Chapter 659 The Tiger Clan's Doubt

"That's strange. The Dragon Lord is clearly a guest in our Tiger Clan. How could there be another Dragon Lord out of nowhere? Men, seize these two conspirators and hold them for punishment!" The Tiger Clan member sneered.

In his view, Xiong Zhan fabricating a Dragon Lord was certainly up to no good.

At this moment, Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "See, I told you I'm not the Dragon Lord, but you wouldn't believe me. Now we've made a fool of ourselves, haven't we?"

When Ye Yuan said this, the Tiger Clan naturally thought he was quibbling.

His scheme foiled, he wanted to escape this way? It wouldn't be that easy.

"Hey, having second thoughts now? Too late!" The Tiger Clan member's face turned cold as he reached out to grab Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan frowned, and the dragon might within him erupted violently.

"Bang!"

With a single palm strike, Ye Yuan sent the Tiger Clan member flying.

This Tiger Clan member was at the early fifth rank and thought capturing Ye Yuan would be a piece of cake.

But who knew Ye Yuan would defeat him in one move?

Clearly, Ye Yuan didn't want to escalate matters and had held back.

Ye Yuan's strike wasn't heavy, so the Tiger Clan member's injuries were minor, but the dragon might Ye Yuan emitted greatly surprised him.

This dragon might was extremely pure—what else could it be but orthodox dragon bloodline?

How... how could there be two Dragon Lords?

"Who dares to run wild in our Dark Demon Tiger Clan!" The commotion eventually attracted many Tiger Clan members. A young man stepped forward and shouted.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "We came in good faith to deliver news, yet your clan immediately tries to seize us. Is this how you treat guests?"

"Hmm? A human?" The young man was surprised.

"Young Master Huxiao, this man carries extremely pure dragon blood and just now... claimed to be the Dragon Lord!" The Tiger Clan member Ye Yuan had knocked down had recovered and came forward to report.

This young man was actually the young master of the Dark Demon Tiger Clan!

Hearing this, Huxiao raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Dragon Lord? What a joke!"

Ye Yuan glanced at Huxiao and said calmly, "Young Master Huxiao, is it? It's just a misunderstanding! I carry dragon blood and have grown reverse scales. Previously, I had no choice but to impersonate the Dragon Lord and fight a great battle with Peng Yun. That's why Senior Xiong Zhan misunderstood."

"You fought Peng Yun? Haha, what a joke! With your strength, how could you possibly be a match for Peng Yun?"

Huxiao laughed as if he'd heard a hilarious joke. Ye Yuan was only at the mid fourth rank—how could he be a match for Peng Yun?

If you're going to brag, at least make it believable!

Xiong Zhan had remained silent, but now hearing Huxiao's contempt for Ye Yuan, he became displeased.

"Young Master Huxiao, this is absolutely true! My entire Blaze True Bear Clan can vouch for him! If not for Ye Yuan, my Blaze True Bear Clan would have been completely wiped out! I came today specifically to report this to Lord Hurong, but instead I'm treated as having ulterior motives! Hmph! Ye Yuan, let's go! I never thought that my bear clan, fighting to the death against enemies, would be repaid like this! Lord Huyan has been missing for years—it seems the Dark Demon Tiger Clan has truly changed!"

The Tiger Clan's attitude deeply wounded Xiong Zhan's heart, making even this elder feel chilled.

Back when Lord Huyan was around, the Dark Demon Tiger Clan had the Thousand Mountain Roc Clan completely suppressed.

Now, heh...

Xiong Zhan ignored Huxiao and turned to leave.

Xiong Zhan was at least a sixth-rank expert; not many could stop him.

Just then, a middle-aged man appeared before Xiong Zhan, blocking his path.

"Brother Xiong Zhan, don't be angry. The young are inexperienced; don't bother with them! You are an elder of our Dark Demon Tiger territory. Even if others had ulterior motives, you wouldn't." The newcomer said with a smile, as if greeting an old friend.

Seeing the newcomer, Xiong Zhan's eyes reddened. "Lord... Hurong, it's been... so long!"

Hurong sighed softly. "Ah... yes, it's been a long time!"

...

Inside the clan, after hearing Xiong Zhan's report, Hurong looked deeply at Ye Yuan.

He couldn't imagine how this fourth-rank youth had accomplished such feats.

Xiong Zhan's words sounded like a fantasy, utterly lacking credibility.

Amid a crowd of fifth- and sixth-rank experts, a fourth-rank youth had dominated the battle, using another's hand to kill a sixth-rank expert and severely wound Peng Yun.

This series of events sounded absurd!

After Xiong Zhan finished, Hurong nodded and said, "So many things have happened in between! Brother Xiong Zhan has worked hard. It's getting late today. You and this young brother rest in the clan first. Tomorrow, I will properly reward you both."

Xiong Zhan wasn't foolish; he could tell Hurong didn't believe him.

But Xiong Zhan also knew that what he said was indeed too incredible, sounding like a made-up story.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes but heard it from someone else, he wouldn't have believed it either.

Xiong Zhan nodded, turned, and left with Ye Yuan.

After they left, Hurong suddenly spoke, "Xiao'er, how much credibility do you think Xiong Zhan's words have?"

Huxiao emerged from the inner room and shook his head. "Son thinks not even one percent! That Ye Yuan is only at the fourth rank. Even if he can fight above his level, how could he defeat Peng Yun? Moreover, the Roc Clan excels in speed. Having a fourth-rank martial artist compete in speed with a late fifth-rank Peng Yun... isn't that a joke?"

Hurong nodded but didn't comment, instead asking, "Have the men been sent out?"

Huxiao nodded. "They've been sent, but it will take at least three or four days to investigate."

"Hmm, Xiong Zhan is an elder of our Dark Demon Tiger Clan. He once received great kindness from my elder brother, so I doubt he would betray the clan. But that young man's origins are unclear, and we must be wary! If there's any problem, it's likely that young man's doing. Alas... if only my elder brother could recover, we wouldn't have to tread so carefully these years." Hurong said.

"Alas... there's no helping it." Huxiao sighed along, then suddenly had an idea. He leaned in and said to Hurong, "Uncle Rong, why not send someone to test that kid? Whether he's truly capable or just boasting, we'll find out with a test."

"You mean..."

"That kid claims to be the Dragon Lord, right? Then let the real Dragon Lord spar with him and see who is the true Dragon Lord!" Huxiao thought this was an excellent idea and said smugly.

Hurong's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea! The Dragon Lord's identity is extraordinary. If he learns someone is impersonating him, he won't tolerate it!"
