Hun Zhou Government Office

This sudden, terrifying earthquake wasn't a natural phenomenon; it originated from an extremely powerful transcendent force!

And now, this transcendent force was charging directly towards Jing Qian at a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour!

Separated by over ten li, he felt the terrifying pressure, vast as an abyss and deep as the sea!

It was a purple dragon-serpent spanning the horizon, its body so massive it was heart-stopping. Looking at it, it seemed to have no end.

Its physical body's diameter exceeded three hundred zhang, and its serpent head alone was twice as wide as its body.

Its scales shimmered with a cold light, containing the weight of mountains. As it moved, the scales rubbed together with a chilling sound, like ancient war drums echoing in the air.

The dragon-serpent's eyes were like two deep, cold pools, radiating a chilling light that seemed capable of seeing through all falsehoods in the world.

Its breath turned into a gale, sweeping away everything around it. Dust flew, and the world was in chaos.

When it moved, the earth trembled. The terrifying earthquake Jing Qian felt was born from this.

As this terrifying dragon-serpent charged towards him, Jing Qian felt the entire world freeze at that moment.

Immense fear made him tremble all over, yet he didn't dodge!

Even though his consciousness was almost collapsing under the dragon-serpent's pressure.

But he actually stood there, enduring it, straightening his body and his spine!

An extremely standard Subduing Dragon Stance was instinctively struck by him with a surge of soaring spirit.

It was as if he truly intended to capture this dragon-serpent!

The immense wind pressure almost blew him to the ground.

But he didn't retreat a single step, until this terrifying dragon-serpent brushed past him, body to body.

Only then did he roughly see that this dragon-serpent was over ten li long!

It turned out that the dry riverbed Jing Qian had once thought it was, was merely the Serpent Path left by this dragon-serpent as it swam past!

And the stone platform where the Dragon Drinking Plate was located avoided the Serpent Path, causing the dragon-serpent to just brush past Jing Qian.

The dragon-serpent traveled along the Serpent Path until it passed the Hun Zhou Sea Market and plunged into the sinkhole.

It continued to travel, and then arrived at the cave dock.

Afterward, the dragon-serpent opened its massive mouth and began to swallow the Muddy River.

Immeasurable seawater poured into the giant serpent's body along this Muddy River.

The so-called "Dragon Drinking" was actually literal!

The dragon-serpent drank the river for a full hour, drinking until the water level of the barrier lake dropped by half.

The large and small boats in the lake also suffered terribly. The drop in water level caused many boats to be forced aground, or even tilt precariously.

Only less than a fifth of the boats had strange magical light rising from them, protecting themselves completely.

These were ranked treasure ships.

However, the boats in the lake that dodged quickly weren't the most unlucky.

Those who were currently on the Muddy River, sailing towards the dock from outside the island, were the most deserving of sympathy!

There were a total of three ships, with nowhere to escape, they could only be swallowed by the Dragon Serpent in despair.

Of the entire fleet, only one great monk who had cultivated the White Elephant Dharma Idol saw that the situation was bad and disembarked early to flee.

But when he personally witnessed his own fleet being swallowed by the giant serpent, he was completely broken.

Such a huge loss, even a Dragon Elephant cultivator, couldn't bear the responsibility!

After the Dragon Serpent had drunk enough of the Muddy River water, it turned around and returned the way it came.

Only a mess was left behind, which gradually returned to normal under the silent irrigation of the Muddy River water.

Everyone who was still alive let out a huge sigh of relief!

Every "Dragon Drinking" was an unavoidable life-and-death test for everyone active on the underground dock!

The so-called "Dragon Drinking" loss was mainly to compensate for the damage caused by the Dragon Serpent's activity.

Looking at the Dragon Serpent again, it moved leisurely until it stopped in front of the Dragon Drinking Plate, opening its massive mouth, intending to swallow the world.

And in front of it, there was a small masked figure, who didn't flinch at all!

Jing Qian strongly resisted the urge to hide in Sumeru, relying entirely on his personal will to resist the Dragon Serpent's pressure.

The Subduing Dragon Stance under his feet was planted even more firmly!

And as he looked out, within the open mouth of the Dragon Serpent, there was a government office of considerable size.

This place was the core of the Hun Zhou Divine Dynasty, the traveling office of the government!

Three thousand years ago, a Dragon Serpent caused havoc in one area. Fortunately, a divine being descended, captured the dragon and eliminated the disaster, cut the land into an island, built a furnace, and established this sixth-grade Destiny Island. Only then did the later Hun Zhou territory come into being, with its beautiful mountains and seas.

This sixth-grade Purple Eye Dragon Serpent before him was history reflecting reality, the origin of everything in Hun Zhou.

The serpent's mouth opened, revealing the location of the Hun Zhou Government Office. Not long after, a portly cultivator wearing a green official robe leisurely walked out!

He followed the serpent's tongue, walked to a hundred meters away from the stone platform, and with a sudden leap, arrived in front of Jing Qian.

He looked Jing Qian up and down and said:

"Are you that kid from the Jing Family?"

"You're quite bold, not scared away by the Dragon Serpent's aura."

"However, you dared to strike this Dragon Drinking Plate. Do you know that all the damage caused by this Dragon Serpent along the way on the island needs to be borne by the person who struck the plate? This is a fortune worth a thousand gold."

"If you can't produce this money, you'll have to pay with your life!"

The fat man's tone was unfriendly, but Jing Qian was not flustered at all. He replied:

"Please allow me to speak, sir. This junior is from the Jing Clan. My ancestor once served as the commander of the Hun Ling Number."

"According to my family's tradition, my ancestor once reserved an opportunity to strike the Dragon Drinking Plate as a backup for unworthy descendants. This junior dares not deceive you, sir. You can find out with a simple check."

The portly cultivator couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

His cultivation had reached the eighth-grade Dragon Elephant realm. He looked harmless, but once he became serious, his power would naturally emanate.

"Since that's the case, come with me to see the landlord!"

With that, he channeled his Destiny Essence magic power and stomped on the stone platform.

Activated by his magic power, a stone pillar extended from the platform, reaching directly to the dragon serpent's tongue.

The cultivator stepped onto it, and Jing Qian followed closely behind.

As Jing Qian walked, he asked,

"Sir, which landlord are we going to see?"

The cultivator turned back, glanced at him, and continued walking while speaking,

"You don't recognize me? I am Qian Yuan!"

"You are a Navy disciple, so naturally, you will see Landlord Zhu of my Sea House."

Hearing this, Jing Qian stopped speaking and walked with his head down.

This portly cultivator was actually the culprit behind the destruction of the Jing Family.

He truly was a smiling tiger!

He couldn't help but silently channel his Sumeru magic power, ready to escape into the void at any moment.
