Chapter 1776 - 1773: Hei Yuan Strikes!
Ao Xiong glanced around and said, "What if I insist on going my own way? What will you do then?"
Hearing Ao Xiong’s domineering words, everyone present was taken aback.
Logically, having just ascended to the throne and with an unstable foundation, Ao Xiong should not do anything that would anger the masses.
But he insisted on doing what he knew he should not!
"Then the Golden Dragon Tribe will not recognize you as the Alliance Hierarch!" declared Jin Lang, the Clan Leader of the Golden Dragon Tribe, taking the lead.
"Neither will the Moon Dragon Tribe!" Ao Tao, the Clan Leader of the Moon Dragon Tribe, followed suit.
The Wind Dragon Tribe, Thunder Dragon Tribe, and Fire Dragon Tribe also responded in succession.
Even Ao Xiong’s staunch ally, Ao Bo of the Earth Dragon Tribe, looked troubled and earnestly advised, "Alliance Hierarch, those Human Clans are nothing more than ants. Our Dragon Clan’s nine prominent tribes could annihilate them with ease. Why form an alliance with the Beast Spirit Clan?"
"If you’re worried, my Dragon Slayer Tribe is willing to immediately dispatch troops to annihilate the Human Clan!"
While speaking, Ao Bo emphatically pounded his chest, making a fervent promise.
However, Ao Xiong did not show any courtesy towards his goodwill.
Ao Xiong looked at Ao Bo as if he were an idiot, not speaking for a long time.
Ao Bo was utterly embarrassed, unsure whether to speak or remain silent, standing foolishly like a post.
After a long while, he stubbornly said, "My mind is made up. You need not persuade me further!"
After saying this, before anyone could react, he clapped his hands forcefully.
Soon, two figures strode out.
Seeing the newcomers, all the Dragon Clan experts were utterly dumbfounded.
Ao Tao of the Moon Dragon Tribe was the first to let out a cry of disbelief.
"Hei Yuan, Bai Bao, how are you two here?"
Hei Yuan, with a sinister smile, said, "Everyone, long time no see. We are here because Ao Xiong, oh no, now it should be Alliance Hierarch Ao Xiong, invited us!"
"We don’t recognize such an alliance hierarch!" Jin Lang and Ao Tao were both furious.
Other Dragon Clan experts were no different.
However, in the face of their anger, Ao Xiong and Hei Yuan remained calm.
Hei Yuan said eerily, "Do not get angry, or it may easily activate the toxins of the Dragon Transformation Powder!"
Hearing the words "Dragon Transformation Powder," all the Dragon Clan experts turned pale with shock.
Soon, weaker cultivation experts of the Dragon Clan let out cries of misery.
As everyone looked, they saw them revealing their true forms.
Their flesh was like a puddle of mud, collapsing to the ground with faces full of agony.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, more Dragon Clan experts collapsed to the ground.
In just 15 minutes, only a dozen or so top experts like Ao Tao and Jin Lang could barely hold on.
However, from their slightly grim expressions, it was clear they were only holding on through strong Dragon Source Power.
Ao Tao suddenly extended his dragon claw, smashing the wine jar in front of him to the ground.
"Not good, the wine is poisoned!"
Immediately, all Dragon Clan experts turned their furious gazes towards Ao Xiong.
Even the thick-skinned, dark-hearted Ao Xiong felt a bit guilty at this moment, dodging the eyes of Ao Tao and the rest like a thief, not daring to meet them directly.
Seeing the situation, Hei Yuan’s lips curled into a smile of pride.
He pointed at Jin Lang, Ao Tao, and the others, laughing manically.
"Jin Lang, Ao Tao, your Dragon Clan always thought itself so superior. Did you ever imagine a day like this?"
Hot-tempered Ao Tao immediately cursed.
"Hei Yuan, don’t get too smug. We Dragon Clans..."
"Wow!"
Before Ao Tao could finish the sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
His anger overwhelmed him, and blood gushed from his mouth.
Hei Yuan approached a young member of the Moon Dragon Tribe, giving him a cold look.
The young Moon Dragon shivered with fear, instinctively looking to Ao Tao for help.
But at that moment, his pupils widened, and blood gushed from the top of his head like a waterfall.
It turned out that just as he turned around, Hei Yuan suddenly exerted force, smashing the young Moon Dragon’s top of the skull, crushing his entire head.
"Hei Yuan, stop!"
Ao Tao watched helplessly as a young member of his tribe died before him, grinding his teeth in hatred.
The other Dragon Clan experts were also furious at this sight.
Even Ao Xiong froze for a moment.
Clearly, Hei Yuan’s sudden act of killing a dragon was far beyond their prior plans.
Ao Xiong’s eyes widened in anger as he fiercely questioned, "Hei Yuan, what are you doing?"
Hei Yuan laughed cruelly and said, "What else? Of course, it’s to kill some disobedient ones!"
As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Ao Xiong.
Clearly, it was a warning to him.
If you don’t comply, we’ll kill you too.
Ao Xiong understood the meaning in Hei Yuan’s eyes, making him panic, feeling he had been duped.
Ao Tao’s teeth ground loudly, shouting in blood-stained words, "Ao Xiong, this is your doing. You will be the eternal criminal of our Dragon Clan, an eternal criminal, an eternal criminal!"
"Eternal criminal" was not just shouted by Ao Tao but by all Dragon Clan members, roaring in anger.
In an instant, Ao Xiong felt like he was struck by lightning, his giant body trembling uncontrollably.
At this moment, he knew very well that regardless of his reputation or current interests, he could not let Hei Yuan act recklessly, slaughtering Dragon Clan members.
"Hei Yuan, enough. We agreed earlier, only to form an alliance to confront the Human Clan. What do you intend by slaughtering my Dragon Clan members now?"
As he spoke, he shook in a show of authority.
Soon, over a hundred experts from the Black Dragon Tribe appeared, surrounding Hei Yuan, Bai Lang, and the others tightly.
Though surrounded by over a hundred Dragon Clan experts, Hei Yuan and Bai Lang remained unafraid.
Hei Yuan stared at Ao Xiong and asked eerily, "Ao Xiong, you are now the eternal criminal of the Dragon Clan. Do you think they will spare you just because of this?"
Again hearing the words "eternal criminal," Ao Xiong involuntarily shivered.
At this moment, he regretted it deeply.
There were countless ways to seize power over the Dragon Clan, not necessarily colluding with the Sky Demon Palace.
Now that inviting the gods is easy but sending them away is hard!
Just dealing with Hei Yuan was already so troublesome.
If the Sky Demon Ancestor took action, would he have any chance to resist?
