Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1965

After Yuan offered the Immortal Monarch's blood for the Tear of the Azure Heavens, Jiao Zhenhai began to seriously contemplate his offer.

The Immortal Monarch's blood would not only help the Azure Dragon Clan recover their weakened bloodline but might even strengthen it past their original purity.

"H-How many drops of the Immortal Monarch's blood do you possess?" Jiao Zhenhai asked in a hesitant tone.

Yuan smiled and said, "Enough for you and all of your children."

"That much?!" Jiao Zhenhai almost couldn't believe his ears.

However, Jiao Zhenhai didn't immediately agree and pondered.

'The Tears of Azure Heavens has been with our family since ancient times, but if I'm being honest, we have no use for it. Hell, we don't even know what it does. However, if we have the Immortal Monarch's blood, it would solve our predicament and might even strengthen our bloodline.'

'But for him to offer something as valuable as the Immortal Monarch's blood, the Tears of Azure Heavens must be as valuable, if not even more valuable, than the Immortal Monarch's blood… Damn it! Do I take his offer or not?!'

Eventually, Jiao Zhenhai made up his mind and spoke, "I'm—"

However, Jiao Zhenhai's voice abruptly stopped, and his eyes widened with shock and disbelief when Yuan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Both Jiao Zhenhai and Yuan simultaneously looked down, only to see a gleaming blue trident jutting clean through Yuan's chest, right where his heart was located.

The next moment, Yuan collapsed to the ground.

"W-What?!" Jiao Zhenhai exclaimed in bewilderment, mostly because he recognized the tridant.

He subconsciously turned to look at the entrance and saw a lone figure standing there.

"Second Elder?! How did you get in here?! No, more important, what do you think you're doing?!"

"What does it look like I am doing?" the Second Elder calmly responded.

"Don't tell me… you've betrayed the Azure Dragon Clan too?!" Jiao Zhenhai's voice trembled with disbelief as shock flooded his face.

After the First Elder and the Third Elder's sudden betrayal, they had tirelessly interrogated the Second Elder for the past four months to ensure that he wasn't working with them since the three of them were like peas in a pod. And after many hours of questioning, the Second Elder had been cleared of any suspicion.

But alas…

"Why did the three of you betray the Azure Dragon Clan?!" Jiao Zhenhai roared as his cultivation erupted furiously.

The Second Elder shrugged and said, "It's quite simple. The Azure Dragon Clan is no longer worth our protection and loyalty."

"There's no way you'd be stupid enough to betray us over such a reason!"

The Second Elder smiled and said, "You're right. We found a place that's worth our loyalty."

"Who?! Who are you working for?!" Jiao Zhenhai roared as he pounced at the Second Elder.

"Does it even matter? The Azure Dragon Clan will soon cease to exist, anyway."
