Chapter 1971 (Raw 2069): Chance Meeting
The six left the herb garden one after another. As they did so, Xiao Chen turned his head back to look at the Coiling Dragon Tree and the pill river.
He also glanced towards the gigantic medicine cauldron, a place under the herb garden that others could not see.
All of these held great temptation for Xiao Chen; he could not give up on them just like that.
While the others were not paying attention, Xiao Chen casually formed a hand seal.
Life Bestowal Spell!
Some mud in the herb garden gathered and turned into realistic lively birds. They became Xiao Chen’s eyes in this place.
If the Pill Demon was destroyed, then Xiao Chen would do his best to think of ways to collect the Coiling Dragon Tree and the gigantic medicine cauldron.
“Xiao Chen, why don’t we refine the Coiling Dragon Fruits right now? This will allow us to grow stronger quickly,” Situ Changfeng suggested. The others were also filled with anticipation, raring to try.
Xiao Chen checked the surroundings, then nodded. “You all go on and refine them. I’ll protect you all.”
The group took out the Coiling Dragon Fruits, which gave off bright lights as dragon-shaped Spiritual Energy revolved around them.
Lights of different colors representing different attributes flew around the group.
Murong Yan chose a red Coiling Dragon Fruit. That was a fire-attributed Coiling Dragon Fruit. If others consumed it, it would not only be useless but could even injure the body and mind.
When a person of the Red Dragon Race consumed a red Coiling Dragon Fruit, it would work to nourish both Soul Energy and Veritable Essence Energy, considerably improving them.
Furthermore, it would also improve one’s grasp of the Fire Dao, bringing plenty of comprehensions. Its wondrous uses were boundless.
Murong Yan held the Coiling Dragon Fruit and said with a smile, “In the Red Dragon Palace, only Elders can consume Coiling Dragon Fruits. Disciples have to complete grueling missions or have exceptional cultivation before they can receive one. My master said that he would give me one after I entered Ancestor Dragon City. Hahaha! However, I can refine one now! His jaw will probably drop when I return and tell him about it!”
After the others received the Coiling Dragon Fruits, they all showed joyful expressions.
Liu Ruyun, however, was an exception. She did not choose a fruit. Instead, she shook her head and said, “I do not need it. I refined a similar medicinal fruit three months ago. Refining it now would only be a waste.”
Xiao Chen shoved one Coiling Dragon Fruit into Liu Ruyun’s arms and said, “There is no need to fear wastage. As long as there are no detriments to it, it’s fine. This white Coiling Dragon Fruit is actually very suitable for you. Leaving it in my hands would be the true waste.”
Liu Ruyun smiled helplessly and accepted the fruit.
While the others were refining the Coiling Dragon Fruits, Xiao Chen cautiously stood guard. There were many damned corpses in this place, so they needed protection.
Damned corpses were extremely difficult to deal with. However, they were not a huge problem as long as one did not get surrounded.
Xiao Chen looked to the center of the city with some misgivings. What does that place have exactly?
The Spiritual Energy filling the entire city all come from there; likewise, the energy for the various restrictions and formations.
That place should be extremely dangerous, not a place for ordinary people.
One hour later, Murong Yan and the others woke up one after another. They radiated strong auras that were clearly stronger than what they had before.
“Let’s go.”
Setting off once again, Xiao Chen’s group moved significantly faster than before.
Along the way, they met with several cultivators who had managed to gain some things. However, these were nothing compared to Xiao Chen and the others’ harvest in the herb garden.
As the six approached the city center, they met with increasingly fewer cultivators.
The group could feel the atmosphere becoming distinctly heavier and more solemn.
The invisible pressure and might grew heavier the deeper they went, putting greater restraints on their strength.
“How scary! I feel like my strength has been suppressed by about ten percent,” Murong Yan said with a grave expression. As he looked towards the unknown city center, he felt some pressure.
“Right. Actually, this is good for us. The pressure that a Sovereign Personage will receive would be greater,” Situ Changfeng analyzed calmly.
Xiao Chen felt that his strength was suppressed by about twenty percent, much more severe than what Murong Yan and the rest had.
Situ Changfeng was right. The stronger one was, the more one would be suppressed in the city center.
However, Xiao Chen was also surprised to find that his physical body was not suppressed at all. Under such pressure, his Vital Qi became even denser instead.
This was a piece of comforting information.
“Wait. I hear fighting.” Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and tilted his head to listen.
Situ Changfeng closed his eyes and opened them again after a while. “It is coming from the west. I seem to hear some familiar voices. Right, got it. It’s Zhong Li and the Golden Dragon Palace’s Qin Aotian.”
Situ Changfeng was skilled in the Wind Dao. He could clearly make out the soft sounds in the wind.
This gave him an advantage that others did not have. The group trusted his judgment.
Murong Yan smiled and said, “Zhong Li actually joined up with Qin Aotian. Interesting. No wonder he had the confidence to fall out with us.”
Xiao Chen recalled that he had beaten up this Qin Aotian before. He asked, “Where is this Qin Aotian from?”
Finding this question strange, Murong Yan said, “Don’t you know? His first brother is known as the strongest expert of the Golden Dragon Palace. Many years ago, his first brother was already a late-stage Holy Venerate grasping two Great Dao and the Emperor Dragon’s mysteries. While he is known as the strongest expert of the Golden Dragon Palace, it is actually more accurate to say that he is the strongest expert of the outer palaces. Wei Hongfei should be clearer than me on this.”
Ignoring Murong Yan, Wei Hongfei said with a grave expression, “They probably met with that group of people that I previously met, the mortal enemies of the Dragon Race.”
Murong Yan’s expression changed slightly. “Should we go to help?”
“I’m afraid that we will have to no matter what.”
Situ Changfeng continued, “They are being chased and happen to be running in our direction.”
Indeed, right after Situ Changfeng spoke, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the front.
Soon, Zhong Li, Liu Yunfei, Qin Aotian, and others appeared before the six in somewhat sorry states. Aside from Qin Aotian being relatively fine, the others were all injured.
“Ah!”
A miserable cry rang out. A saber light struck one of the slower Dragon Race cultivators.
The black saber light turned into a malicious spirit that continuously fed on the other party’s physical body and soul.
The miserable shriek was incredibly sharp, making anyone who heard it tremble in fear and their legs go soft.
“What Saber Technique is this?” Murong Yan said with a quiver in his voice. This was too evil; he had not seen anything like this before.
“Previously, we did not see anyone with a saber,” the Green Dragon Palace’s Duan Fei said softly.
When Zhong Li and the others saw Xiao Chen, they felt greatly startled. Then, they said in joy, “Xiao Chen, Wei Hongfei, good timing. We met with Flood Dragon Humans. Help us block them.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Before the six reacted, the pursuers charged over. The pursuers wore masks over their lower faces, revealing only their eyes and forehead. There was also a bladesman wearing a conical bamboo hat.
When Wei Hongfei saw that the black-clad leader, his expression dramatically changed as he exclaimed hoarsely, “Yan Cangming!”
Although that person wore a mask, Wei Hongfei immediately recognized his eyes.
It was Yan Cangming, a Flood Dragon Human whom Xiao Chen and the others once fought in the Abyssal Underworld. Yan Cangming’s strength had made a strong impression on Wei Hongfei, who recalled it as though it just happened.
Yan Cangming had beaten Wei Hongwei helpless with just one hand.
“I was wondering who it was. Turns out, it is a group of people I’ve defeated already.”
Yan Cangming gave Wei Hongfei only a glance before shifting his gaze to Xiao Chen. He said seriously, “Excellent. Unexpectedly, you are here as well. Zhen Yuan, you should be delighted, right?!”
“Whoosh!”
That mysterious person plucked the conical bamboo hat from his head, then flung it at Xiao Chen. As the hat spun, it actually created the image of a black dragon.
The black dragon soon arrived before Xiao Chen. It reared its head back and roared ferociously, sending a berserk Dragon Might sweeping over.
Murong Yan and the others felt stunned. Under such intense pressure, they involuntarily took a step back.
“Bang!”
Xiao Chen calmly made his move. He punched and shattered that black dragon image along with the conical bamboo hat.
The countless shards flew all over the place.
“Xiao Chen, it has been a long time!”
Under the conical bamboo hat was a face that was extremely familiar to Xiao Chen. This person was the Profound Light Temple’s Zhen Yuan. However, he had grown his hair out, and his face appeared older.
When Xiao Chen saw that earlier strand of saber light, he had already suspected it was him. Unexpectedly, it was really him.
After absorbing the Black Dragon King’s strong demonic nature, Zhen Yuan actually did not sink into madness.
Moreover, Zhen Yuan was hanging out with Flood Dragon Humans, the people who once followed the Black Dragon King.
“Damn! These are Dragon Race cultivators with Divine Dragon bloodlines. Yan Cangming, I’ll leave them to you.”
Yan Cangming had an innate hatred for cultivators with Divine Dragon bloodlines. After seeing such cultivators, a murderous intent would surge up irresistibly in his heart.
In reality, all Flood Dragon Humans had an inextinguishable hatred for the Dragon Race.
Back then, their ancestors had been mixed-blood dragons that could not stand the suppression from the Divine Dragon bloodlines and followed the Black Dragon King to the Abyssal Underworld. Now, they were bottomfeeders in the Abyssal Underworld, in an even worse state than when they were in the Divine Dragon Empire.
Naturally, the Flood Dragon Humans blamed all these on the Divine Dragon bloodline cultivators; hence, they hated Divine Dragon bloodline cultivators with a vengeance.
I’ll block them. You all split up. Xiao Chen secretly sent Murong Yan and the others a voice projection. Then, he activated his Divine Dragon War Body, and his body immediately swelled up. His body gave off crackling sounds like thunder.
The Dragon Might coming from Xiao Chen strengthened severalfold. The more shocking thing was that his Dragon Might merged with his physical body, not leaking any of it out.
Xiao Chen blocked Yan Cangming, preventing him from continuing forward.
“Xiao Chen’s group, we will leave this to you. We’ll go ahead.” When Zhong Li and Qin Aotian saw the situation, they rejoiced and laughed loudly. Then, they promptly turned and left, not lingering.
