Looking at Xiao Chen who passed out from anger, all the disciples of the Jun family standing in the combat arena shuddered with fear.

Not only was Jun Xiaoyao physically strong, but he also had a silver tongue.

He almost gave Xiao Chen a heart attack with a few words.

Jun Xiaoyao sighed softly. He didn’t know what to say.

He was only speaking the truth.

People like Xiao Chen who relied on luck would usually be blessed with a fortune after being stripped of talents and strength.

They would regain their power through a series of fortunate strokes of serendipity and eventually conquer the world.

That being said, Jun Xiaoyao truly kept Xiao Chen’s benefits in mind.

“Someone, throw him out the gate,” Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and ordered.

Soon, a guard of the Jun family stepped forward and dragged the unconscious Xiao Chen away.

At that moment, Jun Zhantian revealed himself in the void.

“Grandpa,” Jun Xiaoyao nodded at him.

He sensed a while ago that Jun Zhantian and the other elders were watching him from the shadows.

“Xiaoyao, wildfire can’t burn away the grasses as they rise again when spring breezes blow. You need to know to dig up the roots to cut the weeds.” Jun Zhantian’s expression was solemn.

He was afraid that Jun Xiaoyao would become arrogant and develop a habit of underestimating his opponent.

It would’ve been unwise for him to let his enemy off the hook so easily.

“Haha, no need to worry, grandpa. I have a plan,” Jun Xiaoyao laughed.

How could Jun Xiaoyao not understand the necessity of eradicating the source of trouble?

To Jun Xiaoyao, Xiao Chen was like a field of chives that he could harvest anytime he wanted.

As of now, Jun Xiaoyao only obtained the Dragon Qi from Xiao Chen and was far from squeezing him dry.

Wouldn’t Jun Xiaoyao gain more from exploiting Xiao Chen as time passed?

Jun Xiaoyao would certainly end Xiao Chen’s pathetic life when he became useless to him.

“As long as you know what you’re doing. This kind of small potato can’t cause much trouble anyway. You need to be prepared for next year,” said Jun Zhantian.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slowly.

Jun Zhantian was talking about Jun Xiaoyao’s Ten Years Old Banquet.

At that time, the Jun family would invite several powerful people in the Huangtian Mystic Realm. It would be a grand occasion that drew worldwide attention.

Even Jun Xiaoyao’s mother’s family — the Jiang family of the Clan of the Ancients — would invite people to attend.

Jun Xiaoyao’s mother Jiang Rou always wanted to introduce him to the precious daughter of the Jiang family.

Additionally, the Jun family would announce Jun Xiaoyao’s identity as the Sequence Zero during his Ten Years Old Banquet.

It would definitely cause quite a stir in the Jun family since all the other Sequences were sure to react.

That was why Jun Zhantian wanted Jun Xiaoyao to be prepared.

“Don’t worry, grandpa. I will never disappoint you, mom, and the Eighteenth Ancestor,” Jun Xiaoyao answered with confidence.

He didn’t forget that he could have another check-in opportunity at the Ten Years Old Banquet.

The reward he would receive at that time could be hugely beneficial to his strength.

“Of course grandpa has faith in you,” Jun Zhantian said with a satisfied smile.

When the incident was over, Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace and planned to absorb the Dragon Qi for good.

Bai Yu’er also stayed in the Heavenly Emperor Palace for now.

She also received a small portion of the Dragon Qi, combined with the Divine Fire of the Phoenix she already possessed.

Bai Yu’er’s power was sure to grow rapidly.

Most importantly, she was dead set on following Jun Xiaoyao and had been branded by him inside and out.

If Jun Xiaoyao asked her to die for him, Bai Yu’er wouldn’t hesitate at all.

Compared to Jun Xiaoyao who had a bountiful harvest, Xiao Chen was currently in a rather wretched state.

He slowly opened his eyes and realized that he was already dumped outside of the gate of the Jun family.

“Ugh…”

Xiao Chen struggled to rise to his feet. Not only was he covered with wounds, but he also suffered serious internal injuries. His muscles, meridians, and bones were all destroyed.

His condition couldn’t have gotten any worse.

Many cultivators were watching gleefully outside of the gate of the Jun family.

Xiao Chen had barged into the Jun family with insufferable arrogance, yet he was still thrown out like a piece of garbage in no time.

“Is the prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon incapacitated?”

“Probably. He looks like a stray dog.”

“He only has himself to blame. How dare he went to challenge the divine child of the Jun family? He probably lost his fiancee as well. Regardless, he totally got what he deserved!”

The onlookers around jeered and sneered at Xiao Chen with disdainful expressions.

Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly and walked away step by step.

He only looked up at the sky and bellowed in agony once he was out of people’s sight. He pummeled the old trees in front of him.

“Dammit! Know this, Jun Xiaoyao; if I ever get a chance in the future, I’ll make you suffer a thousand times more!”

While Xiao Chen was shouting and screaming, his blood slowly saturated the Panlong Ring on his finger.

Suddenly, an old man’s voice rang out. “Are all of the descendants of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon as dispirited as you?”

“Who is it?” Xiao Chen scanned the area.

His eyes then focused on the Panlong Ring on his and found a blue light coming from it.

Immediately, the shadow of an old man appeared before Xiao Chen. He had white eyebrows and was wearing a blue dragon robe.

“You… you are…” Xiao Chen’s eyes widened as he stared at the old man.

The old man also had two dragon horns growing on his head.

Xiao Chen immediately felt like he had seen this old man somewhere before.

“Hehe, have my descendants forgotten me already?” The blue-robed old man with dragon horns said with a chuckle.

An idea flashed through Xiao Chen’s head. He took in a deep breath before he said, “You are… Master Blue Dragon, the grand patriarch and founding father of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon!”

He finally remembered who he was.

This old man looked exactly like the statue of the grand patriarch standing inside of the palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon.

According to historical records, as the founding father and the grand patriarch, Master Blue Dragon was a demi-supreme cultivator!

He was one step away from reaching the Supreme Lord Stage!

He must be very powerful to be so close to reaching the Supreme Lord Stage!

“Xiao Chen, the crown prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon, greets the grand patriarch!” Xiao Chen trembled with excitement, his face lit up.

He never knew that the spirit of the grand patriarch lived in the Panlong Ring left behind by his deceased mother.

It turned out that there was always a way out!

Master Blue Dragon looked at Xiao Chen and said, “I woke up many years ago and sensed that you’re the current crown prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon. That’s why I have been transferring magical power and a variety of resources to you, yet somehow you still lost to the divine child of the Jun family.”

Xiao Chen showed a tinge of resentment on his face as he said, “Then why didn’t you help me to kill Jun Xiaoyao back then?”

“Humph, what a fool. Neither of us would escape from the Jun family alive if I stepped in back then!” Master Blue Dragon scolded Xiao Chen.

Up until now, Master Blue Dragon had been satisfied with Xiao Chen’s performance. This time, however, Xiao Chen was pretty shaken up now.

“But you’re a demi-supreme cultivator, the grand patriarch. Even you can’t scare the Jun family?” Xiao Chen asked. He refused to accept defeat.

Master Blue Dragon shook his head and said, “I could hardly deal with the Jun family even when I was at my peak, let alone now when I barely had a tenth of my strength. The Clan of the Ancients is much more formidable than you might’ve thought.”

“If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean that I will never be able to take my revenge…?” Xiao Chen said, gritting his teeth.

He was crippled, yet Master Blue Dragon couldn’t help him either.

“Don’t lose hope just yet. You’re the crown prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon. The Kingdom still needs you in the future. I won’t let this be the way your legacy ends, either,” said Master Blue Dragon.

“Please help me, the grand patriarch. I’m willing to pay any price!” Xiao Chen said with great determination.

Pleased, Master Blue Dragon took out a blue rolled-up scroll.

“Even though your muscles and meridians were destroyed, you are not completely out of luck. This is the Guide to Dragon Transformation in Blue Sky, a demi-supreme method that I used to practice. I can give it to you.”

“Transforming into a dragon in the blue sky. How can I rise without being beaten down first?”

A flame of hope flickered in Xiao Chen’s eyes that were filled with despair moments ago.

He felt uplifted and filled with fighting spirit.

“Jun Xiaoyao, arrogance is your fatal weakness. It was your gravest mistake to let me live!

“I will have my revenge for what you did to me!”
