When Ye Wen saw the lightning strike, he didn't have time to dodge. He thought he could only take the hit. But he never expected a white light barrier to appear on his body, helping him block the lightning attack.
The Azure Dragon, who was in a furious rage, also noticed this situation and finally calmed down.
In this spirit-deprived land, he relied on his powerful body and had stored a lot of spiritual energy. Additionally, many Spirit Stones helped him recover his spiritual power. Spirit Stones are extremely rare treasures, being crystals composed of pure spiritual energy.
The Azure Dragon rarely had such Spirit Stones, which is why he was usually in a deep slumber. As time slowly passed and his spiritual power was continuously consumed, his body also shrunk.
In the beginning, he was a colossal dragon hundreds of feet long. But now, he had shrunk significantly, no longer than eighty feet. If Ye Wen's words hadn't provoked him today, he wouldn't have gone into a rampage and attacked indiscriminately. Normally, he wouldn't even bother to open his eyes, fearing he would waste spiritual energy.
Seeing the white radiance, resembling chains, rising from Ye Wen's body, the Azure Dragon roared excitedly.
"Human boy, who exactly are you? Why are you protected by the Order Law within the Demon Suppressing Tower? Do you have a token from old ghost Xingyu? Or are you that old ghost's direct descendant?"
The massive dragon head lowered again, staring intently at Ye Wen. How could Ye Wen possibly know what was happening?
The Azure Dragon unleashed another magical attack directly at Ye Wen's head. This attack nearly scared Ye Wen to death, as he saw lightning as thick as an arm strike his head.
However, the white light managed to block the Azure Dragon's magical attack just in time.
Ye Wen didn't dare to stay there any longer and quickly ran out, slamming the door shut.
He had no idea how much energy was contained in the lightning that attacked him. If it had struck him directly without the white light, the result would have been annihilation.
Ye Wen had no clue about the Azure Dragon's cultivation realm, nor did he understand the terror of higher realms. But just thinking that this was an ancient dragon that had lived for ten thousand years, its strength must be incredibly terrifying.
Old geezer Mo Chengkong, at the peak of Xiantian Sixth Rank, had only lived for a few hundred years and looked decrepit, as if he were about to die. This Azure Dragon, then, must be at least two or three ranks higher. This meant the Azure Dragon was at least Eighth or Ninth Rank.
So this was the power of the Xiantian high ranks. He had never realized it before. When he first learned about the Xiantian ranks, he had been dismissive, thinking Xiantian was just average.
He never knew they were this powerful. Having lived for ten thousand years in a spirit-deprived land, even its casual attacks would be unbearable for someone at Xiantian Sixth Rank. He wondered how powerful he would be after reaching Seventh Rank.
The Azure Dragon was roaring loudly inside. The energy attacks he unleashed made the entire space tremble. It was only then that Ye Wen felt something strange on his chest.
It turned out to be a relic left by Old Uncle Zong, an unknown token that emitted a faint, ethereal glow, similar to the white light from the chains inside. Was this token what protected him just now?
Ye Wen quickly took it out and examined it closely. As he looked, he discovered that words had suddenly appeared on the previously dark and featureless token. The front had a large character "Town," and the back had a large character "Demon."
"Demon Suppressing?"
A Demon Suppressing Token? What was its purpose? Examining it further, below the character "Yao" on the back, were two more characters – "Sect Art" (宗术), but they were very dim, almost unnoticeable unless one looked closely.
Was this truly Old Uncle Zong's Demon Suppressing Token? What was its use? Could he command Demon Suppressing City with this? If so, he'd likely be beaten to death.
Or could it be used to open the Demon Suppressing Tower? If it could open the Demon Suppressing Tower, wouldn't that mean he could enter and exit the Demon Suppressing Tower freely?
"Kid, come in, let's talk. I promise I won't attack you anymore."
At this moment, the Azure Dragon anxiously shouted from inside. Seeing that the Order Law here protected him, this kid might be able to change these Order Laws, giving the old dragon a chance to get out. Thus, he completely calmed down and spoke to Ye Wen outside.
"I can give you some treasures in exchange for my freedom."
But Ye Wen didn't dare to go back in now. The lightning that attacked him earlier was as thick as an arm. It had truly terrified Ye Wen. This dragon had been imprisoned for too long; its mind had changed, becoming somewhat terrifying and unreasonable.
The Azure Dragon looked outside, and seeing Ye Wen's lack of reaction, he became even more anxious. This might be his only chance to escape in this lifetime. So he continued to shout.
"Human kid, I'll give you all my treasures. You can pick any three, in exchange for letting me leave. How about it?"
