Chapter 155: A Gathering of Monsters from Hundreds of Territories_2
A young man with handsome eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a cold demeanor spoke, and one could vaguely see two small protrusions on his forehead.
This man's background was also extraordinary; he could even be said to be one of the strongest individuals present, feared by all!
Dragon Sparrow Clan—Mo Chen!
No matter the race, possessing even a trace of true dragon bloodline, like the Chi Dragon clan, could make one extraordinarily notable.
And the true dragon bloodline in the Dragon Sparrow Clan was even richer than that of the Chi Dragon Clan, which proved the clan's extraordinariness!
Mo Chen's true dragon bloodline within him had reached a certain level, almost comparable to the top-ranked Dragon race; horns were about to emerge on his forehead!
Once these dragon horns truly emerged, it would signify that the true dragon bloodline inside him had reached a certain pinnacle, and then, he would undergo a transformation like never before, and could even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dragon race!
Thus, the entire Dragon Sparrow Clan, and Mo Chen himself, placed great importance on these dragon horns. Hearing that the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was opened, Mo Chen hurried over.
Because he had heard that there was an extraordinary fortune in the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, known as—Dragon Transformation Pool!
It is rumored that the ancient ancestor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, the founding emperor, had bathed in the Dragon Transformation Pool, leading to an elevation of his entire being and a transformation of his origin, thereafter possessing unparalleled potential, becoming a supreme power, establishing an impressive foundation in the spiritual realm, and founding the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.
Therefore, the Dragon Transformation Pool was of utmost importance to Mo Chen of the Dragon Sparrow Clan; it was his main goal this time!
"Brother Mo is right; that Gu Bai has just ascended the Dao Gold List, and each of us present has been on the Dao Gold List for a long time. A mere nobody thinking of marrying Princess Xidie; to me, he's just a connection-holder who would be nothing without Princess Xidie!"
Zheng Zhiyuan of the Zheng family spoke, echoing Mo Chen's words, looking to get on good terms with the Dragon Sparrow Clan.
On this point, no one present spoke out in objection.
After all, everyone here believed they were not lesser than Gu Chen.
Yun Zishu, seeing this, suddenly sensed the severity; these individuals, most likely, had certain designs on Princess Xidie.
The reason was not simply because of Princess Xidie's beauty; what prodigy or monster at this stage would be so superficial?
What they truly valued was the Holy Brilliance Dynasty!
After all, among the ten children of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, only Princess Xidie was most favored and closest to the emperor's heart. Even with their channels of information, they knew that if Princess Xidie were willing, the next ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was very likely to be her!
The interests involved were too great, too tempting for many to remain indifferent.
Not to mention, Princess Xidie herself stood out with her appearance, a flawless woman with no shortcomings, naturally attracting the attention of many.
"Brother Yun, you can still abandon the dark and come to the light. It's not too late, don't be obstinate," Zheng Zhiyuan from the Zheng family said with malice, still intentionally steering the conversation in that direction as he looked at Yun Zishu.
But Mo Chen of the Dragon Sparrow Clan spoke, his tone cold as he glanced at Zheng Zhiyuan, saying, "Enough, let's stop mentioning such an insignificant person. It's meaningless; let's discuss the situation of the ancestral land instead."
Being the elite of the Dragon Sparrow Clan, whose bloodline was almost reverting to its ancient purity and who had realized supernatural powers, Mo Chen naturally possessed his own pride.
He didn't see Gu Chen as an enemy; it was just that, being from the Huanxu Realm, how could he keep obsessing over someone from the God Transformation Realm?
It didn't match his status.
"Brother Mo's lesson is well taken.," Seeing Mo Chen speak, Zheng Zhiyuan quickly agreed, his tone and attitude making a 180-degree turn from how he treated Yun Zishu.
"He really is a good lackey," Liu Qi telepathically sneered to Yun Zishu, somewhat disdainful.
Yun Zishu, seeing this, just shook his head, beginning to worry about Gu Chen.
...
On the other side, after Gu Chen returned to the Moon Fairy Tower, he began to meditate with his eyes closed.
However, as night fell and it grew late, someone suddenly knocked on his door.
"Hmm?"
Gu Chen opened his eyes and saw a strikingly handsome man with a regal appearance and an elegant demeanor standing outside his door.
"Who is this person?"
Gu Chen was puzzled, wondering if this was another troublemaker.
The next moment, with a creak and without Gu Chen's permission, the man pushed the door open and entered.
"Who are you?" Gu Chen asked.
The visitor didn't speak, but instead looked Gu Chen up and down and clicked his tongue, "The appearance is indeed fine, seems capable of utterly bewitching my tenth sister. However, compared to me, you still fall a bit short."
Hearing the man's narcissistic comments, Gu Chen couldn't help but frown.
But quickly, he keenly caught the words "tenth sister" mentioned by the stranger.
"The Ninth Prince?" Gu Chen blurted out, recognizing the identity of the handsome man.
Correct, the one appearing before Gu Chen was indeed the Ninth Prince who had informed Princess Xidie of Gu Chen's troubles.
And he was Princess Xidie's full brother; the two were siblings.
Seeing that Gu Chen had recognized his identity, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but nod slightly and said, "It seems Xidie and Yun Zishu have already told you a lot of information, your reaction is quite quick."
Gu Chen raised an eyebrow at these words; what did this have to do with reaction? Wasn't it the prince who had revealed his own identity?
This Ninth Prince indeed seemed different from the Second Prince he had met before, at least, so far, he wasn't as sinister and was much more straightforward.
"Here you go!"
Saying this, the Ninth Prince suddenly extended his hand and tossed something to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen could see clearly; it was an ancient-looking stone talisman. After sensing no danger, he immediately caught it.
"Quite bold, not even checking it, aren't you afraid I might harm you?" the Ninth Prince teased, casually finding a chair to sit on and pouring himself a glass of wine.
Even though Gu Chen's room at the Moon Fairy Tower was a standard one, the establishment's status was evident, as even the most basic room was extremely expensive and fully equipped.
"Not bad, tolerable," the Ninth Prince commented after sipping the wine and gently shaking his head.
Given his status, the beverages he usually drank were undoubtedly superior to the basic offerings of the Moon Fairy Tower.
"Are you very poor, why not stay in a better place?" he asked straightforwardly.
Gu Chen ignored him, instead holding up the stone talisman and asking, "What is this?"
"This," the Ninth Prince said with an indifferent expression, "you can give it back to me if you don't want it. This is the key to entering the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty."
