Chapter 1344: Chapter 1348: To Be a Suppressing Beast?

Zhu Minglang continued to pretend he was entangled in combat with the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon, while also pondering a way to escape.

Initially, Zhu Minglang’s strength was far from sufficient to contend with Ji Yuanye the Daoist Elder, but since the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon turned out to be the Great Rebel Blemish, everything had a turning point.

However, judging by Zhu Minglang’s divine sense and vigilance, Ji Yuanye’s strength was absolutely extraordinary.

In Zhu Minglang’s view, he was at least on par with the Executioner Cauldron Dragon, perhaps even adept in some inconceivable methods.

A wicked immortal like this must be handled with extreme caution.

While Zhu Minglang was lost in thought, his divine sense suddenly captured a trace of an abnormal presence.

Outside the Little Fairy Village, there were other powerful figures lurking!

They weren’t hidden there beforehand but had arrived after he entered!

"Brother Zhu, our formation is complete; would you mind stepping aside?" Ji Yuanye kindly reminded.

"I sensed someone wandering outside the village. Daoist Ji, have you not noticed? If their intentions are malicious, we and this Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon might end up as the clam and the snipe fighting, only for someone else to reap the benefits." Zhu Minglang said.

Ji Yuanye was shocked internally once again—this man’s divine sense was remarkably sharp!

Indeed, he was an immortal hero from a hundred years ago!

"Brother Zhu, no need to worry; the one coming is Zhen Nan Zun from the Southern Heavenly Palace, one of the three ancestral guardians of the palace. If you are a disciple of the Southern Heavenly Palace, he will naturally recognize you!" Ji Yuanye replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

This cunning scoundrel! So he had reinforcements arriving all along. Luckily, Zhu Minglang had been mixing truth and lies in their conversation; otherwise, if Zhen Nan Zun arrived and exposed his deceit, he would be annihilated on the spot!

"Give me a moment longer; my dragon is currently entangled and temporarily can’t be summoned back!" Zhu Minglang shouted to Ji Yuanye.

"Hurry up. This dragon just escaped the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon; its spiritual power and revenant aura haven’t fully recovered yet, meaning its strength is greatly suppressed. But if it absorbs some of the vital energy of heaven and earth, it will become nearly impossible to capture!" Ji Yuanye urged.

Zhu Minglang pretended to respond while his mind was racing!

Was it really time for the Sword Spirit Dragon to intervene?

The time was pressing. Just as Zhu Minglang planned to summon the Sword Spirit Dragon, he spotted a familiar figure entering the Little Fairy Village!

That person was an Immortal Elder from the Southern Heavenly Palace, specifically the Town Mountain Immortal Huang Chang, who had intended to recruit Zhu Minglang as a direct disciple!

If that were the case, Ji Yuanye was indeed carrying out a secret operation for the Southern Heavenly Palace, aiming to capture the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon and place it into the Beast Guardian Land of the palace!

If this were true...

There was room for maneuvering!

Beast Guardian Land—that’s a place Zhu Minglang was very familiar with.

From visiting the Thirteen Zhendao Beasts to the Executioner Cauldron Dragon and the White Kirin, Zhu Minglang would always make time, no matter how busy, to check on them and feed them.

"Reverse Spot, listen to me. Pretend you’re overly weakened and don’t resist too much... They plan to take you to the Beast Guardian Land." Zhu Minglang whispered to the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon.

"Huff~~~~~" The Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon locked its gaze on Zhen Nan Zun, showing visible anger.

"That guy’s your nemesis, right? No worries, endure for now. Later, we’ll turn the tables and wipe them all out!" Zhu Minglang assured.

The Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon didn’t respond verbally, but Zhu Minglang could infer that Zhen Nan Zun must have been the one who sealed it in the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon, keeping it confined for countless years.

The Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon naturally didn’t doubt Zhu Minglang’s decision.

It continued to act cooperatively, demonstrating the Earthbound Dragon’s unyielding arrogance and strength. Yet, during the clashes with these formidable Daoists and Dragon Shepherds, it subtly revealed traces of weakness and exhaustion.

Several times, the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon nearly ignited its tail’s Earthbound Lamp, whose infernal brilliance could annihilate most people and dragons instantly.

This power was why Zhen Nan Zun hadn’t subdued the dragon outright back then but instead sealed it within the well.

Zhen Nan Zun had gone to great lengths to summon Ji Yuanye from afar in Hao Tian and use the Dragon Soul Banner to neutralize the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon. Otherwise, if he had faced it alone, his entire faction would likely have been reduced to white bones!

"Its revenant aura has been drained by the Well of the Imprisoned Dragon. Everyone, there’s no need to panic—today is the perfect opportunity to subdue it! We must not let it slip through our fingers!" Zhen Nan Immortal Huang Kun declared.

"Everyone, move in harmony!"

"Don’t inflict permanent injuries; it’s needed as the Southern Heavenly Palace’s Suppressing Beast!"

Zhen Nan Immortal feared the Earthbound Lamp the most; now that the dragon couldn’t activate it, his courage surged, and he joined Ji Yuanye and the Daoists, working together to restrain the dragon.

A hundred Daoists waved their Dragon Banners in unison, transforming the Little Fairy Village into a boundless desert, where countless Azure Dragons churned within the boiling, scorching sands. The desert roiled and erupted!

These summoned dragon souls were indeed the nemesis of the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon; it excelled at devastating living creatures but struggled against these spectral dragon souls unleashed by the banners. Unable to kill them, it remained trapped and was steadily depleted.

The Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon used roughly half of its strength and burned through about half of its stamina.

It planned to conserve the rest and wait for the right moment.

Zhu Minglang had retreated to the sidelines. Even with the Reverse Spot intentionally cooperating in its capture, the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon still displayed terrifying power. Despite the combined forces of Ji Yuanye’s one hundred elite Daoists, Zhen Nan Immortal, and an array of Moon Radiance God Realm immortal heroes, they hadn’t subdued it after several hours...

Were it not for Zhu Minglang knowing the Little Fairy Village had been completely sealed off by the Sky-separating Talisman, he might have considered attempting a breakout with the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon.

The Sky-separating Talisman was something Ji Yuanye had spared no expense to deploy. Its isolating power was exceedingly formidable—easy to enter but dauntingly difficult to leave.

"How did you end up here??" Town Mountain Immortal Huang Chang quickly recognized Zhu Minglang, his face filled with astonishment.

"Guided by my master," Zhu Minglang directly mentioned the Weaver Star Fairy, speaking truthfully.

Town Mountain Immortal Huang Chang thought about it for a moment and concluded that the Weaver Star Fairy might have foreseen the situation, sending someone to monitor it, worried that Ji Yuanye’s group might do something outrageous in Jun Tian.

"This Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon caused heavy losses to our Town Mountain Faction a decade ago. Even our ancestral master couldn’t handle it and had to seal it here to wear down its ferocity and divine power while seeking suitable collaborators to subdue this dragon." Huang Chang didn’t fight; he simply watched from the sidelines and shared the dragon’s background with Zhu Minglang.
