Chapter 1018: Chapter 1118: Star Dragon Sect
"Master, where shall we go first?" Godslayer King asked Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and replied, "Let’s head to Heavenly Master Continent first."
Initially, his intention was to locate the Origin Divine Tree after arriving in the Chaos Domain. However, Master Ding mentioned that his Origin Divine Body had to break through twenty layers before he could hope to refine and assimilate the Origin Divine Tree. Thus, Yang Xiaotian decided to visit Heavenly Master Continent first.
The Divine Realm Dragon Ancestor had left behind the sect and treasures in Heavenly Master Continent, so Yang Xiaotian planned to first take a look there.
"And what about Ms. Meng?" Yang Xiaotian asked Meng Bingxue.
"With my Lord wherever you go, there I will follow," Meng Bingxue said with a smile.
"Good, then let’s all go to Heavenly Master Continent together!" Yang Xiaotian declared with a laugh and then he steered the Hanhai Boat toward Heavenly Master Continent.
Heavenly Master Continent, located in the southeastern part of the Chaos Domain, was soon pinpointed by Yang Xiaotian and his companions after a brief inquiry.
The Chaos Domain was even more boundless than the Divine Domain, but fortunately, the spatial passage entrance was not far from Heavenly Master Continent. With the speed of the Hanhai Boat, it should take about a month to arrive.
Upon arriving at Heavenly Master Continent, it was early morning. The sunlight was soft, casting a gentle illumination over the land.
From afar, Heavenly Master Continent was enveloped in a golden hue, brimming with vitality.
Yang Xiaotian stowed the flying ship, and then he, along with Meng Bingxue and the others, soared into Heavenly Master Continent and flew toward Dragon Kingdom.
There is Sword Nation in Demon Ancestor Continent, an undeniable colossus, but now Dragon Kingdom is just an unremarkable Empire within Heavenly Master Continent.
The sect and treasures left by the Divine Realm Dragon Ancestor Ao Xu were in Dragon Kingdom.
"Dragon Kingdom," Yang Xiaotian murmured.
After several days of travel, Yang Xiaotian and his companions finally arrived at Dragon Kingdom.
Dragon Kingdom, which had once been renowned in the Chaos Domain, had, after millions of years, deteriorated significantly.
As Yang Xiaotian passed through some cities of Dragon Kingdom, he saw scarcely populated streets and hardly any large corporations on either side.
Furthermore, luxurious vehicles were no longer seen on the streets.
Although they had learned about the current state of Dragon Kingdom before arriving, the sight of its decline still somewhat moved Yang Xiaotian.
In the past, Dragon Kingdom, through Dragon Ancestor Ao Xu, had been prominent in the Chaos Domain and was the premier Empire in Heavenly Master Continent, but now it had deteriorated to such a state.
If it continued to decline, it might not even merit the title of Empire.
If it couldn’t be called an Empire and reduced to a mere kingdom, it would be an utter disgrace.
If Dragon Ancestor Ao Xu knew about the current state of Dragon Kingdom, he would most likely be profoundly disillusioned.
After Ao Xu’s demise, the Divine Realm Ancestral Dragon Continent still had many Dragon Ancestors supporting it, preventing total downfall, but Dragon Kingdom had no such support.
"The Sect Master of Star Dragon Sect overestimated himself, daring to accept the challenge from the Heavenly Demon Sect Master! Now he’s been beheaded, and they didn’t even leave his body intact!"
"Now that Star Dragon Sect is without a Sect Master, there could be internal strife. Which Elder do you think will become the next Sect Master of Star Dragon Sect?"
"It should be Hu Zonglai. Of all the Elders in Star Dragon Sect, Hu Zonglai is the most powerful, and he is also the Great Elder."
"However, although Hu Zonglai is strong, he is extremely lascivious. If he takes over Star Dragon Sect, there’s no hope for the sect, and it might not even rank as a third-rate sect anymore."
While passing through a certain city, Yang Xiaotian overhead a group of sect experts discussing the matters of Star Dragon Sect and he was taken aback.
The sect founded by Ao Xu was none other than Star Dragon Sect.
Ao Xu was the Ancestor of the Star Dragon Sect.
The Star Dragon Sect had once been the most powerful Sect in the Dragon Kingdom, having governed the Dragon Kingdom.
However, as Ao Xu fell, the Star Dragon Sect declined, and the rulers of the Dragon Kingdom changed hands several times; it was now controlled by the Liang Family Ancestor of the Dragon Kingdom.
Hearing that group of Sect experts discussing the matters of the Star Dragon Sect, Yang Xiaotian stepped forward, offered some Divine Spirit Stones to them, and inquired about the Star Dragon Sect.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian hand out hundreds of Divine Spirit Stones all at once, they were quite astonished.
After accepting the Divine Spirit Stones, they chatted incessantly to Yang Xiaotian about the matters of the Star Dragon Sect.
However, as they introduced the Star Dragon Sect to Yang Xiaotian, their gazes involuntarily drifted toward Meng Bingxue.
After drifting once, they glanced a second time, and a third time.
They couldn’t help but grow increasingly amazed.
After the introductions, a Sect expert said, "May I know what relation the young master has with the Star Dragon Sect? Are you planning to visit the Star Dragon Sect? The Star Dragon Sect will eventually decline, if you have any relations with the Star Dragon Sect, it’s best to sever them."
"To avoid inviting disaster."
Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, "Alright, I understand, thank you for the advice." Then he and Meng Bingxue, along with a few others from the Godslayer King group, departed.
After Yang Xiaotian and his group had left, they still couldn’t bring themselves to shift their gazes away.
"This lady, I don’t know who she is, but she looks even more beautiful than our Dragon Kingdom’s Empress!"
"Not just compared to our Dragon Kingdom’s Empress, she is far more beautiful than the Goddess Li Xuan from the Heavenly Master Sect!"
The Heavenly Master Sect, the number one Sect on the Heavenly Master Continent, and its Goddess Li Xuan is recognized as the top beauty of the Heavenly Master Continent.
"If such a beautiful lady goes to the Star Dragon Sect, and the Great Elder Hu Zonglai of the Star Dragon Sect sees her, I’m afraid she’ll be devastated by Hu Zonglai!" one person expressed his concern anxiously.
"We should worry about ourselves first, whether we can join the Liang Family of the Dragon Kingdom and become affiliated guests."
Recently, the Imperial Family, the Liang Family of the Dragon Kingdom, was recruiting experts. Many people came to the Dragon Kingdom to attend the Liang Family’s evaluations, hoping to become affiliated guests of the Liang Family.
Now that the Liang Family controlled the Dragon Kingdom, becoming an affiliated guest naturally meant receiving high treatment.
While Yang Xiaotian and Meng Bingxue were heading toward the Star Dragon Sect, Hu Zonglai and a group of Star Dragon Sect Elders were gathered in the Grand Hall of Star Dragon Sect, discussing the matter of appointing the next Sect Master.
"Our Sect Master has fallen, the Star Dragon Sect cannot be without a leader for a single day. I propose that Wang Qian, the niece of our Sect Master, take charge of our Star Dragon Sect," suggested Sect Elder Deng Fang.
Wang Qian he mentioned was indeed the daughter of the previous Sect Master of the Star Dragon Sect. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Hu Zonglai chuckled upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over Wang Qian’s shapely chest as he sneered, "This girl, apart from her figure, has neither the strength nor the prestige. What qualifications does she have to rule over our Star Dragon Sect!"
"If we are to select a Sect Master, it naturally has to be someone with powerful strength!"
"I, Hu Zonglai, nominate myself to be the next Sect Master of the Star Dragon Sect; should anyone disagree, they can challenge me!"
Upon hearing Hu Zonglai’s words, Wang Qian’s face turned livid with anger.
"I also think Elder Hu is the most suitable candidate to be the next Sect Master of our Star Dragon Sect," another Elder spoke up in agreement.
Following that, a few more Elders spoke up in agreement.
Wang Qian angrily said, "I disagree! Anyone can be chosen, but not Hu Zonglai! If Hu Zonglai takes control over the Star Dragon Sect, our Sect will eventually be destroyed in his hands!"
Hu Zonglai laughed and said, "You disagree? Then I will make you agree!" With that, he suddenly reached out with a claw toward Wang Qian’s chest.
