Chapter 6279: Something Happened to the Ancestral Dragon’s Remnant?

Chu Feng and Wang Qiang reached the Totem Dragon Clan’s main camp.

Most of Chu Feng’s comrades were around, though the Dragon Breath Clan was away dealing with matters.

However, Long Chengyu and Long Muxi weren’t doing well. They suddenly felt unwell at the same time last night, and their bodies began burning up. It eventually reached a point where the two of them fell unconscious.

Even Daoist First Dragon and Daoist Second Dragon were unable to diagnose their conditions. The more they examined them, the more they felt like Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were being possessed by some kind of power.

Chu Feng looked at Long Muxi and Long Chengyu, who were resting on a cold stone, but was unable to discern anything with his eyes. So, he decided to step forward to inspect their bodies.

Much to his astonishment, their body temperatures were so high that Chu Feng, despite his cultivation, couldn’t touch them.

Something was wrong!

Even if Chu Feng couldn’t touch them, Long Muxi and Long Chengyu should have been reduced to ashes by now! Perplexed, he decided to still reach out to grab Long Chengyu’s wrist to see just how he was.

Daoist First Dragon hurriedly grabbed Chu Feng’s wrist to stop him. “Young friend Chu Feng, even I was scalded.”

He flipped over his other palm—there were burn marks on it, and it was showing no signs of healing even though medicine had been applied.

“Big brother, there’s something amiss about the heat they are emanating. We should observe from afar for the time being,” Little Fishy said concernedly.

Chu Feng retracted his hand. If even someone as powerful as Daoist First Dragon was burned, it would indeed be inadvisable for him to touch Long Chengyu and Long Muxi. The only problem was that he couldn’t see through that bizarre fever even with his Heaven’s Eyes.

“Young friend Chu Feng, are you unable to diagnose their condition too?” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief asked nervously.

Daoist First Dragon and Daoist Second Dragon had already given up.

Chu Feng’s arrival brought the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief a ray of hope, but he was unsure whether Chu Feng was able to resolve this issue or not, especially after seeing the latter’s expression.

Chu Feng shook his head. The clan chief’s heart skipped a beat.

“Elder Clan Chief, you don’t have to be too worried. Their vitals are stable despite the bizarre fever. I’d like to ask if they have been to anywhere or came into contact with anything in recent days?” Chu Feng asked in hopes of getting some clues.

“They have been cultivating in their respective chambers, and they haven’t come into contact with anything filthy,” the clan chief replied.

“Lord Clan Chief!” a Totem Dragon Clan’s elder exclaimed from afar as he rushed over.

Knowing something huge must have happened, the clan chief and the others rushed out.

It turned out that a huge fire had broken out in the Totem Dragon Clan’s ancestral dragon forbidden land.

The clan chief anxiously led his men to the ancestral dragon’s remnant. The remnant was extremely important to their clan. If not for it, the Totem Dragon Clan would have never enjoyed its current level of glory and honor.

Many Totem Dragon Clansmen viewed the ancestral dragon’s remnant as their ancestor, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the ancestral dragon.

“We’ll go too.” Chu Feng constructed a formation realm with a wave of his sleeves and stowed into it Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, and the cold stone they were resting on.

Then, he turned to Daoist First Dragon and Daoist Second Dragon.

“Young friend Chu Feng, do you think that young friends Long Chengyu and Long Muxi’s conditions are related to the situation in the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land?”

Daoist First Dragon saw through Chu Feng’s thoughts.

“Their fevers are coming from within. I suspect it stems from their bloodlines. It’s too much of a coincidence for fire to break out at the ancestral dragon’s remnant at a time like this,” Chu Feng replied.

“Indeed.”

The crowd nodded in agreement, thinking that Chu Feng’s words made sense.

“Big brother, I’ll go too.”

“I-I-I’m coming along as well!”

Little Fishy, Xianhai Shaoyu, Wang Qiang, and the others expressed their desire to tag along. Chu Feng had no reason to stop them.

Thus, they quickly caught up with the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief and accompanied them to the realm where the ancestral dragon’s remnant was located.

“Young friend Chu Feng, do you mean that this matter might have something to do with Lord Ancestral Dragon? If so, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief breathed a sigh of relief.

He treasured the ancestral dragon’s remnant so much that he felt immense worry the moment he heard that something had happened to it, prompting him to toss everything to the back of his mind, including his children’s safety.

But Chu Feng’s words suggested that this matter could be a fortuitous encounter for Long Chengyu and Long Muxi.

“It’s only a conjecture on my part. We’ll only know for sure once we see the ancestral dragon’s remnant,” Chu Feng replied.

“Your words sound plausible. I’d be relieved if that’s the case,” the clan chief replied with a sigh.

The Totem Totem Dragon Clan’s experts also no longer looked as worried as before. They would have been skeptical had it been anyone else raising that suggestion, but they had great trust in Chu Feng.

This trust was built up from the astute judgment Chu Feng had displayed time and time again.

With the Totem Dragon Clan’s special means, it didn’t take them long to arrive at the realm where the ancestral dragon’s remnant was located. Immense heat could be felt as soon as they stepped into the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land.

Infernos raged where the ancestral dragon lay, forming a wall of flames that extended from the earth to the sky. The immense heat was coming from none other than the flames.

Shockingly, the heat level was similar to what Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were emanating.

“Could this be truly related to Lord Ancestral Dragon?”

This further lent credence to Chu Feng’s conjecture.

Unfortunately, the raging flames obstructed the crowd’s vision, preventing them from gathering more information about the situation. On top of that, the flames encircled the ancestral dragon’s remnant. This made the Totem Dragon Clansmen worry once more.

“Lord Ancestral Dragon, is that you? Are you still alive? Please let us know if we have done anything to anger you.”

Left with no choice, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief led his clansmen forward and kneeled toward the ancestral dragon’s remnant.

The flames transformed, vaguely revealing a massive circular imprint.

The crowd turned their eyes over to take a better look at the imprint, only to hurriedly retract their gazes right after.

“H-h-huh? Is the ancestral dragon trying to kill us?!” Wang Qiang exclaimed in horror.

Even Little Fishy had a tinge of fear in her eyes.

The Totem Dragon Clansmen hurriedly lowered their eyes and kowtowed nonstop. Despite having yet to make sense of the situation, they apologized profusely under the assumption that they had done something that angered the ancestral dragon.

The problem lay with the imprint.

Anyone who looked at the imprint would feel immense heat surging into their bodies, as if the terrifying flames had been ignited in their souls. If they continued to examine the imprint, the flames would burn their souls until they were reduced to ashes.

Wu!

Long Chengyu and Long Muxi suddenly moaned in pain as faint lights radiated from their skin. As these lights grew brighter, they began to resemble scales plastered on their bodies.

This should have been a divine sign, but Long Muxi and Long Chengyu’s twisted faces showed that they were being put through immense pain. This further lent credence to the conjecture that their conditions were caused by the ancestral dragon’s remnant.

“Eggy, don’t look at what I’m seeing,” Chu Feng said before focusing his eyes on the circular imprint amidst the flames.

Whether the imprint was a trial or not, it was their only way out of this impasse. The only way to get to the bottom of this situation was to decipher the imprint.

The more Chu Feng stared at the imprint, the clearer the imprint became. He felt like his soul was going to burst into flames and that death was swooping down on him.

However, he didn’t waver in the least. He continued staring at the imprint as if determined to peer through its secrets even at the expense of his life.

Everything suddenly fell silent.

The burning heat inside and outside of him disappeared. Even the surrounding voices had vanished without a trace. Chu Feng felt like he had entered a quiet realm.

Until a voice echoed in his ear, “Do you not fear death?”
