When it comes down to it, no matter how these divine beasts struggle, they can't actually threaten Evan Chu. But after all, they're elders—once a fight breaks out, the energy storms they unleash are earth-shaking and terrifying.
Whoosh—
A section of space collapsed, instantly tearing open the barrier and destabilizing the area.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
A furious shout came from afar and then the figure rapidly appeared before everyone.
"You people are insane! How can you fight near the barrier? Do you want to destroy it and let those damned humans find our hiding place?"
The divine beast that had rushed over revealed its true form—it was actually a seven-clawed Silver Dragon!
"Silver Dragon Second Elder, you're just in time! Help us tie up this guy and bring him before the King for judgment!"
The other divine beasts all spoke up, leaving Evan Chu helpless—these guys were dead set on treating him as a spy who'd bring them disaster.
It's easy to imagine just how much psychological trauma the War of the Gods inflicted on them. At the same time, Evan felt something odd—the bloodline power of these divine beasts here seemed almost frighteningly strong.
With such powerful cultivation and such pure bloodlines, why would they be hiding out in a place like this? Shouldn't they be at the center of the divine beast army, showing up as kings?
"You kid—how did you get in here? What's your purpose? If you cooperate, I can spare you some pain. If not, I'll have to take you down myself."
The Silver Dragon elder shot Evan Chu a hostile look. If they weren't near the barrier, worried that a fight would tear it apart, he would've already attacked.
But instead of answering, Evan Chu asked a question of his own:
"You're an elder of the Silver Dragon Clan? Then let me ask you—are there any Golden Dragons here? Seven-clawed or higher Golden Dragons?"
The Silver Dragon elder's expression changed, growing even more wary as he stared at Evan Chu.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Uh, I don't mean anything by it. Fine, let me show you two people—maybe you'll recognize them. Jade, Silver Dragon, come out!"
Evan Chu released Jade and Silver Dragon from the Timewheel Bracelet, and as soon as they sensed the intense aura of their kin, both immediately revealed their true forms.
"Heavens! Royal blood of the Silver Dragon Clan! If they fully evolve, they can become nine-clawed Silver Dragons!"
"Just who is this human? How can he have both Lord Kunpeng and Silver Dragon royal blood at his side!"
The other divine beasts didn't know—even aside from these two, Evan Chu had other powerful beasts with him, like the Black Qilin and Fire Dragon.
"Your auras..." The Silver Dragon elder looked at Jade and Silver Dragon, tears of excitement welling up in his eyes, though he could hardly believe it.
"It's me and my sister, Second Uncle!"
"It really... it really is you! This old servant greets the Young Lord and Princess!"
The Silver Dragon elder instantly reverted to his true form and knelt down, two huge tears rolling from his dragon eyes.
"Second Uncle... I never thought I'd see you again. How did you end up here? After the War of the Gods, have you and the others been living here all this time?"
"That's right! Those bastards betrayed the Dragon Clan, and joined forces with those damned humans to target our divine beast kings and royal bloodlines.
To escape, we had no choice but to abandon the Divine-Beast Ancestral Land and hide here..."
What the Silver Dragon elder said matched Evan Chu's own suspicions. The 'bastards' they mentioned were surely the Shadowdrake traitors who poisoned the Dragon Clan.
And those damned humans must be the ones who framed him—now part of the mysterious Spirit Lord's faction in the God Realm.
"I can't believe they actually found the Silver Dragon Clan's princess. But when will our Qilin Clan finally find our own princess..."
Evan Chu happened to overhear this and was shaken—Qilin Clan's princess? That must be Yvonne Xuan.
"By the way, Princess, Young Lord, who is this person? Why did you come here with him? And how did you know we were living here?"
Jade glanced at Evan Chu, then addressed all the divine beasts:
"His identity isn't something you're qualified to know. I think the only one here who can speak to him as an equal is the Phoenix Clan's King."
"What?!"
The Silver Dragon elder knew Jade wouldn't lie, but his heart was still shaken—just who was this man?
"Alright, Jade, you know why I've come. Time is tight—I want to speak to whoever's in charge here as soon as possible."
"Understood, Young Lord."
