Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1969

"WHAT?! YOU GAVE OUR FAMILY HEIRLOOM TO HIM?!" Binglan exclaimed with a horrified expression after hearing Jiao Zhenhai's explanation.

It wasn't just Jiao Binglan. Jiao Xuanbing and the others were also just as shocked. None of them could've expected Jiao Zhenhai would be willing to part with their family heirloom.

"I understand your feelings, but what use is our family heirloom if our clan is destroyed in the process of trying to protect it? Moreover, we will receive the Immortal Monarch's blood! This is a blessing none of you can even begin to fathom!" Jiao Zhenhai said.

"The Immortal Monarch's blood?" Binglan and the others turned to look at Yuan with suspicious gazes.

Yuan smiled back and said, "Thank you for letting me consume the Tear of the Azure Heavens. Here is the Immortal Monarch's blood, as promised."

Before coming out of the treasury, Yuan collected several drops of his blood and stored them in small glass vials.

He retrieved a wooden box and handed it over to Jiao Zhenhai, who accepted it with trembling hands.

Jiao Zhenhai wasted no time opening the box the moment it was in his grasp, and sure enough, there were six vials resting inside, just enough for him and his children.

"The Mystic Sea Dragon Clan will arrive in two weeks. We need to absorb this to strengthen ourselves before then." Jiao Zhenhai handed a drop of the Immortal Monarch's blood to each of his children.

"T-Thank you, Senior Envoy!" Jiao Xuanbing bowed to him. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Yuan shook his head and said, "No, you don't need to thank me. I didn't give it to you for free. It was an exchange."

Jiao Zhenhai and the others wasted no time and went to absorb the Immortal Monarch's blood.

Meanwhile, Yuan asked around about the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan.

"Who are the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan?" Yuan asked the first person he came across.

"They've been long-time rivals of the Azure Dragon Clan since ancient times, as both possess the power to command the waters. However, the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan has been adapting more ice-attribute techniques lately."

"The Azure Dragon Clan and the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan have clashed many times before, but never with stakes this high. Until now, their conflicts were little more than skirmishes."

"I see… What about the Clan Leader's wife? What about the rest of his family?" Yuan then asked about the Azure Dragon Clan's situation.

"The Mistress died trying to defeat the intruder who tried to take away our family heirloom many thousands of years ago. As for the others… while they're not dead, they all left the Azure Dragon Clan long ago to look for a cure for the curse. However, the Clan Leader should've already notified them of the situation, so they should be heading back here as we speak."

"I see…" Yuan mumbled.

Hearing that the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan has been learning ice-attribute techniques made it very clear why they wanted the Tear of the Azure Heavens—the Heaven-Chilling Ice Phoenix's heart.

"Truly?!" Jiao Zhenhai gasped. Before he could take a single step, two figures appeared before him—a middle-aged man and woman, both bearing the unmistakable traits of the Azure Dragon Clan.

"Father! Mother! You made it back in time!" Jiao Zhenhai hurried to greet them.

Although their reinforcement was only two individuals, they were both powerhouses at the God Ascension realm, and Jiao Zhenhai's parents.

"We rushed back immediately after receiving your emergency contact. What is the situation right now?" asked the middle-aged man.

"The Mystic Sea Dragon Clan will arrive in less than a week," said Jiao Zhenhai. "Allow me to keep you up to date for now."

Over the next several hours, Jiao Zhenhai recounted everything to his parents—from their fateful encounter with Yuan to how he had resolved their crisis. He made no attempt to conceal the fact that he had traded away their family heirloom in exchange for Yuan's help and the Immortal Monarch's blood.

By the time he finished, both of his parents were trembling—not from rage at the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan, nor from the loss of the heirloom, but for an entirely different reason.

"You little brat! How dare you only ask for enough Immortal Monarch's blood for your children and yourself?! What about us, your own parents?! Have you already forgotten about us in such a short time?!" His father stood up and roared angrily.

His mother expressed similar complaints.

In other words, they were angry about being left out of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
