Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang's dragon eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and anger!

The matter of the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Orb is a top secret, concerning the survival of the Dragon Clan. If it is leaked, the Heavenly Court will be furious, and our Dragon Clan will be in danger of being wiped out in an instant!

Fear and determination intertwined. Without further hesitation, he raised his massive dragon claw, drawing upon the suppressive power of the core of the underwater inferno!

The vast light of runes instantly shone, like billions of divine mountains, carrying an aura of destruction, pressing down fiercely on Ao Run, intending to completely seal and crush her along with the unspoken secret!

At this critical moment, Qin Chuan, who had been standing quietly by the sidelines, finally let out a very soft, yet seemingly timeless, cold snort.

The sound was not loud, yet it was like an invisible decree. The runic divine light that had originally descended with overwhelming force collapsed and vanished without a trace when it touched the area just an inch above Ao Run's head, as if it had struck an absolutely invisible barrier!

Ao Guang felt an irresistible backlash, his dragon body trembled violently, and he almost fell off the stone pillar.

He stared at Qin Chuan in horror, his dragon eyes filled with fear and resentment:

"Immortal! This is an internal affair of my Dragon Clan, and it also concerns the Heavenly Court! If you insist on interfering, you will be making an enemy of the Heavenly Court! I urge you to reconsider!"

He tried to exert pressure by invoking the immense power of the Heavenly Court.

However, Qin Chuan remained unmoved, his eyes as calm as still water.

In this realm, apart from those few saints who transcend everything, there is indeed nothing he should be afraid of.

If they dare to invade, we will pacify them.

He ignored Ao Guang and simply waved his hand casually.

A gentle yet powerful wave of energy, imbued with the power of supreme laws, swept over Ao Run.

The chains and suppressing runes that had bound her for a thousand years and penetrated her very bones and soul melted and disintegrated as quickly as ice and snow under the sun!

"Roar--!"

With all restraints gone, Ao Run let out a clear, resonant dragon roar, containing a thousand years of pent-up emotions and the joy of regaining freedom!

The enormous dragon body soared into the air, circled once, and amidst the flashes of purple light, transformed into a graceful and mature woman.

She wore a magnificent purple dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her face was stunningly beautiful. In particular, her eyes were captivating and alluring, and the small, exquisite purple dragon horns on her forehead added to her eerie and unique charm.

She landed lightly in front of Qin Chuan, and without hesitation knelt down at his feet, her posture utterly submissive:

"Ao Run, I thank my master for his life-saving grace!"

Seeing that Ao Run was about to escape and reveal the secret of the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Pill, Ao Guang and Shen Gongbao, who were standing to the side, were on tenterhooks, their faces pale, and they were almost in despair.

However, Qin Chuan waved his hand, interrupting Ao Run's words, his tone tinged with a hint of dejection:

"No need to say anything more. I have no interest in the secret you're talking about."

His motive for saving Ao Run was very pure:

"Saving you is merely repaying a favor. If you hadn't used the suppressive power of this place to practice your 'Sky-Splitting Claw' on a regular basis, leaving behind many subtle traces and coordinates on the spacetime barrier, it would have taken me a lot more effort to accurately land here."

Upon hearing Qin Chuan admit that he arrived based on Ao Run's Sky-Splitting Claw traces, and even came from "outside the realm," Shen Gongbao's expression changed drastically once again!

As a disciple of a sage, he naturally knew that beyond the primordial world lay endless chaos and countless realms.

Those who can travel between different worlds are all powerful and powerful figures!

A Great Luo Immortal from beyond this realm, beyond the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court of this world!

No wonder he was so fearless!

At this moment, Ao Run was even more determined to cling tightly to the incredibly powerful golden thigh in front of him.

Although she has temporarily escaped the suppression of the underwater hell, she is still a notorious criminal on the Heavenly Court's list.

Without the protection of a powerful being, they will eventually be discovered by the Heavenly Court's patrolling angels, captured again, and perhaps suffer an even worse fate.

She quickly kowtowed again, her voice soft and earnest:

"My master's kindness to me is like giving me a second life! I have no way to repay him, so I am willing to use my frail body to serve him like a dog! My master is new to this world, and I am sure there are still things he does not understand about the mountains, rivers, geography, customs and people. I am willing to be his guide and explain things to him!"

Without waiting for Qin Chuan's explicit reply, she flashed purple light around her again, revealing her majestic and beautiful true form as a purple dragon.

But instead of soaring through the air, she gently coiled down, placing her enormous dragon head softly at Qin Chuan's feet. Her slender body formed a perfect platform for him to step on.

They actually condescended to serve as a mount!

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment. He was indeed unfamiliar with this world of gods and demons. Having a guide and mount who was familiar with the local situation would save him trouble.

So he reluctantly nodded: "Very well, you may come along."

Upon hearing this, Ao Run's dragon eyes immediately lit up with surprise, and he let out a joyful murmur.

After Qin Chuan leisurely stepped onto her dragon neck, she immediately soared into the air, her massive dragon body stirring up the water. Without looking back, she carried her new master on her back and broke out of the underwater purgatory that had imprisoned her for thousands of years.

The complex and hesitant Ao Guang, along with Shen Gongbao and Ao Bing, each with their own thoughts, were completely thrown into that cage of darkness and heat.

Chapter 4 The Master of Tongtian

As soon as it burst out of the underwater hell and broke free from the shackles that had suppressed it for thousands of years, the vast and boundless East China Sea and the free and fresh air made Ao Run let out a pleasant dragon roar. Its huge dragon body stretched and tumbled comfortably in the deep sea for a moment.

After enjoying this brief but incredibly precious freedom, she suddenly remembered that she was still carrying her unfathomable new master on her back. She quickly composed herself and cautiously asked, "Master, where are we going now?"

She pondered in her heart that perhaps she should first find a secluded paradise to settle down temporarily, and then plan for the future.

To her surprise, Qin Chuan's answer almost made her dragon scales on her body stand on end:

"Biyou Palace".

Ao Run's enormous dragon eyes widened instantly, almost thinking he had misheard. That was the Daoist temple of the Tongtian Saint of the Jie Sect, the Jie Sect's main base where all immortals came to pay homage!

Even ordinary immortals and gods struggle to locate her, let alone approach her. Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, she tentatively asked:

"Master... Master, are you going to visit any of the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Jie Sect? Such as Daoist Duobao, or the Holy Mother Jinling?"

Qin Chuan's voice remained calm, as if he were talking about visiting a neighbor:

"No, I want to see the Tongtian Sect Leader."

"The...Master Tongtian?!"

Ao Run felt a sudden dizziness, and his dragon body swayed slightly, almost losing his balance.

Who exactly is the Tongtian Cult Leader?!

He was one of the Three Pure Ones, alongside Taiqing Daode Tianzun and Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and the leader of the Jie Sect, who wielded the Four Swords of Zhuxian and was unparalleled in killing!

It is a supreme being that truly stands at the very top of this world, whose words become law and are indestructible through countless eons!

Even the Jade Emperor, the so-called ruler of the Three Realms who sits in the Heavenly Palace, is not someone you can see whenever you want!

Judging from the tone of his master's voice, it seemed like just an ordinary visit to a neighbor.

Seeing the hesitation and fear on Ao Run's enormous dragon head, and even the slight trembling of his massive body, Qin Chuan calmly said:

"If you do not wish to go, you may leave on your own; I will not force you."

Ao Run suddenly felt a jolt.

Having left this unfathomable master, where could she, a serious criminal of the Heavenly Court, go?

They'll be captured sooner or later.

She gritted her teeth, a resolute glint flashing in her dragon eyes.

Well, since we've already gambled, we might as well gamble even more!

"Master, what are you saying! Now that Ao Run has acknowledged you as his master, he will naturally obey your every command!"

She quickly pledged her loyalty and, without further hesitation, her enormous purple dragon body stirred the seawater. After discerning its direction, it sped off towards the deepest and most mysterious area of ​​the East Sea.

"Biyou Palace is located on Jin'ao Island, which is said to have been transformed from an ancient divine tortoise. It drifts in the East China Sea, its location uncertain. But with the dragon race's innate sense of the four seas, I, the little dragon, will surely be able to find it for my master!"

Ao Run's words were true; the dragon race does indeed have a unique sensitivity to the four seas.

In less than half a day, after traversing several sea areas filled with spiritual energy and hiding countless dangerous restrictions, an island of unimaginable size, whose overall shape vaguely resembled a giant tortoise carrying celestial palaces, appeared on the distant sea horizon.

Purple clouds drifted eastward for 30,000 miles above the island, auspicious clouds swirled, and the air was filled with the natural charm of Taoism. Faintly, the sounds of thousands of immortals chanting scriptures could be heard, majestic and mysterious.

The closer they got, the stronger Ao Run's anxiety became.

That's a sacred place!

What merit or ability does this "sinful dragon," suppressed for a thousand years, have to approach this place?

Just as she was carrying Qin Chuan and about to reach the invisible boundary of Jin'ao Island, a detached and lofty voice, seemingly resounding from the very source of the heavens, clearly entered their ears. It was devoid of any worldly concerns, yet contained supreme majesty:

"I am overjoyed by the visit of fellow Daoists from another world."

As the sound faded, the boundless strange phenomena above Jin'ao Island suddenly surged!

A myriad of rays of light, a thousand streaks of auspicious color, and celestial music resounding!

From the deepest part of the island, in the Biyou Palace, a great road formed entirely of pure Dao principles and golden light, disregarding spatial distance, instantly stretched out, crossing the vast sea and extending directly to Ao Run's dragon claw, steady and sacred.

Ao Run's heart trembled violently, and he almost suffocated!

She subconsciously looked up and gazed at the golden avenue leading to its end.

Amidst the hazy celestial light and Daoist charm, deep within the Biyou Palace, one could vaguely see a Daoist in green robes, standing with his hands behind his back, his figure as upright as a pine tree. Although his face was not clearly visible, a sword intent that could cut through the heavens and take the Dao, with unparalleled sharpness, was faintly revealed!

Ao Run was utterly shocked. She naturally did not think she deserved the emperor's personal attention and such a grand welcome.

All of this was naturally prepared for her to carry this master on her back!

What kind of person would be so important that the Tongtian Sect Leader, a sage, would personally welcome them and greet them with a golden road?

There seems to be only one answer—an equal existence, another saint!

The powerful figure I'd unwittingly latched onto turned out to be... a living saint?!

Ao Run felt that his entire view of dragon life and worldview had been completely overturned at this moment, becoming incredibly illusory.

Almost instinctively, she carried Qin Chuan and carefully stepped onto that golden road.

The moment her feet touched the Great Road, a gentle yet irresistible force enveloped her. Without her needing to exert any more effort to fly, the Great Road carried her and Qin Chuan on its own, shrinking the distance to an inch, and in an instant, they traversed an endless distance, arriving directly outside the ancient and magnificent gates of Biyou Palace.

A middle-aged Taoist priest, dressed in a wide Taoist robe, with a kind face, a slightly plump figure, and eyes that shone with wisdom and compassion, was already waiting there.

Seeing the golden avenue dissipate, Qin Chuan stood calmly before the palace. He stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and spoke in a gentle yet deferential tone:

"This humble Taoist priest, Duobao, is here on the orders of my master to await the arrival of the Holy One. My master is already waiting in the palace."

Ao Run, who had barely regained a shred of consciousness, was once again thrown into a daze.
