Chapter 240 - To Play The Long Game (5)

“Master, why are you here?” Feng Zhan asked curiously. Shouldn’t Master be concocting pills right now?

“Feng Zhan, go and tell them to advance,” Leng Ruoxue said directly. After all those members of the Phoenix clan advanced to divine beast, she would be ready to leave a few days later.

“I’ll inform them immediately,” Feng Zhan said happily. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

…

Dragon Island.

In the main hall, Long Hao was sitting on the throne. Below him were the ten elders of the Dragon clan, including the third elder with flowers all over his body.

“You already know what happened. Tell me your thoughts!” Long Hao’s sharp golden eyes scanned the elders sitting below him.

“Your Majesty, we dragons are born noble, so how can we be commanded by humans?” The seventh elder spoke first, his wrinkled face full of disapproval.

“Does anyone have a different opinion?” Long Hao’s golden eyes narrowed. He had already expected the reaction of the seventh elder, so he was not surprised that the old man would object.

A little old man with white hair stood up and said, “Your Majesty, if that Leng Ruoxue can really help our clan advance, it won’t be a loss to acknowledge her as our master.”

“Second Elder, you are mistaken!” The seventh elder hurriedly stood up to object when he heard the little old man.

“Seventh Elder, calm down and let Second Elder finish speaking,” Long Hao interrupted. But he was thinking in his heart that he had almost made the necessary arrangements, and he couldn’t let this stubborn old man spoil the plans.

“Your Majesty, elders, please listen to me. Although Leng Ruoxue is only a human, she has pills that can advance holy beasts to divine beasts. Everyone should know very well how difficult it is to advance to divine beast. Moreover, the Phoenix King has already acknowledged her as his master. I believe that the strength of the Phoenix clan will soon surpass ours. Do you want to see that happen?” the second elder said loudly with his blood boiling. He mentioned the Phoenix clan because he knew that these elders would not want to see the Phoenix clan become stronger than them.

“I think Second Elder makes sense,” the other elders agreed. Although dragons and phoenixes were not arch-enemies, they were definitely not friends. In fact, the animosity between the two races had existed for a long time. Therefore, they would always start fighting whenever the two races met.

“Hmph! Who knows if Leng Ruoxue really has that kind of medicinal pill in her hand,” the seventh elder said with a face full of disbelief.

“Huo Ao tested it himself. How can it be fake? Moreover, he said it himself,” the second elder said hurriedly. What he implied was that even if you didn’t believe in humans, shouldn’t you believe in your own people?

“He has already acknowledged a human as his master, so of course he will speak up for humans.” The seventh elder snorted and quibbled. Anyway, he just didn’t agree.

“Seventh Elder, what’s the meaning of this? Could it be that you think my son is lying?” the third elder questioned with a displeased face. His son finally became successful, but he was still being doubted. Hmph! How unreasonable!

“I didn’t mean that,” the seventh elder quickly denied. He didn’t want to provoke this violent dragon.

“Stop arguing. We must discuss this matter over a long period of time. Let’s wait and see first!” the first elder, who had not said a word all this while, said resolutely. After the first elder spoke, none of the elders dared to speak anymore.

Alas! Just a little more! Long Hao was depressed. The first elder had a high status in the Dragon clan and had watched him grow up. So he didn’t dare to force it if the first elder did not agree. But there was still hope since the first elder didn’t refuse outrightly.

At the same time, the sky outside the hall suddenly became incomparably dazzling, and lights flashed non-stop.

Long Hao and the others hurriedly ran out of the hall.

“Your Majesty, these are the heaven and earth laws for advancement,” the second elder said as he looked up at the sky. Heaven and earth laws had been descending all the time recently, but they hadn’t been able to identify it the previous few times. This time, the place where the heaven and earth laws descended was clearly the territory of the Phoenix clan.

“Damn it. Those damn birds are actually advancing.” Long Hao felt resentful as he looked at the heaven and earth laws descending from the sky. He turned around and returned to the main hall with a huff.

“Your Majesty, it’s as I expected!” the second elder said with a face full of realization.

“Do you have anything else to say, Seventh Elder?” Long Hao asked furiously.

“I…” The tough and stubborn seventh elder stammered a little in the face of reality.

“Your Majesty, if there is anyone in the Dragon clan who wants to acknowledge humans as their masters, let them go!” the first elder said. He didn’t want to see the emperor vent all his anger on the elders.

“Second Elder, I’ll leave this matter to you,” Long Hao ordered the second elder directly. He was waiting for the first elder to say this!

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I will definitely settle this matter,” the second elder hurriedly said. This was a good task! He wondered what else that little girl had? He also wanted to exchange some stuff.

…

The Phoenix clan’s territory.

The members of the Phoenix clan who had just become divine beasts crowded around Leng Ruoxue with gratitude on their faces.

“Big Sister, Inflame also wants to become a divine beast.” Inflame flew around Leng Ruoxue and kept shouting.

“Inflame, you’re not an adult yet.” Leng Ruoxue caressed Inflame’s little head to calm him.

“When will I become an adult? Boohoo…”

“Inflame, don’t make a fuss,” Feng Zhan gently reprimanded and grabbed the noisy little fellow into his embrace.

“Feng Zhan, I’m going back.” Leng Ruoxue smiled at Feng Zhan.

With that, she walked toward her residence. She had just gained so many benefits, so she had to go back and consolidate them.

Leng Ruoxue returned to the wooden house, entered her room, and went directly into the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.

“Xue’er, the scene just now was really spectacular,” Leng Qingtian couldn’t help saying when he saw his precious granddaughter.

“Yes, now that all those members of the Phoenix clan have advanced to divine beast, let’s leave this place after the dragons of the Dragon clan come, Grandpa!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
