Dragon Blood King

0And it was precisely because of this that the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom was trying to guess whether Ximen Batian would agree to the Concubine Feng's request. Although Dragon Emperor had proposed the marriage in person, logically speaking, the Ximen Family Clan had no reason to reject it. On the surface, it was equivalent to laying down the clan's position of being second only to the imperial family. But in reality, the Ximen Family would also be restricted to the imperial family, and become the strongest force supporting Loong Ao. That way, there wouldn't be any power in the Holy Dragon Kingdom that would dare to oppose Loong Ao. Moreover, they wouldn't have the qualifications to object.    

    

On the other hand, if Ximen Batian didn't agree, then the imperial clan and the Ximen Family clan could very well go against each other. Loong Ao might even use this as an excuse to suppress the Ximen Family clan, or even weaken the forces of the Ximen Family clan.    

    

Therefore, the Ximen Family Clan, which looked calm and peaceful on the surface and was bustling with activity, had already been surging with energy in the shadows.    

    

At this moment, in the hall used specially by the Ximen Family Clan for their discussion, Ximen Batian, a few seniors and seniors of the Ximen Family Clan, as well as a few elders and some important members of the Ximen Family Clan, were also discussing in secret about the Consort Feng.    

    

"Patriarch, we definitely cannot agree to the Consort this time. If you agree, then our Ximen Family Clan will be under Loong Ao's control. From the looks of the half year that Loong Ao has become Acting Dragon Emperor, if Loong Ao takes control of our Ximen Family Clan, then it's bound to become even more severe …" An elder firmly raised his position.    

    

"You can't put it like that. If we agree to the marriage, we, the Ximen Family, can also lay our foundations for the clan, and rule over all the clans. Perhaps, we can even take this opportunity to annex other clans. Another elder said with some ambition.    

    

"..."    

    

As for the other Elders and elders, they all had their own opinions. However, it was clear that they did not have a conclusion.    

    

"Alright, calm down first." Ximen Batian waved his hand and said with a serious expression.    

    

Everyone immediately turned to look at Ximen Batian.    

    

"This time, Acting Dragon Emperor wanted to make Xue'er his concubine. Clearly, he wanted to consolidate his position as Dragon Emperor and use this as an opportunity to truly ascend to the throne. However, ever since the disappearance of his predecessor, Dragon Emperor, the actions of Loong Ao, who was Acting Dragon Emperor, had caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, including many disagreements among the royal family. However, since Loong Ao was decided by the Presbyterians of the Royal Family Council, he would not be disqualified unless several of the Presbyterians contested him. Therefore, Loong Ao was determined to establish his position in the royal family and become Dragon Emperor. And the decision of our Ximen Family will be the key to whether or not Loong Ao can become Dragon Emperor … " Ximen Batian analyzed.    

    

"But the Order has made it clear that it will not abolish Loong Ao's Acting Dragon Emperor, because no prince, except Loong Ao, is capable of taking Dragon Emperor's place. Loong Ao's style was unpopular, but his ability was unquestionable. Loong Ao had also received a lot of support from the Dragon Clan and so, after going to the Dragon Clan many times, his current strength was said to have improved by leaps and bounds. Even without the support of the Ximen Family, Loong Ao would have become Dragon Emperor sooner or later. So, if our Ximen Family Clan does not agree to the Consort this time, we will inevitably fall into a passive situation. "    

    

"If we, the Ximen Family, aren't even afraid of fighting Loong Ao, then there's no need for us, the Ximen Family Race to be afraid. Didn't Loong Ao send someone to go to the Ji Family not long ago to fetch the empress back, but he was rejected by the Ji Family. "Later on, he even gave the order to get married, and in the end, sent many experts. All of them were defeated by a mysterious person."    

    

"However, this Ji Family is truly bold. He actually openly wants to go against the Imperial Family …"    

    

"..."    

    

Everyone present began to discuss once again.    

    

"Batian, you are the head of the family, why don't you decide this yourself?" At this time, the oldest elder of the Ximen Family Clan slowly opened his mouth and called Ximen Batian by his name.    

    

"If we agree to the marriage this time, Ximen Family Clan might very well lose their autonomy, but if we do not, then our Ximen Family Clan may have to prepare for rebellion." Ximen Batian's gaze turned cold. Actually, he didn't want to make it to this step, but since his predecessor, Dragon Emperor, had gone missing and because he was Acting Dragon Emperor, he had to act according to his will. Thus, he knew that if he did not agree to this marriage, the Ximen Family family would have to rebel.    

    

Of course, with the Ximen Family Clan's power, conspiring against them was easy. The Batian Corps occupied a large area in the northwest of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.    

    

No matter what, the descendants of the Ximen Family could not betray the Imperial Family, so if Ximen Batian did that, it would be tantamount to going against the teachings of the ancestors and becoming the eternal sinner of the Ximen Family.    

    

Therefore, it was not easy for Ximen Batian to make such a decision.    

    

"Patriarch …" Everyone looked at Ximen Batian, waiting for him to say something.    

    

"Let me think about it again. You guys can go out first. " Ximen Batian waved his hand.    

    

Everyone else also left.    

    

Not long after, a delicate figure walked in. Seeing Ximen Batian's serious expression, it was obvious that he was considering the matter of the Consort.    

    

"Grandpa …" The delicate figure cried out.    

    

This delicate figure was Ximen Xue, and the current Ximen Xue, when she went to the Royal Tomb to pay her respects to Loong Xuan a year ago, was even more slender and beautiful than ever before, and her aura was actually close to the Mad God Stage as well.    

    

Of course, for Ximen Xue to reach the strength that neared the Mad God Stage at her age, it was absolutely impossible under normal circumstances. However, with the grandfather of a strong practitioner at the pinnacle of the Tyrant Sage Stage, there was nothing impossible about him. In the past year, Ximen Batian had not hesitated to wear out his Spiritual Energy, allowing Ximen Xue to increase her strength at the fastest speed. In addition, he did not know how much manpower and material resources he had spent, as well as all kinds of treasures that could increase the Spiritual Energy.    

    

"Xue'er, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be entertaining the guests in the front hall? " Seeing his granddaughter, Ximen Batian revealed a pampered expression.    

    

"Just looking at their faces, I can't take it anymore." Ximen Xue's haughty and delicate face revealed traces of displeasure, but also hints of coquettishness.    

    

"Then come and sit with grandpa for a while, grandpa has something to ask you." Ximen Batian smiled.
