The Evil Dragon Must Be Slain!
Everyone stared intently at the thing in front of them; it was so enormous and exuded a dangerous aura.
Anyone who gets a little closer can feel the sharpness of the black scales on that thing with just a glance.
The enormous tail completely surrounded the female swordswoman; its beautiful black scales were the best defense in the world, and no attack could leave a mark on them.
Fang Chi and the others struggled to sit up, looking at the tail above them that had swatted away all their attacks. The shock they felt was indescribable.
Following this trail, everyone finally got a good look at the handsome young man.
He used to follow Sang Ying around, obediently like a dutiful vassal. Everyone's attention was drawn to Sang Ying, but they ignored the young man beside her.
Little did they know, this usually silent young man was actually... a dragon!
With a loud "boom!", all the attacks that were aimed at Ten Thousand Daos Born's disciples were deflected back by him and landed back on the person who had attacked.
Being devoured by one's own power is no pleasant experience. In an instant, those who had been hiding in the crowd and refused to show themselves were all exposed, one by one falling to the ground injured.
It was because of this that Ten Thousand Daos Born's disciples finally realized that the sudden attack against them was actually the work of several elders of the Limitless Sect!
The powerful dragon tail was slowly retracted, and Jiang Zhuoxue, walked step by step to Sang Ying's side and helped her up.
He held Sang Ying's hand, feeling the tremor in her body. Jiang Zhuoxue pursed his lips and uttered, "I'm sorry."
He rarely apologized to people, but he had already guessed that today's events were probably aimed at him.
Sang Ying was injured because of this, and even innocent people like Ji Fucang and Fang Chi were implicated.
For the first time, Jiang Zhuoxue regretted his arrogance. He should have been more careful; he shouldn't have been so flamboyant. If he had only quietly taken back the scales, perhaps he wouldn't have alerted the Limitless Sect and prevented them from targeting Sang Ying.
Sang Ying endured the pain and grasped his hand back, shaking her head. "What are you apologizing for? It wasn't you who attacked us out of greed. Are you going to blame your privileged background for committing such an evil deed?"
Jiang Zhuoxue could guess, and Sang Ying wasn't stupid either. She had long known that cultivators in the Lower Realm coveted dragons, but she hadn't expected them to target her.
The Limitless Sect really had a brilliant plan; they actually managed to force Jiang Zhuoxue out. Now it seems they really won't be able to leave safely.
"Sect Master Wu, what does your sect mean by this? Don't forget, everyone, it was you who came to Ten Thousand Daos Born seeking help that prompted us to come and lend a hand!" Ji Fucang glanced at Sang Ying a few times, and after confirming that her injuries were not too serious, he gritted his teeth and said to the middle-aged male cultivator on the high platform.
At this moment, Sect Master Wu still had a smile on his face. Although he did not expect that his attempt to force Sang Ying to reveal her true form would instead bring out Jiang Zhuoxue.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we found the dragon, that's enough.
Recalling the scene of the dragon using its scales to defend against the attacks, Sect Master Wu's blood boiled even more.
The scales of this dragon could surely be used to make even better armor!
The thought of this Sect Master Wu made him even happier, and even Ji Fucang's extremely disrespectful attitude towards him failed to annoy him.
"Junior Nephew, why are you so angry? Our sect unexpectedly learned that a vicious dragon had infiltrated your group. We initially thought it was Fellow Daoist Sang Ying." He glanced at Sang Ying with a grin, "But it turns out to be that male cultivator who was with Fellow Sang Ying."
Once Sect Master Wu turned his gaze to Jiang Zhuoxue, the greed in his eyes became completely undisguised.
"So, for a baseless guess, your sect actually turned against your own benefactor, completely disregarding the safety of my Ten Thousand Daos Born's other disciples and putting them in danger?!" Ji Fucang had never been so angry. He had come to rescue people on the sect's orders, but he never expected that his own disciples would fight so hard for them, risking their lives, while they wanted to take their disciples' lives!
He wiped the blood from his mouth and stood in front of his fellow disciples, saying, "If your sect doesn't give me an explanation today, Ten Thousand Daos Born will do everything in his power to seek justice for our fellow disciples in the future!"
While a message talisman cannot transmit messages across two small worlds, this does not mean there are no other ways to do so.
Before he came, Elder Xiao had warned him not to use the Law Treasure that could contact the sect lightly. But once it was used, it meant that the matter was by no means simple.
At best, it would be a conflict between the two sects; at worst, it could cause a catastrophe in both small worlds.
Ji Fucang hadn't originally planned to use it, but he couldn't hold back any longer after what happened today.
Looking at Ji Fucang's serious face, Sect Master Wu felt threatened and displeased, but he was also somewhat wary of his words.
The Limitless Sect has just experienced a beast tide, in which most of its disciples perished, including several elders. Meanwhile, Ten Thousand Daos Born has been recuperating and his disciples are likely far more numerous than theirs. If the two sides were to fight now, Sang Ying, bearing the title of benefactor, would certainly not receive any help from anyone, and the Limitless Sect's fate would undoubtedly be defeat.
He hoped that the Limitless Sect would get better and better, and naturally did not want to have a conflict with Ten Thousand Daos Born.
Sect Master Wu suppressed his displeasure and said with a forced smile, "Nephew, what are you saying? We were wrong this time, and we will certainly apologize to your disciple Ten Thousand Daos Born in the future. However, this evil dragon will definitely remain in our Black Tortoise Realm today!"
"Fellow Daoists of the other sects, this evil dragon has secretly infiltrated Ten Thousand Daos Born's group and sneaked into our Black Tortoise Realm. We don't know what he's plotting. Today he has finally shown his true colors. How can we let this evil dragon leave?!" Before Ji Fucang could answer, Sect Master Wu hurriedly tried to win over the people from the other sects.
The elders of the Limitless Sect weren't fools either. While their sect leader was arguing with Ji Fucang, they secretly started making snide remarks to the other powerful figures.
If Sang Ying were the real villain this time, some people might have backed down for the sake of their reputation. But Jiang Zhuoxue is the villain, and he didn't save their lives. How could they let such a precious person slip away?
Therefore, almost as soon as Sect Master Wu spoke, all the other powerful figures besides those from Sword Frost Cliff responded in unison:
"Indeed! This evil dragon is an ominous black dragon, and it must be related to the dragon from many years ago. How can we let this wicked beast leave with Fellow Sang Ying?"
"Evil dragons cannot live in this world; for the sake of all living beings, they should be eliminated!"
"Kill him, don't let him go!"
The words reached everyone's ears, and even the disciples who were originally afraid of Jiang Zhuoxue or angry about Sang Ying's concealment felt compassion.
The dragon had to reveal its true form to shield them from the attack. But they never imagined that the price for saving them would be Jiang Zhuoxue's death!
The crowd suddenly fell silent, except for the words of the powerful figures on the high platform, filled with murderous intent and greed, which surged forth like a tidal wave, almost suffocating them.

Next up is the story of Longlong's suffering.
But Sang Ying will pull him back into the sunlight!
