Chapter Twelve: The Dominance of the Dragon Clan

There are five star regions in the Fiend Realm: the Golden Dragon Star Region, the Wood Forest Star Region, the Water Ocean Star Region, the Fire Phoenix Star Region, and the Earth Tortoise Star Region.

Like the other star regions, the Golden Dragon Star Region is also divided into thirty-six star zones, with their core planets named after the Heavenly Gang stars. Each star zone is further divided into seventy-two star clusters, whose core planets are named after the Earth Fiend stars.

It can be said that the entire Golden Dragon Star Region is the domain of the dragon clan. Various dragon species dominate the planets here, while other fiend beasts can only serve as their vassals.

The core planet of the Tianmeng Star Zone in the Golden Dragon Star Region is Tianmeng Star, which serves as the stronghold of the Wind Dragon clan. Almost all powerful Wind Dragons originate from this planet.

On Tianmeng Star, there is only one place where other exotic fiend beasts can live, and it is also the gathering place for fiend beasts from other planets who come to Tianmeng Star.

At that moment, on a mountain peak on Wind Roar Island, the three brothers—Cat One, Cat Two, and Cat Three, the Dragon-Tailed Snow Cats—had already arrived.

While Qu Yi was active on Tianjiu Star, these three Dragon-Tailed Snow Cats had already rushed to Tianmeng Star in the Golden Dragon Star Region.

“Second brother, third brother, we’ve arrived at Tianmeng Star. We can now take out the Soul Compass,” Cat One said softly.

Cat Two and Cat Three nodded.

Immediately, Cat One took out a Soul Compass from his space ring. As soon as the Soul Compass was placed on the ground, Qu Yi appeared out of thin air on the mountain peak, smiling at the three of them.

“Cat One, Cat Two, Cat Three, you three have done very well,” Qu Yi said with a smile.

“Master, it’s our honor,” the three Dragon-Tailed Snow Cats replied respectfully.

Qu Yi nodded and then said with a smile, “All of you have already reached the level of Six-Star Earth Soul Fiends. When your soul realm reaches that of Lower Earth Soul Fiends, let me know at any time, and I will help you immediately advance to that level.”

With two primal spirit veins in his hands, one Spirit Devouring bloodline, and now an additional Primal Heavenly Vein, it was easy for Qu Yi to provide them with enough primal energy to boost their cultivation levels.

“Thank you, Master,” the three Dragon-Tailed Snow Cats exclaimed gratefully.

Qu Yi smiled slightly, then glanced at the surrounding mountains and said with a smile, “It’s time to meet Wind Crown.”

On Tianjiu Star, Qu Yi had already achieved the two goals he wanted: first, to hunt down snake-like fiend beasts at the level of Heavenly Soul Fiends; second, to obtain the Primal Heavenly Vein.

The Primal Heavenly Vein was meant to prepare for the five beings to advance in cultivation. Hunting Heavenly Soul Fiends was part of the task assigned by Wind Crown, and once completed, they could go meet Wind Crown.

Immediately, Qu Yi enclosed the Three-Headed Dragon-Tailed Snow Cat within a dimension sphere, then flew toward the central area of Wind Roar Island.
※※※
The Wind Dragon Academy was located at the very heart of Wind Roar Island.
All kinds of monsters from Tian Meng Star who wished to interact with the Wind Dragon clan first had to come to the Wind Dragon Academy to make contact.
At that moment, Qu Yi strode alone toward the Wind Dragon Academy.
“Not bad—such a large courtyard, with Wind Dragons of the Celestial Soul Monster level guarding it in the sky. Truly magnificent,” Qu Yi said with admiration as he stood at the entrance.
At the entrance stood two rows of twenty tall guards, each being of the lower-level Earth Soul Monster rank, with their true forms being Cold-Blooded Leopard Dragons.
Qu Yi walked over.
“Who are you? What business do you have? Speak quickly!” the sternest guard at the front shouted coldly.
Qu Yi smiled and said directly, “I come from the Wood Forest Star Region. I’ve been assigned a hunting task by the Wind Crown, and I’m here to hand it over.”
All the guards turned to look at Qu Yi.
“Did you really go to Tian Jiu Star and kill a snake monster of the Celestial Soul Monster level?” the stern guard still couldn’t believe it and asked directly.
Qu Yi chuckled and then took out a Snake Pill, which he had obtained after killing a Black-Ringed Snake leader.
The stern guard glanced at the Snake Pill and, confirming it wasn’t from another monster, believed that Qu Yi was indeed here to hand over the task.
“Ranger, wait a moment. I’ll go inform the Wind Crown’s attendant right away,” the stern guard said hurriedly.
Then, he flew into the Wind Dragon Academy to find the Wind Crown.
After a while, a gust of wind rushed out from the courtyard.
It was the Wind Crown.
His appearance hadn’t changed much since he was at the Haotian Immortal Mansion, but the aura of demonic energy he emitted was much stronger now, having reached the cultivation level of a lower-level Earth Soul Monster.
“You’re… Qu Yi!”
As soon as the Wind Crown arrived at the entrance and saw Qu Yi, his expression stiffened, and he exclaimed in delight.
Qu Yi laughed heartily and nodded, “Wind Crown, it’s great to see you again.”
Back at the Haotian Immortal Mansion, the Wind Crown had failed to break through Qu Yi’s defenses, allowing Qu Yi to pass. After that, he transformed into a Three-Clawed Wind Dragon and returned to the Monster Realm. Nearly five hundred years had passed since then.
The Wind Crown immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qu Yi, and shouted, “Come, let’s go inside.”
Without saying a word, Qu Yi entered the Wind Roar Academy under the astonished gazes of the twenty guards.
With his cultivation at the lower-level Earth Soul Monster rank and being a member of the Wind Dragon clan, the Wind Crown was qualified to serve as an attendant. Thus, he worked at the Wind Roar Academy and also had his own attic.
Guanyu Tower was the Wind Crown’s residence.

Qu Yi and Feng Guan entered the Guan Yu Tower, both sitting down with smiles and observing each other for a while.
“Feng Guan, your cultivation level has improved really fast. Back in the Haotian Immortal Mansion, you were only at the level of a Yuan Yao, right?” Qu Yi said with a smile.
It took nine cultivation levels in total—ranging from Yuan Po Yao to lower-level Di Po Yao—to rise from that stage, yet it was accomplished in just 500 years. Such a rapid pace of cultivation was truly extraordinary.
Feng Guan nodded and smiled, saying, “Qu Yi, I won’t hide it from you. The current leader of the Wind Dragon Clan of Tianmeng Star is my own brother. After I returned from the cultivation realm, my brother was overjoyed and has since fully supported me, providing me with various cultivation resources that helped me rapidly advance in cultivation.”
Qu Yi responded with an “oh,” then asked curiously, “Feng Guan, I saw the mission you posted in the Wood Forest Star Region Hunting Guild. How come the dragon clans of your Jinlong Star Region would go to the Wood Forest Star Region to trouble snake-type monsters?”
The five star regions of the Monster Realm were each dominated by powerful monster races.
Jinlong Star Region was ruled by the dragon clans.
Huofeng Star Region was mainly occupied by flying monsters such as phoenixes, vermilion birds, and peacocks.
Wood Forest Star Region was mostly home to birds and beasts, with the greatest diversity of species, and no single dominant powerful monster race.
Shuiyang Star Region was dominated by aquatic monsters, while the land-based monster races were generally not very strong.
Tuba Star Region was mostly inhabited by land-dwelling monsters, with lion clans, tiger clans, ape clans, bear clans, leopard clans, and ox clans taking turns becoming the Monster Emperors.
The powerful monster races in each star region usually avoided direct confrontation with one another out of mutual caution. Therefore, Qu Yi was very curious as to why the dragon clans would openly interfere in the affairs of Wood Forest Star Region, and moreover, insult the dignity of Tianjiu Star, whose leader originated from the Void.
Upon hearing Qu Yi’s words, Feng Guan’s expression changed, showing some anger.
After calming down, Feng Guan slowly said, “Qu Yi, this is related to the incident of chasing after Emperor Hao back then. At that time, the great emperors from the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, and Monster Realm sent five people—immortals, demons, and Yuan Yaos—to the cultivation realm to hunt down Emperor Hao. During one of the battles, I was framed by three Yuan Yaos named Void, Yinshui, and Liuying, who used me as a scapegoat. I was captured by Emperor Hao, while those three escaped unscathed.”
It turned out that Feng Guan was trapped in Haotian Immortal Mansion to guard it precisely because he had been framed by three Yuan Yaos from the Monster Realm as well.

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi was greatly surprised and exclaimed, “Void is now the leader of the Wood Forest Alliance. Yin Shui is now the leader of the Water Ocean Alliance. Liu Ying is now the leader of the Earth Trough Alliance. So they three were also involved in the pursuit of Emperor Hao back then? Truly astonishing.”

Feng Guan felt awkward upon hearing this and then asked, “Qu Yi, I’m very curious—what treasures have you obtained in the Hao Tian Immortal Mansion?”

Qu Yi shook his head with a smile.

Feng Guan chuckled and said directly, “Qu Yi, don’t worry. When you used the Star Luo Ding for defense back then, I knew your future would be boundless. I certainly won’t offend you and bring trouble to my Wind Dragon Clan in the future.”

What a straightforward personality.

Qu Yi smiled. He hadn’t expected Feng Guan to be so blunt. He said, “I’ve obtained all of Emperor Hao’s treasures. Naturally, I also got that interdimensional magic artifact. That’s exactly why I can come to your Tian Meng Star without fear—I’m not afraid of any of you dragon clan warriors now.”

Feng Guan stared at Qu Yi in shock, feeling a hint of fear and realizing even more that he couldn’t offend Qu Yi.

“Qu Yi, the guards said you went to Tian Jiu Star and even killed a snake monster of the Tian Po Yao level,” Feng Guan changed the topic and asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Yi took out the Snake Pill and threw it at Feng Guan.

“A one-star Tian Po Yao, the Snake Pill of the Black Ring Snake,” Qu Yi said with a smile.

Feng Guan took a quick look before looking at Qu Yi and saying, “Qu Yi, to be honest, not only in the Wood Forest Star Region but also in the Water Ocean Star Region and the Earth Trough Star Region, I’ve issued tasks in the Adventurers’ Guild. In Tian Su Star, where Yin Shui originated, and Tian Xian Star, where Liu Ying originated, adventurers who hunt Tian Po Yao-level monsters will receive rewards.”

Indeed, they’re quite domineering—the dragon clan is directly humiliating the faces of three alliance leaders.

Qu Yi was indeed surprised and asked directly, “Feng Guan, why is this? Are you dragon clan preparing to go to war with the monster races in the other three star regions?”

Feng Guan shook his head and said with a smile, “After I returned to the dragon clan, I told them everything that happened back then. When the Dragon Emperor found out, he was naturally furious. Then he sent me to issue those three tasks—to publicly embarrass those three sneaky villains.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi quickly understood.

The Dragon Emperor must have already spoken to Void, Yin Shui, and Liu Ying. If those three didn’t want the past exposed, they had no choice but to accept this public humiliation.

As for the demon beasts of the Tianpo level on the three planets of Tianjiu Star, Tiansu Star, and Tianxian Star, the wanderers on these three planets would not actually hunt them, as no demon beast would dare to offend the leader of their respective star domains. Of course, Qu Yi was the exception. “Then, Feng Guan, give me the reward of this Snake Pill quickly. Also, I’m very interested in visiting Tiansu Star in the Shuiyang Star Domain and Tianxian Star in the Tuba Star Domain,” Qu Yi said with a smile. Hearing this, Feng Guan’s face lit up with joy.
