Elder Yuan and the others did not bother hiding themselves, and the Serpentine Dragon in the sky seemed to be aware of their presence as well. It glared at them coldly and said with a thunderous voice, "Humans, do you think that you can lure me over with your dragon blood?"
"Indeed. I know that you must have noticed us long ago, but you chose not to show yourself because you wanted to see what kind of treasure we have!"
Taking a step forward, Elder Yuan's zhenqi surged furiously, threatening to tear the sky apart.
"Heavenly High Immortal realm?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Elder Yuan appeared to be in his forties, but who could have thought that he was actually a Heavenly High Immortal realm expert? Judging from his aura, he was even stronger than Elder Chou Huo!
No wonder so many old men were supporting him. He was indeed extraordinary.
"Indeed. At this level of cultivation, everything else is meaningless. If you want me to submit to you, you'll have to possess fighting prowess that surpasses mine!" the Serpentine Dragon harrumphed.
As a Serpentine Dragon, it knew that the other party had sent so many people to tame it. The reason why it did not show itself was because they wanted to see whether the treasure they had brought was worthy of it or not.
If it was not attractive enough, its saint beasts and immortal beasts would be able to drive it away.
If it was attractive enough, it would not mind fighting with it.
As someone who possessed the Dragon Bloodline, it had never feared fighting against opponents of the same cultivation realm.
"Fighting prowess?"
Elder Yuan chuckled. "In terms of fighting prowess, I am no match for you. However, not only can I purify the dragon blood that flows out of my body, I can also purify the dragon blood in your body!"
"Purify the dragon blood in my body?"
The Serpentine Dragon narrowed its eyes in astonishment.
The main reason why the Dragon Tribe was so powerful was due to their bloodline.
If the other party could purify the dragon blood in its body, it would be able to overcome its bottleneck and become a Pureblooded Dragon!
This was a huge temptation to any kind of Dragon Clan.
"Do you have any way to prove it?" the Serpentine Dragon harrumphed.
"It's simple. These purified dragon blood are the proof. I believe that with your eye of discernment, you should be able to tell that these are all Serpentine Dragon blood, just like yours. However, the fact that I was able to succeed is more than enough to prove my capability. This is the only chance for you to become a Pureblooded Dragon. Whether you can grasp it or not will depend on yourself! "
Elder Yuan chuckled softly as confidence gleamed in his eyes.
Purifying one's blood and transforming from a Flood Dragon to a True Dragon. As long as one was a member of the Dragon Race, no one would be able to resist.
He didn't believe that the other party could resist the temptation.
"I hope you're telling the truth …"
The Flood Dragon in the sky snorted coldly. "However, even if it's true, you'll need sufficient strength to tame me … Show me what you've got! If not, stay on the mountain today and don't go back … "
Rumble!
As soon as he finished speaking, his claws tore down.
In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to be frozen, and violent energy filled the surroundings like a hurricane.
"So powerful …"
Narrowing his eyes, Elder Yuan chuckled softly. "Since I dared to tame you, it goes without saying that I knew that you would use this move …"
Stomping his foot on the ground, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and a sphere appeared in his palm, radiating a dazzling light.
"Northern Sea Dragon Pearl?"
Elder Liao was taken aback, and the other elders also revealed looks of astonishment.
The Northern Sea Dragon Pearl was a treasure unique to the Northern Sea. It had the ability to induce hallucinations, making it extremely attractive and lethal to the Dragon Tribe.
It was said that the head of the Ethereal Hall had once used this artifact to fish out a Pseudo Dragon from the Hall of Gods.
The hierarchy of the Dragon Tribe was extremely strict. Beasts like the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast only possessed the Dragon Bloodline, but they couldn't be considered as members of the Dragon Tribe.
Above them were the Serpentine Dragons, followed by Pseudo Dragons and Pureblooded Dragons.
Those that could reach the level of Pseudo Dragons were equivalent to Semi-Divinity realm cultivators.
The fact that the Northern Sea Dragon Pearl was able to fish out even a Pseudo Dragon showed just how irresistible it was to the Dragon Tribe.
However, the Northern Sea spanned tens of millions of kilometers, and the Northern Sea Dragon Pearl was extremely rare. There were some who would spend their entire lives without ever seeing one, and only a handful of people in history had managed to obtain one. As such, the Northern Sea Dragon Pearl only existed in legends. No one could have thought that Elder Yuan would actually be able to find it!
It seemed like he had really put in a lot of effort in order to tame this Serpentine Dragon.
Judging from the current situation, it was likely that the position of the sect leader was already vacant.
Hu!
As soon as the Dragon Pearl appeared, a dazed look surfaced in the Serpentine Dragon's eyes.
"Hehe!"
Elder Yuan chuckled softly as he leaped into the air. With a flick of his wrist, the Northern Sea Dragon Pearl immediately flew to the side, and the Serpentine Dragon followed closely behind it.
Hu hu hu!
Zhang Xuan continued moving the Dragon Pearl, but the Serpentine Dragon did not dare to stop for even a moment. It was as if the Dragon Pearl had come into contact with the Dragon Pearl, causing the Serpentine Dragon to constantly twist its body in the air.
"This is … the Dragon Pearl Taunting the Dragon!"
Elder Liao chuckled softly as his eyes glowed in excitement. "The Dragon Tribe is proud and powerful, and every single one of them has their own pride. Under normal circumstances, even if they were to be defeated, they would never submit to anyone. The reason why Elder Yuan used the Dragon Pearl to lure the Serpentine Dragon over and tease it is to shatter its will and humiliate it. At the same time, it will also exhaust its stamina, rendering it powerless to retaliate! "
The crowd nodded in agreement.
There were many ways to tame a Serpentine Dragon, but the Dragon Pearl Taunting the Dragon was the best way to exhaust the Serpentine Dragon's stamina and pride.
This was similar to taming an eagle. Once the Serpentine Dragon was exhausted, it would naturally submit to you.
The Dragon Tribe was proud, but if you could exhaust its strength, it would still submit to you without any hesitation.
Hu hu hu!
While they were chatting, the movements of the Serpentine Dragon grew larger and larger under the Dragon Pearl's teasing. It flew higher and higher, and at the same time, it was getting further and further away from Zhang Xuan.
Seeing the man and the Serpentine Dragon gradually forming a black dot in the distance, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but frown.
"Something is amiss …"
He felt that something was amiss, but he was unable to put his finger on it.
To put it bluntly, the Serpentine Dragon was simply too gullible!
Previously, the attendant had told him that there were many experts in the Myriad Beasts Hall who had tried to tame the Serpentine Dragon, but none of them had succeeded. Since that was the case, the Serpentine Dragon should have known that Elder Yuan had many tricks up his sleeves …
But why would it still fall for the Dragon Pearl so easily?
Why would it be attracted by the Dragon Pearl?
Could it really be that the Dragon Pearl wielded such immense power?
"It seems a little reckless to challenge the Serpentine Dragon after being attracted by the blood essence …"
Zhang Xuan had tamed quite a few saint beasts and spirit beasts that harbored the Dragon Bloodline, so he knew how resilient those fellows were. As powerful as the blood essence that Elder Yuan had refined was, it wasn't enough to make the Serpentine Dragon charge over!
Furthermore, even if it did charge over, it would surely make a move on it. There was no way it would waste so much time talking nonsense and allow the other party to take advantage of its weakness …
Thus, no matter how he looked at it, it was inconceivable.
But … he had taken a closer look with the Eye of Insight, and it was indeed the Serpentine Dragon in the sky!
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan didn't rush out. Instead, he continued watching the battle.
It was hard to tell whether it was due to the Serpentine Dragon leading the Dragon Pearl or his own movements, but Elder Yuan, who was toying with the Serpentine Dragon, was getting further and further away.
Hu!
At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly echoed in the sky. Following which, an elder dressed in tattered clothes appeared before Zhang Xuan.
Before he could even land on the ground, he was already spurting blood furiously. There was a massive wound on his chest, and blood was flowing profusely from it.
He was already severely injured.
"Elder Liao, this is bad! Let's go!"
Peng!
The elder landed on the ground anxiously.
"Elder Wang, didn't you go with Elder Liu to tame the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix? Why are you here? Where are the others? "
Elder Liao hurriedly rushed up to the elder and fed him two pills to suppress his injuries before asking anxiously.
In this examination, the two most popular young elders had made a move, and they, the old fellows, were only there to assist them.
Elder Wang was the one who had assisted Elder Liu in taming the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix. Why would he suddenly appear here and sustain severe injuries?
"We fell for a trap! The Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix, Serpentine Dragon, and Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger worked together to attack us. Elder Liu was killed on the spot, and the other elders were severely injured as well. I was the only one who managed to escape here …"
After recovering a little, Elder Wang said anxiously.
"The three immortal beasts worked together? When did that happen? "
Elder Liao narrowed his eyes and asked anxiously.
"Just a moment ago. I escaped quickly, and the other elders tried their best to stop them. Otherwise, they would have already charged over …" Elder Wang said anxiously. "Let's hurry up, or else we might not make it in time …"
"Just a moment ago? That can't be right … Elder Yuan just lured the Serpentine Dragon away, so how could it possibly work together with the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix to kill you? "
Elder Liao could hardly believe what he was hearing.
The Serpentine Dragon had already been here for a long time, and it had been distracted by Elder Yuan's Northern Sea Dragon Orb all this time.
"I don't know either …" Elder Wang shook his head.
Shaking his head, Elder Wang was just about to urge the crowd to leave when his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his body stiffened. Following his gaze, the crowd saw a Serpentine Dragon, a phoenix-like immortal beast, and a Saber-toothed Tiger making their way through the air, appearing right above the crowd.
"Serpentine Dragon?"
Elder Liao's body turned cold as he hurriedly turned his gaze to Elder Yuan, only to see the latter wielding the Dragon Orb in his hand, and right in front of him, another Serpentine Dragon was flying nonstop.
Elder Yuan had taken one with him, so why would another one suddenly appear?
Could it be that … there were two Serpentine Dragons on the Ascendant Cloud Mountain?
But that was impossible!
A mountain couldn't accommodate two tigers, so naturally, it couldn't accommodate two dragons either …
"Could it be that …"
Elder Liao narrowed his eyes in realization, and his body stiffened. "The one that was lured away by Elder Yuan's Dragon Orb earlier … was it the White-eared Fox?"
The White-eared Fox wasn't particularly powerful, but it specialized in creating illusions.
Could it be that … the Serpentine Dragon was a manifestation of it?
Otherwise, given that three of the four immortal beasts were already here, why hadn't the most intelligent one shown up yet?
"You aren't a fool after all, but it's too late now …"
The Serpentine Dragon harrumphed coldly as it swiped its claws forward. The jade bottle filled with blood essence immediately fell into its claws, and following which, it swept its tail forward.
Padah!
Suffering a heavy blow, Elder Liao was sent flying before crashing onto the ground.
