Yellow Dragon Sect, Yun Qingshui!

Yun Qingshui was the disciple of a grand elder of the Yellow Dragon Sect. Her talent for cultivation was exceptional, and her beauty had made her extremely famous.

Yun Qingshui was also exceptionally gifted in formations. Despite her young age, she had attained an extremely high level of mastery, and the Yellow Dragon Sect's experts cherished her dearly for it.

This time, she had sneaked out of her sect to train in the Myriad Dragons' Ruins. She had chanced upon the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Cave and discovered that the formations here were unfathomably profound, immediately stirring her eagerness to try her hand at them.

When she reached the deepest part, Yun Qingshui realized that a great opportunity might lie here.

So even after sensing danger, she insisted on braving the formation.

A newborn calf feared no tiger!

One careless mistake, and she was bound.

If not for the defensive treasure her master had given her, she would probably have died long ago.

But a month had passed, and Yun Qingshui was growing increasingly desperate. She had sneaked out this time and even cut off contact with her sect to avoid being dragged back, so no one knew she was in the Myriad Dragons' Ruins.

Just when Yun Qingshui thought she was beyond saving, Li Daochen arrived.

"Hey, hey, brother, look over here! I'm a disciple of the Yellow Dragon Sect. Save me, and I, Yun Qingshui, will surely reward you handsomely someday!" Yun Qingshui shouted. She had a somewhat overfamiliar manner.

Li Daochen paused.

The Yellow Dragon Sect, Yun Qingshui!

That was right!

Sects dotted Mystic Dragon Province, as numerous as fish crossing a river.

They were divided by strength into Lower Spirit Sects, Upper Spirit Sects, Lower Profound Sects, Upper Profound Sects, Saint Sects, and Dao Sects!

Li Daochen's Battle Sect was a Lower Spirit Sect, the lowest rank, while the Yellow Dragon Sect was a Lower Profound Sect!

In the surrounding area, it was unquestionably a major sect!

As the disciple of a Yellow Dragon Sect grand elder, Yun Qingshui naturally held a very high status as well.

She was one of the reasons Li Daochen had come here!

But Li Daochen remained outwardly calm, showing not the slightest reaction.

Seeing this, Yun Qingshui's heart sank.

I'm such a pretty little beauty, all tied up, and he isn't moved at all. Could he be some cold-blooded, ruthless character? I'm done for, done for...

When Li Daochen came closer, Yun Qingshui's body tensed even more.

Li Daochen was graceful and handsome, hot as hell, but having spent so long as a great devil in his previous life, he naturally carried a fierce and gloomy air.

For a moment, thoughts of being raped and then murdered, forced into prostitution, made into a female slave, and so on all popped into her head, making Yun Qingshui's little head spin.

"Y-you don't have to save me, but could you please not touch me? I'll repay you well..." Yun Qingshui said weakly, like a delicate little white flower.

Li Daochen was stunned, completely thrown off by her words.

When had he ever said he was going to touch her?

Was there something wrong with her head?

Li Daochen glanced at her and was just about to speak.

He's going to have his way with me... Yun Qingshui thought Li Daochen's gaze looked vicious, and she immediately screamed, "All my treasures are in the storage bag at my waist! Take them, take them all..."

Li Daochen: "..."

If he didn't need her later, Li Daochen would have given her a couple of slaps for sure.

Taking a deep breath, Li Daochen said, "I came here only to seek treasure. I won't lay a hand on you. As for saving you, this formation has already been triggered, and there's nothing I can do right now. But once I get the treasure on the altar deeper inside, I might be able to help you escape."

"Really?" Yun Qingshui was somewhat skeptical.

"Believe it or not." Li Daochen spoke irritably and walked ahead.

Only then did Yun Qingshui realize she seemed to have been overthinking things. She breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face. "Oh, you should have said so earlier. Then I wouldn't have misunderstood you."

Li Daochen looked at her as if she were an idiot.

Yun Qingshui remembered that she hadn't seemed to give Li Daochen a chance to speak, and she immediately coughed twice in embarrassment.

Then she changed the subject. "The formations up ahead are all pretty powerful, so be careful. You can listen to me from here on. I may be young, but my mastery of formations is nothing to scoff at. I can definitely help you get the treasure inside!"

"And end up tied up like you?" Li Daochen asked.

Yun Qingshui's little face immediately turned red, and she explained angrily, "That was an accident!"

"Heh." Li Daochen paid her no more attention and walked straight toward the nearest formation.

In his previous life, Li Daochen had not studied formations deeply, but he had lived for a thousand years, after all. Having encountered enough of them, he naturally understood them.

At the very least, Li Daochen's mastery of formations was greater than Yun Qingshui's.

Moreover, all the formations here were connected to the dragon race, and their overall force was upright and masculine. With the extremely compatible Holy Dragon Bone and a Sun Emperor Talisman, breaking through the formations wouldn't be too difficult!

Seeing Li Daochen look down on her like that, Yun Qingshui puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"Turn a deaf ear to a beauty's advice, and trouble awaits you. Just you wait and see how badly you stumble!" Yun Qingshui huffed.

But on second thought, if Li Daochen failed, wouldn't she be unable to escape too? So angry as she was, Yun Qingshui still decided to give Li Daochen some pointers at the crucial moment.

Yun Qingshui had not wasted her month of captivity. She had studied the formations ahead in great depth.

She was already imagining the awe and admiration in Li Daochen's eyes...

But the next moment, Yun Qingshui's eyes went wide.

Li Daochen barged into the formation with extreme force. In Yun Qingshui's eyes, he was practically courting death.

But not only was Li Daochen unharmed, he was also breaking the formation at an utterly unbelievable speed.

Yun Qingshui had never seen anyone break a formation like this, and ordinary formation masters couldn't do it either!

Most importantly, he had succeeded!

Is this guy a formation master?

But he looks about the same age as me!

Yun Qingshui's little mouth hung wide open. She was utterly shocked.

Up ahead.

Li Daochen's eyes were sharp as the Sun Emperor Talisman circulated rapidly within him. The light radiating from his body made him look like a small sun.

He had seen these formations after they were destroyed. With his mastery of formations, he could pinpoint their flaws and then break them directly with brute force!

His movements flowed like water and were smooth as silk!

In less than half a day, Li Daochen had approached the altar. Then, as Yun Qingshui watched in dumbfounded silence, he plunged straight in.

"My heavens, this guy is so handsome..." she murmured to herself.

Meanwhile.

The instant Li Daochen stepped onto the altar, he heard a high, majestic dragon cry ring out.

Li Daochen looked up and saw a fire dragon thirty thousand meters long hovering in the air, looking down at him.

"How dare you trespass in our dragon race's forbidden ground! Your crime is punishable by death!" the fire dragon growled, its voice deafening.

Li Daochen was overawed and instinctively wanted to retreat.

But in the next instant.

Li Daochen's gaze sharpened.

No, this is fake!

If it were real, Yang Chen could never have obtained the emperor beast cub in his previous life.

Then.

Roar...

Li Daochen's will surged, and a defiant dragon roar erupted from within him as well. A giant golden dragon then materialized behind him, confronting the fire dragon from a distance.

At that very instant, the fire dragon before him cracked like a bronze mirror. The scene before his eyes grew illusory, then shattered completely.

Li Daochen blinked and found that he was still standing on the altar.

The altar was empty except for a stone pillar standing at its very center. A small gold-and-red dragon the size of a human head lay atop it.

Li Daochen's breathing quickened.

That was undoubtedly the emperor beast cub!
