Chapter 408: Chapter 88: Set Sail [Request for Monthly Tickets!]_1

Inside Python Belly City, the billowing smoke finally settled.

Everyone gathered in a circle, discussing the next steps, but it was inevitable that their minds were somewhere else.

Because behind Chu Liang sat the terrifying fire dragon, quietly sprawling on the ground. Its pair of blazing golden eyes watched them. Although it was no longer ferocious, it still sent chills down their spines.

Some fires only get colder the more they burn.

"Everyone, don’t be afraid...." Chu Liang forced a smile. He too was scared, but he comforted, "We need it to get out."

The Dragon Soul of Ba Xia within the Fire Dragon was like an innocent newborn, pure without having ever seen the outside world. If the City Lord of Python Belly City instilled it with bloodlust and slaughter, it would become a violent beast.

But as Chu Liang attempted to pacify it, it settled and grew calm.

To put it simply, its intelligence was still not high.

Due to being imprisoned for a long time, it was overwhelmed with anger, and desired to ruin everything around it, just like an enraged child.

Only what made it horrifying was, it truly had the ability to destroy everything.

Luckily, Chu Liang used the scent of the Black Dragon Ball to temporarily stabilize it. However, it was only temporary, and no one knew when it would manifest a negative emotion again.

Perhaps one moment it might wag its tail or spit out a small fireball to show affection - it was all possible.

"Can we really rely on it?" Lin Bei leaned in and whispered, "Isn’t Guild Master Xu also a cultivator of the Seventh Realm?"

Before he even finished speaking, a painful hiss came from the side.

"Ah——" Xu Baishan yanked out a blood-streaked silver scale from his body.

This was the third one.

The silver-scale seal of the Python Belly City Lord caused him unbearable pain, each scale harder to remove than the last.

"It seems we cannot count on him..." Lin Bei murmured.

Hearing this, Xu Baishan’s eyes snapped open, "Give me some time, and I will be able to remove all these silver scales, restore my cultivation at its peak, and then breaking out of this Secret Realm will be easy."

"Estimating the time, Jiang Shenting’s inauguration ceremony should be about to start." Chu Liang’s gaze lingered in the distance.

"Let’s mount the dragon." Xu Baishan abruptly shot up to his feet, "I think the Fire Dragon is fairly docile."

"In light of our current predicament, the people of the Blaze Guild shall stay here. If Guild Master Xu and I manage to escape the Secret Realm, we will control the Swallowing Python and rescue everyone in Python Belly City." said Chu Liang.

It was unrealistic to hope that the entire populace of Python Belly City could ride the Fire Dragon out. The Fire Dragon couldn’t carry people back and forth in multiple trips, and there was a significant uncertainty whether it was willing to help them leave. As such, Chu Liang initially planned to depart with just Lin Bei and Xu Baishan.

Whether the objective was to immediately control the Swallowing Python, or to enlist the help of the experts from Shu Mountain and Four Seas Whale Guild, the decision to depart remained unchanged.

And as for the people in Python Belly City, they would have to wait a bit longer.

At the moment, the Guild Master of the Blaze Guild, Hua Zhengshan, was still unconscious due to the injuries incurred from the collapse and fire of the buildings while being sealed. The members of the Blaze Guild agreed to the plan, intending to stay and tend to him.

They had already been here for so many years, they were in no hurry to leave.

Ji Lingfeng was eager to leave first, but considering the potential dangers that could arise from the Fire Dragon smashing into the Secret Realm, he decided to wait a little longer.

After all, they were all in a rush to get home, why should he be the one to hurry?

After their decision was made, Chu Liang, Lin Bei, and Xu Baishan mounted the Fire Dragon.

Initially, Chu Liang was scared but seeing the Fire Dragon obediently carry them, he was reassured.

Immediately after, Chu Liang bent down towards its head and commanded, "Take off!"

Boom——

In a blink of an eye, the Divine Dragon Flame erupted, and the Fire Dragon ascended.

"Ah... Tell it to put out its fire, it’s hot, hot, hot..."

Amidst Lin Bei’s screams, the Fire Dragon violently soared towards the dim halo in the sky!

Whoosh——

In an instant, they crashed into the halo. The next second, behind the obstructing halo, faint flashes of the formation could be seen.

"Break it! Let’s get out!" Chu Liang roared.

"Roar——"

The Fire Dragon let out a long groan, and rammed its head ferociously into the door!

Bang!

Intense flames burst from the gap.

...

The heavy doors of the hall were forced open, revealing a large interior with numerous desks arranged on both sides. This was the Thunder Rain Hall of the Whale Guild!

At this moment, the spectators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were all inside the hall, each with their designated seating.

Outside the hall was a broad stone staircase, beneath which was an incredibly spacious square, where various heroes of all sorts from Jianghu had a place.

Today was the Guild Master’s inauguration ceremony for the Whale Guild, and anyone with ties to the Guild naturally had to come to congratulate. There were tens of thousands of people in and out of the venue.

Jiang Shenting slowly ascended the stone steps, standing at the front of the stairs, his back to the Thunder Rain Hall, and his face to the vast sky. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!"

He shouted clearly, his voice carried by the wind to every corner of the square.

"I am taking on this role due to the disappearance of Guild Leader Xu and the need for leadership within the Whale Guild. I am also here because of the trust and love of my fellow Guild mates. Today, I promise you all that I, Jiang, will lead the Whale Guild forward, fulfilling the expectations of every one of my brothers..."

There was indeed some truth in his words, for he would not have competed for the position of the Guild Leader were it not for his ambitions.

In recent years, the development achievements of the East Whale Guild under Jiang Shenting were recognized by all, while the remaining three divisions of the Whale Guild were still sticking to their old ways, falling further and further behind.

Therefore, supporters of Jiang Shenting included not only the East Whale Guild, but also the younger generations from the other three divisions. Without the support of these reformists, it would not have been his turn to take charge, even with Xu Baishan’s absence.

Taking the stage, Jiang Shenting naturally wanted to elevate the Whale Guild to greater heights. He considered the methods he had employed as necessary means to eliminate obstacles in his pursuit of achievement.

If he loses this time, he would have to wait at least another ten years. What would the situation be like then? Who knows?

Time waits for no one.

Starting from today, all his ambitions would be set into motion!

Jiang Shenting expressed some practical ideas, and his frank speech gained the approval of many in Thunder Rain Hall.

After all, the Whale Guild was a major influence that affected hundreds of thousands of people. As long as he could truly pursue their interests, most people didn’t really care how Xu Baishan had disappeared.

Once his speech ended, an Elder of the Whale Guild shouted, "Present the sail!"

The symbol of the Whale Guild Master was a large sail, tattered and stained with golden blood. It marked the trials and tribulations faced by the first Guild Master in his numerous sea voyages.

The sail was erected on a wooden pole, much like a large flag.

Once Jiang Shenting hoisted the sail, he would have symbolically set sail as the Whale Guild Master. From that moment on, his name would echo throughout the Four Seas!

Each Guild Master would return the sail to the Thunder Rain Hall after hoisting it. That’s why it wasn’t lost along with Xu Baishan.

Jiang Shenting grasped the pole of the sail and gently spread it out.

Whoosh——

Suddenly, a whirlwind rose from the ground!

A ripple appeared beneath his feet, and cyclonic winds, like a surge of giant waves, enveloped his figure in an instant!

What’s going on?

Jiang Shenting was startled. He quickly noticed a faint spirituality on the sail, seeming to be some sort of trigger.

He immediately realized it was a formation! The formation had lain dormant, but the moment he operated the sail, it would be activated.

Soon after, a clear shout came from behind him.

"Jiang Shenting, I am going to kill you today and avenge my father!"
