The source of Wujiang River.
The water in Black Dragon Pool is still and waveless, like a pool of stagnant water.
Fan Li and his group stood on the shore and looked into the water. The darkness was bottomless, like an abyss swallowing all things.
Even within ten miles of the Black Dragon Pond, Fan Li didn't feel a single living thing.
This seems to be an ancient battlefield.
There is no breath of the living, only the ghosts of the dead.
"What a ferocious Wu Zui, he is worthy of being an overlord's mount." Eunuch Chen said in his feminine tone.
"what is that!?"
Xiang Ning suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
On the other side of the Black Dragon Pond, a mysterious man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat stood there quietly for some unknown time.
The three people's eyes were focused on the mysterious man, who also noticed them.
"The poor Taoist Lan Daoxing has met the Emperor of Chu."
As expected, it was Lan Daoxing, and he looked very polite.
Xiang Ning said loudly: "Wujiang River is the boundary of our Da Chu territory. What do you want to do by sneaking into Wujiang River without permission?"
Of course she knew what the other party was up to, but she still wanted to get the upper hand.
Lan Daoxing just chuckled and did not answer.
Under the gazes of the three people, Lan Daoxing took out a fishing rod and started fishing next to the Black Dragon Pond.
"Your Majesty, Lan Daoxing is going to lure Wu Zui." Eunuch Chen said softly.
Obviously, only he, who was also in the Hedao stage, could see what Lan Daoxing was doing.
There were faint ripples spreading out from where the fish float was floating, disrupting the original immersive silence of Black Dragon Pond.
"Wuzhui is about to appear."
Fan Li felt that the fish float was very annoying, and he felt this way in his heart.
If he were living in the Black Dragon Pond and someone dared to fish above his head, Fan Li would definitely rush out and beat up the fishing bastard.
really!
In an instant, the originally mirror-like water surface of Black Dragon Pond suddenly turned into a huge vortex!
The vortex seemed to swallow everything, and something seemed to come out of the center of the vortex!
A huge dark shadow about a hundred feet long loomed across the pond.
"Fellow Taoist, please show up." Lan Daoxing suddenly smiled and lifted the fishing rod with one hand.
The fishhook jumped out of the water, but of course it was empty and nothing fell.
But the next second, a huge dragon shadow soared into the sky from the center of the vortex!
Accompanied by a dragon roar that resounded throughout the world!
The black dragon Wu Zhui really showed up.
"I am a dragon, not a dragon, not a... horse."
Wu Zhui's first sentence only contained nine simple words, but it was full of weirdness.
But its sound was like muffled thunder, hitting the eardrums of everyone including Fan Li heavily.
Wu Zhui's dragon body is extremely huge, hovering high in the sky, stretching for thousands of meters!
Only then did everyone realize that the black shadow in the pool just now was just part of Wu Zhui's body.
"Why do you feel like Wu Zhui didn't wake up?"
Fan Li looked up at Wu Zhui, looking directly into his huge pupils without fear.
Wu Zhui was also looking down at everyone.
Its gaze finally locked on Xiang Ning.
Wu Zhui obviously felt the blood of Xiang Yu's descendant, but he did not become friendly because of it.
Wu Zhui even showed a hint of hostility.
"You...want to ride me like a horse like him?"
Wu Zhui suddenly asked a question without a clue. Xiang Ning couldn't react and was stunned on the spot.
Sudden!
Landao takes action!
I saw something extra in his hand, made of white jade as a shaft and woven with gold wire.
The scroll is unfolded, and the bottom is auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes, which is magnificent. The silver dragons flying in the clouds on both sides of the scroll are priceless!
Fan Li recognized it at a glance, it was an imperial edict!
"During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, he was ordered by heaven to live a long and prosperous life."
"Today, I am specially entrusted with the title of Black Dragon Wu Zui, the sacred beast that protects our country in the Ming Dynasty."
"From the date of the conferment, the country's fortune will be blessed, and you will have endless blessings and longevity!"
Lan Daoxing recited the imperial edict, and his voice seemed to be blessed by magic power, resounding throughout the world and shocking people's hearts.
Wu Zui, who had been staring at Xiang Ning, finally couldn't help but turn the faucet and look at Lan Daoxing.
The black dragon's pupils gradually widened, and there was obviously a hint of expectation.
"The Ming Dynasty...will the national destiny bless me?"
"That's right!"
Lan Daoxing laughed.
"Fellow Taoist Wu Zhui, Pindao is the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty. He was sent by our lord Emperor Jiajing to invite you to join our court of the Ming Dynasty and achieve unparalleled achievements!"
At this time, Xiang Ning finally came to his senses.
She originally planned to conquer Wu Zui and ride on it like her ancestor Xiang Yu, returning to Pengcheng in glory.
Who would have thought that Wu Zhui seemed to have a grudge and was unwilling to be a mount anymore.
On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty invited them with the national destiny, which seemed full of sincerity.
"Treacherous... Prime Minister, what should I do? Lan Daoxing wants to take my Wu Zui away!" Xiang Ning couldn't help but pull Fan Li and asked in a low voice.
"What's your Wu Zui? It's obviously my Wu Zui." Fan Li muttered in his heart.
There is really something wrong with the little emperor, why do you scold him whenever he is anxious?
Before Fan Li could answer, Eunuch Chen said first, "If Your Majesty wants to take action, I can hold Lan Daoxing temporarily to buy time for His Majesty to conquer Wu Zhui."
Xiang Ning was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
She didn't know how to subdue Wu Zui at all. Even if Eunuch Chen tried to delay time, she would be unable to do anything.
"The blessing of national luck...is not enough."
Wu Zhui spoke.
Judging from what he meant, he was actually not satisfied with the chips offered by Lan Daoxing.
Lan Daoxing was not in a hurry and quietly waited for Wu Zhui to open his terms.
"I want to ascend."
Lan Daoxing smiled.
He said loudly: "Fellow Taoist Wu Zhui, please rest assured. Although the world is divided into three parts now, our lord, Emperor Jiajing, is so talented and powerful that he will definitely be able to unify the world. When the time comes, the whole country of Ming Dynasty will be promoted, and Taoist friends will naturally be among them!"
"The whole country...ascension??"
Wu Hao's huge pupils lit up.
Apparently, he was really shaken this time.
Xiang Ning said anxiously: "Wuzhui, you are my Taizu's mount, how can you betray the Chu State? This Wujiang River was given to you by Taizu Overlord. Have you forgotten?"
Fan Li shook his head after hearing this.
Is this idiot here to recruit talents, or is he here to quarrel?
Eunuch Chen was also surprised and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please be careful. Wu Zui is reborn as a dragon. His strength is at least at the peak of the Hedao stage. Lao Nu is definitely no match for him!"
A dragon roar!
Wu Zhui was indeed angry!
"Overlord? I don't owe him anything!"
"I have been fighting with the Overlord for many years, but he didn't take me with him when he ascended!"
"The earthly world is turbid, and only the fairy world can be eternally free. The overlord abandoned me, and I hate him!"
Wu Zui, in a furious state, stirred up the Black Dragon Pond until huge waves rolled. The shore of the pool continued to collapse, forcing Fan Li and others to retreat continuously.
"Damn! Why does Wu Zhui act like a resentful woman?"
Fan Li cursed secretly.
being abandoned?
Isn't this guy still a female dragon?
Fortunately, although Wu Zhui was very angry, he finally did not attack anyone.
Fan Li guessed that it was also looking for a new owner, right?
After all, it took Wu Zui thousands of years just to transform into the dragon form.
With this guy's qualifications, if he wants to cultivate himself to become an immortal, he may not be able to do it even if he cultivates until he grows old and dies.
This thought gave Fan Li a flash of inspiration!
life?
Yes, Wu Zhui has lived for thousands of years. How many years does it have left to live?
Wu Hao did not immediately agree to Lan Daoxing's solicitation, probably because the conditions offered by the other party were not what Wu Hao needed most...
