Chapter 641: Chapter 4 Soul Crystal [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

The Ancient Dragon Nest was a land of fragments, where in a past unknown war, the spirit veins of the earth were shattered and the spiritual energy dissipated severely. Practicing cultivation here was extremely difficult. This is probably the primary reason that the Dragon Race changed their dwelling place, and in the subsequent years, very few Evil Demons have appeared here.

However, after a long period of restoration, today’s Ancient Dragon Nest has recovered by a third. At least, the spiritual energy is not inferior to ordinary places in the outside world. Although it is still insufficient for cultivation, it is still a level where survival is possible.

Unexpectedly, an Evil Dragon returned here at this time.

According to the three people from the Gao Yue Country, in recent years, the Far West Land has shown unusual disturbances, and incidents involving evil demons have happened quite frequently among the countries of the Western Regions. Perhaps this Evil Dragon also came from the Far West Land.

So, Chu Liang was very cautious.

He told the three young people to quietly follow behind him. He transformed himself into the wind, slicing through the sky, and in an instant, he arrived at the place where the dragon’s chant echoed.

As he saw it, on a desolate and steep cliff, there hung a large tree branch. It was built into the semblance of a nest using vines and grass, the size of a palace.

A black Dragonkin was perched at the edge of the nest, spreading its wings. The Black-winged Dragon, with its crimson eyes and scale armor as dark as ink, was full of a menacing Demonic Aura. The stench of blood coming from the nest was intense, indicating it was of a sinister kind.

In the middle of the nest, a pile of white bones lay strewn, and beside it, there were indeed several unconscious women.

It seemed that the Evil Dragon who had abducted the girls was just ahead.

As Chu Liang approached, it seemed to sense a trace of something and suddenly stopped stretching its body. Instead, it focused its eyes and began to look around.

"Hmph——"

Seeing this, Chu Liang no longer hid, and transformed directly into a Five-colored Divine Dragon, soaring into the sky!

His Dragon Breath was extremely rich, and the first reaction of the Black-winged Dragon upon seeing him was to tremble, but soon the ferocity in its blood was triggered, and it bared its teeth at Chu Liang with a roar: "Roar——"

Chu Liang’s response was a flash of radiance atop his horns.

Boom, boom, boom——

Thunder and fire fell together, striking the Black-winging Dragon directly to the ground. It tumbled to the ground, letting out a painful howl.

Just one hit left one side of the Black Dragon’s twin wings scorched and the other side shattered. It could no longer fly.

It angrily raised its head and spit out a blood-colored streak towards Chu Liang, but hearing the wind howl, Chu Liang slightly twisted his body and escaped the hit. With the enhancement from the wind’s Dragon Breath, his speed far exceeded that of the Black-winged Dragon.

As he landed again, Chu Liang opened his mouth and spewed a turbulent ball of Divine Dragon Fire, Boom——

"Roar!" The Black-winged Dragon let out a wretched cry. Its scale armor was shattered and burned by the Divine Dragon Fire, making a crackling sound.

At this moment, it had no thought of fighting back and only hoped to escape with its life.

Enduring the severe pain and rolling around, it awkwardly turned around and attempted to crawl away. With a leap, it had already shot up dozens of feet.

After Chu Liang transformed into a dragon, the mark on his forehead turned into an elongated purple and gold scale.

At this moment that scale suddenly flashed, and then an incredibly thick Divine Thunder fell from the sky. This was the first time Chu Liang attempted to stimulate this Dragon God Token, and because he was unsure of its power, he used all his strength.

Crack——

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The series of violent explosions shook the mountains, causing the entire cliff to tremble.

And the Black-winged Dragon, whose entire body of scales had already been shattered by the Divine Dragon Fire, was directly pierced through its defense and body in the thundering downpour, as if caught in a thunder pool.

Just like a Heavenly heart hit by the Five Thunders, when the sky full of Divine Thunder disappeared, only countless falling scales were left, clanking as they hit the ground.

The huge Evil Dragon was bombed into dust by the Divine Thunder.

What powerful thunder.

Even Chu Liang himself was amazed by the power of the Dragon God Token, though the cost was that this blow almost drained all his strength. But this combined attack of thunder and fire was so lethal that it was terrifying.

"Sir!"

After the smoke and dust faded, the three young people also arrived at the battlefield. They had heard a tremendous noise from the front just now and were quite worried, so they disregarded stealth and rushed over at once.

But upon arriving, they only saw Chu Liang standing in the same place.

The three people surrounded Chu Liang, their faces anxious as they kept a vigilant watch around and asked, "Where is the Evil Dragon?"

Chu Liang answered lightly, "Everywhere."

...

After explaining to the three that we were not surrounded, the young people also jumped up to the nest in mid-air and shouted the name of their princess loudly.

Chu Liang arrived later, only to see the disappointed faces of the three.

The scent of blood was overpoweringly heavy in the dragon nest, with piles of white bones everywhere. Many innocent lives had been tragically lost. The few remaining girls were trembling in fear, their minds evidently not very clear. It seemed they had been badly frightened.

Qi Linmu shook his head, saying, "Our princess is not among them."

Qi Lingyue also furrowed her brows, looking at the pile of bones, she remarked, "Could it be that..."

"Impossible!" Qi Lingshan emphatically exclaimed, "Our princess is blessed by heaven, she wouldn’t die in the jaws of the evil dragon."

"Indeed, she wouldn’t." Chu Liang concurred, "As you stated, the princess has only been missing for a couple of days. However, these corpses and bones, judging by their state, have been here for several months. It’s possible that she was not captured by this evil dragon at all."

"Senior is right, we must not lose hope. When we go back, we will investigate further. We will surely find the princess." Qi Linmu added.

He then turned to Chu Liang, "We owe you a great debt this time, Senior. Why don’t you accompany us back to Qi Feng Temple, and allow us to show you some hospitality?"

Chu Liang was initially inclined to refuse.

It had been such a long time since he had left. His heart longed to return to Shu Mountain as soon as possible.

However, he remembered that before he disappeared, he had personally killed the thirteenth prince of the Yu Dynasty. He wasn’t quite sure how that matter was being handled, and if the blame was placed onto him, he could run into trouble if he decided to return abruptly.

It would be better to gather more information before revealing himself.

Moreover, Gao Yue Country was an important place. The competition between Red Cotton Peak and Taotie City for the Cyan Moon Grass of this area was intense. By building good relations here, he might just be able to help Shu Mountain.

Of course, there was an even more critical reason— he had seen a message on the soul crystal inside his magical storage tool.

As a result, Chu Liang gave a slight nod, "I suppose I could."

Qi Linmu raised his hand and released a small flying boat into the air. It looked quite delicate and was large enough to hold four to five people.

He turned back and indicated with his hand, "After you, Senior."

Qi Lingshan suggested, "You go on ahead with the senior and these young ladies on the flying boat. Qi Lingyue and I will fly back ourselves."

Then, he added with a hint of jealousy, "I wish I had a flying boat of my own."

Qi Lingyue jokingly said, "Who asked you not to be the champion of our grand competition? If you had won, this flying boat would be yours."

Chu Liang chuckled, "Why not take mine? It’s slightly larger, enough for all of us to sit."

And with that, he raised his hand and conjured the "Liang Longhao" flying boat.

With a booming sound, a colossal object appeared in the air. It was significantly larger than the nest in front of them. Although the colorful design was somewhat garish, it was evident from the materials and workmanship that this was top-tier.

Qi Linmu’s small flying boat suddenly paled in comparison to Chu Liang’s boat.

You call this ’slightly larger’?

Even in the grand scheme of Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Chu Liang’s wealth was considered top-tier, let alone when compared to the young people from this small Western Country. The three were rendered speechless, their respect for Chu Liang increasing tremendously.

They had not seen how Chu Liang had exterminated the evil dragon, so they had no idea how powerful he truly was. However, they were vaguely aware of the astronomic worth of such a flying boat.

Qi Lingshan marveled, "Who would have thought that beneath your ragged appearance lies such formidable power."

"Ahem." Chu Liang laughed awkwardly, "That’s what they call beggar’s attire, you wouldn’t understand."

Qi Lingyue also got onto the flying boat, chuckling, "Indeed, Senior. You really are amazing. With your beggar’s attire, you look just like a real beggar."

After boarding the flying boat, their astonishment amplified.

Not only was the exterior composed of top-tier materials, but the array runes and magic artifact used inside were also of the highest quality. Despite their lifelong travels in the Western Regions, they may never encounter such a luxurious flying boat.

"Guide me in the right direction," Chu Liang said with a slight smile as the Liang Longhao roared into life.

While maneuvering the flying boat, he split his divine sense elsewhere.

Earlier, he had noticed that a lot of messages had piled up inside the soul crystal. They were all sent by Jiang Yuebai over the years. It seemed that she sent a message every time she visited a new place. Although she never received a response, she never stopped sending them.

"I’m leaving Shu Mountain... where are you? When will you return?"

"I’m going to travel the Southern Region with my father..."

"We’re going to Wood Branch City..."

"..."

Messages from the past six years were stacked together, simultaneously flooding into Chu Liang’s heart.

And the most recent message was...

"We’re going to the Western Regions."
