Seeing this scene, Chu Feng was deeply surprised.
Though he didn’t know Long Daozhi’s exact identity or what the “Dragon Clan” signified, he could guess that the two words “Dragon Clan” carried immense weight. Otherwise, even the Purple Star Hall Master wouldn’t have been scared enough to kneel.
Thud—
Suddenly, another person knelt.
It was Lei Tong.
This Supreme Elder of the Seven Stars Alliance had voluntarily knelt.
“So, you are a member of the Dragon Clan, my lord.”
“I was wrong, I was blind. Please spare my life, my lord.”
Lei Tong, who had just been threatening Long Daozhi, was now so terrified that tears streamed down his face.
“Get up, get up, why are you kneeling?”
Long Daozhi ignored Lei Tong, waving his sleeve to forcibly lift the Chu Heavenly Clan members to their feet with his power.
After raising them, he turned his gaze to the others present, “Everyone except those from Purple Star Hall and the Seven Stars Alliance, stand up.”
However, after Long Daozhi spoke, the crowd hesitated.
They instinctively looked at the Purple Star Hall Master and Lei Tong.
They feared these two.
After all, both were kneeling, so standing up didn’t seem wise.
“Can’t you hear me telling you to stand?”
Long Daozhi’s voice rang out again, filled with displeasure.
“Thank you, my lord.”
Seeing Long Daozhi’s irritation, the crowd dared not hesitate and quickly stood.
Compared to the Purple Star Hall Master and Lei Tong, they now feared Long Daozhi more.
Though they knew he had no intention of troubling them, they were still tense, not daring to speak a word.
When Lei Tong appeared, he had caused a stir.
Though people felt awe, they still dared to talk.
It was through their discussions that Chu Feng learned Lei Tong’s identity.
But since Long Daozhi revealed his token, these people were so frightened they didn’t dare speak or even breathe loudly.
This made Chu Feng increasingly feel that Long Daozhi’s identity was extraordinary.
“Purple Star Hall Master, Seven Stars Alliance Elder.”
“Are you still unconvinced?”
Long Daozhi asked sternly.
“My lord, I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”
“It was my ignorance of your identity earlier. Please don’t hold it against me, Lord Dragon, please.”
Both the Purple Star Hall Master and Lei Tong repeatedly admitted their fault.
“Then tell me, is there anything wrong with me taking Purple Star Hall’s guarded martial skill?” Long Daozhi asked again.
“Nothing wrong, nothing wrong.”
“My lord, I was foolish before. I’ll punish myself, I’ll punish myself now.”
As he spoke, Lei Tong began slapping himself in front of everyone, not lightly but with such force that his face deformed.
“That’s better. Since you have no objections, keep kneeling.”
“Listen well, all of Purple Star Hall and this Seven Stars Alliance Elder, kneel until nightfall. No one rises before then.”
Long Daozhi declared sternly.
“As you command.”
Purple Star Hall’s members and Lei Tong complied in unison.
Seeing this, Long Daozhi sneered, then left with Chu Feng and the others.
After Long Daozhi departed, neither Lei Tong nor Purple Star Hall’s members dared to stand.
The others’ faces were filled with lingering fear.
They were all terrified by Long Daozhi’s identity.
That identity frightened them more than Chu Feng’s talent.
At this moment, even the Red-Clothed Sacred Land’s leader, Han Xiu, sighed thoughtfully, “Now I understand why Lady Zhao Hong told me to build ties with the Chu Heavenly Clan. I never imagined they had such a figure backing them.”
…
Long Daozhi took the Chu Heavenly Clan members away.
He ordered his Ancestral Martial Dragon City experts to escort them back to the Great Thousand Upper Realm.
But he kept Chu Feng behind.
Long Daozhi said he had something to discuss with Chu Feng.
Now, Chu Feng was alone in the hall of the moving war chariot.
He now understood why Lei Tong was so terrified after seeing the words “Dragon Clan.”
The Dragon Clan was an immensely powerful force within the Holy Light Galaxy.
It was well-known that the Holy Light Galaxy had ninety-six star regions, with only six Upper Star Regions.
The overlords of these six Upper Star Regions represented the strongest six forces in the Holy Light Galaxy.
The Dragon Clan was the overlord of the Totem Star Region, one of those six.
Such a mighty force had countless Supreme Realm experts and multiple Martial Venerable Realm powerhouses.
No wonder Lei Tong was so frightened.
The Seven Stars Alliance was a bottom-tier force even among Middle Star Regions.
Naturally, he dared not provoke a colossus like the Dragon Clan.
The bloodline power released by Long Daozhi’s token was unique to the Dragon Clan.
This bloodline power couldn’t be faked by barrier techniques.
It was the most definitive proof of a Dragon Clan member’s identity.
That’s why, when Long Daozhi showed the token, no one dared to doubt him, and all believed.
Creak—
The sealed hall door suddenly opened, and a figure walked in.
It was Long Daozhi.
“Friend Chu Feng, sorry to keep you waiting,” Long Daozhi said apologetically.
“Senior, how can you say that? You just saved my clan’s life. Waiting a moment is nothing,” Chu Feng replied, quickly standing with respect.
Chu Feng had always had a good impression of Long Daozhi.
Counting this time, Long Daozhi had saved the Chu Heavenly Clan twice.
Calling him their saviour was no exaggeration.
“Actually, I was just giving some orders to my subordinates.”
“Those orders concern your Chu Heavenly Clan,” Long Daozhi said.
“What orders, Senior?” Chu Feng asked.
“Chu Feng, you saw those two subordinates of mine. What did you think of their strength?”
Long Daozhi didn’t answer directly but asked Chu Feng instead.
Long Daozhi had brought many subordinates, but two stood out.
They were two old men, silent but with powerful auras, clearly not ordinary.
“If I’m not mistaken, both seniors are Fifth Rank Supreme, an incredibly strong cultivation,” Chu Feng said.
“Friend Chu Feng, you have a keen eye, worthy of a Saint-Cloak World Spiritist who has mastered the Dragon Transformation Sensation.”
“In my Ancestral Martial Dragon City, aside from me, there are three strongest individuals.”
“They are my confidants, all at Fifth Rank Supreme, the city’s greatest combat strength.”
“I’ve just ordered ten thousand elite troops from Ancestral Martial Dragon City to garrison your Chu Heavenly Clan, led by those two,” Long Daozhi said.
“Senior, you…”
Chu Feng was stunned.
He understood Long Daozhi’s intent.
Long Daozhi was openly using Ancestral Martial Dragon City’s forces to protect the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Ten thousand elite troops were one thing, but Long Daozhi had said he had three confidants.
Now, he was sending two to protect the Chu Heavenly Clan.
This implied that only one confidant remained to guard Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
Such treatment left Chu Feng overwhelmed, unsure how to respond.
“Senior, I know you’re doing this for my clan’s good.”
“But there’s really no need for this,” Chu Feng said, declining Long Daozhi’s kindness.
It wasn’t that he didn’t appreciate it, but he truly felt he couldn’t accept such a favour.
Long Daozhi didn’t owe the Chu Heavenly Clan; rather, they owed him.
“Friend Chu Feng, I know your greatest concern is your family in the Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“From now on, you needn’t worry.”
“You can venture into the Holy Light Galaxy without fear. I guarantee no one will dare touch your Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“Additionally, I’ve prepared cultivation resources beneficial to those with Heavenly Bloodlines.”
“Those resources can significantly boost bloodline power.”
“Though, with your talent, they may not help you much, they should benefit your clansmen.”
“With those resources, your clan’s overall strength should improve.”
“Before coming here, I sent people to deliver those resources to your Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“They should have arrived by now, ready for your clan leader and others to use upon their return,” Long Daozhi continued.
“Senior, I’m truly at a loss for how to repay you.”
Chu Feng was deeply grateful.
Long Daozhi’s actions were extraordinarily kind to the Chu Heavenly Clan.
“Friend Chu Feng, you don’t need to thank me. I’m doing this with a purpose.”
“The help I’m giving your Chu Heavenly Clan is merely compensation.”
“Because I have a favour to ask of you,” Long Daozhi said.
“A favour from me?”
“Senior, you’re my clan’s saviour.”
“I owe you a debt. If there’s anything I can do, just say it. There’s no need for this,” Chu Feng said.
“Well, one thing at a time.”
Long Daozhi waved his hand with a smile, but when he looked at Chu Feng again, his expression turned serious.
“Chu Feng, the favour I need is no small matter and may even involve life-threatening danger.”
“Don’t agree hastily. Hear me out first, then decide.”
“I’ll state upfront, even if you refuse, I won’t blame you.”
