I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 614 Dragon People's Secret Affairs
"Is your blood curse secure?" Jiang Wen glanced at Liang Yuan's wrist, faintly sensing a chilling, bloody aura. It was hard to believe such an extremely evil technique was without problems. Even if it used someone else's blood essence, there were still hidden dangers.

Liang Yuan's beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Jiang Wen. A smile played on her lips, her expression softening. She had expected him to press her for more information about Su Pingsheng, but instead, he uttered this single sentence.

She shook her head, pressing her hand against the wound from the blood curse, and said, "It's nothing serious, just that I need more magic power to restrain this blood curse. Although I used someone else's blood essence, it still affects me. It's difficult to eradicate completely, but it's not impossible. I'm just afraid that Zunlong will see through the flaw."

"That's good." Jiang Wen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The two had been hostile to each other and had even fought. But after spending time together, they had developed a certain affection for each other. Now that he understood Liang Yuan better, he also knew what she was thinking.

In this chaotic world, truly virtuous and flawless people are ultimately a minority.

"If you need my help, just say so. I think this blood curse, though powerful, is not impossible to remove."

"I will definitely trouble Brother Jiang then." Liang Yuan nodded with a smile, not refusing. After this incident, she was no longer relevant to the Worshiping Gods Society or the Righteous God Path. Now that she had entered the Dao Palace realm, it was time to settle scores with the elders of that academy.

After discussing some of the secrets of the worship of gods, Liang Yuan also talked about what he had seen and heard in the Zhengshendao (正神道).

Although he couldn't glimpse the inner secrets of the Righteous God Path, Jiang Wen gained a better understanding of it. In particular, he would be more cautious when encountering the various strange and mysterious techniques practiced by the Righteous God Path in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen suddenly remembered someone, Du Haitang, a disciple of the God Worship Society he had met in Buzhou Mountain.

He had promised to remove the divine markings from Du Haitang's body, but he was unable to get away due to various matters. He wondered if the woman was doing well in the Myriad Worlds Sect. After settling these matters, he would go to the Sumeru Realm to take a look and visit the Myriad Worlds Sect as well.

He took out a few pills from his storage bag and handed them to Liang Yuan, so that she could consolidate her Dao Palace realm.

He walked up to the stone bed and looked at the dragon girl who was still asleep on the bed, and couldn't help but peek at her.

This dragon-human girl was different from the dragon-humans she had seen before. Apart from having a pair of dragon horns on her head, she was no different from an ordinary person. She did not have sharp dragon claws, nor was her body covered with scales. Except for her dragon tail, which slightly revealed her dragon-human bloodline, she could be regarded as an ordinary girl.

Compared to girls from ordinary families, she possessed a more ethereal and refined appearance.

At first, it wasn't obvious, but after it was cleaned up, its true form was revealed.

She was wrapped in new clothes, which Liang Yuan had given her. Her body, which had been covered in wounds, was now clean and white, and there was no trace of the injuries she had sustained.

Jiang Wen checked the girl's consciousness and found that she was still in a daze. Perhaps she was too tired, which was why the dragon girl had been sleeping so soundly.

Thinking of the dragon-human race, Jiang Wen recalled the dragon maidens he had once seen in Taicang. They were similar to this dragon-human race, but also had many differences.

Most of the dragon maidens during the Tai Cang era were descended from the bloodline of the Jiaolong (a type of dragon). It is said that their clan also had descendants of true dragons, but whether this is true or not remains to be discussed.

Compared to the dragon people of today, those dragon maidens were even more holy.

"Is the child still not awake?" Liang Yuan leaned closer and reached out to stroke the dragon girl's forehead. His expression was a mixture of worry and pity.

She too lost her parents at a young age and was constantly bullied. Having experienced similar hardships to this dragon girl, she couldn't help but empathize with her.

"She should wake up soon. She has suffered a lot over the years, and she will recover after taking my pills. It's just that she is too young, and those hidden injuries need to be treated slowly, which is why she has been asleep for so long," Jiang Wen said after examining the dragon girl's body.

"For her, it's a benefit in a way." "It's really been a hardship for this child." Liang Yuan sighed softly. "But she's alright, to have met you at such a young age. I wasn't so lucky back then."

Liang Yuan thought of the time she was forced by her relatives. If she hadn't met her master later, she might have died that autumn.

As Jiang and Wen observed the injuries on the dragon girl's side, some trouble had occurred within the dragon race.

The three dragonmen who had stolen the Dragonman's Aversion Stone were kneeling in a large hall, their faces covered in sweat and unable to move. In front of them, a golden-scaled dragonman, over two zhang tall, was pacing back and forth, his powerful aura making the three of them breathless.

"Very good, very good," the golden-scaled dragon sighed. "You three are truly remarkable."

“Boss Ye, we didn’t mean to. That dragon-man was deliberately trying to make trouble for us, and even tried to hurt our brothers, so I… I used such force.” The dragon-man who was the leader of the three was pale, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke. His limbs trembled, like withered grass in a strong wind, and he might collapse to the ground at any moment.

"Is that so?" The golden-scaled dragon's golden eyes swept over the three, his expression shifting slightly. "Of course I believe you, but do you think the clan elders will? Have your brains been eaten by dogs? You even killed someone in the clan. You've followed me for so long, you should know my rules, and you should also know the clan's rules. Anyone who kills another member of the clan will be expelled from the clan with three cuts and six blades."

"Boss Wild, we...we really didn't mean to kill him. That dragon-man, Yan, wouldn't hand over the treasure even after getting it, and we had no choice. You saw it yourself, Boss Wild, that dragon-man was determined to kill rather than give it up, so we had no choice but to use such force." The dragon-man panicked after being persuaded by the golden-scaled dragon-man's words and repeatedly knelt down and kowtowed to explain. The stone floor was etched with marks from his kowtows, showing how hard he had hit it.

Seeing this, the Golden-Scaled Dragonman toyed with the spirit stones he had acquired. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "Since that's how it is, there's nothing I can do. However, your plot to harm your own kind has broken the rules, and I cannot let you off so easily. You may escape the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment. You cannot blame me for being ruthless. I am only doing this to save your lives. Cut off a horn from yourselves, and I will explain this matter to the elders of the clan."

"Thank you, Boss Ye! Thank you, Boss Ye!" The three wept bitterly, feeling as if they had survived a calamity. After kowtowing repeatedly, they each picked up a short knife. They held the dragon horn on their heads with one claw and used the other to present the short knife to the dragon horn.

Under the watchful eyes of the Golden Scaled Dragonman, the three gritted their teeth, closed their eyes, and cut off the dragon horns from their heads with a single stroke.

All that could be heard were their screams, and yellow blood oozed from the severed dragon horns.

For the dragon-people, dragon horns are extremely important organs. Just like human limbs, without dragon horns, many of the dragon-people's innate abilities cannot be used.

With these three individuals so severely disabled, their chances of advancing further in the future are greatly reduced.

That's why cutting off a corner can be considered a form of torture.

The dragonmen, clutching their broken horns, stood respectfully before the golden-scaled dragonman. They offered their horns, allowing the other to handle them.

"Alright, don't make the same mistake again."

"Yes, yes, yes," the dragons replied in unison.

"Also, investigate who gave this treasure to the dragon-man. I need to know the details."

"Yes, Boss Ye."

The three dragonmen retreated, leaving the golden-scaled dragonman alone in the hall. He looked at the spirit stone in his hand, a hint of greed in his eyes.

"Spirit stones! I never expected to see the legendary spirit stones. If I could get more, wouldn't that be..."

The hall was silent; no one responded to his words.
