Chapter 0341: Alarming the Runing Family

“Yes, Patriarch!” Eithel replied respectfully, then recounted the entire situation in detail, not hiding even her trip to the Dragon Mountain Range to search for Dragon Blood Crystals. In fact, she knew it was impossible to conceal this—if the Runing Family wanted to investigate, they would find out right away.
When Kennedy heard that the Dragon Mountain Range had been destroyed by the Elvis Family’s Angel Corps, his expression changed. After listening to Eithel’s account, he frowned and said sternly, “Those idiots from the Elvis Family!”
Eithel stood there respectfully, not daring to speak.
“The Yellow Dragon and a young man named Li Yifeng went to the Cloud Sea? What did they go there for? I never expected the Twenty-Four Bogues to be able to escape the Twelve-Winged Angels,” Kennedy said in confusion and exasperation.
The Twenty-Four Bogues, being lower-tier gods, were able to escape unharmed in front of the Twelve-Winged Angels, who were equivalent to Level 8Hades kings—this even shocked Kennedy somewhat.
“Dive underground and disappear?!” Kennedy mused.
“I never thought Alva would leave Dragon Blood Crystals in the Dragon Mountain Range. But why would that Yellow Dragon want those crystals?” Kennedy murmured to himself, then glanced at Eithel. Eithel’s heart tightened, and she quickly said, “Disciple does not know. I wonder if that Yellow Dragon might also be able to fuse with Dragon Blood Crystals?”
Kennedy’s eyes sharpened. “The Yellow Dragon can fuse with Dragon Blood Crystals?” He then shook his head. “Impossible. To fuse with Dragon Blood Crystals, one must possess dragon blood. But the Yellow Dragon cannot have dragon blood—he isn’t from our Runing Family.”
Back then, when the Yellow Dragon and the Twenty-Five Bogues broke Marshall’s record, the identities of those people were naturally investigated by major families like the Runing Family. Thus, Kennedy was certain the Yellow Dragon couldn’t be from their family.
In this world, only those with dragon blood were descendants of the Runing Family. But the Yellow Dragon, who came from the Pangu World, was an exception.
“Raymond,” Kennedy said then.
“Yes, Patriarch!” Immediately, a middle-aged man appeared in the great hall.
“Take some people to the Cloud Sea. Use the family’s flying artifacts to go there and check if the Yellow Dragon is still there. Also, find out why he and that Li Yifeng went there.”
“Yes!” The middle-aged man replied respectfully before vanishing in a flash.
Eithel watched in shock as the middle-aged man appeared and then disappeared. Raymond? Was he the most mysterious elder in the family? He rarely showed up.
“You say the Yellow Dragon placed a restriction inside you? Let me see,” Kennedy said, turning to Eithel.

“Yes, Clan Leader!” Aiselle replied respectfully before stepping forward to Kennedy. Being so close to Kennedy, she felt somewhat nervous.

When Aiselle reached Kennedy, he spread his hands, and a dazzling light appeared, coalescing into a glowing sphere. The sphere flickered, and a red light enveloped Aiselle. Her body trembled, and her lips tightened. As the energy from Kennedy’s sphere penetrated her body, she felt an immense force surging forth from within her. Instantly, the two forces collided.

“Huh?!” Kennedy’s originally indifferent expression turned serious. His eyes sparkled, and the glowing sphere in his hands grew larger as the power of the dragon within him surged forth, gradually suppressing that force. Yet, to his astonishment, that force was incredibly tenacious, still stubbornly resisting his water-based divine power.

“What is this?!” Kennedy was shocked and poured even more divine power into it.

Half an hour later, the force was finally completely suppressed and dissipated.

When the restriction within Aiselle’s body was lifted, Kennedy’s expression relaxed slightly, but it was soon replaced by seriousness, even a hint of shock.

The Yellow Dragon was said to possess only the strength of a mid-tier god, yet the restriction it had placed within Aiselle required such great effort to remove?! After all, he was a supreme god at the highest level—the gap between a supreme god and a mid-tier god was as vast as that between a mortal and a deity.

“This Yellow Dragon seems to hide many secrets,” Kennedy thought in shock. “But if it had no secrets at all, it wouldn’t have been able to break Marshall’s record.” This only strengthened his resolve to recruit the Yellow Dragon into the Runing family.

While still shocked by the restriction the Yellow Dragon had placed in Aiselle’s body, Kennedy received a message from the family elder Donald. Picking up the jade, he read the message inside. His hands trembled as he read: “What? A descendant of our family from the Water Deity Realm, tested by the Dragon Blood Stele—91% dragon blood concentration! And there’s also the legendary Dragon Shadow!”

Seeing the shocked expression on Clan Leader Kennedy’s face and hearing his words, Aiselle’s expression also changed drastically. 91% dragon blood concentration! Though she didn’t know what the legendary Dragon Shadow meant, she understood what 91% dragon blood concentration meant.

“Go down first. I’ll send for you if there’s anything.” After being shocked, Kennedy regained his composure and said to Eithel.
“Yes, Clan Leader,” Eithel replied respectfully before stepping back out.
Once Eithel left, Kennedy placed his hands behind his back and began walking back and forth in the great hall, muttering to himself, “A dragon shadow from the legends? Could this Huang Hai, a member of our clan, really be the person from the legends?! Wait a moment… His dragon blood concentration is 91. Although that’s a blessing for the Runing family, what ability will he have to help the family through future disasters?”
The level of dragon blood concentration determined the future achievements of a Runing family member. Thus, Huang Hai could never surpass him. The Runing family had their ancestors and the Water Element Lord behind them, yet they would have to rely on a clan member with only 91% dragon blood concentration to save them from disasters?
Kennedy frowned and pondered for a while before saying, “Anyway, with Huang Hai’s 91% dragon blood concentration, the Runing family should focus on cultivating him.” With that, Kennedy picked up the message token, infused it with divine power, and soon a mysterious symbol appeared in the sky, spreading in all directions.
This was a unique message token and signal of the Runing family’s clan leader. No one else could forge it, and it was also the highest form of communication within the family. Unless it was a serious matter, Kennedy wouldn’t use it to summon the clan elders.
Before long, figures appeared rapidly in various courtyards of the Runing estate, heading toward the main headquarters.
Gradually, the elders of the Runing family arrived one after another in the great hall. Eventually, 105 people had gathered.
“Almost everyone is here. Only Donald is missing!” Kennedy nodded as he looked at the gathered elders.
The Runing family had a total of 106 elders, all of whom were extraordinary warriors.
Although families like Beikal were also among the six major families of the Netherworld, their strength still fell short compared to the Runing family, the leader of these six families—whether in terms of their clan members or their extraordinary warriors. The Beikal family had only about sixty elders.
“Clan Leader, did you summon us to discuss the opening of the Land of Forgetfulness again?!” asked a blond young man at the front of the left row of elders in the great hall.
This blond young man held a prominent position in the Runing family—he was Bazel, the second highest god in the family after Kennedy, and also the only Supreme Elder of the Runing family.

In the Netherworld, there are eight Supreme Gods of Perfect Enlightenment. Aside from Marshall, who does not belong to the six major families of the Netherworld, the other seven are from these six families—two from the Runing family and one from each of the Beikal families.

All the elders of the Runing family turned their gaze toward Kennedy in the hall.

“Besides discussing the opening of the Land of Forgetfulness next time, there is another matter I would like to talk to you about,” Kennedy said, glancing at Bazel before addressing the crowd in the hall.

“Another matter?” asked an elder standing at the head on the right side of the hall, puzzled.

This elder was Bishop, the grand elder of the Runing family. His status was second only to Bazel, and his power was nearly on par with that of a Supreme God of Perfect Enlightenment.

“That’s right. Donald just sent a message saying that he tested one of our family’s descendants using the Dragon Blood Stele, and the concentration of their dragon blood reached 91!” Kennedy said solemnly to the crowd in the hall.

“What?! 91?” A murmur spread among the people in the hall.

It had been several eras since any descendant of the Runing family had shown a dragon blood concentration of even 90, let alone 80.

Both Bazel and Bishop were also stunned, not expecting that after five or six eras, another descendant with a dragon blood concentration above 90 would appear. Since the founding of the Runing family, only a dozen people had ever had such a high concentration—specifically, twelve.

“From Donald’s side? Could this descendant be from another divine plane?!” Bazel asked in surprise.

The Runing family had two Dragon Blood Steles for testing dragon blood—one near their headquarters, used specifically for testing descendants in the Netherworld divine plane, and the other in Riga City, at the border between the Runing family’s estate and the Pus family’s estate, used for testing descendants from other divine planes, under Donald’s oversight.

“That’s correct. This disciple comes from the Water Divine Plane and is named Huang Hai,” Kennedy nodded and then looked around at everyone. “But that’s not the most important part. What’s more important is that Donald mentioned that during the test, a dragon shadow appeared above the Dragon Blood Stele for this disciple named Huang Hai.”

“What? A dragon shadow?!”

“Could it be the legendary dragon shadow? Could this Huang Hai be the person from the legends?!”

…

The hall was in an uproar. Hearing that a dragon shadow had appeared above the Dragon Blood Stele during Huang Hai’s test, everyone’s expressions changed as they began to speculate.
