Chapter 296: Dragon Roars in the Abyss
"It turns out that Lord Bailu has returned."
When the third elder saw Bai Lu, he was startled at first.
I didn't expect Bai Lu to come back at this time, logically speaking, it was because of what happened before.
Many people in the tribe were accused of murdering their compatriots and were thrown into prison. The tribe was in chaos for a while, and they thought Bai Lu would not come back for a long time.
"Lord Bai Lu, you are the Dragon Lord, you should treat your subordinates well. They are just following the clan rules. How can you be angry with them?"
"Yes, we work diligently to protect the safety of our clan, but we have to suffer such injustice... I feel really bitter."
Several guards said with sad faces.
"Cry, cry, cry! You are hundreds of years old and still crying! Do you have no sense of shame or master? I tried so hard to stop you from bringing someone back. I am already giving you face by not beating you so hard that your mother doesn't recognize you."
Bai Lu didn't have any good feelings towards the people in front of her and started scolding them.
Xing was listening at the side and had no idea where Bai Lu learned how to curse so harshly. Although she looked young, she was quite aggressive.
The third elder's face darkened when he heard this, and he didn't know what happened to Bai Lu today?
You're not like this usually? What's wrong with you today? You're just pointing your finger at everyone and cursing.
Although Bai Lu is the Dragon Lord, he is still a child. Although he was scolding the guards, he always felt that there was something fishy in his words and he felt a little angry inside.
"Don't be angry, Lord Bai Lu. The clan has been in turmoil recently and the people are in a state of panic. The guards were just being overly cautious."
After all, he was the elder of Master Long, so the third elder adjusted his mentality instantly and put on a smiling face.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with it. I'm going to take my friend in to do some work, so I won't waste my time talking to you guys."
Bai Lu said this and took Xing and Ning Yun into the Chiming territory.
The third elder winked at the guards and quickly followed.
"I wonder what Lord Bailu is going to do?"
On the way, the third elder asked Bai Lu.
"I want to take the eggshell that was left behind when I was reborn."
The third elder frowned upon hearing this, and then looked at Xing who was following behind Bai Lu.
The eggshell of the Vidyaraja egg is something that contains the secrets of the Vidyaraja clan.
Moreover, Bailu was created by Danfeng's magic method of transforming into a dragon, but Bailu herself did not relive the past of the Dragon Ancestor in her dream.
Therefore, Master Dragon believes that the eggshell is of extraordinary significance. Since Bai Lu itself has nothing to do with the Dragon Lord's inheritance, it is very likely that it contains the secret of the dragon transformation method passed down by Dan Feng.
Now Bai Lu suddenly came back with an outsider and wanted to take it back...
The third elder already had a guess in his mind.
"Oh, I still don't know where that thing is. The Great Elder took it away. Third Elder, do you know where it is now?"
As Bai Lu was walking, she suddenly remembered that she didn't know where her eggshell was, so she asked.
"This... since it was chosen by the Great Elder, I'm afraid Lord Bai Lu can only go to Haiyuan Palace to ask the Great Elder in person."
When she heard that she was going to meet the Great Elder, Bai Lu frowned slightly, not seeming very reluctant at all.
"what happened?"
Xing couldn't help but ask when she saw Bailu like this.
"That elder is the most annoying. He appears polite on the surface, but he is actually a bad guy. If we were to ask who gave the nod to the assassination attempt in Linyuan Realm, it would definitely be the elder... I just didn't expect that the general intervened and arrested so many people from the Chiming Group, but in the end he still couldn't shake the old guy's position."
Bai Lu said quietly to Xing.
Although the voice was low, Xing could feel the resentment in that tone.
"After all, the Great Elder has many scapegoats."
Xing disagreed. He thought that the person who could get to such a position above everyone else in the clan could not be a simple person.
Besides, Jing Yuan was a general of Luofu, so given his status, it was not a good idea for him to delve too deeply into the affairs of the Chiming tribe. It was already a good result if he could capture a group of people.
At least it frightened those Dragon Master elders and let them know that the general was not unable to manage the situation, but was only unable to do so due to his status.
We passed many buildings along the way, and a huge palace stood in the distance.
Near the palace, it seems like a Jinren Street with a completely different style, but it is far inferior in terms of popularity and prosperity.
"So you Chiming people also have a commercial street."
Xing asked as he strolled around.
"It's not interesting. Everyone here is from the Chi Ming tribe, and the food here is common to the Chi Ming tribe. I've already gotten tired of the food and the toys."
Bai Lu explained, looking uninterested.
After all, I was under house arrest most of the time before.
He can only live between the Chiming tribe and the Dandingsi.
When we arrived at the gate of Haiyuan Palace, there were many more guards. More than a dozen guards were standing at the door with serious looks on their faces.
"Third Elder, Lord Longzun."
When the guard saw the person coming, he saluted immediately.
"Get up, Lord Bai Lu has something to ask the Great Elder of Hui Clan today, so all of you please get out of the way."
As soon as the third elder spoke, the guards made way for him without saying anything.
Xingjian and his group were willing to move aside only when they saw the Third Elder, but they had no intention of moving aside when they saw Bailu.
It seems that Bai Lu has been completely sidelined in the clan.
"Everyone, please."
The group arrived at Haiyuan Palace and entered the main hall. Although they heard that the Chiming Clan had declined a lot after the evil dragon's disaster, this palace still displayed its past glory.
Xing looked around as if he was on a tour, and didn't care about the strange looks from the many Chiming people in the hall.
Ning Yun had suffered all kinds of grievances since she was a child and had an extremely strong character. Now these few glances were nothing at all.
In the hall, several middle-aged or elderly people, who looked extremely noble judging by their attire, were sitting in the hall and discussing something.
An elderly Chiming clan member with white hair and beard who was in the middle position slowly stood up when he saw the person coming.
"Great Elder, Master Bai Lu is back."
The third elder quickly stepped forward and spoke to the first elder.
The Great Elder nodded, then looked at Bai Lu with a smile on his face. If you didn't know him, you would have thought he was a kind and charitable old man.
"Bai Lu, put away your playful thoughts this time and stay within the clan. The internal troubles have been eliminated and there is no need to worry."
Xing couldn't help but complain in his heart when he heard this. The Third Elder at least called him Lord Bailu, but you, the First Elder, are too lazy to even address him as Lord, right?
Bai Lu remained calm when she heard this, but she couldn't help but feel contempt in her heart.
After the assassination of Long Zun was such a big deal, he arrested a bunch of his subordinates and an elder with the least power and put them in prison.
If you say that this matter has nothing to do with any of these powerful elders, you would be crazy if you believed it.
"No, I can't stay in the clan any longer. If some elder wants to harm me, I won't know anything."
Bai Lu spoke expressionlessly, not giving the Great Elder any face at all.
"Since the Yinyue Rebellion, some villains have indeed had some thoughts. All the elders, including me, have indeed made mistakes in this matter, but the culprit has been caught, so you can rest assured."
The Great Elder shook his head slightly and said.
This is true. It was because of Dan Heng's return that the dragon masters saw the opportunity again.
Considering that Dan Heng no longer has the popular support to succeed the Dragon Lord due to the sins he committed in his previous life, he can be forced to pass on the power of the Dragon Lord.
Therefore, as long as the powerless dragon girl dies unfortunately, then who will be the successor Dragon Lord will naturally be decided by the dragon masters.
Now that the plan has failed, naturally, they can only let Bai Lu continue to be the puppet Dragon Lord and hope that one day she will comprehend the key to Dragon Lord on her own and then force her.
"No need. The general invited me to live in Shen Ce Mansion, and I feel pretty good about it."
Bai Lu shook her head and refused.
When the Great Elder heard this, he couldn't help but snort in his heart.
I didn't expect that Bai Lu would use the general to pressure me.
"I am only here to retrieve my things today. I hope that the Great Elder can tell me where my molting eggshell is stored now."
The Great Elder was not surprised to hear this, because the Third Elder had informed him through the synesthesia beacon not long ago.
That's why all the elders gathered here waiting for Bai Lu.
The Great Elder smiled at first, then his face turned serious.
"Bai Lu, this item contains the secret of reincarnation of the Chi Ming Clan. Now you bring two outsiders to take it. What's your intention?"
As soon as the Great Elder said this, the atmosphere in the entire Haiyuan Palace became a little colder.
"That's what I left behind after reincarnation. What's the point of me taking back my own things?"
Bai Lu frowned when she saw that the Great Elder obviously didn't want to shout.
There are quite a few Vajra eggs in the Scale Abyss, not to mention the egg shells left after metamorphosis. I haven't seen your Great Elder send people to guard them every day. It's obvious that he is targeting me.
"Bai Lu! You are the Dragon Lord of the Chi Ming Clan, but you brought outsiders to try to seize the secrets of the Chi Ming Clan... Do you think all the elders present are fools? You are clearly abandoning the Chi Ming Clan and putting them in an unjust situation. You are just as reckless as Dan Feng back then!"
The Great Elder slammed the table, his face full of anger and a look of deep grief.
Bai Lu was not very popular in the Chiming tribe to begin with. Now that a big hat has been put on her, Bai Lu has been instantly pushed to the opposite side of the Chiming tribe.
"It seems that you are used to being spoiled by the clan, so you can do such a thing!"
The great elder waved his hand, and dozens of guards rushed in from outside the hall and surrounded Xing Bailu, Ning Yun and the other two.
"Expel these two outsiders, take Long Zun back to her room, and do not enter or leave Scale Abyss at will."
"you!"
Bai Lu was immediately furious when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Great Elder would dare to accuse her of this just for asking for an egg shell.
"Don't worry."
Xing comforted Bai Lu gently, then stood in front of the two of them and looked at the Great Elder indifferently.
"Old Deng, Bai Lu is now living in the Shen Ce Mansion arranged by the general himself. It is not your turn to decide whether to leave or stay. Besides... since when has it become your turn as a servant to decide whether the master stays or leaves?"
"Asshole! How dare an outsider like you interfere in the affairs of the Chiming tribe! Capture him!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder became furious and shouted at the guards.
"I am the Dragon Lord! How dare you take me?!"
Bai Lu also shouted. She didn't expect that this group of people would not even put in any superficial effort and wanted to force her to stay.
"You can neither seal Jianmu nor control the ancient sea. You can only do some tricks to control water and thunder. When you can turn the sea upside down like the Dragon Lords of all generations, we will naturally worship you as the Dragon Lord with all our heart."
The Great Elder looked at Bai Lu coldly and was too lazy to put on a show.
"Do you really mean what you say?"
When Xing heard the words of the Great Elder, he immediately asked back.
"I am the great elder of the Chiming tribe, so I take my words seriously."
The Great Elder nodded with a cold face.
"Very good, that's what I was waiting for."
Xing said as he leaned over and put a cone of light into Bai Lu's hand.
Bai Lu took a look at the cone of light in her hand and saw that the person on it was exactly Dan Heng whom she had seen before.
Before Bai Lu could take a closer look, the light cone began to burn slowly in her hand. Then Bai Lu felt the dragon power in her body begin to boil and surge. A familiar yet unfamiliar memory emerged in her mind, as if she had had such a feeling in a long and vague dream...
As a dragon roar came from the Haiyuan Palace, the entire Chiming Clan felt the tremor coming from the depths of their souls, and they all cast horrified glances towards the Haiyuan Palace.
