Before anyone could even react, the Azure Dragon Tribe head had already raised his hand up.
Then in one smooth move, he pushed out towards Qing Qiang.
There was an air pressure palm that flew out at Qing Qiang and crushed him into the ground before he could react as well.
He had been completely focused on the guards coming at him, so he didn't notice his father making a move.
After being crushed into the ground, Qing Qiang's eyes rolled back in his head and he didn't get up again.
There was only silence that followed after Qing Qiang had been knocked out.
Everyone first stared at Qing Qiang lying on the ground in shock before turning to look at the Azure Dragon Tribe head. In their eyes, there was a look of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that he would actually make a move to take down Qing Qiang like this.
But the facts were there in front of him and he wasn't able to deny it.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head nodded to the two guards who immediately went over to tie up Qing Qiang.
Then he turned to the representatives of the seven tribes and said, "I hope that you will bring news of this to the other tribe heads for me."
The seven of them found it hard to react after hearing this, but then they all nodded in agreement to this.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head nodded back before with a wave of his hand, there were several pieces of paper that appeared in front of them. As those pieces of paper floated there, he said, "This is the proof of this traitor's actions, I hope that you will bring it to the tribe heads."
The seven of them couldn't help revealing confused looks when they heard this.
But after taking those pieces of paper and reading them, they couldn't help understanding what the Azure Dragon Tribe head meant.
After all, there were members of their tribes that were implicated in this matter.
They would need to take care of this and hand them over to the elders of the Dragon Race, or else their tribes would also suffer.
The peace faction representatives looked at the Azure Dragon Tribe head with grateful looks, but this wasn't the case for the war faction representatives. That was because most of the ones that were implicated were related to the war faction tribes.
It was clear that he was giving them these not to help them…but rather to threaten them.
He knew that they were secretly helping Qing Qiang, which was something that hurt the Azure Dragon Tribe as a whole. So he was forcing them to back off or they would have to face the elders of the Dragon Race.
The elders were the real rulers of the Dragon Race, even though it seemed like the ones in charge were the leaders of the tribes.
They remained neutral in general when it came to the affairs of the Dragon Race, they only came out when it came to matters that would affect the survival of the entire Dragon Race.
So they didn't step in when it came to struggles of the war and peace factions. Both of these paths were paths that could be explored without endangering the Dragon Race, so they didn't step in.
But when it came to matters that involved betraying the Dragon Race, the elders of the Dragon Race frowned upon this seriously and would always involve themselves.
So this case would certainly catch the attention of the elders.
After this matter was settled, the representatives from the seven tribes were about to stand up and leave.
They all assumed that this was the only thing that the Azure Dragon Tribe head had wanted them to see, so they were all planning on returning to their tribes to report to the leaders.
Now that Qing Qiang had been taken care of and the future of the Azure Dragon Tribe was uncertain, the leaders had to be informed so they could plan accordingly.
But before they could leave, the Azure Dragon Tribe head said, "Now that that has been taken care of, we can move on to the main event."
As soon as they heard this, everyone couldn't help looking at him in shock.
This was a matter that could even alert the elders of the Dragon Race and the Azure Dragon Tribe head was actually just calling this a prologue.
If that was the case, then just how shocking was this "main event" that he spoke of.
Everyone couldn't help looking at each other with strange looks before settling down again. This included the representatives of the seven tribes.
They were all curious what this "main event" would be.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head actually waited for everyone to settle down before he started talking again.
When he spoke though, everyone was caught off guard by what he said.
"I'm sure that many of you have been anxious about the future of our Azure Dragon Tribe. But today, I want to announce my successor."
When they heard this, everyone suddenly revealed confused looks.
Successor?
The two candidates for the position of the next head of the Azure Dragon Tribe were all gone now, so how could there be a successor?
Qing Ao who everyone had wanted to take over had disappeared and Qing Qiang who had the highest chances had been deposed of by the Azure Dragon Tribe head.
Just who was left to become the successor?
The Azure Dragon Tribe head could see the confusion on everyone's faces and knew exactly what they were thinking of. However, he didn't seem to care as he continued with his announcement.
"This has been a matter that has plagued our tribe for a long time, but I want you all to be assured that I have chosen the best person for this job."
The Azure Dragon Tribe head turned to some of his people who had been waiting on the side the entire time.
When they saw him waving at them, they turned to the person that they had been watching over the entire time and brought that person up to the stage.
When the person arrived, she was brought over to where the Azure Dragon Tribe head was standing and then picked up by him. He held her with a smile on his face as he said, "I want to present my successor, my granddaughter, Qing Bao Lan."
Everyone couldn't help looking at the little girl in his hands with a strange look.
That was because not a single person knew about this granddaughter that he mentioned.
They had indeed heard about this granddaughter being born when Qing Ao was still in the tribe, but she had disappeared along with Qing Ao back then.
Everyone had assumed that it was Qing Qiang who took care of her, but now it seemed…that this wasn't the case.
However, since no one knew about her, not a single person knew what kind of views she had.
Especially those representatives from the seven tribes.
They wanted to know which faction she stood on, whether it was the war or peace faction.
One might assume that it was the peace faction since the Azure Dragon Tribe head supported her this much, but one could never know how she might develop. They could all see just how young she was, so they knew that there was still time before her real opinions developed.
Many people were confused why the Azure Dragon Tribe head would pick someone as young as this as his successor.
However, since he had done it and he had announced it in front of everyone like this, they knew that it was impossible for him to go back on his word now.
They were all planning on how to influence Qing Bao Lan to achieve their goals.
But the next words that the Azure Dragon Tribe head said completely caught them off guard.
"In addition to this, I want to announce something else very important to our Azure Dragon Tribe." This time, he said this in such a serious voice that people couldn't help looking at the Azure Dragon Tribe head with serious looks.
The Azure Dragon Tribe head waved his hand and then…there was a stone that appeared in his palm.
The moment that this stone appeared in his palm, everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to look at it.
That was because there was something special about this stone that drew all of them to it right away. This was a feeling that came from the very essence of their bodies, the very essence of their bloodlines.
It was as if something was telling them that they needed to have this stone.
But of course, no one dared to fight the Azure Dragon Tribe head for it.
Seeing these expressions on their faces, the Azure Dragon Tribe head revealed a satisfied look in his eyes.
He knew that he had obtained the reaction that he wanted, so he continued by saying, "I'm sure that all of you know that a few generations back, our tribe had a special artifact that could help purify bloodlines."
As soon as they heard this, everyone couldn't help revealing shocked expressions.
They could already guess what he was going to say next based on this and the feeling that they got from this stone, but they still waited for him to finish his words. They still waited for him to confirm it.
Then as if to confirm their guesses, the Azure Dragon Tribe head lifted up the stone and said, "This is the Dragon Stone that our Azure Dragon Tribe lost all those years ago."
