Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Slaying the Dragon Plan!
The monk didn’t answer, but the Old Master Jin sitting next to Huang Xiaolong issued a dreamy sound, “Impossible… Howuld it be… Absolutely impossible… Dragon… Dragon… This is clearly the divine beast in legends~~No way! There can’t be dragons!”
Old Master Jin was like a man lost in delirium.
Even he, a man of over a hundred years who had seen much of the world,uldn’tntrol his emotions at this moment.

Indeed, in this world, perhaps 99.9 percent of people find it hard to believe that “dragons”uld exist.
Dragons truly are beings described in ancient mythology.
They are powerful enough to oppose the gods!
“Well~~” Huang Xiaolong gave a slight laugh and said indifferently. “In the vast land of Huaxia, the magnificent Shenzhou. If there are humans, ghosts, monsters, zombies… then, it’s not strange for there to be dragons.”
Ma Chuxia wasn’t as shocked as Old Master Jin and Ji Zhengyu. She gathered her thoughts and said seriously, “About 80 years ago in a summer, it rainedntinuously for more than 40 days in a certain place in Huaxia. The rivers swelled, and the reed ponds by the bank turned into an expanse of water. After the heavy rain, people living along the shore were astonished to diver… a dying Sea Dragon trapped in a reed!”
“It is said that at the time, the villagers believed that the arrival of a huge dragon was a sign of good luck. In order to help the trapped dragon ascend to the heavens, some built grass huts for the Sea Dragon, some fetched water to pour over its body to prevent it from drying out. In the temples, many villagers and monks performed rites and prayers for it every day. This went on until another heavy rainstorm came, and the Sea Dragon mysteriously disappeared.”
“However, more than twenty days later, someone picked up some animal bones in the reeds. These bones were as white as jade, clear and immaculate. Some people took small pieces of the animal bones home. These bones had miraculous effects; when ground into powder and applied to wounds, the bleeding would stop immediately, leaving no scars. However, later on, everyone who picked up these animal bones suffered terrible disasters, their entire families died suddenly…”
Having listened to what Ma Chuxia said, the monk slightly nodded, showing a look of admiration in his eyes, and said, “There areuntless stories about dragons in history. In the thirty-snd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, a dragon was found by Taibai Lake. It had large scales and long whiskers, a white belly and a green back, with fins on its back, tall horns on its head, and a fishy smell thatuld be smelled from miles away. The local peoplevered it with mats, and the officials personally offered sacrifices. After a thunderstorm in the night, the dragon disappeared. It left a deep trench where it had lain.”
“Hehe~~ dragons must surely exist in this world.” Huang Xiaolong nodded with certainty.
The monk smiled at Huang Xiaolong, put his hands together, and said, “You are extraordinary, benefactor. My Dharma name is ‘Guan Zhen’, and I am the current abbot of the ‘Dragon Suppression Temple’.”
“Dragon Suppression Temple?” Xia Ying slightly frowned, lost in thought.
“Yes, the Dragon Suppression Temple, located in the mountains behind Chu Family Village, is but a humble, obscure temple.” Monk Guan Zhen smiled lightly.
“As the name suggests, the Dragon Suppression Temple is meant to suppress a dragon. There’s a dragon in the mountains behind the Chu Family Village…hahaha~~~interesting.” Excitement flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.
“Young man, if it really was a true dragon, none of us would dare to disrespect the dragon’s might, let alone slaughter it.” Monk Guan Zhen’s expression was extremely solemn. “To be precise, it’s a dragon’s soul.”
Monk Guan Zhenntinued, “A thousand years ago, it is said that this Chu Family Village was a mountainous region. One day, a cloud of disastervered the sun, and a wicked dragon was born. Overnight, it caused carnage and destruction, turning dozens of surrounding villages into ashes. Then, a large number of eminent monks, magicians, martial artists fought a bloody battle with the wicked dragon for 49 days. At a heavyst, they finally shattered the dragon’s body.”
“The evil dragon fell to what is now the back mountain of Chu Family Village. However, although its body perished, its dragon spirit was immortal! At that time, both the Buddhist and Taoists, as well as the martial artists were severely injured, and many lineages were even severed, no longer possessing the power to exterminate the dragon spirit. They had no choice but to seal the carcass of the evil dragon and its spirit in the mountains. A temple, the ‘Dragon Suppressing Temple’ was built to suppress it tightly, preventing the ferocious dragon from returning to the world and causing disaster.”
“The lifelong duty of each master of the Dragon Suppressing Temple is to guard the seal. A thousand years later, to the generation of this poor monk… the dragon spirit seems to be growing stronger, while the power of the seal, is weakening…”
“The spirit of the evil dragon is about to make its return!”
“We have no choice but to provide it with blood offerings every day, delaying the dragon spirit from breaking the seal and descending into the mortal world. On the other hand, we are urgently gathering like-minded individuals to discuss plans to slay the dragon. In recent years, its appetite has grown. If this poor monk’s calculations arerrect, it will be able to break the seal and rule the world in seven days!”
Ma Chuxia and the others marveled at thismment.
However, Huang Xiaolong just chuckled, “You have been plotting to slay the dragon for quite some years now. How is it that you’ve only managed to gather a few people? Huaxia is filled with capable individuals. Although the Buddhists and Taoists are in decline, there are still wise individuals among them. Not to mention the top ten ancient martial families, whichntinuously produce Grandmasters…”
Monk Guan Zhen, Xuanyuan Ao, Mangy Dog, and even the Ghost King, all had a peculiar look flashing in their eyes upon hearing this.
“Hahahahaha~~~ Let’s be candid,” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered as he leisurely spoke. “Your slaying of the dragon is primarily for personal gain. Therefore, you do not want more people involved to share in your rewards.”
“The dragon spirit is a divine artifact. Once the dragon spirit is shattered, the dragonrpse bmes a lifeless object that you can divide as you please,” Huang Xiaolong insightfully pointed out. “If you, Ghost King, get the dragon spirit and merge it with your ghost body, you can ascend to the heavens in one step and bme a Ghost Immortal, enjoying the offerings of the mortal world. Moreover, Xuanyuan Ao, you are a martial artist, if you obtain the nourishment of the dragon spirit, your martial arts talent and potential will reach an astonishing level. Even using the dragon spirit to practice alchemyuld lead to achieving a Taoist Body akin to the ones of cultivators. Without even mentioning ascending into heaven, you would at least have a chance at immortality.”
“And you?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Monk Guan Zhen, squinting his eyes, “You stand to gain the most from the dragon’s spirit. Once you obtain it, youuld even achieve Buddhahood…”
“Hahahahaha~~~~~” Monk Guan Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, his kind expression darkening, and his eyes revealing a hint of greed. “Good, good, young man, you can see through our plans…”
In an instant, Xuanyuan Ao, Ghost King, and Mangy Dog all emitted an intimidating killing aura.
The atmosphere in the Buddha Hall became oppressively gloomy!
Huang Xiaolong simply laughed it off.
“Wait a moment~~~” Monk Guan Zhen’s distorted face quickly calmed down, bmingmpassionate. “Our slaying of the dragon is not only for personal gain but also to rid the world of this monster, to prevent it from bringing catastrophe unto all living beings. However, young man, you’re right. We four alone will likely fail to slay the dragon and may instead be wounded by it. We must have strong support. You are just right, the most suitable candidate. If you join our plan, once the dragon is slain, you can have a share of the benefits!”
“Slaying a dragon, that sounds fun. I haven’tme across anything as fun as this. It’s much more exciting than catching ghosts.” Huang Xiaolong was inexplicably excited, rubbing his hands together, “Tell me your plan to slay the dragon!”
