SOUL LAND IV (DOULUO DALU) : ULTIMATE FIGHTING

Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Millennium Contract

Undoubtedly, for Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, this was definitely an unexpected joy. They hadn’t anticipated such a stroke of luck.

In fact, after being provoked by Zhangliang Ruixiao that day, Huang Yuanlang had a deep conversation with his father, Huang Daoqi.

Being able to enter the tournament was already the limit for Huang Yuanlang. His strength was indeed not strong enough, and among the competing members of the upper Dragon Clan, he was at the bottom. The abilities displayed by Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu had fully proven their potential.

Especially Lan Xuanyu, as the leader of the Ascending Dragon, having also received the recognition of the Dark Devil Dragon Knight. That was already recognition from two Dragon Knights. Zhangliang Ruixiao was right—what if other families recruited them?

Although the Imperial family had already offered benefits like the Divine Dragon Armor and the Dragonlance, couldn’t other families offer such benefits? When it comes to feelings, in the face of sufficient interest, whether one wavers truly depends on one’s character.

As for Lan Xuanyu, although Huang Yuanlang always had the intention to get closer, upon reflection, he realized he didn’t understand him enough. At least he wasn’t very familiar with his personality and various other aspects. Compared to that, Bai Xiuxiu was more outgoing, while Lan Xuanyu rarely even spoke, making it hard to know his true thoughts.

Although Bai Xiuxiu and she were sisters, they clearly weren’t blood sisters. Bai Xiuxiu, having that father-daughter relationship with Huang Daoqi, likely wouldn’t leave easily. But if Lan Xuanyu wanted to go solo, who could stop him? With her current reputation, curses were already useless. Unless someone wanted to kill him. But murdering someone from the Dragon Clan on Sky Dragon Planet was a serious crime, even among the Dragon Clan itself. Being watched by the Dragon Knights, it was almost impossible for Lan Xuanyu to be assassinated.

Therefore, Huang Yuanlang laid out the pros and cons to Huang Daoqi—he had personally witnessed Lan Xuanyu’s performance in the Ascending Dragon Contest. Thus, he was more certain that Lan Xuanyu would go even further in the Ascending Dragon Contest and had a high possibility of becoming a Dragon Knight in the future. Within just a few decades, he would have that opportunity. If not this time, then the next. Next time, mature enough, he might just succeed.

Huang Daoqi was persuaded by Huang Yuanlang; he also knew that, for the family, this might be the only chance.

Fenglong City was marginalized, evident from how Huang Yuanlang was underestimated at the Ascending Dragon Contest. A family without the support of real Dragon Knights would ultimately only decline. Especially since, although their family was adept at procreation, without Dragon Clan partners, their bloodline would only become increasingly diluted.

Therefore, Huang Daoqi finally made up his mind, at all costs, to tie Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu to their war chariot. To keep them, Fenglong City would offer the greatest sincerity.

For those major families, financial and material resources were certainly stronger than Fenglong City’s. However, these major families also had descendants with the potential to become Dragon Knights. Although they were willing to offer resources to attract Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, it definitely wouldn’t be everything. But for Fenglong City, the only hope might lie with these two. Many years of accumulation were still quite considerable.

Huang Yuanlang walked over to the desk, his hands shimmering with silver light, and seven boxes appeared before him.

These boxes appeared to be made of special material, not metal, ancient yet lustrous, somewhat like jade, with no energy fluctuations visible on them, yet they gave off a particularly inviting feel that made one want to touch them.

After removing these seven boxes, Huang Yuanlang’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a variety of complex emotions flashed through his eyes. But he ultimately suppressed the emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, and turned to Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu.

“Lan, Xiuxiu, the family truly made this decision after careful consideration. But you should understand. As the saying goes, ‘no merits, no rewards.’ I’ll frankly say that the family needs your future Strength. We are even more hopeful that you both can become Dragon Knights, which is why we are willing to provide such valuable resources to assist you. Therefore, the family hopes that, after you become powerful via these resources, you will remain with the family and not be lured away by other families. So, I’d like to make it clear—if you want these resources, you’ll need to sign a contract with the family. That is what we in the Dragon Clan commonly call the Millennial Dragon Pact. The binding force of the Millennial Dragon Pact is witnessed by eighteen Lord Dragon Knights. No member of the Dragon Clan can violate it once the pact is made. The pact will be stored in the Sky Dragon Pavilion in Sky Dragon City. Only after a thousand years can it be dissolved. If violated, it means making enemies with the entire Dragon Clan.”

“Our Dragon Clan, on the Sky Dragon Planet, is indeed the most powerful and the noblest race. But, we also value the spirit of the pact greatly. This Millennial Dragon Pact doesn’t have any power to affect your Self Bodies, but it represents your credibility on Sky Dragon Planet. Those who violate the Millennial Dragon Pact will be despised by all of the Dragon Clan.”

“Therefore, this pact has very strong binding force. Don’t rush to tell me your decision—please consider it carefully. And when you sign this Millennial Dragon Pact, willing to protect the family for a thousand years, you’re not just part of the family, you will officially become guest elders, holding a status no lower than that of the patriarch, eventually becoming the patriarch elders, receiving all that the family has to offer, and truly becoming one of our own.”

“Compared with those large families, the Imperial family may not be the strongest. But we are certainly the only family with no other choice. You’ve seen my situation; even a petty man like Zhangliang Ruixiao can easily bully me because my talent is poor and I have no hope of becoming powerful in the future. That’s why they act so recklessly. So, once you sign the pact, all the family’s resources will be yours. Even I, as the Young patriarch, am nowhere near receiving the same level of resources as you.”

Huang Yuanlang spoke in earnest and with an open heart. At least from the outside, his emotions appeared utterly genuine.

Listening to him, Lan Xuanyu immediately realized that the seven boxes on the table were no ordinary objects. He also understood right away that the Imperial family was facing considerable pressure because of his participation in the Ascending Dragon competition. Due to the Strength he demonstrated, they already felt threatened, which is why they wanted him to sign a Millennial Dragon Pact.

With Huang Yuanlang’s explanation, Lan Xuanyu also believed that his explanation of the Millennial Dragon Pact was totally transparent without any reservations or concealments. Because, if he asked any senior member of the Dragon Clan during the Ascending Dragon competition, whether this was the case could easily expose any lies, thus he didn’t need to deceive Lan Xuanyu.

What Huang Daoqi and Huang Yuanlang probably failed to consider was that the Millennial Dragon Pact, although it poses the highest limitation for all the Dragon Clans on Sky Dragon Planet, Lan Xuanyu and Xiuxiu were not from this place’s Dragon Clan! The tasks they planned to undertake in the future were literally against the Sky Dragon Planet. How could they possibly care about any Millennial Dragon Pact?

To participate in such an advantageous and unrestricted situation would be foolish not to…

As Lan Xuanyu thought about this, Bai Xiuxiu naturally thought the same. Therefore, she kept looking at Lan Xuanyu, occasionally giving him a meaningful glance.

However, Lan Xuanyu’s face remained calm at this time, looking at Huang Yuanlang, who showed genuine sincerity and true feelings. After mulling it over for a moment, Lan Xuanyu said, “Brother Huang, I understand the feelings of you and the patriarch. I also understand that this is probably because of my acceptable performance in the Ascending Dragon competition. The Imperial family needs us, and we are also willing to stay with the Imperial family. We had already mentioned this before coming to participate in the competition. But isn’t this Millennial Dragon Pact too long-term? I am not a dragon who likes to be overly bound.”
