Chapter 792 - 327: Where’s the Jiao? Where Did the Jiao Go?

Seeing the azure, phantom-like little flood dragon, Chu Ning’s eyes immediately lit up.

This was exactly what he wanted!

Already prepared, he transformed into a phantom in mid-air, appearing beside the little flood dragon in the next moment.

Magical Power condensed, and his palm shimmered with light as he grasped down.

The azure little flood dragon had fallen into Chu Ning’s hands.

"The complete Essence Soul of a Tier Eight Demon Beast!"

Chu Ning looked at the little flood dragon in his hand, his eyes flashing with joy.

This was equivalent to the Nascent Soul of a human cultivator, a complete Demon Beast Essence Soul!

"Release me!"

The little flood dragon struggled in Chu Ning’s hand, still managing to speak human words.

However, Chu Ning paid no mind, gripping the little flood dragon tightly and swiftly descending from the air to the massive corpse below.

Holding the Black Blade Ancient Treasure, Chu Ning directly took a scale from the flood dragon’s head.

This scale was right under the purple Snake Crown, intermingling green and purple hues, about the size of two palms.

After taking the scale, Chu Ning held it in his hand.

Immediately, Magical Power surged, forming a glowing sphere that enveloped the scale and the little flood dragon together.

Then he suspended the glowing sphere in front of his chest, continuously casting spells into it.

The azure little flood dragon struggled violently again, yet was gradually forced into the scale.

Until the entire little flood dragon was hidden within the scale, disappearing from sight.

Only then did a trace of a smile appear on Chu Ning’s face.

He took out a Jade Box to store it and casually affixed a seal on it.

Then tossed it into his Storage Bag.

Simultaneously, with a wave of his hand, Chu Ning collected the entire flood dragon’s body into his Storage Bag as well.

The Tier Eight Purple Crowned Jade Water Flood Dragon had many valuable materials on it, but Chu Ning had no time to process them now.

After all, the recent skirmish had made quite a commotion, and he worried it might attract other cultivators or demon beasts.

Chu Ning took out a drop of Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid and consumed it, rapidly recovering his Magical Power.

At the same time, Chu Ning completely spread out his Divine Sense, finding no other disturbances within a three hundred-mile radius.

However, he did notice some Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fruit on the island.

Without delay, Chu Ning dashed across the island, collecting every Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fruit into his bag.

"Huh?"

Just as Chu Ning was finishing collecting his items, his Divine Sense suddenly detected the presence of cultivators.

He didn’t recognize most of them, but he did recognize the Purple Cloud Nightingale.

"Why is the Young Sect Leader from the Illusion Spirit Sect here? Could it be the Illusion Spirit Sect sensed the commotion from the battle?"

This thought flashed through Chu Ning’s mind, and he immediately soared skyward, continuing his flying escape toward another area of the Central Sea.

No matter the reason for their arrival, Chu Ning had no interest in confronting them.

He had already experienced this person’s ways.

If they met, it might result in a troublesome entanglement.

Not to mention their numbers, this area still fell within the jurisdiction of the Illusion Spirit Sect.

Not long after Chu Ning’s silhouette vanished.

The Purple Cloud Nightingale carried Tantai Song and five other Golden Core Cultivators, flying twenty miles away.

At this moment, Zhan Taishong was already standing on the back of the Purple Cloud Nightingale, gazing at the visible island ahead before taking to the air.

"The two of you, stay here with the Purple Cloud Nightingale, don’t get too close."

Having said that, he led the five Golden Core Cultivators towards the island.

Upon reaching a ten-mile distance, Tantai Song’s face showed a puzzled expression.

"Senior Brother Liu, have you sensed the presence of the flood dragon demon?"

The old man beside him shook his head in confusion.

"No, I’ve heard this flood dragon behaves extremely arrogantly, never masking its aura.

We should have sensed the demonic aura long before now, given our proximity.

Moreover, my Divine Sense did not detect any demon beasts on this island either."

"Let’s hurry and see what’s going on."

Tantai Song, upon hearing the elder’s identical sensing as his own, felt full of doubt and immediately urged others to speed up their flying escape.

Upon reaching the sky above the island, they could naturally sense everything happening on it.

"Where’s the flood dragon?"

Tantai Song’s face turned unpleasant as he peered down at the island.

"Look there!"

At this moment, the old man with the surname Liu pointed to one side of the island, and looking in that direction, the group’s expressions turned to astonishment.

"There was a cultivator engaged in Magical Combat with the Tier Eight Giant Flood Dragon here before!"

The old man with the surname Liu glanced at the mess near the island’s coast, immediately understanding what transpired.

Then he shook his head and said:

"Young Sect Leader, I hadn’t expected anyone nearby to be interested in this Tier Eight Demon Beast.

Now we don’t know if the flood dragon was killed or fled back to the Outer Sea in alarm.

This time, we might return empty-handed."

Tantai Song’s face turned grim.

"Weren’t all the Nascent Soul Cultivators in seclusion recently? Who was bored enough to come here?"

He had come with much fanfare to slay the flood dragon, only to find no trace of it.

Key to him was that the flood dragon had significant utility, leaving Tantai Song quite aggrieved.

The Golden Core Cultivators from the Illusion Spirit Sect exchanged glances, all wearing expressions of confusion.

To their knowledge, only a Nascent Soul Cultivator would dare to target a Tier Eight Great Demon.

After all, not all Golden Core Cultivators possessed their level of skill, nor had the advantage of being in the same sect, allowing them to learn some Combined Attack Techniques.
