Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice
Page 395
Xiao Long didn't remember where Laozi had gone, but the ancient dragon race had another ability: their sense of smell. They could easily smell the medicinal scent on Laozi's body. Soon after, Xiao Long followed Laozi into the alchemy pavilion.
This was Xiaolong's first time here, and besides, he relied on the scent to get in, but he didn't know whether Laozi was actually here or not. However, his sense of smell never lies.
So Xiaolong went inside, but only saw six immortals working hard, and couldn't find Laozi anywhere. But his sense of smell certainly wouldn't lie.
"Who goes there!" One of the male immortals looked towards the doorway, but Xiaolong was nowhere to be seen. Relieved that no one was outside, the immortal turned back, only to find the other five immortals dead, lying in pools of blood. This scene remained frozen in the immortal's mind...
As the last person fell, Xiaolong threw down the sword he had casually picked up from either side of the house: "What a broken sword, it's just a shell."
After all six of them fell, Xiaolong began searching for the shadow of Laozi. However, after searching once or twice, he still couldn't find a single person. Xiaolong began to regret why he had to eliminate the last person so quickly. If he had left one alive, he could have found out where Laozi was. Now, Xiaolong was truly in despair.
After searching around again, Xiaolong came up empty-handed and found nothing. So Xiaolong got a little angry, and his temper was getting more and more irritable. Just then, a medicinal fragrance reached Xiaolong's nose.
Xiao Long was somewhat incredulous and looked around. Around the wall were many objects, including some highly spiritual pills. He took them one by one, but his strength remained...
After his outburst, Xiaolong became certain that the medicinal fragrance was emanating from one of the alchemy furnaces in the middle. This was no ordinary item; Xiaolong truly hadn't expected to possess something so extraordinary.
Xiao Long laboriously opened the lid of the three-person-high alchemy furnace, then quickly began to eat. There weren't many pills inside, only about a few white ones.
Chapter 121 Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge
Xiao Long ate half of it without hesitation, then suddenly remembered something. It seemed that the Peach Banquet was coming soon, and there was a custom at the Peach Banquet in the Nine Heavens that one had to eat the elixirs made by Laozi. Anyone who went there would get one.
The thought flashed through Xiaolong's mind instantly. He then ate the remaining half of the pills in the alchemy furnace, replaced it with a similar-looking pill, put the lid of the furnace back on, and leisurely left the place...
This could be considered Xiaolong's most triumphant moment. However, since he couldn't wake Lin Yaoxie, Xiaolong temporarily left the residence of the Supreme Lord Laozi. But after taking only a few steps, Xiaolong felt his legs begin to weaken and his vision began to blur. Then he lost consciousness.
Half a day passed before Lin Yaoxie finally woke up, feeling a bit dizzy. He had slept very well. He still vaguely remembered setting up a barrier outside the house, so he opened it and went outside: "Little Dragon, come here."
Lin Yaoxie received no response, so he searched the entire courtyard but still couldn't find Xiaolong. Xiaolong, at 163, was a fairly mature person, so he was bound to have his own opinions, and there was no need for Lin Yaoxie to interfere. So Lin Yaoxie became quiet and wondered where he should go next.
Lin Yaoxie had probably finished eating the nuts inside the house before he was about to go out for a walk when there was a knock at the door, and then a woman walked in.
Lin Yaoxie still remembered this female fairy. He had encountered her when he first arrived in this place. She had deliberately seduced him, which was why she had spilled the tea on him. Thinking about it, heaven was truly a place of trouble, and everyone there was extremely scheming.
However, upon closer inspection, this female fairy is actually quite beautiful. And what she's holding in her hands are nuts…
Lin Yaoxie felt a surge of secret pleasure, then watched as the female immortal slowly put down the nuts and knelt on the ground: "First, I must thank you for saving my life, my lord. These nuts are just a small token of my appreciation."
Lin Yaoxie took a bite as a formality and nodded slightly: "Not bad."
The female immortal then kowtowed again: "This servant's name is Xiao Cui. Besides nuts... do you need anything else?"
Having said all that, who wouldn't know what the female immortal meant? If no one could understand this, then they would truly have pitifully low emotional intelligence.
Seeing that the female immortal was willing, Lin Yaoxie naturally wouldn't refuse. He reached out, lifted her chin, and gently raised it, allowing her to...
Xian also came to her bed.
The two of them couldn't just sit on the couch and chat for a while, so they started talking and gradually got physical. Lin Yaoxie sealed the room with a barrier again and began to spend the night with the female immortal.
The dragons had mostly left, with about half of them having already departed. The other half had been preparing to explore the Nine Heavens, and the most eye-catching feature of the Nine Heavens was, of course, the Jade Pool. They strolled around the Jade Pool and then prepared to return. On their way back, they encountered the little dragon lying at the entrance of the Supreme Lord Laozi's residence.
But besides the little dragon, there was another group of people surrounding it. What they were doing was unknown, but it was clearly not a good thing, as they seemed to be trying to lift the little dragon and leave.
Xiao Long was one of them after all, so naturally they couldn't let others take him away. So the group quickly went over and separated these people, who were somewhat helpless: "Who are you people? How dare you stop us? Do you want to die?"
The dragons were not to be outdone. They immediately killed one of their men as a sacrifice to vent their anger: "This is our brother. If you want to take him away, you'd better fight us first. If you dare to lay a finger on our boy, we will not let you off the hook."
"Everyone says that the dragon race is incredibly strong and has boundless magical power. Moreover, they have recently joined forces with that ruthless demon. If we were to really compete, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"
The speaker was probably a strategist offering advice, while the listener was likely the leader of the group. However, this time he didn't listen to the speaker but instead spoke fiercely to the dragon clan members: "So it's you. I've heard that you barbarians have come to our Nine Heavens. I suppose your arrival here has been quite an eye-opener for you."
These words clearly enraged the dragons, who became extremely agitated and rushed forward to beat the speaker. However, they were stopped. The man then grinned and said, "As expected, they are just some ancient barbarians. Men, these barbarians dare to attack our Heavenly Servants! Seize them all!"
The dragons, naturally, could no longer tolerate this, and the two groups were about to fight, almost touching each other, when suddenly Laozi appeared at the door and shouted, "What are you all doing here? Stop right now!"
This wasn't the Winged Realm, so some of the dragons knew their place and persuaded the others to come down. Both sides were quite anxious. At this moment, a female dragon hugged the little dragon tightly, afraid that something might happen to it.
Then two more people came and helped the little dragon up. Then they heard Laozi say, "Since he is a member of the dragon clan, we should also bring the Winged Lord here. We should discuss this matter with the Winged Lord."
Clearly, such a demand greatly displeased the Heavenly Attendants: "Why should we ask him? That Winged Lord is merely the master of the Winged Realm. If it weren't for our brothers, I probably wouldn't be able to stand before you, Lord Lao, to speak. Besides, it was you, Lord Lao, who came to me to handle this matter. Are you perhaps trying to discard me after I've served your purpose?"
Chapter 122 Ji Long
These words truly surprised the dragons. Laozi naturally knew that these dragons would definitely tell Lin Yaoxie these words, so he stopped and slowly turned around with a sullen face.
That day, the head servant had probably never seen Laozi look like this before, so he was quite flustered and stammered as he spoke: "You...you...Laozi, you're not trying to kill me to silence me, are you?"
"Who sent you?" That was all Laozi asked, but that one sentence was enough for the Heavenly Attendant to know that Laozi was definitely planning to push him out this time.
The Heavenly Attendant glanced at the group behind him, all of whom wanted to live. He hadn't expected Laozi to suddenly become so cunning, but he absolutely couldn't push those behind him to their deaths. And he certainly couldn't possibly outwit Laozi in front of that Lin Yaoxie.
"Alright, Lao Jun, since you've said such things today, don't blame me for being impolite later. If I ever run into you again, you'd better run away with your tail between your legs, or I definitely won't let you go. Brothers, let's go."
After the heavenly servants left, Laozi changed back into his sycophantic manner and approached the little dragon: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's probably just that he's been eating too much nourishing food lately, which is why his body can't handle it. Just take him back to rest for a while and he'll be fine."
After Laozi finished speaking kindly, he noticed that the dragon people were looking at him with strange expressions: "You...you people...what kind of looks are these?"
"Laojun, I will not give a full account of what happened today to the Dragon Lord, but if you go too far in the future, there will be no next time."
"Yes, yes, brothers, don't worry. I will definitely find out who is behind this and who is trying to frame me. Such a thing will never happen again."
After saying these words, the dragons decided not to continue fighting with Laozi, so they took the little dragon into the mansion instead. Once there was no one else around, Laozi packed his things and headed to the main hall.
Sang Ji must tell them about this, otherwise Lin Yaoxie will become more and more arrogant. But since Lin Yaoxie is leaving today... that's not so bad.
But the further they walked, the more something felt off. Laozi stopped and began to recall the little dragon's facial expression. No matter what, the little dragon was not an ordinary person, and it was from an ancient clan. Its body was definitely much better than that of an ordinary fairy. Not to mention the ancient clan, even with his current body, what could he eat that would make him faint?
Something terrible happened in the alchemy pavilion today; six people died. Although the pills in the alchemy furnace were fine, everything edible on both sides was completely wiped out, leaving no residue. If you think about it that way, then everything makes sense.
Since that dragon is so audacious, then I shouldn't blame myself for being too ruthless. After all, that kid only thinks about how to steal my pills every day.
"Come here, sir." Xiao Cui fed Lin Yaoxie a nut, her face lewd. Lin Yaoxie, having already had his fill, put his clothes back on. "I haven't asked you yet. Weren't you supposed to be locked up for a few days? It's only been a day, and he's already sent you back?"
Xiao Cui sat on the bed and said in an extremely charming manner, "Yes, it is indeed very good."
Lin Yaoxie didn't offer any further explanation and continued putting on his clothes. However, Lin Yaoxie vaguely sensed that there was indeed someone moving outside, which he thought might be Xiaolong. So, Lin Yaoxie removed the barrier and went outside.
"Hurry up and put your clothes on." So he walked out without seeing Xiao Cui's extremely disappointed expression. Now that things have come to this, it's no wonder Xiao Cui is disappointed. But thinking about what just happened, she thought that she might really be able to achieve great things in one fell swoop. At that time, she could leave this place and avoid being neglected by the steward.
0oo is asking for flowers....
Lin Yaoxie did see Xiaolong when he came out, but Xiaolong was unconscious and had to be dragged back by the others. There was no doubt that something terrible must have happened in between: "Quickly settle Xiaolong down, and then have someone else tell us what exactly happened."
As the little dragon was being carried into another room, Yilong began to explain: "Previously, we assigned half of the people to return to the Winged Realm, and the other half stayed behind. Because we were bored, we went to Yaochi. But we never expected that when we came back to report to you, Dragon Lord, we would suddenly see the little dragon lying at Laozi's door."
Moreover, someone tried to take the boy away, and we barely managed to snatch him back. When we met Laozi, he examined the boy and said he was fine; he had just eaten a little too much and was a bit feverish, so he just needed some rest.
It seems that Xiaolong is indeed alright now, so I can rest assured: "Okay, then you guys take care of Xiaolong first."
"Little Dragon?" The man was clearly puzzled, so Lin Yaoxie continued, "I'm talking about that boy named Dragon. That's the name I gave him, Little Dragon. As for the surname, we'll have to wait until he kills his enemy to add it."
"Oh, I'll take my leave then." The man turned to leave, but Lin Yaoxie said from behind, "I see you seem to be quite capable as well, how about we call you Ji Long?"
"Thank you, Dragon Lord, Ji Long will remember this." As for the surname, it's a minor matter and there's no need to worry. However, having a name is indeed quite nice, at least it's much faster than waiting around before. And wouldn't that increase the bond between the two of them?
Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but smile, then went back to his room. Xiao Cui's eyes showed some fear, because she had just heard the group of people outside calling Lin Yaoxie "Dragon Lord." There was only one person in the world who was called that, and that was... Lin Yaoxie Guang.
Chapter 123 Search
Although she was just a maid, she naturally knew what she needed to know. Lin Yaoxie's power was extremely strong, not only in the Winged Realm and the Water Clan, but also because Lin Yaoxie was actually the orphan of the ancient Dragon Clan.
The ancient races were all extremely powerful, far surpassing the Celestial Race in every aspect. But wasn't the ancient dragon race always just a legend? How could they exist today?
Xiao Cui didn't understand, but she was also one of those people in this world who didn't need to know. As Lin Yaoxie slowly approached, Xiao Cui finally realized that she still had to follow him.
This Lin Yaoxie is extremely powerful. If I can gain the favor of this Lin Yaoxie in the future, then I will be second only to the emperor. What do I need to worry about? Thinking of this, Xiao Cui quickly lowered her head: "So you are the esteemed Dragon Lord, my lord. I didn't recognize you before."
"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Yaoxie bypassed Xiao Cui and sat on the couch: "I have two questions for you. First, did the Supreme Lord Laozi deliberately send you here?"
"Where did I come from?"
Xiao Cui trembled all over: "No." Then Xiao Cui remembered that Lin Yaoxie had the ability to see into people's hearts, so she quickly changed her words: "Yes, it was Lao Jun who sent me here, but... but... but Lao Jun did not give any other instructions, please forgive me, Dragon Lord."
"My second question is, how long until the Peach Feast?"
The two questions were completely unrelated, leaving Xiao Cui somewhat bewildered: "There are... about two more days."
After hearing this, Lin Yaoxie left without hesitation. Xiao Cui chased after him to the door, where she heard Lin Yaoxie say, "Stay here, and I will let you return to the Winged Realm." This was naturally what Xiao Cui wanted most, so she was very excited and said, "Thank you, Dragon Lord."
Lin Yaoxie did not intend to go directly to Yaochi. Even though Yaochi had already begun preparations, he still needed to ask Sang Ji about the current situation of Donghua.
When Lin Yaoxie arrived, Sang Ji was drinking tea alone, seemingly lost in thought. By the time Lin Yaoxie entered, Sang Ji hadn't even noticed Lin Yaoxie's arrival. Lin Yaoxie had already sat down and poured himself a sip of tea, asking, "What is the Heavenly Lord thinking about?"
Sang Ji turned around abruptly and saw that Lin Yaoxie was also somewhat apprehensive. Lin Yaoxie continued to tease, "Is the Heavenly Lord perhaps thinking of someone?"
Sang Ji could only manage a bitter smile at these words. Regardless of the circumstances, it was easy to guess who Sang Ji was missing, but Lin Yaoxie's insistence on bringing it up made Sang Ji feel extremely uncomfortable: "So it's Lord Yi. I was just reminiscing about some old times. But what brings Lord Yi here? Is it something important?"
"There is indeed something to talk about, but it's really just Donghua's business. After all, it's been almost two days and I still haven't received any news that you, Heavenly Lord, have caught anyone."
"You know Donghua, don't you? I've already dispatched a large force from the Heavenly Palace to search for him. It will certainly take some time to find him."
“Actually, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood,” Lin Yaoxie smiled, “My purpose in coming here is not to ask Your Majesty whether you have found Donghua’s whereabouts, but to offer you advice and help you find Donghua as soon as possible.”
Sang Ji's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, then he asked with some excitement, "Then tell me, where will Donghua go?"
"Of course I don't know where Donghua will go, and I'm not some great figure. But I'm happy to help you find Donghua, Your Majesty. However, I need to know what places you've searched, Your Majesty, and how many people you've sent to search each place."
In truth, Sang Ji didn't intend to capture and execute Donghua; rather, he wanted to bring Donghua under his control. If he didn't kill Lin Yaoxie at this critical juncture, the world might truly become Lin Yaoxie's domain…
Sang Ji's current plan is to use the pretext of killing Dong Hua to capture him and then join forces with Dong Hua to defeat Lin Yaoxie. So, at present, Sang Ji is also very eager to find Dong Hua as soon as possible. However, because of Lin Yaoxie's interference, Sang Ji's purpose cannot be too obvious. He has always maintained that his goal is to bring Dong Hua to justice.
“Alright, since Lord Yi is so resourceful, then I will naturally help.” A servant came over and left after hearing Sang Ji’s words. The two continued drinking tea. After a while, the servant came over with a roll of paper and handed it to Sang Ji: “This is the record synchronized with the search team over there. Take a look.”
Lin Yaoxie took it and glanced at it. During this time, he had searched many places, but he had not searched his own territory, nor the Five Desolations of Qingqiu. He had searched other places as well, but without any results.
This search involves millions of celestial soldiers, including all sorts of people. Donghua might be able to escape, but Moyuan certainly won't, and Donghua definitely won't abandon the Li Kingdom.
The fact that no trace of the two has been found so far is not because they have already searched 5.4 without success, but because these heavenly soldiers have not yet found Donghua's place.
Now that they've almost searched everywhere, all that's left is his own territory, Qingqiu, and the Celestial Clan. Donghua would never run off to the Winged Realm or the Water Clan to walk right into their trap. And since he's currently in the Celestial Clan, Donghua, who knows everything about heaven and earth, must know that too. So, in the end, only Qingqiu remains as Donghua's only hiding place.
And among the five wastelands of Qingqiu… there is… the wasteland that I destroyed that day. I went there then, but because of Bai Qian, I didn’t finish searching it. In other words… Donghua was actually hiding in that place back then…
"It's Qingqiu, so Donghua must be hiding in Qingqiu..."
Chapter 124 The Hidden Door
That place was one that Yaxi had not investigated, and the only possibility for Donghua now was Qingqiu. However, if Donghua was in Qingqiu, then Bai Qian would have an inescapable knowledge of this matter. So... so Bai Qian is now in cahoots with Donghua?
Lin Yaoxie certainly did not want this to happen.
"Hidden in Qingqiu, Lord Yi, you shouldn't speak such words carelessly. Bai Qian and Zhe Yan are not to be trifled with. If these words of yours reach the ears of those two gods..."
"shut up!"
Soon, Lin Yaoxie realized that his tone had been somewhat inappropriate, but since he had already said what he had said, both of them slowly shut their mouths. Lin Yaoxie then stood up after sitting for a while and said, "Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Heavenly Lord, you may remain here." Without receiving a response from Sang Ji, Lin Yaoxie left.
