Chapter 322: The Golden Dragon Tail
Ku Yue glanced at the box and then shifted her gaze away. Huang Quan put the Yin King’s Order fragment safely into the storage space. Once the box was securely placed, Huang Quan looked at Ku Yue and extended a hand.
“Place your hand on mine,” Huang Quan said.
Ku Yue complied, placing her hand on Huang Quan’s. As soon as her hand made contact, she felt an extremely powerful force pulling her in. The next moment, a flash of light appeared, and before she could comprehend what was happening, she opened her eyes to find herself in a different place.
Compared to the outside night, the sky in this space was similar. The sky was gray and filled with deathly energy.
Yet, despite this, many flowers were blooming in this place. These flowers emitted a shimmering light, adding a bit of brightness to the dim space. Ku Yue became even more anxious upon seeing them.
Some of these flowers were familiar to her. They were useful to souls but extremely difficult to cultivate. Even in the Netherworld, it was impossible to grow them on a large scale. These flowers only grew in extremely dangerous places and were very rare.
In the wasteland where she battled fierce ghosts and practiced, she had been severely injured many times. The wasteland was heavy with deathly energy and was inherently dangerous. By a stroke of luck, she had once collected one of these rare flowers in the wasteland. It could heal the injuries of souls.
For the Netherworld, such rare flowers were hard to come by, but here, they were growing in abundance, each in full bloom!
What kind of person was Huang Quan to possess so many Netherworld treasures?
As Ku Yue observed the surroundings, a childish voice came from ahead, “What are you looking at?”
Ku Yue was startled and quickly looked toward the source of the voice. She hadn’t noticed anyone else in this place.
As she looked, the gray mist ahead parted, revealing the scene before her. There was a river in front of her, and beside the river sat a young boy. The boy had a human upper body but a beast-like lower body.
A golden dragon tail…
Ku Yue was once again astonished.
“Dragon, dragon clan!”
And it’s golden!
As everyone knows, dragons hold gold in high regard, and a golden dragon symbolizes the highest bloodline and power among dragons!
Even she, who had only heard of the dragon clan, had never seen one before. To encounter it here was truly unexpected!
The little face of the treasure frowned, and it said to her, “This is my domain. Your place is on the other side of the river. This river is the boundary; you are not allowed to cross without my permission.”
Before Ku Yue could respond, the treasure continued, “Also, you are not allowed to touch those flowers without the master’s permission!”
Don’t think he didn’t notice her coveting those flowers!
Facing the treasure, Ku Yue did not dare to be disrespectful and responded, “Understood.”
“Go over there.” The treasure instructed.
Ku Yue glanced at the flowers one last time before heading to the other side of the river.
Her attention had been on the treasure earlier, but as she approached the river, she realized that the water in the river was actually Huang Quan’s water!
Huang Quan’s water preserves corpses from decay!
It appeared that the water in this river was all Huang Quan’s!
Where did this come from?
As Ku Yue stared at the river, her mind was filled with questions.
While Ku Yue was focused on the river, the treasure’s dragon tail flicked twice, “Aren’t you going yet?”
Ku Yue’s eyes flashed, and she leapt to the other side.
The treasure watched Ku Yue land on the other side and said, “This river is my resting place. Do not approach without my permission!” After speaking, the treasure entered the river.
Chapter 323: The Future Crown Princess Is Still Inside!
Ku Yue watched as the treasure disappeared and her gaze fell back on those flowers.
It took her a long while to reluctantly pull her eyes away before she turned around and walked forward.
Soon, Ku Yue found a place to settle down.
After noticing that Ku Yue had found a place to stay, Huang Quan stopped paying attention to her.
Now that Ku Yue had entered the space, there was nothing else left to deal with here except for the burning flames.
With no one else around, Huang Quan directly used her spiritual power to extinguish the flames and then walked out.
Outside the Forest.
The Lord of Xiao Yun City stood behind the High Priest, looking at the forest with deep worry in his eyes. “High Priest, are you sure we shouldn’t go in and check?”
The future Crown Princess is still inside!
If something were to happen to the Crown Princess, would the Crown Prince let them off the hook?
There was no need to guess—the answer was definitely no.
The appearance of the man in the white robe had been so sudden, but his cultivation was extremely powerful. The High Priest immediately ordered Feng Jiuyuan to lead the others away. After leaving the forest, Xiao Yun City quickly gathered reinforcements, but when they arrived and tried to rush in, they found that the High Priest and the others had already come out.
When the High Priest came out, he was holding a young boy in his arms. Where did this boy come from?
The Lord of Xiao Yun City didn’t care much about the boy. After a quick glance, he intended to go back inside to rescue people, but the High Priest stopped him and wouldn’t allow him to enter!
If the Crown Prince questioned him later, would his punishment be lighter if he told the truth?
The Lord of Xiao Yun City paced back and forth, feeling extremely uneasy.
No matter what he said, the High Priest remained firm and wouldn’t give in.
Feng Jiuyuan glanced at the High Priest, then waved to Jing Chen, who was standing beside the High Priest.
Jing Chen saw him and walked over.
After the two reached a less crowded area, Feng Jiuyuan asked, “What happened after I left with the others?”
“Why is Nan Gong Mian here?”
Jing Chen, hearing the question, explained everything that had happened afterward.
After listening, Feng Jiuyuan was visibly shocked. “Huang Quan actually has spiritual power?”
“Wait!”
Feng Jiuyuan continued, “I think I might be focusing on the wrong thing.”
Jing Chen looked at him without saying a word.
The next moment, Feng Jiuyuan asked, “What exactly is going on with Huang Quan and Nangong Mian, these two siblings?”
It would be surprising enough if just one of them had spiritual power, but the other—who is supposedly just an eighth-level Spirit Master—managed to kill that man in the white robe. No matter how he thought about it, something didn’t add up.
Jing Chen replied, “I was planning to tell you about Huang Quan having spiritual power, but you arrived, and we had to come here immediately. I didn’t have a chance to mention it.”
“As for Nangong Mian…”
Jing Chen frowned slightly. “I have no idea what’s going on with him either.”
Feng Jiuyuan and Jing Chen exchanged glances but didn’t say anything further.
While the two of them were standing silently, a commotion erupted in front of them.
Feng Jiuyuan looked up and saw Huang Quan walking out of the forest.
“She’s out,” Feng Jiuyuan said.
Without a word, Jing Chen headed in that direction.
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyuan followed him.
When they reached her, the Lord of Xiao Yun City was carefully examining Huang Quan, and after confirming that she wasn’t injured, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Miss Huang, how are things inside?”
“Apart from the severe burning of the forest, there’s nothing else,” Huang Quan replied, glancing at the Lord of Xiao Yun City and then shifting her gaze to the others.
“You all saw the man in the white robe who appeared last, right?”
The Lord of Xiao Yun City nodded. “Yes, we saw him.”
“That man in the white robe was quite powerful. Fortunately, the High Priest instructed Young Master Feng to lead us away first; otherwise, we would have been hurt.”
