Chapter 574: The Taste of Gunsmoke

Qin Jun, Xiao Li, Yang Jian, Jiutou Chong, Jiang Ziya, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Liu Ruo followed the Black Dragon King into the Dragon Palace hall. The Black Dragon King had already ordered that the dragons should not disturb the law boat. Even if he hadn't given the order, Qin Jun wasn't worried because there were Di Ting and Kuafu on the boat.

Upon entering the hall, Qin Jun held Xiao Li's hand and sat down at two crystal chairs, and the others did the same.

Sitting on the main seat, the Black Dragon King looked at Xiao Li's happy face and felt a pang of pain in his heart. His daughter was going to get married.

"First of all, Xiao Li is exceptionally talented and is the pride of the dragon clan of this generation. She has awakened the bloodline of the ancestral dragon and must cultivate diligently in the Dragon Palace without delay," the Black Dragon King said with great emphasis.

It was the first time he had met Qin Jun, and his impression of Qin Jun was not bad.

He was handsome, with talents even more extraordinary than Xiao Li's, and his power was terrifying. Where else could he find a son-in-law like this?

However, he was still somewhat unhappy. Marrying off his daughter felt like cutting off a piece of his flesh.

He doted on Xiao Li more than his own son and didn't want her to suffer in the future.

"If that's the case, I won't force it. There will be plenty of time for romance in the future," Qin Jun said with a smile, holding Xiao Li's hand. The two exchanged a glance full of love, which made Liu Ruo feel very unhappy.

The Black Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief. He could see that the people under Qin Jun's command were terrifying. Even if he wanted to stop them, he couldn't. Fortunately, Qin Jun was reasonable.

Qin Jun was sincere towards Xiao Li, but he wouldn't be so reasonable with others.

"What is the ancestral dragon bloodline?" Qin Jun turned to the Black Dragon King and asked.

The Black Dragon King hesitated, and Qin Jun snorted impatiently, "If you don't tell me, I'll ask your master, and then it will be embarrassing for you!"

"Alright..." The corners of the Black Dragon King's mouth twitched. He didn't doubt Qin Jun's identity because Iron Qingtian had personally vouched for him, and he had also heard the legends from thousands of years ago.

Perhaps Qin Jun was the descendant of that great figure.

"Iron Qingtian didn't say that Qin Jun was his master because it would be too shocking to hear," the Black Dragon King said.

"The ancestral dragon is the first dragon in the world, who created the dragon clan and is known as the ancestral dragon. It is the most powerful dragon. After countless ages, the number of dragons with the ancestral dragon bloodline has become increasingly rare. Xiao Li has awakened the ancestral dragon bloodline. When she completely transforms into the ancestral dragon bloodline, her cultivation will progress by leaps and bounds," the Black Dragon King said with fervor, as if he were speaking about a belief.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They hadn't expected that such a talented dragon would be hidden in the Southern Sea.

"In any world, the first dragon in the world is an extremely powerful existence," Jiang Ziya sighed.

There is also the ancestral dragon in Chinese mythology.

Qin Jun was thinking that Xiao Li was the princess of the legitimate dragon clan in mythology, perhaps because of this identity, she possessed the ancestral dragon bloodline. However, her ancestral dragon bloodline did not come from this world, but from the mythical world.

The ancestral dragons of the two worlds, who knows which one is more powerful.

"Can you help me contact your master next?" Qin Jun changed the subject and asked. The matter of the ancestral dragon was a core secret of the dragon clan. If he continued to ask, the Black Dragon King would definitely not continue.

Compared to the ancestral dragon, he was more interested in knowing about the Little White Dragon.

"Sure, but it will take some time because I don't know where my master is. I can only communicate through spells," the Black Dragon King nodded.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun agreed.

He turned to Tang Sanzang and instructed, "You and Jiang Ziya go to the Southern Region first and report the situation in the Southern Region to me."

"Yes!"

Tang Sanzang and Jiang Ziya had no objections.

Zhu Bajie shouted, "I want to go too."

"No! You have to stay with me!" Qin Jun refused decisively. He had offended so many forces now, such as the Temple, the Demon Ancestor, the Eastern Family, the Western Region Buddhist Sect, and so on. He needed sufficient manpower around him.

After receiving the order, Tang Sanzang and Jiang Ziya left directly, moving swiftly and decisively.

"I'll arrange accommodation for you!" The Black Dragon King stood up and said with a smile. Since they were all family, past grievances were wiped clean.

"Thank you," Qin Jun said with a smile and a bow.

And so, Qin Jun and the others stayed in the Dragon Palace.

After they left the hall, an old turtle spirit walked in through a side door and said urgently, "Your Majesty, the Black-faced Wind Demon has come to the Southern Sea!"

"The Black-faced Wind Demon?"

The smile on the Black Dragon King's face instantly disappeared. This name was well-known to him.

The appearance of the Dark Wind Demon represented slaughter.

"What is his target?" the Black Dragon King asked in a deep voice. The Dark Wind Demon and the Green Fox King were both powerful demons in the same camp.

The Dragon Emperor had not returned for several years, and the demon race had become increasingly audacious in their actions against the dragon race.

The appearance of the Dark Wind Demon in the Southern Sea at this time probably indicated that it was targeting the dragon race.

"I'm not sure. It seems to be because a group of cultivators repelled the Green Fox King a few days ago," the Old Turtle Spirit shook its head.

The battle in Bianhai City was witnessed by many cultivators and demons, and the news was spreading rapidly.

"Troublesome times..." the Black Dragon King sighed.

Not only in the Southern Sea, but the atmosphere in the Eastern Flame Domain had also become tense recently. The Black Dragon King had already sensed the smell of gunpowder.

If a major war broke out, could their dragon race protect themselves?

He suddenly thought of Qin Jun, and his subordinates. His eyes began to flicker, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

...

Time passed, and three days quickly went by.

Qin Jun was busy with his cultivation every day. Occasionally, when Xiaoli had free time, the two of them would be alone for a while. He didn't disturb Xiaoli often, which made the Black Dragon King have more and more favorable feelings towards him.

In these three days, the Green Fox King did not come to bother Qin Jun again, and the Demon Ancestor did not send any powerful demons. It was unexpectedly calm.

On this particular day at noon, the Old Turtle Spirit came to the coast and found Qin Jun.

"Your Majesty, our King has something to discuss with you. It's about a message from the Dragon Emperor," the Old Turtle Spirit said respectfully.

The Old Turtle Spirit could be considered the right-hand man of the Black Dragon King. Although not powerful, he was quite capable of managing Dragon Island.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun quickly sheathed his sword, and the blade was inserted into the scabbard at his waist. He turned and walked towards the Old Turtle Spirit, smiling, "Your King is really efficient."

The Old Turtle Spirit forced a smile and did not respond, because he couldn't tell whether Qin Jun's words were praise or criticism.

The two of them quickly flew to the Dragon Palace.

In the main hall, the Black Dragon King was pacing in front of the throne, looking somewhat anxious.

"Dragon King, what did the Dragon Emperor say?" Qin Jun asked loudly as soon as he arrived.

"It's not good. It seems that the Master may not be able to return for a while," the Black Dragon King gritted his teeth. The two people he cared most about in his life were Xiaoli and the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor had given him everything he had now.

If it weren't for the Dragon Emperor, he might still be just an ordinary black dragon being hunted by human cultivators.
