Dragon (Part Two)

The Asura Warship streaked through the air at incredible speed, heading towards Nanning Island, where the Black Flood Dragon was located. On Warships, Ying Shuang recounted information about the Black Flood Dragon to Zhuge Xiang and the others, while Ao Xiaoyao occasionally chimed in with her own words. Only then did Zhuge Xiang and the others gain a thorough understanding of the Black Flood Dragon.

It turns out that this Black Flood Dragon was originally a Black Sea Serpent with profound cultivation in the East Sea. By chance, it obtained the corpse of a dragon and, with the help of Dragon Blood and bones, successfully transformed into a half-dragon. It called itself the Black Flood Dragon, and its cultivation level had reached the level of Six-Star Fairy. It is believed that after passing the Heavenly Tribulation and entering the level of Demon Monster, it will definitely be able to completely transform into the Dragon Clan.

The East Sea Dragon Palace is the dwelling place of the Dragon Clan in the East Sea. This Black Flood Dragon went to the East Sea Dragon Palace to ask for the Dragon Palace. Seeing that it also had Dragon Clan blood in its body, the East Sea Dragon Palace took it in and assigned it a guard job.

However, unexpectedly, a few days ago, this Black Flood Dragon stole the Dragon Pearl from the East Sea Dragon Palace and escaped from the Dragon Palace.

When Cultivator reaches an extremely high level of cultivation, their True Essence will transform into a Golden Core. This Golden Core is unique, formed from the condensation of the Cultivator's essence, Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Similarly, the core within Demon Cultivator is called Demon Core or Demon Core, while the substance condensed within the Dragon Clan's body is called Dragon Pearl...

When Dragon Clan dies, the Dragon Palace naturally tries its best to bring the deceased Dragon Clan back to the Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Pearl will be enshrined there. This Black Flood Dragon dared to steal the Dragon Pearl; this was not only a crime but also an act of desecration of the dead, naturally arousing the hatred of the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace's forces have already launched a manhunt, leading to today's events.

"I see. But as a princess of the Great Qin Empire, why would you get involved in this matter?" Upon hearing the news about the Black Flood Dragon, Zhuge Xiang nodded knowingly. Then, he asked Ying Shuang with surprise, remembering that the slender Golden Dragon Ao Xiaoyao had just caught up with him, wanting Ying Shuang to take her with her.

"Don't you know? The Imperial Clan of my Great Qin Empire has a long-standing relationship with the East Sea Dragon Palace. When the country was founded, the East Sea Dragon Palace also helped us, which enabled our Dragon Palace to pacify the Six Nations and unify the world. In the Dragon Palace, I have an even closer relationship with Xiao Yao." Zhuge Xiang's question surprised Ying Shuang.

Not to mention Ying Shuang, even Lu Yuling shook her head, somewhat at a loss for words. Zhuge Xiang always seemed oblivious to these basic questions. It seemed he was completely absorbed in his cultivation. Mo Lingna, on the other hand, was rather angry; clearly, Ying Shuang's attitude towards Zhuge Xiang was unbearable for her.

"I really don't know anything about that," Zhuge Xiang said, shaking his head somewhat awkwardly.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. Back then, there were seven kingdoms. Although the Great Qin Empire was powerful and had the assistance of the Nine Great Sects, how could it possibly conquer the other Six Nations with the strength of a single nation? So, it turns out they also received help from the East Sea Dragon Palace?

"Elder Sister Shuang, don't say that. My father said that the First Qin Emperor was unparalleled in the world, and even without the help of our Dragon Palace, it was only a matter of time before he conquered the Six Nations," Ao Xiaoyao said in an innocent and carefree tone after hearing Ying Shuang's admiration for the Dragon Palace.

Ying Shuang was well aware of the dangers in the East Sea, but she also knew that only through crises could she hone her skills. Therefore, after the Hundred Emperors Tomb, she set sail to gain experience.

Given the relationship between the Great Qin Empire and the East Sea Dragon Palace, Ying Shuang naturally came to pay a visit to the Dragon Palace. Upon hearing about the Black Flood Dragon, Ying Shuang immediately offered to help.

"That Black Flood Dragon has reached the level of Six-Star Fairy. With our strength, it would be unwise to fight it head-on. Fortunately, the Dragon Palace has sent many experts to besiege it. When we join forces, that Black Flood Dragon will have no chance to escape," Ying Shuang said, looking towards Nanning Island from the Asura Warship.

The East Sea Dragon Palace is undoubtedly a powerful force in the vast East Sea. How could the Black Flood Dragon's theft of the Dragon Pearl escape from the East Sea Dragon Palace's ears and eyes? They already knew his whereabouts on Nanning Island. Therefore, a large number of experts from the East Sea Dragon Palace have gathered in the direction of Nanning Island.

Nanning Island, located in the East Sea, is actually just a deserted island, but it is quite large, probably spanning hundreds of miles. Zhuge Xiang naturally didn't know the way in the East Sea, but with Ying Shuang leading the way, they arrived at Nanning Island in just two days.

"Please return, Your Excellency. My East Sea Dragon Palace has matters to attend to here. We hope you won't be caught in the crossfire when battle breaks out," someone greeted them with an arrogant tone as soon as they arrived at Nanning Island.

"Hiss, what a huge crab!" Looking at the person who spoke, Zhuge Xiang sighed inwardly. The person who spoke was actually a giant crab, much larger than Zhuge Xiang's Asura Warship, and its rolling Demonic Qi was truly like a hurricane.

Fortunately, Zhuge Xiang was already very knowledgeable, having even seen the enormous Undying Great Roc that stretched for thousands of miles; otherwise, this giant crab would have greatly astonished Zhuge Xiang.

"General Crab, are you the leader?" Before Zhuge Xiang could answer, a golden shadow flashed by, and the slender Golden Dragon Ao Xiaoyao appeared in front of the giant crab.

"Little Princess?" The sudden appearance of Ao Xiaoyao startled the General Crab, who said urgently, "Nanning Island is dangerous. Little Princess, why are you here? Someone, send a small team to escort the Little Princess back to the Dragon Palace."

"No, I'm not going back! I want to fight the bad guys! I'm not going back!" Ao Xiaoyao said urgently upon hearing General Crab's words, refusing to leave.

"But, little princess, this place..." General Crab's tone was troubled, and he wanted to continue persuading her.

"Alright, General Crab, Xiao Yao has been in the Dragon Palace for so many years, she's probably been there too long. Let her stay, I'll take care of her," Ying Shuang said, stepping forward as General Crab was about to send Ao Xiaoyao back.

Although Ying Shuang herself is the kind of person who is fearless, she is a trustworthy Elder Sister in front of Ao Xiaoyao.

"Miss Shuang..." Upon hearing Ying Shuang's words, General Crab was clearly in a dilemma. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright then, since Miss Shuang says so, let's do as you say."

"Oh?" Zhuge Xiang looked at Ying Shuang with some surprise at the scene before him.

Although she has said that she has a good relationship with the East Sea Dragon Palace, the fact that she can influence the General Crab's decision, especially regarding the safety of the Dragon Palace princess, suggests that her relationship with the East Sea Dragon Palace is not merely "good."

"General Crab, what's the situation on Nanning Island? Why are you besieging it but not attacking?" Ying Shuang asked after changing General Crab's mind.

The East Sea Dragon Palace did indeed send many experts over. Looking around, there were over a hundred Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals and crab generals, all of whom were at the level of Fairy. Such a lineup, yet they only surrounded and did not attack Black Flood Dragon that was only at the level of Six-Star Fairy, which was naturally surprising.

"This Nanning Island is very strange. The Black Flood Dragon is hiding in a Black Water Pool on the island and has never shown itself. I have sent several vanguard teams to scout ahead, but none of them have returned alive." This General Crab has not yet reached the level of Demon Monster and cannot transform into human form. Otherwise, you would definitely see that his brows are tightly furrowed.

"Oh?" Ying Shuang looked surprised. Zhuge Xiang and the others didn't understand the cultivation level and lineup of this vanguard team, but Ying Shuang knew that a Five-Star Fairy leading three Four-Star and ten Three-Star to form a vanguard team was not a weak lineup.

Although the Black Flood Dragon was Six-Star Fairy and was in the Black Water Pool, the Dragon Palace's vanguard was entirely composed of the Aquatic Clan. It was impossible for them to be unable to unleash their full power underwater. Even if one vanguard was no match for the Black Flood Dragon, surely they shouldn't have been completely wiped out? But judging from General Crab's words, several vanguard teams were actually wiped out?

"Could it be? Didn't you use Spell to drain all the water from this Black Water Pool?" After a moment's thought, Ying Shuang asked. Draining the water from the Black Water Pool would allow them to see the bottom, which would be much better.

"That's strange, the strange thing is that no matter how we try to use water Spell, we can't move the water in this Black Water Pool," General Crab, his voice filled with utter confusion.

Born of the Aquatic Clan, stirring up storms is their specialty; they can easily manipulate the seawater in the ocean, yet they cannot even move this small pond.

"This is truly strange," Ying Shuang, her pretty face also filled with astonishment as she gazed at the strange Black Water Pool on Nanning Island.

Black Water Pool is actually quite large, occupying almost one-tenth of the area of Nanning Island, which spans hundreds of miles. It is more like a large lake than a pool. The water in Black Water Pool is completely black, making it impossible to see what lies beneath.

However, the East Sea Dragon Palace is composed entirely of the Aquatic Clan, whose Innate Ability to manipulate water is innate. Yet, they were able to circumvent this Black Water Pool? This is too strange. Even the Master Craftsman Lu Ban, if he were alive, couldn't forge a single table. Is there anything more perplexing than this?

"Let me give it a try," Ao Xiaoyao said.

She is indeed Fairy, and as a princess of the Dragon Palace, she possesses the Dragon Clan's Innate Ability to control water. Although her cultivation level is not high, her water control ability is something that few people present would dare to guarantee is stronger than her.

She flew forward, a vast aura emanating from her tiny body, unleashing her Dragon Clan's Innate Ability to manipulate the water in the Black Water Pool. Yet, the Black Water Pool remained completely still, not even a ripple stirred...

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Even the Dragon Clan's innate ability to control water was useless? This Black Water Pool was too strange!

"Hehehe, this is so much fun! Even though it's all Magma down there, they like to use water Spell to control it."

However, just as everyone was secretly astonished, a playful laugh suddenly rang out. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw the Little Fire Phoenix being held in Ying Shuang. (To be continued...)
