　Door of Skull

　Prologue) Dragon Has Reverse Scale

　"A dragon has a reverse scale. If you touch it, you will die."

　——Ancient saying of Yanxia

　""

　Yanxia Islands.

　The waves beat against the cliffs, and the blue crescent moon hung among the dark clouds.

　Amidst the rumbling thunder, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the rain curtain cut into the surging waves. It seemed that there was a huge monster swimming on the seabed outlined by the lightning.

　On the cliff, orange lights are shining in the rain

　The light flickered during intermission—it was a villa located on the edge of a cliff.

　"Crash..."

　On the muddy road in front of the villa, a steam car cut through the rain and stopped at the door of the villa.

　The car door was opened, and several bodyguards in formal attire got out, opened their umbrellas, and took an elderly gentleman out of the car.

　The old man raised his head and his eyes briefly fell on the villa, his pupils cloudy.

　He shook his head, took out his cane from beside his seat, and waved.

　"Let's go."

　Escorted by bodyguards, the old man walked through the rain and into the brightly lit villa.

　A banquet was being held in the hall on the first floor of the villa. People in various costumes and masks were dancing to their heart's content.

　In such an atmosphere, the old man seemed a little out of place, but he just waved his hand calmly, and walked through the banquet hall with his bodyguards and went up the spiral staircase.

　When he reached the second floor of the villa, a loud voice greeted him:

　"Hey, old man, is the heavy rain holding you back?"

　The speaker was a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. He was wearing a mink coat, a formal vest, a bow tie and a white shirt, and a thick gold chain on his wrist.

　"The dragon is roaring, Lin Yu!" the old man scolded. "Since leaving the north, you've become less vigilant!"

　"Those dragons can't get close to the coastline, old man," Lin Yu clapped his hands and laughed. "Come! Sit down! How long has it been since we last met?"

　The old man sat down opposite Lin Yu, put his cane aside, and then took out a piece of paper from inside his coat.

　He flattened the paper and handed it to Lin Yu opposite him, saying:

　"Don't rush to reminisce, just take a look first."

　"What's got you so scared?" Lin Yu muttered, taking the paper. "You even brought seven bodyguards with you. Is that really necessary?"

　"You'll know whether it's that serious or not after you read it!" the old man scolded.

　Lin Yu curled his lips, his eyes fell on the paper, he quickly scanned it, and soon frowned slightly.

　"I thought the dragon had left Yan Xia a long time ago..."

　Lin Yu pinched the paper between his index and middle fingers and shook it gently, and the black flames burned it to ashes.

　"What's his name? The ice dragon..."

　"Now he's called the Ancient Dragon Hunter," the old man straightened his hat. "He hunts all those who have inherited the Lord's bloodline. Of course, his main target is us."

　"Would the Black Dragon Society be afraid of an ancient dragon that has lost its power?" Lin Yu smiled.

　"He has the Court of Redemption behind him. Don't underestimate them!" the old man cursed. "Of course, the Supreme Being is busy tampering with the Citadel, so we might not be affected for the time being."

　"hehe..."

　Lin Yu rubbed his head, a hint of annoyance between his brows:

　"Didn't Blackwood reach an agreement with them? We still have to send a demigod to be a ridiculous Star Caller. We've already made such concessions, and that ancient dragon is still trying to make things difficult for us. Isn't this inappropriate?"

　"You want to reason with a dragon?" the old man scoffed. "Well, stop complaining. If you keep holding this stupid banquet, I'm sure he'll soon be among the guests and stab you while you're drunk."

　"Heh, he dares to attack here, unless he wants to make enemies with the entire Danzhou." Lin Yu spread out his hands, "Renyan Hall... Danzhou Prefecture... You can't imagine the identities of these guests. Unless that ancient dragon has lost his mind, he will never think of attacking me..."

　Lin Yu stood up, walked to the windowsill on one side and pushed open the window.

　Outside the window, the rainstorm roared, the horizon was vaguely visible between the rain curtains, and the light of the blue crescent moon was distributed like broken glass.

　Dark shadows weaved in and out of the currents, occasionally jumping out of the water to be briefly illuminated by the moonlight.

　That is a dragon, a kind of dragon that lives in the Ocean of Storms and is often active during storms.

　"It took the Yanxia people thousands of years to finally make the dragons fear us," Lin Yu whispered. "Before, if the lights were turned on on the cliffs, those dragons would have flown up and devoured our flesh and blood."

　"And now, a dragon, stripped of its scales, walks among us in human form, treating the laws of civilization as nothing but scrap paper?"

　Lin Yu turned around and looked at the old man:

　"Teacher, do you think we should compromise with a dragon?"

　"The reason we compromised was never because of the dragon," the old man shook his head, "but because of the Supreme String."

　"The Chord of the Highest..."

　Lin Yu's mouth curled up slightly:

　"So we're just going to let that angel named Cain get the Supreme Chord? Old man, you should know that earth-shattering events are happening on the other side of the ocean tonight. The Golden King is trying to open the White Tower, and the Court of Redemption is almost there."

　"We all know she can't succeed. Blackwood is watching," the old man shook his head. "Of course, if she enters the White Tower, everything will be uncertain."

　Lin Yu walked up to the old man, lowered his head, and said in a low voice:

　"The Court of Redemption will inevitably turn against us, because Cain is destined to take away the unknown that the Lord possesses..."

　"This is no longer the Ice Dragon Emperor era. Acting on our own will not allow us to grow stronger. We need more allies... the more the better... Only when the Lord's power is deeply rooted in the land of Yanxia can we seize the initiative..."

　The old man listened silently to Lin Yu expounding on his ambitions. After listening, he shook his head slightly:

　"not enough."

　"What's not enough?"

　"I

　"Our strength is insufficient," the old man said. "Of course, if Black Wood can successfully bring back the reborn dragon from the other side, our chances of winning will increase."

　"We've been hiding for long enough!" Lin Yu suddenly roared, "I won't let that angel take everything from us. Never."

　He paced back and forth, the long tail of his mink coat fluttering, making him look like an angry tiger.

　The old man didn't say anything else, just let Lin Yu vent his emotions.

　After a while, Lin Yu finally stopped:

　"Perhaps, now will be an opportunity."

　"What chance?" asked the old man.

　"The Court of Redemption is busy dealing with the White Tower and has no time to pay attention to this place..." Lin Yu murmured, "Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to hunt the ancient dragon..."

　"As long as he dies... the threat posed by the Ice Dragon family will cease to exist. If the Court of Redemption seeks accountability, they can simply frame him."

　"You want to hunt the ancient dragon?" The old man raised his eyebrows. "Child, have you thought it through?"

　"Dragons aren't unkillable. At least when I destroyed that ancient dragon's sect, my fingernails were filled with ice dragon bone fragments," Lin Yu smiled. "They are no longer as powerful as they were when the Ice Dragon Emperor ruled Danzhou. With the blessing of the tattoo, we can rip out his heart."

　Hearing Lin Yu say this, the old man sighed softly:

　"The order I received is to follow your orders."

　"I choose to strike first," Lin Yu nodded. "If we continue to allow that ancient dragon to destroy our assets, it will not only be a cowardly compromise, but also a destruction of our credibility..."

　"Since you've made your choice, the Danzhou branch will fully support you," the old man sighed. "Dragon hunting spears... siege vehicles... make a list of how many you need."

　"I haven't asked for it yet. You know me well."

　"Come on! With your extravagant nature, you don't even consider the cost when fighting!"

　"To deal with the Ancient Dragon Hunter, I'm afraid we'll need the resources of a medium-sized local conflict war," Lin Yu touched the gold chain on his hand, "Let the members of the Danzhou branch take action."

　"take care of yourself!"

　The old man grabbed his walking stick, wrapped his windbreaker around him, and looked at Lin Yu's smiling face.

　"But I must remind you," he whispered, "You were the one who orchestrated the Ice Dragon's extermination of our clan. Once things get out of hand, the Ancient Dragon Hunter will be the first to come after you."

　"I'm not afraid of him," Lin Yu chuckled. "Please, teacher, you really should trust me more."

　"Put away your carefree attitude first!"

　The old man looked towards the banquet hall outside the terrace. Even though there was a violent storm outside the window, the atmosphere inside the banquet hall was still warm.

　The struggle between the Yanxia people and dragons has lasted for thousands of years. Perhaps it is time to come to an end.

　"Don't hold this kind of banquet again next time!" the old man shouted sternly.

　He turned around and waved, signaling the bodyguards to follow him.

　At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the distant horizon—

　"clang----"

　It was a long, ringing sound, accompanied by violent tremors in the spiritual world, sweeping in from the horizon.

　Amid the waves of the Ocean of Storms, the group of dragons that had been stirring up trouble suddenly retreated to the bottom of the sea. The outline of the rainstorm tilted briefly, and the air began to tremble as if swept by ripples.

　The lights in the banquet hall flickered a few times and suddenly went out.

　Screams and noises rang out from downstairs. After a brief moment of confusion, someone snapped their fingers:

　"Snapped."

　Flames burned at Lin Yu's fingertips, and the candles around the banquet hall were lit one after another.

　"Silence, everything is safe here." Lin Yu said majestically.

　A spiritual fluctuation coming from the other side of the ocean? So powerful that it could even cross the ocean and reach Yan Xia?

　This level of abnormality could only mean something happened to the White Tower...

　"Old man," Lin Yu turned around, "you should come back immediately..."

　As soon as he turned his head, he saw a flash of ice-blue light. The old man's body stiffened slightly, and then split into two parts at the waist, and his internal organs fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

　"!"

　At some point, a bodyguard in a black suit was covered in ice-blue flames. Before Lin Yu could see his face clearly, the ice flames turned into pitch-black armor, covering his suit and turning him into a tall knight.

　The ancient dragon hunter stood in front of Lin Yu, and ice flames gushed out from the cracks in his armor.

　At some point, he infiltrated the Black Dragon Society's bodyguard team!

　"Ancient Dragon! Take repressive measures quickly..."

　The Black Dragon Society bodyguards around wanted to take action, but they saw the Ancient Dragon Hunter swung his claws violently, and the ice flame exploded, instantly blasting everyone around him into pieces of broken flesh.

　"boom--"

　Lin Yu quickly took two steps back before the ice flame exploded. He reacted quickly and rolled up his sleeves. The dark tattoo burst into black light, and runes wrapped around his wrist.

　He held his breath, staring at the sea of ​​ice and flames, watching the burly figure walk out from it.

　The ancient dragon hunter came walking on fire, holding a long spear.

　From the pair of ice-blue vertical pupils between the gaps in his armor, Lin Yu saw the desire for destruction.

　"What are you doing!" Lin Yu yelled, "The Black Dragon Society and the Court of Redemption are partners, have you forgotten?"

　"Ling Sui, your people were the first to betray."

　Gu Long walked towards Lin Yu step by step, each step making a dull sound:

　"The Most High has ordered me to kill you all."

　铃碎

　...? Does this mean the Changming Xinghai Bell is broken?
