Become a fairy alone

"The dragon clan's chaos has caused the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine to be corrupted by resentment, shaking the very foundations of the Immortal Realm. We now widely summon righteous warriors from all over the world..."

"The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine is damaged?" The cloaked man was also taken aback. The conscription order didn't reveal much information, but it matched what he had learned from previous inquiries.

The news of the Dragon Domain War is spreading like wildfire, and the information is relatively consistent. After all, the number of immortal troops attacking the Dragon Domain was large, and a large portion of them were lost, but the main force has withdrawn.

Even the Four Heavenly Emperors couldn't silence the gossip; another attack on the Dragon Realm was inevitable. The Heavenly Court didn't try to suppress news of the battle's outcome; too many people knew, and it was impossible to keep it a secret.

However, there were no other witnesses to the great battle between the Four Heavenly Emperors and the Dragon Lord. The huge commotion caused by the teleportation of several Heavenly Emperors and that continent caused a great uproar.

The four Heavenly Emperors have not yet announced the results of their battle with the Dragon Lord. However, there is no shortage of well-informed people in this world. Powerful figures from other realms are also very interested in this matter and have sent people to inquire about the news. The various forces in the Immortal Realm itself also have many speculations.

Based on limited information, each side has deduced many seemingly plausible but ultimately flawed results, leading to various versions of rumors.

Based on the information he had gathered, the cloaked man had a general idea of ​​what he was going to do.

"It seems I need to go back. If I really want to work for the Dragon Slayer, it will be much easier through the Dragon Seeking Division. I'll find out the specifics after I get there."

Xing Rong's eyes flickered as he looked at the notice. The notice required extremely high cultivation levels for those being recruited, at least at the Golden Immortal level, and those who had cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Body would be even better.

The rewards offered were indeed substantial. Xing Rong had worked in the Dragon Seeking Division for many years and naturally knew that these rewards were somewhat beyond the norm.

The notice revealed limited information, but based on his past experience, Xing Rong could vaguely guess that the matter was far more complicated than the notice stated, which was consistent with the Heavenly Court's usual practice.

After Chen Fufeng's death, the Dragon Seeking Division underwent significant changes, with a large number of its personnel being conscripted to the Dragon Domain, resulting in countless deaths.

So many years have passed, and many things have changed. I heard that even the headquarters of the Dragon Seeking Division is no longer in the same place, but there has always been a station here in Yuanfeng Immortal City.

Recently, many dragon beasts have been appearing in the Yuanfeng Immortal City area, and even a few dragons have been vaguely seen. The Dragon Seeking Division must still have a post here.

Speaking of which, Xing Rong had been here before, but he didn't know if the location of the Dragon Seeking Division's outpost had changed over the years.

Having a clear purpose, Xing Rong traveled quickly through the Immortal City, and after half an hour, he arrived at a place of rolling green hills in the east of the city.

Seeing the vast expanse of green mountains so similar to the slumbering place of the evil dragon, Demon Tuo, an unprecedented killing intent flashed in Xing Rong's eyes. For a moment, he wanted to destroy this place, but then all his years of seclusion would have been wasted. Destroying a mere mountain range would be far from enough to quell the hatred in his heart.

"Halt!" Just as Xing Rong was about to move forward, a surge of blue light appeared in the empty valley ahead, and then several armed immortal guards blocked his way.

“I am also from the Dragon Seeking Division. Take me to see your Domain Envoy.” Xing Rong showed his identity token, and then an aura emanated from his body.

"Greetings, Senior." The celestial guards, sensing the aura that terrified them, all changed their expressions. The leader, mustering his courage, said...
"How come this identity token is so different from your cultivation level?"

"The world has undergone a great change, and I was unexpectedly drawn into the battlefield between immortals and demons. I had some opportunities along the way, and it was only recently that I was able to return to the immortal realm by chance. There are many powerful people in Yuanfeng Immortal City. Do you still worry that I would dare to come here alone to cause trouble?" Xing Rong explained calmly.

"I see. In recent years, the situation has been turbulent, and demons who are good at changing their appearance often infiltrate the Immortal City in various ways, causing considerable casualties. We juniors have to be cautious, and we ask for your understanding, senior." The leading man smiled apologetically.

"Can you take me to see your domain envoy now?" Xing Rong was too lazy to argue with the other party.

"Yes, please go ahead, senior!"

Xing Rong followed the immortal guards into the mountain's restricted area, and soon met the local envoy, Hu Zhengfeng.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Xing. May I ask what brings you here?" Hu Zhengfeng asked with a smile.

Xing Rong's aura was extremely powerful, even surpassing his own by a significant margin. Although the Immortal Realm's population had dwindled considerably after the battles between the Immortals and Demons and the invasion of the Dragon Domain, many powerful figures had risen to prominence.

Hu Zhengfeng also reached the Yuan Shen Body realm ten years ago, but he felt that he was still some distance away from Xing Rong.

Given the other party's cultivation level, Hu Zhengfeng estimated that even within the entire Dragon Seeking Division, there wouldn't be many who could surpass him. With such formidable strength and no issues with identity verification, he naturally deserved to be treated with courtesy.

"Due to circumstances, I have been away from the Immortal Realm for several years. I recently returned and heard a lot of things. Today I saw a notice posted that it seems there were some problems with the Dragon Slayer's Executioner because of the killing of the Dragon Lord."

"The Heavenly Court has summoned righteous men from all over the world to the Desolate Sea to guard the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. I, Xing, have a long-standing grudge against the Dragon Clan and wish to go to the Desolate Sea to serve the Heavenly Court. However, since I have been away for quite some time, I am unaware of the current situation," Xing Rong asked.

"I see. Going to the Desolate Sea is a tough job, especially going to the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. After the great battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Dragon Lord, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine was also severely damaged and infiltrated by resentment. It is said to be the Heavenly Dragon Curse from the Dragon Lord. This resentment is no small matter. Brother Xing, are you sure you want to go and protect the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine?"

Hu Zhengfeng's eyes flashed. There were several options for guarding the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. Some were recruited from outside, but the main ones were drawn from within the Dragon-Seeking Division.

Hu Zhengfeng also has certain quotas to meet, and he's been troubled by this matter lately. Xing Rongxiu is highly sought after, and if he could recommend Xing Rong, it would undoubtedly be exceeding his quota. This would be a huge benefit for Hu Zhengfeng.

However, guarding the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine is extremely risky, as it requires spending too much time there. Those responsible for guarding it are also highly susceptible to being corrupted by resentment. At best, their cultivation will regress, and their realm will drop. At worst, the resentment will corrupt their minds, causing them to suffer a qi deviation.

According to the information Hu Zhengfeng obtained, only one or two out of ten people were able to be rotated out of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine intact; the rest were either dead or injured.

If Xing Rong could give him a recommendation, Hu Zhengfeng would naturally be more than happy to do so. However, he needed to clarify things beforehand, otherwise, if Xing Rong complained later, a good thing would turn into a bad thing. Hu Zhengfeng didn't want to offend someone as powerful as Xing Rong.

"It's alright. I have no relatives or friends now, nothing to cling to. Whether it's a tough job or not makes no difference to me, as long as I can serve the Heavenly Court and cause trouble for the Dragon Clan, that's fine," Xing Rong said calmly. "Alright, since Fellow Daoist Xing has said so, I, Hu, must help you with this favor," Hu Zhengfeng said, secretly pleased, his tone firm and resolute. Then, after a moment's hesitation, he asked again.

"There is no problem with Fellow Daoist Xing's identity, but it would be best to explain his detailed whereabouts over the years, so that Hu can have an explanation when recommending Fellow Daoist Xing to his superiors."

"I was ensnared by demons and wandered through the demon realm and the battlefields of immortals and demons. I experienced many hardships along the way and also killed a dragon beast and several dragons of varying strengths."

Rong recounted some of his experiences, a mix of truth and fiction, and then took out several fragments of dragon remains with varying degrees of strength from his spatial ring.

The strongest white dragon's remains had clearly reached the level of a Primal God Dragon Body. These dragons weren't killed by Xing Rong, but rather he encountered them along the way and was surrounded and killed by other demons. Xing Rong collected their corpses, and while he was originally wondering what to do with them, he'd now put them to good use.

"Good, these dragon corpses are enough to prove anything," Hu Zhengfeng clapped and laughed. For others, the verification process would naturally be stricter. However, Xing Rong himself came from the Dragon Seeking Division, making him one of their own, and with such high cultivation, he was perfectly capable of joining the upper echelons of the Dragon Seeking Division. Naturally, he had many advantages and didn't need to go through the usual troubles.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Hu." Xing Rong's expression remained calm, showing no sign of joy. He removed his cloak to verify his identity, revealing an exceptionally ugly face. A smile often makes an ugly face appear even more sinister.

“Fellow Daoist Xing, please stay here for a few days. I, Hu, will first report this matter to higher authorities. After receiving a reply, I, Hu, will personally escort Fellow Daoist Xing to the Desolate Sea,” Hu Zhengfeng said.

"There's no need to trouble Fellow Daoist Hu so much," Xing Rong said politely.

“No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Actually, this matter isn’t entirely for you. I also want to see for myself what the situation is like at the Dragon Slayer’s place, so I can make preparations in advance,” Hu Zhengfeng said.

"What does Fellow Daoist Hu mean?" To avoid arousing suspicion, Xing Rong did not inquire about the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. Since the other party had taken the initiative to reveal it, Xing Rong was naturally more than happy to do so.

"To be honest, I don't recommend that Fellow Daoist Xing go there too soon, but since Fellow Daoist Xing is determined, I can only provide some convenience."

The environment around the Dragon-Slaying Cudgel is extremely harsh. Staying in such a place filled with resentment for too long will affect one's state of mind. Although the Heavenly Court keeps information extremely secret, our Dragon-Seeking Division naturally has many advantages in gathering intelligence.

I heard that the casualties there were quite severe, with two Nascent Soul stage experts having died in succession, and several others suffering injuries of varying degrees.

There are no secrets in this world. Once the news spreads, it will be impossible to gather enough manpower by simply posting notices. In that case, it will probably be necessary to draw elites from various places.

"Regarding matters concerning the Dragon Clan, our Dragon-Seeking Division is naturally the first to bear the brunt. I, Hu, can hide for a while, but I can't hide forever. Perhaps I'll have to work with Fellow Daoist Xing in the future. At that time, I hope Fellow Daoist Xing will not hesitate to offer his guidance."

"When Xing gets there, we'll share our insights and experiences with him, and exchange ideas." Xing Rong naturally understood what the other party meant.
"Excellent, excellent!" Hu Zhengfeng laughed heartily.

"Is the situation at the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine really that dangerous?" Xing Rong asked casually.

"More than that!" Hu Zhengfeng suddenly lowered his voice. "I heard that the Dragon Lord did not truly perish."

"Didn't they say that the Dragon Lord had been completely killed with the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine? The Four Heavenly Emperors have already taken action themselves, how could the other party still be alive?" Xing Rong asked in astonishment.

"The Supreme Heavenly Dragon is not so easy to kill. It is said that the Dragon Lord cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Curse, which was filled with astonishing resentment. Just when it was about to be completely killed by the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, the Dragon Lord used its astonishing resentment to erode the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. The Dragon Lord could not defeat the methods of the Four Heavenly Emperors. In order to avoid being destroyed in body and soul, he took the opportunity to escape into the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine and temporarily escaped with the help of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine."

Hu had gone to great lengths to find out this. There's another version of events: the Heavenly Emperors only brought back the Dragon Lord's head; his body had already escaped into a spatial rift. You should understand what it would mean if the Dragon Lord, with his unparalleled cultivation, had truly escaped with his body.”

"Let alone the body, even a single hair can cause a great disaster." Xing Rong shuddered, but secretly rejoiced. If even the Supreme Heavenly Dragon had fallen, he feared he would never be able to avenge the hatred between himself and the Dragon Seeking Division in this lifetime.

"Who can argue with that? The dragon race is truly stubborn. Even the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Guards couldn't suppress the Weilong Army, and now they haven't been able to completely eradicate the Supreme Heavenly Dragon. Once the Dragon Realm recovers, there will likely be an even greater catastrophe." As he said this, Hu Zhengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

The enemies of the Immortal Realm are not just the Dragon Clan. In this recent upheaval in the Immortal Realm, the number of immortals in various places has been reduced by more than half. If it were to happen again, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, a powerful artifact that protects the realm, would also be destroyed. The demon, monster, and ghost realms, which have been recuperating, would probably not hesitate to carve up the Immortal Realm.

Hu Zhengfeng did most of the talking, while Xing Rong mainly listened, occasionally chiming in.

After resting with Hu Zhengfeng for more than a month, Xing Rong received a transfer order from Gu Changsheng, the newly appointed head of the Dragon Seeking Division.

Accompanied by Hu Zhengfeng, Xing Rong gradually met up with more than a dozen other people and headed to the desolate sea together.

After a large number of demons and monsters entered the Immortal Realm from the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, they were not completely eradicated. Especially in the major sea areas, the rule of the Immortal Realm was greatly shaken, and the danger of the desolate sea was far greater than before.

They encountered numerous attacks along the way, including four powerful cultivators with the primordial spirit body, led by Xing Rong, as well as five or six other Golden Immortals and Great Luo Golden Immortals who were killed or injured.

It took more than a decade to reach the vicinity of the Dragon-Slaying Cutter, by which time more than half of their manpower had been lost.

"I should have known better than to come." Hu Zhengfeng, who had originally planned to come and investigate, was now filled with regret. Now he was stuck and couldn't turn back; he would have to wait until a certain number of people had evacuated before he dared to set off.

Given the current level of danger in the seas, going back alone would be tantamount to suicide.

"Look at that!" Meng Qingshan, the strongest member of the group, looked at the dark clouds rolling on the sea in the distance and his expression suddenly changed.

Roar! A terrifying dragon shadow suddenly burst forth from the dark clouds.

This powerful aura sent chills down the spines of Immortal Venerable Haoyu, Xing Rong, and Hu Zhengfeng, rendering them utterly incapable of any thought of resistance. (End of Chapter)
