Chapter 4166: Unlocking the Seal

Ye Bufan looked at the ferocious Dragon Emperor with a thoughtful expression. What did he mean by threatening him here? Was it related to the terrifying existence in the Forbidden Land?

If that powerful force belonged to the Dragon Clan, why hadn't it been revealed before? Even when the Dragon Palace was in such a state, it hadn't been used.

Moreover, judging by the Dragon Emperor's tone, he seemed to be burning his bridges, which truly puzzled Ye Bufan.

The Sword Emperor, however, was unfazed. "Threatening this Emperor, are you? If you have the guts, use it. I refuse to believe your Dragon Clan has two Sixth-Rank Sacred Beasts!"

He truly thought this way in his heart. Now, with Hu Xiaobai's cooperation, he was already in an invincible position.

He didn't know where this Nine-tailed Sky Fox came from, but he was certain that the Dragon Clan couldn't possibly have two Sixth-Rank Sacred Dragons; otherwise, they would have already swept across the entire Upper Heaven Domain and dominated all other races.

As he spoke, the immortal sword in his hand struck out one after another, and Hu Xiaobai's attacks also continued relentlessly.

Under the combined assault of the two, the Dragon Emperor sustained several more injuries.

"You forced my hand! Now, go to hell!"

With a furious, gritting roar, the Dragon Emperor's giant claw struck down, not at Hu Xiaobai or the Sword Emperor, but smashing the stone tablet of the Forbidden Land to pieces.

The Sword Emperor was slightly stunned, unsure of what he was doing.

And just then, a earth-shattering roar came from the dark cave deep within the Forbidden Land, as if the sky and earth were collapsing.

Everyone present was startled and looked over. The Sword Emperor and Hu Xiaobai both took defensive stances, guarding against the Dragon Emperor while looking towards the cave entrance.

Ye Bufan's heart sank. Although he didn't understand what was happening, his intuition told him it was definitely related to the terrifying existence trapped in the Forbidden Land.

Under the gaze of everyone, the entrance to the Forbidden Land exploded with a bang, and two figures rushed out of the spatial passage.

The one in front was a Middle-aged Man, extremely burly, well over two meters tall, with a handsome face, but exuding an endless killing intent from head to toe.

Behind him followed a woman in black, with a graceful figure whose beauty was no less than Situ Dianmo's, but the intense hatred and destructive aura radiating from her made people afraid to look directly at her.

Powerful, extremely powerful—this was everyone's inner feeling.

The aura released by the man and woman was no less than that of the Dragon Emperor and the Sword Emperor. It was clear that these were also Sixth-Rank powerhouses.

The members of the Kirin Clan were all filled with astonishment. When did Sixth-Rank become so cheap? They hadn't seen a single one before, but today, four suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Ye Bufan raised his eyebrows. He hadn't seen this man and woman before, but from their aura, he could sense that these were the terrifying presences he had felt within the Forbidden Land, now released by the Dragon Emperor.

The Middle-aged Man glared at the Dragon Emperor: "Long Ao, you have sealed us, husband and wife, for so many years. It's time to settle this debt!"

The woman in black roared even more furiously: "Give me back my child, or I'll make your entire Dragon Clan pay with their lives!"

"Now is not the time for us to settle personal grievances. Regardless of what is between us, you are ultimately a member of the Dragon Clan."

Long Ao said to the Middle-aged Man, raising his hand and pointing to the surrounding Dragon Clan members, who were either dead or injured. Even Long Che, one of the Four Great Dragon Kings, had already fallen on the spot.

"Do you see? This is a matter of life and death for my Dragon Clan. If we don't act now, you and I will become the sinners of the entire Dragon Clan!

Now, join forces with me and kill these people in front of us. When it's over, I'll let you do as you please!"

After he finished speaking, the eyes of the two people in front of him finally moved away from Long Ao, glancing around, but quickly returned.

The Middle-aged Man smiled coldly: "Long Ao, have you forgotten? I was expelled from the Dragon Clan back then. What does the life or death of the Dragon Clan have to do with me?"

The woman in black's voice was icy: "You tricked us here with our child back then, sealing us for tens of thousands of years. Now you want us to help you? That's a pipe dream.

Hurry up and give us back our child, or I'll wipe out your Dragon Clan right now!"

Towards the end, the violent killing intent and destructive aura emanating from her sent shivers down one's spine.

"Hahaha, Taotie, you truly are heartless and ungrateful, to just sit back and watch the Dragon Clan be slaughtered.

But it doesn't matter. Your wife reminded me that the child is still in my hands.

Kill them, and I'll return him to you. Otherwise, don't even think about seeing your child in this lifetime."

After he finished speaking, the woman in black roared: "Long Ao, can you be any more shameless? You're utterly despicable!"

Her deep eyes were filled with hatred. If gazes could kill, the Dragon Emperor would have been torn to shreds a thousand times over.

"Shameless? What good is that thing?"

The Dragon Emperor laughed arrogantly, "Whether I'm despicable or shameless, you still have to obey me.

I'm keeping my word this time. You two, husband and wife, kill everyone in front of you, and I'll return the child to you. Otherwise, you know the consequences.

That bastard still has half of my Dragon Clan's Bloodline. Don't force me to completely destroy him."

Ye Bufan had been standing by the side. Based on the information he had previously obtained, combined with the conversation between the three, he had roughly guessed the course of events.

This Middle-aged Man in front of him should be Taotie of the Dragon Clan, and the woman was the First Demon Insect in human form.

Hu Xiaobai had once said that Taotie was imprisoned by the Dragon Clan, and the First Demon Insect was nowhere to be found.

It seemed that this information was all false. Both of them were sealed together in the Dragon race forbidden area, and the Seal used by the Dragon Emperor was the Saint Blood Sealing Heaven Seal, known as the First Seal.

To maintain this Seal, he had also murdered his good brother, the Blood Jade Qilin, and used his blood to sustain it for tens of thousands of years.

He made a deduction based on subsequent events: because the Blood Jade Qilin's lifespan was nearing its end, he then plotted against the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, Hu Xiaobai.

He didn't want to marry her or covet her beauty, but rather to use her Bloodline to continue maintaining this Seal.

Otherwise, once Taotie and the First Demon Insect escaped, the Dragon Clan would be the first to suffer.

And due to Ye Bufan's appearance, all plans were disrupted. In despair, the Dragon Clan released Taotie and the First Demon Insect, forcing them to fight.

Whether Taotie and the First Demon Insect won, or the Nine-tailed Sky Fox and the Kirin Clan gained the upper hand, the ultimate outcome would certainly be mutual destruction, allowing him to reap the benefits.

He truly was an old fox; his calculations were undeniably precise. It was just a pity that good and evil always have their retribution, and fate had him encounter Ye Bufan.

The First Demon Insect hated Long Ao to death, but she was hesitant to act, as her child was in his hands.

Taotie's expression was grim. After a moment, he said, "I can do anything for you, but you must return the child to us first."

"The Dragon Clan is facing a great enemy right now. I haven't brought him with me, but I can take you to find someone.

I swear on behalf of the Dragon Clan, as long as you do as I say and kill these hateful guys, I will definitely return the child to you, without a doubt!"

"Long Ao, I'll trust you one more time. If you dare to deceive me again, I will definitely kill you, including those people behind you!"

Taotie finally chose to yield. After finishing his words, his form changed, and a giant monstrous beast appeared before everyone's eyes.
