Encroachment

Dragons were innate deities in ancient times, firmly holding the [Fruit Position] to this day, and their strength is beyond question.

The Dong Household Little Dragon Mountain lives at the mouth of the White Dragon River. For thousands of years, they have been oppressed by the dragons and have been subservient to them, almost like slaves, in order to ensure the continuation of their Lineage.

If you ask whether the Dong Household cultivators are afraid of dragons, the answer is naturally yes.

Especially this ferocious and bloodthirsty white dragon nobleman in front of him.

Looking at the dragon shadow in the distance, Dong Linyuan subconsciously took a few steps back. Faced with the raging storm and the turbulent winds, he looked panicked and disheveled, no longer displaying the demeanor of a senior expert.

"Could it be... that dragon tendon just now was an ancestral relic of the dragon prince, and the bloodline connection caused a reaction, which is why the dragon prince was so angry?!" Dong Linyuan's mind raced, but he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock for the time being.

Dragons are domineering; even if they manage to storm ashore and annihilate Little Dragon Mountain, what then?!

The Southern Verge Immortal Alliance has been in decline for a thousand years and is now struggling to cope with the New Method laws. It will never risk another conflict with the Dragon Dong Household for the sake of the mere Dong family.

Dong Linyuan regretted getting too involved and harbored some resentment towards Liu Zhijian.

Supreme Mystery Mountain and the Dragon Clan have a long-standing feud, so there's nothing wrong with using materials from dragons to refine treasures.

Of all the things they shouldn't have done, the worst thing was to take it out right under the noses of the dragons of the South Sea at Little Dragon Mountain, where the rivers meet. As a result, they angered the dragon prince and implicated the Dong Household.

"Young friend..." Dong Linyuan was in a state of confusion and at a loss, and could only do his best and leave the rest to fate. "Dragons are domineering, so let's go back to Little Dragon Mountain to take refuge first."

However, there is an underground river at the Little Dragon Mountain that flows directly into the South Sea.

If the dragon prince truly harbors murderous intent, retreating to the mountain to hide will ultimately be of no use.

"Take shelter?!" Facing the raging winds and towering waves, and the roaring white dragon, Liu Zhijian remained unfazed, even showing a hint of excitement. Hearing Dong Linyuan's urging, he turned back and asked in confusion, "Why should I avoid it?"

Dong Linyuan was speechless for a moment after hearing these outrageous words. He was so angry that he laughed and said, "This is a noble son of the White Dragon, named by the Dragon Palace. He has the [Confluence Water] Foundation Establishment cultivation, not some pretentious New Method Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"If it were to rush ashore, killing you and me would be effortless."

This was Liu Zhijian's first time seeing a Foundation Establishment using the Old Method, but unfortunately it wasn't a cultivator but a white dragon. Although he understood that Dong Linyuan's words were true, he still smiled and said, remembering his master's previous advice, "It's alright, it won't dare to land."

Dong Linyuan was taken aback. He glanced at Liu Zhijian, who spoke with such certainty, and felt a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. Some terrifying thoughts welled up in his mind.

"Could it be... that his previous simple and kind demeanor was all an act?"

"In reality, he is a cunning, treacherous, and treacherous person."

"They even saw through my secret collusion with the Dragon faction early on."

"Bringing out the dragon tendon today was a deliberate act, intended to lure the dragon's offspring into a trap..."

"But how could a Qi Refining cultivator be so fearless and even laugh and joke so casually in the face of a Foundation Establishment Dragon Prince? Unless..."

Dong Linyuan's mind raced. He recalled the terrifying sword talisman that had slain the evil dragon Danzhou City that day. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he instantly grasped the situation. "He... is going to slay the dragon!"

With the elders gone, the Old Method lost their protection and became less restrictive.

Is Supreme Mystery Mountain really going to be the first to jump out and slay the dragon, completely igniting chaos in the Southern Edge Continent?!

Dong Linyuan had long known that the dragons were wary of Supreme Mystery Mountain, and now he had no doubt that Liu Zhijian could slay the dragon. Instead, he looked eastward with a face full of worry.

Where the sea meets the sky, the dragon prince is still stirring up trouble, majestic and awe-inspiring, unaware that a sword hangs over his head and his death is imminent!

The key point is that if the dragon prince is slaughtered, Liu Zhijian can naturally withdraw and become famous throughout the world.

The Dong Household Little Dragon Mountain are destined to be buried with the dragon prince!

Dong Linyuan could only pray that the ruthless and bloodthirsty dragon prince would be more level-headed and not actually rush ashore to seek his own death.

Liu Zhijian was unaware of the myriad thoughts swirling in Dong Linyuan's mind. He was focused on the white dragon's silhouette in the distance, already fantasizing about what bait, hooks, and lines to use, how to exhaust its strength, and how to drag it ashore, ultimately becoming the number one angler in the Southern Edge Continent.

The thought of that wonderful scene made me burst out laughing.

Hearing Liu Zhijian's strange laughter, Dong Linyuan felt his heart pound and his scalp tingle.

As expected of the eldest disciple of the Supreme Mystery Demon Sect, he truly possesses a touch of Evil Qi.

Dong Linyuan dared not look any longer, turning his head to the east, and said with some surprise, "Dragon Prince... has stopped?!"

On the eastern horizon, the white dragon was still stirring up trouble, raising towering waves that crashed against the shore and creating a fierce storm.

Although it looked fierce and imposing, a closer look revealed that the white dragon remained above the sea, not daring to cross the confluence of the two water lines even an inch.

It was scared!

Dong Linyuan had been in contact with the dragon clan for many years, and with just one glance, he could tell that the dragon prince, though seemingly aggressive, was actually timid and hesitant, caught in a dilemma.

That's correct.

The layout of the Fubo Flood Dragon Mansion was originally the work of the Dragon Clan.

The alchemy of Human Pill at Rosy Clouds Resting Mountain also involved the secret cooperation of dragons.

When Liu Zhijian wielded the sword and talisman and slew the dragon, it shook the entire Southern Edge Continent, and the Dragon Clan would certainly know of it.

Knowing that Liu Zhijian possessed such a deadly weapon, no matter how ferocious and domineering the dragon clan was, they wouldn't be foolish enough to risk their lives to test the power of the sword talisman!

Liu Zhijian naturally noticed the white dragon lingering on the sea, but it never dared to approach. He thought to himself that his master's words were indeed accurate; dragons really did not dare to land. He was immediately relieved and even had the mind to wave to the east.

Dong Linyuan was dumbfounded.

The white dragon in the distance took Liu Zhijian's actions as a deliberate provocation, and roared incessantly, tumbling and soaring in the air. However, it became increasingly wary and retreated a distance, no longer daring to approach the land.

Liu Zhijian didn't take it seriously, and just laughed, "This white dragon doesn't look very old, and it's a bit timid too."

Dong Linyuan remained silent, pretending not to hear.

Although the white dragon dared not approach the shore, it possessed formidable abilities. It opened its mouth and spat out a white jade bottle, which, with a slight activation, caused a torrent of seawater to pour out, resulting in the seawater overflowing and the river flowing backward.

It looked like a rogue act by a dragon prince, driven by embarrassment and anger, resorting to a magical Law Artifact to save face.

Liu Zhijian's smile vanished, replaced by a solemn expression. The sound of rushing water emanated from his body, and the Manifestation [Kan Water] on him seemed to connect with the waters of the White Dragon River. He vaguely sensed that the white dragon's actions, though seemingly reckless, held a deeper meaning. "This is clearly an attempt to invade Kan, to seize my Manifestation!"

The imagery of [Confluence Water] (He Shui) evokes the idea of countless waters flowing together, suggesting a vast and boundless expanse.

[Kan Water] occupies the proper position, and is the ruler of the Water Virtue, naturally not tolerating any encroachment or offense from its subjects!

Liu Zhijian looked at the confluence of the two rivers, which, pushed and propelled by the boundless Confluence Water, flowed westward along the White Dragon River from its mouth to the sea, and would soon pass the spot where he stood.

"What a cunning beast!" Liu Zhijian knew he could not back down now.

Otherwise, not only will all your Manifestation be ruined, but you will also attract the wrath of [Kan Water], leaving you with no future Dao Path!
