1777 Return

　　For a moment, the pressure was overwhelming, and the world shook!

　　The expressions of the great phoenix dragons standing in the square changed, and they kneeled down. “Welcome, Ancestor!”

　　In the blink of an eye, a large number of people kneeled in the square! Even Miao Fushan and the others kneeled down respectfully!

　　Only Miao Yang stared at the huge apparition that suddenly appeared with shock, his mind going blank. Ancestor… This is really the ancestor’s might!

　　The ancestor of the great phoenix dragon clan was naturally long gone, but back then, that person had specially left some aura behind in the holy hall to protect the entire clan.

　　When the clansmen entered the holy hall, they would sense this faint aura and pressure. Therefore, they were very familiar with it.

　　It was precisely because of this that as soon as the apparition appeared and the vast aura spread out, everyone present immediately submitted!

　　Miao Yang’s legs trembled, and waves of powerlessness surged around him. He was on the verge of collapse as if he would fall to the ground at any moment.

　　He knew too well what this scene meant. The legacy of our ancestor is indeed still with Miao Zhen! Moreover, from the looks of it, Miao Zhen might’ve completely comprehended it! How could it be… How did this happen?

　　Miao Zhen raised his eyebrows at Miao Yang and snorted. “Miao Yang, why aren’t you kneeling when you see Ancestor?!”

　　Miao Yang suddenly came back to his senses, and his face turned pale.

　　Before he could react, the great phoenix dragon apparition in the air suddenly roared at the sky!

　　Roar!

　　An incomparably heavy force pressed down fiercely on Miao Yang’s shoulders!

　　Plop!

　　His body swayed, and he kneeled on the ground heavily with a muffled sound! At the same time, there was the sound of bones cracking.

　　The force was extremely great. This time, it actually smashed Miao Yang’s knees into the ground, and the surrounding cracks spread.

　　Miao Yang’s trembling intensified, and his face turned even paler.

　　The ancestor’s might could not be underestimated. In just this moment, the bones in his knees were broken!

　　Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.

　　When they saw Miao Yang’s sorry state, their expressions were different. Who would’ve thought that the usually glorious and noble clan leader, Miao Yang, would actually be in such a sorry state one day?

　　The ancestor’s might descended and directly punished Miao Yang. This time, everyone didn’t dare to approach him or speak up for him.

　　Although the clan leader’s status in the family was extremely high, the current situation was special.

　　Miao Yang had clearly used disgraceful methods to obtain a portion of Miao Zhen’s bloodline power and become the clan leader. Just this alone was enough for the nine elders to join forces and remove him from the position of clan leader, not to mention that the ancestor’s might had descended!

　　Of course, they were led by their ancestors!

　　…

　　Miao Zhen looked at Miao Fushan and the others. “Elders, please stand up first. We still need you to be present to bear witness.”

　　Hearing his words, the elders—including Miao Fushan—first looked at each other before standing up uneasily. It wasn’t that they were too timid, but too many things had happened today, and it was too shocking!

　　Nobody would believe it!

　　Finally, they focused on Miao Fushan. He was the most experienced existence here and had the most say; it was naturally appropriate for him to step forward.

　　Although Miao Fushan looked calm, his emotions were actually surging. After some thought, he took a step forward and cupped his hands at Miao Zhen.

　　Of course, this bow was for the ancestral apparition above Miao Zhen’s head.

　　After bowing seriously and respectfully, Miao Fushan glanced at Miao Zhen again. He had actually guessed something, but he wasn’t sure yet.

　　“Miao Zhen, how… did you summon the ancestor’s might?” Miao Fushan spoke slowly, clearly, and cautiously.

　　Everyone pricked up their ears because this was also what they were most curious about. After all, nobody had done this in tens of thousands of years!

　　Now that Miao Zhen had done it, how could they not be shocked?

　　Miao Zhen laughed and said loudly, “Elder Fushan, this is the question I asked you previously! The most important reason why Miao Yang tried his best to kill me at all costs back then was that I obtained the ancestor’s heirloom during the Thousand Summit!”

　　Countless people gasped. The ancestor’s heirloom! Over the years, nobody from the great phoenix dragon clan has obtained it. Unexpectedly, Miao Zhen had already—

　　Miao Fushan was also shocked and subconsciously asked, “What did you say? Back then, you obtained the ancestor’s heirloom during the Thousand Summit?!”

　　Miao Zhen smiled but said nothing. However, this was already equivalent to a silent acknowledgment.

　　In fact, even if he didn’t say it, everyone knew that it must be true.

　　In an instant, countless images appeared in Miao Fushan’s mind. It was as if a thread had finally strung those fragments together! No wonder… No wonder Miao Yang wanted to attack him!

　　No wonder Miao Zhen could still escape when he was in a desperate situation back then and hide in the coiling dragon pillar for a thousand years!

　　No wonder he could survive a thousand years without dying even though he only had a soul!

　　All of this now has an explanation—he had the ancestor’s heirloom!

　　Miao Zhen… He is the heir chosen by the ancestor!

　　“B-but why don’t we know about this? Why does only Miao Yang know?” Miao Fushan was puzzled. Under normal circumstances, nobody would mention what heirloom they had obtained from the coiling dragon pillar, and nobody would ask carefully. But Miao Zhen’s situation… He should’ve said it directly!

　　If he had directly announced it back then, the position of clan leader would’ve fallen into his hands. How could he have given Miao Yang a chance and caused so much trouble?

　　Miao Zhen laughed at himself. “This is really my fault. At that time, I was too arrogant and didn’t have enough vigilance. After suffering such a huge loss, I can only say that I deserved it.”

　　At that time, he was the pride of the clan and was extremely proud. After obtaining the ancestor’s heirloom, his pride turned into conceit.

　　He didn’t immediately reveal this news. He only wanted to announce it after he comprehended the ancestor’s heirloom.

　　But before he could wait for that day, Miao Yang’s series of schemes came.

　　At that time, he wasn’t prepared. By the time he realized that something was wrong and wanted to counterattack, it was too late!

　　This delay lasted for a thousand years.

　　Miao Zhen gazed at Miao Yang.

　　The latter had already fallen to his knees, his face ashen. This is the best evidence! I am really… done for this time!

　　Miao Zhen stepped forward and stood in front of Miao Yang, looking down at him. “Miao Yang, you’ve snatched my bloodline power and the position of clan leader for many years. It’s time for you to return them, right?”
