"Ancestor, is there really a true dragon?" Wang Tiedan said, trembling.
"We just saw it with our own eyes. Second Brother was burned to death by the true dragon's karma fire..."
Wang Tiedan recounted what had just happened. Of course, his narration was heavily biased.
The "mysterious senior" was incredibly powerful! He had "true dragons" under his command! The "true dragons" also wielded terrifying "karma fire." As for the fact that there were only two "true dragons," not the "true dragon army" that "Dragon Liu Lin Yuan Ying" had been shrieking about, Wang Tiedan conveniently ignored this "minor detail." And the "minor detail" that the two "true dragons" were in their "juvenile stage" and naturally deficient, thus not possessing strong cultivation, was also overlooked by Wang Tiedan.
Humans are not sages; who can be without fault? It's perfectly reasonable to overlook "minor details" when recounting events, right? Yes, very reasonable! In short, according to Wang Tiedan's account, their hasty retreat was not due to their incompetence, cowardice, or timidity, but because the enemy was too formidable! Yes, that's right, perfectly reasonable!
"Dragon Liu Lin Yuan Ying" chimed in from the side. "Don't forget the acquired spiritual treasures! The mysterious senior also has an endless supply of acquired spiritual treasures. He casually bestowed a hundred acquired spiritual treasures upon the Golden Core cultivators under his command..."
"Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor's" expression turned exceedingly grim. Listen to them, listen! Were they speaking human language? How could there be "true dragons" in this mortal realm? Nowadays, "true dragons" are rarely seen even in the myriad worlds! Furthermore, "acquired spiritual treasures" are not cabbages growing in the ground; are they available in unlimited quantities? Dreaming! All the "acquired spiritual treasures" in this mortal realm combined wouldn't reach a hundred. Where did the excess "acquired spiritual treasures" come from? Cheating, exploiting glitches, farming them? Ridiculous, impossible!
"Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" mentally ranted, completely unaware that he had actually guessed correctly. The "mysterious senior's" "acquired spiritual treasures" were indeed obtained by "cheating" and "exploiting glitches." However, there was a slight discrepancy in quantity. Hao Ren had farmed far more than a hundred "Azure Yuan Immortal Swords," exceeding ten thousand. If "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" knew this fact, he would probably wet himself from fright! But at this moment, instead of fear, "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" was filled with immense rage. Cold light shot from his triangular eyes as he stared icily at Wang Tiedan and the others.
"I don't believe a single word you say! There are no true dragons in this mortal realm, let alone a hundred acquired spiritual treasures..." At this moment, a "Black Eyed Clone Cultivator" stepped forward to report.
"Traces of Xin Xin Ancestor and Fang Que Ancestor have been discovered. They are hiding in the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest ahead..."
What the hell! Wang Tiedan and Wang Maganzi's eyes widened suddenly. Could it be this coincidental! If so, "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" and the others would definitely not let the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" go; they would actively seek it out... This is too much of a coincidence! Or perhaps it's not a coincidence, but fate has long arranged everything! Wang Tiedan and Wang Maganzi exchanged glances, seeing shock and fear in each other's eyes. Could it be that the "mysterious senior" had already calculated everything... The greatest terror in the world is scaring oneself! Now, Wang Tiedan and Wang Maganzi were almost scared to the point of soiling themselves! The mysterious senior, terrifying beyond compare! They trembled with fear.
Just then, "Dragon Liu Lin Yuan Ying's" perfectly timed scream rang out. "It's over, it's over, we're all doomed!" "This isn't a coincidence; it's all an arrangement made by the mysterious senior after deducing heavenly secrets!" "The mysterious senior, terrifying beyond compare!" "This is the horror of the Heavenly Immortal realm, deducing the future, everything under control!" "We poor souls are all pawns in the mysterious senior's hands; he'll toy with us until we die..."
As the "atmosphere group leader," "Dragon Liu Lin Yuan Ying" spared no effort in hyping up the "mysterious senior's" power. Under his hoarse shrieks, morale plummeted! Not only Wang Tiedan, Wang Maganzi, and the others, but even the cultivators under "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor's" command began to murmur amongst themselves. Is that "mysterious senior" really that formidable? Is there truly a trap in the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" ahead? Old Ancestor Huashen "Wang Ergouzi" has already been killed; if we walk right into it, won't we be killed too?
"Why don't we make a long-term plan?" "Yes, yes, since Xin Xin Ancestor and Fang Que Ancestor are already severely injured, it's not a big deal to hunt them down a bit later!" "That makes sense, you're so right. Let's slow down a bit; going too fast can lead to injury. Everyone must remember the painful lesson of Pure Yang True Person."
The cultivators muttered amongst themselves, their central theme being only one: Don't take risks, play it safe! "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" sneered, cold light flashing from his triangular eyes. He said coldly, "I refuse to believe this nonsense! Everyone, heed my command, depart immediately, and follow me to the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest to hunt down Xin Xin Ancestor and Fang Que Ancestor... Oh, and also kill that so-called mysterious senior!"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present showed a look of helplessness. They were a group led by "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor." Since "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" had given the order, they had no choice but to comply! Despite their reluctance, they could only obey the command and follow "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" towards the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Heh, you go ahead, we'll wait here for your triumphant return! Wang Tiedan and Wang Maganzi were gleeful. They intensely disliked the sharp-tongued and sarcastic "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor." It would be best if this guy died at the hands of the "mysterious senior." Hehehe... Perhaps because he was too happy and "dreaming too sweetly," Wang Tiedan couldn't help but let out a laugh. This laughter, at this moment, sounded so "jarring" that it immediately drew the cold, knife-like gaze of "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor."
"Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" looked down at Wang Tiedan from above, fierce light blazing in his triangular eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "From now on, you are under my command!"
This is bad! We're doomed... Wang Tiedan and Wang Maganzi's faces turned pale with alarm. They wanted to say something, but it was too late. "Black Eyed Yi Li Ancestor" did not allow them to refuse and continued, "You will accompany us to the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest. Oh, and given that you are more familiar with the terrain, you will be the vanguards this time!"
Damn it! Going in first means dying fast! We're going to die! Wang Tiedan and Wang Maganzi roared inwardly. "Old Dragon Ghost," you're so inhumane!
