The person was stunned on the spot when he heard the name. He did not return to his senses for quite a while.
After a long while, he finally reacted. His gaze towards Nie Tian was filled with extreme shock as he confirmed again, "Are you really a dragon shepherd?"
Nie Tian nodded and smiled, "How do you think an outsider would know about dragon shepherds, and how do you think he possesses such powerful dragon aura?"
His reply made the person sink into silence.
He was shocked when he sensed Nie Tian's dragon aura earlier. As a member of the Dragon clan, he had never seen such terrifying dragon aura before. Even the legendary four Ancestral Dragons could not match up to Nie Tian's dragon aura.
He had been confused before. How could an outsider like Nie Tian possess such powerful dragon aura?
Everything seemed to be clear now.
However, he was still unable to accept that the dragon shepherds mentioned in the three Void Prophecies of the Dragon clan were actually an outsider.
Nie Tian was in no hurry. He gave the person sufficient time to accept it.
A while later, the person looked at Nie Tian. A strange light flickered in his eyes as he asked sternly, "If you're really a dragon shepherd, you should know about the greatest taboo of the Dragon clan, right?"
"The Dikarma Ruin," Nie Tian smiled faintly and directly said a name.
"You really know about it?" The person was stunned once again. He cried out in shock.
Perhaps Nie Tian the dragon shepherd had learnt about it through luck, but it was impossible for him to know about the Dikarma Ruin so easily.
According to his knowledge, there were less than five people in the entire Dragon clan who knew about the Dikarma Ruin.
It seemed like Nie Tian really was a dragon shepherd!
"Not only have I heard of the Dikarma Ruin, but I've even seen him in person," Nie Tian smiled faintly as he studied the person's reaction.
"Are you saying that one of the four supreme experts who appeared in the Hidden Dragon Competition of the five academies is a Dikarma Ruin?" The person's eyes trembled as he asked sternly.
The Hidden Dragon Competition of Vast Cloud Sacred City had caused a huge uproar. Basically everyone in the Saints' World knew about it.
The appearance of the four supreme experts directly overturned the cultivators' understanding of the peak of martial arts.
Moreover, the entire Vast Cloud Sacred City, and even the entire All-Heaven Sacred World, nearly suffered a calamity because of it.
However, most people did not know who those four super experts were, nor did they know where they came from.
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded and said, "It seems that you have also secretly investigated. I have really underestimated you."
The man frowned and said, "After I heard about this, I guessed that there might be Emperor Karma Ruins among the four experts. So I went to Vast Cloud Sacred City to check, and there was indeed Emperor Dragon Energy. However, I'm not sure that the Emperor Dragon Qi was left behind by the Emperor Karma Ruins. "
"After all, the Dikarma Ruins only existed in legends before. Whether it really exists or not is still a question. But when I saw you, I was sure that that person was the Emperor of Karma! "
The corner of Nie Tian's mouth twitched as he said, "So you believe me?"
"Yes." The man nodded, and his expression suddenly became stern. Looking at Nie Tian, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said in a clear voice, "Subordinate Ye Yao greets the Dragon Shepherd."
"Hmm?" Nie Tian frowned. He did not expect Ye Yao to act like this. He hurriedly helped him up and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I'm Nie Tian. We can just talk like friends."
Somehow, he began to like this dragon cultivator called Ye Yao in front of him.
Ye Yao stood up and let out a deep breath. Looking like he was relieved of a heavy burden, he said, "So grandfather and father didn't lie to me."
"What do you mean?" Nie Tian was taken aback and had a look of confusion.
"I'm a member of the Night Dragon clan," Ye Yao's gaze trembled as he said seriously.
"Night Dragon clan?" Nie Tian still had a look of surprise. He did not understand what was so unusual about the Night Dragon clan.
"Night Dragon clan!" Chi Jian, who was next to him, suddenly exclaimed, "So this branch of the dragon clan has descendants!"
"You know about the Night Dragon clan?" Ye Yao looked at the weathered elder in front of him and was also surprised.
The Night Dragon clan was a hidden clan of the dragon clan. Not to mention outsiders, even the dragon clan itself knew about it.
"Legend has it that the Night Dragon clan is the clan of prophecies of the dragon clan," Chi Jian nodded and said, "The three great prophecies of the dragon clan all came from the Night Dragon clan. At the same time, the Night Dragon clan is known as the Dragon Shepherd Protectors. The clan has been waiting for the Dragon Shepherds to appear. "
"However, due to the special bloodline of the Night Dragon clan, they can't marry other clans. They can only marry within the clan. Therefore, after the catastrophe a long time ago, the number of the Night Dragon clan decreased. "
"I thought the Night Dragon clan was already extinct. I didn't expect them to still exist!"
Ye Yao looked at Chi Jian and his eyes trembled slightly. There was a trace of moisture at the corner of his eyes.
It was obvious that Chi Jian's words made him recall many things.
"Most of what you said is correct." After a while, Ye Yao calmed down and said with a solemn expression, "Perhaps I'm the last Night Dragon clan member. If I die, the Night Dragon clan will disappear completely. "
After saying that, he revealed an indescribable sorrow.
As the last person of the clan, who could understand this kind of pain?
"Ye Yao, why does the Hidden Dragon Thorn want to kill you?" Nie Tian asked after Ye Yao calmed down.
"I don't know either." Ye Yao shook his head and his eyes flickered strangely. "Perhaps this is what they want."
As he spoke, he took out a smooth black stone and passed it to Nie Tian.
"What's this?" Nie Tian took the stone and sensed it, but he couldn't sense any aura at all. He couldn't help but ask with a strange expression.
"I don't know what it is exactly." Ye Yao shook his head uncertainly. "I'm guessing that this should be the key to open the Emperor's Heart Ancestral Dragon."
"Key?" Nie Tian frowned, a confused expression appearing on his face.
"This thing is passed down from generation to generation in our Night Dragon clan. However, because the lifespan of the Night Dragon clan members isn't long, no one knows what this thing is or what it can do." Ye Yao sighed, and said: "My understanding of this thing, was obtained from a tattered ancient book. Unfortunately, that ancient book is already very tattered, and the contents are incomplete. I can only guess many things. "
"Ancient book?" Suddenly, Chi Jian raised his head. His eyes flickered with a strange light as he asked in shock, "Is it the Heavenly Light Dragon Shadow?"
Ye Yao looked at Chi Jian and couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he muttered, "Y-should be."
As he spoke, he took out a tattered ancient book.
The entire book was torn into two, and Ye Yao was holding the lower half. There were four incomplete words on the cover, and he couldn't tell what they were.
At this moment, Chi Jian's hands suddenly trembled. He slowly felt around and took out a piece of parchment. He opened it bit by bit and revealed half of the book.
