Chapter 168: You're Not Worthy
The muscular man and the other Dragon King's Guards trembled slightly. After so many years, their Dragon Emperor, whom the Eastern Dragon Island had yearned for, had finally returned.
They hadn't been waiting in vain all these years!
Their Dragon Emperor had finally returned.
After so many years, he had finally come back!
The backbone of their Ancient Void Dragon Clan had returned!
After receiving Hun Tiandi's instructions, the muscular man and the other Dragon Kings stood up. The muscular man respectfully said, "Thank you, Dragon Emperor!"
Hun Tiandi explained, "I am not your Dragon Emperor!"
He, the Dragon Emperor?
No, he wasn't!
He only held the token that represented the Dragon Emperor's identity!
"Hmm?"
Originally filled with excitement, the muscular man and the other Dragon King's Guards were taken aback when they heard Hun Tiandi's words, and they looked at him in confusion.
They had thought that their Dragon Emperor had returned, but it seemed that it wasn't the case at all.
He denied it.
The muscular man asked in confusion, "Then who are you?"
He denied being the Dragon Emperor. So what was his identity? He could possess the Dragon Emperor's token and appear among the Ancient Void Dragon Clan!
Even if he wasn't the Dragon Emperor, he must have some connection to the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor's token had always been an important possession of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's Dragon Emperor!
It wouldn't be easily shown to outsiders. The fact that he held the Dragon Emperor's token was enough to indicate his identity.
"Soul Clan's Hun Xiu!"
"A member of the Soul Clan?"
When the muscular man heard this, he looked at Hun Tiandi. Naturally, he had heard of the Soul Clan. Although the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's gate had been sealed for many years, it didn't mean they were ignorant of the current situation in the Dou Qi continent.
The Ancient Void Dragon Clan still had many sources of information on the continent. So the muscular man naturally knew about the Soul Clan.
One of the Eight Ancient Clans!
One of the few remaining ancient clans on the Dou Qi continent.
The muscular man asked, "Since you are a member of the Soul Clan, why is the Dragon Emperor's token in your hands?"
"Do you know the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor?"
If the Dragon Emperor's token appeared in someone else's hands, it could only mean that this person must know where their Dragon Emperor was!
Hun Tiandi replied, "This Dragon Emperor's token was given to me by your Dragon Emperor. I do know the whereabouts of your Dragon Emperor, but it's not the time to tell you yet!"
The muscular man couldn't help but feel joy after hearing Hun Tiandi's earlier words, but when he heard Hun Tiandi's later words, he furrowed his brow.
He knew the whereabouts of their Dragon Emperor but refused to say!
Damn it...
It felt like he was about to say something, but didn't say it completely!
Hun Tiandi ignored the thoughts in the muscular man's mind and said, "Lead me to meet the person in charge of your Eastern Dragon Island."
"I came to Ancient Dragon Island upon the request of your Ancient Void Dragon Clan's Dragon Emperor, Zhu Kun, to clean up the mess."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, the muscular man didn't have time to think about anything else. He slightly bowed to Hun Tiandi and respectfully said, "Please, sir, come inside!"
He immediately sent someone to inform the elders that the visitor was here to clean up the mess on the orders of their Dragon Emperor.
The muscular man had no doubt.
The fact that the stranger held the Dragon Emperor's token explained everything. The Dragon Emperor's token represented the person's identity!
Anyone entrusted with the Dragon Emperor's token by their Dragon Emperor was obviously someone worthy of trust and a friend of their Ancient Void Dragon Clan!
...
The sound of the dragon's roar from Eastern Dragon Island was faintly heard by the other three Dragon Islands.
The Western Dragon King's expression turned solemn as he arrived at the peak of Western Dragon Island and looked towards the direction of Eastern Dragon Island. He murmured, "This dragon's roar... The long-lost Dragon Emperor's token has appeared again. Has he returned?"
With his hands behind his back, the Western Dragon King wore a solemn expression, and the powerful individuals behind him also showed signs of seriousness.
The sound of the dragon's roar coming from Eastern Dragon Island carried the suppression of their bloodline, indicating that the long-lost Dragon Emperor might have returned.
They all felt anxious. After all, they were now considered traitors! Now that the Dragon Emperor had returned, they were naturally worried.
They feared that upon the Dragon Emperor's return, they would all perish under the Dragon-Slaying Sword!
...
Such a solemn scene also unfolded on Western Dragon Island, Southern Dragon Island, and Northern Dragon Island!
They all wore solemn expressions and were extremely nervous.
In the end!
The three Dragon Kings didn't discuss it further and made the same decision—to go to Eastern Dragon Island to find out what was happening!
Had the Dragon Emperor truly returned?
Regardless of the final result, they had to go and see. Now that the Dragon Emperor had truly returned, they couldn't escape. They could only admit their guilt and seek leniency!
The three Dragon Islands became bustling with activity as each Dragon King led their people towards Eastern Dragon Island!
A grand procession!
...
Eastern Dragon Island-
Inside the Dragon Emperor's Palace!
Hun Tiandi's arrival caused the entire Eastern Dragon Island to boil with excitement. The elders who had been in seclusion also emerged and gathered inside the Dragon Emperor's Palace.
Because... there was news about their Dragon Emperor.
The chief elder of Eastern Dragon Island looked excitedly at Hun Tiandi and said, "Sir, we want to know if our Dragon Emperor is still alive."
This was the question that everyone on Eastern Dragon Island wanted an answer to. Was their Dragon Emperor still alive?
Hun Tiandi replied, "He is doing well!"
Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, the elders in the hall trembled slightly, and some even shed tears.
After so many years...
They finally received news about their Dragon Emperor.
Since the Dragon Emperor left Ancient Dragon Island for an important matter and never returned, not even a single piece of information had reached them.
It was precisely because there was no news about the Dragon Emperor that the three Dragon Kings became ambitious and divided the entire Ancient Dragon Island into four!
...
At this moment, tears streamed down the face of the chief elder of Eastern Dragon Island. He was overwhelmed with excitement and asked, " Mr. Hun, if the Dragon Emperor is still alive, why hasn't he returned?"
This was something that the chief elder of Eastern Dragon Island couldn't understand, and he wasn't the only one. The strong individuals of Eastern Dragon Island and the entire Ancient Void Dragon Clan on Ancient Dragon Island were also puzzled.
If their Dragon Emperor was still alive, why hadn't he returned?
Was the outside world truly so wonderful?
Or did he forget the way home?
Hun Tiandi replied, "Zhu Kun isn't unwilling to come back. It's just that he's currently unable to return. But he will return someday."
Zhu Kun was trapped in the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave. How could he come back? If Zhu Kun could truly leave, he wouldn't have stayed in the Ancient Emperor's Cave all this time!
...
The chief elder of Eastern Dragon Island respectfully asked, "Mr. Hun, can you inform us of the whereabouts of our Dragon Emperor?"
Hun Tiandi shook his head and said, "I cannot."
"That place is not something you can know, nor is it a place you can go. You're not worthy!"
