The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 950 - 951: The Overbearing Zi Ning
"Elder Zi Ning, as a family elder, you have dared to bring a bloodline hybrid into the Dragon Transformation Pond. You should know the consequences of such an action. Your son, being a bloodline hybrid, should be executed."
Elder Zixing said with a cold, stern voice.
"Elder Zixing, I do not agree with the notion of a so-called bloodline hybrid. No matter what mistakes I may have made, my son is innocent. He is now severely injured, his cultivation has drastically fallen, and only by entering the Dragon Transformation Pond can he recover. You can punish me, and I can accept that, but he is not a member of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan and should be exempt from punishment."
Zi Ning’s voice echoed throughout the entire Hualong Hall.
Logically speaking, Enforcement Hall Elders should not even come to Hualong Hall, let alone with the Deputy Master of the Enforcement Hall leading the way. There must be something fishy about this.
Elder Ziyang is a Supreme Level practitioner and also a fourth-generation figure. Even those from the punishment chambers might not dare provoke him. Plus, Elder Ziyang fabricated such a lie—only ancient beings living for thousands of years would know the true reason behind it, and it was impossible to delve deeper.
Now, with the Enforcement Hall’s Deputy Master, Elder Zixing, personally leading the enforcement elders to come, Zi Ning instantly guessed that she might have been secretly calculated against.
"Elder Zi Ning, it seems that the person who entered the Dragon Transformation Pond is the child you left in the Zone of Desolation back then, isn’t he?"
Seeing Zi Ning standing in front of the Dragon Transformation Pond, blocking their way to protect Ye Mo, Zixing shouted loudly. One could see layers of ice crystals shimmering around him, as if even space itself was frozen.
A wave of coldness pervaded the entire hall.
The men and women waiting for the results beside them strained to use their Xuan Aura to resist the chill.
These people were all waiting for the results of their children awakening their bloodline power, yet they didn’t expect to encounter such a situation. They stepped back a few steps, but there was also a hint of excitement in their hearts, for they knew a little about this family leader’s contest.
The father of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan’s youngest genius, Zi Aotian, Zi Long, in order to help his son compete for the next family head position, was making trouble for Zi Ning.
The best excuse, naturally, is the matter at hand.
"What child or not, that’s my son. I know you are deliberately targeting me. Tell me, is this Zi Long instructing you?"
Zi Ning said indifferently.
"No matter who instructed us, letting a bloodline hybrid enter the Dragon Transformation Pond is a major crime."
Zixing snorted coldly, slowly walking forward, coldness filling the air: "Your son entering the Dragon Transformation Pond is an insult to the family’s bloodline. Such guilt, it seems I must consult with the clan leader to determine it, and as for you, the originator of the sin, secretly bringing a bloodline hybrid into the Dragon Transformation Pond, you bear responsibility. I shall ask the Elders Council to strip you of your right to compete for the clan leader position."
"Strip me of my right to compete for clan leader?"
Zi Ning began to laugh coldly: "It seems you decided on this from the start, wanting to strip me of my right to compete for clan leader. By what means? Even if the Enforcement Hall Master came in person, he would not have the right to strip me of my competition right."
As she spoke, Zi Ning’s body quivered, a powerful aura burst forth, and around her body, six red dragon patterns hovered, as if six Ancient Azure Dragons coiled around her, radiating an awe-inspiring dragon might.
Instantly, a terrifying bloodline power spread out, causing the elders to continually retreat, even the water in the Dragon Transformation Pond began to boil rapidly.
"Six Paths Dragon Pattern!"
Watching the six red dragon patterns on Zi Ning, Zixing couldn’t help but show a trace of envy. Although he was a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner, he had only condensed four dragon patterns. Coupled with issues of talent, if it really came to a fight, he might not be able to defeat Zi Ning.
"One of the strongest bloodlines among the younger generation."
The men and women around saw the dragon patterns floating around Zi Ning and sighed with admiration. They could all feel the pressure emitted from the dragon patterns.
Condensing one more dragon pattern would exponentially increase the bloodline power.
"Besides the first five generations of clansmen, the only ones who could condense six dragon patterns, besides her, are the clan leader and another, Zi Aotian."
"Yes, but the clan leader’s seniority is far beyond theirs. Beyond that, condensing four dragon patterns is already considered a genius."
"Elder Zi Ning’s cultivation talent is extremely terrifying, coupled with such terrifying bloodline talent, many elders have high hopes for her. Even with past incidents, it ended without repercussions. I think today’s matter won’t sway Elder Zi Ning’s position."
"In the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, strength and bloodline are the ultimate power. Zi Aotian’s bloodline power, though strong, still falls short compared to Elder Zi Ning."
The crowd whispered among themselves, as bloodline power could intimidate anyone.
Even if a martial artist has cultivated to the Divine Venerate Realm, if their bloodline power is not strong, they won’t be greatly valued.
"I, Zi Ning, have condensed the Six Paths Dragon Pattern, melding space with Dragon Prison and mastering the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations. Even masters of the Divine Venerate Realm do not intimidate me. Before long, I will ascend to become a Divine Venerate, surpassing all elders in the clan. Pray tell, without my strength, who else is qualified to be the next clan leader?"
Zi Ning said proudly.
If Ye Mo were standing here, he would definitely be shocked. It was at this moment that Zi Ning was at her most formidable state, far surpassing the aura of the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm.
Moreover, when Zi Ning said these words, no one would call her arrogant or conceited, but rather viewed her with admiration, fear, and anger.
In the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, everything revolved around strength; there was no hereditary system. Only those with enough power were qualified to be the clan leader.
As for Zi Ning’s strength, no one present dared question it. In her youth, Zi Ning was adorned with too many rings of light; otherwise, she could not have become an elder before the age of forty.
"Elder Zi Ning!"
Zixing, despite being the vice hall master of the punishment chambers, was rendered humiliated by Zi Ning’s words. Hastily, he grabbed hold of an Ice Crystal Long Sword condensed from coldness and imbued with space power. With a swing, it reached Zi Ning’s front in an instant.
Zi Ning looked at the Ice Crystal Long Sword with indifference, her expression unchanged, as the Six Paths Dragon Pattern began to radiate a red glow. Waves surged into Qianqian-jade hands, and with two fingers, she instantly caught the Ice Crystal Long Sword.
With a crack, the sword that could so easily pierce through a Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations was snapped just like that.
One was a Divine Venerable One Soul, and the other was a Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations. In their casual skirmish, the disparity was evident.
"Elder Zixing, it seems your cultivation is still stalled."
Zi Ning said indifferently.
"If you are so confident, let’s have a duel so you can understand what it means to show respect to your elders."
Zixing ferociously flung his robe, his fighting spirit intense.
"Respecting elders and valuing teachers? I see it as relying on seniority."
Zi Ning mocked: "Since you want to fight, then all three of you come at once. Until Mo’er emerges from the Dragon Transformation Pond, don’t think you can take a single step closer."
"Elder Zi Ning, you are openly obstructing the Enforcement Hall’s duties. For the peace of the clan, I can no longer worry about saving face. I will hold her off, you two pull the bloodline hybrid out of the Dragon Transformation Pond."
"Yes!"
With a boom, three silhouettes rushed toward the Dragon Transformation Pond at the same time.
