"You are the future of the Dragon Clan, and also the hope for the Dragon Clan's future. Whether the Dragon Clan can completely escape the fate of being sealed depends entirely on you."
"Jin Ye will be the new Dragon King from now on. After you leave, I will close Dragon Island and seal the entire Dragon Island. You will not need to return to Dragon Island in the future..."
The old Dragon King explained a lot, then asked Zhou Yan to summon his territory. Facing Zhou Yan, he said, "The future of the Dragon Clan is now in your hands."
"Don't worry, I will not fail the Dragon Clan," Zhou Yan replied.
"Father..." Jin Ye didn't know what to say. He had many things he wanted to say, but he couldn't utter a single word now.
"Go," the old Dragon King sighed.
Zhou Yan's territory appeared. One by one, the dragons were invited by Zhou Yan to join his territory. They all entered the territory and became a part of Zhou Yan's territory.
Finally, the old Dragon King summoned all the continents belonging to the descendants of the Dragon Clan, transformed them into secret realms, and handed them over to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan sent these secret realms, where the descendants of the Dragon Clan resided, into his territory, making them a part of it. This way, if the territory needed dragon mounts or dragon pets in the future, they could directly find them in these places.
Zhou Yan's territory transformed into a beam of light and left Dragon Island.
The entire Dragon Island turned into a beam of light and was completely sealed by the old Dragon King. The outside world could no longer find Dragon Island, nor could anyone enter it, unless Zhou Yan and the others completely lifted the dragon clan's seal.
"I have been away for a long time, it's time to go back." After Zhou Yan teleported his territory to a certain area of the Myriad Realms Territory Continent to mine materials, he returned to the Canglan Continent.
Zhou Yan teleported to the core of the deep sea where the Canglan Continent was located again. He looked around before leaving. The energy here could no longer cause him any harm.
After leaving the deep sea core, Zhou Yan flew towards the Divine Dragon Kingdom.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
Near the high seas, Zhou Yan saw a series of cannon fire erupting from the sea surface, as if several ships were attacking each other.
Zhou Yan saw that one of the ships seemed to belong to the Divine Dragon Kingdom and was being attacked by several other ships, appearing to be on the verge of destruction.
Zhou Yan looked at the flags on those ships and suddenly realized that these ships' markings were from those who had chased him before.
"Uncle Yang, how much longer until we reach the Divine Dragon Kingdom? When will our reinforcements arrive?" Hai Ning asked.
"Young Miss, our ship is severely damaged. The experts we sent out haven't returned for so long, and they probably won't. We might not make it back this time. You should use the scroll to teleport back quickly." Yang Yi said urgently.
"No, if I escape, wouldn't that be leaving you all here to die? We leave together!" Hai Ning refused.
"Young Miss, their target is the high-grade materials we have. As long as these materials are in your hands, it doesn't matter if we die. Hurry and leave. This scroll can only allow one person to leave. We don't care."
Yang Yi quickly handed Hai Ning a top-tier scroll that could allow her to escape.
"What exactly is in these materials that makes these people chase us so relentlessly?" Hai Ning asked.
"There are many materials that can be used to forge high-grade equipment, and even materials for forging pseudo-divine artifacts. They were all collected by our Hai family from other countries. I don't know who leaked this information, which is why they've been chasing us." Yang Yi replied.
"No wonder, they are materials that can forge pseudo-divine artifacts. These people want to kill us and seize the materials. We must send someone to investigate thoroughly. This matter must have been leaked from within our group."
Hai Ning knew that this matter was not that simple. There must have been a traitor within the group who leaked their whereabouts.
"Originally, we planned to transport these materials through the Lord's Continent, but the other party was clearly prepared. They restricted our entry into the territory from the beginning, which is why we had to transport them this way."
Yang Yi hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Seeing the approaching enemies, Yang Yi quickly said, "Hurry and use this scroll to leave. As long as the materials are safe, that's all that matters."
"But this..." Hai Ning was still hesitating.
"Hurry, child. How much capital did the group invest in these materials? If these materials fall into the hands of the enemy, our group might go bankrupt! You don't want to see your father's group go bankrupt because of this, do you?" Yang Yi said.
"I... alright..."
"Boom!"
At this moment, one of the pursuing enemy warships was suddenly struck by a terrifying blow, hit by a powerful energy, and split in half.
This sudden event surprised both sides, and they didn't know who it was.
"Uncle Yang, is this person our reinforcement?" Hai Ning asked hurriedly.
"Probably not, but not an enemy either. Let's see what happens," Yang Yi was also unsure.
The warships tracking the Hai family indeed stopped, but their targets were all focused on Zhou Yan. A voice came from one of the warships, asking, "Who are you, and why are you attacking us?"
Zhou Yan was extremely powerful, destroying one of their warships with a single move. Such terrifying strength made them hesitant to act rashly, and they could only first inquire about the situation.
"Which force do you belong to?" Zhou Yan asked. Although he recognized the markings, he was not sure of their exact identity or faction.
"We are from the Locke Pirate Organization. We should have no enmity with you. I hope you will leave now," the other party replied.
"So, it's just a pirate organization," Zhou Yan understood.
There were too many forces that had pursued him in the past, and Zhou Yan would definitely retaliate against them one by one. As for which forces had pursued him, for the [Heaven and Earth Library], this was not a problem at all.
Zhou Yan had long since noted down those forces in his heart. Seeing one of them this time, he would certainly not let them go.
Knowing their identity, he confirmed that this was indeed one of the forces, and said, "You are not leaving today. I will collect some interest from you first!"
Seeing Zhou Yan's intention to attack again, the other party immediately ordered, "Fire, fire, kill him!"
"Yes!"
The remaining warships quickly aimed their cannons at Zhou Yan and unleashed a barrage of fire.
"咻咻咻!!!"
The cannon barrels unleashed a dense volley of shells towards Zhou Yan in the air, but Zhou Yan paid them no mind. He unleashed a Tai Chi Yin Yang shield. As these shells approached the energy, they quickly changed direction and attacked their own warships.
