Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Finally... we found it..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A dark shadow appeared, its entire body suddenly covered in sharp black thorns, and lunged at Fan Luokui.

17. Suspicion

In the blink of an eye, with just one glance, Fan Luokui and the other two recognized what this pitch-black monster was.

—The creature that attacked Jiang Yuetian in the Jinglin Forest, which Yunping called a dragon!

But... shouldn't that only be in the Desolate Sky Domain?

Why are you here?!

The dark, twisted figure moved faster than expected. Fan Luokui's spiritual energy suddenly erupted, and while holding the scabbard in her left hand, her right hand swiftly pressed down on the hilt of the sword.

Her knife is fast, but only if she can actually wield it.

In the blink of an eye, the black spikes on the dragon monster seemed to sense the danger. Several of the sharp black spikes suddenly softened and turned into long whips covered with a lot of gray slime. They quickly wrapped around Fan Luokui's right wrist and bound it tightly, preventing her from drawing her sword.

Fan Luo Kui instinctively tried to break free, but the opponent's strength was astonishing, far exceeding the power of a cultivator at the peak of the Transformation God stage.

Oops!

Realizing something was wrong, Ye Yuchan had already drawn her bow. Although the spirit arrow had already appeared on the bowstring, before the arrow could even fly, the dragon monster had already arrived in front of Fan Luokui.

Too late!

It's absolutely too late!

Although Zhang Ruoxue realized what was happening, the distance became the biggest limitation, and she simply couldn't get to Fan Luokui's side in such a short time.

Oh no, something terrible is about to happen!

The three of them didn't even have time to think about why the dragon was there. What they needed to do was find a way to escape from this guy!

"I never expected they'd track us all the way here..."

The mundane words echoed in the room.

next moment.

The sword flashed past.

The interplay of black and white light instantly sliced ​​through the flesh of the dragon monster. Just before it pounced on Fan Luokui, Fan Luokui suddenly felt dizzy, as if the surrounding space had shifted.

By the time she realized what was happening, she had already escaped Yalong's control, and she found herself standing outside the broken gate.

Where he had originally stood was a blond youth dressed in a black robe.

It looked as if the two had switched places.

Jiang Shaoguang held a silver longsword in his right hand. The seemingly simple magical weapon was surging with extremely terrifying spiritual energy. One after another, black and white circular Tai Chi diagrams appeared on his side. With the spine of the sword as the boundary, the two sides of the sword body flashed with two completely opposite lights, one black and one white.

He lowered his head, looking at the dragon whose limbs he had severed, his brows furrowing slightly.

Because he discovered that this damage seemed to be nothing to this creature, its twisted body grew new limbs again, only this time the limbs looked somewhat thin and the slime on its body seemed to be less.

"I see... No wonder my second senior brother was in such a difficult situation."

He seemed to understand something, and faced with the monster that had regenerated at high speed and was covered with spikes again, he showed no fear.

"Get out of the way! You're in my way!"

The dragon monster seemed very displeased with Jiang Shaoguang's appearance. It let out a deafening roar in anger, and then charged towards Jiang Shaoguang with twisted but extremely swift steps.

Jiang Shaoguang neither dodged nor avoided, but instead held his sword in his right hand and slashed out a brand new Tai Chi formation in the air in front of him, his eyes filled with coldness.

hum~

The countless spikes suddenly converged into a giant, pitch-black sword, as if it were about to cleave everything in two, and with the force of a howling gale, it slashed down towards Jiang Shaoguang.

The pitch-black giant sword crashed down, as terrifying as a dark cloud pressing down on a city, but Jiang Shaoguang merely curled his lip, and the Tai Chi formation in front of him instantly reversed.

There was no vast spiritual energy, no dazzling radiance.

The moment the Tai Chi array disappeared, the dragon monster's movements suddenly stopped, and its enormous sword shattered into pieces with a violent tremor, with countless cracks suddenly appearing on every corner of its body.

It staggered back several steps, as if extremely unwilling, and stretched out a twisted arm forward, but it quickly crumbled and collapsed into chunks of sticky flesh, just like a shattered statue.

This guy died faster than I expected.

"They actually caught up with us..."

At the same time, the old rogue appeared outside the door with Lin Yuan and Jiang Yuetian.

"Waaah... This is so scary..." Little Lin Yuan clung tightly to Yun Ping beside her, shrinking behind her teacher, only peeking out half her little head, her innocent face filled with fear: "What is this...?"

“The same thing as before…” Unlike Lin Yuan, Jiang Yuetian wasn’t terrified of these twisted monsters. Instead, she took a few steps forward, stood before the mass of flesh that should have been blurred out, and crouched down. “Indeed… this slime is the same as before…”

Jiang Shaoguang slowly sheathed his sword, then turned around and smiled at Fan Luokui.

"Hey, junior sister, are you alright?"

Fan Luokui was taken aback by his words, her expression changed slightly, but it quickly returned to its signature coldness: "No, I'm fine."

"It's alright..." Jiang Shaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and looked down at the strange monster: "But speaking of which, I didn't expect that there would be such a monster in the Extreme Heaven Domain..."

“You old rogue…” Ye Yuchan slowly recovered from her initial shock and focused her gaze on the thoughtful Yun Ping: “…What exactly is this…”

Yun Ping spread his hands and shook his head: "To be honest, even if you ask me this, I still don't know what happened..."

"However, I am certain that these wyverns all came from the Far Eastern snowfields..."

"The snowy plains of the Far East..."

Fan Luo Kui, who came from the Northern Ice Palace, looked increasingly grim. "That...could it be the Northern Ice Palace..."

"For now, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Northern Ice Palace; it was probably done by that dragon..."

Yunping still remembers the chaotic dragon that broke free of its chains. There are still many mysteries surrounding it, and it is Jueying's younger brother. Otherwise, he probably would have killed it long ago.

But now, unexpectedly, this dragon has come knocking on our door...

What is its purpose?

do not know.

not understand.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't take any action, much less actively reproduce subspecies...

Moreover, it would be one thing if they were only in the Desolate Heaven Domain, but they are now in the Extreme Heaven Domain. This guy actually crossed a heaven domain to come looking for them.

Yunping's gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on Fan Luokui.

Is it...

He seemed to have thought of a possibility, but the existence of such a possibility was not very reasonable... Moreover, even if he did have a guess, the specific reason was still unknown.

“Everyone has been paying attention these days. I think these dragons are obviously targeting us.”

As Yunping spoke, he cast several spells, enveloping the entire room.

While this can indeed prevent these dragons from attacking at night, if they are outside, the disciples will have to be extra careful.

"They're targeting us...why?"

"I don't know." Yun Ping turned to Fan Luo Kui: "There must be some deeper reasons behind this, but as for the specifics... we have no way of knowing right now."

"All right……"

With a casual wave of his hand, Yun Ping completely obliterated the somewhat disgusting corpse once again, even cleaning up all the slime.

I have to admit, this ability is quite useful.

Having dealt with the corpses, Old Yun clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everyone go back to sleep. We still need to gather intelligence starting tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Yuan's small hand, turned around and gave Ye Yuchan a subtle look before leaving the room.

After telling his three junior sisters to be careful, Jiang Yuetian turned and left.

Just as Jiang Shaoguang was following Jiang Yuetian back to his room, someone suddenly called out to him.

"Third Senior Brother..."

He turned around and saw Fan Luokui's cold face.

Perhaps because he used to be chased by this face so often, Jiang Shaoguang now has an urge to run away whenever he sees Fan Luokui. However, he restrained his subconscious actions and instead showed Fan Luokui a subtle smile.

"Um... what's wrong, junior sister?"

"No...no, it's nothing..."

Fan Luokui's expression changed, as if she was slightly unaccustomed to it.

She paused, put her hands behind her back, and rubbed her index fingers together. "Um... thank you for earlier, senior brother."

What...it was just a thank you...

Jiang Shaoguang was so frightened that he thought his junior sister was going to cause trouble for him again.

He silently breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's nothing, it's what a senior should do."

"In short, thank you..."

Fan Luokui nodded very solemnly, and even bowed... After all, she was a person who cared a lot about etiquette, and was quite serious about this matter.

Jiang Shaoguang felt that this was the first time he had received such a solemn thank you, and he was a little stunned for a moment.

He scratched his face, gave an awkward laugh, and quickly prepared to slip away, afraid that Fan Luo Kui would bring up the duel again: "Um, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."

"Ah... Third Senior Brother."

Fan Luokui called out to Jiang Shaoguang once again.

Jiang Shaoguang swallowed hard, turned his head, and smiled, but his lips twitched incessantly: "Is...is there anything else?"

Fan Luokui stared at the pigeon spirit, then said something that left Jiang Shaoguang somewhat bewildered.

"come on."

Even Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue silently echoed this sentiment.

"Yeah... Good luck!"
