Dragon Clan Yinglong, Unfathomable

Upon hearing the words of the Great River Water Lord, Houtu frowned imperceptibly. How did the other party know that Fellow Daoist Hongyun was at Purple Jade Mountain before?

Has Purple Jade Mountain become this famous now?

The Water Lord rode the waves, followed by several burly, armored men with blue faces and fangs, their exposed skin revealing small scales.

Judging from their appearance, it is clear at a glance that they are aquatic creatures.

The Great River Water Lord's cultivation is not weak. If he really leads his troops to attack their tribe, the entire tribe will probably be doomed.

Of course, if you want to completely wipe out their entire tribe, the other side should at least be prepared to lose a few teeth; it will definitely be a lose-lose situation.

"I am Gengchen, a Dragon Clan, Yinglong, temporarily holding the position of Great River Water Lord, leading all the aquatic creatures of the Great River. My relationship with my brother Torch Dragon, is extremely close..."

The young man's expression was ambiguous, as if he were speaking with a hidden meaning, leaving Houtu unsure how to respond appropriately.

However, Houtu breathed a sigh of Houtu when Yinglong Gengchen left his aquatic subordinates in the river and only took a few men into the tribe, realizing that he probably wasn't there to cause trouble. So, when he mentioned Torch Dragon earlier, he was probably telling her that he already knew about his brother Torch Dragon's other identity.

Thinking of this, Houtu became somewhat puzzled: Does Yinglong hold such a high position within the Dragon Clan? How could he possibly know about her second brother's other identity?

Houtu was well aware of Torch Dragon's prestigious status in the Dragon Clan's Royal Court, but probably very few dragons knew about Torch Dragon's other identity.

Yinglong did not mention Torch Dragon again, but said, "I did not expect Houtu Daoist Houtu's tribe to be so well-organized. That Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves is indeed a genius!"

Houtu glanced at him curiously, her eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "It seems Fellow Gengchen has investigated this matter quite thoroughly!"

Yinglong smiled and said, "Before doing anything, you always have to do the preparatory work first."

Houtu didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Besides paying a visit to Fellow Daoist Hongyun, what other purpose does this visit serve?"

Yinglong smiled and shook his head, looked around, and then said, "Houtu Daoist Houtu, rest assured, I simply want to take a walk and see the sights, to sort out my relationship with the creatures living on both sides of this Great River!"

Upon Houtu, Houtu frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "Sorting out relationships? Probably preparing for a new round of purges!"

"Then, have you investigated whether you have any information regarding your relationship with Qingqiu?"

Houtu knew that there was a Fox Clan from Qingqiu in the Eastern Sea Dragon Court, and hoped to use this connection to inform Yinglong not to make any moves against Purple Jade Mountain.

Yinglong laughed, "This is no secret, is it? I even know that there are quite a few powerful rogue cultivators who are on good terms with this Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves. Fellow Daoist Hongyun and Fellow Zhen Yuanzi are two of them, as are Houtu Daoist Houtu and her brothers."

"So?" Houtu asked again.

Yinglong smiled and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just hope that Houtu Daoist Houtu can introduce me to this prodigy. After all, there are not many people who can be praised by my brother Torch Dragon!"

Houtu frowned and said, "Presumably, the Water Lord can also discern this person's character from Fellow Daoist Bu Chu's Daoist title. He has no intention of leaving the mountain. The reason he was willing to offer advice to our tribe in the first place was because he owed us a favor and had to repay it."

Yinglong nodded and said, "Houtu Daoist Houtu, rest assured, I am aware that he once refused the invitation from the Qilin Royal Court. I do not like dragons who force others to do things against their will."

The two walked ahead, their conversation remaining hushed, leading others to assume they were having a pleasant chat, as Yinglong's smile never faded.

Wu Chu never expected that his first encounter with the legendary Yinglong would be through this guy visiting him, which he found somewhat unbelievable.

Yinglong!

Is it the Yinglong that helped the Yellow Emperor and Yu the Great in the future?

He was once the Great River Water Lord?!

Wu Chu was unsure, as there seemed to be no such record in the mythology of the other world. He only knew that Yu the Great had come out to help when he was controlling the floods.

Who knows if Yinglong ever served as the Yellow River Water Lord during this era of Three Clans?

Looking at the young man with a golden crown, a yellow robe, a tall and slender figure, and a heroic face, who was surveying the surrounding people, Wu Chu had to admit that this was indeed a very dignified dragon. Even when he was spying, he gave people the feeling that he was looking at things openly and honestly.

Yinglong, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, this Purple Jade Mountain is indeed different from most other living beings' Daoist Temple. It's lively and vibrant, giving people an indescribable vitality."

"Fellow Daoist Gengchen, you flatter me. It's just an ordinary Daoist Temple."

Yinglong nodded, and led several demon guards, along with Wu Chu and Houtu, to the Summit of the Sacred Tree. Looking up at the Main Hall, dappled with sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves despite the canopy's shade, Yinglong suddenly said, "I have heard that my clan's dragons, Ao Yuan Ao Xiao, once visited this place. Is this true?"

Wu Chu was taken aback for a moment before realizing who the two people were. He then smiled and said, "I Taiqing if Ao Xiao has been here before. This place was once the Daoist Temple of my friend, Purple Jade Daoist. But Ao Yuan has indeed been here. Fellow Daoist Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi were also present at the time."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know where Ao Yuan went afterward?"

Wu Chu nodded and said, "I've heard a little about him. I heard that he went to Mount Buzhou and even met with that Fellow Daoist Tianmu, but I haven't heard any news about him since."

Yinglong glanced at Wu Chu and said, "He has not returned to the Dragon Court."

"Perhaps he's in seclusion somewhere, cultivating his spiritual practice!"

Wu Chu could only answer this way. He really didn't know where Ao Yuan had gone. He was most likely killed, since Mount Buzhou was the territory of the Qilin Clan.

Furthermore, the Demon Ancestor had also visited Mount Buzhou and corrupted the Tianmu Daoist. It is also possible that the Demon Ancestor had met Ao Yuan corrupted him as well.

As Wu Chu entered the Main Hall and took their seats, with Houtu accompanying Houtu, Wu Chu felt relatively unconcerned, and his expression was relaxed.

Although Yinglong was strong, killing him in front of Houtu was not an easy task.

Even though Yinglong's aquatic guards were powerful, he also had Yibao secretly protecting him, and this place was his Daoist Temple. With this Mountain Protection Array, he could instantly appear hundreds of thousands of miles away with just a thought.

The reason I was afraid of the Demon Ancestor Clone and thought about wandering was because I didn't have any strong allies. Having only Yibao wasn't enough to guarantee my safety.

Although Yinglong seemed somewhat unfathomable to him, Wu Chu figured he wasn't there to cause trouble, so he first treated him to good wine, food, songs, and dances.

And so, these Dragon Clan, who were born to enjoy life, succumbed to temptation.
