Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 309 Ancient Spirit

"This must be a misunderstanding. I suggest we don't jump to conclusions," the leading Elder said sternly as he stood up from the table. "We will ask Queen Luna about this incident once she comes back and clears the confusion."

The other six neutral Elders hesitated for a moment and were about to follow its leader but the youngest Elder hammered at their indecisiveness. "Misunderstanding? Confusion? Bullshit! You all know the truth but you don't want to fucking admit it. Our Queen has always been a slut and she finally showed her true colors." 

"Shut up!" The eldest Elder bellowed in anger with his Dragon voice, causing the whole hall to shake. "You are overstepping your boundaries! The Queen is a great leader who brought us back from the bottom. Without her, our Dragon Race would still be in chaos. How dare you insult your Queen?!"

"Brought us back?" the youngest Elder laughed shamelessly. "We were once one of the strongest races that no one dared to offend. We had access to Beyond the Heavens and other best resource sites but look at us now. We were kicked out like dogs and now live in this small ass Realm. Even humans are no longer scared of us." 

He didn't stop at that and added more salt to the injury, "All of you are in love with that slut and you don't want to admit how much we regressed under her ruling. If only any of you succeeded and took over the power, we wouldn't be in this position. You waited so long to make your move that she finally bent her back for someone else." 

The Elders darkened as their aura seeped through their bodies but they didn't do anything other than glare. The youngest Elder was insulting their Queen but all of them thought the same even if they didn't show it. They were sure their Race would prosper if the Queen chose any of them to be her King. It was already suggested many times but Queen never took on their offer. 

"Don't listen to him. He is trying to corrupt your mind and turn you against the Queen," the Eldest Elder commented before assuring. "I can bet the Queen has a reasonable explanation. I felt some Dragon Bloodline from him and I'm sure the Queen did as well. She probably wanted to check his physique and recruit him which could explain why he appeared naked. If she indeed gave her body away, would she really act so careless and let herself be seen with a naked man?" 

The reasoning made sense and the Elders began to relax a bit but the youngest Elder didn't give up. "Recruit him? That motherfucker killed hundreds of Dragons and she wants to recruit him? Did we really fall so low that we befriend our invaders to survive? What does it say about our future?"

That alone crushed the last bits of hesitation from the Elders. 

"Let's find the Queen and question her. This is too much for her to handle alone." 

"We need to stand united and protect our land. We can't let that man join the Dragon Race." 

They all carried determined expressions as they readied themselves to depart, leaving the eldest Elder in a losing position. He was the Queen's best friend and knew her very well. She would never do anything that could potentially harm their race.

"Once the Queen explains herself, that man will die for treason," the eldest Elder warned while pointing at the traitor. "Don't follow in his footsteps or you will end up like him."

The youngest Elder only burst out laughing as he headed towards the exit. "We will see about that. I can bet my life that Queen has already given her body away. Let's start with the Sacred Altar. If the invader is being recruited, the Queen would sign a Blood Pact with him. We can't let that happen." 

The warning had little to no effect as the Elders followed right after the youngster, forcing the eldest Elder to join them. He wasn't worried though since he believed the Queen would always prioritize Dragon Race's prosperity and she would never succumb to her sexual desires. 

Unfortunately, he was wrong. 

The moment the Elders departed, Xuefeng was already closing into the Sacred Altar and the woman they all wanted was laying comfortably in his embrace. His palm was casually placed on her bottom and he squeezed from time to time, something the Elders have always dreamed about. 

Dragon Queen didn't mind it in the slightest and she even left numerous kisses on his neck along the way. Her mind was still full of flashbacks from Xuefeng's domination of her body which made their trip beyond spicy. 

"Can you women stop fighting? The Sacred Altar is right ahead," Xuefeng informed while slapping two butts with no mercy. "I'm going to cancel the cover." 

They didn't wish to be spotted by anyone so Xuefeng exposed one of his strengths to turn invisible. It forced Dragon Queen and Thunder Goddess to hug him during the flight which caused some tension between them. 

"We are not fighting," Dragon Queen denied as she released him and winked at Thunder Goddess. "Are we?" 

"Not at all," Thunder Goddess shook her head and claimed the other half of Xuefeng's body for herself. "Just showing appreciation that you carried us." 

She smiled right after and leaned over to the kiss marks Dragon Queen made before rewriting them with her own. Xuefeng knew exactly what she was doing but he didn't step into their conflict. He actually found it funny how defensive Thunder Goddess could be when he was on the line. 

"Let's hurry, we don't have much time," Xuefeng changed the subject as he landed and let go of Thunder Goddess after a deep kiss. She was still his woman so he had to show his favoritism. 

Dragon Queen didn't comment on that and simply walked away with a smile, "Sure, follow me."

The Sacred Altar turned out to be much smaller than he expected, consisting of nine stone pillars and a round podium. Each pillar extended a carved line before connecting in the middle. 

'This formation looks interesting…' Ming muttered curiously in Xuefeng's mind. 'Ask her afterward if she knows any other uses this Sacred Altar can be used for.' 

"Come on the platform alone," Dragon Queen ordered as she walked up to the middle and pulled out a single red crystal. "This Blood Stone will activate the formation for us and summon the Ancient Spirit. It will curse our Bloodline and destroy it in case we don't follow the terms of our agreement." 

Xuefeng raised his eyebrows at that information but before he could ask any more questions, Dragon Queen placed the Blood Stone in the small hole at the center of the platform. It immediately lit up and the stone liquified before streaming towards all nine stone pillars. 

'Do you know anything about Ancient Spiri—' Xuefeng raised a question in his mind but he was momentarily cut off by a panicked voice of Ming. 

'Get out of here, NOW!'
