Jiuwu Taoist was really surprised. She took a big sip of wine and said in surprise:
"How could this monk be so influential? He even has the support and protection of so many small fry!"
The immortals have no contact with the water creatures, so they really don't know the personnel situation or who the big names of the water creatures are. They can basically only find out when they start to cause trouble.
It can be said that the territory of the aquatic tribe is equivalent to a holy place isolated from the world. Even if immortal cultivators find it sometimes, they will not rashly contact it. After all, the deep water is the opponent's territory, and the immortal cultivators are at a greater disadvantage.
Ning Xianzhi had been watching the Tianlong monk and said:
"This is a fallen dragon, an enlightened fallen dragon that has remembered its true form, but has not yet fully transformed back into a dragon. The dragon's might isn't conjured by magic, but rather its own!"
"Oh, the Loach Fallen Dragon! He must be from a very important family. He even had soldiers following him when he went ashore. He must be a member of the Dragon Palace's side branch at the very least!"
Taoist Jiuwu stopped thinking about drinking, and her face became serious for once.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will turn into a conflict between the immortals and the Dragon Palace!
But on second thought, Tianlong Faseng is from Jintai Temple, and Jintai Temple enslaves the local people. It can be said that the water creatures are helping the evil, so it is normal for the immortals to intervene when they pass by!
As for the dispute at the White Snake Temple, I'm sorry, we two immortal elders just passed by and were not aware of it!
"Xianzhi, what do you say?"
"We will secretly use magic to seal off the Tiannu River for a while to prevent reinforcements from coming out from below. If all else fails, we will show up and take action!"
This is indeed a good idea. Jiuwu Taoist nodded in approval. She glanced at Tiannujiang and sighed in disgust:
"It's rumored that the Tiannu River was formed when the Xuanshui Star Palace in the sky fell. It's a vast river, and it would be very difficult to seal it for a long time! If only I could drink a few sips of the water tribe's fine wine to replenish my strength..."
Ning Xianzhi laughed dumbly, knowing that her friend was hinting at something, she replied:
"I can't get the fine wine of the Water Tribe, so I'll just have to treat you to something else."
After the discussion, the two immortal elders took action at the same time, and the nearby section of the Tiannu River was actually frozen.
River diversion!
Under the river, the maid of Dragon Palace went to report the situation as soon as the Seventh Prince rushed out to seek revenge.
The reinforcements that arrived later were blocked by the frozen river.
This ice layer was not formed naturally, but was the work of a great monk!
"I'm chiseling, but this ice...is so hard, I can only get a few ice chips."
The water soldiers under the river were all troubled and puzzled. They worked together to break the ice and at one point they doubted their own strength. How could they be so weak?
After struggling to knock down a large piece of ice, I found that there was a layer of barrier blocking it!
"Is it an evil cultivator from the demonic sect? Or is it a great demon at work, targeting the precious body of the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace?"
The water tribe soldiers no longer worried about the reason. They made a prompt decision and took a detour. No one could freeze the entire Tiannu River!
*
While Chu Wuji was leading the charge, the water tribe soldiers secretly fired water arrows to assist the Tianlong monk. Yun Qingying used talismans to unleash the power of thunder to help Chu Wuji block those sneak attacks, giving him a fighting environment in which to concentrate.
The fairy girl's skirt fluttered, and even though she was dressed more seductively, she still exuded a stunning and elegant beauty. When she saw Aunt Green Snake coming out, she was about to follow her, but the Sky Fox Queen dissuaded her.
"Wait a minute, don't go over there, just stay where you are~"
"Goddess Sky Fox, what do you mean? Do you want me to use magic to sneak attack the Tianlong Monk here?" Yun Qingying was a little anxious and unwilling to just stand by and watch.
"No, if you rush in and fight, how can I deal with any unexpected situations? Just learn from the White Snake and stay where you are. This is also helping your brother~"
Yun Qingying still didn't understand Senior Tianhu's intention, but she believed that the two great demon seniors, White Snake and Sky Fox, would not harm Chu Wuzhi. She could only stop thinking about flying, stay where she was, and closely observe Chu Wuzhi's battle situation.
But the girl was a little impatient and kept watching Chu Wuzhi taking action. She frowned, bit her lips nervously, and wanted to rush over to help several times.
Chu Wuji can be said to have launched hundreds of weapons at the same time. His attack included fists, giant blades, straight knives, flying swords and other means. At the same time, the power of his fists changed more and could transform into the appearance of hundreds of beasts!
But the most satisfying thing was the "elbow" attack that went from south to north, which finally made the golden body of Tianlong Monk dent, and an elbow mark was left on his chest, with blood oozing out.
"Your Vajra body is not as strong as my Qi, blood, tendons and bones. Is it your technique that is not good enough, or is it you who are not good enough?"
Chu Wuji's doubtful voice fell into the ears of those small fry, and it was like a bolt from the blue in their hearts. Even though they were enduring the fierce attack of the Green Snake Girl, they couldn't help but turn their heads to confirm the authenticity.
Even though the Seventh Prince of Tiannu River was still a fallen dragon, he was already half a dragon. Ever since he remembered his true form, the blood of the Dragon King had revived. Now, with the blessing of the Buddhist Vajra Body, how could he be injured by someone so violently?!
"Still distracted and not taking me seriously!"
The Green Snake Aunt turned into a giant snake, flipped over and swung its tail suddenly, killing several aquatic soldiers instantly, and all the shrimp threads and crab roe were blown out.
Tianlong Monk looked down at his sunken chest, his anger turning into joy. He looked at Chu Wuji with a sad and regretful look:
"For someone like you who only cultivates the physical body and can't even fly, you think you can be fearless just by getting close. Little do you know that this is a fatal flaw..."
"Clairvoyance——Open!!"
Amidst the deafening roar, the skin between the eyebrows of the Tianlong monk began to wriggle and a tear appeared. Amidst the dazzling light, a dragon spirit flew out.
The body of this primordial dragon is covered with a layer of gray skin, which was the shackles that bound it as a fallen dragon in the past. Now, it is gradually fading away. This shameful fallen dragon's shed skin is turning into nutrients to nourish its primordial spirit.
Its dragon claws were sharp and pounced straight into Chu Wuji's forehead!
At such a close distance, Chu Wuji had no room to dodge. He seemed to be struck by lightning. His body straightened up and stopped moving, his eyes lost in confusion.
*
In the Yuanshen Cave,
The soul of the Seventh Prince of Dragon Palace broke into this place and was about to wreak havoc when he suddenly froze.
The offensive action came to an abrupt halt and he fell into self-doubt.
[Is this an illusion... Not only is there a lake of Qi and blood filling the Yuan Shen Cave, but why is there also a white snake and a nine-tailed celestial fox?!]
Did I accidentally enter someone else's soul cave?
No matter what the situation was, the two beings before him looked at the Seventh Prince with murderous eyes.
The spirit dragon quickly introduced his family background and spoke very quickly:
[You two, I am the Seventh Prince of the Tiannu River Dragon Palace...]
*
Chu Wuji's unconsciousness lasted only two breaths. He had no time to confirm the situation in the soul cave. The fact that he was able to regain consciousness meant that everything went well.
After the Tianlong monk performed the so-called "Open!", his body also fell into a state of unconsciousness, and there was no sign of waking up for the time being.
No, he did change a little, blood suddenly burst out from between his eyebrows!
Chu Wuji thought it was a sneak attack, and subconsciously used the giant blade of the chopping board to block the blood. Then he used the giant blade to swing the "Blood Knife Sutra" and chopped the Tianlong monk fiercely. He chopped him so hard that he could not even maintain his human form and turned into a strange fish.
The head is like a dragon, but also retains some characteristics of a loach. The body is a dragon with dragon claws, nearly seven meters long.
Chu Wuji heard Ning Xianzhi's mother's voice at this time:
[Hurry up and leave the Tiannu River, or the water tribe's reinforcements will arrive! ]
At the same time, there was the voice of Senior Jiujiu, who seemed to be drooling:
[Bring that giant loach with you and make me a side dish!]
Chu Wuji was a little confused. How could he hear their voices and secretly monitor Yun Qingying's safety?
The training treatment this direct disciple receives is truly amazing...
He did not allow himself to hesitate and decisively did as the two said. He grabbed the body of the fallen dragon with his huge hands through the air, and then called his companions to run away together!
Chapter 238: The King of the Wrathful River
Chu Wuzhi retreated all the way back to the Diaolongkou area before stopping, but he stayed away from the crowd to avoid being disturbed.
He threw the body of the loach-fallen dragon aside, and Ning Xianzhi and Jiuwu Taoist appeared immediately.
The two immortal elders slowly descended from the clouds, their movements neither hurried nor slow, calm and composed, but at an extremely fast speed. Just as I could sense their breath, the next moment, their feet were already firmly on the ground.
The Drunken Taoist still had that nonchalant look, with none of the airs of an immortal. She hung the wine gourd around her waist, walked barefoot with brisk steps, and the lapels of her loose Taoist robe swayed as if two plump water balls were hidden inside. She ran to Duolong to observe and assess him.
She exclaimed softly, "Although it's a fallen dragon, it can be considered a real dragon. It's incomparable to the fat dragon from last time. It has such strong vitality!"
Ning Xianzhi's dress is similar to her friend's, but it gives people a completely different feeling. Her clothes are neat and dignified, and she has an ethereal and transcendent air.
"Master, Senior Jiujiu, why are you here?" Yun Qingying saw the two elders and walked up quickly to greet them.
Ning Xianzhi really hadn't thought of a good reason. Her main purpose for coming here was that she was afraid that after Chu Wuji solved the matter of the White Snake Temple, Bai Sujin would take him away, and it would be difficult to find him then!
She paused for a moment, choosing to use her friend as a shield: "Jiujiu heard that there was a water tribe banquet here, and wanted to see if there was a chance to drink, so I accompanied her here."
The beautiful girl's fox ears twitched as she said in slight surprise, "Senior Jiujiu's connections are so impressive!"
Just as Yun Qingying finished speaking, another charming and sweet voice was heard. The Sky Fox Goddess asked playfully:
"That's really a coincidence. The young master happens to be here, and the White Snake Temple is also here~?"
Even though she was ridiculed like this, Ning Xianzhi was not displeased at all, because these words touched her heart. Ning Xianzhi had wanted to complain about her friend like this for a long time. Every time she looked for wine, she would find some strange information.
The first time she inquired about the rumors about the White Snake Temple, and the chance encounter with the missing Chu Wuzhi at Sanquan Market...all happened when she was craving for alcohol.
Chu Wuji was afraid that their conversation would become tense after a few words, so he quickly stepped forward to interrupt the conversation and asked about the actual matter:
"Master, Senior Jiujiu, why did you just tell me to run? The Tianlong monk has been killed, and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals have been repelled by my aunt. Is there anything I should be wary of?"
In fact, the Tianlong monk was not dead yet, but his soul and body were severely damaged, causing Chu Wuji to misjudge his chances of survival.
Ning Xianzhi briefly analyzed his background and then said, "This Heavenly Dragon Monk is most likely a member of the royal family of the Skywrath Dragon Palace. If you hadn't retreated, trouble would have followed!"
Fighting with aquatic creatures by the river is asking for disadvantages.
Bai Sujin confirmed her sister's injuries. She was fighting alone against more than a dozen water soldiers, and they were soldiers blessed by the spiritual essence of the Tiannu River. She suffered some minor injuries, but they were not serious.
Seeing that the green snake was fine, Bai Sujin came to her son and joined the conversation. She said:
"When this Tianlong monk attacked Wuji with his spirit power, he claimed to be the Seventh Prince."
Ning Xianzhi had no knowledge of this aspect and didn't even recognize a few of the water tribes. She called her friend:
"Jiujiu, do you know the Seventh Prince of the Skywrath Dragon Palace?"
"I don't know. How could I have heard so many stories? But looking at this incomplete fallen dragon skin, I guess he's the son of a wealthy family in the Dragon Palace, who was transformed into a loach as punishment. Now his sentence should be over and he's returned to his original noble status."
As Taoist Jiuwu spoke, he took out an ancient book on winemaking and consulted ancient records to see if the half-fallen dragon, half-floating dragon creature could be used to make wine.
When Auntie Green Snake heard this, the minor injuries on her body no longer hurt, and she felt relaxed both physically and mentally. She walked over and kicked Fallen Dragon's body, venting her anger and saying:
"It seems his good days haven't even begun yet, and he's already ended up like this! I heard that the water tribe is the most arrogant, despising all other tribes and respecting only the dragon tribe.
So, is this guy completely dead?"
Bai Sujin responded:
"No, he should wake up in a while. He has no ability to flutter for the time being. His soul has been shattered by us and thrown into Wu Ji's blood, slowly nourishing his soul cave."
This is the strength of the dragon. It can be repeatedly "reborn" as a loach without affecting its origin. After realizing its own life experience, its past experiences can be transformed into cultivation.
The seemingly gray layer of fallen dragon skin is actually the nutrients he is waiting to absorb.
Perhaps this is a unique way of practice among the dragons in the Dragon Palace. Those naughty descendants are directly beaten into loaches. Anyway, they have no memory during the "reincarnation" period and do not feel any pain.
When you wake up one day, it will be like waking up from a deep sleep. You will have hundreds of years of cultivation waiting for you to slowly digest, and you don’t even need to think during this period.
Taoist Jiuwu noticed that the fallen dragon's vitality had recovered somewhat, its body had escaped the state of suspended animation, and its heart was beating again. She reminded him:
"This thing is about to wake up. Do you really want to kill it? If it does, it will attract the revenge of the Tiannu River water tribe, which will be quite troublesome. It will stir up trouble and cause floods."
...Senior Jiujiu, when you just sent the message, didn’t you say that you wanted to eat some snacks?
Just as Chu Wuji was about to complain, the Fallen Dragon's beard moved, and he opened his slightly dim and turbid golden dragon eyes. After a moment of daze, the Fallen Dragon finally reacted to what had happened before.
He didn't have the mind to question why there were two beings in Chu Wuji's soul cave. Du Long's pupils moved, and he memorized the faces of these people firmly.
"Oh, you're awake? That's pretty impressive. Even though your soul's origin was severely damaged, you can still regain consciousness." Chu Wuji gave him a thumbs up.
The fallen dragon's mouth opened and closed like a fish, and there was a strong hatred in its weak voice:
"Well! You immortal sects on earth... How dare you murder my great Dragon Clan Prince! Wherever the rivers flow, there will be no peace in your habitat!"
Taoist Jiuwu glanced at the cooking wine and spices in his hand, quickly hid his tender hands behind his back, and said in a feigned innocence:
"Don't talk nonsense. We, the immortal cultivators, didn't hurt you. We simply passed by and didn't help you. What does it have to do with us?"
Chu Wuji was also amused and said:
"Are you dropping your righteous monk act now? You've come up with all these high-sounding excuses to exorcise demons and attract Buddhas, but in the end, you're only interested in the people's profits."
In the eyes of the water dragons, the places along the rivers are their intangible property. They are the living conditions that rivers and streams provide for the creatures on earth. However, they are usually too lazy to care about things on earth. After all, the water is already rich enough, and the things on the earth are not worth their attention.
