A Whole-Dragon Feast and Scheming Minds

Faced with Zuo Lan's furious state, the various External Scenery spoke up in time to dissuade and appease him from his idea of alarming Daoist Fuyao Zuo Lan.

Afterwards, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at each other, they could all see the sorrow and indignation in each other's eyes.

What's truly disheartening is that even the strongest people in this world, including those in the demonic path, should display some semblance of professional demeanor once they reach the Dharma Aspect level. Yet, this Daoist Fuyao is an absolute exception.

After all, he had been used to getting along well with his juniors since he was young.

If one can overwhelm others with their level of cultivation, then one should never fight someone of the same level.

When the younger generation ventures into the martial world, even those from major sects or Aristocratic Clan, they inevitably encounter situations where the strong bully the weak.

Among them were those whose disciples were forbidden from introducing themselves when they traveled to the sect. This was both a form of training and a means of cultivating their character and conduct.

This one was the only exception.

He is the only one in a thousand years who has been able to roam the world with the Chain Forming Realm and make a name for himself as someone who "excels at bullying the weak."

Therefore, once the news that Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple was almost "annihilated" reaches the Northern Dark Sea battlefield, given his vengeful and protective nature, he will surely return to the Western Desert immediately to settle scores with all parties!

That person would never consider the overall situation of the Northern Dark Sea!

Only Zuo Lan could utter such nonsense as "My heart is set on the world and all living beings."

These are the points that resonate with everyone.

A powerful Dharma Aspect cultivator who will stop at nothing is truly someone you shouldn't mess with.

As for those who feel indignant, they wonder, "How dare such a person break through to the Dharma Aspect?"

Among the Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking back then, this person was generally considered the least likely to break through to the Dharma Aspect!

Two Heaven Ranking experts even bluntly stated that Chen Fuyou lacked a Martial Dao heart and would find it difficult to rise to great heights in the future.

The most vehement criticism was that his Martial Dao was utterly rubbish, barely passable, and that his current level was purely due to luck.

now.

With everyone united in their hatred of the enemy, Zuo Lan slightly abandoned his original idea. The various External Scenery bid farewell for the time being, as they needed to go back to make some arrangements and inform their respective families.

"Junior Brother Yu, you must have been implicated by the Daoist temple this time."

After seeing off the other teams' External Scenery representatives, Zuo Lan pulled Yu Tunzhou deeper into the training grounds and said directly, "Not long ago, my senior brother, in the Northern Dark Sea battlefield, cooperated with Jiang Wenxuan's Cosmic Heaven Grand Array to slay a true dragon at the Dharma Aspect level!"

Yu Tunzhou was shocked. The Northern Dark Sea battlefield had already suffered casualties at the Dharma Aspect level?!

The situation in the Northern Dark Sea was far more serious than he had imagined!

"This sneak attack by the Dragon Race experts is likely retaliation."

Zuo Lan said in a deep voice.

In his view, with two External Scenery launching a surprise attack, one of them would entangle him, while the other would be able to free up his hands to inflict heavy casualties on the Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple before other powerful External Scenery from other sects arrived.

As expected, it must have been the arrival of the Yu Tunzhou that caused the other party to change their stance at the last minute.

After all, killing Yu Tunzhou would probably be more valuable than destroying the current Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple.

Therefore, they must give Junior Brother Yu an explanation this time.

"Besides, don't be fooled by the attitude of those people tonight," Zuo Lan sneered. "The location of Far West City is unique, and various families have jointly built a protective array that they take turns controlling. It's impossible for External Scenery to sneak in silently. So, someone must be covering for the Dragon Race tonight!"

"Junior brother, you haven't been in the martial world for long. In the future, when dealing with the Aristocratic Clan and clans, you must be careful. These people say one thing and mean another, and they'll do something else behind your back!"

Yu Tunzhou nodded in agreement.

He had already seen the cunning of the Aristocratic Clan in the cave.

There are only so many young people, not to mention the older ones.

"Senior Brother Zuo, what do you think those two long serpents came from? The Northern Sea Dragon Palace?"

"The Northern Sea Dragon Palace shouldn't have the guts," Zuo Lan judged. "As expected, it should be Dragon Race from overseas."

Yu Tunzhou frowned. "Will the overseas Dragon Race also participate in this Eternal Dragon Gate?"

Upon hearing this question, Zuo Lan frowned and asked Yu Tunzhou if he had overheard something.

Yu Tunzhou repeated the warning he had just received.

Zuo Lan's expression was serious. "I will inform the Gold-Wielding Guard of this matter. The matter of the Eternal Dragon Gate is beyond our ability to handle."

Yu Tunzhou nodded, but in his heart he was thinking that he needed to find a time to talk to the Gold-Wielding Guard.

"By the way," Yu Tunzhou suddenly said, his eyes flashing with a strange light, "Those few seemed particularly afraid of Senior Brother Fuyao. Is it because Senior Brother Fuyao has broken through to the Dharma Aspect?"

Zuo Lan's expression became somewhat strange.

He coughed lightly. "A genius like my senior brother inevitably behaves differently from ordinary people, which has attracted a lot of misunderstandings and criticism from outsiders. We're used to it."

Yu Tunzhou pondered, "Is this what makes a genius so unconventional?"

While in the cave, he had heard Zhou Tianchen mention his senior brother several times, saying that this man had risen from humble beginnings and had won every battle, a feat that was almost legendary!

For this reason, he specifically asked Master Lu, Master Lu also praised this person for his extraordinary character and said that his Daoist heart was among the best in the world.

However, during his year of traveling the martial world, he had also heard some bad things about this man. For example, the old patriarch of the Danyang Qian Household once said that this man didn't really have any martial ethics.

But today I've seen other companies' External Scenery with the same attitude.

Perhaps the reality is even more "serious" than he thought.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore, Junior Brother Yu. Just focus on your cultivation in the dojo. I'll handle the rest."

After saying that, Zuo Lan hurriedly left.

That night.

The Far West City was placed under martial law.

Powerful figures from the External Scenery gates of each palace took turns on guard duty, and the city's protective formation was fully activated.

Zuo Lan did not participate in the attack. He knew very well that even if the other side wanted to launch a surprise attack, they would never choose tonight.

After settling matters at the temple, he disappeared without a trace.

They didn't return until the next day.

On the same day, led by Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple, more than ten sects stationed in the Far West City jointly sent a grievance to the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Ao Jiangjing, the Dragon King of the West Sea, who was already overwhelmed with work for the Eternal Dragon Palace, felt completely bewildered, as if a huge pot had been dumped on his head.

Recently, the matter of the Eternal Dragon Gate alone has taken up eleven percent of his time and energy, leaving him no energy to attend to anything else.

Furthermore----

Don't even mention Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple.

Yu Tunzhou alone was included on the list of people not to be provoked by the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas last year!

The cause, of course, was the joint purge of the East Sea Dragon Palace by the Incense-Smelling Cult and the Supreme Purity Lineage last year.

The Incense-Smelling Cult alone was not enough to terrify the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas, even though they possessed a Dharma Aspect expert.

Although the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas currently lacks experts of the Dharma Aspect level, it does possess the remains of pure-blooded Dragon Race of corresponding levels, which, theoretically, is sufficient to repel enemies overseas.

However, the attitude of the Supreme Purity Lineage forced the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas to take it very seriously.

Behind the Incense-Smelling Cult are just a few unidentified deities.

However, the Supreme Purity Lineage is a genuine inheritance of the Three Pure Ones!

Moreover, in this world, whether overseas or in the Central Plains, the Supreme Purity Lineage can be said to have the most complete inheritance of the Heavenly Venerable lineage. Not only do they possess all four immortal swords, but they also have the sword array diagram in their hands.

Not to mention the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas today, even during the most prosperous period of the Dragon Race in ancient times, no dragon dared to easily provoke that Celestial Venerable.

Under such circumstances, even if they knew that Yu Tunzhou had gained Kunpeng's favor, they could only add him to the list of those who should not be provoked.

After all, Kunpeng isn't the only one in the world who enjoys devouring dragons, and Yu Tunzhou is ultimately Human Race. Gaining Kunpeng's favor doesn't mean he'll become the next Kunpeng.

In contrast, the four immortal swords of the Supreme Purity Lineage are truly hanging there.

Under such circumstances, how stupid would he have to be to send palace External Scenery to attack both Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple and Yu Tunzhou simultaneously?

What, are you worried that the Half-Step Dharma Aspect cultivator at Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple is a bit of a fraud, so you're asking for two more immortal swords from the Supreme Purity Lineage to pick the dragon's teeth?

"Framed!"

Ao Jiangjing gritted his teeth and said, enunciating each word clearly, "This must be a trick by those bastards overseas!"

Ao Tong, the chief steward of the Dragon Palace, sighed, "That's what I said too, but the one from the Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple ignored us."

"The perfect opportunity to extort money from them, how could those bastards possibly let it slip by!" Ao Jiangjing sneered. "Neither side is any good!"

Finally, Ao Jiangjing's expression gradually turned cold, and he had already made up his mind.

The Central Plains Human Race could only extort money from their own kind, but their overseas kin wanted to use their blood to wash away the shame accumulated by the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas over the years.

He spoke slowly, his tone returning to calm. "Have Ao Yunyan carry the bloodline artifact to assist the various martial artists of the Far West City in searching for the whereabouts of those two overseas Dragon Race."

Ao Tong's expression changed. Was he carrying a bloodline artifact to help the Human Race search for their kin?

This is a huge taboo!

Since High Antiquity times, the Dragon Race has declined, and the various lineages have reached a consensus that no matter how much they dislike each other, they must never continue to kill each other.

"What are you standing there for?" Ao Jiangjing glared at him, annoyed. "If you don't go, I'll just hand you over and say you did it!"

Ao Tong's expression hardened, and he decisively chose the latter between dying himself and dying as a member of his clan.

"I'll go right now!"

After he left, Ao Jiangjing sat alone on the throne, his brow furrowed with a hint of unease.

These guys from overseas are getting more and more aggressive, yet they seem fearless and reckless, and I don't know where their confidence comes from.

They fled the Central Plains with their tails between their legs back then, do they really think they can return like the Dragon King now?

On this day, almost all the powerful experts from the External Scenery of the Far West City came out, leaving only two to guard the city's protective formation.

Two days later.

Yu Tunzhou, presiding over the Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple, subtly resonated with the power of heaven and earth through his acupoints, practicing the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art daily.

Suddenly, an immense dragon's might descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Far West City.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

A colossal dragon, hundreds of feet long, with tattered scales and dripping blood, its massive body devoid of all life, was being dragged across the sky above the Far West City by several streaks of light, like a moving mountain.

The dragon's horns were broken, its scales were cracked, and the thick stench of dragon blood spread with the wind, causing all the beasts in the city to cower in fear, and even ordinary martial artists felt their hearts tremble.

This is----

He looked stunned.

Dragon Corpse?

In just two days, various External Scenery have already located the overseas Dragon Race and hunted one down.

Just as he was reeling from the shock, Zuo Lan's words pierced through the clouds, carrying a hint of hearty laughter, and landed steadily in his ears. "Junior Brother Yu, today we will feast on a whole dragon!"

Yu Tunzhou in the blink of an eye, a full dragon feast?

"A full dragon feast?"

Recently, the Great Sage Huntian, who occasionally falls into a deep sleep, has also been awakened by the "smell," as it is all too familiar with the scent of the Dragon Race.

Glancing outside, Huntian sighed, "The bloodlines of the Dragon Race these days are becoming increasingly impure. Fellow Daoist Yu, you probably haven't tasted the flavor of a pure-blooded Dragon Race yet, have you? That flavor is extraordinary."

Yu Tunzhou exclaimed, "The Great Sage must be a seasoned gourmand just by listening to that!"

Huntian stood with his wings folded, head held high. "When it comes to cooking dragon meat, few in the world can compare with my Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage!"

Yu Tunzhou suddenly asked curiously, "In ancient times, various races ate each other's food. So who could have eaten the Golden-Winged Great Peng?"

Nothing more to it, I was just looking at the Niwan Palace, who was smaller than a chicken, Great Sage Huntian dish, made with free-range chickens and wild hazel mushrooms from Changbai Mountain, known in the martial arts world as "Chicken Stew with Mushrooms"----

Huntian, completely unaware of someone's ulterior motives, gazed intently and said in a deep voice, "In the ancient times, it was a thousand times more cruel than it is now. Although the Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage had a noble bloodline, the clan's connections were weak, and infighting was not uncommon. Moreover, there were not many people of lowly bloodlines in that era; those who could rise to power were all powerful individuals with extraordinary destiny and backgrounds—"

As the various External Scenery returned one after another, they rode their beams of light to the training ground. The enormous dragon corpse was placed in the usual training ground, its dragon blood seemingly drained.

The group of External Scenery experts remained calm, showing no signs of the solemnity that followed the Dragon Race hunt. Instead, they all appeared relaxed and chatted amiably.

"These overseas Dragon Race thought they were so good at hiding, but they were still exposed by the Dragon Palace's bloodline tracing technique."

"Unfortunately, the other one escaped into the sea. The speed of this Dragon Race in water is probably no less than the extreme speed of the overseas Heavenly Peng clan."

"It's alright, just let the West Sea Dragon Palace go after them."

"Although the scales and armor are damaged, the dragon's flesh, tendons, bones, Dragon Essence are all rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It would be perfect to hold a feast here tonight to calm the nerves of those who have been frightened."

"Wait a minute, let me first flip through this book, ' One Hundred Ways to Eat a Dragon.' This dragon's bloodline is extremely high, probably close to pure blood, which is perfect for improving my culinary skills."

As the crowd discussed, someone had already taken action. Divine weapons rose and fell, easily splitting open the dragon's body, peeling off its scales, and cutting apart its flesh.

Yu Tunzhou gazed at the scene from afar, his heart filled with emotion.

As expected, once you reach the level of External Scenery, you've already become indifferent to the ordinary reverence of the world.

So what if it's a true dragon? It still incurred the wrath of the masses and was surrounded, torn apart, and became a delicacy on the table.

The fact that this has become "commonplace" is enough to show that in today's world, the supremacy of the Human Race has long been ingrained in the very bones of Human Race.

At this moment, the powerful figures from each family gathered their younger members and began to deal with the situation.

Zuo Lan then found Yu Tunzhou and handed him a Dragon Ball.

"Of the two overseas Dragon Race Dragon Race this time, one was killed at the second level of the Outer External Scenery, while the other, whose realm was slightly lower, was allowed to escape into the sea," Zuo Lan said regretfully. "Once these guys enter the water, they become extremely difficult to find."

"Keep this Dragon Ball safe, Junior Brother Yu. I'll teach you a method for refining the essence of Dragon Ball, which might help you take another step forward on your path to transforming from Kun Fish into a Peng bird."

Yu Tunzhou asked in surprise, "Dojo has a method for dealing with Dragon Ball?"

Zuo Lan smiled helplessly and said, "It can only be said that we are not wronged in being targeted by the Dragon Race. Our ancestor left behind a method for Primordial Spirit, the core of which is to devour dragons to nourish the spirit."

"I also obtained a Dragon Ball before, and asked someone to soak it in a jar of medicinal wine, but I could only extract half of its essence."

Yu Tunzhou took out the medicinal wine.

Zuo Lan's pupils constricted sharply. This was... an High Antiquity divine weapon?

Ordinary External Scenery- level divine weapons do not possess spatial storage capabilities!

Without asking further questions, he took the medicinal wine, examined it for a moment, and said, "I'll have someone process it for you again. That way, one pill for refining the spirit and one for nourishing the body will perfectly harmonize the body and spirit, making it a great tonic."

"Thank you for your help Senior Brother Zuo!"

"You're too kind." Zuo Lan waved her hand. "Consider this Dragon Ball as compensation. When do you plan to set off for the Dragon Palace? Are you really going to the South Sea, instead of the nearby West Sea?"

"This trip is a good opportunity to revisit this place," Yu Tunzhou nodded. "I've already read through most of the notes left by the Patriarch and found the path ahead, but this path still requires practice, so I won't stay at the dojo any longer."

"Alright, I won't keep you. The Eternal Dragon Gate is more important." Zuo Lan patted his shoulder. "Let's go eat dragon meat!"

Soon after, the banquet began.

The meal begins with a grand finale.

It was a whole dragon tendon. After the fascia was removed, it was treated in a special way, saving the soaking time, and then simmered in a rich dragon marrow broth.

Yu Tunzhou picked up a piece of dragon tendon with his chopsticks. It trembled slightly, crystal clear like a silk thread. It was chewy but not tough in the mouth, with a rich and mellow flavor.

The Great Sage was so hungry that he covered his mouth with his wings, wiping away his drool, but he couldn't reveal himself.

"Can this thing really be cooked like this? ---" Huntian muttered to himself, feeling that his family's years of experience and knowledge were not as valuable as that of the Human Race.

Suddenly its eyes lit up, and it hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Fish, quickly take that book, ' One Hundred Ways to Eat a Dragon,' you'll need it when you go to the Eternal Dragon Gate!"

"Even the Great Sage knows about the Eternal Dragon Gate?"

"I've only heard about it," Huntian shook his head and said, "This is a top secret of the Dragon Race. The related bloodline memories were all severed by the Ancestral Dragon of that time. Therefore, until the present day, the Dragon Race of later generations did not know where the portal was. The Heavenly Court also tried to get it back then, but in the end, it was all in vain."

"Fellow Daoist, you should still be careful when entering."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but wonder, why would this Eternal Dragon Gate appear in the present day?

Huntian believed that this was simply the Final Tribulation, and if they didn't fight with all their might now, when would they?

As they chatted, the dishes were served one after another. Among them, the pork spine was cut into palm-sized thick slices and grilled over charcoal until it sizzled and Great Sage Huntian Cry so tempted that he could only crane his neck and look on.

Yu Tunzhou the dragon meat with gusto. Not only was the texture and taste unique, but it was also incredibly nourishing. "Once you enter this Eternal Dragon Gate, won't you be surrounded by dragons and snakes everywhere?"

Unable to obtain it, Huntian could only pace back and forth on Little Black's back to ease his longing for dragon meat. Finally, after much agonizing deliberation, he declared, "This Saint will definitely manifest in the outside world before the Eternal Dragon Gate opens and find a Demon Beast to possess!"

Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but shake his head. Was this some kind of seafood buffet?

Is this Eternal Dragon Gate an aquarium or a seafood market?

As expected, this journey to the Eternal Dragon Gate is both a matter of fortuitous opportunity and fraught with danger.

As the banquet drew to a close, many of the disciples and scions of the various families, emboldened by the wine, mustered their courage and asked Yu Tunzhou for some pointers.

Now.

It really became "offering some pointers," rather than "daring to fight."

A night of fun.

After resting for a day, Yu Tunzhou prepared to leave.

He stayed at Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple for more than a week. It was already close to April. By the time he went south to the South Sea, it should be around August or September.

The initial opening of the Eternal Dragon Gate is tentatively scheduled for October.

It's the season when all other flowers have withered after my blossoms have bloomed.

Compared to the Eternal Dragon Gate, Yu Tunzhou is more eager to compete with the top players on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking List.

Before leaving, he asked his Senior Brother Zuo to look after that kid Feng Qingping.

Zuo Lan laughed heartily. There was no need for him to say anything more. Being in the Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple, how could these things be kept from him?

In Zuo Lan's eyes, this was undoubtedly Yu Tunzhou's "reciprocity," which made him very gratified. Junior Brother Yu was not a dull person who was only focused on cultivation; he was also adept at handling interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, Yu Tunzhou did not continue westward, but turned back in the direction he had come from.

On his way back, he deliberately chose desolate and uninhabited places, using the barren Gobi Desert of the Western Desert as his training ground to hone his boxing Fist Intent.

Finally, he forced his way out of the desert and arrived in the Western Desert region, which was close to the heart of the Central Plains.

At this moment.

The various External Scenery from Far West City who had been following Yu Tunzhou all appeared and bowed to take their leave.

"Young Hero Yu, it seems the overseas Dragon Race won't be showing themselves."

The leader was none other than a powerful External Scenery from Shennong Valley, surnamed Mu. He looked regretful and cupped his hands in farewell, saying, "We'll see you off here. Hope we meet again someday!"

Yu Tunzhou also has some regrets.

Two overseas Dragon Race were hunted down. One was killed by the group, and the other escaped into the sea, but the West Sea Dragon Palace never found its trace.

Everyone guessed that the guy might not have left yet.

Since they haven't left, their intentions are quite clear.

So along the way, everyone stayed far behind Yu Tunzhou, accompanying him as he traversed most of the Western Desert.

Unfortunately, even though Yu Tunzhou used himself as bait, the overseas Dragon Race still didn't take the bait.

Only then did everyone conclude that the overseas Dragon Race had not followed them.

At this point, they went their separate ways.

Two powerful External Scenery warriors returned to the Far West City together, while the rest were mainly there to escort their younger generation into the heart of the Central Plains to challenge their peers on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.

Upon hearing of Yu Tunzhou Shi Shouling, who was on par with Mo Tianxiong, Yu Tunzhou prepared to travel to West Xuan Commandery to challenge Yang Che.

"Farewell, everyone!" Yu Tunzhou in a fist salute.

"Young Hero Yu, let's meet again at the Eternal Dragon Gate!" Shi Shouling said, his eyes gleaming. "At that time, I, Shi, will definitely challenge you!"

Yu Tunzhou smiled and nodded, "I eagerly await your reply."

After saying that, he turned and waved goodbye.

A blue robe blended into the wind and sand.
