Chapter 572: Reclaiming West Dragon Island!

Zi Yan’s shout wasn’t especially loud, but in that instant, it made the souls of countless dragon clan members on West Dragon Island tremble violently. Her voice carried an irresistible pressure—a force that came from their very souls and bloodlines.

“A perfected royal bloodline!”

At that moment, most of the dragon clan experts on West Dragon Island froze, their faces turning pale.

They could clearly feel the blood in their veins beginning to boil. Driven by this sensation, many of them found it nearly impossible not to kneel in the sky.

“The true royal bloodline has fully awakened!”

“Greetings, Dragon Emperor!”

“Greetings, Dragon Emperor!”

Among the crowd, Xuan Mo, Zhu Mu, and other top experts of West Dragon Island did not kneel. They had long served under the West Dragon King, and even though they felt that overwhelming pressure deep in their souls and blood, they still resisted kneeling to Zi Yan. Yet, already, nearly thirty percent of West Dragon Island’s ancient dragon clan members had knelt to Zi Yan and were fervently calling out to her.

Those who submitted to Zi Yan were, for the most part, people who always longed for the unification of the Four Dragon Islands and deeply respected the Dragon Emperor’s lineage.

This wasn’t to say the remaining seventy percent didn’t respect the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline. Rather, they were suppressing the agitation in their blood because of the awe they held for the West Dragon King, whose authority had lasted for nearly a thousand years.

“You all!”

Seeing so many of their people kneeling to Zi Yan, Xuan Mo and Zhu Mu were both angry and speechless.

Meanwhile, from the vast spatial rift behind Zi Yan, nearly ten thousand elite dragon warriors continued to emerge.

Zi Yan and Qingshan both unleashed the full might of their late three-star Dou Saint cultivation without reservation.

“Two late three-star Dou Saints… West Dragon Island is in real trouble this time!” Sensing the overwhelming power radiating from Zi Yan and Qingshan, Xuan Mo was shocked. His eyes were fixed on a lone figure seated deep within the island.

“Why isn’t the West Dragon King appearing? Just the two of us can’t stop Elder Qingshan and the new Dragon Emperor from East Dragon Island!” Xuan Mo frowned and muttered to Zhu Mu beside him.

“The Dragon King was badly injured last time. Even if he shows up, it may not make a difference,” Zhu Mu sighed.

Just then, Zi Yan called out again from beyond the silver barrier: “All clansmen, listen! If you choose to return to the clan now, all past offenses will be forgiven. Those who committed serious crimes will face judgment, but punishments will be lighter, and after serving your sentence, you may still return to the clan…”

After Zi Yan finished speaking, more and more ancient dragon clan members on West Dragon Island began to waver—especially since the West Dragon King still hadn’t shown himself.

Without delay, Zi Yan led her nearly ten thousand elite East Dragon Island warriors through the vast silver barrier, arriving in the skies above West Dragon Island.

After she appeared, Xuan Mo and Zhu Mu didn’t order their clan to attack. The Dragon Armor Army remained still, awaiting orders.

Given this situation, some of the island’s powerful dragon clan members began to defect directly to Zi Yan’s side. The conditions she had offered were too generous—none involved a death sentence—so most couldn’t even find a reason to resist.

“Zhu Xi, if you come out now and admit your mistakes, this Emperor can still grant you leniency and spare you from the death penalty. After you serve your punishment, you can redeem yourself with merit!”

As more and more of the ancient dragon clan members on West Dragon Island switched allegiance, Zi Yan immediately announced a reduction in punishment for the West Dragon King. Even though he had committed serious offenses, his life would be spared.

Boom!

Just as Zi Yan finished speaking, an immensely powerful aura erupted from an ancient palace deep within West Dragon Island.

The figure that appeared was none other than the long-absent West Dragon King.

At this moment, although he still had the aura of a late three-star Dou Saint, his weakness was obvious. The once-overwhelming pressure of a Dragon King was nowhere to be found in front of Zi Yan.

“Zi Yan… no, Dragon Emperor—Dragon Emperor, is what you just said true?” the West Dragon King asked, a glimmer of hope in his voice.

“Of course it’s true! As long as you’re willing to admit your mistakes and accept some punishment, once your sentence is served, you can return to the clan!” Zi Yan answered without hesitation. Although the three Dragon Kings were indeed at fault, everything stemmed from the North Dragon King’s schemes. After making their mistakes, the West and South Dragon Kings could only keep going down that path. Before, even if they wanted to turn back, they were held back by the other two Dragon Kings. But now, with Zi Yan as their backing, the West Dragon King no longer needed to worry.

“Guilty dragon Zhu Xi pays respects to the Dragon Emperor!”

Having received the answer he wanted, the West Dragon King submitted to Zi Yan without hesitation. He could clearly see the situation: Zi Yan now possessed a perfected royal bloodline, awakened the ancient Dragon Phoenix bloodline, and her strength had reached the peak of three-star Dou Saint. In time, she was sure to become a peerless powerhouse—perhaps even achieving what the Old Dragon Emperor did in the past, suppressing the entire dragon clan alone and quelling any rebellious thoughts.

Even with his current strength, the West Dragon King couldn’t muster the will to resist. After the previous battle with Gu He, all three Dragon Kings were heavily injured. Now, with Zi Yan’s rise, there was no hope of victory.

The moment the West Dragon King surrendered, a shock ran through all the ancient dragons on West Dragon Island. Immediately, everyone dropped to their knees and kowtowed to Zi Yan.

“Greetings, Dragon Emperor!”

“Greetings, Dragon Emperor!”

“Greetings, Dragon Emperor!”

The sound of their devout worship resounded across the entire island.

Even Xuan Mo, commander of the Dragon Armor Army, and Zhu Mu, the Grand Elder—both of whom had been watching and weighing the situation—now fell to their knees in midair, expressing their loyalty to Zi Yan.

Seeing West Dragon Island submit and return to the clan without a single battle, Qingshan was so excited he could barely contain himself.

“Long live the Dragon Emperor!” Qingshan shouted.

“Long live the Dragon Emperor!”

“Long live the Dragon Emperor!”

The elite warriors of East Dragon Island behind Qingshan and Zi Yan were filled with joy to see their kin returning after centuries of separation—something they had all longed for.
