The poison inside the bronze cauldron boiled and even splashed out.
Bystanders quickly stepped back.
At this moment.
A dark shadow suddenly flew out of the cauldron!
Because it was the last to fall, it landed on its companion, allowing it to use its companion's body as a springboard and escape by sheer luck!
It was also covered in flames and venom!
Its eyes were bloodshot, and like a bolt of lightning, it suddenly rushed towards the white-clad girl who was not far from the bronze cauldron!
The black dragon's body was like a bomb, exploding as it flew!
And this...
It happened in an instant!
The girl in white was stunned, standing rooted to the spot, unable to move.
The North Dragon King beside her narrowed his eyes and hurriedly thrust out a palm, the energy palm slamming into the black snake and shattering it to pieces.
However!
A second black snake flew out from the bronze cauldron!
It also rushed towards the girl in white!
The North Dragon King immediately rushed over. " Long'er, be careful!!"
At this moment!
A towering Sword Qi swept across the sky, incinerating the black serpent in a single strike!
Whoosh!
The fragments of the black snake fell at the feet of the girl in white.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, looking in confusion towards the source of the Sword Qi. At the end of her gaze was a man in a green robe!
After slaying the black serpent, he arrived at the altar, then calmly approached the bronze cauldron, reached into it, and golden flames erupted, instantly vaporizing the black serpent.
At this moment, the man in the green robe stepped forward, smiling elegantly, "The potential danger inside the bronze cauldron has also been resolved by me, so you all need not worry."
The girl in white nodded gracefully and said politely, "Thank you, uncle!"
uncle...
Xie Feng's lips twitched. Although it was the absolute truth, as a cultivator, he usually looked younger than his actual age. Had he now become so consistent with his appearance?
Seeing that the crisis was over, the North Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief.
He approached Xie Feng and said with a smile, "Thank you so much for your timely intervention, young friend, which saved my daughter from harm!"
Xie Feng said, "I have always enjoyed helping others, so please don't be so polite."
The North Dragon King asked, "May I ask your name, young friend?"
Xie Feng said, " Xie Feng."
The North Dragon King nodded slightly, composed himself, and asked with a hint of doubt, "There is one thing, however. I sense that young friend Xie does not seem to be from the Divine Dragon Plains. May I ask where you come from?"
Xie Feng looked at him, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "I come from an unknown place, a wanderer traversing the universe."
He wasn't sure if the North Dragon King before him was the Divine Dragon Clan who had disappeared years ago, and without full preparation, he decided not to take the risk.
"This is Princess Zilong, my beloved daughter," the North Dragon King introduced the girl in white beside him.
Princess Zilong nodded politely to Xie Feng. She had delicate features and a slender, graceful appearance, but not in a sickly way. Instead, she possessed a refined Ruyan charm.
Xie Feng looked at it and felt a little strange.
This princess has absolutely no cultivation!
No wonder when those black dragon assassins rushed at her, she reacted like an ordinary person who was stunned by fear.
At this moment, an elder spoke up and asked, "Dragon King, although this young master saved the princess, he Non-Self Divine Dragon Plains, yet he trespassed into the North Dragon Valley. Logically speaking..."
The North Dragon King roared, "Young friend Xie saved the princess's life, what else is there to pursue? Elder, how can you be so confused? You have offended young friend Xie and should apologize!"
The elder realized his words were inappropriate, so he apologized to Xie Feng and left dejectedly.
After executing the assassin, Xie Feng accepted an invitation from the North Dragon King to travel to the royal city together.
The royal city is equally magnificent.
But now, Dusk falls, the streets and alleys of the city are deserted.
Even at mealtimes, there was no sign of cooking fires.
Xie Feng found it very strange and couldn't help but ask Princess Zilong beside him, "Princess, why is the royal city so deserted? It should be very prosperous, according to regulations."
Princess Zilong looked around and whispered, "They have to work. They start at 3-5 AM and return at 9-11 PM."
Upon hearing this, Xie Feng gasped, thinking to himself that this was far more ruthless than the 996 work schedule in China. Working from dawn till dusk, what important matter were they planning?
They arrived at the royal city, and the North Dragon King sent his chief guard to escort Xie Feng to his guest room.
"Young Master Xie, this is a fine courtyard in the heart of the capital, usually used to entertain important figures."
"The Dragon King is so thoughtful!"
"Our Dragon King is generous to his people, which is why his subjects support him!"
The head guard was a chatterbox; he spoke enthusiastically, and soon they arrived at a magnificent mansion, which was the best guest room.
At that moment, a person was standing outside the mansion.
He was wrapped in a black, dirty felt blanket, his body was hunched over, and his long hair and beard hung down, his hair and beard were also filthy.
The old man stood stiffly at the doorway, like a black eagle with its wings folded, looking eerie.
He raised his cloudy old eyes and stared at Xie Feng without saying a word.
Xie Feng frowned.
He then turned his gaze to the head of the guards.
The head guard waved him away.
"Sir, who was that old man just now?" Xie Feng, somewhat curious.
"A poor homeless man! I don't know how he ended up here. I'll take good care of him later!"
The head guard smiled.
Xie Feng's lips twitched, a half-smile playing on his lips.
The two entered the mansion, which was spacious and clean, with covered bridges and a back garden. Living here would be very enjoyable.
Xie Feng nodded. "Great place!"
The head guard bowed and said, "I have completed my mission. Farewell!"
Xie Feng said, "Take care!"
The head guard respectfully withdrew.
He carefully closed the door, his previously respectful smile instantly turning cold and sinister as he turned away!
He gripped the long sword at his waist and strode off in a certain direction!
He looked like he was about to kill someone!
At the bend, an old man draped in a tattered felt blanket squatted in the corner of the wall, his eyes closed, his head resting on the city wall, basking in the sun contentedly.
The head guard strode over, his fingers touching a spatial ring. He took out a pair of shackles from the ring and, without a word, snapped them shut on the old man's hands!
"Who let you out?! You old bastard, do you want to die?!" He grabbed the old man and cursed angrily.
The old man stared at him silently, numb and lifeless.
Just then, two soldiers came running from a distance, shouting in a panic, "Captain! What... what did this guy do here! We've been looking for him ever since we discovered he was missing..."
The head guard glared angrily. "Who the hell let him out?!"
The soldier said, "Yes, it's Princess Zilong... The princess said to let him come out for a walk and get some fresh air..."
The head guard dared not speak to the princess, so he could only snort coldly and glare at the old man, "Send this old fellow back to the Blood Dragon Tower! Next time, keep a closer eye on him! This is a distinguished guest who saved the princess's life; don't let him sully Young Master Xie's eyes!"
The soldier quickly replied, "Understood!"
The head guard led them away, grumbling and cursing.
After they left, Xie Feng slowly opened the gate of his mansion. He looked at the indistinct figures of the group in the distance, an expression of interest on his face.
" Blood Dragon Tower? What kind of place is that...?"
