"What? Chen Jiu isn't dead. "At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Jiu when they heard Chen Zhengzhi's words.
The mangled figure in Chen Jiu's embrace had actually undergone a strange change. It shone with a gray light, and scales had appeared on his body. The flesh and blood had all been removed. Chen Jiu's body was covered in tough scales. It was an inconceivable sight.
"A monster, he really is a monster. Now let's see what you have to say. I killed him to uphold justice for the heavens." Chen Gongquan couldn't help but berate.
"Exactly. This monster has already revealed his true form. We can't let him go. Grandfathers, please work together and eliminate him as soon as possible." Out of fear of the unknown, many members of the Chen family's bloodline shouted in unison.
"Heavens … this is a dragon scale, a supreme dragon scale." Chen Zhengzhi and Chen Long acted as if they hadn't heard their suggestions. They looked at each other, and then they immediately knelt down in excitement and kowtowed loudly. "Thank the heavens. The heavens have blessed my Chen family. My Chen family has finally been able to produce a Dragonblood Warrior who can rebuke the world. The heavens have opened their eyes. My Chen family is blessed …"
"What? Dragonblood Warrior? Chen Jiu is a Dragonblood Warrior? "All their enemies were dumbfounded.
Dragonblood Warrior didn't just represent status and authority, it also represented dignity and fortune. It could be said that once they confirmed their identity as a Dragonblood Warrior, then they wouldn't just be the Chen family's ancestor, they would be peerless in the entire Dragonblood clan.
To the Dragonblood Warriors, the other members of the Chen family's bloodline were just trash that wasn't worth mentioning.
"Exactly. This supreme Dragonblood Qi, this supreme aura. It really is a dragon scale. According to the ancient records, anyone who can transform into a dragon is a Dragonblood Warrior without a doubt." Chen Zhengzhi's words were like a bucket of cold water that made their hearts turn cold. They were filled with regret.
This was terrible. If Chen Jiu wanted to make a fuss about it with them, then even a hundred of them wouldn't be a match for him. Because of his supreme bloodline and status, even the council of elders would have to act according to his wishes.
The situation had taken a huge turn. No one could have imagined that such a situation would occur.
"Jiu 'er really is a Dragonblood Warrior?" Chen Tianhe was indescribably surprised as well. Looking at the dragon-scaled figure in his arms, he grew incomparably excited.
"That's right, Tianhe. Don't worry. Let's see who dares to chase you out of the clan now." Chen Long stood up and comforted him.
"Misunderstanding. I think this is all a misunderstanding." Chen Gongquan hurriedly laughed as well. He knew how important the appearance of the Dragonblood Warriors was to the entire clan.
Since ancient times, all the clans that had produced Dragonblood Warriors had reigned supreme for a thousand years. There had even been quite a few of them who had become Emperors of a region.
"Hmph, if anything happens to Jiu 'er, I won't let you off." Chen Tianhe glared at Chen Gongquan.
"What …?" The Chen family's members were all dumbfounded. But under Chen Gongquan's signal, they all hurriedly apologized. "Sorry, family head. We were too impulsive. Please don't bicker with us. Don't worry, even if we have to use the entire clan's power, we will definitely repay Chen Jiu's debt."
It wasn't that these people wanted to repay it, but that they had been forced to this point. Even if they didn't want to, they had no choice. A Dragonblood Warrior was too important to the clan. Even if they had to abandon them, the council of elders wouldn't abandon Chen Jiu.
"Quick, Tianhe, bring Chen Jiu over. Let us take a good look at our grandson …" Chen Long and Chen Zhengzhi eagerly looked at Chen Jiu as a peerless treasure.
Chen Tianhe, Chen Long, Chen Zhengzhi … all the people in the room carefully looked at the sleeping Chen Jiu on the table. Some busybodies even began to count the scales on his body in envy.
Like a god, Chen Jiu, who had been yelled at by everyone earlier, was suddenly worshipped by everyone. When he regained his senses, he looked at the eager eyes of the people around him and sat up in fright on the spot. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, Ninth Nephew … we were in the wrong just now. You're a great person, so please forgive us. Please don't blame us, okay?" Many of the clan members immediately began to beg for mercy.
"Oh? What's going on? " Chen Jiu had fainted. Just now, he had been knocked unconscious by the Yin Mountain Town. He had no idea that the two dragon bloodlines in his body had already merged to resist this fatal threat.
"Jiu 'er, look at what's on your body," reminded Chen Tianhe.
"These are … dragon scales." Chen Jiu was also startled. He knew that these were the effects of the two dragon bloodlines. The reason he hadn't used his concealment ability just now was because he was afraid it would be too shocking if it was exposed. The second reason was that Chen Jiu hadn't received any warnings from the Nine Dragon Ring. He had instinctively thought that he would be fine. He hadn't expected that this would actually trigger the fusion of the two dragon bloodlines, and even give birth to dragon scales. He had become a Dragonblood Warrior.
"Not bad, Jiu 'er. You're now a Dragonblood Warrior. The Dragonblood Warrior that the family has been looking forward to for countless years. In the future, no one will dare to disobey you," said Chen Tianhe domineeringly.
"Haha …" Chen Jiu immediately laughed out loud. His stare made the blood relatives of the Chen family break out in cold sweat. They were extremely frightened.
"Jiu 'er, you can't take revenge for personal reasons. As a Dragonblood Warrior, you should have a magnanimous and benevolent heart," advised Chen Long.
"Don't worry, we're all born from the same roots. I'm not as heartless as them." Chen Jiu brought out the teachings of his ancestors. "I didn't lose out in today's matter, so let's just forget about it. But in the future, if anyone dares to cause trouble for me, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Yes … yes … yes … we'll definitely be loyal to the family. We'll do our best for the family until we die." None of his uncles dared to be disrespectful.
"Alright, we're all family. We should be friendly. Come, let Grandpa touch your dragon scales. They're so smooth …" Chen Long led the others to touch the dragon scales on Chen Jiu's body out of curiosity. They felt that it was warm and smooth to the touch. It was incomparably enjoyable.
Even if they couldn't touch a true dragon, being able to touch a Dragonman was a supreme blessing.
"Hey, cousins, can you please let go of your hands? Dragons have reverse scales, that's not to be touched." Chen Long looked down helplessly. His beautiful cousins were touching their own dragon roots. The scales on them were fine and smooth. They clearly loved them so much that they couldn't bear to part with them.
These cousins hadn't done anything just now. They were all abandoned babies that had been adopted by the various clans of the Chen family. They weren't related to Chen Jiu by blood. But now they were clearly somewhat in love with him.
