Chapter 965: Chapter 598: Smashing Down_2

Locking eyes for a moment, Xu Yuan quietly changed the topic with a murmur:

"YOU were the one who mentioned the moaning, why hit me? Which Demonic Beast was it?"

Tianyan gave a soft snort:

"I haven’t heard it before."

"Can’t tell the difference?"

"Um."

"Can you imitate that moan? Just use Spellcraft."

"..." Tianyan.

Bang!

Xu Yuan found himself kneeling on the ground, grimacing in pain.

Damn it, how did this Washboard Saintess catch that pronunciation?

Gritting his teeth, Xu Yuan stared at the aloof Tianyan who looked like a Goddess for a few breaths, then bearing the pain, he stood up under her gaze.

A true man can bend and stretch, now I’ll bend, today you kick me, but someday I’ll make sure this Goddess moans in sorrow.

"Alright, alright, no more joking around."

Saying this, he composed himself and asked in a low voice:

"Did you hear a dragon’s roar?"

"Suspected it, but not certain."

"Huh? Haven’t you ever heard the sound of a dragon’s roar before?"

"The people of the Dragon Clan are rare, always dwelling deep in the Ancient Abyss; how would I hear their cries?"

"....."

Hesitating for a moment, Xu Yuan asked with a hint of confusion:

"Jiatiange collaborating with the Ancient Abyss and has never seen any dragon folks?"

"Who told you Jiatiange has a collaboration with the Ancient Abyss?"

Tianyan rolled her eyes at Xu Yuan and said irritably:

"How many times do I have to say this, the purpose of Jiatiange is to ensure the prosperity of humankind, the Demon Race of the Ancient Abyss is the enemy of men. Even during the Ghoul calamity thousands of years ago, Jiatiange merely deflected the disaster forcefully dragging the Ancient Abyss into the war, never collaborating with them at all."

Xu Yuan’s eyes twinkled with amusement:

"Then how about Ji Qingyue’s actions when Ran Qingmo kidnapped me?"

Tianyan, unfazed:

"That was just providing information to that Snake Princess. She wanted to make a name for herself and took the bait willingly; instead, she failed to finish off a bastard like you."

"So that’s how it was....."

Xu Yuan nodded lightly recalling the past events and Ji Qingyue’s personality within Cangyuan, but upon hearing the last remark, he said with some dissatisfaction:

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

"Want to become a widow, huh?"

"Hmph, if I wanted you dead, you’d be dead by now."

"...."

Xu Yuan laughed at that, tried to lift his hand, found his restraints gone, and pinched the girl’s cheek:

"Is this your roundabout way of saying you don’t want to be a widow?"

Her face blushing slightly, she swatted away his hand and said in a low voice:

"Stop making trouble, but we’d better leave quickly whatever that moaning... beast moan was."

Xu Yuan thought for a bit, deciding not to tease the Saintess further, and then said:

"On the way here, an heir from the Mu Clan Commerce Guild told me that they had seen a Demon Dragon here."

Tianyan’s alertness rose, asking:

"Wasn’t this information told to you by Lady Wan?"

"Both of them mentioned it."

Xu Yuan reminisced about the "friend" he’d known for less than half a month and whispered, "Lady Wan’s words can’t be trusted, but there’s no reason for the other person to lie to me."

Saying this, Xu Yuan pointed at Burial Dragon Valley beneath their feet, his voice tinged with an ambiguous smile:

"That princess of the Dragon Clan is nearby, searching for her brother’s remains."

Sensing his tone, Tianyan instinctively became vigilant.

Based on what she knew about him, this bastard was most likely planning another adventure.

She stared at him:

"What are you thinking of doing?"

Xu Yuan rubbed his hands together, licked the corner of his lips, and whispered:

"Do you fancy joining me for a big score?"

Tianyan, expressionless:

"To kill Bai Qinqing?"

"You’re not interested?"

Xu Yuan winked at the girl, "She’s considered humanity’s enemy by Jiatiange’s standards, after all."

Tianyan took a deep breath and said quickly:

"Xu Yuan, first of all, we don’t know the situation deep in the abyss, nor do we know how advanced Bai Qinqing’s cultivation is now. An error in either of these factors could trap us in a dire situation again.

"And do you know what Bai Qinqing’s Dragon Soul talent is? Do you know what kind of spellcraft she excels in? Do you know if there will be any Dragon Clan powerhouses protecting her?

Recalling the experience of being tricked in the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, she became more and more agitated: "And do you think dueling is a child’s play? As the leaders of all demons, every member of the Dragon Clan is invincible within their rank, let alone those of the royal lineage. If we really fight, I might have to split my focus to protect your three red-faced Grandmaster Realm women..."

"No, when did I say I was going to act now?"

"...Tianyan."

Xu Yuan spoke deliberately:

"The Dragon Transformation Essence is indeed a coveted treasure. If that little dragoness managed to find this place, it must be because she can remotely sense the Qi mechanism of this thing. Once the reinforcements from the Prime Minister’s Mansion arrive, can’t we just use it as bait to lure and trap her for a kill?"

The decision to painfully let go of yet another paper-thin wife left Xu Yuan with a heavy heart.

But what could he do, being of kind nature, he couldn’t bear to see that brother-obsessed girl separated from her brother by life and death.

Since it was impossible to bring her little royal dragon back to life, he had no choice but to send her down.

After all, a family should be united as one.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan unconsciously shook his head.

It was somewhat difficult to bring her whole family together because he thought of the little dragon girl’s father.

In "Cangyuan," that was an ultimate boss that was terrifying to the extreme.

If one considers the father as an invincible boss by game mechanics, then that ancient dragon named Emperor Bai would be a pure numerical monster.

A touch inflicts a wound, a collision leaves one crippled.

By the way,

In "Cangyuan," the maternal uncle Feng Jiuxuan also made an appearance, but only in the early stages.

He descended in a way that brought players to despair, and in front of them, he chopped down some of the strongest characters.

Yet he never appeared as a boss, leaving players without the chance for revenge.

Now, thinking about it, that uncle must have left the Prime Minister’s Mansion right after his older brother’s death...

"Xu Yuan!"

"..."

Abruptly returning to his senses, Xu Yuan realized the girl in front of him was glaring at him, complaining slightly:

"I’m talking to you."

"Ah... I was just recalling some intelligence about the Ancient Abyss."

Xu Yuan gathered his thoughts and replied with a slight smile: "What did you say just now?"

Tianyan pursed her lips and said in a low voice:

"We need to leave quickly. I heard that kind of howling again just now."

Xu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat at her words.

The Dragon Clan’s sensing of the Dragon Transformation Essence can penetrate the Sumeru Ring.

His mouth twitched, and he tentatively asked:

"You... Don’t tell me that little dragoness is heading our way?"

Under Xu Yuan’s worried gaze, Tianyan gently shook her head, looking towards the depths of the gorge, but her voice was extremely solemn:

"Not that. It was fleeting in the cavern and went unnoticed, but this time it was much clearer. In addition to the dragon’s roar, I also sensed another terrifying surge of Qi."

"Another surge of Qi?"

"Saint."

"....."

Xu Yuan’s mind crashed briefly.

He felt like cursing.

What kind of cursed place is Qianji Gorge, scattered with Saints everywhere?!

If they had really intruded into those depths earlier, they would probably have gone straight into a boss battle and been casually crushed.

This reminder, however, made Xu Yuan think of Lady Wan’s intelligence.

Is that damn woman’s mind really messed up?!

He had been prepared to wind down this "Saint Level Ghost Willow" affair, yet she still refused to let him go.

Was she so blinded by greed that she feared not death?

Without any hesitation, Xu Yuan teleported back into the cavern with a Step Void Slash.

Burial Dragon Cavern remained serene, with three women sitting around the campfire, whispering something that seemed quite harmonious.

But at this moment, Xu Yuan was not in the mood to watch. He teleported to the front of the two ancient dragon flesh pools with another Step Void Slash, inserting the Willow Ghost Blade into each, along with the Black Silk Fungus Blanket he carried on his body.

In an instant,

The reddish-brown Black Death Mycelial Mat spread out, and countless willow vines grew from the Ghost Blade, rooting deeply into the flesh pools like tree roots.

After a moment of silence, the flesh in the pools began to boil, moving towards the two objects like a whirlpool.

The cavern echoed with a "glug, glug" swallowing sound.

Originally, Xu Yuan had planned to wait for reinforcements to arrive and then transport the dragon flesh and blood from these pools back to strengthen the physical constitution of the Black Scale Army elites, but it seems there was no more time for that now, and he had to waste it on charging the Willow Ghost Blade.

At this point,

Bai Muxi also saw the gloom on the young master’s face. She subconsciously stopped what she was doing, stood up, and tentatively asked:

"Young master, has something happened outside?"

Xu Yuan glanced at Bai Muxi and said in a low voice:

"Mu Xi, release your Black Death Mycelial Mat. Consume as much as you can."

Xiao Bai didn’t hesitate at all and immediately complied.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"We will leave this place in two quarters of an hour. There is an unidentified Saint in the depths of the Evil Spirit Abyss, so..."

Before he could finish,

Boom——

With a muffled roar, as if mountains collided, a sudden tremor abruptly rose from outside Burial Dragon Cave.

It seemed,

Something gigantic had slammed into the cliff top outside the cave.
