Holy Dragon Totem

Chapter 2: Flame Dragon's Decree

Dong!

Dongdong! !

One day before the day of offering sacrifices to the gods, heavy drumbeats suddenly sounded in the sky above the Dajiang King City.

Every vibration made the ground tremble, and the noisy city suddenly became dead silent.

People knew that this was the "summoning order" of the Qilin royal family of the Dajiang Palace, summoning the five-veined Qilin royal family to gather at the "Dajiang Palace".

As for what happened, no one knew for the time being.

When the drumbeats rang out, Jiang Zizai, Lu Dingxing, and Ruo Xiaoyue had already returned to the Dajiang Palace.

Every heavy drumbeat was like a heavy punch, hitting Jiang Zizai's chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Purple Qilin Terrace.

This is an important occasion in the Dajiang Palace. In the past, it was a place where grand events were held and major events were announced.

This place is vast and boundless, with five tall flags erected around it.

Among them, on the central flag, there is an embroidered purple Qilin totem. The Qilin is surrounded by nine thunders, looking down on the sky, with vast divine power.

Although it is just a totem pattern, its momentum is enough to make people solemn and awed.

This is the faith totem of the Five Veins Kirin Royal Family, the ‘Purple Kirin Clan’!

The other four flags are the Fire Kirin, the Black Kirin, the Yellow Kirin, and the Golden Kirin.

The five Kirin clans, thunder is the most respected!

The current Purple Kirin King Jiang Yunting, his totem has evolved to the level of the ‘Nine Tribulations Heavenly Kirin Totem’, which is already the pinnacle of the Yanlong Dynasty.

The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Kirin Totem is one of the ‘Eight Super Totems’ of the Yanlong Dynasty, comparable to the ‘Yanhuang Holy Dragon Totem’.

In fact, there are only two people in the Yanlong Dynasty who have the ‘Eight Super Totems’, and the other six have not appeared for a long time.

That is, the current emperor ‘Yanlong Emperor’ and the Purple Kirin King of the Kirin Royal Family.

When the Purple Kirin King was young, he helped the ‘Yanlong Emperor’ win the throne, and then fought in the south and the north to expand the territory, and his achievements were unparalleled. He is upright and magnanimous, with strict discipline, and is highly praised.

Now that the world is peaceful, Jiang Yunting sits in the southern "Huangtian Pass" of the imperial dynasty to resist the southern "source beast" and protect the peace of the southern country.

For the people, King Zilin is a capable and loyal minister of his generation, who has done his best for the people of the world.

His halo is recorded in legendary works among the people. How could such a legendary and beloved existence go wrong?

Jiang Zizai is still at a loss.

On the Purple Kirin Stage, among many important figures of the Kirin royal family, stood a beautiful woman in palace dress.

She was dressed luxuriously, with a plump and slender figure, and a graceful and dignified appearance. She seemed to be gentle, but in fact, there was majesty hidden in her face, which made people feel awe.

But at this time, even she was as pale as paper, her red lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were more rosy.

She was Jiang Zizai's mother, Princess Ruohua.

When the Purple Kirin King was in charge of the Desolate Heaven Pass, she was in charge of all the affairs of the Great Jiang County.

Of course, she was also the woman that Jiang Zizai respected the most. Jiang Zizai's greatest pleasure on weekdays was to make his busy mother laugh.

But at this time, everything was different.

Beside Princess Ruohua, the strong and noble people of the Kirin royal family had arrived.

The Five Veins Kirin was divided into five mansions, with the Purple Kirin Mansion being the most respected.

The mansion masters and elders of the Golden Kirin Mansion, the Fire Kirin Mansion, the Yellow Kirin Fu, and the Black Kirin Mansion were all on the left and right of Princess Ruohua.

These high-ranking top masters all looked solemn at this time.

It seemed that they had heard the news, and under the solemn look, what was their mood, that was unknown.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Purple Kirin Platform.

At that position, there was a 'source beast' flying bird, holding a golden scroll that was ten times larger than its body.

That was the imperial edict from the 'Flame Dragon Emperor'.

Source beasts are a strange and powerful beast in this world. They are born from heaven and earth and share this world with all people.

This flying bird without feathers but with golden dragon scales is the source beast ‘pterosaur’ tamed by the ‘Flame Dragon Royal Family’, which is specially used for communication.

The imperial edict has come!

When the imperial edict opened by itself and burned with golden flames, a pressure like from heaven pressed down on everyone's head.

Everyone, as if a huge rock was on their head, had to kneel down to accept the imperial edict.

Jiang Zizai put away his past smile and trembled in his heart. For the first time, he felt the imperial power from the ‘Flame Dragon Royal Family’.

“Qilin Royal Family, accept the edict!”

In the eyes of the crowd, the golden flame scroll was quickly pulled open and spread out.

The golden flames burned on the surface of the scroll, reflecting everyone's face.

Suddenly, a golden figure appeared in the scroll, with a peerless imperial power, so that everyone could only bow their heads, or even crawl on the ground.

Although it was not the Flame Dragon Emperor himself, it was scary enough.

Jiang Zizai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He was a little unwilling, but he couldn't resist.

It's going to be announced!

Everyone was suffocating and waiting.

Sure enough!

The Flame Dragon Emperor's heavy, deep, and majestic voice surpassed the previous drum sound and shook the entire Great Jiang King City.

He said: "Last night, there was a drastic change in the Desolate Heaven Pass."

This sentence made Jiang Zizai's heart rise to his throat. He wanted to cough to relieve it, but found that he couldn't cough.

"My brother, Zilin King Jiang Yunting, has greatly disappointed me!"

Boom!

This was a huge uproar. Even the people outside couldn't breathe at this time.

"He actually betrayed the dynasty and the people, secretly communicated with the 'Xia Ming Kingdom', opened the 'Huangtian Pass', and attracted tens of thousands of ferocious source beasts to rush into the heartland of our dynasty. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured, and the mountains and plains were full of people, and the people were devastated!"

Boom!

It was like thunder, making an explosion-like sound above the Great Jiang King City.

Jiang Zizai's mind was completely blank.

Tens of thousands of ferocious source beasts rushed into the heartland of the dynasty, facing the unarmed people, a wanton massacre.

Wives and children were separated, and families were broken up.

Corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river!

Huangtian Pass is the first pass of the dynasty. If it were not for its important strategic location, how could King Zilin be in charge in person?

"There is solid evidence for this matter. Jiang Yunting did it, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the 'Qilin Corps' witnessed it with their own eyes."

"To this day, the soldiers of the Qilin Corps are still fighting with the source beasts at the border, and they have suffered heavy casualties!"

"And Jiang Yunting, after opening the Desolate Heaven Pass, has already defected!"

Jiang Zizai was of course the first one who didn't believe such an incredible thing.

His father was the role model he had admired and worshipped since he was a child. He was his belief. His integrity and heroism were the most valuable qualities.

He knew his father better than anyone else.

It was impossible for him to betray his country, let alone personally cause 100,000 deaths and injuries.

However, what the Flame Dragon Emperor said was that what he saw with his own eyes were all soldiers of Jiang Yunting's own Qilin Corps.

In addition, the Desolate Heaven Pass has been passed down for a long time, and the checkpoints are complicated. Only Jiang Yunting can open it...

Besides, if he didn't do it, why did he defect?

Jiang Zizai couldn't kneel down anymore. He sat on the ground and wanted to speak to speak up for his father, but at this moment even his tongue was trembling.

One hundred thousand people were killed and injured, and all the contributions of Jiang Yunting added up were not worth his faults.

His mind was extremely confused.

On one hand, there was solid evidence, and on the other hand, it was unbelievable.

Xia Ming Kingdom was to the west of Yanlong Dynasty, and the two countries had many disputes. Although Huangtian Pass was in the south, as long as it was broken, it would be equivalent to causing internal and external troubles for Yanlong Dynasty.

Moreover, Yanlong Emperor had ironclad evidence.

At this time, flames rose on the scroll, countless fireworks gathered together, and the smoke changed, forming a picture.

The towering wall in the picture was Huangtian Pass.

A purple figure blasted away the blocking generals, and personally took action to shatter the gate of Huangtian Pass from the inside.

Seeing it with his own eyes, it was really Jiang Yunting.

Jiang Zizai spit out a mouthful of blood with a puff, and he was already furious at this time.

However, he still shook his head, he didn't believe it.

His father was not like this, he was a peerless hero.

On the scroll, Emperor Yanlong snorted coldly and continued: "The Qilin royal family has assisted Yanlong for ten thousand years, and their merits are great. The matter of Desolate Heaven Pass has nothing to do with you. From now on, the Five Veins Qilin must purge the internal traitors, be upright, and thank the world with merits."

"As for Jiang Yunting, he has committed a capital crime, and I must arrest him personally."

"A big reward will be given to those who report his whereabouts."

"In addition..."

Emperor Yanlong lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Zizai's family as if he was looking at this place.

"Nan Wang's son Jiang Junjian, and the loyal and brave general 'Lu Yuan', are suspected accomplices. They have been escorted to 'Yanlongxu' to wait for conclusive evidence and beheaded on a chosen day!"

His beloved brother, and Lu Dingxing's father, that generous man, became criminals.

I still remember that when he was young, Jiang Junjian helped him to take the blame when he was naughty and made mistakes.

He always took my place, got beaten until his butt was red and swollen, but still told me seriously that it was because he, as the elder brother, failed to discipline me and should be punished.

And now, he wants to be executed on a chosen day.

"As for whether there are accomplices in the Great Jiang King City, I have also sent people to investigate!"

"I decree this!"

After the last two words, it was indeed over.

Everything about Jiang Zizai was also disrupted.

His father committed treason and heinous crimes, and his whereabouts were unknown.

The elder brother became a criminal and was executed on a chosen day.

In one day, the family changed dramatically.

Looking up, the imperial edict had disappeared, and the purple unicorn totem flag was still flying, but the sky was covered with leaden clouds and the sun was not visible.

It was as if there were several knives stuck in his chest, and blood was flowing down.

It was a kind of knife that could not be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.

The content of this imperial edict might be remembered for a lifetime.

Now, his mind was still blank, he stood up suddenly, glanced around, and found that most people were confused like him.

"Mother..."

When he saw the woman in the center, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Because he knew that she must be more sad and painful than himself, one was her husband, and the other was her son.

At this time, her face was pale and bloodless, like a withered flower, and her gray eyes looked at Jiang Zizai helplessly.

You can see her inner pain.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zizai felt even more pain in his heart. He suddenly hated himself so much at this moment that he couldn't share her pain.

At this time, the Great Jiang Palace was leaderless.

The faces of the palace masters of the other four veins of Qilin were also uncertain, and some even showed resentment.

I just don't know whether it was directed at the Purple Kirin King or the imperial edict itself.

The competition among the four veins of Qilin has existed since ancient times. It was because of Jiang Yunting that the Purple Kirin clan became the first palace in the past few decades.

Now, Jiang Yunting is ruined.

At this time, Princess Ruohua stood up and said, "Don't leave. Convene the 'Five Veins Conference' immediately. All palace masters and elders will attend the meeting. The rest of you will be dismissed!"

Once the imperial edict came out, everyone in the world knew about it. This matter could not be concealed, let alone blocked.

Jiang Zizai just felt more distressed for her. At this time, he had to pretend to be calm and stabilize the royal family. If she collapsed and made a fuss, the consequences would be disastrous.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

There are so many people in this world who take advantage of others' misfortunes.

No matter how tough she was, Jiang Zizai could see that she was shaking in her heart when she spoke.

"Mother..." Jiang Zizai walked forward.

"Go back to the mansion first, don't walk around, wait for mother to come back." Princess Ruohua smiled gently and said, "My child, don't worry, there must be a misunderstanding, mother will solve it. Don't worry."

She was still considering her feelings, but Jiang Zizai was no longer a child. He knew that this matter was probably irreversible.

King Zilin was away, and all important matters were handled by the Five Veins Conference. She had to deal with this situation urgently. After all, it was she who was supporting this family and Zilin Mansion.

Next, the Ziqilin stage was dispersed. Some left directly, and some went to attend the Five Veins Conference.

Lu Dingxing and Ruo Xiaoyue were left behind.

Although Lu Dingxing was such a big guy, his eyes were already red from crying.

Ruo Xiaoyue, the little girl, squatted on the ground and sobbed, like a flower wet by heavy rain.

"Boss, this is impossible! The king is not such a person! Brother Junjian and my father are not such people! Someone must have framed them! I'm going to Huangtian Pass to find the truth and clear their grievances!" Lu Dingxing gritted his teeth.

"Stop, go back to the mansion." Jiang Zizai took a deep breath.

He was one of the three men in the family, his father and his brother. Now that such a big thing happened, he knew that he couldn't mess around.

Invisibly, it seemed that all the burdens fell on his shoulders.

However, an hour before, he still had nothing to do and planned to listen to a little song.

"Boss! Are you afraid?" Lu Dingxing was anxious.

"You can't solve the problem, calm down first."

"Do you doubt the king?"

"I doubt you! That's my father! I don't know you as well as you do?"

Although Jiang Zizai is not a totem warrior, he has been around for a long time and has momentum. This shout finally calmed Lu Dingxing down.

"Xiaoyue, let's go back first, don't cry."

Jiang Zizai helped the little girl up with heavy eyes. He knew that he might not shed tears from today.

This life, from this moment, has changed dramatically.

"Brother, wow..." Ruo Xiaoyue couldn't help crying and wet his clothes.

Back to the mansion, it finally stopped a little.

The three of them waited for the return of Princess Ruohua. Maybe they could think of a solution at the Five Veins Conference.

"Boss, do you think the other four palaces will help us? They have been suppressed for so long, they wish we would fall earlier so that they can take the position themselves, right?" Lu Dingxing said with red eyes.

Jiang Zizai stroked Ruo Xiaoyue's head gently, looked at the goldfish in the pool, and said lightly: "That's right. Now the Flame Dragon Emperor means that we will not be held accountable to our Great Jiang Palace for the time being. It's only our father and brother who are in trouble. Their chance has come."

The four Qilin Palaces are not easy to deal with. After such a big thing, you can't see the pain in their eyes.

Now, let alone clearing the grievances for my father, it's not certain whether the Zilin Palace can still keep its position.

But at this time, Jiang Zizai can't change anything.

He can only struggle and feel depressed.

At this time, he really wants to be like his father and brother, and become the kind of person who can change adversity.

But God doesn't favor him!

Without the natal totem, he can only be a porter after training for a lifetime, and at most his muscles will be a little stronger.

Lu Dingxing said worriedly: "According to the rules of the dynasty, if, if brother Junjian and the king cannot clear their grievances, you will inherit the throne in the end, but you must wait until you reach the 'holy body realm'. However, if you do not get the natal totem during the last worship of the origin pillar tomorrow, you will not be able to reach the holy body realm at all. At that time..."

The holy body realm is the third major realm of cultivation. Jiang Junjian, a peerless genius, has reached this realm at the age of 20.

The prince of the Southern King is the heir to the throne.

Jiang Zizai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, if I do not get the natal totem tomorrow, I will be deprived of my status as the son of the Purple Lin King. If my elder brother cannot clear his grievances, then my Purple Lin Mansion will be without descendants, and the other four Qilins will be able to take the throne legitimately."

Everything has changed.

An hour ago, he was not worried about tomorrow's worship day at all.

Because even if there is no good result, so what? With his father and brother around, he has no worries.

But now, if he still fails and loses his identity, the whole family will be in even worse shape.

Although his sister from the Huguo Mansion is still there, according to the clan rules, the position of the royal clan leader cannot be inherited by a woman.

"My father has defected, at least he is not in danger of death now. The one who is really on the verge of life and death is my brother! And in this case, if the Four Veins Qilin wants to suppress my Zilin Mansion and add insult to injury..."

Jiang Zizai has never been so sad in his life.

It is his mother who is holding on outside now, but how can he be willing to let his mother fight with a group of villains!

"If I can also stand on my own..." He really hates it.

"Why doesn't God want to give me a chance!"

"Any natal totem is fine, I didn't need it before, but now, I need it!"

Jiang Zizai looked at the sky with fiery eyes.
