As the light curtain shattered, Elder Zitian's body shook violently, and he threw himself directly on the stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His face instantly turned extremely pale.
The whole person seemed to have collapsed suddenly, lying on the stone wall, motionless.
"Elder Zitian!"
About a moment later, bursts of shouting suddenly came from outside.
However, Elder Zitian seemed to be in a coma and had no reaction at all.
"Elder Zitian?"
The shouting outside came again.
Elder Zitian still didn't respond.
"Elder Zitian!"
The people outside who were shouting did not stop, they were still shouting.
And, he kept shouting no less than ten times.
However, Elder Zitian never responded at all.
Weng!
The next moment, the light flashed at the entrance outside the cave and disappeared.
Then, a figure broke in.
"Elder Zitian!"
The figure that broke in looked very anxious and rushed directly into the cave.
Looking carefully, the figure who broke into the cave was none other than Jin Chongming.
After Jin Chongming looked around anxiously, he stared at the location of the stone wall, and came to Elder Zitian who was still lying on the stone wall.
brush!
Immediately, Jin Chongming moved, stepped over, and came to Zitian's side.
"Elder Zitian!"
Jin Chongming supported Elder Zitian and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, I won't die for the time being!"
Although Elder Zitian's body did not move, he still answered Jin Chongming.
However, the voice sounded very weak.
However, after hearing Elder Zitian answer him, Jin Chongming felt slightly relieved.
However, when he reached the shattered light curtain on the stone wall in front of Elder Zitian, his expression changed again.
Shocked, he asked, "Elder Zitian, did you just use the 'Soul Shadow Light Screen'?"
The Soul Shadow Light Curtain is a light curtain that only exists in the Soul Guarding Hall.
In this light curtain, only a few people's souls and blood shadows will remain.
The so-called 'soul blood shadow' is the combination of soul essence and blood.
People who can keep the 'soul blood shadow' in the Soul Guarding Palace are generally dragon elder level figures.
Only characters of this level are qualified to retain the 'soul blood shadow' in the Dragon Clan's Soul Guarding Hall.
Because, once these levels of dragon clan dignitaries die, this 'soul blood shadow' will become their last bloodline left in the dragon clan.
It is also the final soul imprint.
It is the ‘Guardian Dragon Soul’ used to protect the Dragon Clan’s cemetery and Soul Keeping Hall.
Of course, in addition to this function, 'Soul Blood Shadow' also has another function.
That is used to determine the survival status of the survivors.
For example, the previous generation patriarch Long Tiansheng.
The Dragon Clan has been able to confirm that the previous generation leader Long Tiansheng has died, but the 'soul blood shadow' belonging to Long Tiansheng is still in the 'soul shadow light curtain' and cannot be moved. This shows that Long Tiansheng's soul is still alive.
Didn't dissipate.
In other words, he still has inheritance left outside.
This is also the reason why the Dragon Clan has never established a new leader.
It was obvious that Elder Zitian in front of him used this 'Soul Shadow Light Screen' to determine the 'survival status' of a certain dragon clan figure.
However, as far as Elder Zitian's bloodline is concerned, the characters he can determine can only be of the 'Purple Dragon' lineage, or from the Purple Dragon lineage downwards.
"The 'Soul Shadow Light Screen' is broken, which means that with your strength, Elder Zitian, you are unable to detect the situation over there."
Jin Chongming said with a solemn expression, "Or maybe..."
At this point, Jin Chongming stopped and said nothing more.
Instead, he turned to Elder Zitian.
"well……"
This time, Elder Zitian did not answer.
Just sighed slightly.
Seeing this situation, Jin Chongming's expression changed and he quickly asked, "Did something really happen to the Sixth Elder and the Fourth Elder?"
Hearing this, Elder Zitian frowned and asked, "Did something happen to the Sixth Elder as well?"
"I don't know if something happened, but I feel that his soul aura suddenly became much weaker."
Jin Chongming replied solemnly, "It is also because of this that I came to find you. I hope that with your soul imprint, the Sixth Elder can confirm the Sixth Elder's situation."
Upon hearing this, Elder Zitian pointed to the end of the cave and said, "Help me over."
Jin Chongming nodded immediately, and then helped Elder Zitian to the end of the cave.
At the end of the cave, there is a light mirror.
Elder Zitian bit his finger and dripped blood on the light mirror.
Then, a ray of light flashed across the light mirror.
Then, Elder Zitian's palm was pressed on the light mirror.
About a moment later, seven figures appeared one after another on the light mirror.
Of these seven figures, except for the clear figures of the second elder Jin Tiandong and the third elder Hei Qiyu, the figures of the other five are very blurry.
Of course, it is just a little blurry, and there is no ghosting or simply disappearing.
If a ghost appears, it means that the other party has died, leaving only the soul.
If it disappears directly, it will be a complete fall.
Now, at least it means that the five elders are still alive.
"call!"
Seeing this situation, Jin Chongming also breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the Sixth Elder and the others are still alive."
"It is true that he is still alive, but..."
Elder Zitian frowned, then shook his head slightly and sighed, "It may be difficult to come back."
"..."
Jin Chongming's expression changed slightly, "Elder Zitian, what do you mean by this?"
Elder Zitian did not answer, but asked, "Do you know where they went?"
Jin Chongming shook his head and replied, "I don't know exactly what kind of place it is. I only know that it is the lower realm."
"What kind of place is the Nether?"
Elder Zitian said, "The lower realm is a world that we are not familiar with, but we do know one thing. Once we enter that world, we will be affected by the power of rules and be greatly restricted."
"Back then, after the clan leader and his gang passed by, they fell."
"Now, the Sixth Elder and the others went there again, and something happened again."
"What do you think is the chance of them coming back?"
Jin Chongming did not answer, but his face looked very troubled.
He knew very well what Elder Zitian meant by his words.
With the strength of the clan leaders, they cannot come back, let alone the Sixth Elder and the others?
You know, last time, the clan leader brought some of the strongest guardian elders around him.
The strength of those guardian elders, any one of them, is much stronger than the seven elders.
Naturally, it may be impossible for the seven elders to come back alive.
"From this world to entering the lower world, we need to pay a certain price, and we also need to prepare the 'Star Boundary Stone' to stabilize the interface."
Elder Zitian said again, "If that thing is used in this world, it can stabilize the interface and allow them to travel, but when they go to the lower world, can they exert the power of the 'Star Boundary Stone' to the same extent?
It’s something else to say.”
"Now, he is seriously injured again."
"Even if they are lucky enough to survive, I guess it will be difficult for them to come back."
Having said this, Elder Zitian sighed deeply once again, "Oh, come on, this catastrophe for our dragon clan is inevitable."
"Elder Zitian, is there anything we can do?"
Jin Chongming said with a troubled expression, "If something happens to the seven elders, we can't just sit and wait for the catastrophe to come, right?"
"What can be done?"
Elder Zitian shook his head helplessly and sighed, "We don't even know what that catastrophe is. What do you think we can do to prevent it?"
"..."
Jin Chongming fell silent again.
Yes, I don’t even know what kind of catastrophe it was.
I don’t know when the catastrophe will come, and how to prevent it?
"Who is your cousin?"
Suddenly, Elder Zitian turned to Jin Chongming and asked again, "The Sixth Elder handed him over to you and asked you to bring him to me. Have you ever confessed to him?"
"No!"
Jin Chongming shook his head.
"It's now like this, aren't you still willing to tell me the truth?"
Elder Zitian frowned and said, "You have to understand that once the Sixth Elder and the others are unable to come back, the only one who can help you is me."
"Only I am qualified to unite with the other two elders of the Soul Guarding Hall to speak out."
"We are the only ones who can invite the Great Elder."
"If you don't tell me this person's secrets, then it will be difficult for me to do anything to help you."
Hearing this, Jin Chongming was stunned.
Then, he looked at Elder Zitian strangely and asked, "Elder Zitian, you... can you help me?"
"if not?"
Elder Zitian asked, "Are you still counting on Jin Kongxiao to help you?"
"..."
Jin Chongming was stunned for a moment, then immediately explained, "Elder Zitian, I have nothing to do with Jin Kongxiao. I..."
"Whether you are related or not, would I not know?"
Elder Zitian frowned and said, "Although I don't go out often and don't take care of things very much, it doesn't mean that I don't understand the situation outside."
"There are some things that we won't know unless you tell us."
"In fact, we are actually watching the entire dragon clan's affairs, no matter how big or small."
"The soul-guarding elders of the three factions are also connected, and each has its own territory."
"The reason why we don't care is because it's not the time when we have to take care of it, so there's no need for us to intervene haphazardly."
"But it's different now."
"If something happens to the seven elders, in other words, once the seven elders are confirmed to have died, our dragon clan will inevitably experience turmoil."
"When the time comes, there will definitely be a big chaos."
"Maybe, before the disaster comes, our dragon clan will be finished."
"So, if the time comes, we will definitely intervene."
"Naturally, we also need to determine some situations and not allow unexpected situations to happen."
After a pause, he added, "Take the matter between you and Jin Kongxiao as an example. You think you keep it a secret very well, but in fact we all know it very well."
"Although we don't know which side you are loyal to, we do know that your heart is towards the Dragon Clan."
"This time, when there was a problem with the Sixth Elder, you came to me immediately instead of going to Jin Kongxiao. This further proves this point."
"That's why I'm telling you so much."
"And now, I also hope that you can honestly explain to me who the cousin the Sixth Elder asked you to bring back is."
Hearing this, Jin Chongming was stunned again.
He really didn't expect that everything he did would be seen by others.
Moreover, he is still in the eyes of these people who have been in solitary confinement in the Soul Guarding Hall for many years.
This is simply...
At this moment, Jin Chongming felt a chill in his heart.
I was also secretly glad that I didn't do anything too outrageous.
If not, I'm afraid something will really go wrong.
"how?"
Elder Zitian asked again, "Still unwilling to say?"
"no."
Jin Chongming quickly shook his head and said, "Elder Zitian, let me tell you."
After a pause, Jin Chongming said, "According to the Sixth Elder, my cousin is a human from the lower world."
"This human being has entered the 'Dragon Burial Holy Land' and received the inheritance of our dragon clan there."
"So, I became half dragon and half human."
"I also learned some information about the Dragon Clan."
"Later, I entered the southern wilderness to find the place where the dragon clan is."
"Unintentionally, I met people from the Gray Dragon Clan, and also helped the Gray Dragon Clan resolve a danger of annihilation."
"Under such circumstances, he established a relatively trusting relationship with Ao Haixiong, the leader of the Gray Dragon clan."
"Then, Ao Haixiong brought him over."
"Also, we found Hong Xiu from the Red Dragon clan and asked Hong Xiu to find the Sixth Elder."
"After the two parties met, the cousin said that he wanted to obtain the inheritance of the dragon clan and completely become a member of the dragon clan."
"In order to obtain the information from the other party about the 'Dragon Burial Holy Land' in the lower realm, the Sixth Elder wanted to solve the crisis of the 'catastrophe', and he also went to find some information about our clan leader."
"So, I agreed."
After listening to Jin Chongming's words, Elder Zitian frowned.
Asked, "That's it?"
"This is what the Sixth Elder told me."
Jin Chongming replied, "I didn't dare to question the Sixth Elder, so I didn't ask any more questions."
Elder Zitian asked again, "Do you have any doubts in your mind?"
"have!"
Jin Chongming nodded and replied, "My cousin is very weird."
"First of all, his bloodline talent is very pure."
"But the strange thing is that the light accumulation shows that it has reached its upper limit."
Hearing this, Elder Zitian nodded and said, "This should have something to do with not getting the true inheritance of the Dragon Clan. Maybe, after this inheritance, there will be changes, and the upper limit should be higher, but,
