Chapter 500: Deep Sea Dragon Girl, Business Road Bodyguard
Chapter 500: Deep Sea Dragon Girl, Business Road Bodyguard
The pearl in Xiao Yuying's hand was naturally the Canghai Pearl that she had lent to Zheng Fa to save his life.
It’s just that Zheng Fa hadn’t been used before, and when he returned to the Nine Mountains Realm, the item would naturally return to its original owner.
The spiritual power in her palm flowed into the Cang Hai Pearl, and her mouth moved as if she was praying.
In an instant, the Canghai Pearl emitted a bright blue light, reflecting on the faces of everyone in the courtyard.
Zheng Fa, as the lord of the Nine Mountains Realm, suddenly sensed something and could not help but use his Dongxu Spirit Eyes to look towards the Canghai Pearl.
He seemed to see a deep ocean.
The dark sea water is mixed with rich spiritual energy.
There was only a faint light, flickering, as if something was sleeping in the darkness.
"What's the matter."
Suddenly, a voice came from the Canghai Pearl.
The voice was soft and graceful, like that of a woman, but when Zheng Fa heard it, he could hear the indifference of the owner of the voice.
Xiao Yuying lowered her head and said respectfully:
"Master, please help me."
The light of the Canghai Pearl flashed again, as if there was an eye, looking around, and then the woman asked again: "Save you?"
"Not to save me."
The woman was silent for a moment, and seemed a little angry before she slowly said, "You only have one chance."
"The disciple understands."
"Who?"
After hearing Xiao Yuying's answer, the woman's voice became even colder, but she did not hesitate.
Xiao Yuying quickly told the woman about Senior Sister Zhang's identity, appearance and location. The woman said nothing more, but the scenery in the Canghai Pearl began to change.
It was like an eye leaping out of the sea and passing over the islands.
Zheng Fa was unwilling to wait there, so he simply grabbed Xiao Yuying and the anxious Uncle Pang and headed towards Hongsha Island together.
As he flew, he watched the scene in the Canghai Pearl. As soon as he left the Nine Mountains Realm, Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Uncle Huang and others appeared on the screen:
Senior Sister Zhang held the Qingjing Bamboo in her hand and protected Senior Uncle Huang and the others as they retreated behind her.
His face was as pale as snow.
In front of her, an old monk with long eyebrows, sitting on a golden lotus, was chasing her closely.
The old monk held a wooden fish in his hand, knocking it from time to time, and the Buddhist chanting sounded leisurely.
The Buddha's light created waves and covered Senior Sister Zhang Zhang.
Senior Sister Zhang did not resist, but the innate Bagua flew in front of her, as if she was doing a rapid deduction.
Then he flashed and leaned against the quiet bamboo, narrowly avoiding the Buddha's light.
Zheng Fa was familiar with the Xiantian Bagua, so he could naturally see that Senior Sister Zhang's fighting style was extremely conservative, and she only wanted to avoid the old monk's attack and wait for rescue.
However, the gap in their cultivation levels was too great. Even with the Xiantian Bagua and Qingjing Bamboo, Senior Sister Zhang was no longer able to do it.
He became more and more anxious and urged the rainbow light to move.
But as Uncle Pang said, the sea was vast, and in an instant, he was a little out of reach.
However, the gap in hard power has made Sister Zhang's tricks less and less effective.
The old monk struck the wooden fish again.
The innate Bagua was spinning, but Senior Sister Zhang's body trembled slightly, as if she was running out of magic power. She could actually calculate a way to survive, but she couldn't avoid the attack and could only take it.
Zheng Fa was anxious.
In the Canghai Pearl, the scene changed again.
Dragon roar!
A dragon's roar rose from the bottom of the sea and collided with the Buddha's light emitted from the wooden fish.
Protect Senior Sister Zhang and others behind him.
The old monk's expression changed slightly. He stood up from the lotus platform and stared at the sea with a look of surprise and doubt.
Unknowingly.
Thousands of white clouds gathered in the sky.
A strong wind blew at sea.
A huge, terrifying black shadow slowly appeared under the sea.
The old monk's expression became more solemn, and his whole body glowed with golden light. He shouted:
"Lord Shuyu Dragon!"
Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuying, feeling surprised.
Master Xiao Yuying is more powerful than I thought!
Just now, when Xiao Yuying took out the Canghai Pearl, Zheng Fa had some guesses in his mind:
Fairy Xiao’s master must be a Dao Fruit cultivator, and may even be in the sea.
It's not even an ordinary Taoist fruit.
But what is this old monk shouting?
dragon?
He had seen many dragons.
Uncle Pang also has a Five Dragon Palace.
But the real dragon clan, or the ancient dragon clan, has long disappeared and only legends remain.
The dragons who remain in Xuanwei now are not pure blood, and are far from reaching the threshold of the dragon clan:
Simply put, it is a private label product.
But this old monk was a Taoist cultivator, and the dragon he called was Dragon Lord, which was obviously not the same as the dragons Zheng Fa had seen before.
The huge black shadow on the sea surface suddenly flashed, and in the instant that no one could see clearly, a woman stood in the void.
She was wearing an antique robe and had a face like that of a young girl, yet she was extremely cold.
The most special thing is the two small dragon horns on her head.
"It is indeed the Dragon Lord."
Lord Shuyu Dragon glanced at Senior Sister Zhang and said directly, "I want her to live."
"Dragon Lord, this is my Leiyin Temple..."
"You want to fight?"
The old monk's expression changed, and he seemed a little afraid.
Zheng Fa was slightly surprised.
After seeing the fight between Senior Sister Zhang and the old monk just now, Zheng Fa could roughly guess that this old monk was probably a true immortal from the Leiyin Temple.
Xiao Yuying's Dragon Master has such a tough attitude, he must be a true immortal?
"Dragon Lord, you dare to offend my Leiyin Temple just for this person?"
"How dare you, Leiyin Temple, offend me just for this person?"
So cool!
Zheng Fa couldn't help but turn his head and look at Xiao Yuying again.
I felt a little confused.
No wonder Sect Leader Yan would rather beat Yan Wushuang to death than offend Xiao Yuying.
This girl's background is as hard as diamond.
I remembered that Xiao Yuying felt burdened because she drank a few extra bottles of Hundred Flowers Spirit Dew.
But it is no exaggeration to say that when he saw the Dragon Lord, Zheng Fa was willing to use the Hundred Flowers Spirit Dew to give Xiao Yuying a bath.
The old monk's expression was also stiff. He frowned and looked at the Dragon Lord, seeming somewhat unwilling.
The two faced each other in silence in the air.
After a while, the old monk put his palms together, and with a flash of Buddha's light, he disappeared without a trace.
……
Rainbow light fell, and Zheng Fa landed beside Senior Sister Zhang. He looked around, but found that the people from Leiyin Temple were nowhere to be seen.
I don’t know whether the old monk was afraid of the Dragon Lord or anticipated that Zheng Fa would be here soon, so he ran away very quickly.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Senior Sister Zhang shook her head, looked at the Shuyu Dragon Lord, and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you, Dragon Lord, for saving me."
Lord Shuyu Dragon seemed to have no intention of saying more and just looked at Xiao Yuying.
Xiao Yuying pursed her lips and held the Canghai Pearl above her head.
Lord Shuyu Dragon waved his hand slightly, took the Canghai Pearl into his palm, turned his eyes away from Xiao Yuying, and looked at Zheng Fa again.
He ignored everyone and without saying a word, his figure broke into pieces and disappeared in an instant.
Only Zheng Fa and others were left, looking at each other, and then looked at Xiao Yuying who had her head down, all of them speechless.
……
Several people landed on Hongsha Island and inspected the losses on the island.
Fortunately, there was no loss.
Because of Senior Sister Zhang's innate Bagua, Jiushan Sect had a glimmer of hope and no disciples were killed.
Uncle Pang took the general document and informed the disciples on each island that the crisis was temporarily over.
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang did not look very happy.
This crisis was overcome with the help of Lord Shuyu Dragon.
But what about next time?
Zheng Fa's gaze fell on Xiao Yuying, and he felt both grateful and guilty.
Obviously, Lord Shuyu Dragon was unwilling to always be the babysitter for his own disciple.
This is the only time I will give Xiao Yuying protection.
As a result, Xiao Yuying used it on Jiushan Sect.
As if she could see Zheng Fa's mood, Xiao Yuying smiled freely and said, "I won't be in any danger in the Nine Mountains Realm in the future, and the Canghai Pearl will not be of much use to me."
Of course this is not credible.
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon seemed cold-hearted. After this attack, he seemed unwilling to protect Xiao Yuying anymore.
It's almost a life.
For Xiao Yuying, the loss was indeed huge.
Seeing that his expression was still full of guilt, Xiao Yuying shook her head and said, "Master has never been kind to me, and he didn't accept me as his disciple out of love."
Zheng Fa frowned.
He had never heard Xiao Yuying introduce her master in detail before, and he didn't know the inside story.
"My master is the last of the ancient dragons in the Xuanwei Realm." Xiao Yuying explained, "I am not a dragon, so I cannot practice the dragon skills. In fact, I don't spend much time with my master."
"The last of the ancient dragons?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuying nodded and said, "My master once said that the ancient dragon clan was extremely glorious, and was a divine beast favored by heaven and earth. It could be called the overlord of the sea and was almost invincible in the sea." "It's just... she's the only one left."
After hearing this, Zheng Fa's heart moved slightly and he looked at Senior Sister Zhang.
Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhang was also looking at him. As soon as the two of them looked at each other, they could tell what the other was thinking:
Hug your thighs!
The retreat of Zhitong from Leiyin Temple does not mean the safety of the trade routes between East and West Continents.
On the contrary, this retreat without a word shows that the other party will never give up.
They wanted to attack the disciples of Jiushan Sect on the trade route, and Zheng Fa would definitely be unable to defend himself.
Not to mention whether he has time to stay in the sea every day.
Even if he had the time, he couldn't guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
The final result is most likely that he is too exhausted and his cultivation is hindered by the trade route.
You can give up the trade route...
Judging from the current situation, if Jiushan Sect abandons the trade route, not only will its future strategic development be hindered, but its early investment will also be wasted, and it may even suffer serious damage to its vitality.
"Senior Sister, I think the Dragon Lord seems to be able to quickly explore everything in the sea area and can even arrive there in an instant."
Zheng Fa said carefully.
The scene in the Canghai Pearl just now made Zheng Fa feel a little familiar.
This Jade Dragon Lord seems to have a natural control over the ocean.
It’s a bit like the control he has over the Nine Mountain Realm, but not as strong. The problem is… considering the vastness of the sea, this ability is really a bit abnormal.
In addition, as the Dragon Lord said, the ancient dragon clan is almost invincible in the sea.
It is more like Zheng Fa’s situation in the Nine Mountains Realm.
Senior Sister Zhang nodded gently: "Zhi Tong is a True Immortal, and the Dragon Lord seems to be about the same, but..."
Xiao Yuying also understood: "You want to cooperate with my master? Let her protect the trade route?"
"Fairy Xiao, do you think it's possible?"
Xiao Yuying immediately shook her head, as if she hadn't thought about it at all.
Seeing Zheng Fa's puzzled look, Xiao Yuying smiled bitterly and said, "Don't even mention now. I'm afraid my master will be a little angry with me for using the Cang Hai Pearl without authorization. In the past, I didn't have the ability to convince my master."
This is a bit embarrassing.
The way the Dragon Lord looked at him was really a bit like the way he looked at Huang Mao...
"No one can impress my master."
"Ok?"
"Rumor has it that Yao Chi invited her, but she refused."
This is difficult.
Not to mention that the Lord of Shuyu Dragon seemed to have some dissatisfaction with him.
As of now, the conditions that Jiushan Sect can offer are by no means better than those of Yaochi.
But thinking about the threats facing the trade routes today, Zheng Fa couldn't think of a better solution for the moment.
……
"You mean the Jade Dragon Lord?" In the light curtain, Nishang Yuanjun was startled when she heard this and exclaimed, "You can actually persuade her?"
"Yuan Jun, do you know the Dragon Lord well?"
"I don't know much about her. I only know that she is also a True Immortal. But there are rumors in the sect that she can almost suppress all True Immortals in the sea..."
Since it was not a secret, Nishang Yuanjun spoke very frankly.
"Jellyfish once said that what she practiced was probably half of the Shinto method, but without too many of the Shinto flaws... Because of this, I, Yao Chi, sincerely invited her to join."
"She didn't agree?"
"She doesn't care." Nishang Yuanjun sighed, "She has no interest in the disputes among the human race. She may have a little intention of protecting the demon race, but she doesn't take it seriously."
Zheng Fa was stunned.
He always thought that the four sects had not discovered the value of the sea.
Now it seems that it may be because of the Lord Shuyu Dragon, so there were many big monsters in the sea in the past.
But when the Great Free Demon Emperor achieved enlightenment, the Dragon Lord seemed to have no reaction. Just like what Nishang Yuanjun said, let it be what it is and he didn't care.
When Nishang Yuanjun said this, she also had a bitter smile on her face: "Back then, in order to convince her, we offered all kinds of conditions, but this Dragon Lord controls the sea area and has inherited the ancient dragon clan. I'm afraid he is extremely wealthy."
"She has no desires and nothing to ask for, and we can't offer anything to make her excited..."
"The matter naturally came to nothing."
This Dragon Lord sounds like a man of great strength who has no desires.
The two chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up Lingxin.
Watching Zheng Fa's face disappear in the light curtain, Nishang Yuanjun's brows slowly frowned.
"Yuanjun?"
The green-shirted female disciple saw that she was worried and couldn't help asking.
"This East and West Continent trade route...if Leiyin Temple deliberately targets it, I'm afraid it will just be a false joy."
"what?"
Nishang Yuanjun thought about it, her face full of helplessness: "Given Xuanding's personality, as long as Zheng Fa is not in trouble, he will definitely not want to spend too much time thinking about it."
"What about us?"
The green-shirted female disciple seemed to be Nishang Yuanjun's confidant. She understood the significance of this trade route to Yuanjun and immediately became anxious.
"There is a goddess in Yaochi, and we are already busy with our own affairs." Nishang Yuanjun said, "The only one who can solve this problem is the Jade Dragon Lord. With her protection, Leiyin Temple will be helpless in the sea, and the trade route will naturally be safe."
"But...we can't impress her."
Nishang Yuanjun also remained silent, and in the end, she only let out a worried sigh.
"That Shuyu Dragon Lord is simply unyielding."
……
Zheng Fa put away the Jade Book of Creation, thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards Xiao Yuying's residence.
Xiao Yuying was sitting in a chair in a daze, with a rare look of confusion on her face.
"Fairy Xiao?"
Xiao Yuying slowly came back to her senses, looked at Zheng Fa in front of her, and laughed at herself: "It doesn't matter if I lose the means to save my life."
Zheng Fa remained silent.
He had been with Xiao Yuying for a long time, so he could naturally see that this fairy Xiao was simple-minded, but very loyal and righteous.
She used the Canghai Pearl, a True Immortal-level backup plan, as she said she would.
Zheng Fa could guess a little bit why he was disappointed now.
"Fairy Xiao, do you feel that you have irritated the Dragon Lord?"
Xiao Yuying lowered her head slightly and said nothing, no longer having the confidence she once had.
After a long while, she spoke softly, "Master was very good to me. She taught me skills and gave me magic weapons, but... I know she didn't take me too seriously."
Zheng Fa listened in silence.
"You accepted me as your disciple just to find the remains of the dragon clan."
It turns out that the Dragon Lord also likes humanoid detectors?
"Looking for the Dragon Clan?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuying smiled and explained, "The magic weapon that fell beside me that year was actually a relic of an ancient dragon clan. My master has been looking for this kind of thing."
Zheng Fa frowned: "Did the Dragon Lord enter the Mysterious Realm back then?"
You must know that when the gods entered the mysterious world, they would be suppressed.
"It's OK to suppress your cultivation." Xiao Yuying explained, "Master said that the ancient dragon clan has the protection of heaven and earth, and has more freedom than others."
No wonder the Dragon Lord is so arrogant.
Not only is he rich and powerful, but he also has a backdoor.
But he has nothing to worry about. Who would want to mess with such a person?
Xiao Yuying whispered, "I haven't found any information about the ancient dragon clan in these years. I'm afraid Master doesn't count on me anymore."
Zheng Fa looked at Xiao Yuying's somewhat gloomy face and understood that Xiao Yuying must have a lot of admiration for the Dragon Lord in her heart.
Even though the Dragon Lord didn't care much about Xiao Yuying.
But it also brought her many benefits:
None of the five sects are willing to offend this matter. For any cultivator, it is a dream come true.
Not to mention the grace of passing on skills and treasures.
To some extent, the Dragon Lord did not treat this disciple unfairly.
"I am deeply grateful to my teacher, but I have no way to repay him."
Zheng Fa thought for a moment and asked again: "Fairy, why does the Dragon Lord want to find the remains of the ancient dragon clan?"
"Master..." Xiao Yuying pursed her lips and said softly, "I feel very lonely."
"She is the only one with the blood of the ancient dragon clan in the world."
"Since she was born, she has no one of the same clan. Now the dragon clan in Xuanwei Realm may have the blood of the dragon clan. Master has never taken it seriously..."
"Master only wants to find fellow tribesmen."
Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment: "Is there?"
Xiao Yuying shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Maybe Master has given up. The biggest gain is that we found a few dead dragon eggs."
After hearing this, Zheng Fa became more concerned.
He didn't say much, just said goodbye to Xiao Yuying and flew to an island in Qinglongsu.
On the island, Jiao Wuji and Xuehe Laozu, with a group of disciples, were observing a four-colored cow.
This is a spiritual cow newly bred by the Agricultural College. In addition to the fact that eating its meat can improve one's cultivation, its greatest use is that its leather can be used to make magical instruments and treasures.
"Master?" Seeing him suddenly coming, the two hurried over to greet him, "Do you have any instructions?"
The two have gotten used to living in the Nine Mountains Realm. Although they don't have much freedom, their daily lives are peaceful and stable, and they are more comfortable than before.
Just because the soul seal is still in Zheng Fa's hands, the two of them have always kept a low profile.
"Well... I want you two to help me seduce a helper for Jiushan Sect."
"Seduction?" Jiao Wuji was stunned, then a confident smile appeared on his face, "This is our specialty of the Great Freedom Demon Sect. Who?"
"Lord Shuyu Dragon."
A hint of bad expression flashed across Jiao Wuji's face: "May I ask this Dragon Lord..."
"The ancient dragon clan, um, true immortals."
Jiao Wuji slowly lowered his head, looking at his half-human, half-dragon body that seemed to be put together at random, and then raised his head again: "Master, are you talking about my appearance like this?"
