There had been no news of a Human Sovereign in the Northern Desert recently, but that did not mean there had never been one in history. Ten thousand years ago, there was a peerless overlord, Long Tianxing.
He was the only overlord of the Northern Desert in more than 10,000 years. He unified the Northern Desert and established the Heaven Desert Empire. He dominated the Northern Desert for 3,000 years.
Unfortunately, when Long Tianxing was nearing the end of his lifespan, the Long family still did not have a Human Sovereign Realm cultivator. In addition, the Dragon Emperor was violent and had made countless enemies. After Long Tianxing's death, the Long family was destroyed by the alliance of the various clans.
The Northern Desert Empire collapsed, and the Northern Desert entered an era of competition, which lasted until now.
Perhaps Long Tianxing knew that he had made too many enemies. Before he died, he had already found the tomb and paid a huge price to build it. Before he died, he even killed all the people who built the tomb.
The Tomb of the Dragon King had always been a mystery of the Northern Desert. Countless families had been thinking about it for thousands of years.
Because of Long Tianxing's tyrannical nature, he had slaughtered countless families and plundered countless treasures.
However, when the clans destroyed the Dragon Family, they found that many valuable treasures were missing. Needless to say, they were all in the Tomb of Dragon King.
Two months ago, the Tomb of Dragon King finally appeared in the world. It was in a place that no one had expected, the Cliff of Purgatory.
The Cliff of Purgatory was at the north of the Thousand-island Lake. This cliff used to be the place where the Dragon King executed condemned prisoners. Back then, many condemned prisoners were dragged here and thrown into the lake to be fed to Xuan Beasts after they were killed. That was why this place was called the Cliff of Purgatory.
Because too many people were killed here, corpses were left here all year round. Many profound beasts gathered in the lake below the rocks. The rocks here were dyed red with blood, and one could smell the stench of blood from afar.
Therefore, for thousands of years, almost no one had come close. No one would have thought that the Dragon King would cultivate in the Cliff of Purgatory. That was why the Tomb of the Dragon King had not been discovered for so many years.
Two months ago.
A Third-rank Family of the Thousand-island Lake hunted down an enemy to the Cliff of Purgatory. At the critical moment of life and death, that enemy made the breakthrough to the Soul Pond Realm and fought at the foot of the Cliff of Purgatory.
In the end, he accidentally released his Xuan Energy to attack the cliff wall of the Cliff of Purgatory. The entrance to the Tomb of Dragon King was revealed.
That family immediately sent people in to investigate. In the end, they discovered that there was a powerful restriction at the entrance. Many experts could not enter, but a young master of the family who accompanied them easily entered.
That clan's young master walked around for a while and brought out three treasures: a purple war chariot, a bottle containing the Origin Blood Essence, and a Heaven Tier Xuan Artifact.
When the fight started, it attracted the attention of the forces nearby. The news about the Tomb of the Dragon King spread quickly. The Bai Family sent someone to investigate and confirmed that it was the legendary Tomb of the Dragon King.
However …
It was inevitable that the families outside the Northern Desert would find out about this. The Tomb of the Dragon King was located in the Cliff of Purgatory, right by the lake.
Therefore, this matter was ridiculous. The Thousand-island Lake could not be said to be within their sphere of influence, and the Heaven Martial Kingdom could not be said to be outside the Thousand-island Lake …
All the Families sent troops to guard the Thousand-island Lake. After some wrangling, nobody could win the case.
In the end, it was decided that after a month, all the parties would send people in. Whoever could obtain the treasures inside would depend on their own abilities.
The various clans sent people to probe and found a problem. The restrictions here were too strong. They reckoned that the Dragon Emperor had personally set them up.
Only young people under the age of twenty could enter. If they forced their way in, the Tomb of the Dragon King would explode and turn into ashes.
The Families speculated that this was done on purpose by the Dragon Emperor. He wanted to find a successor to inherit his orthodoxy.
Madam Yan explained. The last sentence made Lu Li's eyes light up. Did it mean that everyone who went in would have a chance?
Dragon Emperor!
How much wealth and treasures did the unparalleled Overlord of the Northern Desert ten thousand years ago have?
He could easily get a purple Golden Chariot, a drop of Origin Blood Essence, and a Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact.
How many treasures could he have if he could get the legacy of the Dragon Emperor?
How much wealth?
How many powerful Xuan Skills could he get?
Lu Li only had the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill. It was not that he didn't want to learn it, but many high rank Xuan Skills could not be bought.
All the Families used them to protect their families. How could they sell them?
The Xuan Skills that could be bought were all of low rank. Lu Li had been focusing on improving his realm recently, so he didn't want to waste his time on them.
What Lu Li wanted the most on this trip to the Heaven Prison Island was to resolve the scores with the Bai Family. If he couldn't, then he would have to bring his people into the small world to cultivate.
If the Overlord of the Thousand-island Lake was bent on going against him, any force would have to wait for death.
The Bai Family wouldn't even give him anything to use against him. They would kill him quietly.
The million Xuan Crystals that were stolen from Patriarch Seven, needless to say, must have been done by Bai Xiashuang.
As soon as he entered the auction house, Bai Xiashuang came. She forcefully bought his things and left Lu Li speechless …
Therefore, Lu Li didn't reject Madam Yan's invitation to negotiate. The three conditions were not too much.
The second condition had been fulfilled. The first condition was to sell the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots exclusively to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. Only the third condition needed further discussion.
Lu Li thought about it and said, "The first condition is fine, and the third condition is fine as well.
What I want to say is, if Lady Shuang or other young masters and young ladies are against me, I will leave immediately. "
"No problem. Deal!"
Madam Yan nodded and said without hesitation, "I will tell the rest to not go against you on purpose. Of course, they might not be nice to you. You just have to bear with it."
"It's a deal."
Lu Li reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with her to seal the deal. Madam Yan rolled her eyes at Lu Li.
This little guy was getting bolder and bolder. He wanted to take advantage of her in broad daylight.
Madam Yan patted him with her fair hand. Lu Li felt as if he was touching a piece of soft jade. It was a wonderful feeling. His heart skipped a beat.
He got up and walked out. After he got off the outdoor attic, he turned around and said, "Madam Yan, it is late. Rest early. I will leave now."
Madam Yan waved her hand with a smile. Chief Steward Bai walked out quietly. He took Lu Li to the Teleportation Formation and asked someone to send him back to the Heaven Prison City.
Chief Steward Bai didn't see Lu Li back in person. After Lu Li was teleported to the foot of the mountain, Chief Steward Bai went back to the outdoor attic and asked with confusion, "Madam, why are you so nice to this guy?
Is he really Lu Renhuang's son? "
"I am not sure if he is Lu Renhuang's son or not."
Madam Yan smiled gently. She held a cup and sipped the wine. She said, "But this is a dragon hiding in the abyss. Maybe one day, the dragon will roar to the sky. So... I have changed my mind. I want to make friends with him."
"Why do you want him to go to the Tomb of Dragon King?
You know Lady Shuang's temper. "
Chief Steward Bai sighed and said, "Maybe this guy has gone to the Tomb of Dragon King with Lady Shuang and will not come back this time."
"Whether he is a real dragon or a flood dragon, we will find out when we go to the Tomb of Dragon King."
Madam Yan looked to the north and said, "This time, all the geniuses of the Northern Desert will gather. All the Big Families will send their most talented disciples. If Lu Li can gain some advantage from those people, then it will prove that he is a real dragon.
If he is a real dragon, then he is destined to have a meteoric rise. He is worth our friendship.
If he is not a real dragon, then let him be the companion of the Dragon King … "
"I understand."
Chief Steward Bai nodded slightly. Lu Li's performance at the auction house tonight had made Madam Yan look at him with new eyes.
That being said, Madam Yan still wanted to test Lu Li's abilities. The Tomb of Dragon King was the best place for him to practice.
If Lu Li could make it, he could win Madam Yan's friendship.
