Chapter 1022 Azure Dragon Tribe (6)
Qing Qiang didn't waste any time as he went over to greet the representatives from these two tribes.
However, this time, he wasn't able to reach them in time before his father's subordinates went over to greet them.
Then when he tried to take over for them, they once again showed the same token as before to shut him down.
He never thought that his father would go all out against him like this…
But there was nothing that he could do.
But the Black Dragon Tribe representative rejected being shown around by his father's subordinates in favour of being shown around by Qing Qiang.
Since it was a personal request from the Black Dragon Tribe representative, there wasn't anything that the subordinates could do. So they headed off with the Yellow Dragon Tribe representative alone, leaving the Black Dragon Tribe representative with Qing Qiang.
Qing Qiang wasn't happy that they would only listen to the Black Dragon Tribe representative and not him here in the Azure Dragon Tribe, but he wouldn't let that displeasure impede him.
He turned to the Black Dragon Tribe representative and said, "Brother Hei, it really has been a long time."
The one he called brother Hei, whose name was Hei Tie nodded back at him and said, "Brother Qing, it really has been a long time."
Unlike the Red Dragon Tribe and the Yellow Dragon Tribe representative, this Black Dragon Tribe representative didn't look at Qing Qiang with disdain.
That was because the Black Dragon Tribe was one of the tribes that were in the war faction. They wanted to end this false peace that the elders had created and wage war on the humans and the other races, showing that the Dragon Race was the superior race.
It wasn't a secret that Qing Qiang was someone who wanted war, so of course he got along well with this Hei Tie.
The two of them exchanged greetings for the sake of appearances before they headed off to a private corner.
Once they were there, Hei Tie asked Qing Qiang in a hushed voice, "Brother Qing, what is this meeting about?" As he asked this, Hei Tie had a very confused look on his face.
Qing Qiang couldn't help revealing an awkward smile when he heard this before shaking his head, "I don't know."
Hei Tie couldn't help being surprised when he saw this before asking, "Isn't this a meeting called by your Azure Dragon Tribe, why don't you know what it's about?"
Qing Qiang's smile became even more awkward as he said, "This was called by my father, I had nothing to do with it. I'm sure that you saw how those servants of his completely ignored me just now."
Hearing this, Hei Tie knitted his brows deeply.
Hei Tie was the young heir of the Black Dragon Tribe, so he was someone with power. He naturally knew about the conflict between Qing Qiang and his father, so he understood what he meant by this.
If this was true, it would be bad for their war faction.
They had been waiting for Qing Qiang to take over the Azure Dragon Tribe so that they would be able to have more influence in the entire Dragon Race. However, if Qing Qiang's father were to stop him from inheriting the position as the head of the Azure Dragon Tribe, that would ruin their plans.
So the three tribes of the war faction had been secretly supporting Qing Qiang's bid as the next head.
Hei Tie was silent for a bit before asking in a serious voice, "What do you know?"
Qing Qiang just shook his head to show that he knew nothing at all.
Hei Tie's expression became even more ugly when he saw this, but he took a deep breath and said, "Let's see what happens next and then we'll plan our next move."
For now, they were on the disadvantageous side since they didn't know anything about the Azure Dragon Tribe head's next move. In this situation, if they were to make rash moves, it would hurt them rather than help them.
So it was better for them to wait and see what the Azure Dragon Tribe's head had planned.
Since there were three different tribes that were supporting Qing Qiang, they had quite a bit of power. They had been able to maintain surveillance over the Azure Dragon Tribe's head during this time.
If it was a big move, they would have already seen clues of this.
So whatever this was, it wasn't big enough that it would bring an end to this power struggle.
It was better for them to wait and see what would happen next.
Qing Qiang thought about it before nodding along to Hei Tie's suggestion.
He had been quite anxious because he thought that his father had found some kind of ultimate card to use against him, but now that Hei Tie was telling him to wait, he knew that this wasn't the case. After all, if he had found something, the Black Dragon Tribe and the other two war faction tribes would have warned him.
Since this wasn't the case, it seemed like there was nothing for him to worry about.
Or at least that was what he told himself.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't help feeling an uneasy feeling deep down.
That only got worse when…the representatives from more dragon tribes arrived.
This time, two more representatives came. One was from the Green Dragon Tribe and one was from the Gold Dragon Tribe.
The representative from the Green Dragon Tribe went with the head's subordinates while the representative from the Gold Dragon Tribe went with Qing Qiang's group.
The Gold Dragon Tribe was another one of the war faction tribes.
After arriving, the Gold Dragon Tribe's representative Jin Yu immediately asked them what the situation was. However, just like before, they told him that they didn't know a single thing.
But they also couldn't help asking Jin Yu why he was here.
Jin Yu shook his head and said, "We received an invitation from the Azure Dragon Tribe head late last night asking for a representative from our tribe at this meeting today. We didn't know that the other dragon tribes had also been invited."
After saying this, he turned to look at the groups from the Red Dragon Tribe, the Yellow Dragon Tribe, and the Green Dragon Tribe.
With this new group of representatives that arrived, six out of the eight dragon tribes had been gathered here.
The importance of this meeting had gone up another level.
The only way that it could become more serious was if representatives from the remaining two dragon tribes came as well…
And in the end, that was what happened.
A representative from the Purple Dragon Tribe and a representative from the White Dragon Tribe also arrived at this meeting.
The representative from the Purple Dragon Tribe went over to Qing Qiang's group while the White Dragon Tribe's representative headed off to meet Qing Qiang's father.
Once the representatives from all eight dragon tribes had arrived, everyone started feeling anxious.
They finally realized that they had completely underestimated this meeting.
Whatever was about to happen now…it could possibly shape the entire future of the Dragon Race.
As they realized this, Qing Qiang was also feeling more and more uneasy. But it wasn't just Qing Qiang who was feeling this way. It was also the other three representatives from the war faction that were feeling the same way.
They looked at each other and exchanged secret eye signals, but in the end, all three of them shook their heads.
Not a single one of their tribes had noticed anything off with Qing Qiang's father during this time.
But even after the representatives from all seven other tribes arrived, the meeting still didn't begin.
They were made to wait another hour before the Azure Dragon Tribe's head, Qing Qiang's father finally showed himself.
The war faction representatives were all uneasy over this and seeing this, the Azure Dragon Tribe's head couldn't help revealing a faint smile. This was the effect that he wanted to see, which was why he had delayed for another hour even though everyone had arrived.
After he stepped up onto the stage, everyone fell silent and waited for him to speak.
But the Azure Dragon Tribe's head just stood there without saying a thing.
During this time, his eyes fell onto Qing Qiang.
When Qing Qiang saw his father staring at him, he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine. However, it wasn't because he was staring at him…it was because of the look in his eyes.
The way that he looked at him, those eyes that were filled with sympathy, it was as if he could already see the end of their power struggle and he was about to end it today.
This feeling made Qing Qiang very uneasy since he still had no idea what was happening today.
The war faction representatives with Qing Qiang had also noticed this and they all gave him secret signals to calm down. But deep in their hearts, they also felt uneasy over this.
They could see how serious the Azure Dragon Tribe head's eyes were…
Could it be that they had really missed something?
After looking at him for a bit, the Azure Dragon Tribe head turned back to the crowd and said, "I want to welcome a special guest today."
"Special guests?" Confused whispers spread through the crowd.
As this happened, there was a cloaked person that suddenly appeared on stage.
There were a few guards that raised their weapons, but they quickly put it down after seeing the Azure Dragon Tribe head wave his hand for them to put it down.
Everyone couldn't help wondering just who this person was.
