The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 172

Ruan Li silently watched Xuan Ying, her expression calm as if the question was trivial, which surprised Xuan Ying.

After a moment, Ruan Li's face grew slightly somber, and she said coldly, "If it were up to me, there would be no mercy! Those selfish and self-serving sects and sages, who have walked over the blood and corpses of our Dragon Clan to reach where they are today, will never repent or atone. The best lesson is to make them feel what we have endured."

Ruan Li's words seemed calm but carried an undeniable anger and sorrow, touching the hearts of the dragons present.

They then shouted, "Yes, let them experience everything we have gone through! No mercy, no mercy!"

The roar of anger from the crowd was deafening, and Luo Qingci once again felt the depth of hatred within these dragons, sighing at how difficult reconciliation seemed.

Ruan Li raised her hand to signal them to calm down. "The sects owe the Dragon Clan countless blood debts, and we should seek retribution. But has the Dragon Clan's long-term purpose only been revenge?"

After a long silence, a dragon spoke up, "No, it's also to ensure the continuation of the Dragon Clan. If I weren't afraid that the Dragon Clan would be annihilated, I would have long since sought mutual destruction with them."

"Right, we need revenge, but the Dragon Clan must continue. You should know that the greatest threat to the Dragon Clan right now is not the sects but the demon clan. The Sky Demon Eye inside Mo Yan has already affected him, using his hands to cultivate demon believers in the Dragon Clan and break the barrier. The goal is obvious. If the demon clan takes advantage of the Dragon Clan and the sects fighting and destroys the barrier, what will be the consequence?"

"Are you saying we should give up our grievances with the sects? Not seek revenge anymore?" Some dragons, who already had concerns, became agitated, their anger and questions clear.

"Does this mean Luo Qingci is trying to find a way for the sects to survive? Your Highness, do not be deceived," another dragon stepped forward urgently.

"The sects have the Dragon Slayer Wood. Do you know what that means?" Ruan Li asked.

The dragons who were previously full of righteous indignation fell silent.

"The Dragon Clan is currently dwindling in numbers, and without the Dragon Slayer Wood, dragon eggs cannot hatch. After the battle of Fufeng, the sects have united against us, and with the Dragon Slayer Wood from Chongxu Sect, they can also restrain the Dragon Clan. Am I right?" Ruan Li looked at the dragons who had just returned from Fufeng City and asked.

The group's expressions changed slightly. Although they were reluctant to admit it, the fact was true.

"Lord Xuan Ying, a few more of our people who went with us were captured," said a white dragon, his face grim.

Xuan Ying's expression also changed, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Ruan Li glanced at Luo Qingci.

Luo Qingci nodded at her and addressed Xuan Ying and the others, "We have an agreement with the sects. Sect members cannot slaughter dragons again. If they do, I will no longer interfere with the Dragon Clan's attacks on the sects. If Ah Li wants to take action against the sects, I will also do my best to help her. So, they should not be in danger."

"Will they listen to you?" Fu Sheng was puzzled by Luo Qingci's statement, which seemed to suggest that if the sects continued to slaughter dragons, she would side with the Dragon Clan against the sects.
