Chapter 958: Chapter 595: Lock_2

"Not entering the tiger’s den, how can one get the tiger’s cub? Risk and opportunity come hand in hand."

Xu Yuan chuckled and rolled his eyes as sporadic memories flashed through his mind: "If we hadn’t taken the risk, we would have been left waiting for death. Now, can our situation still be compared with the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm?"

"Sophistry. Clearly, there were safer methods."

"Those safe methods you mentioned can’t solve the problem once and for all."

"Isn’t it better to make gradual progress?"

"Tch. If we did as you said, we would have died who knows how many times."

"How would we know without trying?" Tianyan frowned, his tone growing increasingly unpleasant.

Mentioning this, Xu Yuan couldn’t help but reply with annoyance: "That time in Sword Casting Valley, if we had simply run away as you suggested, do you think we’d be alive?"

"Do you even have the face to mention that incident? You thought we only had one Mortal Transcendence leading the team, but what about the outcome? One Mortal Transcendence and one Semi-Saint—that is, if we were not lucky and our Cultivation Technique wasn’t inherently capable of restraining the opponent’s Dao Domain, we would have died on the spot!"

"Ah yes, running away would have ensured our safety; the Semi-Saint could have committed suicide."

"Xu Yuan, what are you implying?"

"The literal meaning." Xu Yuan retorted, neck stiffening.

Tianyan’s eyes filled with reproach as he stared at him, then let out a cold laugh:

"Indeed, you should insist that you were right."

With that,

the girl’s crisp voice slightly rose:

"If you didn’t do so, you wouldn’t be able to entangle yourself with that enchantress Tian Ye."

"..." Ran Qingmo’s eyes widened in shock.

"..." Bai Muxi’s eyes showed terror.

"..." Su Jinxuan seemed thoughtful.

Xu Yuan was comparatively very calm:

"Why bring up a dead person?"

Tianyan’s gaze held scrutiny:

"Dead person? Is she really dead? After the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow survived for so long, who knows if she had some means to persist."

Xu Yuan’s brows furrowed:

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Ha~ getting anxious, are you?"

Tianyan’s beautiful eyes gradually narrowed as she looked Xu Yuan up and down for a few breaths, her frown deepening: "Has that enchantress really survived?"

While saying this,

the girl’s slender and graceful figure suddenly used Teleportation to get to Xu Yuan’s side, reaching out to grab his wrist.

Xu Yuan tried to dodge but couldn’t.

This was not good.

He was still connected to Tian Ye by the Lifebound Lock.

If Tianyan discovered it...

Thinking this, Xu Yuan eagerly looked for help from the other three women around him with puppy-dog eyes.

Ran Qingmo had a distant gaze, her lips pursed as she looked down.

Disappointed...

Su Jinxuan gave a gentle and charming smile but then helplessly shook her head.

I’m sorry, unable to fight, unable to do.

Xiao Bai was about to speak up without hesitation but was immediately intimidated by a glare and quickly lowered her head.

Amidst the howling wind, the group of five suddenly halted.

In the eerie silence, Xu Yuan could only watch helplessly as Tianyan poured her Celestial Fates Divine Soul into his body.

As Xu Yuan himself had a divine soul trait, there was no deconstructive reaction between them.

Tianyan, as if she had foreseen it, made a beeline for his Sea of Consciousness; in nearly an instant, his Sea of Consciousness was filled with her divine soul.

At that moment, Xu Yuan suddenly relaxed, letting the girl do as she wished.

The linker of the Lifebound Lock himself wasn’t sure where Tian Ye was or in what form she existed; how could Tianyan possibly find a clue?

With this thought in mind, a smirk began to form in Xu Yuan’s heart, but then a sudden realization made him shudder with fear.

Within the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm,

the girl before him had more than once tried to help him touch the Lifebound Lock that Tian Ye had placed on him.

Damn it.

As the thought passed,

Xu Yuan sensed that Tianyan’s divine soul was about to touch the Lifebound Lock hidden in the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness.

But just before this touch,

"Crack..."

A sound of a chain shattering suddenly erupted in his ears.

Then,

Xu Yuan found the Lifebound Lock that Tian Ye had originally planted on him suddenly shattered into little stars and dissolved into his Sea of Consciousness.

This left Tianyan grasping at nothing, confusion appearing in her golden eyes.

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; it seems Tian Ye had already taken a step ahead to dissolve the Lifebound Lock.

Dammit, what’s this cybernetic affair within the skull.

"What are you making an unreasonable scene about?"

Xu Yuan saw Tianyan’s divine soul gradually filling up his Sea of Consciousness and being pulled away, and he jerked his hand away, transmitting his voice with a touch of ridicule:

"Don’t you remember how old Tian Ye was when she slew the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow to control the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree? A grandma over a hundred years old!"

"..." Tianyan.

"..." Tian Ye.

Seeing the girl fall silent, Xu Yuan pressed on his advantage:

"It’s rather amusing to be jealous over something from twenty thousand years ago, and you don’t even pick the right moment. Is now really the time to talk about this?"

Entering one ear and out the other, the confusion in Tianyan’s eyes didn’t lessen in the slightest.

She didn’t understand...

Why she could be mistaken.

All the times that scoundrel lied before, he was just like this, had she missed something?

After more than a decade of close interaction, Tianyan had no doubt about her own conjecture, but felt that the bastard in front of her had played some trick to fool her again.

With a sneer, Tianyan coldly glanced at him, hmphed, and then sped off towards the front.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan also let out a sigh of relief, gestured for the women to follow, and began to introspect within his own Sea of Consciousness.

According to the memories from the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, once the Lifebound Lock is established, it’s difficult to break.

At the very least, it can’t be broken from a great distance.

And,

Why did it suddenly shatter after Tianyan’s divine soul probed into his Sea of Consciousness?

Given that Enchantress’s temperament, rather than fearing being caught in an affair, she’d likely wish for a scandal to happen right before her...

Xu Yuan thought about this question all the way, but still couldn’t find the answer.

After entering the valley as mentioned by Ran Qingmo, Xu Yuan slowly gathered his scattered thoughts.

Led by the Big Ice Lump, a group of five made their way towards a cave in the valley.

In "Cangyuan," Burial Dragon Valley was not a dungeon, but a chance encounter.

Similar to the cave underneath Tianmen Mountain that sheltered the Blood Essence Meteoring Art.

No minions, no bosses, as long as you enter, you could obtain the corresponding treasures.

Now that it had turned into reality, aside from some extra wind and sand from the Evil Spirit Abyss, there were no changes.

Entering the cave, they proceeded through the narrow passage that had been dug out, forcibly breaking open some loose soil collapses along the way, until a vast and dark grotto came into view.

The grotto had no hint of flowing wind; it was entirely blocked off, huge and dark.

Piercing the darkness, the gaze of the five converged on the deepest part of the grotto.

There lay a conical massive hill of earth.

Which was supposed to be the grave of that little male dragon.

Before its death, it coiled its massive body like a serpentine.

Decades of earth piling down from the top of the cave gradually formed this hill.

In the game, Xu Yuan had to shovel away the earth bit by bit to see the true form of that demon dragon.

Now, however, Xu Yuan simply gave Xiao Bai a brief glance.

Bai Muxi instantly understood, with a flick of her delicate fingers, after the hill emitted a faint quiver,

A colossal dragon carcass stretching dozens of yards long was forcibly pulled out from within the hill and landed with a thunderous rumble in front of the group, kicking up a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled,

A pair of round, bulging dragon eyes starkly came into view, staring lifelessly at the insignificant humans before them.

The flesh showed no signs of decay after decades, and the fresh blood within the fierce wound that penetrated the dragon’s body had not even coagulated.

Tianyan floated in the air, gazing at the dragon carcass with a strange look:

"Xu Yuan, how did you know Bai Xing’s corpse was here?"

Bai Xing, the name of the little male dragon.

Xu Yuan gave the girl a mysterious smile:

"Guess?"

With that, Xu Yuan cheerfully strode forward while taking out the Willow Ghost Blade.

It was time to claim the treasure.

As the supreme of all demons, the Dragon Clan had treasures all over - aside from the Dragon Transformation Essence needed for Little Four’s research, the dragon scales, dragon claws, dragon eyes, and dragon head were all rare treasures for artifact crafting...

In Cangyuan, it was possible to dissect them, but if you dismember this little male dragon, even if you give the Dragon Transformation Essence to that little dragon girl, you can’t become a Dragon Knight.

But now, Xu Yuan had no such concerns.

The value of this demon dragon carcass alone could match the military expenses of the Earth Palace Remnants.

Thinking so, Xu Yuan leapt onto the dragon’s head, his Willow Ghost Blade drawing a brilliant arc of light.

A bloody mark instantly appeared at the center of the dragon’s forehead.

"Thwack."

Xu Yuan reached in with his hand, and a black spherical crystal appeared in his grasp.

And at this very instant,

As if plunged into an environment, a vivid and fierce dragon phantom suddenly appeared in front of him.
