White Tiger.
Therefore, both the Jiao Clan and the White Tiger Clan try to weaken the power of the Feng Clan.
The Feng Clan, despite its extraordinary talent, has few members, thus ranking third.
Coincidentally, the Ghost Cave's territory is located in the Feng Clan, preventing other races from providing support.
Of course, some races do provide support, but mostly those small races that don't have even one Emperor Sovereign.
Still, there are Emperor Sovereign Demon Gods providing support, specifically those with good relations with the Feng Clan, like the Vermilion Bird, whose members are even rarer than those of the Feng Clan.
The Vermilion Bird is also an Ancient Divine Beast, and currently, there are only two in the entire Heavenly Dao Continent.
One is the Vermilion Bird Ancestor of the Emperor Sovereign Realm, and the other is the descendant of the Vermilion Bird Ancestor, just a young girl in her teens.
"Beasts are indeed beasts, even in such a situation, they're still thinking of internal strife," Mu Rufeng said coldly.
"Grand Ancestor, why not take the Bright Sun Pearl with you, if the Feng Clan uses it, it can exert even greater power."
"The fourth Bright Sun Pearl has been in the making for decades, it should be completed in a few days," the Seventh Ancestor suddenly said.
Hearing this, the Grand Ancestor thought for a moment, then nodded.
The Ghost Cave in our Central Domain has now been temporarily controlled, so the Bright Sun Pearl isn't of much use.
While the Feng Clan can harness its greatest power.
Most importantly, the Feng Clan is friendly with our Da Li Dynasty.
Although the Demon Clan is a very large group, it consists of many races, and internal conflicts are not uncommon.
Like the White Tiger Clan, they hardly interact with our Da Li Dynasty, seemingly averse to humans.
The Feng Clan, however, holds a great affection for humans.
As for the Jiao Clan, ha.
Then, the Seventh Ancestor took out the Bright Sun Pearl and handed it to the Grand Ancestor.
The Grand Ancestor left with ten Emperor Sovereign Ancestors, leaving the Seventh Ancestor and the Ma Family Ancestor in Qin State.
The Third and Eighth Ancestors didn't go along, nor did they stay in Qin State; they returned to the Imperial City instead.
Regardless, the Imperial City still needed several Emperor Sovereign Ancestors.
...
After a few more hours, it was the latter part of the night.
Mu Rufeng was called out of his cultivation.
"What is it?" Mu Rufeng, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.
