Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 993 Identity Exposed

"This……"

Jing Yuwan never expected that the Dragon Palace would have a register similar to a household registration book, which could record all the true dragons in the world who possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon!

Wait, what exactly is the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline?

He took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. There are quite a few pure-blooded true dragons in the world, and some are occasionally lost. To say that the Dragon Palace can collect them all would be an exaggeration."

Bai Zhaoyue sneered, "You really are showing your ignorance. It's true that pure-blooded true dragons aren't rare in the Dragon Palace, and some are occasionally lost outside. But true dragons with the [Ancestral Dragon Bloodline] are a different story!"

"The bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon cannot be inherited through natural conception or childbirth. It can only be bestowed by the Ancestral Ancestor or transplanted by taking some essence blood from the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pool."

“Thousands of years ago, nearly half of the blood of the Ancestral Dragon in the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pool disappeared overnight. This event caused a huge uproar in my Dragon Palace. For a time, countless suspected true dragons were captured and killed, but we still could not recover this part of the Ancestral Dragon blood. It was as if this blood of the Ancestral Dragon had disappeared into thin air.”

"At the time... I suspected that it was likely an inside job by the higher-ups of the Dragon Palace, and now that I've met you, it has indeed confirmed my suspicions."

“That blood of the Ancestral Dragon was actually used on you.”

Bai Zhaoyue roared, "Speak! Who exactly is behind you? Which Golden Immortal of the Dragon Clan betrayed the Dragon Palace and acted like a traitor?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly remembered that when he had completely refined the [Dragon Bone Relic], he seemed to have been watched by the [True Dragon Ancestor]. Coupled with the various signs that his body had transformed into a true dragon back then, a conjecture slowly took shape in his mind.

"Could it be that the [True Dragon Ancestor] didn't consult with the younger generation of the Dragon Palace and directly misappropriated the blood of the Ancestral Dragon from the [Ancestral Dragon Blood Pool] to modify my physical body?"

The more Jing Yu thought about it, the more reasonable his guess seemed. He explained, "Fellow Daoist Bai... I really am a dragon. The [Ancestral Dragon Bloodline] you mentioned may have been obtained when I refined the [Dragon Bone Relic]..."

"You brat! Don't go too far!"

Bai Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I don't know what a [Dragon Bone Relic] is? Refining a [Dragon Bone Relic] will at most give you a trace of true dragon blood. Even for a mixed-blood dragon, it's not certain that you can purify your bloodline to pure blood with just one Dragon Bone Relic. And now you're telling me that you obtained the [Ancestral Dragon Bloodline] by casually refining a Dragon Bone Relic?"

"You're kidding me!"

Jing Yu looked helpless: "What do you want me to do to make you believe me?"

Bai Zhaoyue sneered: "Bai Yuan, is it? Since you also have the surname Bai, it seems you are also of the Bai Dragon lineage. Then show me your dragon form?"

Jing Yu's expression froze slightly. It was true that the Bitter Crossing Body could simulate the bloodlines of the world, but it could not completely change the form of life. Could he really turn him into a real dragon? He truly did not have that ability!

"Sigh, if I had the [Hundred Faces, Thousand Appearances] with me, maybe I could have given it a try..."

Seeing Jing Yu remain silent, Bai Zhaoyue stopped wasting words and immediately stepped forward, sweeping her dragon tail: "Watch me capture you and take you back to the Dragon Palace to be slowly tortured. I'm not afraid you won't confess!"

In the blink of an eye, Bai Zhaoyue was already close at hand. The dragon's tail swept across with a piercing shriek. Jing Yu dared not be careless. He retreated quickly, raised his arms, and used his flesh and blood to withstand this fierce attack.

"Oh!"

The muffled sound was like the beating of a giant drum. Jing Yu's figure swayed, and Bai Zhaoyue pressed her advantage without letting up. Her attacks were like a storm, each move aimed at vital points. Amidst the surging wind, she displayed the superb martial arts skills passed down from the Dragon Palace.

The two figures rapidly intersected in the vast outer hall of the pot, leaving behind afterimages, and the sounds of their clashing energies were incessant.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed. Jing Yu was mostly on the defensive and not on the offensive. Although he was not at a disadvantage, he clearly still had to pay attention to Yuan Jiqing, who was watching him closely from the side. He was inevitably a little hesitant to play freely.

In the gap between what seemed like an ordinary block and counterattack, a glint of light flashed in Bai Zhaoyue's narrow eyes.

It seemed to be throwing a full-force punch at Jing Yu's face, forcing Jing Yu to raise his arm to meet it, but its real killing move was brewing silently - the pure white dragon tail that had always been swimming like a serpent on the side suddenly lifted up from below at an incredible angle, the tip of the tail as sharp as a jade dagger, slicing through a cold light!

A warning bell rang in Jing Yu's heart. He desperately tried to dodge, but the force of his parry had not yet dissipated, and the old force had been exhausted while the new force had not yet been generated. In the end, he was a fraction too slow.

"laugh--"

With a soft sound, a wound about an inch long was cut open on Jing Yu's cheek. It wasn't deep, but a drop of golden-red blood seeped out. It was then swept away by the subtle airflow brought up by the dragon's tail and flew precisely towards Bai Zhaoyue.

Bai Zhaoyue had been waiting for a long time. With a flick of her hand, the drop of blood fell into her palm.

Without hesitation, she put it in her mouth, pressed her tongue against her palate, and instantly activated the secret bloodline identification technique of the dragon race—this method can not only identify the purity of the dragon bloodline, but also trace back to the source and explore the most fundamental origin of the bloodline!

The next instant, Bai Zhaoyue's delicate body trembled violently, and she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief and anger.

"Human Race!"

She shouted sharply, her voice echoing throughout the outer hall: "How can there be a human scent in this drop of your blood? Who exactly are you? How dare you impersonate a dragon descendant and even transplant the [Ancestral Dragon Bloodline] into your body?"

These words were like a thunderclap. Yuan Jiqing, who had been watching intently from the sidelines, secretly plotting how to reap the benefits, froze his playful and cautious expression instantly, and then turned into a raging inferno!

"Humans?!"

Yuan Jiqing's physical body trembled slightly with rage, its three-zhang-tall form radiating a chilling aura of ferocity. Its eyes were bloodshot as it stared intently at Jing Yu: "You, you're a human? Damn it, that little wench came once a thousand years ago, and now you're back again a thousand years later?"

The deep-seated contempt and hostility towards humanity exploded in Yuan Jiqing's heart at this moment.

Without further hesitation, it raised its head and let out a roar that shook the void:

"You damned women! Let's kill this human spy together first! We'll settle the rest of the score later!"

Boom!

Yuan Jiqing stomped on the ground, like a silver meteor crashing into the battle. His giant fist, carrying the power to shatter mountains and split the earth, joined forces with Bai Zhaoyue's fierce dragon tail, which attacked from the left and right, to form a deadly attack, fiercely striking at Jing Yu, whose expression had suddenly changed!

In the outer hall of the pot, the situation instantly changed from a struggle between two demons to two enraged demon lord disciples joining forces to kill Jing Yu!

Jing Yu was also inwardly groaning. If it were with the blessing of his bloodline and the "safety net" bonus of the [Bitter Crossing Treasure Body], his basic physique could even slightly break through the Great Ascension Perfection realm. In a one-on-one fight, he would not be afraid of either Bai Zhaoyue or Yuan Jiqing.
