Chapter 1756 Doubting Their Identities

"Z-Zither Goddess, I am going to ask you a question, and you'll need to answer me as if your life depends on it."

The Dragon King spoke with a grim expression shortly after Tan Songyun exposed the Dragon Emperor.

Tan Songyun didn't wait for the question and responded, "That Dragon Emperor is a fake, and I am willing to stake my life on this claim."

The Dragon King stared at her in silence for a long moment before nodding his head, "Alright. I believe you. Honestly, I have been a little suspicious of their identity since the very beginning, but it wasn't enough to make me call them out. After all, there's a slight chance that they were the real deal."

"However, after hearing your words, it has become clear to me that they are likely imposters."

Tan Songyun nodded, "Thank you for believing me."

"That begs the question, what is their objective?" she asked the next moment.

The Dragon King hesitated for a moment before responding, "They're here for my Ancient Seal." _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

"What is that?" Tan Songyun raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner.

The existence of Ancient Seals was a highly sensitive and closely guarded secret, with the Celestial Emperor actively suppressing their spread to minimize the risk of anyone attempting to obtain them.

Aware of how sensitive the information was, the Dragon King said, "I cannot tell you. All I can say is that it is an extremely dangerous object that must not fall into the wrong hands, or it could bring disaster to the Nine Heavens."

'Being disaster to the Nine Heavens…? Why would he want something dangerous like that?' Tan Songyun pondered inwardly.

"Anyway, what are you going to do now that you know they're imposters?"

The Dragon King fell silent again. Sometime later, he said, "I cannot outright call them frauds. It's not that I don't trust you, but there is still a tiny chance they could be the real deal."

Tan Songyun couldn't fault the Dragon King for being cautious. After all, a single mistake or offense toward a Dragon Emperor could lead to the execution of his entire Shen Family.

Moreover, although Tan Songyun was 99 percent confident that the Dragon Emperor was Tian Kai in disguise, she was not absolutely certain herself. The possibility that the Dragon Emperor was a real Dragon Emperor had crossed her mind, but she simply couldn't believe it.

"I am going to go after the Dragon Emperor's identity since it'd be difficult to expose the one who claims to be from the Xi Family, as I know nothing about the Xi Family myself," said the Dragon King.

Sometime later, the Dragon King summoned everyone from the Shen Family, excluding Yuan and Xi Meili, before revealing the truth to them.

"What?! They're imposters?!"

"That's ridiculous!"
