Lin Fei and the others followed the Dragon King to the forbidden place of the Dragon Clan, characterized by its towering mountains. However, the mountains here lacked any vitality, as if life had been washed away. Finally, they reached a massive cave, seemingly descending into the earth. At the cave's entrance, the Dragon Emperor paused and loudly declared, "Old Sect Master, Aoguang pays respects!"
A loud shout echoed, followed by a deep dragon chant from within the cave, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if burdened. Soon, a giant dragon emerged from the cave, appearing extremely ancient, with an old and frail demeanor, as if ready to depart for the afterlife at any moment.
The Dragon Clan's proud expression had been replaced by a harmonious and kind look, and the dragon scales lacked their former brilliance, embodying the weary traces of time.
