"Slave-dragons who rendered meritorious service would be gifted dragon blood, thereby gaining extraordinary bloodlines. Later, as True Dragons gradually went extinct, these slaves who possessed their bloodline began calling themselves the Dragon-Blooded Clans.
The dragon blood possessed miraculous properties. When many cultivators discovered this, they began to hunt down the descendants of the Dragon-Blooded Clans. Over time, the Dragon-Blooded Clans faded into obscurity, eventually leading people to mistakenly believe they had been completely eradicated."
"It seems the origins of the Dongfang Clan are not simple; they likely involve a fourth or even third-rank empire. No wonder the Blood Spirit Cult chose the assassination of the young master of the Dongfang Clan as their trigger."
