Chapter 2279 The Dragon Emperor Emerges from Seclusion

The elegant residence is located in a side hall, inside a secret room.

For many years, the progenitor of the dragon race has been in seclusion here to recover, barely surviving on a wisp of his remnant soul.

Of course, without the help of Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo, the Dragon Emperor would have had no chance of escaping death. He owes them a debt of gratitude he can probably never repay in this lifetime.

The Dragon Emperor wasn't too bothered by the burden of debt; he figured he could simply sell himself to Chen Qingyuan and his wife, serving them and doing whatever he could.

Whoosh—sizzle—

Above the secret chamber, which was covered with restrictive runes, a vortex swirled up, causing all the clouds and mist in the area to drift away. The thick fog surged and swirled like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, while soft, pale light sprayed out in all directions, creating a spectacular scene.

Ow—

The faint roar of a dragon echoed between heaven and earth.

The phenomenon was magnificent, its spread encompassing the main city of Qingzong and extending into the wider starry sky.

"What's going on? Could it be that one of the elders has achieved great success in cultivation, thus attracting this strange phenomenon?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This extraordinary phenomenon contains a trace of imperial power!"

"Go find out why!"

Such extraordinary celestial phenomena caused a sensation throughout the Qingzong sect.

The sect's higher-ups immediately went to investigate the source of the anomaly, fearing that some unknown situation had occurred that might threaten the sect's stability.

Before long, a guest elder brought very accurate information: "This strange phenomenon comes from His Majesty's secret blessed land!"

slam-la-

Upon hearing the news, everyone looked surprised, their eyes no longer filled with doubt, and they no longer considered the safety issue.

Since we've gotten involved with His Excellency, there's definitely nothing wrong with us. Everything's fine, so there's no need to worry.

Some elders immediately stepped forward to appease the disciples, both inside and outside the sect, to prevent rumors from spreading and causing unnecessary disturbances.

"That's enough, don't make too much noise, it's really disruptive."

Standing on the cliff edge, Chen Qingyuan turned around and looked at the secret chamber that was constantly emanating imperial aura. He spoke calmly, sending a telepathic reminder.

The escalating dragon's might suddenly ceased, then stopped spreading and dissipated at an extremely rapid pace.

In just over ten breaths, the strange phenomena of the rules receded like the tide, leaving the area calm and undisturbed.

With the creditors having spoken, how could the Dragon Emperor dare disobey?

After suppressing my emotions for so many years, I finally regained some of my abilities and was looking forward to venting them, but I was forced to stop.

Moments later, the barrier surrounding the secret chamber crumbled inch by inch.

Bang!

A heavy stone door opened with a thud.

Thump!

Steady footsteps emerged from the secret room.

The Dragon Emperor raised his hand, parted a few clouds, and slowly appeared!

He was tall and straight, wearing a luxurious light purple brocade robe, with a round face and dignified eyes.

His name is Rong Che.

Of all these imperial corpses, only the Dragon Emperor retained a trace of his original soul. While luck played a part, his strength cannot be denied.

Rong Che reconstructed his physical body, giving him the appearance of a middle-aged man.

His expression was originally serious, exuding an imposing aura even without anger.

However, when he saw the two major creditors right in front of him, he immediately lost his temper, forced a slightly obsequious smile, and greeted them with clasped hands: "Fellow Daoists."

"Congratulations on the successful reconstruction of your physical body."

Chen Qingyuan glanced at Rong Che a few times before offering his congratulations.

"Thanks to the help of the two fellow Daoists, otherwise I would not have had this opportunity."

Rong Che sincerely thanked him.

Chen Qingyuan asked, "Are you preparing to go to the Dragon Clan?"

Rong Che shook his head and decisively replied, "I don't have that idea."

"Then what do you think?"

Chen Qingyuan asked.

“I have decided to stay in the Azure Sect, if Fellow Daoist Chen is willing.”

After careful consideration, Rong Che made this decision.

One reason is the debt of gratitude owed to others, and another is that Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo possess a transcendent status and power in this era.

"Oh?" Chen Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Rong Che with an aggressive gaze. After a few breaths, he understood the reason for Rong Che's choice and solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist is an Emperor of a lifetime. If you can become a part of the Qing Sect, it will naturally be a blessing for the Qing Sect."

Whether Rong Che's statement about staying at the Qing Sect implied something else is unknown.

Chen Qingyuan brought the topic to the forefront, demanding a clear answer from the other party.

To become part of the Azure Sect, the meaning is clear.

Originally, Rong Che had been somewhat inclined to observe the situation, but faced with Chen Qingyuan's aggressive words, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated slightly.

In the blink of an eye, Rong Che had figured it out. With a smile on his lips, he answered earnestly, "It would be wonderful to form a connection with the Qing Sect and even become a member of it."

Chen Qingyuan prefers dealing with intelligent people, as it saves him a lot of talking.

"Alright, I'll arrange a suitable position for you. You won't have to do any work; just hold the title. If you're in a good mood one day, you can make some contributions by giving lectures and sharing your knowledge."

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Qingyuan decided to finalize the matter to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from causing the old dragon to escape.

Therefore, we will postpone our trip to the Immortal Bone Forbidden Zone for a few days.

"Stay here and don't move."

Chen Qingyuan said to Rong Che.

Although Rong Che looked slightly puzzled, he obediently nodded and said, "Oh."

He knew all too well how monstrous Chen Qingyuan was; even at his peak, he wouldn't be a match for him, let alone in his current state. Therefore, it was best to play it safe, otherwise he risked getting beaten up.

"Xi Ruo, I need to go find my senior brother."

Chen Qingyuan turned to look at An Xiruo, his attitude changed noticeably, his eyes softened, and he smiled and spoke softly.

An Xiruo nodded: "Mm."

Whoosh!

Immediately, Chen Qingyuan took a light step into the void beside him, merging into the void and heading towards the Wonderful Treasure Land where Sect Master Lin Changsheng resided.

"Fellow Daoist An, let's sit down and have a cup of tea!"

Rong Che set up a private seat, and with a light tap of his finger, poured tea from a distance.

After taking her seat, An Xiruo got straight to the point: "Do you want me to tell you about the changes in the situation over the years?"

Rong Che smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

"Since I've got nothing else to do, let's chat!"

Considering that Rong Che is about to become a member of the Qing Sect, An Xiruo naturally has to give him face.

Rong Che said gratefully, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Qingzong, Yangxinju.

The palace had collapsed once, but it was rebuilt and is now much more sturdy and exquisite.

The elegant hall was surrounded by clouds and mist, with occasional cranes and birds flying through the sea of ​​mist, emitting a few melodious and clear sounds.

Chen Qingyuan strode into Yangxin Residence and came directly to Lin Changsheng: "Senior Brother."

In a corner of the hall, Lin Changsheng was resting with his eyes closed.

Lin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, met Chen Qingyuan's gaze, and asked, "What is it?"

From Chen Qingyuan's demeanor, one could tell that he wasn't just strolling around, but had come with business.

Chen Qingyuan sat down opposite Lin Changsheng and went straight to the point: "The sect's guest elder system needs to be changed."

"why?"

Lin Changsheng was puzzled.
