Chapter 495: Chapter 492: Evil Dragon Temple

At the moment when Ye Xuan was dragged into the lake water by the monster, everyone’s faces turned deathly pale; the Corrosive Bone Poison Miasma was no joke, and Ye Xuan, having been swept into it, would be in grave danger if he couldn’t break free.

However, in the next moment as their expressions changed in shock, the black lake water once again stirred up astonishing waves, and a silhouette burst forth from amidst the spray, stopping midair.

Accompanied by several severed tentacles that were evidently slashed apart, Ye Xuan had now completely transformed into a dragon. Although his aura was somewhat disordered, he hadn’t been seriously wounded.

"Junior Brother Ye, are you alright?"

Seeing Ye Xuan breaking out of the water, everyone relaxed, realizing they had been overly worried.

"I’m fine. That beast is injured at a vital spot and has already fled to the bottom of the lake," Ye Xuan shook his head, explaining how the monster had desperately tried to drag him down, but after he stabbed it in a vital spot, its demonic power had significantly decreased, allowing him to break free.

"It’s good that you’re fine. Since there’s no problem, we should leave quickly; this place is not safe to stay in for long," Xue Lingzi nodded in agreement.

"Wait a moment."

Ye Xuan shook his head and then turned his gaze to the lake surface, "When I was under the water just now, it seemed like I saw the outline of an ancient building at the bottom of the lake. Perhaps, that’s where the Evil Dragon Temple is situated."

"What? Really?"

Xue Lingzi and Fei Yue immediately became animated, somewhat exhilarated. The Evil Dragon Temple was the core of this Evil Dragon den; wasn’t that why they had come here?

"It’s just a guess. Whether it’s true or not, we’ll have to dive to the bottom of the lake to know," Ye Xuan couldn’t be entirely certain, after all, the lake water was black and filled with Corrosive Bone Poison Miasma; even he dared not linger for long.

"Dive to the bottom of the lake? This lake water is extremely poisonous; it’s not a trivial matter. We probably can’t last a minute in it, how could we possibly dive down?"

Upon hearing this, the excitement on Fei Yue and the others’ faces quickly cooled down. The Corrosive Bone Poison Miasma was no laughing matter; once you went in, coming out could be difficult, and even with their high cultivation, they wouldn’t last long in the poisonous water of the Martial Venerate Realm.

"Indeed."

Ye Xuan nodded, and then he looked around, sizing up the surroundings before saying, "The Evil Dragon Temple is a crucial place for the Evil Dragon Clan, hidden beneath this lake. Even though the poison acts as a guard, there must certainly be some way to get down there. There must be Prohibitions around here."

"Is that so? Then let’s hurry and search."

The group immediately nodded their agreement, trusting Ye Xuan because he had nearly always been right and helped them greatly on numerous occasions.

Their search began, with each person assigned by Ye Xuan to a specific area, looking for traces of the Prohibition.

"Found it."

In just a few minutes, Xue Lingzi discovered some clues on the area of a wall, uncovering several suspicious ancient inscriptions.

"This is the inscription of the Evil Dragon Clan."

Ye Xuan scrutinized the inscriptions on the wall and his eyes slightly brightened, confirming that indeed, these were the Array inscriptions of the Evil Dragon Clan.

Hearing this, Xue Lingzi and the others were revitalized. Since they had never seen the inscriptions of the Evil Dragon Clan, even if they had, with so many inscriptions, it wasn’t likely that they would recognize them immediately. They didn’t expect that Ye Xuan would know the inscriptions of the Evil Dragon Clan.

Smack!

Concentrating True Yuan in his palm, Ye Xuan viciously struck another wall, causing it to crack open. Piece by piece, the stone broke apart, revealing the inscriptions hidden within.

These numerous inscriptions interconnected, forming a sinister dragon-shaped array.

Ye Xuan merely stared at the array for a moment before beginning to form Hand Seals, intent on breaking the array’s Prohibition.

As Ye Xuan’s hands formed a yin-yang fish-shaped seal, streams of True Yuan quickly converged, pouring into the array of inscriptions before him. Gradually, the inscriptions lit up with a bizarre layer of gray luminescence, which spread rapidly across the wall, soon enveloping the entire structure.

Boom!

After the inscriptions were activated, the wall violently shook. With such violent turbulence, the water in the lake below surprisingly parted, revealing a massive vortex. The vortex spun faster, and the center of the lake rapidly sank downwards.

Before long, as the lake water continued swirling away, a sinister black temple emerged into view.

The outline of the temple resembled a coiled Black Dragon, with an aura so fierce, it was as if a living Evil Dragon dwelled within.

"It actually is the Evil Dragon Temple," Fei Yue murmured to herself.

"This pressure must be pure Dragon coercion! It’s far more terrifying than that creature’s just now; even my True Yuan flow is restricted." Leng Wusheng strained to circulate his True Yuan, countering the pressure exuded by the Evil Dragon Temple.

"The Evil Dragon Temple is a sacred site of the Evil Dragon Clan, had they still existed, we would have had no chance of reaching this place."

"Look at the front of the temple, those black Crystal Stones... could they be the infamous Evil Dragon Crystals from the outside world?"

Ouyang Tie suddenly spotted several black Crystal Stones near the temple. These fist-sized stones emitted faint, malevolent fluctuations. These fluctuations were extremely pure, containing a hint of demonic power that was difficult to absorb, and those without steadfast willpower would certainly be unable to resist the force of the Evil Dragon Crystals.

"The effectiveness of the Evil Dragon Crystals is not inferior to the Dragon Saliva Fruit; we have struck it lucky this time. We haven’t even entered the Evil Dragon Temple and yet have already gained such a harvest."

Leng Wusheng’s breathing became somewhat rapid.

"Indeed, with so many Evil Dragon Crystals, each of us can get at least three pieces."

Fei Yue’s spirits lifted, as her disappointment at not obtaining the Dragon Saliva Fruit in the valley earlier was swept away upon seeing so many Evil Dragon Crystals.

"Haha, who would have thought the Evil Dragon Temple really existed here, along with so many Evil Dragon Crystals. All the losses from this journey can now be compensated."

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and figures dropped down one after another, revealing the group from the Gentleman Sect, with none other than Chu Kuang laughing heartily.

The rest, including Lord Wind, gazed at the Evil Dragon Temple with burning desire in their eyes.

"Damn it, how could these guys appear here?"

Leng Wusheng’s face turned unsightly as he clenched his fists. It was just their luck that right after they broke the prohibition and discovered the Evil Dragon Temple, they had been found by the people of the Gentleman Sect, just his damn luck.

"Indeed, misfortune seldom comes alone."

On the Gentleman Sect’s side, Chu Kuang also caught sight of Ye Xuan and his companions, and immediately flashed a grin, although the smile seemed a bit grim.
