Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 388 Dragon Evil
————A few months later, in Xuanwei City, in the seclusion room of Nan'an Earl's Mansion

Kuang Liuting sat on the cloud dragon cushion, with his hands in the dragon and tiger seal, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent.

The rich spiritual energy emanating from the third-grade inferior spirit gathering formation in the room was enough to make an ordinary cultivator pass out, but Kuang Liuting on the cushion was like a human-shaped whirlpool, with spiritual energy swirling up and down, and the top-grade spirit stone in the formation flickered and was very busy.

Suddenly, the candlelight on the jade table burst into sparks. Kuang Liuting's knees sank and sweat oozed out of his face. The scene from a few months ago suddenly appeared in his mind again, causing the Nan'an Earl to almost fall down on the small cushion.

"That's right. I have lived up to the expectations of all the elders in the clan. Liu Ting, you are the best candidate to support my Kuang family." After hearing what Kuang Liu Ting said about alchemy, the Southern King Kuang Shenzhi could hardly hide the smile on his face, and the joy overflowed from his fingertips when he stroked his beard.

"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment," Kuang Liuting's face was indifferent, without much joy on it.

Seeing that Kuang Shenzhi was in a good mood, he could no longer hold back and said, "Liuting has dared to overstep his bounds again. I hope Your Highness will understand this matter and learn from Lin Shanwai."

"Liuting, don't say anything more." The Southern King still did not allow Kuang Liuting to continue speaking. At the same time, the joy on his face suddenly faded.

He saw Kuang Liuting's face darken, and he sighed again:
"I think you might have the wrong idea. The man in the outer sea wants you to be self-reliant, go out of the capital to practice, and then go to see him after you achieve the highest grade golden elixir. This is the top priority.

The emperor and I asked you to come to Yunjiaozhou just to test the reactions of various families. Everything else was just a side job, and you have done a great job.

Perhaps you don't know that because you succeeded in establishing the daughter of the Yue family as the Saint of Wumu Mountain, the actions of many self-proclaimed smart bigwigs outside the clouds and mist have been clearly seen by me and the emperor.

As for how to make the move in the future, the emperor and the Northern King are discussing it, so you don't have to worry. In the next few days, you just need to practice hard and form the golden elixir as soon as possible.

At present, no one cares about the gains and losses of a few states and counties in Shannan Road. As for the rules and regulations of the Immortal Dynasty, you don't have to worry about it at all. Just like when Taizu was alive, even if no one mentioned it, few people dared to violate it.

It is the urgent thing for the Kuang family to cultivate talents like the Mingxuanshu body into true masters as soon as possible and recruit them into the royal family, so as to help the one in the outer sea become a true master and revitalize the royal family. "

Kuang Liuting was stunned after hearing this. He knew that it was difficult to persuade the Southern King, so he did not speak again. Only after he bowed and sent off the Southern King's statue did he burst out his anger:
"You just think I don't know that no one dared to violate the rules of the Immortal Dynasty when Taizu was alive?! But can the David clan really produce another Taizu?! I really hope that the one in the outer sea will become a true monarch. Who knows whether he will come to clarify the world of my Kuang family first, or to massacre my Kuang clan first?!

When I become a top-grade golden elixir, I can become his disciple? ! How do I know if he intends to destroy the direct lineage of my Kuang family!
The Taizu's method is still in place, why not use it? He even said that everything I did in Yunjiao was useless!
From the small to the big, from the subtle to the profound! When I sit on the throne of the Emperor in the future, even if I am not yet a True Emperor, I will establish rules with each family as a True Emperor.

As long as there are more capable officials like Kang Dabao to assist, even if it is only in the capital area, strict laws and justice can be enforced to order the disobedient. It is not impossible for David's world to gradually recover its vitality, and when the direct lineage master appears again, the Immortal Dynasty can be restored to its original state!"

"Cough" Kuang Liuting woke up from his memory, opened his eyes and coughed again.

At this time, the anger in his black pupils had disappeared, and he only sighed in his heart: "By now, the Southern King should have taken his people to the outer sea. Even if you flatter me like this, can I forget the grudge in my heart?! Haha, it seems that I have to become a real person as soon as possible, otherwise the world will be lost in the hands of you old people."

————Out in the sea of ​​David Immortal Dynasty, thousands of miles away from Fulong Cliff
The originally clear sky changed in an instant. Dark and purple thunderstorm clouds filled the blue sky and pressed heavily on the sea surface, turning the calm water into raging waves that looked like black jade.

The rumbling thunder sounded for a long time, and when the sky was split by who knows how many lightning bolts, a large amount of blood rain suddenly fell from the cracks in the clouds, making the salty air even saltier and the solemn scene even more solemn.

At this time, the black and smelly blood rain had not yet touched the sea surface, but the undercurrent below was already boiling.

Thousands of red-scaled rays broke through the waves. They were only the size of a palm, with twelve pairs of transparent wing membranes on their backs and mouthparts as bright as fire, which seemed out of place with the surrounding water vapor.

Cultivators who often make a living in the open sea must recognize these water beasts. These small creatures are often only of the middle to lower grade of the first rank in cultivation, but they are the overlords of the sea that ordinary fake pill masters have to stay away from.

It is said that this red-scaled ray was created after the ancestor David skinned the fifth-order black-text fish dragon that claimed to be a descendant of the real Chi. Because the latter's blood was full, not all of it fell into the stomach of the founding emperor, so a stream of it fell into the open sea and connected with the underwater flame veins, giving rise to this alien species.

Don't underestimate them because few people dare to provoke them in the open sea.

Among some monks who have lived in the outer seas for a long time, there are even outrageous rumors that they gather into tens of thousands and eat up a top-notch cultivator.

However, at this moment, they were flapping their wings madly and flying high, even biting their own kind in the bloody wind in order to get a step ahead.

Red-scaled rays were constantly being gnawed into bones, but the victors showed no mercy to their own kind, nor did they know that their red scales made their bodies more vivid. They just kept biting their own kind in front of them, trying only to squeeze out a way to survive from this crowded formation.

However, the enemy moved faster than they thought. A flash of bluish-white lightning illuminated the black water, and a shadow lurking underwater instantly appeared.

A ten-foot-long Lanyi monster broke out of the water, its head split into eight petals, and eight heads revealed eight sets of sharp white fangs arranged in a ring.

The eight streams of poisonous mist it spewed out intersected with each other in the air and condensed into a net. In just a moment, it wrapped the entire school of rays into blood balls and swallowed them into its stomach.

The efforts made by the victors among the red-scaled rays were in vain at this moment. After the poisonous fog appeared, scarlet foam with a radius of hundreds of feet suddenly floated up on the sea surface.

Those were the undigested blood of the red-scaled stingray, flickering in the belly of the dragon beast, like fireflies trapped in black gauze, unable to be free.

Lanyi Zaqiu just felt full for a while, and the look of satisfaction only lasted for a moment. Suddenly, another gust of fishy wind blew from the east.

Its pair of fierce eyes seemed a little dazed. At first, it just looked around casually, and saw a ferocious beast running towards it, which was coming over quickly.

The ferocious beast rushed over with extraordinary momentum. Its huge tail fin swung suddenly, and the blue flame it brought up seemed to evaporate the sea water within a ten-mile radius by half a foot in an instant.

Lan Yi Za Qiu looked carefully at this huge creature that had been alive for who knows how many years.

It has a single horn on its forehead, four legs as thick as an elephant, a single tail as sharp as a spear, and layers of black scales piled up densely, with mysterious patterns on them, which is very mysterious. I don't know how much effort it will take to break it.

Although he was still dozens of feet away from it, Lan Yi Za Qiu felt his breathing was heavy and he had difficulty breathing.

Facing such a difficult and ill-intentioned opponent, Lanyi Zaqiu's eyes flashed with a trace of fear in a very human way. It was obvious that it did not know that it had become the prey in the eyes of the other giant beast while chasing its prey all the way.

"Roar----"

Lanyi Zaqiu was at least a third-level sea beast, and was only a little away from refining the horizontal bone, so it was certainly not an unintelligent creature. But at this moment, it could only use this fierce roar to hide its fear, hoping that it could make the hunter feel a little apprehensive.

It was not until it saw the wings and tail fin of the ferocious beast opposite it burst into blue flames, and its sharp eyes were filled with desire and greed, that it realized that this time there was no escape.

"Then kill me!"

Sitting and waiting for death is not Lan Yi Za Qiu's style.

Get the head start!

Suddenly, six poisonous rays appeared on the false wings of Lan Yi Za Qiu, and thirty-two poisonous fangs half a meter long were exposed on the eight Qiu heads, which were extremely cold and terrifying.

Unexpectedly, the beast was fearless. It flapped its wings and released countless fireballs. After the flames gathered into a ball on the water surface, they spread along the salty sea water towards Lanyi Zaqiu. At the same time, its four thick claws were like golden hooks, coming together to cut countless terrifying cracks on Lanyi Zaqiu's body.

"click"

The six poisonous rays of Lan Yi Za Qiu were blocked by the beast's wings and failed to achieve any success; the blue flame above the sea also failed to work, it just roasted Lan Yi Za Qiu's whole body so hot that it seemed that even the blood in his body had turned into boiling soup.

If it were only this, it might not be enough. However, most of its fangs turned into powder the moment they touched the beast, and only the four fangs on the real head were embedded an inch into the beast's skin. However, the venom did not seep out much, and they were locked by the latter's strong muscles and could not move at all, making it difficult to pull out.

Before Lan Yi Za Qiu could even get frightened and angry, he saw the ferocious beast had just scratched many horrific bloody marks on his body so deep that the bones could be seen. So he gave up the easy advantage and turned around to peck at its real head.

The beast was not willing to do that, so it recklessly concentrated all its spiritual power into its four sharp teeth.

"Bang", after a muffled sound, the fangs broke free from the muscles and cut several irregular blood grooves on the beast's back. Pus and blood spurted out, and the beast was so painful that it had to temporarily abandon its opponent and roared to the sky, shaking the already black and smelly sea water.

Lan Yi Za Qiu was cautious and did not expect to gain any advantage. He just collected the seven heads that had lost their fangs, and his whole body became more solid.

Just as Lan Yi Za Qiu was about to escape, it felt another evil wind coming from behind.

"Oh no! The beast just screamed in pain in order to trick me into turning my head and running away!!"

Lan Yi Za Qiu had experienced countless bloody battles in his life, so without thinking, he poured the demonic power in his body into several vital points on his body without mercy.

At the same time, spiritual patterns appeared on its few remaining fangs. Although it was at a disadvantage, it was not always ready to find an opportunity to kill with one blow.

However, this ferocious beast was much more determined than Lan Yi Za Qiu expected.

As soon as the beast's two front paws grabbed Lan Yi Za Qiu's head, several spiritual energies on the head shattered its metatarsal bones. The beast's scream of pain was much more real this time, but the latter was also in pain, and the front paws shook his consciousness and made his mind chaotic and his mind unclear.

Before it could react, the beast's two hind claws came one after another. This time, Ling Gang could no longer save it. Several holes were gouged on Lanyi Zaqiu's hard head, causing it to tumble feebly in the sea in pain.

But soon, the ferocious beast did not let it suffer for too long. The moment its two hind claws pressed down on its head, thirty-six blue flames flowed along the meridians and poured into the sturdy body of Lan Yi Za Qiu.

The latter lost his head, his consciousness was in disarray, and his demonic power, which he had cultivated for hundreds of years, was no longer organized and could no longer be stopped. In just a moment, the ten-foot-long body was roasted by the flames.

There was no telling how many sea beasts in the deep sea were drooling at the sight, but this ferocious beast with a pair of broken front paws was obviously not a good person. While feasting on the food, not much meat was spilled. In just a few minutes, it had chewed up the entire body, leaving only a grain of beast pill floating in the air.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the ferocious beast, and it ignored the severe pain on its claws and sucked the beast pill into its stomach in one gulp.

"Haha, good boy!"

A loud laugh was heard from the dark purple thunderstorm clouds, and the beast immediately lost the complacency it had felt after having a full meal. It could not hide the shock in its eyes, and it felt that the sea breeze seemed to be even saltier and fishier than before.

A sturdy Taoist priest with his upper body exposed, summoned a dark cloud cage accompanied by lightning and thunder.

But the cloud cage in his hand was swallowing and exhaling the light of the stars in the sky, and twenty-eight runes flickered on the cage pillars like breathing, which was very magical.

The ferocious beast could no longer hear the sound of wind, waves and rain, nor could it see the light of the sun, moon and stars. It could only see the cloud dragon canopy rising, and a dark cloud falling down. It could not struggle at all, and was trapped in the dark cloud.

The beast seemed to have lost all its abilities. Its huge body shrunk to the length of a palm and curled up into a ball. It lost all its majesty and looked just like a gecko on the wall.

The clouds rose up and took the beast back to the cage. When the cover suddenly fell, the beast regained its strength and rushed around in the cage.

But the sharp tail of its wings scraped against the cage pillars, sparks flew everywhere, and the seal characters on the cage body turned in response, protecting the clouds above the cage pillars without dispersing at all. The Taoist only smiled when he saw this, and said softly: "You are so energetic."

He stretched out his short and thick fingers and tapped lightly, and the stopper of the muddy water bag on his waist opened. The turbid wine poured out like mist, wrapping the cloud cage tightly.

After this, the ferocious beast in the cage finally calmed down and would not tolerate any sound.

After the strong Taoist priest finished this task, he stopped being happy, bowed towards the clouds in the sky, and said apologetically: "It took me so long to deal with this Sky Spear Flame Beast. I really have troubled King Nan to wait for so long."

As soon as the strong Taoist finished speaking, Kuang Shenzhi and Kuai En pushed aside the thunder and fell from the void. The latter had obviously not yet formally adapted to the identity of the Southern King's disciple, and was still shocked by the upheaval of the battle scene.

His Highness the Southern King obviously did not care too much about his disciple's reaction at this time. He concealed the anxiety between his eyebrows very well. After hearing what the strong Taoist said, he also smiled and said:
"This beast is the best material for wine. Deputy Envoy Chang Xiao can be so filial to you. As a member of the royal family, I am ashamed. How dare I blame him?"

After hearing what His Royal Highness the Southern King said, Deputy Envoy Chang Xiao's face remained delighted, and he agreed, "The Lord has not had a good appetite in the past sixty years. At the grand banquet held every five years in the palace, he only eats half a third-level sea beast, which makes everyone in the palace very anxious.

However, thanks to the blessing of the Southern King, Chang Xiao encountered such a rare thing as the Heavenly Spear Flame Beast. When Chang Xiao returns and asks the wine official to cut it open, he will make pepper wine for the master. I think the master's appetite will be much better, and the palace will be filled with joy."

Hearing the word "Lord" in the words of Deputy Envoy Chang Xiao, the Southern King seemed to have a trace of undetectable sadness between his brows. However, he then followed the former's words and said: "That is indeed a happy occasion for the royal family."

After hearing this, Deputy Envoy Chang Xiao just smiled and did not respond.

The two were silent for a while, and then took Kuai En onto a dragon flying boat.

This flying boat was also one of the magic tools for traveling that the Southern King made by referring to the shape and structure left by the Great Ancestor. Although it looked similar, it was not as good as the original one. Otherwise, how could the three real people of the Blood Sword Sect defeat this top clan member of the David Immortal Dynasty?
The Southern King Kuang Shenzhi has a very different temperament from the current emperor and the Northern King. He is down-to-earth and pragmatic and does not like extravagance.

When he traveled, he was accompanied by only a hundred attendants at most. Sometimes, he would not even bring a tea boy because of a sudden impulse. Without the female dancers and other entertainment items on the flying boat, he and Deputy Envoy Chang Xiao also had less social interactions.

Kuai En endured the silence in the boat and sailed with the two immortals on the dragon-headed flying boat. They passed through the heavy water vapor and saw a crystal palace standing on an endless island.

"Lanmeng Palace?" Kuai En finally managed to pronounce these three words, and was then taken outside the palace by the serious-looking King Nan.

"Who did Deputy Envoy Chang Xiao bring with him?" a Mermaid Palace officer on duty asked loudly.

Before anyone else could speak, Southern King Kuang Shenzhi had already spoken, and he said in a loud voice: "I, the younger generation Shenzhi, have brought talented people to pay my respects to you, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew over the sea, and a sneer came from Lanmeng Palace. It was so harsh that even Kuang Shenzhi, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, found it very irritating.

"Don't be polite, King of the South, just call me Dragon Sin."
