Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Tianjian Continent, high above the firmament.

A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the Dragon Clan was engaged in battle with a Phoenix from the Phoenix Clan.

The ancient grudge between the two clans had been festering for a long time.

Meeting and fighting to the death was a common occurrence.

This time, when a member of the Dragon Clan met a Phoenix, unsurprisingly, a fight to the death ensued.

However, unbeknownst to them, an extremely terrifying presence was observing their fight.

Ignorant of the situation, they continued their deadly combat.

However, as the fight went on, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon clearly began losing ground, gradually being suppressed by the Phoenix in the clash.

"Your Dragon Clan has slaughtered many of my Phoenix Clan ancestors. Today, it is only fitting for you to die by my hand, to settle a fraction of our clans' grievance! Prepare to die!"

As the Phoenix pummeled the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, it let out a piercing screech, simultaneously taunting the dragon through telepathy.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon didn't respond verbally or with a roar but fought back with all its might, attempting to turn the tables and kill the Phoenix.

But no matter how the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon resisted, it remained at a disadvantage.

Their realms were simply not on the same level.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon simply couldn't defeat the Phoenix.

If things continued without surprise, the Phoenix could whittle away the dragon's life through attrition.

Roar!!!

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon roared in frustration.

The Phoenix was not intimidated and pressed on with its assault.

Their battle raged on furiously.

Eventually, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon began to weaken, and the Phoenix, sensing the opportunity, launched a fierce attack.

"Get lost!"

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon mustered a burst of strength and, with a powerful strike, sent the unwitting Phoenix flying away.

The Phoenix's body uncontrollably crashed backward, smashing into a mountain.

The Phoenix became infuriated.

It was careless for a moment and was sent flying by the dragon; this it could not tolerate?

As it got up, it immediately prepared a forbidden technique to shred the dragon to pieces to quell its rage.

The Phoenix plotted how to torment the dragon.

But before it could ponder any longer.

Suddenly, it felt a blinding golden light coming from behind.

The Phoenix turned its head to look.

It seemed to see a ray of sunlight flying towards it…

And then...

There was no 'and then'.

All one saw was the Phoenix being bisected by a Golden Halo.

Instantly, the Phoenix's body shattered apart, falling in an instant, without any chance to resist.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon watching from afar was stunned.

It stared blankly at the spot where the Phoenix vanished.

The creature that just had the upper hand against it...

Was suddenly gone.

Truly in an instant.

It didn't even have time to react.

If the dragon didn't have time to react, the Phoenix certainly had even less time.

"A mighty being has intervened!"

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon realized, a thought flashing through its mind.

And that was the only thought.

"Thank you, senior, for your aid. May I ask your honorable name? I mean no harm; I merely wish to know the name of my benefactor, so the Dragon Clan can express our gratitude in the future," the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon said as it transformed into human form and bowed.

After finishing, it cautiously watched ahead,

anticipating the 'mighty being's' emergence.

It waited for a while.

A figure slowly emerged from the mountains.

To the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, this figure appeared hazy and insubstantial, like a form made of gas, barely discernible as humanoid.

This caused a deep shock to surge through the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

What could possibly be this person's cultivation level?

So terrifying that even with its own cultivation level, it couldn't see the figure clearly.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon never considered that this figure could be an entity made of will.

He simply assumed that this emerging figure was just someone with powerful cultivation levels who deemed him 'unworthy' of seeing their true form.

And this figure that came out was none other than Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan stepped out, his face expressionless as he regarded the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

He casually slaughtered the annoying bird.

It was not that he intended to help the dragon.

Rather, the bird's cries were incredibly irritating.

Furthermore, it crashed into the mountain he was on, so he killed it on impulse.

If that hadn't been the case, he wouldn't have bothered to lift a finger.

Let alone go out of his way to assist the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

But now that he had already made a move.

This favor was not to be left unpaid.

"Dispense with the formalities."

Chu Yuan glanced at the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, who was bowing respectfully, and waved his hand dismissively.

With a wave of his hand, the power of his Invincible State effortlessly lifted the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

As a being of will, he now had even greater control over the Invincible State.

He could easily manipulate the Invincible State to perform small tasks, without risking any errors due to excessive force.

"Thank you, senior, for saving my life. I, Ao Du, am eternally grateful! May I ask which clan's Old Ancestor you are? The Dragon Clan will surely repay you in the future!"

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon 'Ao Du' inquired again, moved by Chu Yuan's strength.

In his view,

an existence at Chu Yuan's level must undoubtedly be an Old Ancestor of some clan.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly be so formidable.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan was taken aback for a moment.

This guy was asking which clan's Old Ancestor he was?

How was he supposed to answer that?

Since when was someone named Chu an Old Ancestor?

Chu Yuan originally wanted to reply that he was of the Human Race.

But then he thought again.

On this Tianjian Continent, full of Demons, using the identity of the Human Race seemed rather ineffective.

It might be better to adopt a false identity as part of the Demon Race.

After all, as a being of will, no one could truly know whether he was actually from the Demon Race or not.

Only, which Demon Race should he pretend to be?

Forget it, he might as well make something up.

"I am the Patriarch of the Celestial Demon Python Clan!"

Chu Yuan made up a name on the spot.

He had no idea what a Heavenly Demon Python was.

Anyway, spouting nonsense was the way to go.

"The Celestial Demon Python Clan... Understood, I'll keep that in mind. Please rest assured, senior, that I and the Dragon Clan will surely express our gratitude in the future."

Ao Du silently noted the name.

"How many times have you mentioned repaying me? If you want to repay, do it now, immediately, right away, not 'in the future'."

Chu Yuan rolled his eyes, what a joke.

Once he left, he would never encounter this dragon again.

Talking about future repayment was as good as making a joke, wasn't it?

Just like an old acquaintance saying they'll treat you to a meal next time.

'Next time for sure' and similar phrases all amounted to nothing.

"This..."

Ao Du didn't know how to respond to Chu Yuan's words.

He pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"If senior does not mind, you could accompany me back to the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land, where the Dragon Clan will certainly extend proper thanks!"

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan immediately agreed.

There was no use for this favor he had acquired.

It was better to cash it in right away.

Seeking disciples could wait; after all, receiving gratitude wouldn't take long.

With that thought, Chu Yuan followed Ao Du directly toward the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land...
