Chapter 192.1: You Dare Claim Your Dragon Blood Is Pure?
Qi Yuan said calmly, laced with unmistakable contempt, "Because I just happened to counter you."
The rest of the gods were completely speechless. They simply couldn't understand where his confidence came from. This was the North Sea Divine Eye, the very heart of the North Sea Dragon Clan. Provoking them here was no different from courting death.
Golden Dragon stared at Qi Yuan, fury blazing in his eyes. "I don’t care if your father is a Great Venerable! You're not leaving this place today!"
He was truly enraged now. No matter the cost, he was determined to keep Qi Yuan here. The six True Gods also didn’t show the slightest fear toward Qi Yuan. The atmosphere grew taut, signaling an impending battle.
Just then, a Second Step elderly man stepped in as a mediator. "All of you are ancient gods. With external enemies still at large, we mustn’t rush into conflict. Peace should come first."
He was well known for being a peacemaker.
Golden Dragon's expression eased slightly, and he said coldly to Qi Yuan, "Hand over the woman, and we'll let this matter rest."
Qi Yuan’s face darkened instantly. This man really knew how to put on an act.
"Hand over the divine spiritual energy of all seven of you, and I'll spare the North Sea Dragon Clan" Qi Yuan said flatly, his tone icy.
If Golden Dragon's words had carried even a hint of compromise, Qi Yuan's held none at all. To an outsider, it would have seemed as though Qi Yuan were the real villain here.
Nearby, Ye Liuyun grew anxious and sent a voice transmission in a rush. "Brother Qi, you're being a bit impulsive. Why don't we retreat while we still can?"
Qi Yuan couldn't care less. He replied calmly, "Is he a Yang Spirit? No? Then wouldn't running away be terribly embarrassing?"
