The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 431 - 432: North Sea Flood Dragon’s Younger Brother, Bai He!
Chapter 431: Chapter 432: North Sea Flood Dragon’s Younger Brother, Bai He!
Yang Yan looked down; there was more than one Dragon Palace.
It was an enormous complex, occupying at least a thousand acres of the ocean.
Each building was forged from gold, shining brilliantly, appearing incredibly extravagant.
And the deeper one went, the more the vast Jiaolong Palace left one awestruck.
Constructed beneath the ocean, it was surrounded by countless Shrimp Soldiers and deep sea demon beasts on patrol.
They guarded the entire Dragon Palace’s security!
Even a water fly entering couldn’t escape the patrollers’ eyes.
"Above this..."
Yang Yan, while on the sea’s surface, also saw an island and, looking up from underwater,
discovered the island wasn’t connected to the seabed but was floating on the sea.
It looked just like a giant turtle.
"No, that’s a turtle!" Yang Yan’s gaze penetrated the island.
He found a thick turtle shell, not stone.
A massive turtle’s head was resting with its eyes closed, concealed within its shell, sleeping inside.
*"This turtle spans several thousand meters!"* thought Yang Yan.
Much larger than any tortoise or sea turtle he had ever seen.
*How long has it lived, how powerful must it be?*
He retracted his gaze, and in the blink of an eye, the staircase in front of him had reached its end.
Xun Li and Xun Ya’er entered the water.
Yang Yan followed them, passing through a watery curtain.
Upon looking again, he found himself in a world of gold.
The Dragon Palace, they had arrived!
Within the Dragon Palace boundaries, there wasn’t a drop of seawater.
"Water Repelling Array!" thought Yang Yan.
He speculated that the reason the Jiao Long Clan did this was likely because, within the Jiao Long Clan,
many powerful beings had chosen to take human form.
Living in the ocean dressed in clothes was ultimately uncomfortable.
And even with the Water Repelling Array activated, seawater could still be brought in.
Allowing those who hadn’t transformed into human form the chance to swim and play!
"Are you from the Xun family?" As they stood before the Dragon Palace, a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back emerged.
This person had no expression, his face a picture of indifference.
He showed no courtesy to the Central Continent Xun family members.
"Xun family, Xun Li," replied Xun Li.
"Hmm, follow me," the middle-aged man said dispassionately.
"Alright!"
Xun Li, Xun Ya’er, and others followed the middle-aged man into the Dragon Palace.
They passed through the first hall and arrived at a more enormous hall in front.
Outside, Xun Li and Xun Ya’er could hear the voices of many people from inside.
"Many people have arrived!" thought Xun Li.
Following the middle-aged man into the hall, they saw the people seated inside.
Their entry brought a moment of silence to the hall as everyone turned to look at them.
"The Xun family has arrived!" said someone seated nearest to the hall entrance.
"That must be Xun Li, the most outstanding Direct Son of the Xun family in this generation!"
"It’s him, ranked in the top hundred on the Dragon Ascension List,
known as the Little Spear King!
His spear skills are exquisite, truly unparalleled!
The young woman next to him is his sister, Xun Ya’er.
He came for his sister, to procure Jiao Long Blood!"
Xun Li smiled and raised his hand.
"Greetings, elders!" he greeted.
Some people sitting inside returned the gesture politely, but most did not move.
The Central Continent Xun family indeed had a significant reputation, but how many small-timers were sitting here today?
After all, they all came to procure Jiao Long Blood and were competitors.
I could understand their lack of courtesy.
"Looks like we arrived at the right time, only one person missing, and it’ll begin," Xun Li continued.
They were assigned the most marginal location by the middle-aged man, and aside from that position,
there was only one seat left unoccupied directly across from him in the entire hall.
As soon as all the seats were filled, the contest for Jiao Long Blood would commence!
Nobody arriving later would have another chance to come in!
"Brother, what’s the chance for us to acquire the Jiao Long Blood?" Xun Ya’er asked softly.
Xun Li shook his head faintly.
"Not great. As I suspected, the people here are much more unusual than expected.
I fear some have brought treasures far more precious than ours!" he responded.
"Unusual? More than the Xun family?" Xun Ya’er inquired again.
Xun Li looked serious.
"None of them lose out to the Central Continent Xun family, and two might vaguely surpass us!
Let me introduce them to you, and you’ll understand," he said.
"From top to bottom, they are the Central Continent Nan Family, Central Continent Li Family, Central Continent Tian Family, Central Continent Feng Family, Central Continent Xue Family.
The second row includes the Tianxiang Sect, Shijuan Sect, Xingchen Ancient Sect!
On the far left, appearing to blend into the Void, are the Divine Race!
On the far right, shrouded in veils and concealing themselves,
if my guess is correct, they’re from a Hidden Family or Hidden Sect."
Divine Race, Hidden Family!
Xun Ya’er was astonished.
"Brother, why are there so many mysterious beings this time? Last time you said, the competitors for Jiao Long Blood weren’t this many!"
Xun Li’s eyes were deep.
"The Great Emperor has not appeared, a great era is coming!
The Emperor’s throne, everyone covets it!"
Xun Ya’er gave an uncertain nod.
"Then brother, do we have no chance this time?"
Xun Li stopped speaking openly and communicated with his sister via secret transmission.
"Fortunately, your brother prepared a backup plan for you, it depends on Brother Yang!
By the way!
Brother Yang said yesterday, as long as he came today,
he would be a guest of honor of the Jiao Long Clan, and we would surely obtain Jiao Long Blood.
Let me ask him when we can have the Jiao Long Blood!
If not, we’ll ask him to take action after leaving!"
He turned his head, intending to talk to Yang Yan, who followed them in.
But to his surprise, Yang Yan, who should have been sitting next to them, was nowhere to be found.
"Where is he?" Xun Li wondered, taken aback.
He quickly scanned the surroundings but still didn’t see Yang Yan, and suddenly remembered something.
"No way, did he secretly go to slay the Jiao Long?" Xun Li started to panic.
If he really went after the Jiao Long, he’d be implicated!
"Uncle, did you see where Brother Yang went?" he asked urgently.
The Xun family’s Elder pointed toward the door.
"Just now, I saw him following the middle-aged man who led us out!"
Xun Li immediately stood up.
"Wait here for me, I’ll go find him..."
But no sooner had he spoken, he sat back down.
"Brother, what’s wrong?" Xun Ya’er asked, puzzled.
He had said he would look for Yang Yan, but he sat back down instead.
"I can’t go find him. If he truly went to slay the Jiao Long,
going after him would imply I’m associated with him, that we’re in cahoots!
Moreover, since I brought him into the Jiaolong Palace, the Jiao Long Clan wouldn’t spare me!
If I don’t go looking for him, then no matter what he does,
I’ll be able to dissociate from him!
I’m sure he’ll understand that!" he conveyed via Secret Transmission.
After Xun Li finished speaking, he frowned slightly.
"He wouldn’t be that rash... would he?"
But thinking of Yang Yan’s reputation, a world-dreaded Demon,
he figured that no act by him would be out of the ordinary!
Outside the Dragon Palace, Yang Yan followed the middle-aged man out of the hall.
"Your true form is a Jiao Long, isn’t it?" he asked from behind the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned back, his expression slightly darkened.
"Who are you? Whether I’m a Jiao Long or not, what does it have to do with you?" he replied with a less-than-friendly attitude.
Yang Yan’s lips curled slightly.
"Who I am is none of your concern.
However, whether you are a Jiao Long concerns me.
Because if you’re not, there’s a question I won’t need to ask you!"
The middle-aged man’s brow furrowed, and he scrutinized Yang Yan before responding.
"I am Bai He, younger brother to the North Sea Jiao Long King!
Ask your question!"
Standing before him was a Jiao Long, the brother of the North Sea Jiao Long King, undoubtedly with formidable cultivation!
Yang Yan hadn’t expected this middle-aged man’s identity.
However, he wasn’t overly concerned and nodded gently.
"I ask you, is there a Jiao Long named Hei Feng among your clan?
Where is he? I wish to see him!" he asked bluntly.
Hei Feng!
The mention of this name changed Bai He’s expression.
"What is your relation to Hei Feng?"
Yang Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"No relation, merely met him previously.
He invited me to visit the Jiao Long Clan, so here I am."
Bai He scrutinized Yang Yan, seemingly wanting to discern something.
Yet Yang Yan maintained a calm expression, showing not a flicker of unease, and his physique was unfathomable. Bai He turned his head.
"If you wish to see Hei Feng, follow me!" Bai He said, turning his back to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan didn’t hesitate, and followed behind him, proceeding forward.
Bai He led him through corridors and halls, arriving at a dark, deep cavern.
He turned back, gesturing inside.
"Hei Feng is within, enter if you wish!" he said coldly.
