Chapter 230 Riding a Dragon

Meanwhile, after visiting Taodu Mountain, the Dragon Girl of the East Sea, Ao Zhu, learned that Ao Peng was in the territory of Qingcheng Mountain, so she rode a cloud and headed towards Qingcheng Mountain.

However, just as she approached Mount Qingcheng, she saw the entrance to the mountain's grotto open, revealing a world where yin and yang were reversed, and countless ghosts were wailing. A long river of sword energy, like a silver river, was falling from the grotto, trying to descend into the Erlang Zhenjun Temple.

However, before the river of sword energy could fall, the eight ghost generals waved their towering ghost banners, which transformed into a great formation that sealed off the heavens above and the netherworld below, extinguishing all life wherever it passed.

Ao Zhu had a chivalrous heart since childhood. When she saw the myriad ghosts gathered in the cave of Qingcheng Mountain, she disregarded the teachings of the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, who told her not to get involved in the demons and monsters of this place. She immediately revealed her true form as a dragon, and the bright pearl of the East Sea under her chin shone brightly as she directly crashed into the formation of myriad ghosts.

Although Ao Zhu was only at the second tribulation level, she was a true dragon. In terms of the sheer volume of her magical power, the profoundness of her supernatural abilities, and the strength of her physical body, she was in no way inferior to the Eight Directions Ghost Generals. Moreover, she was protected by the treasures of the East Sea Dragon Palace. Furthermore, in the void that she could not see, a demon-subduing peach blossom fell from between the Bodhisattva's eyebrows and landed on her, instantly creating a huge hole in the great formation formed by the Eight Directions Ghost Generals!

"What is the Dragon Princess from the East Sea Dragon Palace doing here?"

"Kill this dragon! We can't let her break through the great formation!"

"Little Dragon, if you know what's good for you, why don't you leave now? This is none of your business, East Sea Dragon Palace!"

Facing the jeers and shouts of the eight ghost generals, Ao Zhu raised her dragon head, her bright eyes shining like the sun and moon under the light of the East Sea Dragon Pearl beneath her chin. She coldly snorted, "It's you little devils who have been causing trouble for the people here, almost ruining my chance to paint dragons! Now get out of here at once, or I might spare your lives if I'm in a good mood!"

When Ao Zhu rushed into this great formation, she felt a surge of excitement and didn't think too much. But after she actually entered, she saw the great formation composed of millions of ghosts and the ghost generals from all directions gathered here.

She was a little scared, but she wouldn't lose face even if she lost to the dragon. She was usually the apple of the eye of the dragon in the East Sea Dragon Palace. Even the immortals who had survived three calamities and nine tribulations treated her with great respect. How could she be frightened by this Eight Directions Ghost General!

At the Erlang Temple, the other four dragons were watching a grand spectacle when they saw their sister crash headfirst into the great formation, actually creating a hole in it.

They immediately realized something was wrong. It wasn't that they were afraid of the ghosts of Chengdu, but Ao Guang had told them before he came not to attack the demons here, as they had their own place to go.

However, Grandfather did not say what the consequences would be if they attacked the demons here, but now that his little sister is trapped in the ghost tide, her brothers naturally cannot sit idly by.

So they revealed themselves as true dragons, flying out from the pillars of the Erlang Temple and rushing into the sea of ​​ghosts.

"Erlang Shenjun has appeared! Zhenjun has appeared!"

At the Erlang Temple, people flocked to the place to pray for protection because of the sudden arrival of the ghost tide. When they saw the four newly painted dragons on the beams and pillars actually taking off and entering the ghost tide to fight against the ghosts, they naturally attributed the merit to Erlang Zhenjun.

Even the two painters put down their brushes and looked solemnly at the clouds in the sky. They had a feeling and looked at each other. They both understood that although the power of flood control and education could stop the ghost tide, it was not enough to completely quell the chaos here. So, their eyes turned to the third Demon-Subduing Hall at the same time.

This sight startled the two, for suddenly a woman in red, like a ghost, silently entered the main hall. Holding a brush and ink, she began to paint alone on the pillars of the hall. In a short while, she had already painted a picture of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. However, in her painting, the embankment was covered with white bones, and the wronged souls sank to the bottom of the river, never to rise again. This completely destroyed the righteousness of the Demon Subduing Hall, allowing the eerie wind to even rush in from the Erlang Temple. For a time, the wailing of hundreds of ghosts and the incessant laughter of the demons filled the air!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield in the sky, four true dragons followed closely behind Ao Zhu and fell into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation together.

Upon seeing her four elder brothers arrive, Ao Zhu felt a little more confident.

Ao Ting, being the older one, quickly assessed the situation and said to Ao Zhu, "Go help them over there! We'll hold them off from here!"

Ao Ting pointed to the long bridge of sword energy, where the three energies of fortune, prosperity, and longevity converged and connected with the three stars in the sky. It was because of the illumination of the three stars that the Qingcheng Cave Heaven did not fall. Moreover, judging from the situation, the sword immortals of Shudu probably wanted to send the source of the three energies of fortune, prosperity, and longevity to the Erlang Zhenjun Temple, believing that this could solve the ghostly calamity in this place.

Although he didn't understand the principles, the sword cultivators of Shudu had done it this way, so there must be a reason. They were just there to help, so they did as they were told.

Four agile dragons flew in all directions, blocking the four ghost generals. Together with Wan Gu Gong, who was blocked by Master Ai, only three ghost generals remained.

Ao Zhu nodded vigorously. The radiance of her pearl cleared the way, parting the clouds with extraordinary might. She charged forward and crashed through the three ghost generals' obstruction. Despite the magical weapons and supernatural powers striking her dragon body, she simply used the radiance of her dragon pearl to protect herself, and remained completely unharmed.

As she approached the long bridge, she caught a glimpse of the source of the three energies. There, she saw a young man being protected by many sword immortals. His eyes were like stars, his skin like the bright moon, and his body radiated light. Seeing him was like seeing a clear blue sky and a bright moon. He was even more handsome than many of the true immortals she had ever seen in her life.

At this moment, the boy remained silent, his hands forming the Three Stars Seal, fully activating some kind of great supernatural power. The three energies of fortune, prosperity, and longevity were outlined around him, transforming into a bustling human street. This human street connected to the underworld, where gods gathered, forming a picture of harmony between humans, gods, and ghosts, completely opposite to the world she was in.

Is it possible that there really are streets in this world where gods and ghosts can coexist peacefully? If so, I'll ask him where it is later, and it would be best if he could take me there...

Suddenly, Ao Zhu realized why she was having such wild thoughts in the middle of the battlefield. She quickly suppressed her distracting thoughts and asked Ao Peng on the bridge, "Is it General Wu Gong in person?"

Ao Peng looked at the flying dragon. Compared with the four real dragons in the distance, this dragon was more slender, but it was also very fast. It was actually able to withstand the supernatural powers of three ghost generals just now, which was truly extraordinary!

"It's me!"

Seeing that Ao Peng had responded, Ao Zhu didn't waste any more words and quickly said, "General, quickly mount me, I'll take you to the Erlang Zhenjun Temple!"

This was Ao Peng's first time riding a dragon. He leaped down from the bridge and landed on the dragon's back. The Three Qi of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity automatically wrapped around Ao Zhu. As Ao Zhu was surrounded by the Three Qi of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, she felt more comfortable than ever before and couldn't help but let out a loud dragon roar.
