"Bai Feng, continuing to search like this is not a solution, why not first collect all the Dragon Transformation Objects, take away some of the Dragon Breed and legacy to plan for the future?"

The great hall of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was now fully occupied by the Chen Family’s Ancient Sorcerers, and upon the dais, several unwilling Yaksha were controlled by powerful techniques.

At this moment, these Yaksha had been drained of their sinews, their huge faces deathly pale, void of any blood, evidently, their blood had been drained to make blood essence stones!

The Yaksha now looked towards the surrounding Ancient Sorcerers with eyes full of fury.

How could they have imagined that these Ancient Sorcerers had long since prepared their methods and had dared to scheme against the Dragon Palace so long ago? How could they dare?

But the fact was that they had indeed succeeded in their scheme.

They had activated the secret mechanisms of the Dragon Palace at the moment of Dragon Transformation, capturing several Yaksha left in charge and forcing them to watch these lowly beings successfully transform into dragons and take complete control of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.

Chen Baifeng fell silent in response to his elder’s question.

The Chen Family’s group of ancient elders, with their deep and calculated planning, truly impressed him. The reason they could catch these Yaksha off guard was the accumulation of tens of thousands of years by the Chen Family.

Running errands for the Eastern Sea, earning its trust, and secretly nurturing craftsmen in great secrecy, they managed to let these skilled workers be discovered by other powers within the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, who then presented them to the aristocracy, participating in secret construction works.

The Chen Family carried out this infiltration with extreme caution, knowing that even a single slip could spell catastrophe, but under the stringent execution of the family, tens of thousands of years passed without a hint of leakage, covertly carrying out this infiltration that may never bear fruit.

The skilled craftsmen, raised in secret since childhood, married and had children normally, were discovered by the Dragon Palace as usual, participated in the secret construction works of the Dragon Palace as usual, and were normally silenced, becoming bones at the bottom of the sea within the Dragon Palace.

However, intelligence was slowly accumulating. Because of excessive caution, only craftsmen with a one in ten million certainty were sent to infiltrate, unable to guarantee that every craftsman would take part in the core of the construction works.

But as long as infiltration continued, as long as caution was maintained, over time, many mechanisms within the Dragon Palace would eventually fall under the family’s control. This became the key for the Chen Family to turn the tables earlier.

By taking control of the secret mechanisms, they managed to kill a few negligent Yaksha at a critical moment, seizing control of the Dragon Palace in one fell swoop.

This outcome was beyond Bai Feng’s expectations, as well as those of the Chen Family ancestors, who had conspired for hundreds of thousands of years.

This hidden checkmate had such an effect.

Of course, this had everything to do with the interrupted revival of the Dragon Palace.

The Chen Family had originally not dared to even consider controlling the entire Dragon Palace—while they had the ambition, they lacked the strength.

Controlling the mechanisms was merely to buy time, allowing more family members to undergo Dragon Transformation.

As long as there were enough Dragon-Transformed members, according to the rules of the Dragon Clan, the Chen Family would definitely become the aristocracy of the Eastern Sea!

Yet they had not anticipated such an opportunity would present such a grand harvest!

"Elder ancestor, this opportunity is rare, it’s truly a pity to give up..." Chen Baifeng couldn’t help but say.

The Chen Family had now successfully performed Dragon Transformation on twelve Dragon Breeds, mostly of the lower tier, but there were also quite a few of the higher tier, including three top-tier Dragon Breeds, and even one Dragon King Breed, far exceeding the initial estimates of the Chen Family.

With this scale, becoming the aristocracy of the Eastern Sea was well within reach!

However... this achievement, compared to taking over the entire Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, was but a drop in the ocean...

"Bai Feng..." An ancient voice resonated, a dragon that seemed as if carved from ancient wood coiled around above the hall, speaking patiently and gently, "You are very exceptional, even in our era, you would be among the best of the best. It’s normal to have such ambition, but you must restrain your ambition! "

"Why has our Chen Family survived for so long? What is our principle?"

"The continuation of the family is above all else!" Chen Baifeng declared firmly.

"Exactly!" the ancient voice said with satisfaction, "This world is very dangerous, hence the more it is so, the less one must rush for success. One must have patience, to move slowly, I know this opportunity is rare, but the risk is also great. Others may not know, but we are clear that the Dragon Palace has a fail-safe mechanism; if the Dragon Palace does not revive within three days, the Great Formation of the Dragon Palace will drain the blood of several elders to replenish the Dragon King’s blood for his revival! "

"If we can find the Dragon King and several elders before that, and destroy the Great Formation, then naturally we may consider that move.

But now... there are only six hours left before the activation of the Dragon Palace Great Formation, and to keep gambling at this time would be gambling with the fate of our family! "

Upon hearing the words, Chen Baifeng’s face flickered between shades of light and dark, mainly because the opportunity this time was simply too good...

The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, the head of the myriad water tribes, countless treasures and legacies, obtaining these, the Chen Family could truly become one of the masters of this world!

"Our gains are already very good now!" Another aged voice remarked, "Over a dozen dragon breeds, if we can take some treasures and inheritances as well, the foundation of our Chen Family shall increase over a hundredfold, no? Staying away from this whirlpool and returning after the incident concludes, the Dragon Palace will acknowledge us, ascending to the ranks of the true nobility isn’t too shabby either! "

"The ancestors speak the truth..." Chen Baifeng sighed, "In that case, let’s follow the ancestors’ will!"

"Good!!" A few old voices all sighed with relief.

It wasn’t that they were truly so patient with a junior; it was because... Chen Baifeng had succeeded in inheriting the Eastern Sea Dragon King Breed!!

For these old fellows, it was indeed an unexpected joy; they had never thought that their own family would have such a promising descendant, who had actually made it!

The Dragon King Breed, back then it had less than a fifteen percent chance of success; the elders were not optimistic, advising him in every way, but he still chose this path. One had to admit that the young people of today really dared to risk their lives...

Seeing Chen Baifeng compromise, the older generation was utterly satisfied.

The Eastern Sea Dragon King Breed naturally possessed the talent of Qianluo Threads, extremely precious.

They knew that back when the Dragon Palace dominated the four seas, every ten thousand years, the forces from the other three seas would come to seek marriage with a Dragon Maiden of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, precisely for this unique Qianluo Threads talent.

With each additional Dragon Maiden from the Eastern Sea that went over, the aquatic environment in the other three seas would improve somewhat; this was a matter of fundamental depth!

It is said that in those years, the outstanding Dragon Sons of the three seas fought over the Dragon Maidens from the Eastern Sea, bloodied their heads, and there were even instances of deaths in battle, showcasing the preciousness of the Eastern Sea dragon breeds.

And this child of their own, was a male!

A male Dragon Breed, an existence that could sow seeds for the Eastern Sea!

How could the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace not acknowledge such a seedling? It was almost certain that as long as the Dragon King stabilized the situation, the Chen Family... would definitely become one of the top nobilities of the Eastern Sea!

Facing the elders’ satisfaction, Chen Baifeng smiled wryly and helplessly.

He actually understood the elders’ thoughts as well; these older generations had served the Dragon Clan for hundreds of thousands of years, with an ingrained servility, becoming nobility of the Dragon Palace might already be the pride etched in their very bones, which is why they would easily give up on this hard-earned opportunity.

But could it really be so simple?

Chen Baifeng always felt it wouldn’t be that straightforward, having sensed a familiar aura inside the Dragon Palace. It was the trace of Liu Yu, the Flying Star from the state of Song!

He had always suspected that guy wouldn’t die so easily, and unexpectedly, he appeared here.

Since that guy had shown up, he must be plotting some substantial scheme. Chen Baifeng always felt that if he were to withdraw now, it probably wouldn’t lead to the result the ancestors had in mind!

Not to mention that someone surnamed Gu was also nearby.

Having searched most of the Dragon Palace without finding him, he definitely must be plotting something too; that guy’s level of danger was in no way inferior to Liu Yu’s, and he was completely loyal to that person of the Siao Family!

He did not believe the Emperor and the monster behind him did not have their designs on the Dragon Palace. If they were allowed to proceed, could he and his people... really come out unscathed?
