Chapter 562: Little Dragon Meets With Danger
Yun Jiuge shook the Wind Chime Flower inside the cave dwelling. A jingling sound rang out.
In a short while, Blooming Flowering Tree came back, intoxicated with a strong smell of wine all over his body. It appeared that he had drunk a lot at the banquet.
“What’s the matter? Huh, Zi Shang, why did you get out of the shell early?” Blooming Flowering Tree’s drunken gaze fell upon Zi Shang, and he immediately sobered up.
“Someone broke into the Energy Barrier and attacked me.” Zi Shang put his claws on the edge of the pool. He wore a very disgruntled look on his face.
“Who was it? How did I not detect it at all?” Blooming Flowering Tree was taken aback. Although he had been drinking earlier, he did not let his guard down. Yet he did not even notice at all.
“He’s someone particularly good at controlling dark shadows,” said Zi Shang while he took out the black Magic Talisman he had caught earlier. He then asked, “Have you ever seen such a Magic Talisman before?”
Blooming Flowering Tree took it to have a closer look. He put it under his nose to take a sniff, and then said, “It smells of human blood. It should be related to the Human race.”“Human race. Did Fan Yin come today?” Yun Jiuge asked.
“Fan Yin? Did he not swear that he wouldn’t return as long as the Human race is in chaos and hell is not empty?” said Blooming Flowering Tree, a sarcastic smile hanging on the corners of his mouth. He did not have a favorable opinion of the guy who liked to give up his life for others.
“I suspect the mastermind behind the scenes has something to do with him,” Yun Jiuge said.
“That can’t be. He doesn’t even want to stay in the Canglan Continent. Why would he want to take over the Celestial Palace?” Blooming Flowering Tree was somewhat surprised.
Fan Yin was an oddity in the Canglan Continent. Although he had a profound Cultivation, he bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind all the time. In the end, he self-destructed his own Cultivation to descend into the primitive plane of existence.
The primitive plane of existence was in a mess, and Spiritual Energy was scarce. They would only go to that goddamn place to suffer if they were punished or wanted to reincarnate for Cultivation again. People like Fan Yin, who wanted to save the world, were few and far between.
“I also think it’s impossible. But I can’t think of anyone else except him. I asked him once after I received the omens of the Great Catastrophe, and it didn’t take long to find out that the Child of Life was the key to salvation,” said Yun Jiuge. She recalled the past and found that even though Fan Yin did not explicitly put forward his own views, he dropped a lot of hints to her.
“Let’s go find him for a clarification.” Zi Shang angrily flew toward Yun Jiuge. If it were truly Fan Yin who created all the troubles, he would definitely eat him alive.“Do you want to go now?” Yun Jiuge frowned. She was not prepared to descend to the world of mortals yet.
“Of course we’re not going now. You just announced that you’re going to give me the Celestial Palace. If you were to run to the primitive plane of existence now, what would those fellows think? The Canglan Continent would definitely be in a mess right away,” said Blooming Flowering Tree, hurrying to stop them.
Those guys outside all did not devour him alive out of respect for Yun Jiuge. If Yun Jiuge were to rush to the primitive plane of existence, his Demon Forest might be burned and destroyed by the angry guests.
“Little Flower is right. We don’t have hard evidence now, so it’s no use finding him. It’s better to go back to the Celestial Palace first and see how things are. If they want to do something, they’ll still definitely make a move against me,” Zi Shang said.
“No, if they want to prove that your Holy Essence is unstable, they just have to capture the Child of Life,” said Blooming Flowering Tree, at which point he suddenly turned pale with fright. “Oh no, those guys can silently tear my Energy Barrier — your Celestial Palace is also at risk. You’d better hurry back.”
“Long’er, Long’er!” Yun Jiuge could not help going weak in her hands and legs at the thought of her son being in danger.
She was afraid that her child would hurt himself, so she had sealed his space power when they first returned to the Celestial Palace. Before she left, she even gave him the Three Days Tranquilizer to drink. Now, he did not even have the ability to resist.
“Don’t worry. The Energy Barrier of our Celestial Palace is not so easy to break. We’ll still be on time if we hurry back now.” Zi Shang squeezed Yun Jiuge’s shoulders with his claws, and then said to Blooming Flowering Tree, “Little Flower, we’ll go back now. We’ll leave things here to you. You’ve to be careful.”
“Don’t worry. I just have to stay here and behave. No one can come to me looking for trouble.” Blooming Flowering Tree had been managing the Demon Forest for more than 2,000 years. He did not just eat, drink, and make merry. He had also hidden a lot of Prohibition Spells in the forest.
“Good.” Zi Shang took Yun Jiuge along and left the Demon Forest through a secret passage.
They dared not travel in a Spiritual Boat. They just directly used their main strength to fly to the Celestial Palace.
At the Golden Dragon Hall in the Celestial Palace, a large area of blood-stained dark shadows emerged from the ground and placed the serving puppet maids and guards all firmly under control in no time.
Qing’er had just fed Spiritual Milk to Little Dragon, who was now asleep. When she got up to go wash the cup, she acutely sensed a huge shift in the main hall’s Spiritual Energy.
She raised her hands to wield a green-colored Immortal Sword and swung a few times toward the spot where the Spiritual Energy was the weakest.
The dark shadow was forced to appear, and it transformed into a ferocious monster, which pounced toward Qing’er.
Qing’er wanted to escape but found herself unable to move.
She looked down and discovered that her feet were glued to the ground by the dark shadow.
Seeing how the black monster was going to pounce on her, Qing’er was unfazed. Instead, she exhausted her body’s entire strength to pierce the Immortal Sword through the roof.
An alarm sounded throughout the Celestial Palace. Qing’er slowly fell to the ground, covered in blood.
“Damn it,” an annoyed voice rang out. It had sacrificed ten 1000-year-old Spiritual Beasts and racked its brains to infiltrate the Celestial Palace, but things were now ruined by this Ling Clan woman.
“Stop your nonsense and quickly get the Child of Life out,” another sharp voice sounded. The longer they took, the less likely they were to get out.
The two dark shadow monsters pounced on Little Dragon, who was on the bed.
At this time, Little Dragon was still deep in a dream. After going through the sequence of playing, falling out and squabbling with the Imperial Highness, the two little ones were sitting left and right respectively on both sides of the garden and having a stare down against each other.
“Someone’s going to catch you. Aren’t you going to hide?” The Imperial Highness felt the hostility from two dark shadow monsters.
As the only heir of the Ancient Black Demonic Clan, he had to survive through being chased for his life the day he was born. Thus, he was the most sensitive to murderous intent and malice.
“What nonsense are you spouting? This is my sleeping chamber. Who would dare come in and catch me?” Little Dragon said smugly, with a look of surety that no one would dare bully him.
“Silly dragon, you can go ahead and die if you want. Just don’t get me involved.” The Imperial Highness was still in Little Dragon’s dream and if Little Dragon were to get into trouble, he himself would also be implicated.
He made a prompt decision and kicked Little Dragon man to send him flying. Then he instantly controlled Little Dragon’s body and immediately teleported away from the golden bed.
The two dark shadow monsters then pounced on the bed but did not expect to land on an empty space.
“Where did the little rascal go?” The tall dark shadow monster was at a loss as it looked at the big empty bed. It had clearly seen the little dragon sleeping on the bed earlier.
“Over there. Be careful, the little rascal knows how to teleport through space.” The short dark shadow monster instantly found Little Dragon hiding in the eaves.
“Your Space Power is too weak!” The Imperial Highness did not expect Little Dragon to be so weak.
When Ao Ge died at that time and transmitted the image back, this rare Holy Golden Dragon Power seemed to be very formidable. But why did he teleport for only a short distance now?
