The ghost girl stood her ground confidently, showing no fear of the three evil shadows in front of her.
Instead, the three evil shadows seemed less sure of themselves.
They suspiciously stared at the ghost girl before finally saying.
“Send her to the Dragon God, and we’ll know.”
“Let the Dragon God decide her fate!”
These three evil creatures were clearly under the command of the Yushui River Dragon Palace.
Shen Miao was neither surprised nor nervous, and thus confidently followed the three evil creatures as they left.
Along the way, she chattered incessantly, asking a bunch of questions.
“Why did you seal off the Yin Mountain for no reason? Why stop the disaster victims from heading northward?”
“And also, the thing lurking around me in the mountains earlier, that was your subordinate, wasn’t it?”
Shen Miao talked a lot, but unfortunately, the three evil creatures only sneered coldly and completely ignored her.
Feeling out of place, Shen Miao was escorted by the evil creatures to a river quite quickly.
They entered the river and swiftly passed underwater along the flow of the water current.
An hour later, a magnificent, splendid Dragon Palace appeared within the water flow.
But the Dragon Palace seemed somewhat menacing at the moment.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside the palace scanned back and forth with fierce eyes, while a persistent aura of blood-tinged evil Qi lingered above the Dragon Palace.
The three evil creatures escorted the ghost girl to the Dragon Palace’s exterior. After a troublesome reporting process, the ghost girl was invited inside by a snail girl.
“The Dragon God is busy, and will see you shortly…”
Shen Miao waited in the side hall for more than two hours, feeling imprisoned yet unable to leave, as two water snake women with hostile gazes guarded the door, making her feel in danger.
After waiting for a full two and a half hours, Shen Miao was finally summoned for an audience.
The snail girl reappeared and took Shen Miao into a main hall where an aura of blood lingered.
Shen Miao finally met the legendary Dragon God.
Contrary to the legends, this Dragon God in front of her looked exhausted, with a swirling aura of unyielding evil Qi around her, in poor condition.
Upon seeing the ghost girl Shen Miao, the Dragon Girl sighed and said, “Please, have a seat.”
Sitting cross-legged in the water flow at the center of the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Girl absorbed the water current’s power, constantly nourishing and healing the wounds on her body.
She seemed unsurprised by the ghost girl’s presence.
“You’re the Shen Miao from the Blood Lotus Sect, aren’t you?” the Dragon Girl said softly. “I heard you’ve crossed from the Misty Sea, migrating your whole sect to the Tianyuan Continent and now fighting the Evil God in the south, meritorious beyond measure…”
The Dragon Girl immediately revealed her whereabouts, leaving Shen Miao surprised and admiring.
“Dragon God, you actually know about us?”
She thought the Northern Land was closed off and isolated, and the Dragon God here knew nothing of the south.
Yet, the Dragon Girl shook her head and said, “I once sent some followers southward, spreading amulets and healing, so I’ve heard some of the changes in the south.”
“Did you come north this time to ask for my help?”
The Dragon Girl shook her head and said, “Unfortunately, you can see my current situation. The Northern Land is in chaos, and I’m struggling to quell the disturbances, so I can’t spare the time to go south to assist.”
“These anomalies in the Northern Land may not be the Evil God, but when they cause trouble, they’re almost as bad.”
“Now with the chaos begun, some unruly ones among them oppose me. I must suppress all these rebellious anomalies before I can open the borders and let the southern disaster victims in.”
The Dragon Girl assumed the ghost girl came north to persuade her to open the border.
Shen Miao awkwardly smiled and said, “The Dragon God misunderstood. In fact, I came this time to inform you of something important…”
Saying this, Shen Miao took out the thick letters from the Qiankun Ring and handed them over.
Although she indeed came north seeking aid this time.
But with the Dragon God’s situation so dire, she felt too embarrassed to bring up the matter of opening the border.
Therefore, she could only mention another matter.
“My brother-in-law is soon arriving at the Tianyuan Continent, and he might appear in the counties of the Northern Land at that time…”
Shen Miao cautiously conveyed this message while subtly observing the Dragon God’s reaction.
From what she’d heard, the Dragon God was enlightened by her brother-in-law, and the two had an extraordinary relationship.
Shen Miao was curious to know whether the Dragon God had fallen for her brother-in-law as well.
But unfortunately, Shen Miao’s guess was off the mark.
Upon receiving and carefully reading the thick letters, the Dragon Girl remained indifferent, her gaze icy.
Regarding Li Muyang’s personal letter, the Dragon Girl seemed barely affected, lacking any excitement, joy, or happiness that Shen Miao had expected…
After reading it once, the Dragon Girl folded the letter and nodded calmly.
“I see, the Immortal is coming.”
The Dragon Girl said calmly, “I will send someone to wait at the Bottomless Abyss. Once the Immortal manifests, I’ll move to respond immediately.”
The Dragon Girl’s indifferent reaction left Shen Miao wide-eyed, feeling a sense of disappointed expectations.
This Dragon God… seems to have no special feelings for her brother-in-law.
Tsk… although my sister now has one less competitor, I have one less piece of excitement to watch.
Shen Miao felt a bit disappointed.
…
……
In the Ancient Resentment Well, Li Muyang opened his eyes.
Let out a long breath.
“Finally reached full level on everything!”
Li Muyang’s gaze showed slight excitement.
At this moment, he was just three hundred miles from the capital of Great Zhou.
In the upcoming journey, he intentionally headed closer to the Great Zhou capital.
This way, he could both train and travel along the way.
Finally, before reaching the destination, his training was completed.
Looking at the fully leveled character cards in his warehouse, Li Muyang no longer hesitated. Seeing the setting sun about to fall, he jumped onto the carriage, wielding the Seven Treasure Glazed Staff, and set off towards the Great Zhou capital.
“Deng Bo, Ding Liang, you wait for me in the nearest town!”
After giving simple instructions, Li Muyang waved the Seven Treasure Glazed Staff to strengthen the horses pulling the carriage.
The nag grew wings once more, pulling the carriage towards the Great Zhou capital.
Just as night fell, the carriage, carrying Li Muyang, flew into the plain where monks wandered.
At nightfall, the false deity in the Imperial Palace was at its weakest.
Because the monks under the false deity had to maintain the formation and resist the Evil Gods in the wilderness, and couldn’t help the false deity in battle.
This was also Li Muyang’s only opportunity for challenge.
This time, he openly rode the flying carriage, boldly barging into the Imperial City.
“Otherworldly Demon God! I’m here to slay you!”
Li Muyang shouted loudly, directly alarming the false deity in the Imperial Palace.
Dazzling Buddha light soared into the sky, as the false deity, possessing the golden body of the Great Bright Buddha, appeared beneath the night sky, looking at Li Muyang in surprise.
“Jiang Xiaoyu? You dare to return?”
The false deity’s surprised expression made it seem as if it had seen a ghost.
Unable to understand how Jiang Xiaoyu, who barely escaped, could have the courage to return and throw himself into the net.
