An Lin was elated when he saw the system's mission.
Strike by lightning? He wasn't afraid of that!
However, he was more than happy to learn cultivation techniques.
"We have to kill the Holy Demon … But isn't the Holy Demon completely sealed on the island by Shen Yin?
"If you can't complete the Ten Spirits Blood Sacrifice Formation, can it still break the seal?"
An Lin was a little confused when he saw the system's request. He turned to the demonic dragon and asked curiously.
The flaming demonic dragon nodded. "Shen Yin's seal is too old. It's already weakened. We used the Ten Spirits Blood Sacrifice Formation to make the Holy Demon's resurrection smoother and recover its strength faster. Even without this formation, the Holy Demon can still break the seal with the power of heaven and earth once the sun in the sky forms a line!
"The only thing we can do now is to completely destroy the Ten Spirits Blood Sacrifice Formation. When the Holy Demon awakens, it will be extremely weak without a source of energy. That will be the best time for us to defeat it. "
Now that the demonic dragon and An Lin were on the same boat, it naturally wouldn't hide any other information.
"Where's the Holy Demon's seal? Can we kill it while it's still sealed? "An Lin asked curiously.
He remembered that Shen Yin had sealed it on a purple mountain, but that mountain had disappeared.
The demonic dragon smiled helplessly. "The Holy Demon has already merged with the Zimeng Mountain and become a part of the island. That's the only way it can absorb the energy of the sun to the maximum."
An Lin looked around the vast land and rubbed his brows. "Then there's no other way. We can't release the Holy Demon. We can only wait for it to break the seal and then kill it."
The demonic dragon said, "The sun will form a line in three days."
An Lin nodded. "Alright, then we'll make preparations in the next three days!"
…
Meanwhile, in the depths of the East Sea.
There was an extremely prosperous city of light. It was like the only pearl in the darkness, emitting a light as bright as day.
This city was called Dragon City. It had a population of over a hundred million dragons. At the same time, there were also living beings from various races of the East Sea living here. It was an extremely tolerant and open city.
The number one faction in the East Sea, the Dragon Court, was located above Dragon City.
If Dragon City was the most dazzling pearl in the Eastern Sea, then the Dragon Court was the most dazzling diamond on this pearl.
The palaces of the Dragon Court could be said to be extremely beautiful. Every place exuded extravagance. Even the bricks on the ground were meticulously carved by craftsmen.
Perhaps this was the taste of the Dragon Clan. They all had a hobby of collecting and showing off treasures.
At this moment, the Dragon Court's Supreme Dragon King was angrily staring at the woman kneeling on the ground.
The ministers of the Dragon Tribe and the members of the Royal Family stood on two sides with expressions of pity, confusion, or schadenfreude.
The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely heavy, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard for people to breathe.
However, at the center of the entire incident, the woman in the blue robe who was kneeling on the ground had an indifferent expression.
The Dragon King looked at the woman with a look of exasperation. "You have the best aptitude and the purest bloodline among the younger generation of the Dragon Court. You are also the prodigy with the highest chance of reaching the Dao Integration Stage."
"You … you sacrificed your own bloodline to save that city of pearl people and those strange human cultivators?!
"Can't you just run away if you can't beat them? Even if the entire Pearl Kingdom is destroyed, it's not worth it for you to cripple your own bloodline, let alone a city of pearl people!
"Idiot! Idiot beyond belief! "
The Dragon King's body trembled slightly, and he became more and more enraged as he spoke. He didn't think that the daughter he had high hopes for would sacrifice her own cultivation.
Even in front of the higher-ups of the Dragon Court, he couldn't help but let loose a torrent of abuse.
The woman lowered her head slightly. "This is a decision that Bei Lian made out of her own free will. Bei Lian is willing to bear all the consequences."
"You want to bear all the consequences? You're shouldering the responsibility of reviving the future of the Dragon Court. I've always given you the best cultivation resources, but now you've ruined that future. Tell me, how are you going to bear all the consequences?! "The Dragon King's hands trembled with rage as he stared at the silent woman before him.
"From now on, Ao Xiaoqian is stripped of her right to represent the Dragon Court. All of her cultivation resources are to be given to Ao Kong!" The Dragon King spoke again.
"Thank you, Father!"
A crimson-haired man made his way to Bei Lian's side before kneeling down to the Dragon King with gratitude on his face.
Everyone lowered their heads slightly, and no one had any objections. This was not a strange decision. In a sense, it could be said that the Dragon Princess, who had once been hailed as the hope of the Dragon Court, had completely fallen from grace.
The Dragon Tribe focused on their bloodline, and if their bloodline was tainted beyond repair, they would most likely never be able to make any progress in their cultivation.
In other words, Bei Lian had already been reduced to a cripple who couldn't cultivate. Her fate was almost foreseeable, and she would most likely be married off as a tool for political alliances.
The Dragon King flew into a rage in the main palace, but Bei Lian had already accepted her fate. Her expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Bei Lian exited the main palace and made her way to the side of the Jade Lake to pluck another tree branch.
"Eleventh Sister, I didn't think you would do something so stupid." The crimson-haired man walked over with a wistful expression on his face.
Bei Lian bowed gracefully. "Ninth Brother, I don't think I did anything wrong."
"Heh, I told you. With your personality, you won't be able to go far even if you have talent.
"I was right, wasn't I? You probably won't even be able to reach the Soul Formation Final Stage, much less the Return to Void Stage."
The crimson-haired man shook his head as a mocking expression appeared on his face.
He couldn't even be bothered to put on an act anymore. It was precisely because Bei Lian had overshadowed his brilliance that the Dragon Court had given all of its cultivation resources to Bei Lian, yet no one cared about him. Why? Just because of Bei Lian's bloodline?
But now? Bei Lian had even crippled her bloodline in order to save some pearl. What a joke!
"Hehe … What an adorable little sister." The crimson-haired man couldn't be bothered to speak to someone like her. He chuckled lightly before departing.
Bei Lian didn't say anything. Instead, she broke off a branch from a tree and squatted beside the Jade Lake. She began to stir the goldfish at the bottom of the lake.
These goldfish had formed a school, and they quickly scattered after being stirred by her.
Before they knew it, the goldfish had gathered together again.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the lake and scaring away a few more goldfish.
"Eleventh Sister, I just saw Chi Wu pass by with a smile on his face. Did that bastard say anything to you?"
"Father has gone too far! He actually scolded you in front of so many people! He didn't even give you any cultivation resources! Are you even his biological son?!"
A beautiful young girl in a white dress walked to Bei Lian's side and spoke angrily.
Bei Lian shook her head lightly. "I can understand why Father is doing this. He's placing all of his hopes on his children. He hopes that a Dao Integration Stage True Dragon will appear in the Dragon Court and become a first-rate power in the Tai Chu Continent."
Yin Yu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "That's right. He's almost become a breeding dragon for the sake of his dream of unifying the East Sea and the Hundred Tribes. He's found so many wives and has so many children, but he only treats his family members by dividing them into useful and useless ones. I heard from the High Priest that the Dragon King intends to betroth you to Xia Ze in order to rope him in. What on earth is going on … "
Bei Lian's slender hand trembled slightly, and the tree branch fell into the lake, scaring away all the goldfish in the lake.
Yin Yu looked at Bei Lian with a worried expression. She didn't know what to say.
Xia Ze was the captain of the Dragon Court's Divine Guardian Squad, and he had been in love with Bei Lian for a long time. At the time, Bei Lian was the Little Dragon Princess, and her status was extremely revered. Two years ago, she publicly rejected Xia Ze's advances, and no one said anything about it.
But now, Bei Lian's status had plummeted, and the Dragon King actually decided to betroth her. Even Yin Yu felt extremely disappointed.
One had to realize that Bei Lian had already lost her mother, and she no longer had a path of cultivation. Now, even her last bit of happiness was going to be taken away from her …
Bei Lian came to her senses slightly, and a rare expression of desolation appeared in her eyes.
She changed the topic. "Oh right, why did you call Chi Wu a 'bastard' just then? Weren't you on good terms with him before?"
Yin Yu faltered slightly upon hearing this. She recalled that she and Chi Wu had chosen to remain silent at the same time.
She didn't say anything because she wanted to protect that man, and Chi Wu didn't say anything to protect his own image.
Yin Yu pondered for a moment, and decided to tell Bei Lian. "I'll tell you something in secret, but you can't tell anyone. In the Dragon Court's ancient battlefield, I accidentally entered the Myriad Ghost Realm. Chi Wu was afraid of danger, so he left me among the ghosts and ran away by himself. If it wasn't for a human cultivator who came to my rescue, I would've most likely died there. "
"Really? Then … who was that cultivator who saved you? He saved your life, and you let him go just like that? "Bei Lian asked with a hint of a smile on her face.
Yin Yu's heart sank again when she recalled that cultivator's vile behavior.
"Er, his name is An Lin, and he'll come to the Dragon Court to find me. You'll be able to see him then."
"His name … is An Lin?"
Bei Lian's expression faltered, and her cold voice trembled slightly.
