Chapter 4151: Identity Exposed

Ye Bufan said, "This is normal. Qing Can obtained a Dragon Whisker Fruit from a Human Race Cultivator a while ago. After consuming it, her strength improved by leaps and bounds, so it's reasonable for her to defeat a junior."

"This also makes sense."

The Dragon Emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry. He sneered and said, "The Dragon Palace has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years.

But ever since you returned a few days ago, first the Heavenly Prison was infiltrated, and then a Human Race entered the Forbidden Land. What do you say is going on?"

"This… This should just be a coincidence, Long Geng doesn't know."

After answering the three questions, Ye Bufan basically guessed that the Dragon Emperor only suspected him, but didn't have conclusive evidence.

"A coincidence, really?"

The Dragon Emperor said, "Actually, these are just casual chats with you, nothing significant."

Ye Bufan was a bit surprised, not knowing what the old man meant.

The Dragon Emperor then said, "Since there's suspicion, we need to investigate. It's very simple. You and Princess Qing Can just need to reveal your true forms to prove you are of the Dragon Clan."

Ye Bufan's heart instantly sank to the bottom. He had to admit, this old man had hit his weak spot with one blow.

He could steal Long Geng's memories, disguise himself as him, and even help Xiao Qing replace Princess Qing Can.

But the Dragon Clan's true form was his fatal weakness; his easy disguise technique, no matter how good, couldn't replicate it.

The same went for Xiao Qing. Although she had completely evolved into a true Dragon, there was still a qualitative difference between her and Princess Qing Can.

Once they revealed their true forms, they would immediately be exposed. A Four Grade Sacred Dragon and the former Princess Qing Can differed by nearly double in size, not to mention color and Bloodline.

The Dragon Emperor's words were sharp and directly hit his most vulnerable point.

Since things had come to this, there was no need to continue pretending. Ye Bufan said, "Even if Long Geng is fake, why are you so sure it's me? Perhaps I am the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor."

"You admit it, do you?"

The Dragon Emperor said, "Whether it's the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor or Yuwen Juan, including many Five-Rank Saint Emperors before, I've dealt with them all.

They neither have this ability nor the need to come to my Dragon Clan."

"That's true."

The muscles on Ye Bufan's face twitched, and he returned to his original appearance.

The surrounding crowd was instantly in an uproar. No one expected that Long Geng, one of the four great Dragon Kings, was actually an impersonator.

What did this mean? Firstly, the other party's methods were Heaven-Defying, and secondly, the real Long Geng was already dead.

A Five-Rank Saint Dragon of the mighty Dragon Clan dying at someone else's hands was something that hadn't happened in tens of thousands of years.

Ye Bufan completely ignored the shocked expressions of the crowd and calmly looked at the Dragon Emperor, "Speak, where is my daughter?"

"Do you want your daughter? Then let's discuss the terms."

A smug smile appeared at the corner of the Dragon Emperor's mouth, as if he was already confident of victory.

"You can have your daughter, but agree to my three conditions.

First, hand over the Blood Jade Qilin.

Second, hand over the remnants of the Sky Fox Clan.

Third, tell me where Hu Xiaobai is hiding?"

Ye Bufan said, "I can't fulfill any of these conditions. First, I'm not familiar with the Xiao Bai you mentioned, so I don't know where she is at all.

Secondly, I've hidden the Sky Fox Clan in a secret place in the Supreme Saint Heaven. If you want them, I can take you to find them.

As for the Blood Jade Qilin you mentioned, I don't know anything about it, nor do I know where it is."

Ye Bufan couldn't deny the Sky Fox Clan, so he could only use a delaying tactic, dragging out the time, hoping to find a solution later.

As for the Blood Jade Qilin, Ye Bufan directly denied it. After all, the Dragon Emperor hadn't caught him, and everything was pure speculation.

Meiqi was now the sole heir of the Kirin Clan, and he absolutely could not hand her over to the other party.

Seeing that all three conditions were rejected, the Dragon Emperor's expression darkened: "Boy, do you not want your daughter anymore?"

"Of course I want my daughter."

Ye Bufan said, "Before we talk terms, you should at least let me see them."

The Dragon Emperor said, "You can see them, but first fulfill all three conditions I mentioned."

Ye Bufan's heart stirred. Logically, if the other party wanted to threaten him, holding the hostage would naturally be most effective.

But even now, the Dragon Emperor hadn't played this card, so it was very likely that he hadn't caught Xiao Yezi at all.

His gaze sharpened as he looked over: "You haven't caught my daughter at all, have you?"

The Dragon Emperor was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Only just realizing it now? Should I praise you for being smart, or call you foolish? I just used a child's hair clip to trick you here."

Ye Bufan felt a sense of relief. No wonder he had searched the Heavenly Prison and even gone to the Forbidden Land without finding any trace of Xiao Yezi. It turned out she hadn't fallen into the other party's hands at all.

But he still couldn't quite understand. The hair clip was clearly Xiao Yezi's and had fallen into the other party's hands, so why hadn't they caught her?

"What exactly is going on? Where is my daughter? And where did you get that hair clip?"

The Dragon Emperor dared to reveal his trump card because he was confident he had the other party cornered.

This was the Dragon Palace; everything was under control. As long as Ye Bufan entered, he couldn't escape.

He said, "This Emperor did send an Envoy to the Lower Heaven Region to capture your women.

But unexpectedly, that slut Hu Xiaobai suddenly appeared, injured the Dragon Clan's Envoy, and rescued those women.

Fortunately, the person I sent was clever and brought back your daughter's hair clip.

This Emperor will use your own strategy against you and sent someone to trick you here. Since Hu Xiaobai can rescue your women, it means your relationship is not shallow.

As long as I capture you and gain control of the Sky Fox Clan, I don't believe that woman won't come to my door willingly."

Ye Bufan finally understood what was going on, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes: "You are truly despicable!"

The Dragon Emperor didn't care at all, bursting into laughter: "Despicable? The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. This Emperor calls it wisdom."

Knowing that his daughter and Su Ruyue were safe, Ye Bufan felt much more at ease.

"You're ruthless, but there's one thing I don't understand. With your status, what kind of woman couldn't you have? Why do you insist on targeting the Fox Clan Saintess?"

This was also a question in his heart. Previously, he thought the Dragon Emperor was just coveting Xiao Bai's beauty, but now it seemed not that simple.

According to Long Geng's memory, the Dragon Emperor was not a lecherous person.

Yet now, he had expended countless efforts and paid a huge price, including the Dragon Clan's reputation, to deal with the Sky Fox Clan.

What was the true purpose behind it? It shouldn't be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"Boy, you ask too many questions."

The Dragon Emperor seemed to lose patience, his expression instantly darkened, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Tell me where the Sky Fox Clan and the Blood Jade Qilin are hidden? And that slut, do you know where she's hiding?"

"Do you think I'll tell you?"

Ye Bufan curled his lips, his face full of disdain, then his expression suddenly changed, and he looked anxiously to the west. "Xiao Bai, what are you doing here? Run!"
