Liang Si: "I plan to send this Black Dragon away"

"The mindset with which those in charge handle affairs is something we should all learn from."

A powerful member of the Xiang Clan spoke up.

Given such a difference in their levels of understanding, they didn't have much of an advantage at all.

On the contrary, if a fight breaks out and the person in charge is unable to withstand the strongest attack, the consequences for them will be extremely serious.

In this light, not taking action was a wise decision.

No wonder the other party was so confident and fearless.

"But they're all at the Seventh Level of Saint Venerable, why are they here trying to snatch this Black Dragon from us?" A Xiang Clan expert asked, puzzled.

"And isn't this just too much of a coincidence?"

Upon hearing this, several powerful members of the Xiang Clan nodded, revealing expressions of deep agreement.

"It's indeed too much of a coincidence. Seventh Level of Saint Venerable, with such strength, would be someone of extremely high status and position in any force, and would be very rare to find in the world. And now we've actually encountered him, and it just so happens that this Black Dragon has come out," one Human Dao.

Another person glanced down at the Five Symbols Sect and said:

"That's perfect, could it be...?"

He paused mid-sentence, before anyone could say anything, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly:

"I really dare to imagine it. In this cultivation environment of the Land of the Four Directions, even the Saint King is the limit. How could such a powerful expert possibly appear?"

If that were true, the Five Symbols Sect would certainly not need to act in this manner.

"It's probably just a coincidence," another Human Dao.

"The other party probably just happened to be passing by. When this Black Dragon appeared, it made such a commotion that it could probably be heard for miles around. It's not surprising that they came looking for it. Besides, this Black Dragon itself is also good material for cultivation."

This statement quickly garnered nods of agreement from many people.

That makes sense, after all, after so many years of cultivation, everyone has seen some coincidences to varying degrees.

Moreover, Black Dragon are indeed quite attractive to cultivators.

Although the Black Dragon is not a true dragon, it is related to dragons in some way. Unlike other dragons, it is not rare or scarce, and its overall strength is relatively low, making it easier to hunt.

The Black Dragon's tendons can be used to make bowstrings, its scales can be used to make armor, its flesh and blood can be used to nourish and temper the body, its essence and blood can be used to make medicine, and its dragon soul can be refined to strengthen the soul and guard the mind.

In addition, the Black Dragon's promiscuous nature gives it an advantage, and the function of its eggs is also extremely important, both for male cultivators and for female cultivators.

In short, every part of it is a treasure, but this also makes them rare and hard to find. Black Dragon, which are easy to find, often live in groups and are difficult to kill.

The lone Black Dragon, in comparison, is essentially a moving aggregate of treasures.

Listening to the other people's discussion, Xiang Qing didn't say anything.

The other person's level of cultivation was nothing more than something he made up.

According to his estimation, the other party's level of cultivation should be similar to his own.

As for why I didn't dare to fight, it was mainly because of that feeling I had earlier.

If this was caused by the opponent's attack just now, then the method was truly bizarre. Even though the opponent has left, he still feels something is wrong.

Something seems to have changed.

If you are cunning, then consider carefully before acting.

That's why he didn't act immediately.

However, the Black Dragon was taken by the other party, which is truly a great pity.

The "incomplete Black Dragon" analogy was just a way to save face.

Although the Black Dragon was missing its egg, it had everything else it needed, and it would be of great use to the Xiang Clan.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the situation, this was the only option.

However, when I think back to the Holy Water that I finally received, only to have it suddenly disappear, my feelings go beyond just regret.

How could he, a dignified Saint Venerable, have twice missed out on truly useful treasures?

After thinking for a moment, Xiang Qing stopped.

It cannot be said that he was disturbed by emotions.

At that moment, he spoke up:

"There aren't many people in the world with such strength. With the Xiang Clan's capabilities, finding him shouldn't be too difficult."

After saying that, his figure fell back into the Five Symbols Sect.

On the other side, Lu Changzhi transmitted his voice to Liang Si:

"The ancestor's strength is truly astonishing."

In response, Liang Si said:

"It was all thanks to a bit of luck. But Xiang Qing is really patient; he doesn't even intend to make a move. He truly deserves to be the person in charge of the Xiang Clan."

Lu Changzhi wholeheartedly agreed with this.

They were not weak to begin with, and there were many of them. If it were an ordinary cultivator in this situation, they would probably have attacked again immediately.

This Xiang Qing is indeed very difficult to deal with.

"However, now that we've lost our Heart of Insight, we probably won't be able to discern anything."

Looking at the Heart of Insight in the system's inventory, Lu Changzhi murmured to himself.

According to what we know, Xiang Qing and his group came to the Five Symbols Sect because they discovered something, and the same thing happened at Hidden Origin Peak.

Now that one talent is missing, it's uncertain whether anything can still be discerned.

If you can't see anything, leave quickly.

That way, I can fall back asleep before midnight.

At this moment, Liang Si suddenly said again:

"I didn't expect you to have Black Dragon here. Did you cut off its Black Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled:

"Yes."

"It's good stuff," Liang Si said.

"However, the effects of dragon root are stronger than those of dragon egg."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment:

"The dragon egg Peak Master Xu; they both have that ambition."

Liang Si understood:

"Then Longgen and his men can't hold out."

After a pause, Liang Si continued:

"What are your plans, Black Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi said:

What are your plans, Ancestor?

Liang Si did not answer, but instead asked some questions first.

For example, what is the origin of this Black Dragon? Does it know the location of the Five Symbols Sect? And what has this Black Dragon been in contact with?

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment. This was the first time the Black Dragon had appeared in the Land of the Four Directions. As for contact with it, there had been quite a few, since the fruit trees and the spiritual mountain were both located in the secret realm.

"Alright then," Liang Si said.

"If you don't want to continue raising it, I plan to give this Black Dragon away."

Which type of delivery?

Lu Changzhi asked a question.

"Find someone to send him back to the Black Dragon Clan."

After Liang Si finished speaking, he explained.

The Xiang Clan all claimed that the Black Dragon belonged to them, and they further provoked Black Dragon by mentioning its incompleteness. The Black Dragon, being extremely vengeful and lustful, convinced itself that its previous experiences and interactions had all taken place within the Xiang Clan.

The Black Dragon Clan is very united and also deeply hates the Human Race.

Now, whatever the fate of this Black Dragon may be, good or bad, once it becomes known to the Black Dragon Clan, it will surely cause some ripples, especially regarding the dragon eggs. Black Dragon have a strong regenerative ability, but dragon eggs cannot grow any longer and are coveted by Human Race.

Since the Black Dragon is bound to harbor hatred, and we're all human, letting the Xiang Clan bear the brunt of it is just a matter of reciprocity.

"Alright, then let's do as Ancestor plans." Lu Changzhi agreed.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Xiang Qing, now back in the Five Symbols Sect, looked directly toward the direction of the real Hidden Origin Peak that he had previously observed.

Soon, he revealed a knowing look.

Now, the feeling is different from before. This change must be because the Black Dragon took the initiative to appear.

Now that this feeling has disappeared, the Five Symbols Sect seems to have lost its uniqueness.

They did indeed conceal their strength, but only relative to the Land of the Four Directions; to the Xiang Clan, it was nothing.

As for the treasures worth taking, they have now been intercepted halfway.

Right now, I feel somewhat uneasy, as if I'm suspended in mid-air, without anything to rely on, and I can't quite figure out why.

Just then, Xiang Qing suddenly looked up and gazed at the distant horizon.

In the darkness of night, a figure seemed to walk on air, each step covering several miles, and was approaching diagonally.

A quick calculation reveals that its destination is precisely this place.
