"Look... the Dragon... Dragon King!"
A cultivator shouted in terror. The other cultivators also noticed the anomaly. Where the lake water had just surged and risen, the waves now subsided, revealing the long back of some enormous beast. Scales covered its back, and the fin-spines along its central ridge were sharp. As it swam, it looked no different from a flood dragon.
Bai Yujun curled her lips on the Bamboo Raft.
Others saw that long back and assumed it was some draconic creature. Its swimming posture looked imposing, but compared with a sinuous dragon's movement, it was much stiffer. Calling it a fish wagging its tail would have been more fitting.
Drool trickled from the monkey's mouth as he recalled a certain experience roasting fish.
With the lake under its control, nobody could see what truly lay beneath the water. The many cultivators were far below the two beasts' cultivation realms. Even Zhang Ke and the other four believed they had encountered the legendary Dragon King. In truth, even if it was not a true dragon, they would still call it one. Any aquatic beast that became an immortal yet remained behind—fish, shrimp, turtle, or crab—could be called a Dragon King.
After all, the Dragon Bloodline had not appeared for countless years. Its image, and the meaning it represented, had gradually blurred.
Bai Yujun gently stroked her blade, completely ignoring the enormous head before her. It was merely a little fellow. Her own body was several times larger than its, not to mention that it was only a Carp Demon that had become an immortal.
That was right. The one blowing bubbles, occupying the lake, and tainting the divine office was precisely the Carp Demon.
Bai Yujun held no prejudice against demons and even faintly felt a sense of belonging
