Xiao Chen followed General Feng into the inner hall. After the four sat down, General Feng clapped his hands.
Someone immediately came over and offered the extra rewards that Wei Hongfei and the others requested.
Wei Hongfei showed no joy on his face. He waved his hand and said, "There's no need. We barely managed to complete this mission. Flame Dragon City's Essence is also damaged. Give it to our injured brothers. The Golden Dragon Palace does not lack this bit of resources. "
The moment General Feng said that, Liu Feng and the other White Dragon Palace core disciples felt somewhat embarrassed.
However, this made sense. When they thought about the Flame Dragon Legion's losses, they recalled the Dragon Race cultivators who died in the sea of lava.
The cruel scene appeared before his eyes as soon as he recalled it. The miserable screams of the Dragon Race still lingered in their ears. Surging blood Qi spread for five thousand kilometers around.
Liu Feng and the White Dragon Palace core disciples chose to give up.
General Feng said softly, "There's no need to feel guilty. This mission was a failure on my part. Everyone completed it excellently. All the extra rewards came from my own pocket and have nothing to do with the legion.
"Furthermore, it is not that there is no good news. The Rakshasa Race army suffered heavy losses as well. The Golden Crow Empire has already taken back their stronghold. I already negotiated with their leader. For the next ten years, they will get twenty percent of the stronghold's resources. The stronghold will still belong to our Dragon Race. Soon, we will raise the Dragon Race's war flag there.
"At the very least, when the Dragon's Gate's might is displayed, all the factions of the underground world will know about it. Without the Flame Dragon Legion fighting a bitter battle, causing the Rakshasa Race army to suffer heavy losses, the Golden Crow Empire would not have such an easy pick-up. Hence, you have completed your mission excellently. "
Even though the four were not willing to accept the extra rewards, General Feng still forcefully gave them, keeping to his promise.
"The Golden Crow Empire?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself. Then, he recalled something. Ao Jiao and Little Yellow Feather seemed to have gone to the Golden Crow Empire.
Xiao Chen had known long ago that Little Yellow Feather was slowly recovering the memories that his ancestors had passed on to him.
Back then, Ao Jiao had said that she would send Little Yellow Feather to his old home.
The scenes of the past on Grave Island flashed before Xiao Chen's eyes.
After that night of romance, there was no more news of Ao Jiao and Little Yellow Feather. Xiao Chen followed his original heart and searched for the moon step by step. Where was Ao Jiao?
Could it be in the Golden Crow Empire?
"Yes, the Golden Crow Empire, one of the Eight Great Empires of the Central Great Realm. Three years ago, the Golden Crow Empire became the most famous empire among the Eight Great Empires. The legendary ancestor of the Golden Crow actually reappeared. This is truly shocking. "
At the mention of the Golden Crow Empire, General Feng sighed with emotion.
A pure-blooded Golden Crow had actually descended into the Golden Crow Empire. This was simply like a legend.
The entire Golden Crow Empire was in an uproar, and even the entire Vast Thousand Domains were in an uproar.
One must know that the so-called Dragon Clan and the other Primordial Races were not pure-blooded. However, humans with ancient bloodlines could only be considered descendants of the Dragon Race. Even the Six Colored Divine Dragons were the same.
Little Yellow Feather's appearance in the Golden Crow Empire was like a pure-blooded Ancestor Dragon descending to the Divine Dragon Empire.
The commotion it caused was naturally imaginable.
General Feng could still remember that the upper echelons of the Dragon Sect were all shocked when they received this news.
They even sent out a large number of people to search for the Ancestor Dragon of the Dragon Clan. In the end, they returned empty-handed.
The Dragon Race was not like the Golden Crow or the Vermilion Bird, which could undergo nirvanic rebirth and pass down their memories to the next generation. It was practically impossible.
When Xiao Chen heard General Feng's words, his expression did not change. However, he felt shocked in his heart. Indeed, it was as he expected.
On the other hand, Wei Hongfei, Liu Feng, and the others showed calm expressions. They had known about this long ago, having been shocked back then.
"General Feng, might I ask how that Golden Crow appeared?"
Xiao Chen asked softly, unable to suppress the questions in his heart.
The others gave Xiao Chen strange looks, expressing their confusion. To think that Xiao Chen did not know about such a major matter.
This stunned Xiao Chen. He knew that he had asked the wrong question. Given his fake identity, he should know about this.
Xiao Chen could only add, "Back then, I left the Central Great Realm to hide from my enemies. I only rushed back after obtaining some fortuitous encounters. "
General Feng nodded. "No wonder. However, there is no harm in telling you. Back then, the Golden Crow Empire offered sacrifices and divined that the Golden Crow Ancestor would appear. Even they did not believe it, so they divined it many times before informing the Golden Crow Empire's upper echelon.
"This continued until the Golden Crow Empire's Faux God ancestor, who had been in closed-door cultivation for many years, suddenly came out. Then, before everyone's incredulous gazes, he respectfully appeared with a pure-blooded Golden Crow and a young girl, causing the entire empire to stir.
"Speaking of which, it was rather mystical. That young girl was naturally beautiful without any makeup. Her face was exquisite, her lips and teeth fresh, and her bright eyes hid dimples. However, her bloodline was ordinary. She sat on the pure-blooded Golden Crow openly, not showing any fear at all. You should know that even that Faux God ancestor does not dare to look the pure-blooded Golden Crow in the eye. "
Xiao Chen could not help thinking, It would be strange if it showed fear. She was the one who raised it.
Back then, that Little Yellow Feather did not even care about him, its master in name. It liked sticking to Ao Jiao.
However, if the Golden Crow Empire's people knew that Ao Jiao named the supreme Holy Beast in their eyes Little Yellow Feather, they would probably die from anger.
Now that the Golden Crow Empire's people mentioned the Golden Crow Empire, they still felt somewhat shocked when they recalled the past.
Murong Yan, who sat beside Xiao Chen, said, "I know about this. That young girl calls herself Ao Jiao. I heard that she is incredibly beautiful, comparable to our White Dragon Holy Daughter."
The White Dragon Palace core disciple immediately felt upset. "How can she compare to our White Dragon Holy Daughter? Our White Dragon Holy Daughter has a Grade 7 bloodline. She has an innate dragon soul and is crystalline and flawless. In terms of aura and beauty, she is unparalleled, capable of toppling nations. How can she compare? "
Seeing Murong Yan's serious expression, Murong Yan's lips curled up. He whispered, "I'm just saying. You make it sound like the White Dragon Holy Daughter is your home … Xiao Chen, don't you think so?"
Xiao Chen felt stunned, but he did not say anything. It seemed like both of them were his. Even that Golden Crow was hatched by Xiao Chen's Heavenly Flame.
Of course, Xiao Chen would definitely not say this out loud.
Wei Hongfei thought for a while before saying, "The Golden Crow Empire has the Divine Flame Church as its national religion. I recall that that young girl was conferred the title of Solar Divine Daughter."
General Feng smiled and said, "Indeed. There is a rumor in the Golden Crow Empire that their pure-blooded Golden Crow was brought out from the sun by the Solar Divine Daughter."
Feeling somewhat depressed, Liu Feng asked, "Speaking of which, what benefits did this pure-blooded Golden Crow bring to the Golden Crow Empire?"
General Feng replied sullenly, "The benefits were too great. Why else do you think the Golden Crow Empire's Faux God ancestor personally came out of closed-door cultivation? Back then, I heard that there were many battles in secret. Many factions did not want the Holy Beasts to return to the Golden Crow Empire. There were many top-notch figures who came to stop us. We almost couldn't make it back. "
"If we are talking about intangible benefits, naturally, it is the increase in the nation's Luck. You can see this just by looking at how strong the Golden Crow Empire has become in the past three years. As for tangible benefits, let me put it this way. If a pure-blooded Ancestor Dragon appears, all you need to do is take a look, and your strength will increase by twenty percent. "
Wei Hongfei nodded and said, "There is a Golden Divine Dragon statue that is said to be petrified in the Golden Dragon Palace. Back when I became a core disciple, I was allowed to cultivate under the statue for three days, and my strength increased by more than thirty percent. Many questions that were difficult to understand were suddenly enlightened. I really can't imagine the benefits of cultivating beside a living Divine Dragon. "
General Feng said, "No matter what, a strong Golden Crow Empire is beneficial to our Divine Dragon Empire. Although the eight empires compete with each other, they help each other out and are allies in name. The stronger the Golden Crow Empire is, the more pressure the dynasties have to bear. The other empires will be better off, too. "
The eight empires were elite empires with the bloodlines of the Great Desolate Eon's overlord. The four dynasties would have to be wary of them.
If one looked further back, the conflicts between the dynasties and empires could be traced back to the beginning of the Martial Epoch.
"Xiao Chen, although you did not ask for any additional rewards, you have to accept my kind intentions."
General Feng took out a separate box and handed it to Xiao Chen before everyone.
General Feng did not show any fear. However, Wei Hongfei and the others did not overthink it, either. Be it chopping down Rakshasa Tian's clone with one saber strike or saving the Flame Dragon Legion at the last moment, Xiao Chen was worthy of this valuable gift from General Feng.
Xiao Chen was worthy of the heavy gift that General Feng gave to him alone.
Without any pleasantries, Xiao Chen returned the gesture and took the box. Murong Yan smiled and said, "General, I contributed as well. Don't forget about me."
"Naturally, I won't forget." General Feng smiled faintly and took out another gift, handing it to Murong Yan.
When Murong Yan opened it, he immediately beamed with joy. That was a flame seed from the depths of the Abyssal Underworld.
The Red Dragon Race was innately skilled with fire. This great gift brought out the best in Murong Yan's heart.
Xiao Chen wanted to open his own box, but General Feng stopped him. He smiled and said, "Open it after we return to the Heaven Dragon Palace. I will not send everyone out of the city. "
