In Di Jue's opinion …
The Dragon Cleansing Pool would be opened three years later.
If he could enter at that time, he would definitely undergo a brand new transformation. His achievements in the future would far surpass Di Shan.
If he missed the opportunity three years later, even if he could enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool 5,000 years later, he would miss the best age to enter. Although Dragons had an extremely long lifespan, only dragons below 5,000 years old could be considered young Dragons.
Once one reached 5,000 years old, many things would be fixed.
Usually, Dragons with ordinary innate talent at 5,000 years old would not have any great achievements in their lifetime.
However, Duan Rufeng's words had killed his hope.
How could he be willing to accept this?
However, faced with the domineering Duan Rufeng, he did not dare to say anything. He could only look at Duan Rufeng and hurriedly sent a Voice Transmission to him, "Clan Leader, the Dragon Cleansing Pool is the foundation of us Dragons. It only opens once every 5,000 years. Please don't give this opportunity to Duan Rufeng! If an outsider uses the Dragon Cleansing Pool three years later, we Dragons will be silent for another 5,000 years! "
As Di Jue spoke, he revealed his trump card.
As a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, he naturally knew Di Shan's ambition. He also knew that Di Shan was filled with regret for not being able to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool that year.
Naturally, Di Shan was not regretful about the elevation of his ability.
Di Shan was regretful that he could not lead the Dragons to glory because he did not elevate his ability through the Dragon Cleansing Pool. Although the current Dragons were still the top force in the Dobusei Subterranean, they were no longer comparable to the Dragons of the past. All of this was because of him, the Clan Leader.
Just like the previous Clan Leader of the Dragons. Due to the baptism of the Dragon Cleansing Pool, his ability was so powerful that he looked down on everyone. He had also led the Dragons to the true peak of the Dobusei Subterranean.
During that era, there were not many forces in the Dobusei Subterranean who dared to challenge the Dragons.
Although the current Dragons were glorious on the surface, they were actually going downhill.
The root of all this was because the Dragons lacked a deterrent force, and this deterrent force came from the strength of the Dragons themselves.
Being the Patriarch of this generation of Dragons, Di Shan's strength was not enough to be a deterrent.
Otherwise, he would not have been forced by Duan Rufeng to seek peace.
If it had been the previous chief of the Dragons, he would not have been afraid of Duan Rufeng at all. That was because the strength of that Dragon chief was almost at the top of the Dobusei Subterranean.
The leader of that generation of Dragons was ranked in the top three on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
Upon hearing Di Jue's Voice Transmission, Di Shan felt irritated.
If it wasn't for this guy, the Dragons wouldn't have been so passive this time.
If not for this guy causing trouble, why would Duan Rufeng make such a request?
However, even if Di Jue had sent him a Voice Transmission, it was still difficult for Di Shan to agree to Duan Rufeng's request.
Although Di Shan would not snatch the opportunity to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool three years later, he had long decided to give it to Di Jue. This was because Di Jue was the next chief of the Dragons. If he could enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool and be baptized, he would definitely be able to restore the glory of the previous Dragons.
At that time, as long as Di Jue had time to grow, the Dragons would not be afraid of the Azure Cloud Mansion or the Mountainshade Black Market!
As the chief of the Dragons, Di Shan was very qualified. At the very least, he would stand on the side of the Dragons and not on his own.
If he was a selfish person, he would definitely not give the opportunity to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool three years later to Di Jue.
Although he wouldn't be able to improve much by entering the Dragon Cleansing Pool, if he were to be selfish, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to improve himself no matter how small a mosquito was.
It was because he always stood on the side of the Dragons that he allowed Di Jue to do whatever he wanted.
For example, when Di Jue sent his son, the Five-clawed Devil Dragon, Di Yong, away, he already knew about it. He just did not expose it.
Moreover, when Di Jue had threatened him and asked him to help him find Duan Ling Tian, he had done it without any hesitation.
It was not that he was afraid of Di Jue, but he was afraid Di Jue would leave the Dragons in a fit of anger. If that happened, the Dragons would lose their heir. At that time, he would become the sinner of the Dragons.
Even if it was against his conscience to help Di Jue, he still did it for the sake of the Dragons' future.
Di Shan was such a person. To be more precise, he was such a dragon.
He had lived for the Dragons his entire life.
Due to this reason, it was impossible for him to agree to Duan Rufeng's condition.
After taking a deep breath, Di Shan looked at Duan Rufeng and said with certainty, "Mansion Master Duan, since you know about our Dragon Cleansing Pool, you should know what it means to us Dragons … You should know that it's impossible for us dragons to let an outsider enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool."
"I've said it before. You don't have to mention the Dragon Cleansing Pool … However, you must hand Di Jue over to me!"
Duan Rufeng's tone was calm as he looked at Di Jue.
From the beginning until the end, it seemed like he was not surprised by Di Shan's rejection at all.
"Mansion Master Duan, you're making things difficult for me!"
Di Shan said in a deep voice.
"Making things difficult for me?"
Duan Rufeng's expression turned grave as he sneered. "Di Shan, you seem to have misunderstood something … Did I, Duan Rufeng, come to the Dragons for no reason? If it wasn't for the fact that the Dragons have gone too far, I wouldn't have come to your lousy place even if you invited me with eight carriers! "
Dragons? Lousy place!
Not many people in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land would dare to say such words.
However, Duan Rufeng had said so. The few Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders, led by Xue Chan, paled when they heard his words. However, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
It was obvious this Mansion Master Duan was in a fit of anger.
At this moment, whoever dared to provoke him would be asking for trouble.
They were not stupid.
"Mansion Master Duan, I admit that the Dragons are in the wrong … Apart from these two conditions, I'll agree to any of your conditions."
Di Shan sighed and said helplessly.
His heart was filled with bitterness.
If he was the one who had entered the Dragon Cleansing Pool 5,000 years ago, would he be in such a passive position now?
If he had entered the Dragon Cleansing Pool that year, he was confident he would have the strength to easily defeat Duan Rufeng.
"I'm not interested in making a third request …"
Duan Rufeng said nonchalantly, causing Di Shan's expression to turn grave. Even Di Jue and the few Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders, led by Xue Chan, had a change of expression.
They did not expect Duan Rufeng to be so resolute.
Either he would let his son enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool three years later.
Or he would kill Di Jue.
"Mansion Master Duan …"
Di Shan frowned as his expression turned grave. He was already considering if he should lure Duan Rufeng away from the Dragons' estate and have a final battle with him.
"I haven't finished my sentence."
Duan Rufeng interrupted Di Shan and said nonchalantly, "Although I won't make a third request, I'm willing to add some conditions to my son's request to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool. These conditions are fair to all of you Dragons. If all of you agree to it, I'll leave right away and forget about Di Jue's previous actions. "
Di Shan and the few Five-clawed Divine Dragons exchanged glances. They could see the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Please speak, Mansion Master Duan."
Di Shan quickly looked at Duan Rufeng with an expression that said, "I'd like to hear more about it."
"As far as I know, although the Dragon Cleansing Pool will open three years later, it's up to you, the Clan Leader of the Dragons, to decide when it will open. Moreover, it will open six years later at the latest. Am I right? "
Duan Rufeng asked as he looked at Di Shan.
"Mansion Master Duan really knows a lot about the Dragon Cleansing Pool of us Dragons."
Di Shan smiled wryly as he secretly cursed Duan Rufeng. Could it be that he had been coveting the Dragon Cleansing Pool of the Dragons since a long time ago? Otherwise, how could he know so much about the Dragon Cleansing Pool? "The Dragon Cleansing Pool will open three years later. I'll decide when it will open. However, it can only be delayed by three years at most. If you don't enter after six years, you won't be able to enter for the next 5,000 years."
"Seems like it's the same as what I know."
Duan Rufeng nodded. At the same time, he looked at Di Jue and said nonchalantly, "My condition is … The Dragon Cleansing Pool will open two years later. In other words, it will open five years later. Before it opens, my son will fight with Di Jue. The winner will enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool! Are you satisfied with this, Clan Leader Di Shan? If you're still not satisfied with this, then I have nothing else to say. Let's fight! "
When Duan Rufeng reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Di Shan again as though he was ready to fight at any time.
"Five years?"
When Di Shan heard this, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Di Jue immediately.
Among the members of the Dragons present, Di Jue was the only one who had come into contact with Duan Rufeng's son, Duan Lingtian. Therefore, he had a better understanding of Duan Lingtian.
However, when he looked at Di Jue, he saw that Di Jue's eyes were gleaming with great confidence. It was as though he did not reject the additional condition that Duan Rufeng had proposed at all.
"Di Jue, are you confident?"
Di Shan asked through Voice Transmission. He wanted to confirm it further.
"Clan Leader, agree with him!"
Di Jue replied through Voice Transmission. His tone was filled with confidence. "I've come into contact with that Duan Lingtian before. Although his innate talent is not bad, he's just so-so … Let alone five years, even if he's given ten or twenty years, he won't be a match for me! This Duan Rufeng has really underestimated me. He actually proposed such an additional condition! "
When Di Jue reached the end of his sentence, his tone was filled with disdain.
"Are you sure?"
Di Shan was still a little hesitant. "Since Duan Rufeng has proposed such a condition, I'm sure he won't say it without thinking … You better think this through. If you're defeated five years later, you'll lose the opportunity to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool! At that time, our Dragons will be silent for another 5,000 years … If you're defeated, not only will you miss out on a great opportunity, but you'll also become a sinner of the Dragons!
A sinner of the Dragons!
One must admit that Di Shan's words caused Di Jue to fall into silence.
