Chapter 705: Ancient Dragon Palace
"It's one of the purposes. Helping you is also a purpose."

Xu Hong said bluntly: "I have many spies on Dragon God Island, and they keep sending back information. Zhang Yunhua's strength is getting more and more strange. I guess it must be related to that secret. If we don't take action and let him develop, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with in the future."

"Your intuition is spot on."

Xie Huan nodded and said.

"So what is this secret?"

Xu Hong's eyes lit up.

"It's hard to describe in words."

Xie Huan sighed and shook his head slightly.

"If that's the case, then don't worry. I'll talk about it in detail after I pacify Dragon God Island."

Xu Hong laughed loudly, full of confidence: "You are Weiwei's Taoist partner, so you are naturally my friend, not my enemy. Why don't you join me in razing Dragon God Island? You will naturally get a share of the huge benefits. With your talent and luck, it will be no problem for you to become the emperor of mankind in the future."

"I don't want to get involved in the affairs of your two alliances for the time being."

Xie Huan's eyes were as calm as water as he refused calmly.

Xu Hong frowned slightly, obviously unhappy, and then said: "Well, I won't force you, but if you don't help me, at least you can't help Zhang Yunhua."

He was about to leave when he suddenly shouted coldly, "Wait!"

Jin Hai's black robe fluttered, his eyes burning like will-o'-the-wisp fire, staring intently at the red halberd in Xu Hong's hand, "Is this the spiritual treasure, the Melting Star Halberd?"

Xu Hong glanced at him and said, "So what?"

"Hehe, this spiritual treasure is the most suitable treasure for me in the world. I have been looking for it for hundreds of years without any results. I didn't expect it to be in your hands. Give it to me. The conditions are negotiable."

Jin Hai swallowed, stretched out his burning hand, his eyes full of greed.

"No need to discuss."

"Humph, I advise you to think twice."

"Do you threaten me?"

Xu Hong sneered: "If your leader was here, I might be a little afraid of him. He is just a Taoist hermit. Haha... I am the Seventh Emperor!"

"you!--"

Being underestimated, Jin Hai immediately flew into a rage, his black robe fluttered instantly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

But although he was vicious, he was not a reckless man after all. There was deafening fighting outside, and many people from the Tiangui League must have come. He could only suppress his anger.

Xu Hong ignored him and turned to Xie Huan and said, "My good son-in-law, your father-in-law welcomes you back anytime."

After saying that, he chuckled and turned into a beam of black light and flew away into the air.

"Are you his son-in-law?"

Jin Hai turned around and asked sinisterly.

Xie Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head, rubbing his brows with his fingertips and sighed, "Trouble."

"We have just formed an alliance with Zhang Yunhua. You won't betray us and follow your father-in-law to deal with us, right?"

There was a flash of cold light in Jinhai's eyes, and he suddenly took half a step closer.

He originally did not take the alliance seriously, but since the Molten Star Halberd was in Xu Hong's hands, Xu Hong became his enemy, and the alliance with Zhang Yunhua became meaningful.

Xie Huan pretended not to hear anything, turned around and looked into the deep void, and suddenly asked: "Where do you think...the dragon corpse went?"

"where?"

Jinhai frowned.

"How did Zhang Yunhua show up when we fought the dragon corpse last time?"

A glimmer of silver light flashed across Xie Huan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Jin Hai's pupils shrank suddenly: "You mean... Zhang Yunhua refined the dragon corpse?!"

He was not stupid, and he figured it out immediately. "That evil beast is so ferocious that even a late-stage spirit transformation cultivator would have difficulty in subduing it. How could Zhang Yunhua be able to drive it like an arm?"

"Drive?"

Xie Huan chuckled, his eyes shining like frost on a cold moon, "I'm afraid the body has already merged with the human." He suddenly turned around and looked directly at the corpse, and said word by word: "What's even more interesting is - have you ever thought about who this dragon corpse was before it was alive?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Hai took two steps back in shock and asked in a trembling voice, "Xuan Yi?!"

Xie Huan stood with his hands behind his back, staring into space. “The dragon corpse was so powerful that it was probably an immortal when it was alive. In Xuan Yi’s time, there were still immortals, but they were almost extinct. Even among the dragons, the only ones who could have such a high level of cultivation were probably Xuan Yi and the dragon clan leader at that time.”

"So what if it's Xuan Yi?
Jin Hai laughed grimly, and suddenly flames burst out from his pupils. He said in horror, "Could it be that there are still some thoughts left in the corpse?"

"Why else do you think I came straight here?"

Xie Huan's silver eyes flickered: "Whether it was Xuan Yi or the Dragon Clan leader at that time, if they really wanted to stay, then everything that happened back then would be revealed."

"Now what?"

Jin Hai's breathing stagnated, and he asked after a while.

“Play it by ear.”

After Xie Huan finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the corridor.

……

The black tower had already been in chaos. Various secret vaults, corridors and prohibitions had been twisted and collapsed, forming a large amount of strange space and dangerous energy, and many monks were drilling in and out of it.

Xie Huan activated the Eye of Insight and passed through layers of obstacles. He saw many cultivators fighting. There were fights between the Tiangui Alliance and the Potian Alliance, as well as fights within the two alliances, all for the sake of snatching treasures.

He was trying to see if he could find a bargain, and was also waiting for an opportunity.

If the dragon corpse was really taken away by Zhang Yunhua, then he believed that Zhang Yunhua must be in the black tower.

Because this is the treasure house of the Canglong Chamber of Commerce, it must be the core area of ​​the Tiangui Alliance's attack. Xu Hong has come here in person, so Zhang Yunhua cannot just ignore it.

Jin Hai had no clue and could only follow him silently.

The three of them sped through the chaotic corridor, feeling the space around them constantly collapsing and the forbidden fragments floating like snowflakes.

Suddenly, Xie Huan's eyes focused, and a strange faint light came out from the crack of a collapsed corridor - it was not an ordinary forbidden light, and ordinary cultivators could not detect it at all.

The reason why he had the sense was not because of the Eye of Insight and "The Return of the Immortal", but because the ninth spirit in his body moved and sensed the spiritual light.

Xie Huan then looked with his eyes of insight and finally saw something unusual.

"what have you found?"

Jin Hai followed closely behind him, and when he saw him stop, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"It's weird."

Xie Huan did not explain. A ray of lightning gathered at his fingertips and slashed directly towards the spiritual light crack.

"laugh!"

The crack was torn open along with the spiritual light, and a deep passage emerged inside. At the end was an ancient bronze temple floating in the void.

"really!"

Xie Huan's eyes sparkled with silver light and he stepped in without hesitation.

Jin Hai and Zhou Feng also hurried to follow.

"There is actually a hidden secret vault."

Jinhai's eyes were shining and he was extremely excited.

The paths and secret libraries in this black tower have almost all been visited by the monks of the Second Alliance. Not even a tiny bit of residue is left. It is very difficult to find any leftovers, but it is much easier to pick up corpses.

Now a new secret library suddenly appeared, and it was a hidden one. The three of them were very excited and arrived in front of the ancient bronze temple in an instant.

All over the bronze body of the ancient temple were majestic coiled dragons, with scales and claws flying, like living creatures, and their heads were all facing the center of the temple gate.

"The Ancient Palace of the Dragon Clan!"

Jin Hai exclaimed.

Xie Huan's heart was also beating wildly. Both the shape and the aura of this ancient bronze temple were very likely the predecessor of the Canglong Chamber of Commerce, something left over from the Xuan Yi era.
