Back then, Chen Ling had used the unborn Long Qing as a hostage. He had thought that he would be able to escape unscathed. However, who would have thought that Long Qing's father, the Dragon Emperor, would completely ignore him and attack him. This made Xiao Chen feel very strange.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chen Ling's face revealed a hint of self-mockery as he said, "Speaking of which, it's my fault. However, in my panic, I made a careless mistake. I forgot that the Dragon Clan is a clan that will never accept threats."
The Dragon Clan was definitely more arrogant than the other. Their arrogance seemed to be innate. This was especially true for the pure-blooded Dragon Clan. They were extremely arrogant. This was not difficult to see from Long Qing and Long Yang.
Back then, when Chen Ling wanted to use Long Qing to threaten the Dragon Clan, he had completely angered the Dragon Emperor. Therefore, the Dragon Emperor did not care about Long Qing's life at all and chose to attack him directly.
Perhaps in the Dragon Emperor's eyes, as his descendant, even if Long Qing had not been born, it would be better for her to die than to be threatened. This way, at least the Dragon Clan's dignity would be preserved.
Hearing Chen Ling's words, Xiao Chen was a little speechless. This Dragon Emperor was really cold-blooded. He could even disregard the life and death of his own daughter.
While thinking, Xiao Chen secretly glanced at Long Qing. He found that Long Qing still had a calm expression on her face. It was as if what had just been said had nothing to do with her.
She had never seen her father before. Therefore, Long Qing could be said to have no feelings for the Dragon Emperor. Therefore, even if Chen Ling had told her what had happened back then, Long Qing did not feel much, let alone resent Chen Ling.
After all, without Chen Ling, Long Qing would not have met Xiao Chen. The three of them would not have become sworn brothers. Moreover, Long Qing was very satisfied with her current life. Therefore, Long Qing did not want to delve into the past. She did not want to think too much about it.
Seeing that Long Qing's expression was still normal, Xiao Chen let out a sigh of relief. Since they were talking about Long Qing, the next topic was naturally Chen Ling's background.
Chen Ling was the reincarnation of an almighty being. This was something that both Xiao Chen and Long Qing knew. However, his identity had always been a mystery, and Chen Ling had always been tight-lipped about it.
However, this time, before Xiao Chen could ask, Chen Ling took the initiative to speak.
"There are three Masters of the human race. You should already know this. Among the three Masters, the Xuanyuan clan is the only one that has successfully become one of the three Masters of the human race. I am a member of the Xuanyuan clan."
In the Central World, the Three Masters of the Human Clan were the Taiyang Sect of Heavenly Yin, the Haotian Alliance, and the Xuanyuan Clan. Among them, the Xuanyuan Clan was the only clan that had successfully become one of the Three Masters.
In his previous life, Chen Ling was a member of the Xuanyuan Clan. Moreover, he was one of the three Great Elders of the Xuanyuan Clan. His status was second only to the Xuanyuan Clan's ancestor.
As a powerful and ancient clan, the Xuanyuan Clan naturally valued their bloodline. Chen Ling was the direct descendant of the Xuanyuan Clan's main bloodline.
In his previous life, Chen Ling had made great strides until he became one of the three Great Elders of the Xuanyuan Clan. His cultivation had also reached the limit of the Half-step Great Saint Realm. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Great Saint Realm.
Unfortunately, because of the trip to the Dragon Clan, Chen Ling was severely injured by the Dragon Emperor. Under such heavy injuries, Chen Ling could not care about anything else and directly tore through the void to escape. In the end, he drifted through the void all the way to the Heavenly Chen Continent. However, due to his heavy injuries, he died. Fortunately, a remnant of his soul was preserved. Thus, he had the chance to be reborn.
Chen Ling did not say much about his identity. He simply said that he was the master of the Xuanyuan Clan and had once been one of the three Great Elders of the Xuanyuan Clan.
It was an extremely simple statement. Hearing this, Long Qing said thoughtfully, "The Xuanyuan Clan. So, big brother, are you going to return to the Xuanyuan Clan this time?"
Since Chen Ling was a member of the Xuanyuan Clan, it was understandable that he chose to return to the Xuanyuan Clan. In the face of Long Qing's question, Chen Ling fell into silence. Moreover, Xiao Chen keenly caught a flash of hatred in Chen Ling's eyes.
Did Chen Ling bear a grudge against the Xuanyuan Clan? Xiao Chen guessed in his heart, but it was not appropriate for him to ask. After a long while, Chen Ling took the initiative to speak.
"I won't return to the Xuanyuan Clan. However, I do need to find time to make a trip back to the Xuanyuan Clan because there are some things that I haven't finished."
He directly stated that he would not return to the Xuanyuan Clan, but he still needed to make a trip back. When he said that, Chen Ling's tone was very indifferent. There was no joy or sorrow in his voice, but Xiao Chen was certain that there was definitely something between Chen Ling and the Xuanyuan Clan. Perhaps it was because of this that Chen Ling did not have any good feelings towards the Xuanyuan Clan. He was even unwilling to admit that he was a member of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Xiao Chen's guess was actually correct. Chen Ling did indeed hold a grudge against the Xuanyuan Clan. Since the heavens had given him a chance to be reborn, Chen Ling only planned to continue living with his current identity. It was impossible for him to return to the Xuanyuan Clan.
With that, before Xiao Chen and Long Qing could reply, Chen Ling looked at Long Qing. A sliver of bitterness flashed through his eyes before he smiled gently.
"I definitely won't return to the Xuanyuan Clan. However, if you have the chance, you can go to the Dragon clan to have a look. I don't think the Dragon Emperor will do anything to you. Furthermore, you can obtain many benefits if you go to the Dragon clan."
"You should know that the cultivation methods of the Dragon clan and the human clan are completely different. Many of the unique cultivation methods of the Dragon clan can only be used in the Dragon clan. Therefore, going to the Dragon clan will only be beneficial to you. Find a time to talk to Long Yang."
Chen Ling did not want to return to the Xuanyuan Clan, but he persuaded Long Qing to go to the Dragon clan if she had the chance. After all, there was nothing between Long Qing and the Dragon clan. Long Qing had not even been born yet.
Furthermore, the Dragon Emperor had not cared about Long Qing's life and insisted on attacking. No matter how determined he was, he would probably feel guilty towards Long Qing. After all, no matter what, Long Qing was the Dragon Emperor's daughter.
Over the past few years, Long Qing had relied on her powerful bloodline to make remarkable progress. However, the further she progressed, the harder it was to awaken the power of her bloodline, especially for a high-grade bloodline like the Dragon clan.
As such, if Long Qing wanted to achieve great things, she had to go to the Dragon clan. Only in the Dragon clan would Long Qing be able to complete her transformation.
Furthermore, if Long Qing was willing to return, the Dragon Emperor would definitely not object. This was the main reason.
However, after hearing Chen Ling's words, Long Qing did not think much of it. She shook her head and rejected him directly. "I don't want to go back. I think it's pretty good now. Why would I go back?"
Just like Chen Ling, Long Qing did not want to return to the Dragon clan. Seeing this, Chen Ling smiled bitterly, then shook his head and did not say anything else.
