“Alright, enough talking!” Leonel’s voice boomed in the meeting hall.


    “Quiet down!” He pressed his hand down, silencing the room instantly.


    With a nk expression, Leonel spoke calmly and objectively, “Everyone, it’s too early to discuss this. We need to confirm whether this L really is the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon.”


    “Indeed,” Yin Tai Chi Chester nodded, refraining from argument this time.


    Just then, a figure walked in from outside. It was Gxie, the one in charge of arranging for L and also Leonel’s son.


    “Gxie, how is Leonel’s arrangements going?” Leonel asked, his eyes showing no emotion.


    “Everything is settled! Master Leonel, rest assured, Leonel’s amodations are well taken care of,” Gxie assured him.


    “Good. I will personally meet this young man, L, to confirm if he truly is the heir of the Dragon Ancestor,” Leonel nodded in satisfaction.


    Thest part was directed at Elder Fiery Dragon and Chester.


    As soon as the words fell, Elder Fiery Dragon furrowed his brows. He believed it was best to verify L’s identity immediately. He was eager to uncover the truth, a sentiment shared by many present.


    “Master, we gathered here today to discuss how to treat this Descendant of Dudrar Dragon. If we have to wait for his confirmation, why not go meet him now?” Yin Tai Chi Chester suggested with a grave tone.


    “Yes, why postpone it?”


    “Master, I believe now is the right time.”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    “I agree, the baptism of the Dragon Ancestor can begin at any moment! There’s no need for preparation to verify his identity.”


    The meeting chamber echoed with various voices one after another.


    Leonel hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gxie with a faint questioning look.


    Gxie gave him a slight nod.


    “Very well! Gxie, where have you arranged for L? Lead us there,” Leonel gestured.


    …


    The building was abandoned, tucked away in the back of Sun Moon Sect’s main structures. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the walls looked neglected.


    L frowned as he surveyed the surroundings. Was this where Elder Gxie had arranged for him to stay? What a disy of power by the Sun Moon Sect!


    He explored the area, discovering that it used to be a field for cultivating spiritual herbs. However, due to the depletion of spiritual energy in the Sun Moon Sect’s domain, the once flourishing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had withered, leaving the ce deserted.


    “It’s hard to believe that this ce was once a sect capable of rivaling the Orderwarden organization,” L sighed in wonder.


    As he was about to tidy up, feeling uncertain of how long he would be left here, a strange ripple suddenly appeared. It seemed as though a formation had been activated, restricting his senses.


    Realizing he was isted in the abandoned courtyard, with no one aware of the situation, a sense of unease engulfed him.


    Suddenly, five figures appeared around him, trapping him from all directions.


    L’s eyes narrowed. Nascent Soul cultivators. Five of them at the early stage.


    “Are you L, the so-called heir of the Dragon Ancestor?” the leader, a tall youth adorned in luxurious armor, mocked.


    “That would be me. And may I ask who you gentlemen are?” L responded, sensing their hostility.


    Laughter erupted from the group, mocking L for being just a Golden Core Realm ‘trash.’


    Feeling the intense animosity and murderous intent from the Nascent Soul cultivators, L knew there was no room for diplomacy. He readied his cial River Dragon Sparrow de and activated his Rich Soil Unyielding Form.


    “What’s the meaning of this? Do you intend to kill me?” he asked, his stare piercing.


    Dougie, the leader, sneered, “Kill you? Don’t tter yourself. We only want to test the strength of the so-called Descendant of Dudrar Dragon.”


    With weapons drawn, the tension in the abandoned courtyard escted.
